No. We're an narco-syndicous commune. We take it in turn, to act as sort of an officer for the week-- but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority, in the case of purely internal affairs or by a two-thirds majority, in the case of--
According to the CIA's World Fact Book, the United States Life Expectancy at birth is number 43 in the world. Above the United States in that list are Bermuda, Anguilla, Turks And Caicos Islands and the Cayman Islands, all of which have a larger proportion of their population listed as Black than the United States. Maybe you need to find another excuse for the "superior health care in the USA" failing so many of its people...
No, no, no, Mal DOES come over and sit in your garage (well, technically a hangar) and drink your beer. You see, they actually, they got the name of THIS code wrong. This is not Fruitfly, it's actually Firefly and that's why it's Malware...
Absolutely. And in this case specifically I would think that a security researcher is the equivalent of a journalist - as long as he himself did not break the law he is free to publish whatever has been freely given to him. For example, see the Pentagon Papers. If someone gave this info to Chris Vickery and all he did was confirm the authenticity of it then he was merely performing due diligence.
But think about bricking a device. If someone's IP phone accesses the internet via some cheap crappy router and they need to call 911, do we blame the person that bricked the device for the failed call? The main problem I have with vigilante security fixes is the cascade of consequences that follow from the good intentions. Most of those consequences won't affect the vendors that sold the crappy router in the first place, just the poor slobs that tried to save a few bucks on a router. In theory vigilante bricking sounds great but in reality it can be a much different story.
One man's vigilante is another man's outlaw. The problem with a vigilante is that they start out on the same side of the law as those they want to punish.
The definition of vigilante would seem to depend more on your perspective than any established facts, and that to me is the whole problem with being a vigilante. Remember the guy that showed up at Planet Pizza, independently investigating Pizzagate?
Vigilantism arises whenever law enforcement drops the ball. People are generally lazy and wouldn't go out of their way to do that "job" if it was already done.
I am really curious about this - if I place a satellite dish in California and one in New York, do I know have a receiver as large as the Untied States?
Linking together observatories spread across such a huge area...
It is a symptom of humanity's hubris to believe that an area the size of Earth is considered huge when measuring the massive black hole that sits at the center of our galaxy.
They are landing this drone twelve miles off shore. Pretty sure that's to avoid pesky government regulation at the 12 mile limit but that means they have to off-load at sea, load it into boats, take it to harbor, go through customs and then ship the milk from the nearest port to the final destination. How is that going to work out for Beijing? Or Chicago? Most of delivery is about the final mile. Landing these things at sea just adds more distance and complication to that.
Take a look at these pictures of polio survivors. See the "rare" complications of surviving that disease? And who does pay for the treatment that those complications demand? Can you afford a lifetime of care for your child should they get paralysis from polio or brain damage from measles? How much cheaper (and safer) is a vaccine compared to that?
Nothing, even just stepping out your front door, is ever completely safe. We live in a dangerous world. Demanding that vaccines be 100 percent effective and 100 percent safe is an impossibility. That is why vaccine makers are shielded from liability through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, so that those that do have adverse reactions can be compensated and those that make the vaccines don't face financial ruin.
Finally, every time I hear someone say "Follow the money" in regards to vaccination I feel compelled to point out that if all that motivated a corporation was profit, they would profit more selling sixty years worth of treatment and care for all those polio victims rather than just provide two simple shots.
I don't see what kind of service exists currently at McDonald's, or any fast food restaurant.
Within two miles south or east of me are two McDonald's, each run by different franchisees. The one east of me is terrible, usually messy looking, slow to complete orders (and you better double-check that they got it right) and one where - on more than one occasion - I have witnessed intense arguments between employees held right in front of customers.
The other one is almost always clean, quick and courteous. The employees go out of the way to be helpful. While I hesitate to call eating at McDonald's enjoyable at least at that McDonald's I feel they do care about making my visit pleasant.
There are levels of service in fast food restaurants, even within the same chain. And while I would not mind seeing kiosks replace employees in at least one location I do feel that the other would lose something without its employees.
I think we've got plenty of porn to share with them right now (and don't you just wonder where they got those tiny cigarettes they light up afterwards?)

It comes from the millions of people each year who file their taxes and the IRS comes back and asks for W2s from jobs they never knew they had.
Citation please?
I guess you have not filled a W4 either.
Of course he hasn't. In Russia, it's a Ve4
At least it's a longer and less obnoxious cycle than the bi-weekly coffee/chocolate good/bad flip-flopping...

What an appropriate user name, although I'm sure there's a double-digit user named Methuselah around here somewhere.
I don't want google spyware pre-installed.
So you might go for Microsoft's instead? The Surface Pro 4 is in a similar price range.

Get your units of measurement correct - this is like spotting a tater tot in orbit around a Volkswagen Bug 1000 miles away.
