There was also RBBS-PC, adapted for the IBM-PC by the members of the Capital PC User Group.
Back then we signed onto our favorite BBSes using PC-TALK, the first app marketed as Shareware, it was open source (IBM-PC BASIC) and Andy Fluegelman, the guy who released it, made tons of money before being diagnosed with cancer and disappearing near the top of the Golden Gate Bridge.
It was horrendously named (it was thought that Digital Research's DR Draw was its competition), and even more horrendously marketed, but this 1984 PC-DOS app was the first color paint app for the IBM-PC, it even predated any color paint app for Macs.
I remember what flying was like before 1973, sonny boy. Airport security? There wasn't any. You walked from the ticket counter to the gate uninterrupted. Your relatives and friends could greet you or see you off at the gate. From 1937 to 1973 nobody had a problem. That's how it should be again.
Like buying presents for children, there's really no way of knowing whether the DoD will in the future be able to make use of whatever they stash away, or whether it will still be edible, nonobsolete, or even free of rust and bilgewater.
So along with the Great Northern beans and networking nodes with 10,000-day vulnerabilities, let's add some historical memorabilia. Copies of current Navy regulations and 12 year old scotch for example.
Another possibility is that DARPA could plant stuff designed to be found by the enemy. Trick black soap. Bogus ciphers that will cause the enemy to spend years or decades fruitlessly attempting to decode. Bogus mine-defusing instructions that will make them go boom.
Prenda Law (aka Steele Hansmeier aka Anti-Piracy Law Group) is not really a law firm as such, but a sophisticated scam. For those of you who came in late, here's how it works: Prenda's stooges, who are ostensibly copyright holders, upload a porno clip to BitTorrent. They they record the IP addresses of everyone who downloads the torrent. Then Prenda Law sues all the IP address holders as John Does in a federal copyright lawsuit, for example Hard Drive Productions vs. John Does 1 through 1495. They aren't really interested in suing, just in issuing subpoenas to ISPs to get the names and addresses of the downloaders. They then send demand letters requesting thousands of dollars. People pay up, because the amount is just below what it would cost to hire a lawyer, because the porno downloaders are afraid their wives will find out, and because they are afraid of being on the receiving end of massive Jammie Thomas -type civil judgments.
For the last couple of years, Prenda and its associates have made millions of dollars this way, as federal judges from coast to coast have (up to now) rubberstamped their extortionate business model.
Recently, however, the greed, stupidity, incompetence and unethical conduct of Prenda has finally caught up to it.
You've gotta read the transcript from November 27, 2012 in Sunlust Pictures v. Nguyen. It is the funniest federal court hearing transcript, ever, as federal judge Mary S. Scriven puts one participant after another under oath... it is as funny as an Abbott and Costello routine....
Walmart outcompetes many supermarkets in many areas of the U.S., particularly in those areas where many supermarkets are unionized. They are not at all competitive with certain supermarket chains in the western city where I live, either on price or on the quality of their meat / dairy / produce, and I wouldn't describe them as having monopoly power (the power to fix prices) here.
There's not enough information in the OP's question. Is this a home or business environment? What do you want to protect? What do you perceive as the most likely threats? As to your questions about snoopy corporations and government agencies, do you have a particularized reason to be paranoid about such things, or are you merely a concerned citizen? I would start with NIST Special Publication 800-14, Generally Accepted Principles and Practices for Securing Information Technology Systems. You could also watch "Privacy Is Dead, Get Over It."
My driverless car will have a wet bar and icemaker, optional extras purchased from the manufacturer, so the other passengers and I will have the option of imbibing while enroute to our destination.
And in that day, the highway patrol will all get pink slips, and I don't mean the kind you race for.
Sensationalized? Yes. Inaccurate? No (except that ESPN isn't itself editing the video, they're just providing training and expertise). Unfair? No.
Used to be, it took a Joseph Heller to satirize modern aerial warfare and to imbue it with black comedy. To compare war with sportscasting may be disrespectful both to the drone pilots and to those targeted, but USAF invited the comparison by contacting ESPN in the first place.
Actually the classified name is PUPPY (Portable Utility Pack, Personnel, Y-Model). Essentially a dog wearing a Heinlein suit, PUPPY will be able to fetch grenades and chase tanks while simultaneously sniffing out the enemy's rear flank.
You could never get 200 people to sit in airline seats for several hours, unless they were flying somewhere. This would violate the Geneva Convention Against Torture.
The little bastards already spend too much time hunched over keyboards and phones as it is. Get them outside. They'll have their whole lives to spend in cubes.
I live in Las Vegas and they have seemingly limitless supplies of Alaska king crab at the buffet for a reasonable price. How come, given this alleged overabundance of Maine lobster, it's not the same for lobster?? I want my $15 all-you-can-eat lobster buffet!!
An intelligent, robotic transportation service would realize its implementation has thrown 250,000 human truck drivers out of work, and would abend or otherwise disable itself.
Unless you are a U.S. Government employee using a Skilcraft U.S. Government Pen for official purposes, or you are otherwise authorized to possess or use one, for example while transacting business at the counter of a post office, you are violating 18 USC Â 641, a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 and/or one year's imprisonment.
...of security clearances and credit checks and background checks and peeing in cups, although that's a big part of it (official DoD policy is that any marijuana use is a "serious mental disorder.")
The other aspect is that they don't really want their security fixed. They don't want to be told that "TBD" on a security plan isn't acceptable.
The pros at the National Hurricane Center disagree with your analysis:
Winds as high as hurricane-force are expected to lash exposed areas of the Northeast/mid-Atlantic states (the coast and topography)...leading to potentially serious coastal erosion and coastal flooding. The timing of the full moon and the build-up of tides over multiple tidal cycles should exacerbate the situation along the coast...particularly in corners such as the New York bight.

1. Release code with no license (i.e. it is copyrighted by default).
2. Wait for someone to copy it.
3. Hire copyright troll attorney.
4. Profit!!

A popular commercial BBS app was Wayne Bell's , which was expanded circa 1988 into a network of WWIV BBSes known as WWIVNet.
It was horrendously named (it was thought that Digital Research's DR Draw was its competition), and even more horrendously marketed, but this 1984 PC-DOS app was the first color paint app for the IBM-PC, it even predated any color paint app for Macs.
I wasn't having an illegal campfire on the beach. It was the sand reacting with the seawater.

Maybe you wouldn't have to figure out which way to plug in the goddamn USB connector.

The Las Vegas casinos already have indicator cubes.
When the dice repeatedly come up craps, this is a signal that you've gambled too much.

They have time to debate and pass secret warrantless wiretapping, but not to keep the price of milk from going up to $7.

If you want to order lobster in a restaurant they will still charge "Market Price."
