    Media isn't consolidating - it's monopolizing. First they grow to a few big corporations then they specialize in a certain field of media and customers will have no choice.

    Push hard enough and you puncture the battery - with corresponding audiovisual effects.

    What advertising? I'm running an adblocker - and so do most people with sense these days.

  5. Lost business? on Dyn Executive Responds To Friday's DDOS Attack (dyn.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Is that really lost business or was it just a delay in the interaction for the customers?

    If shop's not available one day I'll wait a day or two to place my order. It's only if stuff is offline for a long period that it's really lost business because then I probably have gone elsewhere.

    There's even a Mythbusters episode on that.

  9. On a jury you can always cause obstruction or at least mess up things a little by having a different opinion compared to the others.

    Just have a means to puncture and short the battery, just don't do it in your pocket.

    A fire evacuation has a tendency to disrupt any search by cops.

    Just drop the phone and place a chair leg in the display accidentally.

    Better to link fingerprint unlock to device wipe and only use a pin code to get into the device properly.

    That would be pretty interesting, especially if the watermark is for some major customer that re-broadcasts it to a lot of people.

    Add to it all false positives that will suddenly create problems on the net.

    This will just cause the streams to go encrypted instead.

  15. Re:Signal triangulation = GPS on Russians Seek Answers To Central Moscow GPS Anomaly (yahoo.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Now that it's know that there is an error then any attacker would plan for alternatives.

    The only way it really can be effective is when it's not active until really needed.

    And there are still maps, alternative beacons, compasses (magnetic and gyro) and dead reckoning that can be used to find such targets for anyone out to perform an attack.

    People were able to navigate even before GPS existed.

  16. As long as the handling is in the way it is there's no solution to the problem.

    Nothing that can't be fixed with an axe though.

  17. Whenever I see the term Cell I think of a prison or something else you are locked into.

  24. Re:Ursula LeGuin doesn't count? on Why Is Science Fiction Snubbed By Literary Awards? (galacticbrain.com) · · Score: 2

    With quite a collection in my bookshelves I'd say that the range of personalities and human limitations presented are quite wide in Science Fiction.

    The early Science Fiction with Alfred Bester, Christopher Anvil, Robert Heinlein, James White and Isaac Asimov was quite wide-spread and was covering a wide range of ideas about society, human behavior ideas and social experiments in an environment that gave them freedom to place their own rules to their experiments. But in the end it was about how to look at humanity. Many of the stories were presented with many facets at the same time so it may have been hard to draw conclusions from them.

    Maybe the people handing out awards are unable to handle multi-faceted stories? Or maybe they are put of by people actually being successful despite their problems?
