Without Federal requirements there is no way a corporation is going to spend that kind of money. They have legal protections in place to assure they retain their terminal slots, so while they aren't making money now they won't lose in the long run. The only businesses with total data recovery sites and plans to actually use them are Banks, and that is because they are required by the FDIC.
My Jeep has a smart fob for an ignition key and remote access but the key is still cut for manual door locks. I didn't get auto locks or windows or such. I agree that their security is less than great but I love the performance in the desert and with the soft top I've never really depended on the locks to keep folks out, that is what the garage and insurance is for. Comparing account numbers is a silly exercise in a place like this:)
The steering wheel is by design not a secure location to attach to, it is by intent supposed to fold so you don't die by getting impaled. A better security point is the break petal. It is by design supposed to stand up to a severe crash.
The programming on the key has nothing to do with the door locks, but everything to do with starting the car. You have to insert the key into the door to unlock it, while mere possession of the smart key allows the car to be started. Admittedly basing the smart key code on the readily visible VIN is short-sighted and foolish, the act of locking your car up will at least prevent the casual access.
While blackberry phones seem to have neared the end of relevance, QNX is still a hugely popular and profitable market spanning software running beneath all kinds of products.
I am really enjoying the Olympic Soccer games, but as for the general Olympic sports no I agree with you, very few are watching, compared to other international sporting events.
Why is a Paris based label suing a Chinese based company in the US anyways ? Seems like the wrong venue entirely. I would think that an EU based court would be a more likely venue for such a proceeding.
I am just curious, but according to the census blacks make up 9.5% to 13% depending on which survey you use. So at what point will a company be considered diverse ? When the % of blacks they hire exceed the national % present or when they are equally represented with all other ethnicities, which would put them at a much greater than national average representation.
So if a prosecutor tries for 1st degree murder and fails to prove premeditation the murderer should go free ? That logic leaves a lot to be desired in reality.
That is up for interpretation, the owner did admit to building in the wiring for that explicit purpose so it might be considered. But I bottom line I agree that a private business owner should have the right to choose to allow or disallow the use of cell phones inside their business. To my knowledge it is only the US FCC that forbids the active use of blockers inside any structure anyways, and this place is a UK pub. What they are doing may well be totally legal there I can't say.
I can remember my Dad having to call his work and let them know where we would be in case of an emergency, but he was a cop at the time so that might be a rare exception. He also got a suit cased sized 'portable' phone very early in the 70's, and carried a pager before anyone else knew what they were.
What was the value of the lottery tickets stolen ? Was it valued at the $1.00 per pick or the value if you won ? It was only $1.00 at the time of the theft, can they retroactively apply appreciation to the value of the item ? If you stole $10.00 from the till and one of the dollars turned out to be a rare silver certificate, but that fact was unknown to any party involved at the time of the crime, I wonder if the crime is still a $10.00 theft ?
Porn in 8K resolution. There would be no way to hide any sort of blemish. You'll be able to see things that you will NEVER be able to un-see. There is not enough eye bleach in the world to undo the damage suffered.
Back then there would have been 2 pay phones in the lobby and a landline behind the bar. Still it must be nice to have that option to render your business a mobile phone free zone. Actively blocking or jamming cell signals in the US is an violation of FCC regulations but to use a faraday cage or to take advantage of natural interference is still very legal and in my opinion the right of the owner/operator of any private establishment. I probably wouldn't frequent such a place, being on-call a lot it would make things difficult. I also won't frequent a bar/pub that has cameras facing the customer area if I know about them that is.
I guess if the only application you use is a browser you might be correct, but what about the rest of us that use other apps, and type a significant amount of text. Maybe I just us a lot of VI so am used to not always having a mouse for more than repeat commands that I have come to depend on the KB shortcuts. As for the tab key, I am referring to its usage to step forward to the next designated input area, and the reverse usage of shift tab. I am an old school 3270 user that has learned never to expect anything but a flat 3270 or Wyse terminal in an emergency so I plan and use such generally. Not being a programmer in a setup environment I have to prepare for and often use the lowest common denominator CLI for system recovery and router/SAN access.
If the corporation has rights and is considered a entity, can't the state declare that the entity has revealed itself to be a habitual violator and undesirable corporate citizen and remove its' utility protections ? Systemic violation and internal documentation that enforces unfair/illegal practices should be rewarded with 'shunning'
It might be said that Google has yet to prove they are douche bags who will screw over their customers, the city and anyone else whom they can for a.05. I am not saying Google won't end up that way but so far their fiber rollout has resulted in a much more competitive environment benefiting everyone involved except the incumbent cable/content providers that have been routinely screwing everyone involved.
"Of course, in Linux you can also middle-click to paste, much easier than the Windows Control-C, Control-V maneuver. " (correct spelling the word to a US and most of the world centric version is for my benefit).
It is much easier to cut and paste using the traditional keyboard shortcuts than it is to remove your hands from the KB and position the mouse then return to the keyboard again. Whether you are using *nix or Windows. I can't say for OSX as I've never really been a big user. The use of a mouse is slow and inefficient if you are typing any length of text. That is why the 'tab' functions the way it does.
I did realize it was a combination of JVM and applets but as I stated I am no where near a competent programmer but rather a hardware tech. I took several programming classes while in college so I understand 'in theory' what one should be able to do as a programmer. I work with analysts and systems engineers to design, install and configure CPU's/routers/SAN storage devices and OS's but I would be hard pressed to do anything approaching programming. I'm competent enough to shell script and make use of CRON and such.
Regardless of the 'distinction' between scripting and programming languages, the continued use of Java and Flash presentation just points out how low on the scale of things security falls. Granted I am a hardware guy and not a programmer I think security should rate nearly as high as general user friendliness.
The overhead to make a cell phone connection is much higher, and requires a point to point connection, thus the network will fail under that load. SMS or text messages don't require the same direct connection but can be bounced about and their lifespan is much greater, thus they can be made when the cell network is unavailable for normal calls. The downside is that text messages can go stale and the protocol does not include reception acknowledgement. Thus you can send 3 messages and get only part of them or receive them out of order. Hardwired phones that aren't VOIP are on a different system, and Satellite phones are a different animal entirely and very likely to function. Your solution of Ham and Marine radio will be a MUCH more reliable alternative to a cell phone or text in the event of an emergency and are quite forward thinking as a survival tool. The only downside to those are the limited people equipped to receive them. I've a neighbor who has both HAM and marine equipment he uses regularly.
