I got mine, a Casio, for ~$30, several months ago, and it has both a battery and a this thing called a 'solar cell.' Turns out, most people need light to read a watch face, and will be outside at some point during the three months or so that it might take to discharge the battery...it can also charge just fine indoors, using ambient light. Like a solar calculator, doesn't need much to run...
I was thinking more of a game with submersible water sprites (2-men boats, relatively fast), with your commanding officer given a paintball gun. If he hits you (your sprite, with his sprite or the a paintball, depending on his mood), you don't drive that week. Learn to watch all sides pretty quick ~and below~...
Well, they have a mathematical proof, and you know what Feynman says about scientists who rely solely on mathematical proofs: prove it! Real world, now.
Uhh, let's see here...Botnets are as common as grass, and nothing to freak out about. If you've been even glancing at IT trade mags for the past several years, you already know how to deal with the ensuing DDOS attacks. There are even services, mentioned right here on/., that proudly advertise that they won't boot you if you are the target of the DDOS attack, because they know now how to handle them, with ease.
So at best, this is more of a last mile problem: the owners of said devices are likely to have important identity information stolen from them, and, God forbid, a company using such insecure devices on their network (and not staying on top of updates / security notices)...well, we have a phrase for people like that -> "trusting in the wind."
But if we look at this post more intelligently, as a likely plant to generate some FUD, or to make some tech stocks sink, well, that makes more sense, doesn't it?
That's wonderful, but on a more important topic, has Microsoft gotten around to fixing their bootloader for Windows 10 IoT, such that we can (God please) finally boot off of a USB hard drive (read: SSD) on something like the Raspberry Pi 3 (which just needs a quick config change to make happen, and is already supported by many linux distros), or are we still going to be stuck with read speeds that an ATA-100 hard drive (not even ATA-133...) could beat?
Russian hackers / {crackers}? Your guess is as good as mine. Though they are pretty good at cracking DRM on video games, etc. I think I'm supposed to post something like: ----===Greetz Fr0m Raz0r 1911 to all the crews===----...
Oh wait, you meant Kaspersky. Still looking for some evidence there...I mean, they are Russian (I think?), but that's purely beyond their control (they were born that way).
Now, why the contractor was using last year's antiviral / anti-malware solution? Questions should be asked. I could double-check the leaked Panama Papers, but I thought BitDefender...and one other, someone remind me, was this year's hotness. Unless that's what the CIA / NSA wants us to think (puts on tin foil hat).
1.) Firefox has driven itself off a cliff in an attempt to be the better Chrome. We had a useful browser that worked on many different platforms; we now have something that doesn't even work with its own plugins from a generation ago.
2.) Video drivers. We had this one down with Flgrx (or whatever it was called) with AMD, and Nvidia wasn't half bad; the current set of open-source drivers for cards like the RX480 is deplorable (We can do 4K @60Hz in Windows, but not in Linux....). And the drivers are STILL having issues where there is an Intel iGPU and a dGPU (at least of an AMD origin).
In short, things have gotten worse on the Linux platform, and it's not because MS changed the secret sauce again; it's because of apathy and stupidity.
It's an annoying PITA that somehow manages to activate even with the lock screen on. And parts of it appear to be like a Steam game, as you can acquire Bixby points, which probably unlock achievements.
Still don't know how to turn the Infinity Midnight theme back-on, but Bixby I'm learning more and more about each day, despite a lack of a compelling feature. And Samsung really, really wants me to store my credit card information on my phone, for their smart pay thing.

Actually, suing is the legal equivalent of asking the courts a question.

Somehow I don't think we should be limiting the world to the smartest that the DoJ can buy...
So you'd rather play 'The Hat,' would you? Hmmm.
Ah, a potential Counter Strike issue. A track ball would be taxing on the hand.
Nada, was beaten out by this year's hotness, "2 Marines 1 MRE".

If the UI was a web app...they should just total the ship, and start over from scratch. That's the safest route.

Thank You.
But security costs money!

IT's Glory Days have come and gone.
On a side note, I'm curious what your opinion of Quakers might be.
That's not how the PC industry works.
There are some people who aren't aware that JavaScript is the Internet's equivalent of an STD...
Wait, can I get that as a browser extension, and some mild randomization? I have an idea...

1.) Fire all the smart people because they cost so much.
2.) Profit!
3.) Company collapses under lawsuits, pressure from competitors, outright thievery...

Kind of an Oprah moment: "You get a pink slip, and you get a pink slip, everybody gets a pink slip!"
Nonsense. We have the Cloud now, so it's totally cool to use default or easily guessable passwords.
And thus the end of the human race came not with a roar, nor applause, nor whining, nor crying, nor even silence, but with the air heavy with apathy.
