However over the past 10 years a lot of the creators of botnets have found that they can use the botnets to generate lots of cash by moving spam, selling information etc.
No, they've found that they can rent out their botnets to people who generate lots of cash by moving spam, selling information, etc. If you've got the cash and are willing to spend it you can rent a botnet for your political DDOS.
Suicide bombers are blowing a shit load of things up in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Yes. In Afghanistan and Iraq. Now if there were no American troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, how many American soldiers would have died in those bombings?
> That is the work of a bunch of nutcases who occasionally get lucky.
It is also the work of a bunch of nutcases who are only interested in local issues and wouldn't bother to ship anyone out if the USA would get the fuck out of their internal affairs. And no, it isn't about oil. Whoever is in power is going to sell the stuff to the highest bidder no matter what their religion, politics, or alliances.
And now, suppose that it is possible to detect suspicious areas of an image and do a more thorough scan.
They will come up with a heuristic that will work in 90% of their rigged demos.
This simply increases the safety risks of these machines.
The risks will be redefined as required.
X-ray scanners? How is that exposure going to be controlled?
The usual way: by promises by the government, which knows what's best for you (the remark about transmission x-ray machines hidden in the metal detector was intended as hyperbole).
Is testing ever going to be held to the degree of rigor required for aircraft?
The TSA has already written a standard and gotten it rubber-stamped. No doubt it is every bit as rigorous as the Federal standard for voting manchines.
If not, why should we be willing to accept the risks of using these machines?
Because, like three-quarters of the population of the developed countries, you are so terrified of "terrorism" that you pee yourself at the thought.
Bringing the object up to the same velocity as the station is just a technical issue.
A very large, difficult technical issue. In fact, a technical issue at least as large and difficult as getting the object up to the altitude of the station.
You wouldn't want an unpowered weapon to be in orbit anyway, it has to come down and hit a target.
While escape velocity could theoretically be achieved with a gun orbit cannot. This is because the orbit of a satellite will always pass through the point at which it ceased to be accelerated, which in this case is at the muzzle of the gun. You would have to add an orbital insertion rocket.
The only thing you get from SHA-2 or SHA-3 over SHA-1 is better probability of not colliding, and a more difficult time of deliberately creating a collision.
And the risk of accidental collisions is negligible while deliberate collisions are irrelevant to the use of hashes in Git as they have no security-related function there.
The theory is that the machines were infected via thumb drives. The traffic is supposed to be coming from thousands of Iranian "nuclear scientists" sitting in internet cafes desperately searching for a solution to their Stuxnet problem.
It's unlikely that any of the machines you list require the exact speeds that Stuxnet is programmed for (even other uranium enrichment centrifuges are unlikely to operate at exactly the same speeds). And yes, enrichment centrifuges do require precise speed control, though it is true that many other machines also do.

I don't need it. 1.5Mb is fast enough. I know others for whom even lower speeds suffice. Not everyone watches television over the Net.

No. Not for all of us.
> It's to work with these countries to keep the peace.
Unfortunately, that's what the nutcases in Washington, London, Brussels, etc think that they are doing.
Yes. In Afghanistan and Iraq. Now if there were no American troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, how many American soldiers would have died in those bombings?

The majority of the population. They believe that TSA is all that stands between them and fiery death.
Obviously it can since airplanes and automobiles are not banned.

...will automatically detect suspicious areas of the image and rescan them slowly at high power.
Or they'll just go to transmission x-ray scanners concealed in the metal detector frame.

It is superficially similar to a simplified approximation of the feudal land-granting system.

Um, I meant mod the AC's response to me up, not my comment.

You don't have to. There are many other choices.
More than four people use Debian, where Exim is standard and works out of the box.
Debian has released a DSA and a fixed version for Stable. See Debian Security Advisory DSA-2131-1 and Debian Security .

As I said, precise speed control.

Nor did I say it was.
But will you epoxy up all the USB connectors on your minions' computers?

Astrology has been falsified. String theory has not.
It already has: it was first detected outside Iran. It does no significant damage outside the correct environment. Stuxnet
The guys at my local power company can request (and receive) assistance from Siemens, Microsoft, the US Government... Iran? Not so much.
