Is it good to cut off access to the modern equivalent of the public square just because we don't like what is being said?
It is good to cut off access to the public square to people who want to cut off our access to it (as well as our heads). It's our public square, after all.
Sympathies and violence keeps spreading. See what happened in Paris and Denmark. People from Europe travel to Syria and Iraq to fight with ISIS, get training and AK47s, and then come back to Europe to kill the infidels.
In the end, such an elaborate scheme is probably directed towards very high value targets. I don't think this is the kind of trojan that runs out in the wild. I could be mistaken, though.
Millions of people doing on-line banking are a high value target. The investment to design a trojan only needs to be done once.
Slashdot Mirror
I only use it for the most harmless conversations with family and friends.
Me too. Now if only they could enforce a tie between G+ and Slashdot....
Why are there so many studies about a non-existent problem ? If you want to model a disease, why not a deadly flu ?
In particular, I wonder how they'll handle Global Warming / Climate Change discussions.
That's a simple one. There's not really a dispute there.
On the other hand, splitting up the country in three parts isn't a happy solution either, when one of the territories has most of the oil.

Sadam was much easier to contain than a bunch of anonymous rebels.

... using a small hex wrench.
I leave mine in the aquarium, safely out of reach from the kids.
You have to pull out eventually, so it would have only delayed it. It would have been a lot smarter to have left Saddam there.
Oh, wait, did you mean the airstrikes were IMPROVING our safety? ROFL WAFL!
It has allowed the Kurds to take back some territory. Without it, ISIS would have continued to expand their territory, and become a greater threat.
They've destroyed 6000 old artefacts. They'll destroy the TVs too.
perhaps engineer some meta-materials that hold such properties at room temperature.
Doesn't even have to be room temperature. Being able to make a MRI machine using liquid nitrogen instead of helium would be a huge win.
You will always have heat buildup to deal with in any system that does something useful.
Superconducting magnets are useful, even if they're not doing work.
And how many are still alive ?
Doesn't mean you can't enjoy the sport.
What they need to do is put a bootloader in there that can't be read or modified, and then sign the firmware binary with the bootloader's key.
There's still a lot of space in the vertical direction.

This is pointless without JTAG hardware to directly access the flash memory.
Normal users would read/update the firmware through the existing firmware, so if that's been tampered with there's no way you can be sure.
After you replace the laborer, what's going to happen to his standard of living ?
They do, if they want to come work.
That's mostly because people around the world are very careful not to let sufficient quantities of methane mix with air in an stoichiometric ratio.
So your hypothesis is that the Russians are doing secret weapon testing in a remote area, and then showing the results in the news ?
