Regardless of all the great things Valve has done in the past, the past is over. Valve is now all about Steam, and Steam has corrupted them. They may not be showing many outward signs of this corruption yet, but make no mistake. It is just a matter of time now.
DRM corrupts everything it touches. They cannot wield it. No one can. It belongs to the Enemy. Valve must destroy DRM, or else it will consume them.
Valve used to be a great company before Steam. Steam corrupted them.
I stopped buying games associated with Steam because I want to be able to lend games to my kids to play on their computer.
To make matters worse, there's no way to tell on the retail box that the game will require Steam registration to play it. So this means now that I cannot buy any new games period. For fear that they might require Steam registration.
There are many different versions/translations of the Bible. Half the people at my church carry around a different version from the official one the church uses, and don't even think of it as an issue. The translations are all very, very different as far as matching any specific word(s).
It is common practice. It is done in various ways though. Sometimes they're physically separate networks, sometimes via routers and VLANs. Only the smallest plants have a single network where you can reach the internet from the PLC network. Usually this is fixed as soon as the company is big enough to build a decent network infrastructure.
At the big manufacturing companies I've done work for: 3M, Johnson & Johnson, Anheiser Busch, Ely Lilly, Pepsico, Bayer-- all these companies have huge network infrastructure and policies that keep PLCs physically isolated. There is no way that the exploits here could be useful against them. Even smaller companies such as Bacardi or BASF have these same policies in place. You'd have to target someone really small and vulnerable. A company big enough to be using a SCADA system, but not big enough yet to incorporate a decent network infrastructure to protect itself.
I've seen those companies too, but none of their names you would recognize because they are too small. Yes they are vulnerable. Pick any small town with a population under ~30,000 and you'd probable find an automated water plant or two you could infect. Big deal.
They already have that. It's called Windows Firewall. The default though is to Allow All outgoing. The reason that's the default is that if you know what you're doing then you'll turn it on and use it as the tool it was meant to be. If you don't know what you're doing then having it on won't do any good anyway, because you'll just automatically click 'Ok' or 'Allow' without reading the message.
I don't see how adding another theory to a curriculum equates to "denying education". On the contrary, it adds to education.
However, in this particular case there's no point in even trying to introduce ID in a public classroom simply because not even every believer in the class would agree with the wording of it. That's even assuming that everyone in the classroom is a Christian in the first place, which obviously isn't the case. We have many different churches in this country all believing in a slightly different version of whatever scripture(s) they ascribe to.
You've hit on a major downside to this new method. How do you measure quadrance and spread in the real world?
Until Home Depot starts selling quadrance tape measures and "spread" mitre saws, you're not gonna see this idea really in use at all outside of a classroom environment.
Doesn't anyone find it scary that there are terrorists roaming freely through our country now, because they know as a result of this news story that the alias "Ted Kennedy" is now a free pass through all airport security lines?
It's a great idea. Kills two birds with one stone.
Allows them to roam around freely using Ted Kennedy's name.
Creates problems between us as we now predictably blame each other for Ted Kennedy's name being on the list.
They're playing us like a fiddle against each other, and we're making it too easy for them.

So will lava lamps be illegal in two years? Why? What about the heat lamps that keep our fries warm? Do warm fries cause global climate change now?

This theory just can't be "standardized".
Conservatism is not a religious belief, and it does not equal a belief in intelligent design. You're mixing your ideologies.
