Given the dozens and dozens of reported hacks against large orgs over the last 2 year, I can only conclude there is a large disregard for properly addressing security that starts right at the top of the C suite in big companies.
That is at least as troubling for smaller companies, who likely have less resources to deal with security.
Trying to eliminate a set of knowledge backed up by proofs that has benefited mankind enormously under the guise of following a particular religion's ideas (not all religions mind you) is beyond just stupidity.
This sort of idea of one group trying to force all others into a false belief system is also what was behing the rise of "Kings" and "devine right" of Kings and tyrants.
Whether it is Texas A&M, MIT, CalTech or smaller schools like Oregon Inst. of Technology, get a degree where their graduates have high rates of employment within 6 months of graduation.
OIT claims to have 90+ % of graduates with full time jobs within 6 months of graduation. Lots of their graduates have job offers before they leave school.
If a student wants to "dabble" in the soft sciences, like History and Sociology and Psychology, do it at night school after you have a job!
You use the word "food" casually. I am suspect of "food" put in plastic, metal and plastic coated paper containers containing various chemicals or 'food additives". Just because we "can do it" doesn't mean it is healthy to do it.
No infighting from "World Government?" Wait until Indonesia, China & Russia vote against the US & dictate that the US eliminate half its use of coal and oil!
Get 4 academics/researchers in a room and each will have numerous, and maybe half a dozen "math models" each. Then they pick one they think might be "right." What is not discussed is that models are inherently modeling chaotic systems.
Chaotic systems can flip their path (trajectory or outcome if you will) based on things that occur in the 9th, 12th or 20th decimal point. This is well known to mathematicians.
So, are we to alter society and effectively drain its resources to try to accomplish something that is estimated but not proven to be correct? And does everyone share in the expense, or only the richest 6 countries. And if only the richest countries spend tons of money, can they get any desirable result with the rest of the world not paying attention, let alone money and methods, to "fix" whatever is estimated to help.
Smog harms people relatively quickly and we can & have proved that scientifically. So
25% of LA Smog comes from China (scientifically proven), so where is Obama's concern for California's citizens health by insisting on rapid change in China?
Interesting that Bill Gates' friend Warren Buffett came to the same conclusion back in the 1990s, and that was why he said he wouldn't invest in MS, as he could see the long term profit in selling OS software.
Sun Tzu almost 3000 years ago said he'd rather have 1 good spy than 10,000 good soldiers.
So what yields better results, spies you hire or machines who take no pay? Yeah, I know, spies are difficult, messy, and must be paid in cash.
My guess is what you catch with machines is bad guy wannabees. Real terrorists are probably already using unbreakable steganography. The chance of getting 500 bytes of info out of a 500 KB image, if you can figure out which image has hidden data in it, is next to none.
Slashdot Mirror
Boy, this takes the cake.
Of course China is going to go along with this hair-brained idea, right?
The number cited in the Slashdot summary is a US Patent Application and not an issued patent.
An issued Patent is one which would be written as the number in the Subject line of the above post.
And if you are doing nefarious business, Apple plainly states they need a proper court warrant to turn over any data.
Well, Apple has been consistent about what it sells and it is not data to aggregators.

A horrible read.

But judging from seminars, using a PowerPoint to go to sleep is a good use of PPT.
I'm not convinced Android belongs in any vehicle, given the security issues. Am I wrong.

Resign and start consulting NOW!
Figure out new ways to make/deliver unique solutions.

Boy won't we love that.

Climate is a morass best left to God.
And Google is whistling "Under My Thumb" all the way to the bank.
Can you get to 208 degrees F at the internal pressure at which the space station is maintained?

With all electric there are 1000-2000 fewer wear components in the engine-drive train.
Ahh but then MS would lose in supplying exclusive support.
Interesting that Bill Gates' friend Warren Buffett came to the same conclusion back in the 1990s, and that was why he said he wouldn't invest in MS, as he could see the long term profit in selling OS software.
Make everyone reboot into a clean OS every 30-60 minutes, where the "old used OS" is trashed. At least that eliminates the OS side of contamination.
His friend Warren Buffet didn't want to trust software for earnings in the long term.
