Yes, you are much more likely to have a non-storage activity enabled on USB, but this attack only needed storage that's mounted and run, and SD can do that just fine, so SD wouldn't protect from anything. And I'm just pointing out that SD doesn't prevent network connection or other types of expansion cards. Nearly all I/O connections have been turned into a network port. Maybe not all Ethernet-based TCP/IP, but most. I've used CF and PCMCIA 10/100 cards, both were originally memory only, and I've already posted an SD WiFi card.
That one runs a disconnected Wi-Fi to share the photos using the power supplied, but no connection back to the host, but I've also used networking cards in PCMCIA slots. You do know what the MC stands for in that, right? memory cards have been used for more than just flash memory, since as soon as they were invented.
So it's impossible to set up a Linux system to mount a USB stick and run a specific file, if present? Sounds like a lame OS.
Based on the limited information, it looks like it was setup as a recovery/maintenance feature that required physical security, and physical security was compromised. Sure, for "security" you could program all ATMs to self destruct on any OS halt, but I'm not sure that would be in the best financial interests of the owning company.

30 years ago, I was quoted in a newspaper. The words in quotes were not mine, despite me talking directly to the author while she was holding a pen and pad. The substance wasn't far off, but lost all the nuance in my words.
Go grab a paper from 30 years ago. Find a topic you are well-versed in. Read an article about it. You'll find they are way-off and more often than not, simply wrong. Now apply that accuracy to the rest of the paper.
The real reason it's a problem now, is that people hear about it. I'd never heard of the NJ waitress with the anti-gay receipt until this article. In the old days, nobody would have. The hoaxes existed, but were all local, and the majors didn't bother to pickup up the smaller stories that are so great for hoaxes today.
I've seen nothing that requires that the Android be emulated within Windows. Why not have a thin VM that runs both, then Windows and Android are independent. You can crash Windows without harming your Android, and vice versa. That's what some of the "instant" web laptops did with a Windows/Linux dual-boot (not simultaneous, but that's not hard to fix).
If they are finally shipping computers where the BIOS is a VM-OS, then it is big news. Next step is simultaneous OSs of as many as your hardware can handle. Tri-boot OSX, Win 8.1, and your flavor of Linux, and add in DOS when you want to play some abandonware for nostalgia. You'd never need an emulator again, just run the real thing. Now, where did I put my DOS 3.3 floppies?
23AndMe wasn't shut down, they just are no longer allowed to point out genes that may be linked to medical issues. It wasn't the use of samples, but the description of the analysis, not the analysis itself, but telling the "owner" of the DNA what it "means". You must pay a member of the AMA for that. The feds will go in and do everything in their power to protect that conservative union.
I've had my submission rejected, only to see it on the site a day later, submitted by someone else who used the first paragraph verbatim as the summary. My intelligent summary (or attempt at it) was rejected. Or it was too timely. Who knows. Since nearly all accepted submissions take copy-paste, and many rejections don't, it looks like the editors prefer copy-paste.
Is this from interviews with convicted criminals, or unfounded fears by the rich who want to remain hidden to stockpile their riches, without regard to society or their neighbors?
Perhaps your myopic socialist viewpoint is due to your lack of wealth or maybe even laziness. Interestingly, it has been proven over and over, that most people that share such a viewpoint completely abandon it if they achieve wealth.
I'm probably richer than you (if Slashdot was a random selection, I'd be more than 99% sure of that, but it isn't, but I still have a good chance of being right). I haven't abandoned my viewpoint. In fact, many people abandon that idea off the idea that someday they might become rich, despite never actually trying to be rich (other than buying a lotto ticket when they can afford it). We call them "poor Republicans".
If elected tomorrow, I'd abolish the stupid tax advantages that make it cheaper for me to buy a house and rent it out than for someone to buy it to live in it. Not that we need to drive more home ownership, but that the rich shouldn't be given additional tax breaks when those trying to be rich can't get them. Most of the codes are reressive, but so complex it's not well understood, except by those who are affected, who generally are the ones that don't want it to change. Now that I own multiple houses, why should I make it more expensive for me to own so many and rent them out? I'd have to be stupid to be that altruistic, or so I'm told.
Let's say one of your unionized coworkers came up with and lead the implementation of an idea that would save your company $5M or increase revenues by 10% over the next year. What would their expected reward be? If a different company saw that result (or potential) in that same coworker, what might they be willing to extend in terms of a job offer to that person?
Have you ever worked? If you are at a job and had one of those ideas, do you know what your reward would be? I'll give you a hint. It isn't monetary (unless the company had a written policy before-hand, and almost none do). So unions don't make a difference in whether a single exceptional worker is paid for their exceptional work. Those types of bonuses are reserved for management only, so at best, your idea could make your department head some cash.
If you look at something like a job site posting of "average salary" they list salary. If you look at a hatchet job against public sector, they'll list it as "salary" and instead sum all benefits, even potential benefits not actually used.
Oh, we are getting modded down for defending Hillary. But yes, I keep getting told about the "blood on the hands" and the best I can find for even a lie by Hillary is that she never answered the questions about why she acted how she did while it was occurring, when there's no indication she did anything "wrong" at the time.
I've not seen anyone point out any lies. She got mouthy to a rude freshman senator in one hearing, and so that uppity bitch must be lying. That's the best I've seen, and it's severely lacking. The timeline is consistent with the official story, and a couple of news places seemed to get time zones wrong, indicating we did things before we did them, which was never the case.
I think I can help you with a simple heuristic. If major news outlets such as the New York Time, the Telegraph, Human Events, or others
Human events list their motto as "Powerful Conservative Voices", so I didn't take them too seriously. The NYT article is 25 years old (and even then, doesn't directly support the thesis, as it's about small covert teams testing US defenses in the cold war, and not "platoons"), and the Telegraph article doesn't say what you imply it does. I didn't read all your links, but the only one of the three I bothered to read before giving up that supports the presumed thesis is a conservative blog site. How does that fit in your heuristic?
So you know it's insane because you haven't driven in it. I'm not sure I understand that logic. I also had the Golden Rule explained to me by a local, and with that in mind, everything else made a little more sense.
If humans are rational, then we are all rational, so you could make assumptions about the other player's choice. But humans aren't rational. That's the point.
And I've read where it explicitly states that foreign licenses are not valid in China. Did you ever get pulled over? By your logic, driving without any license at all is legal, so long as nobody finds out.
Which, one of the majors trying for fraud against me, or renting a car in a town so small the bug players don't go, and el-chico's is the only place? And isn't el-chico a little racist? It implies Mexicans are cheap and low quality. There are plenty of immigrants in Alaska, but a larger number are Pacific Rim or Caribbean. Perhaps "rent-a-wreck" is what you meant, though a large chain stole the name after it had been used in jest for years.
I know what Wikipedia is. That's why my suggestion was for you to update Wikipedia. Though Wikipedia comes with cites. A quick glance finds the source of the statement, and it isn't from an opinion piece.
Nah, it'll take you weeks to get your license, unless you bribe for it. But bribery is punishable by death in China, so I tried to avoid it. It's common, but as a foreigner it's too easy to break convention and get in trouble.

I always presumed #3 would happen as soon as they could set up a subsidiary that looked sufficiently independent on paper.
, but just a port for a SD card (a USB card can register as more than just a drive, so having just a SD card prevents that)

That's dangerously close to "computers make you dumber". Is that really the impression you wish to share?
