When asked if the entire scope of the Internet of Things -- billions of interconnected devices -- would be "a security nightmare or a signals intelligence bonanza,"
The very fact that it's a security nightmare means that it's a SIGINT bonanza.
In fairy land with the unicorns and super-dense LiPo batteries that don't explode when you sneeze really hard.
Because what do you need in order to power 16GB RAM and a 1TB SSD??? Lots of power. Which don't exist in batteries with the density required at prices that are affordable.
It'd be like arguing a human child cannot be said to having been born...
No, it's not. Why? Because we have a multitude of visual evidence that human children are born from human parents -- I was there for the birth of my two.
Not so much, though, for the simulation hypothesis.
Because the hypothesis doesn't explain where the original Earth comes from (just like "God created the Heavens and the Earth" doesn't explain where God came from).
DLNA annoys me due to the transcoding cpu load on my server.
Minidlna does no transcoding (it just feeds video files to whatever device asks for them), so I wonder if it's the "DLNA" part that's mandating the transcodes or some other "feature" of your media software.
Anyone shocked that Scott Walker is doing this is either (a) too naive to be allowed to breed, or (b) grossly partisan for the other side. (Anyone want to bet how naive that reporters from the Wisconsin Gazette are?)
Besides, he's paying off his debt by doing something completely legal.
I haven't read claims that it was good to rape all those Germans, just that it was understandable. I don't think you're going to find very many references to Japanese claiming that the Rape of Nanking was actually a good thing.
Of course not now, after the fact. I was referring to the actual soldiers doing the deed.

Just because our Universe is a computer simulation doesn't mean that theirs is. They could have developed through Evolution quite naturally.
True enough. But what's the predictive power of the "theory" that we're in a simulation?
And how is it any more provable than the Deistic "God started the Big Bang" assertion?

Wasn't there a Star Trek episode (or three) about that?
This "NPC" demands the source code, the debugger and full root access.
Tron FTW!
Wouldn't it be cool if it was turtles that programmed our simulation? Because, then, you know...
Hinduism?
Of course there is: the infinite regression of where did the uber-advanced civilization come from which created our Universe?
Exactly. These are Fourth Amendment warrants, not police state NSLs.
But she knew how to use it.
Yes. Sorry.
Think Grandpa, who barley manages to run the microwave
Bad example: microwave ovens have been around since Grandpa was in his prime.

Heat?
Good point. Could you stack two layers separated by head sinks? You'd obviously need vent holes, though.
It would give 25TB capacity: 512GB/stamp at 5 stamps wide, 5 stamps deep (need some room for control & power circuits) and two layers high.
when SSDs overtake HDDs on practical metrics such as data density
I think that day has arrived.
and even more so on price.
5 years?
It would cost a small fortune, but you could easily fit 50TB or more of data in a 1" x 3.5" HDD form factor.
Clue that it is not the case is at the start of the first sentence.
Not if you're a big fan of the Wisconsin Gazette but don't realize your naivete.
Or (c) from a different country and shocked at how unprincipled that bunch is now. I think even Nixon would blush.
That's code for "I'm grossly partisan against Walker."
[grin]
And the people who read it and are genuinely shocked?
OR... does their bias blind them, causing the naive shock and rage?
Exactly.

Direct quote from my wife: "Working with women is a pain in the ass", because of the gossiping, cat fighting and back-biting.
Even worse, what idiot thinks that only "slut" and "whore" indicate misogyny?
BILLIONS UPON BILLIONS of dollars to Microsoft because they treasure convenience over security.
Makes me want to barf.

You wouldn't want any outrage until an actual policy has been made, would you? Where's the fun in that?
Ask any partisan on any side of the fence. Fear is a great donation motivator.
