YES! Been saying for years that our recycling has been the cause of global warming! Leave all that paper waste in the landfill, its carbon sequestration! Don't recycle it.
The data on the chip is a signed certificate; but its not encrypted. So if you can do a bit for bit copy of the data to a new chip, viola the card is cloned and useable.
IF the data was encrypted and required a pin to unlock, THEN you would have a little security because even if you clone the data, you don't have the key to unlock it to allow the transaction. HOWEVER the spec doesn't allow for that, the spec is basically half of Private Key cryptography.
Here let me show you some nice video from Boston. Welcome to the current police state, where they do kick every door down, and they are doing mass surveillance, and they do lie to justify it.
They are in fact claiming that, its just that the lie. They claim terrorism is different therefore give them what they want, when they get what they want they claim its just crime and their new powers are constitutional when they aren't. You start arguing that its unconstitutional and shouldn't be used as a tool against crime, and back to "But Terrorists!" implying the difference. The logical fallacy isn't yours, its the governments.
I wish I had mod points on the above. The other thing to ask is have Monsanto and Eli Lilly and the like already done this and their disease is obesity and diabetes?
On the one hand, they are right... If you can be allowed to search without a warrant for terrorists then why not other criminals?
This is an equivocation fallacy. The arguement to do this for terrorism is because its not a crime, but an act of war, the terrorists aren't merely criminals, but foreign combatants. When its time to treat them as combatants, even if illegal combatants(i.e. violating the laws of war like the Geneva conventions) then the governemtn says it is just crime. Oh and since its just a crime we can use this for other things....
Well, and this is an important point: they do not emit more pollution than allowed during testing procedures. They emit more pollution than allowed in the wild. The implication is obvious.
Here is the interesting part; the regulations list the requirement for emissions during testing, not during operation. Normally the variations for normal operations are secretly negotiated with EPA and California's CARB. These changes allegedly weren't disclosed in those negotiations.
What I find interesting is why the nonprofit decided it wanted two VW's tested and why they picked a BMW as their control.
Lutz has also said that the best designers at car companies are their greatest asset, and should be their highest paid employees. Good car design is what makes profits for companies. Apple had great work with design under Jobs; so there is at least even odds they can get it right, at least enough. Really no one understands the car industry better than Lutz right now. Maybe Apple should listen to what he says and address those issues he brings up? Of course they could do that and we might never know.
The real problem is that Air Force Procurements are so broken they can't afford to replace any system for less than a trillion dollars.
Right now the Air Force needs to replace:
A10->?
C5->? (C17 replaced C141)
Minuteman3->?
OH-1 Huey ->?
EF111->?(oh lets outsource that to the navy and borrow their EF-18's)
Then there are the ones they are replaceing and having debacles:
F15->F22(which was canceled because cost to much, and is causing pilots to get sick)
F16,F18,AV8b-> F-35
KC-135-> competition for the KC-46 went into multiple lawsuits and an $800million charge for Boeing, Now theyre working a new KC-X procurement because of problems with the KC-46
The procurement issues with the Tucano and AT-6 are small beans in the grand scheme of things.
Honestly they'd like to give the close support role to the Army, but they don't want to give up the budget that entails, and they don't want to allow the army to fly fixed wing. On the other hand they're about to lose one leg of the nuclear triad because they won't have a replacement for their ICBM's when they end of life in a couple years; and they know its coming and aren't able to deal with it. I guess I should put a link to the self licking ice cream cone here but meh; you can google it.
The reason this is being killed is its from Embraer; and Embraer has no issue with selling to everyone, including potential adversaries. Congress wants them to use the T6 Texan II based system which is local(USA and Switserland instead of purely Brazil).
Besides all that all the A-29 Super Tucano's that the Air Force was going to buy were to be given to the Afgani air force.
They don't have to harness all of one star; if they're harnessing enough of a lot of stars they can get to a Type II.
And we are a Type 0.76 on Sagan's log scale.
It may be a very influential Graphical User Interface, but not so much on the Operating System side. The only way its influential on that side is further conflating a GUI and an OS in the public's mind.
Its the EMP Commision report. Go read it if you want to know. Its an interesting report. The only cars that were disabled were the ones running. It doesn't specifically say why but its a good guess that the added EMP plus the running current in the ignition fried ignition coils. Replace coil and good to go. br? The other thing to keep in mind is that a Carrington level solar event will be thousands of orders of magnitude more powerful and more energetic than all the nuclear bombs on the planet combined. That should be the real worry; people really are insignificant compared to nature.
Safes can be opened... with a warrant. Mail can be opened... with a warrant. Vehicles can be searched... with a warrant. There's no reason to make smartphones that can't be searched... with a warrant. I'm starting to get on board that Cortana should be accessible to law enforcement if needed to solve crimes. This is getting ridiculous, when there is evidence that could solve multiple murders and they have it so locked down that even LEO cannot get at it. That type of encryption is for the government, not for joe six-pack.
They are welcome to brute force the phone just like they do the safe or the mail. The owner of a safe isn't required to open it just because there is a warrant. These are also police who believe they have an expectation of privacy while doing their official duty but you don't have expectation of privacy on your phones contents? They're lucky we allow them to attempt to decrypt the things on their own and don't remove that power from them as well.
Ah, but why is so much being spent to get a specific person elected? There must be some massive return on investment for that. There is the rub! If you want to get the money out of politics, you must get the money out of government. The real issue is that paying for lobbying or for candidates has such a large return on investment that it beats stocks or bonds. You remove that ROI and people will stop spending such massive amounts of money on elections. But it won't happen before that.
Right now there are large urban areas that have enough people to vote to favor them over the rest of the populations in their state. Chicago does this to IL and NYC does this to to NYS. Until you get back to a republican form of government for the states, which is required by our constitution, these people that live over large areas of the country are being held hostage to the policies of the large cities. Take a look at a vote map by county some time. Sectionalism is going to cause a Civil War in this country if we continue on this path. Giving more power to democracy will just further strengthen the large urban populations to control policy over those who are more diffuse in the states and the federal government. It is no the answer to the problem, it is the problem. Some kind of splitting up needs to happen, while it can happen peacefully, instead of further entrenching the status quo.
Look here is a map showing voting by counties Why should the Dense Urban areas control the Rural areas policies? Its going to be ugly if we have 3 wolves and 2 sheep voting on whats for dinner, or rather Urban Density voting for policies that favor them at the expense of the Rural areas.
I expect the end is near for slashdot. Its been a nice run, but all things must come to an end. Either it doesn't get sold and shutdown or it gets sold to someone who used the domain names for something else, but slashdot is now in hospice.
In reality; anarchist was the name given to communists in the 19th century. The difficult to tell difference is because they were both espousing the same thing; Carl Marx's utopia. The early communists, and indeed Marx wrote that when the proletariat took over there would be no more need for government because government was the Oligarchy and Bourgeoisie keeping the Proletariat down.
It also goes even further back than Marx. The French Revolution espoused a communist ideology as well, although the term hadn't been invented yet, same ideals.

Are you suggesting that the way children eat in school in France is what causes them to take month long vacations?
YES! Been saying for years that our recycling has been the cause of global warming! Leave all that paper waste in the landfill, its carbon sequestration! Don't recycle it.
Your in Europe, Aren't you? The spec the American card companies are using is SDA.

The Underhanded C Contest would be a better place for this. And actually; I would enjoy seeing that contest.

Well at least they didn't use human brains. Although I expect I should add Yet to the statement....
Really! What could possibly go wrong?
