I have to wonder if the kind of school that bans touching hasn't already banned most children's games like Tag. We can't have kids roughhousing on school grounds, they might get hurt!
The old system was broken because people without insurance or a method of payment still got healthcare. If doctors would simply kick people out of the door to die on the street whenever they can't pay, we would have a much lower insurance rates and everybody would have their freedom. Of course your rates would still go up because you would have to pay someone to collect the dead bodies littering the grounds outside of hospitals, but it would still be cheaper overall.
It's all of these weak willed people who won't let the poor suffer and die whenever they get sick that's the problem. They're ruining my glorious libertarian capitalist paradise!
You don't have to buy car insurance. You can simply get rid of your car to avoid it. Of course it will be more difficult to get rid of your body, maybe some day when you can upload your brain to a machine we can be outraged at having to buy medical insurance for a body we no longer have.
Do these banks somehow use a digital signature? Computer recognition of a written signature is still way too unreliable to use it as a primary means of access.
The point is that this plane is going to be flying so high and so fast that an interceptor missile won't be able to get up to speed and altitude before the plane is gone. That's how the SR-71 operated, and it was never shot down by enemy action. The only reason it's feasible to shoot satellites down is that they fly on predictable paths and can't maneuver much. Even a limited maneuver on this aircraft is going to translate into a wildly different location in just a few seconds.
The SR-71 wasn't maneuver limited by the pilot, but by the airframe. The turning radius on the SR-71 was the size of some states!
That said, I wouldn't put too much stock in the artists rendition. That looks an awful lot like the cover of Popular Mechanics, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was made in a similar way (mostly with bullshit).
Unless this attack is a buffer overflow or something when you put in a particularly formatted note, I don't see the issue. "Oh, you can bypass the bill checker if you break the machine open, pull the ROM chips, and put in new ROM chips!"
According to TFA, the guy went and analyzed the firmware to discover how it worked, and then noted that you could bypass the check routines in it to always set the "good" pins high. About the only thing even mildly worrying is that there is apparently no crypto lock on the firmware, but a crypto lock on the firmware would be useless if you have physical access to the machine anyway, only slightly complicating the job of redesigning the internals, so that's not saying much. There's a reason these machines are secured with a lock and a sturdy metal case.
The idea that the law is unconstitutional died with the Supreme Court challenge. It's ultimately their call on the constitutionality of something, and they made it.
I suspect a the reason there is such a huge outrage in the media over the exchanges not working on the first day is that Republicans are terrified that people are going to actually start using them and discovering that they can get better coverage for less money per month now and then it will be game over. They've hitched a lot of wagons to the "repeal Obamacare because everybody hates it" wagon, and that is running headlong at a cliff and not slowing down. I expect most of the major glitches on the website to be ironed out in a month or so.
You are trusting Box.com to implement good security measures, and the fact that they handed over your account to some total stranger doesn't give me a lot of faith. That's why you never put sensitive documents on cloud storage, you just don't know how good the people running the cloud are. Cloud storage is for stuff that you can afford to have stolen or lost.
Because you have been trained by films for your entire life to think that blurry stuttery 24fps is smooth and cinematic. If you ever watch a movie where lots of action is happening on the screen at once, you'll probably get slightly lost because everything turns into an unrecognisable blur. For an example of this, watch any of the Michael Bay transformers movies and try to figure out which Transformer is on the scene during any random action shot.
Unfortunately upgrading to 60fps actually causes people to complain, because the action becomes so smooth that it feels cheap, like it was recorded on a camcorder. Yes this is retarded, but it's the truth.
I guess if you want to pretend that Global Warming doesn't exist then sure, you can burn hydrocarbons until you run out of them from your arctic jungle compound.
Fusion power has been 20 years away for something like 60 years now. It is progress that we're down to only 15 years away. Hopefully by 2053 we'll be down to just 10 years away.
The ironic part is that they probably take faxes because they're considered more secure than email. I mean if you have official looking letterhead, that means you must be legitimate, right?
You know what's ridiculous? Literally 90% of the 15" laptops on Newegg use that crap resolution. And people wonder why Laptop sales have been flagging.

Ah, another satisifed Boost user I see.
1963 poverty rate: roughly 19%. 2013 rate: 15% Hooray. This is actually impressive given the tremendous increase in inequality between 1963 and today.

Calling them out on lies or pushing for followup information is how you lose your White House Press Pass.
A third party? Sure, throw your vote away!

This is only true if you're ignoring CO2, which you really can't ignore anymore.

Keep someone up for 100 hours and they will look like they're strung out on drugs.

GPS is about the only consumer use system that has to deal with not only general relativity, but also special relativity.

In the end even if it is cheap to mine fossil fuels, they're too environmentally irresponsible to continue using in mass quantities going forward.

I thought SELinux was a clever plan to make security so obnoxious that everybody turns it off and leaves their machines vulnerable to attack.
