There have been privilege escalation attacks against FTP servers in the past.
Snooping on an ftp transaction should only give you the credentials for an unprivileged account. If you can escalate to Administrator privileges, then you can do anything.
The UK seems to have managed privatizing the electricity and gas companies reasonably well and got a competitive marketplace that functions acceptably.
The problem is arguably, not that the utilities are private companies, but the way the market is structured.
Oh, and I forgot one more group of people (note there is overlap, this isn't an entirely separate group): the people who think that they are "temporarily inconvenienced" millionaires. They think that, at some point in the future, they will be rich and they want to benefit from the tax cuts when that happens.
For most of these people, their only plan to become rich is to buy lottery tickets.
Republicans/Conservatives, you need to explain yourselves: how is it you can put up with the utter and complete falsehoods like this that are coming out of YOUR Administration?
Because they approve of the xenophobia, racism, misogyny and intolerance that this administration represents. They want to control other people's lives.
It's a nice service, but in the email that they send me, every day, without fail, there is exactly one "mailpiece for which we don't currently have an image"
I am impressed that you think that, on the one hand, insurance companies try to reduce repair costs as much as possible ("Insurance companies are famous for requiring repair centers to jump through hoops like demanding aftermarket panels to be fitted first before they will pay for OEM"), while on the other hand thinking that insurance companies will accept unreasonably high repair costs.
I am impressed that you know more about repair costs than the insurance company's own adjuster (and without even seeing the car!). Please let me know how to contact you so that the next time I need to have one of my cars repaired, I can have you assess the real repair costs.
Note, the Model 3 doesn't use much aluminum, it's mostly steel, unlike the S and X.
Also, due to laws protecting US shipping companies, you can't pull into a port from a foreign country, unload some of your cargo, then sail to another US port.
Are you sure about that? I am aware of the Jones act, but I think it only comes into play if the ship were to load up at the port. Just partially unloading and proceeding to another port is, I think, allowed.
Of course, unloading, then proceeding to another port (now partially loaded) is inefficient and probably not cost effective.
I liken it to the checkout lane problem [thetvaddict.com]....
You have misinterpreted that article. In fact, what it tells us cannot be extrapolated to other fields. The reason the single line is slower on average is very specific to grocery store lines: "The reason for the longer time was that waiting in the serpentine line, it took longer to get from the end of the line to the open cashier stand"
The movie industry will likely develop and exploit new "talent".
At one time, people would watch a movie because John Barrymore was in it. Very few people will do that today, but people may watch a movie because Drew Barrymore is in it.
Actors will be all-CGI entities. Studios are obviously interested in this - imagine how much money they will save per movie by not having to pay the salary of the prima donna of the moment.
I am not sure it will be so simple. People choose the movie they will watch based in part on the actors in the movie. Think of the actors' salaries as a promotional expense.

Perhaps that's the real motivation for this bill: Make CEOs think twice before cooperating with the NSA in invading the privacy of US citizens.
$15/month for HBO Now (or the same via Amazon). Monthly cost via cable or satellite is higher.
Really? What about the Navajo Generating Station?

I'm sitting here in top 10% land and the tax "cuts" mean that I will pay thousands more in tax.

You may be right. I had always read it as "one mail piece", but perhaps it should be read as "at least one".
When did Apple actually "lead the way"? Remember the old joke: "to see what is coming on the new iPhone, look at what was new on Android 2 years ago".
Apple has rarely been a technology leader.
The other thing that I notice from this system is that mail from the UK is frequently scanned upside down.

Is that doublethink hard or easy for you?

$7000 for a small dent on the fender.
If you could not see that one side was lying more than the other, then you are a moron.
I you could not see the racism that was drove one side's argument, coming from the top of the campaign, you are a moron.
You are being sarcastic, right? Because the USA currently has a huge welcher as President right now.
Equador should sue the producers of the awful comedy Asylum for crimes against humanity.
The term commonly used for vintage car parts is "new old stock" (NOS).

Oh, yeah, you care. That's clear.
Fiction, mostly fiction? Who cares?
No, the real problem is that some people don't realize that it is fiction.
