Add to it the fact that many get hearing aids through health insurance or paid by the government (varies by country) and the issue that there's little competition in the area of hearing aid availability.
Computers and cars - there's a surplus of them, hearing aids not so much.
And each hearing aid needs to get tuned individually which makes it harder to get into the market.
See it this way - the solution is to release a new version with additional features and take the losses for the version with lost keys. And stop further updates to the version with lost keys.
The good thing with it is that it's valid regardless of computer platform.
A lot of other books on the market are old already when they hit the shelves, but the first print of The C Programming Language is still very useful and valid.
Just be aware that all programming languages and operating systems evolve, even C. However C has not had much change since the 70's compared to other languages out there which means that you can read and compile C code for a 70's computer on a modern machine and make it work with very little effort - much thanks to K&R.
That actually makes sense - why have the train carry the regeneration unit when it actually can feed it's excess energy back to the grid. Lighter trains means less losses.
But it's hardly a new idea to feed energy back to the grid.
First things first - the video do show a handwritten date; 8/10/11, and that's the US way of writing a date, many other places in the world would write a date differently; 2011-08-10, 10/8-11 or so. It's just a rough indication, but a clue.
And the basic design tells me that it's likely to be some cheap surveillance drone lightly masked to look like a bird of prey to fool the casual observer. Won't take much effort to design and develop something like that compared to the more heavy stuff that the US military is using.
And it has probably been flying under the radar (pun intended) because it hasn't been sexy enough.
But it still doesn't resolve the fact that the revocation has to be propagated, and it's not often working well with certificate revocation lists - often due to user error and trouble setting up the CRL handling in the web browser or other application.
And if you have the same random generator on both sides and have them in sync then you can send small twitter texts or timestamp ticks at irregular intervals all in clear and only the synchronized nodes are able to create a message out of it. To all other nodes it's just junk.
Not very efficient when it comes to bandwidth but very hard to figure out what's going on.
And anyone that is going to transfer secret information will likely be using satellite links or steganography and similar techniques to transfer information between each other. Code words and stuff like that isn't new. "Buy eggs to Maria" may have it's straight meaning most days but on Fridays before 11AM it means that you should bring hand grenades to a certain location.
Especially since even if you revoke a certificate it still requires that someone checks the revocation list - and if you are behind a wall or suffer from a man in the middle, can you be sure that the revocation list is the correct one?
Once a CA is failed - it's completely and utterly failed as a trusted entity. And if someone got hold of the private CA key - then it's a clusterfsck.
Unless you are able to turn around the trade deficit you will slowly lose the strength of the US economy. The trade deficit is paid for in different ways - often in US bound assets - properties and shares in various companies.
Imagine the surprise if one day a company like Apple suddenly is owned by foreign owners and they decide to move the HQ to Taiwan or Hong Kong.
"The Worlds Remaining Superpower" is now an oxymoron. The US may have a lot of military personnel but it's a very sick country on the verge of collapse.
Essentially - what the King family originally opposed was that someone was making money out of his speech, not that it was propagated.
Maybe we need something in between Public Domain and Copyright as it is today. Of course we have the Creative Commons license, but maybe that's not right either. A license that allows works to be propagated but never for profit. Of course - that wasn't possible back in those days. But today it is since a work can be spread over the net for "free".
As a side note - don't come to Sweden wearing shoes of crocodile skin or clothes of other endangered animals - even if it's inherited from your great grandmother.
Fitta - Ancient scandinavian word for weat meadow. (Today it has a completely different meaning, and I suspect that most of you can figure out what the wet meadow is...)
The word list will exclude any works related to description of the human body - like what can be written in biology classes. Or if the student is writing an article about street language.
Someone has to be very stuffed in the brain with "dirty" words to come up with that list.
Some people needs to get banned from even thinking of word filters.

We need a plauge.
The population is starting to wear this planet down. And I'm guilty too.
How I wish I had mod points for "Insightful".

Probably to deceive the casual observer and/or to improve the aerodynamics.
But it can also be to tweak the radar signature so the radar observer knows that it's 'his' bird.
In all - a cheap surveillance drone. Nothing remarkable in reality.

That's true, but most random generators are pseudo random generators.

Fine - I'll just have to re-re-re-watch Max Headroom a-a-a-again.
Fortunately (or unfortunately) that's no longer the case.
It will be a considerable blow if the US goes down, but it doesn't cause a fatal blow anymore.
And every time there is a recession the US is falling down on the scale of economic weight.
DigiNotar CA is now removed from my list of trusted root CA:s.
I propose that all web browsers and other application should do the same since it's not certain how many compromised ones there are out there.
Or that the private key for the root CA was kept safe.
Especially since even if you revoke a certificate it still requires that someone checks the revocation list - and if you are behind a wall or suffer from a man in the middle, can you be sure that the revocation list is the correct one?

I think that the catch here is that it shouldn't be possible to profit from it. That's the catch with this speech.

That's what you get when you place bean-counters in the leadership.

Brainfart - it should be wet.

Interesting point. And they can as well drop down in other locations too - Australia is an alternative.
But mothballing the ISS can be prolonged a few times and then it will be de-orbited by itself. Depressing...
