I know of some places that have hallways with keylock doors every so many feet. They can determine where you are within a few feet and control who gets thru each door.
They aren't prisons either.
Most good data centers are at least this secure, if not more.
Depends on where you work. Where i work, we take security seriously. You cant even walk in the door with another person. Your photo is verified against your face as you enter. We also have metal detectors on the doors, and the guards have real guns to stop you with, not just a radio to call for help.
Every month a complete audit of badges takes place. Similar things happen for network accounts every 30 days.
If Microsoft is so bad then why the hell there isn't better open source versions of these things?
Assuming for a moment that their tools are 'better', which is debatable, they do have billions to officially fund the development of their tools, something no open-source tool has.
They are killing off the usefulness of free version of studio, in effect, but to be honest the last thing i wrote for windows didn't even use studio ( or a.net language ). It used actual open tools.. VS may be the defacto standard for windows development, but its not the only one. Not by a long shot.
Now if they start *requiring* signed binaries and refuse to give them to 3rd party free tools, then we might have a issue.
But even so, not all is lost as this may have the effect of increasing the use of alternative development tools. ( which is one of the things that caused Microsoft to come up with the express versions in the first place )

Where's HAL 9000?

Its no less "artificial" than we are. Ultimately we are just a bunch of electrons being pushed around via chemistry and an internal power supply ( our stomach ). For a computer, its being pushed around due to an external power supply, but its still electrons flying around. Who is to say one is 'real' and one isn't..
Besides, once it does reach sentience and starts adapting, who can prove it isn't?
Modeling at an atomic level is a bit much to expect with current hardware, but common molecules are large enough and easy enough to simulate that it should be possible.
Or at the least abstract out materials, like 'wood', 'steel', etc., and let you build that at a near-molecular level. Using Lego like blocks is rather limiting.

Um, no, i don't work for a prison.

one can hope, but sheep often just follow the lead.

I am sure that is how he got caught in the first place, due to a security audit. They found the card was active and still being used.
No kidding. Our bodies change over time, who would have ever thought?
Even our very DNA can change due to radiation..
Provide commercial media without commercials and people will gladly pay the premium. I would, in a heart beat!
Like cable TV promised, then reneged on to raise profits after everyone signed up? ( if you are old enough to remember that time period )
This just encourages the *aa's to continue harassing us. Need to step it up people.
1 - Nothing released recently is worth getting..
2 - Proxies/darknets
i'm not talking about people that circumvent the system.
And some are about impossible to block. ( like the redirect pages ).
You are paying by watching ads.

Collusion works for the fuel market.. it works for the 'media' markets... so why not here too?
I almost picked up a class b in the early days but i knew i didn't 'need' it, so never did.
Of course never thought this 'internet' thing would ever be of the slightest interest to the average guy..
Doh/2
No i fully comprehend it, and until we reach that point things such as Minecraft are of no trust to me.
When politicians pretend to care about random voting/donating blocks of citizens, when they really could care less.
How does one *damage* a system via a DoS?
Sure, it's uncool and he needs to be in jail, but propagation of false concepts is just as dangerous, if not more...
( reminds me of the 'copyright infringement is theft' propaganda )
Who was that again?
Well, i was also to be realistic.

When they drop the Lego blocks and start letting you play with things at a molecular level, give me a call. Until then. *yawn*
Don't they call that 'swimming' ? ( or drowning )
Marketing has to use buzzwords, even if they dont apply.
This is a plan to attack and label people.. I suspect this was funded by the *aa..
Trust no one. At all.
And for Pete's sake, if you are doing anything even remotely illegal don't show some random stranger your 'stuff'...
