Governments have already proven themselves to be untrustworthy with the current level of tech. Why should we believe they wouldn't pry further into our homes than they do? Could it be because my life is uninteresting to them? The level of them gobbling up citizen data says otherwise.
It's a webcam you pay $100 connect it to your computer and you can video chat with friends and family.
Years later average Joe is astounded his webcam was hacked from poor vendor security practices, and or because they didn't understand enough about securing the technology themselves.
This is the danger.
Phone controlled thermostat (read web UI), thermostat gets hacked after I leave for work, it's a whopping -20 degrees in Yellow Knife, my kid gets home to find the family dog frozen to death.
Elderly person goes to bed, hacker takes control of thermostat elderly person found dead frozen, or dead from heat stroke.
Actually they don't, I haven't purchased a Sony console since PS2. After that I swore never to purchase another gaming console due to them releasing a new one every 2 to 3 years.
I was supposed to get bifocals my optometrist looked at me like I was growing horns and a tail when I told him to write me a prescription for reading and a prescription for everything else.
I can see that, I purchased all the live recordings of Rik Mayall and Ade Edmonsons 2 man show performances. It's not just stand up comedy they toured 4 or 5 times with a different theme based on a tv sitcom they once did called Bottom. What I would have given to see a live performance vs a recording of it. The tv show was funny enough but those times they either forgot a line or ad-lib'd something or played off the audience were just priceless.
Instead of people waking up and lobbying their CongressCritters to put an end to it even threatening to remove them from office for inaction, oh look Honey Boo Boo.
1. Lobby for internet standards to change and remove the ability from any governments to encroach on it.
2. Overthrow the government and replace it with a better functioning governing body.
3. Elect officials who want smaller government and aren't corruptible.
4. Use snail mail.
So now they've opened the door to a new idea, reapplication of Geigers, here's the pitch, are you and your other crime bosses planning something huge and you're worried about leo's using Doppler to break up your plans, buy my LEO-way Geiger counters and know when law enforcement targets your group.
If the delivery system is now hypersonic why attach a nuclear warhead to it? Why not use kinetic energy to destroy the target? Mach 5 - 25 an object hitting a target has to have immense force.
Instead of waiting 100 or more years for radiation to dissipate the area can be re-inhabited immediately.
I think it's the diet. My wife and I were on a Korean cooking kick not too long ago, I really miss it and during the 6 months to a year we were cooking like that I felt great and actually began losing weight. We've since stopped, not sure why, and I feel crap again.
Korean and Thai are among my favorite Asian food types, with Japanese and Chinese bringing up the rear.
In fact it's winter and I want nothing more than a hot bowl of ddubaki.
Slashdot Mirror
Big difference between 838 signatures and over 61k signatures. I thought anything over 50k they had to do something.
I'm not 12, I don't give any fucks about Minecraft!
It's just meaningless metadata.
I think it was on this very site the other day users were saying that the Nest devices were perfectly safe and to go put my tin foil hat back on.
Now the Chair of the USFTC comes out and says privacy is a concern with these devices, interesting.
If I use my cell phone in my home and the Stingray is close enough then it infringes my expectation of privacy in my own home.

I can also see how valuable this could be to thieves that would probably pay some hacker for that data.
Lazy asses that can't be fucked to get their ass off the couch to set their thermostat.
Just like the pricks back in the day, "I'm calling you from my carphone"
"I can set my thermostat without getting up".
How about said hacker say turning your heater full blast during the middle of summer or turning your ac on in the middle of winter.

Something about lasers and eyes just isn't right!
For me I'll stick to glasses even if it's a 1 in a gajillion chance, with my luck "have a seat Mr Gajillion let's get your procedure started".

When considering climate change you have to consider periods longer than what in terms of our lifespan would be a sneeze.
If we ever get bulletproof failproof rocket launches what's wrong with sending the shit one way to the sun?

MPAA will say it's piracy truth is perhaps Hollywood churning out mediocre remakes and CGI filled crap.
Snowden did and look where it got him.

I was thinking this was more for pre-swat entry, to know the exact number of occupants you are clearing.

Ah so you only post as AC in winter!
