It proves that anyone can create a cryptocurrency based on whatever stupid meme they feel like, therefore all cryptocurrencies have no actual reason to have a value outside of the gullibility of their users. They're modern art.
"Linksys (...) devices are made by Sercomm, meaning that Cisco, Watchguard, Belkin (...)"
It reminds me that scary graph where half a dozen companies control almost all the stuff you see on supermarket shelves. I remember reading nice fairy tales in school about open markets, and fair and diverse competition being paramount to the western economic model...
You just follow Jesus's teaching as guidelines, without obsessing about the other stories that were made up in the book when hard questions didn't seem to have answers.
Some people believe in a god who set the universe's rules and pushed the button, let things evolve to their current (predestined) state, and loves all of his toys.
It is a bit confusing, but a lot less than young earth stuff because its doesn't change the obviousness of evolution (and a society following "love thy neighbor" rules isn't a bad way to operate).
Answering myself here. Were they getting too much traffic on./ ? I'm looking for a reason to have made the comment section so much more painful to filter and use.
Nation, by Terry Pratchett, because it's supposedly young adult, but it touches a lot of very crucial topics. And of course, the whole Discworld series, because it's satire on a massive scale.
On the other hand, I went to a major retail chain (formerly renowned for their catalog) and the guy told me he "had to" use his Apple-powered checkout gadget, because of some kind of quota. It took at least 5 times longer than if he had use a good-ol' cash register like the one right next to him, on which he still had to type a couple things, and which printed my receipt. Actually, it was the machine 8 feet away which was linked to his toy, making the whole thing patently ridiculous as he went back and forth. He had to scroll on the tiny apple screen to input data which has dedicated keys on the productivity-optimized dedicated hardware.
I'm glad there wasn't a line, because this was a perfect example of not-an-upgrade. As an "extra cashier" tool during black Friday, maybe it's useful, but the place was empty and the registers were running.
Well, to be fair, other parts of the US government are very very busy manufacturing new needles all the time. There is no questions that there are needles which can be found. But if that haystack is still out of reach by now, that needle isn't likely to stab anyone, so is it worth searching for?
I don't see a problem with the statement:
- For $10M, the NSA became a customer
- RSA didn't design or enable back doors, it provided an inferior and more breakable encryption. That's not technically a back door.
Pay attention to the weasel words. No statement gets out unchecked by Legal.
I just felt like I was reading the transcript of a talk by the Russians about the US after the Launch of Sputnik, or maybe Gagarin.
I am looking forward to seen whether the amateurs can make it to the moon before the Chinese. The main difference is resiliency to failure, and failures there will be.
> you're pretty much handing the next election to your opponent, who will claim that the attack was your fault because you were too soft.
I'd like you now to direct your attention to all the European countries previous victims of terrorism, and how their populations have typically understood that leaving the door slightly open to an attack was the price to pay, for their taxes going to more useful things than spying on everyone.
The overreaction of the US, the terrorist paranoia down to the last moldy shack in the Bayou, has really amazed those people who hadn't lived in denial of the rest of the world since they were born.
The answer is obvious to anyone who likes old-style mythology:
When the gods rotate the universe to look for their next vacation spot, the resulting Coriolis force makes galaxies spin. They don't all spin in the same direction because of The Great Nebula Outing Debate of 10 000 000 000 PBB (Post-Big-Bang), when the Almighty-Mothers-In-Law kept rotating back and forth until The-So-Cute-One (then a toddler at barely 10000 years old) randomly sneezed a few more stars on Orion. Ever since that event, people on Durandil Major have been unable to predict the way the water will flow when they flush their toilets.
Right, because most people use all their other cores to run a nice convenient infinite loop of ADD instructions. It doesn't make the attack easier, it "could" make the attack easier, under a particular and highly unrealistic scenario.
I don't know who's supposed to have that control, but I sure will find how to hack it via bluetooth or Wifi! Just enough reach for the cars around mine.

Also, Cyrano de Bergerac, just because.

I don't have my phonebook, can you remind me the number for rent-a-Stradivarius?

I cringe every time I see elementary school children reciting the pledge of allegiance.
Start them young...
Considering that this kind of revelations could cause massive exodus of all RSA's non-US (and many US) customers, that's a surprisingly low number.
Don't blame them, the editors really care, given their apparent short-term memory loss and/or schizophrenia.
(yes I know about varying medical definitions of schizo)

The Chinese are getting ready to send a repair guy there, in case they need a tow or a jump-start.
That picture will be awesome!

Yep, one the main points of these free-trade zones was to remove the burden of local compliance for export products.
Sprinkle with lead, and put for two hours at PM2.5 set to 1000.
Once baked, package carefully for shipping in that nice Walmart box.

lawyers, but lairs would have been good too.
Yep, that's the roar of US car dealers running to their layers and politicians to get a ban on Lego stores...

Pessimist! You mean other governments could learn from the Arab spring?
And you thought that Dos Santos being a huge playground was a good thing?
