Airports are low priority targets that should not be heavily protected, except to prevent people from gaining access to the planes.
Not if the planes aren't your actual target. If what you want to do is generate fear and terror then blowing up or attacking an airport is a perfectly feasible way of getting what you want.
Anywhere people congregate is a viable target in that case, even blowing up sparsely-populated parts of a terminal could be effective. If you knew that there was a good chance that the airport was going to be bombed, shelled, or flooded with poison gas, how eager would you be to go to the airport?
So yeah, planes are a fine target for maniacs, but so are the airports themselves, and they're a hell of a lot harder to secure.
My Apple//e had a 90-day warranty. Ninety days. It has worked flawlessly for 30 years. I bet you won't be able to say the same thing about your modern electronics.
Facebook: Oh, gee, did we say "we're tracking you"? What we actually meant to say is that "we're not tracking you". Heh heh, silly us, slip of the tongue and all that. k thnx bai
So they have no firewall on their network to prevent un-authorized access from outside the building? I think that's the point he was trying to make.
Of course not, this is Joe and Jane Sixpack we're talking about here. They buy it, they plug it in. The End. They wouldn't know a firewall if they tripped over one.

No one should be able to connect to and manipulate this device in the first place.
Oh I totally agree, and that was the point I was trying to make. These things are designed without even a passing thought to security, and they get hacked because 99.999999999% of consumers don't have any firewall in place, nor do they even know that they need one. (Or that such a thing even exists.)
In other words, they aren't designed to not be manipulated or hacked, therefore they will be.
Yeah, a squadron of these things would be a major game-changer in the air-superiority arena.
They "think" fast, they don't get tired, they don't black out, they don't get distracted or confused, and they don't have to worry about a commanding officer giving them shit about something or other or second-guessing their every move.
It's no surprise to me at all that this pilot got waxed repeatedly when pitted against a tactical fly-and-fight computer.
Second time you posted this. Second time it makes no sense whatsoever. It's in an article about IP addresses/copyrights. WTF does that have to do with Oculus in any way?
Well, the thing is that the "Designated Hitter Rule" has been a subject of controversy for quite a while now, what with all the wind farms that are being proposed in Norway. I don't know how I could make it any clearer.
"Hey, your game has a black gun that can shoot the bad guys, and our game has a black gun that can shoot the bad guys, so CLEARLY you are INFRINGING on our game!!!!"
The number of prople who put either the ATM or their card "out of order" by pushing the card into the cash-dispensing slot, or the receipt printing slot would vastly increase.
Most of the ATMs I see have a flashing light around the card entry area to cue you where to put your card in and another flashing light around the cash exit slot. They each flash as a cue as to where to put the card or when to take the cash.Alternatively they could block the cash exit slot until the card goes in (I think the BOA machines do that already if I'm not mistaken).

You note that part of this machine is made of translucent plastic - and is taken advantage of by the skimmer's designer.
Translucent, but not clear. A clear casing, like they use in prison TV sets and similar items, would make it harder to attach something without it being at least a little more obvious, I would think.
Are you unfamiliar with the notion of a bank vault?
Not one that floats and is somehow impervious to attacks by well-equipped, roving gangs of pirates, no.
I've also never seen a bank vault with an engine that could be broken or damaged, either, or one that could be towed to a location where it could be plundered at leisure.
What could go wrong with having huge autonomous supertankers and cargo ship meandering about the ocean with no human guidance? Nothing, nothing could possibly go wrong.
For those of you not familiar with Brandon Mayfield, he is an American attorney in Washington County, Oregon who was erroneously linked to the 2004 Madrid train bombings. On May 6, 2004, the FBI arrested Mayfield as a material witness in connection with the Madrid attacks, and held him for over two weeks. Mayfield was not charged, and an FBI internal review later acknowledged serious errors in their investigation.
The Spanish National Police shared the fingerprints with the FBI through Interpol. 20 possible matches for one of the fingerprints were found in the FBI database and one of the possible matches was Brandon Mayfield. The FBI described the fingerprint match as "100% verified". According to the court documents in judge Ann Aiken's decision, this information was largely "fabricated and concocted by the FBI and DOJ".
What I find amazing, and it's proven time and time again is that atheists not only don't appear to have a heart of love, understanding, and co-operation, and infact they have a heart full of rage and hate for some reason which shows in their vulgar speech;
Oh noes, did my mean ol' language hurt your poor, sensitive little feelings? Did your virgin ears become sullied from hearing my awful, awful facts? O The Horror!
Oh yeah, atheists are so full of rage that our Holy Book goes on at length about killing anyone who's an apostate or even tries to renounce his atheism, killing anyone who's gay, cutting off the hands of thieves, killing adulterers by stoning, restricting women and degrading them, proscribing death for anyone who is caught "spreading mischief in the land", and so on.
Oh wait, it's the Quran that specifies all those things. Never mind!

No matter how far from the airport you put the security, if there is a crowd in line outside that security point, it's vulnerable to attack

You could say it, it just wouldn't be true, lol.
So I stopped coming to /. for like 6 years.
Is this what replaced goatse links and gnaa?
Pretty much, yeah.

Here's How Pinterest can suck my dick. Open Pinterest's mouth, insert schlong.
The part about me "buying stuff" isn't part of that equation, I'm happy to say.
Let me be the first to say, "FUCK YOU!" to any artist that does this.
I'll never attend your concert or buy your music. I'll go out of my way to pirate it if I like it, but you'll never get a fucking dime from me.
Far less controversial than the Designated Hitler rule, let me assure you.
I'm pretty sure that the Designated Hitler rule is why they only have nein guys on a baseball team.

Does anyone know why these posts keep appearing?
Because some people have no life and just love to spew their nonsensical hatred.
So why are those pieces of hardware designed to allow naughty unnecessary communications.
The problem is not that they're designed to allow naughty unnecessary communication, the problem is that they're not designed not to.
It's like designing a door with a knob but no lock- there was no thought given to keeping the bad guys out.
This is going to be a bigger and bigger problem with the advent of IoT crap (the Internet Of Trash).
Would you rather have APK? Or the appy app app LUDDITE guy?
No, and yes, in that order.
The APPY APP guy is just a clown, APK is a festering boil on the internet's anus.
And when I say I don't have any social media accounts, how long will it take for me to get out of the "suspicious person detention cage"?
I have no facebook, no twitter, no instagram, no pinterest, no linkedin, no nothin'. I'm screwed.
Guess it's time to make a bunch of accounts and fill them with pictures of adorable cats and cute puppy dogs.

And surprise, surprise, it wasn't him.

Like I'd take advice from some nobody named "Sergey".
CryptXXX only runs on Microsoft Windows I presume ..
I recently switched to Linux Mint; could you perhaps recommend some good Linux-compatible ransomware that I can run on my machine?
