$5000/gallon refill bottles, inkjet cartridge style. While a neat idea - how do they propose to co-ordinate the speed of diffusion of the smells through the room - with fans or something? Or will it become mandatory to sit exactly X distance from your TV in order for the system to work? The device should go in the remote control you keep next to your chair/couch/bed, not behind the television on the other side of the room.
Also this has the potential to backfire tremendously. While we humans are not anywhere near as dependent on our sense of smell as other creatures, smell has played a fundamental part in evolution and is wired into a very primitive part of our brains. The reaction to smell is subjective, and smells deemed unpleasant or linked to unpleasant memories will quickly lead to people ripping these devices out and throwing them away. If you think you have trouble with epileptics and certain cartoons, wait till you have people throwing up or flying into rage fits because of smells.
The tornado metaphorically represents the anarchists. Both of which are out of control. Both of which are unexpected. Both of which do very limited damage to our analogous "town" but devastate the small areas where they strike. And neither of which are hired or paid for by our metaphorical glass-maker. But you know, I guess analogies aren't very good when you have to explain them in such detail. My bad, I suppose./needs moar carz
Insecure websites are not "perfectly functional things". In fact, an insecure website is "cheaper" up front in the same manner that dumping raw sewage into a river is "cheaper". There are hidden costs involved. In the sewage case it will be the dead ecosystem in the river, and in the IT case it will be the costs incurred when the website eventually gets hacked and confidential information is made public.
And no, the fallacy isn't specific to a person, it's about the argument that the glass-maker paying the kid to break windows is actually helping people, when he's not. However an IT person commenting that an independent event like a group of anarchists who go around breaking into websites for fun is going to end up increasing security overall is not the broken window fallacy. If anything it's the glass-maker saying "oh by the way you guys know I also sell unbreakable glass, right?".
This is a great remainder for all users not use the same password for two different services.
And how is this going to result in a hacked website? Breaking into a user account should not give you administrator privileges. No, this is a great reminder to secure your fucking website against SQL injection, once again. Never trust your users just because they are "logged in". Now of course if the administrator of the website was using the same login/password as his gmail account or something then yes, he should be shot.
What is it with Americans, Chinese, and the fucking Dalai Lama. It's like you only have room for a single thing in your heads. Get the fuck over it, Tibet was 50 years ago. Otherwise you have a shitload of occupied land you should be giving back to Mexico, not to mention a few other countries having "the shit freed out of them" by American occupation at present. To the victor the spoils, and it ends there. Otherwise you turn into a fucking arab and 1000 years from now you're still arguing about shit that is no longer relevant.
Except that this isn't the broken window fallacy. IT people aren't paying lulzsec to go around poking holes in people's security in order to increase IT jobs. It's more the "tornado that ripped through town and is now proving good for the construction industry" scenario. Stop repeating what you think you know like a parrot, and sit and think for a while.
If you Americans are not oppressed, then your smoking something good ( and you really should learn to share! ).
I'll say it again: I've never heard the words "you can't" more often than in the US. Oh and remember to STAND BEHIND THE YELLOW LINE, SIR. I SAID BEHIND THE YELLOW LINE...
Er, the hosting company told them exactly where the data they were looking for was, but they still chose to take the entire racks. tl;dr - read the fucking article.
They need to take their games and add a virtual clothes rack and clothing store, where you can buy boots and other little items for your avatars. That way an additional challenge is presented: "Hmmm, should I spend this billion ISK on a Carrier class starship, or should I spend it on a silly looking monacle for my avatar?". The women, of course, will choose the clothing. And the men will choose the big pew pew ships. And so the game will be much less frustrating for women because they will still get pwned, but at least they will die stylishly.

Yeah, 200 ounces in 40 years means 5 ounces of gold per year, at say $1500 an ounce (not exactly true because troy ounce > normal ounce) = 5 * 1500 = $7,500 a year. Yeah I think I just found my new full time job. Not.

Because the US government has nothing better to do - watch, I bet they are going to make a bad system even worse.
50 cents? I remember when they cost a dime! Get off my lawn!
Go here.
Great, here, have your 15lb set of eye-glasses. Remember if your partner wants a pair they're only $999 each :)

Thank you for making my point for me. What used to be Tibet belongs to China, whether you like it or not.

Hey at least they're not shooting random brazilians in the head on the tube now. Yet.

What, you clicked on it despite the fact that it says "[goatse.fr]" right there next to the link?

If you've been around the Horn in a 30' sloop, you can call it whatever the fuck you want.
I'm sure they already have.
Add web interfaces to the cameras and lasers and people would PAY to patrol the borders.
The ultimate spawn camping game...
Imagine an airborne laser that can shoot stuff on rooftops from 2 miles away. Oh dear, Baghdad gets bombed again.
Yes, just imagine what the premiums would be in your ideal world if everyone did this.
How about hiring someone who actually has some idea about security. THAT is supporting stockholders.

Not needing a car is not equivalent to not needing to travel.What, the buses and subway are free in NY now?
