I have a cunning plan, my lord.
- The guest doesn't get open internet access.
- The wifi provider opens up a secure tunnel with a server designated, or owned by the guest. The ISP is foiled.
- The guest connect to it and sets up a secure tunnel itself, through which he accesses the internet. The wifi provider is foiled as it cannot snoop on it and cannot be considered responsible by what the guest does, morally. Legally it's another matter, but then, the law is immoral. Also if the guest misbehaves the investigators will find the server designated/owned by the guest first, which is probably the right place to investigate if you want to find the real source.
> CMB is based on data that can't be explained any other *reasonable* way There are no parameters for defining reasonable or unreasonable things in a universe, if you happen to exist in the same universe, because you have no way to discover all the rules from the inside of it.

Science does not explain, science models. Because for every chain of reasons that science can come up with, "the last element is "because it is that way".
You left out some other possibilities. Sufficiently advanced civilizations might travel by hacking the spacetime, or by out of body experiences. So we might be observed without alien spacecrafts hovering over our heads. And the observers might indeed be quite bored.
In the alternate universe where nokia execs say "Fuck you, disseminate the key" we have nokia with a hacker friendly smartphone platform OR an instantly obsoleted platform thanks to evil hackers. I guess they would be better off than this nokia. "Being broken" was the business model of microsoft windows and they became number one with it.
Nope, not "any". Any sufficiently advanced incompetence should approximate malice about 50% of the time, the other 50% it should approximate competence. When a random guy you have business with always overcharges you and never undercharges you, do you assume incompetence or malice?
Because organisms that reproduce rapidly also tend to mutate rapidly (more opportunity per time unit, more unstable DNA) and just because there's no evolutionary need doesn't prevent random mutations from occurring.
It prevents random mutations from having advantages, though. In unvaccinated hosts the mutants compete for needed resources with all their peers, while they have an advantage in vaccinated people. To become prevalent they may need two stages, one of generation and one of selection. As you say below:
It sounds like these new mutations (which all microorganisms undergo regularly) are opportunistically using the unvaccinated as their proving ground.
And the vaccinated as their selectors, possibly. But I repeat, serious, in depth studies are the only possible answer.
I don't see why the illness should mutate more where it encounters less resistance, that is in the not immunized hosts. But OK, somebody will sure have studies on this, and hopefully they have been independently confirmed.
Still it is the opposite phenomenon of what happens in hospitals: pathogens that manage to survive there become way difficult to remove. I also wonder what Darwin would have thought of less selective pressure leading to more mutations.
Music is art, art is propaganda (for what concerns public expression, private expression is not on wikipedia), propaganda is meant to influence people. The study is flawed but not because of art itself.

Yes, very fun. Just multiply all the fun you have managing your pc, smart tv, cellphone, by 1000.

What you call speculation is only the most obvious explanation.

No, you have to stay in your bubble and swear at those human drivers and check yahoo email with android phone to get ahead in your insane work schedule designed to keep other people unemployed so they can lower your salary. With public transport you might have conversations with real people and those usually lead to some truth. Stay in your bubble.
This seems to me the wrong level for software diversity, too low. A bug in the source will be executed in all variants (think sql injection), while an exploit that depends on particular bytes in particular locations can already be made difficult by ASLR.
What about having higher level protocols that the software of a given category must adhere to, and various programs that treat data according to those protocols? You know, like that internet thing before the prevalence of web2.0 megasites, or like posix. Then every piece of malware cannot do universal damage and every botnet has to deal with a different host configuration.

I'd only like to add that Ohi means Ouch in Italian, and that the reactor who blew up in chernobyl was number four, and 4 is a bad luck number in Japan. Watch those temp dials guys, don't pull a Simpson.

In fact, I was thinking: "Boring, my ass", but I didn't know exactly why.
You left out some other possibilities. Sufficiently advanced civilizations might travel by hacking the spacetime, or by out of body experiences. So we might be observed without alien spacecrafts hovering over our heads.
And the observers might indeed be quite bored.

Pffft. Get one, step on it, voila'.
For something completely different, I'll put a man on LEGO, any takers?

I'd say the test is obsolete. It's not measuring the advances in AI, but the involution of humans. Have you looked at Facebook status messages?

Well it basically depends on how much apart from each other his fucking days are.
Troll is the mod for the comment that you dislike which is neither flamebait nor offtopic, duh.
Back to topic, if a troll obeys a call for arms, it is an impure trollable troll that needs his troll card revoked.
