if anything this "wreck the computer" attack seems less useful.
Imagine that you're a CIO tasked with protecting data worth billions of dollars.
Drop a few of these in the parking lot or cafeteria, and write off a few $800 Dells to find and eliminate the employees who cannot be trained to not do stupid things that will severely damage the company.
Sure, if you set the value of sharing photos of your kids with your friends to zero, and then we compare a one in twenty million risk to zero, then we'll err on the side of caution.
But in the real world, people enjoy seeing what their friends are up to (parents' lives are strongly defined by their kids) as that helps build strong social relationships.
We take them to soccer games too, even though there's a one in two million chance of them being killed in a car wreck on the way. And, OMG, swimming. I'm not on FB anymore but it's not due to fear of perverts, and I posted plenty of kid pics in my time. I don't want my kids to be one in twenty million, but that's why I'm teaching them blended martial arts.
So which ones are well-supported (actually functional and stable) by OpenWRT? The bandwidth will be nice, but dealing with factory firmware isn't worth it.
Great - Apple should put as much money as it pays out in patent settlements into bribing... err, lobbying... politicians to enact comprehensive patent reform to get rid of this kind of economy-crushing activity.
Lessig seems to think that people who have power will give it up willingly. Why, because "it's the right thing to do"? Ha, Lessig, tell us another funny one.
We're not going to get approval voting or any other method that satisifies the Condorcet criteria, because Duverger's Law, simply restated, ensures the power of the current political elite.
Lessig did some reasonable work with Creative Commons (even if CC0 is the only free license, CC is still successful). He should use those talents to try to educate people that the "Two Party" system is a cabal of political oligarchs who fleece the people by convincing them they have a choice when in reality there is only "fork over your money or something bad might happen".
So if our brains are hardwired with receptors for this stuff, maybe it's time to actually look at it and evaluate it for what is is instead of this bullshit moralistic prohibition which is there to keep a bunch of religious assholes happy?
Um, Puritanism is the State Religion in the USA. They offer platitudes about separation of Church and State, but all the evidence points in the other direction.
Puritanism is also considered Satanic by some serious theologists (assuming the premise).
Just get rid of the EPA. They've screwed up the diesel market and VW was hacking around it. The VW engines produce less nox per mile than a gasoline engine, but more per gallon, and the EPA is derp-tastically stuck on gallon which makes no sense to any rational being. Rather than price diesels out of the market, VW did the right thing for the environment and hacked around the EPA. Yeah, they got nabbed, but they didn't do anything wrong ethically, unless you favor regulatory compliance over the environment. As usual, the EPA causes more harm than good.
This isn't empowering women. This is arguing that they are weaker than men far more profoundly than any MRA red piller gamer gater misogynist could ever hope to accomplish.
Oh, I took it as her just being smarter than the average guy on LKML. "Fuck you people, I don't need your toxic ego-masterbating bullshit - I got other things I can do with my life."
More men on LKML could stand to be as self-aware, intolerant of bad behavior, and practice basic goodness.
SCOTUS ruled against Dred Scott, Japanese Americans and all motorists too (/Sitz/). They're still wrong and defending illegal actions. Remember, the People hold the supreme power and give the government limited powers through the Constitution. That government may claim exceptions to those limits, but that's no different than a five-year-old claiming he has no bed time. It's only true if you let him get away with it. Where theory and practice diverge is when the five year old has no problem shooting you in the face to enable his My Little Pony marathon.
Easy, stop buying phones from them and only buy from play.google.com
Has Google added any non-basic phones yet? I only have four requirements and I'd buy pretty much any phone that had them: 1) MicroSD slot (swap cards as needed) 2) removable battery (security) 3) unlocked bootloader (load useful software) 4) will activate on the VZW network (geography)
Everything else about the phones are common enough today that I don't even care. I haven't found a single one so far that passes this basic test. Prove me wrong, Slashmind.
Right, the copier is prevented, with violent force if necessary, from doing what he wants with his *real* property, in sacrifice to the chase of possible profits derived from fictional propery rights.
But we expect judges to contort themselves to uphold laws, not to apply reason and philosophy to matters before them. Just don't look for any justice there and you won't find any surprises.
You never know - the engineers might have been told, "look, these rules are stupid - our diesels put out fewer emissions than gasoline per mile driven and adding this cost will only keep more people on gasoline, so what you're doing here is actually the best thing for the environment." Which seems to be totally true in the real world - it's just that the US regulators are foolish, and made it illegal to operate them. But we have an EPA here that spends effort to pollute rivers, so nobody is actually surprised.
The corporate structure will keep any of the engineers from facing legal consequences, so only if abiding to regulations was their top concern might they have felt it was the wrong move.
Live your life like you don't care what people know. And if you need to keep secrets your opsec better be perfect.
What did you do that this is such a problem? If you've been an asshole maybe you'll reconsider future behaviors. But tell us the grand story about how the forum mods and owners were unjustified.
Huh? Tablets are almost all ARM. This tablet is the aberration. Maybe Intel finally has their power issues worked out.
Who cares what the ISA is if the specs are better? PC x86 also comes with more machine-support for system setup than ARM, which could help speed development, but it's not necessarily true that an x86 tablet is a PC-compatible tablet either.

I'd do it.
better ditch the metric system while you're at it. Nobody needs corrupt mass measurements.

That's the whole reason secure boot and trust chains exist. "Walled-gardens" to some. Lame users want to use computers too.

wait, so the stories about the men who went inside to stop the reactor, facing certain death, were complete fabricated?
The media just took Wrath of Khan and substituted the nouns?
They didn't abandon it - the FBI Director is out there insisting on it every day. Obama could reign him in with one phone call.
This is classic "political cover". Why do people still take politicians at their word? Can no amount of evidence change that?

engineers that should have known better

people that have read way too many Ben Bova novels
Or the news articles that went around last month about the asteroid that just buzzed by with $5 trillion worth of platinum on it.
Clearly no RoI there. Low-orbit docking for such efforts would have no value. :/
the FDA are a bunch of retards, responsible for 25 million American deaths and counting.
When I buy a toaster, I make sure it says 'UL' on the bottom. Insurance is quite sufficient a mechanism.
"Commerce" clause overrules everything.
Either Madison was a fool or Hamilton was a genius.
Or both.
Give us a break - he wasn't on Seal Team 6.

hey, you're not allowed to take responsibility for your own safety in Police State USSA.
Yeah, if you have hardware access to a device you own it. Nothing new to see.
Really? I'd love to bypass the bootloader on MY Verizon-compatible Kitkat GS4. Please post links.
Why are we so slavishly stuck with x86?
Huh? Tablets are almost all ARM. This tablet is the aberration. Maybe Intel finally has their power issues worked out.

Hey, the phone I bought just last month is a 16GB model and it's just fine.
Oh, but I put a 64GB SD card in the slot ...
and put a 7.5 Ah battery on it.
Perhaps mine is a bad example.
