Could be worse. Parts of NY (Between NYC and Albany) had rail service up to the 60's. When they were shut down, some of the cities tore up the RoW and in some cases deliberately built buildings on it.
Most likely they are not going to build a second set of tracks
Actually, they might. In many states railroads were taxed on the number of tracks they ran through the state. To save money, the railroads tore up all but one of the tracks and replaced them with sidings (which weren't taxed the same). So, on a lot of corridors, there's still room for 3 or 4 tracks, but there's only one there.
Simply put: No. They get your salt and your code, sure... but try to figure out what hashing is and why we use it before uttering such complete nonsense.
Unless it's something like a web application server, in that case they'll just install something to grab unencrypted usernames and passwords as they are input.
When an attacker has root access, all bets are off.
If people don't want to vaccinate, then leave them the fuck alone
Fine, but your kid doesn't get to go to public school or daycare, and no public healthcare either.
First, I don't want to deal with your kid dying, because it's going to seriously fuck up nursery school for my kid. Second, I don't want you infecting any other idiots who didn't get vaccinated and causing a local epidemic. Third, I don't want any secondary diseases your un-vaccinated kid may wind up with while they're dying of something that could have been prevented. Because those might get my kids sick, and fuck you for subjecting someone to that.
House said it best:
You know another really good business? Teeny tiny baby coffins. You can get them in frog green or fire engine red. Really. The antibodies in yummy mummy only protect the kid for six months, which is why these companies think they can gouge you. They think that you'll spend whatever they ask to keep your kid alive. Want to change things? Prove them wrong. A few hundred parents like you decide they'd rather let their kid die than cough up forty bucks for a vaccination, believe me, prices will drop really fast.
DNS is the Achilles Heel of the Internet. If the Internet is going to be controlled, DNS is going to be the most likely way to do it.
A few Senators are not going to stop this trend. It's going to get worse. It's good to see that someone is paying attention, but I don't see anything that can be done to fix the basic flaw with DNS. DNS is controlled by one group that you can't trust.
So, yet again, I'm calling all the smart people out there, lets start talking about replacing DNS once and for all.
Huh? How does a "DNS replacement" fix the fact that US authorities are able to interfere in the operations of US companies? Notice that the Americans screwed with a domain from a US registry, not an international registry. If your "DNS replacement" had an operation in the US that too would be subject to interference by the Americans.
I'm not into software design, but if I was, I would think about a distributed, highly encrypted network design with control that resides in multiple locations so that the removal requires multiple and conflicting countries to be involved in any take-down. Something like US, UK, Russia, China, Japan, Cuba, Israel and Iran. Then require keys from people in 5 of the countries to override a domain owner.
Call me again when the US government manages to mess either with somebody else's registry (e.g. the Finnish.fi or Russian.ru) or with the root. Yeah, it probably seems like they could mess with the root, since the Americans theoretically claim control over it. But try that in practice. Root operators include a lot of serious men with beards who work in military bases and secret government installations around the world. They aren't intimidated by pieces of paper issued by a US court, so if the Americans want to mess with the root they'd best be prepared for a shooting war.
Yeah, the root still belongs to the US, and seriously, I doubt ICANN would ignore a US court order. Not sure if the US would do it though, it would impact trade.
Isn't the point of a temporary restraining order/seizure warrant to stop an action/take something before a full trial has occurred? Under whose laws should a full trial be held? Am I naive in believing that ICANN delegates control of the TLDs?
The problem with the current system it's an instant death penalty when it comes to seizing a domain. It's tough to recover from that, and we should be operating under innocent until proven guilty.
As for whose laws, I've always been a fan of where the server is located, or in the case of cloud computing, where the owner is located.
ICANN delegates to NetSol (and others) for.com and others. ICANN doesn't really register domains directly.
The thing about the US is that we suck when it comes to free speech. We're still better than nearly every other country on Earth when it comes to free speech, but we suck.
Well, in this case Google is bypassing DNS, as people link to the IP address of the site. This is a good thing, it prevents censorship and lets the Internet majority re-establish the site in Google.
I have altered the agreement. Pray I don't change it further.
This kind of horseshit is blatantly anti-consumer. How can this be in any way legal? Oh, wait, legislative entrainment by big business, never mind.
In the US, most courts frown upon contracts like this. They'll most likely vacate it if you fought, however, you're going to spend over your $200 ETF in court costs.
...and that's when it started to go horribly wrong - when you started to think you were better than others.
No, that's when we founded the country.
To form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
So, it's a start, and it's one step above most of the world.

Seriously, get a job or a hobby or something.

Anyone?
Personally, my response would be to write a psychoanalysis of Kevin Lacy.
It's still DNS, which can be spoofed and hijacked easily.
Which means it's exactly the same thing, only with a different company running it.
Well, at least NASA TV works in Chrome now.
That's a plus, if I ever remember to watch it.

Good, because that would be very difficult to manage, what with the root oscillating between two servers.
Oh, did you mean ALTERNATIVE? Note that the words are not synonyms.

So, duplicating files is the same as forced data

Seriously, that's your argument?
You're comparing copying a book, vs burning it.
Yeah, let's put Australia in charge!

Again, it's past time for a DNS replacement.
Not an alternate DNS root, an actual replacement that maps some kind of human readable names to an IP address.
ICANN and Network Solutions have proven that they are happy to hand over domains without a full trial, it's time to replace them.
You're assuming you actually know what Bing's approach is.
For all we know the results could be highly weighted, and I'm betting they are.
You sound like you think SQL injection attacks have something to do with database platforms and not poorly written application code.
Who uses MSSQL?!?
The same groups that use Oracle and Sybase. People who care about database performance and support.
I had a mental picture of healthy potato chips. I should have had breakfast.
Stop being inept.
Set some rules, tell the kid to stop and then set some QoS rules on your network.
can't we just blame him?
It depends, he seems to be completely nuts, but I'm not a doctor.
If he is insane, then no, you really can't blame him. It's like giving a gun to a chimp and blaming the chimp for shooting someone with it.
