So called 'big cable' only has a future as internet providers. Broadcast media, the already anachronistic channel paradigm, and tiered services are all as doomed as Blockbuster.
Depends on the physical layout of what you are up to, but directional antennas on the mobile equipment and a 2.4ghz absorbing backdrop behind your stuff might work. Think old Pringles can style directional and a grounded copper mesh covered in cloth for the backdrop.
I can't wait for fast food to be run by robots. Maybe that way, when I go through the drive-through, I will *get what I fucking order*.
With a value card, or facial recognition, the restaurants could even remember me and the way I like my food. One click, the perfect burger, just the way I like it.
This problem can be solved with escort ships. Provide armed escort through pirate infested waters, and don't dock armed ships at ports that disallow armament. While you are at it, the escort ships can also keep the illegal fishing vessels out of their waters as well.
When they say indestructible, they mean it's more difficult to steal control of the botnet, like they have done with several other hostile networked threats, not that it can't be detected and removed.
To detect it, run the latest version of GMER. http://www.gmer.net/
To remove it, you need to run a series of three scanners in this order: TDSSkiller http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/solutions?qid=208280684
and Malwarebytes' Antimalware http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?tag=mncol;1
Note that TDL4 is often a blended threat, and has other secondary infections that can cause issues. One of the most common does search redirection that can make it hard to get to the tools to remove it. Most versions of that you can work around by clicking on the Google cache of the site with the tool instead of the link itself.
As for who to blame, most of the infections installed on people's machines were abusing exploits in Adobe Flash. Keeping up to date helps, but I started installing Flashblock on my client's systems because I was convinced there were unknown Flash exploits.
Jon Stewart said it pretty well in his speech at the 'Rally to Restore Sanity' in Washington.
Here is a full transcript of the speech, it's worth checking out. http://www.examiner.com/celebrity-in-national/rally-to-restore-sanity-jon-stewart-s-closing-speech-full-text
Until the security industry switches from blacklisting to whitelisting, the malware industry will thrive.
We need a centrally managed service people subscribe to that will automatically adds programs from known legitimate vendors and their updates so that the whitelist only blocks unusual executables.
I'm not convinced at all this type of service needs government regulation. Data recovery and destruction policies should be part of the contract with the company, and existing contract law can deal with any problems. If you chose a service that didn't have good recovery and destruction policies, that is a poor choice on your part.
When 3D printers become cheap and reliable, and I just print out the goods I need, what tax do I pay now?
Government, production, and copyright are headed for a serious collision in the next 10 years. Any solution to internet commerce, patent, or copyright needs to take this into account.
The natural place for information is in the public domain. We grant a temporary monopoly for creators to encourage them to create. The current continuously extended copyright system has badly broken this, and damages everyone.
As for the state of Slashdot, that is the nature of popularity. Shrug.
It can take a lot of shenanigans to get i76 running right, but the fans have put together a zip file with the appropriate tools and a launcher to help.

Yes, because BASIC was the most important feature on all of those machines. You can tell because so much of the important software on those machines was written in BASIC, and BASIC is now an integral part of the machines we use to this day. [/sarcasm]

And shooting the boomer early is a good idea, so you can see the hunters and smokers when they try and grab your teammates.
He also said this when Clinton was still in office.

That will make the MBR clean on the next boot, but it will reinfect the MBR once Windows loads as well.

Enable competition and break the local monopolies of the cable companies. Expand this to include cable providers!
I'd love to take a quick spin through the images he gets send over the next few weeks.

I don't want disks. I have a wire in my house that gives me thirty million bits a second, why would I want my bits on anything else?
So the government gets a report on everything I print? Don't think that is going to fly.

More than any other first generation story, IV is character driven.
