Tape requires to be stored correctly. If not you can often get away with tricks like baking, but it is still not a perfect format. Ultimately, and I hate to use the word, some sort of robust cloud based archive will in the long run prove most satisfactory.
It doesn't work like that. But we do know the NSA has people in place inside every major Western telecoms/data firm. Now think for a second about the capabilities that could be inserted by someone smart enough to be hired by NSA *and* Google.
Because sandwiching encryption or repeating it simply leaves you open to other, more subtle attacks. Often the effect is to amplify theoretical or marginally practical attacks on the algorithm.
There was some discussion on this on Schneier's blog re the NA decryption story. Halfway down the (very erudite) thread this is discussed. The originally leaked PDF is an April's Fool joke but it was based on a real one, now missing. Some further discussion ensued on the security of Truecrypt, sufficiently interesting to make me doubt it.
Automatic transmissions are now sufficiently robust and well controlled that they are no longer less robust than a manual. Indeed, because there's no driver to hammer the clutch, they usually last longer. The price differential is also pretty non-existent as well due to their widespread take-up.
Yes, with automated cars there will always be freak events that even a moderately competent driver could have dealt with correctly. However, I'd lay good money that the number of accidents arising and their severity is way, way lower than the current 30,000 deaths a year in the US from vehicle accidents. Really, the only argument against it is squeamishness. Not good enough.
I think it just reflects the fact that we have a *lot* of ways to describe the sexes. Take a verb that can conceivably describe a behaviour of a man or woman, and that can refer to something else, and, well, you're done.
I suspect there's a big cohort effect. People like what they know, and the vast majority of the book-reading public has been using paper longer than screens. I know I see teenagers who have no problem using a screen for extended reading, which drives me nuts.
It's not wierd at all. The big deal in spookland these days is making sense of the data they have, not getting more of it. I'd guess the US have a hell of an edge in this regard and the UK is playing catchup.
I can't recall a single point he's made that I thought was interesting enough to remember. Shaky premises get developed not entirely rigorously ending with a sweeping conclusion that will never, ever be implemented. 2/10.

Check Scheier's blog on the NSA decryption story and find Clive Robinson's post on airgapping and building provably secure code.

Do you have any evidence whatsoever that large numbers of non-smokers are (a) incepting use of e-cigarettes and (b) unable to stop using them?
In fairness, it's not exactly a normal office. If you're an out of town MP it's more like a hotel without a bed.

Um, Putin jails his political opponents and is attempting to outlaw gays. Please don't talk nonsense in your efforts to use hyperbole.
Dude, sorry, but you're in that dangerous zone where you know enough to talk but not enough to know that what you're saying is nonsense.
Also they sounded like shit. I'm not sure the mugging argument really had a major effect.

Because computer science and practicality.
Sometimes an artform needs a new dimension. XKCD is good enough that an individual comic doesn't need to be funny to be valid.
I've done it, for mobile browsing. Fuck 'em. Young lady I spoke to was clearly far more embarrassed than me - so obviously not many people phone up.

One for grammar, one for being able to spell. Points for everybody that wants 'em.
Read the damned ad. They're looking for big data analysts, not hackers. The lead ad copy is just buzzword speak.
I'm pretty sure Schneier knows the difference between security screening and customs clearance.

Yeah, except network effects. For certain genres if you're not on Spotify you're dead.
Plausible, but you'd think someone would have blown the whistle by now.
Surely it would be simple enough to enforce that the switch must be re-engaged before acting if the failsafe has been triggered?
