Power conditioners may handle more issues, but surge protectors will probably be enough protection to limit the actual damage from geomagnetic storm since brown outs usually do not cause major damage. Yeah I know low voltage over a while can cause considerable damage to some equipment. Maybe a low voltage cut off would help with brown outs. So one either needs surge protectors with expensive coils and caps in addition to the a $0.29 MOV. Now are they needed for the whole house or just the expensive and delicate computer and TVs?
The no fly list has been in effect for many years. Why did it take so long for a judge to call foul on the Gov. for such rediculous rules?
This should have happened within the first year!

Physicist Julius Edgar Lilienfeld filed a patent for a field-effect transistor (FET) in Canada in 1925, which was intended to be a solid-state replacement for the triode.[1][2] Lilienfeld also filed identical patents in the United States in 1926[3] and 1928.[4][5] However, Lilienfeld did not publish any research articles about his devices nor did his patents cite any specific examples of a working prototype. Because the production of high-quality semiconductor materials was still decades away, Lilienfeld's solid-state amplifier ideas would not have found practical use in the 1920s and 1930s, even if such a device had been built.[6] In 1934, German inventor Oskar Heil patented a similar device.[7] -
The transistor was REINVENTED in 1947!!! -
Following its development in 1947 by John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley, the transistor revolutionized the field of electronics
Most devices that one would connect to the Internet of Things - IOT are mundane data, not peeps into ones life.
Temperature, humidity, wind, sun, rain, etc. None of these need security, so why bother?
Only the things that indicate some personal action, absence, presents like open/close door, walk down hall, would one want to be secret, use HTTPS.
Since most of the reporting will be mundane statistics the security is NOT needed, just us HTTP.
I would have the owner of the car get a phone messge to go get in the car and activate the bluetooth connection and then punch in some code. Once this is done the phone would provide the car with any updates.
This would prevent any script kiddies, theives, police or FBI from doing any damage to the vehichle becuase only the owner with the authorized bluetooth would be able to do the updates. I know the police and FBI would prefer to have total access but this is a HUGE privacy issue and they MUST have a court order and show cause BEFORE they get access. Fishing expiditions are NOT allowed!
Turn all the canals off!
Build lakes, resevoirs up in the mountains and preserve the water for future use.
The Core of Eng. should be shot for building the canals.
Very bad planning, nobody could forsee the time when Cal. would NEED water.
I guarantee you people were screaming that the water should be preserved not thrown away.
Tell the town fathers, grandfathers and great grandfathers that okayed this catastraphy that they just lost their right to live in Calif.
Shame on you!
The Government now will be the goto excuse for anyone with any type of computer hackery, virus, trojan, malwear, etc. including ilicit images and pornography. I am not to blame, the Gov.; NSA, FBI, CIA, other TLAs used "Ambassador's Reception" (http://yro.slashdot.org/story/14/02/08/1438242/snowden-docs-show-uks-digital-spies-using-viruses-honey-traps) to put it on my compuer. Prove me wrong! The Gov. reply will be some form of "we can neither confirm nor deny"... End of case,
While it might be the desire to "do it yourself" don't!
The "do it yourself" job will never end, always be in need of some tweaking, and it almost totally unsaleable, it's yours only you know what it's doing and how to fix it.
I would not rely on WiFi for communication, due to security issues. Anyone can listen in on your system and get a good idea of what is going on, how vunerable one is and how to gain access.
One can help the instalation by putting Cat5/6 in all the walls and access locations.
Don't forget, garage, patio, pool, front walk, etc. When someone wants the front lit up with blinking Xmas lights timed to some music, it needs HA connection.
NSA, FBI, CIA, other TLAs or the Police, any could show up and DEMAND the information.
To protect yourself and us put up a sign that No-one has come looking for the data either individually or en-mass.
You have NOT received NSL letters and will remove the sign when they do arrive.
Something like the 1859 Carrington Event or even stranger will provide some warning.
Shut the grid down!
Turn EVERYTHING OFF!
Unplug EVERYTHING!
With no live current the device killing current surges will be much less.
Go ouside and enjoy the light show.
DO NOT use any electrical appliance, not even battery operated, it will be burned out!
I guarantee you very shortly after UEFI was even thought about the NSA would be at their door with a mandated back door, and covered by NSL Letters!
So UEFI is protection from insecure boot, except if the Gov. wants in.
The whistle blowing issue is not relevant the Prosecutorial Misconduct is..
Someone in the state MUST bring charges on the F__king asshole that fired Ben Kruidbos and make a good case against the AG for the firing and give Ben a perpetual free ride for a thankyou. This type of attitude in any gov. society MUST be corrected. Municipal, County, State the National Prosecutors MUST be informed that Prosecutorial Misconduct will NOT be tolerated at any level!
What would happen when the CopyRight police; MPAA, RIAA and Book Associations find material being downloaded?
How does the provider find the offender and who gets the 3, 6 strikes?
