The Feds make the fiat currency, the States take it. All S10 does is say the States can't make their own, unless it is gold or silver. It says nothing about accepting other currency defined by the Feds.
They're trying to make the point of the furor and debate over the last month was triggered by only a small amount of data. A good portion of the conversation has been an attempt to deflect the attacks to Snowden himself, instead of what the information showed.
Still, it resulted in multiple Congressional hearings; a very close vote to defund aspects of the PATRIOT Act; and a public act of perjury by the DNI.
His point is all that was prompted by only the tip of the iceberg, and they still have the entire polar expanse to uncover.
He could also be putting various public officials on notice that they better not lie to the public about what they knew and approved of, because he can quite possibly publicly call them on it.
Wow. This was news when they were released back in 2008. It is interesting to see the devices becoming popular again.
Back in the day they were demoed by putting the little unit and batteries in a novelty plastic cup shaped like a pineapple. The lid had a hole for a straw that was just the right size for a wifi antenna.
You can buy those cups on Ebay and in party stores.
Now add that to the navigation software in my GPS and I know what neighborhoods to avoid and where to troll for prostitutes or drug dealers!
Add that into the GPS in rental cars and you get a major news item -- from a few years ago when this caused outrage in Chicago. I can't find the specific story, but it was big for a few days.
You're describing an extreme corner case. Detailed modifications to a kernel that intercepts specific reads is not exactly what they are worried about.
If they are then the next iteration of devices will be like the Chromebooks, with TPM chips and signed boot loaders and kernels.
My guess would be a shim program that performs cryptographic checksums of the running kernel, or a key component. The shim is downloaded as part of whatever application wants to implement restricted DRM, such as Netflix.
What the kernel replies is of no consequence, since it is never queried.
Notice he said "turning an interface on and off", not "rebooting".
Nothing says "I'm a noon and came from a Windows world" like rebooting a switch or router to fix a problem.
Logs on those devices are in memory. Rebooting clears the logs and you then can't troubleshoot. If you can't troubleshoot, you'll never know what really happened. If you don't know the root cause of the failure you can't prevent it from happening again.

If you use a service like Lavabit and need advance notice to back up your email, there is something seriously wrong.
The Offspring's "Pretty Fly For a White Guy" probably describes you perfectly.
It says "make" not "take".

Silver corrodes nicely.
That Swedish Bikini Team beats a shirtless Putin any day of the week. Even Obama knows that.

...heavy bureaucracy, political infighting, mediocre employees. It's just unattractive all around.
How is that different from the private sector?
The best I can find, since there IS NO TFA TO READ, is an IARPA solicitation from 2010/2011.

Slashdot editing has not only gone downhill, it has hit bottom and started to dig.

I swear that last sentence was copied verbatim out of a PowerPoint slide our CIO sent around...
Grow a set and use a straight razor like God intended. Nothing focuses your mind in the morning like the possibility of accidental suicide.
If you REALLY want to wake up, use one in the shower. You'll be VERY careful about dropping it.
Wrong pronoun. It isn't for testing * your * passwords, it is for testing other people's password.
You didn't see Rio, then, did you?
You don't see how a condition that is often caused by too much gas applies to Slashdot? Are you new here?
Actually, they're flip-flopped on that one just a couple of days ago. Check out this headline from July 9, 2013:
FBI Nominee Agrees: Waterboarding Is 'Torture' And 'Illegal'
http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2013/07/09/200529915/fbi-nominee-agrees-waterboarding-is-torture-and-illegal
With the recent success of Parallella, that might actually be feasible. Hmmm....
Screw him! Where's the three-breasted mutant prostitute?

Maybe through the integration of SELinux and MAC, which was buried in the announcement.
You're going to make me explain the joke, aren't you?
In British English a "fag" is a cigarette. "Going out to light up a fag" is the equivalent of saying "Going out for a smoke".
Or maybe that you're going outside to light up a few fags. Usually works just as well, depending on the crowd.
Next time, carry a pack of Mentos with that Diet Coke and maybe you'll have a chance.
