You could easily be in a position of gaining financially from a business or property sale or a divorce where large $s are at stake.
If a malicious person can corrupt a government worker or that worker himself sees a way to get a big payday, your data may be compromised. It is not just the NSA that is spying at this point. Do you really think in various government agencies, only the NSA uses hacker tools?
When something involving large $s is at stake, do you use email, a cell phone or your other computer connections? A government worker finding that a big payday can be leveraged for his benefit from his official work, may choose to use that or a hacker tool to invade your deal and make off with a "bonus." You only have to succeed once or twice in this way to live in the South of France the rest of your life.
This is why this must be stopped by a variety of means. Government must treat email like it treats USPS postal mail. Email users must start using encrypted email. OS suppliers must supply hardened OSs.
Failure to change will result in a total tyranny by governments and the people who HAVE ACCESS to the governments sources of data. At that you force the whole population to be paranoid. Welcome to the Stassi run US Government (& others, thanks UK). This will inevitably result in people being afraid to talk in public because of cameras and microphones, even more than now.
As long as the Fed. government can raise taxes with no upper limit, the country will inexorably become a feudal state with the serf-citizens who literally work their entire lives to feed the Fed.
And then the Feds, debase the value of any savings you manage to hide away from them.
How could Xerox make copiers for this length of time and not have a proofreading algorithm that works with a super-resolution scan & no interpolation to "machine check" the final commercial copier as a way of quickly finding errors?
Internatlly, Xerox engineering had to know they were "correcting" pixels, rather than just "copying" them, so how did they verify their software?
Wait until you say something that pisses off the DIP, Dictator in Power.
Then they will look for any and everything you do to find a reason to take you down. Didn't pay all your license fees, you took a deduction you didn't justify, you claimed something that wasn't right on a government form, or maybe you didn't reply to a government request. You are a criminal.
Worse yet, they have unlimited funds to take you down, if their SWAT team doesn't find a reason to do it first.
It sounds promising, but there is a lot of work ahead before it hits the market, if ever. Dosing, administration mode, side effects, when it can be used, what other drugs it will interact with and which it won't are all a part of what needs to be determined. The "drug" may have been discovered, but is really just a tiny part of what needs to be known before you can safely prescribe the use in people under all the varying conditions of use where it might be needed.
Thus, just because the molecule is "open source" doesn't guarantee it will be viable or commercially developed. Now the real money has to be spent to justify it being approved by the FDA and released as a safe commercial product.
Either that or he really, really, really does not have one...which in itself is then an inditement of the Federal Government choice of directors of important agencies.
For God's sake, he had better understand by the time he reads this post that most people are petrified at the thought of having to resist the Feds, whether in a Tax Audit or a SWAT attack on the wrong house.
I have seen hundreds of people who have good spatial skills & always suspected that is what led to the interest in STEM.
The reason I say this is that young kids with spatial skills develop those before they even hear the acronym STEM before eve kindergarten. They play with tools and disassemble and reassemble all sorts of things...just like I did as far back as I could remember to around 3-4 years of age.
Some of these people I knew went to college, technical schools and others became skilled builders, mechanics and machinists. Each could visualize, sketch and do the math their interest required, very well.
When you put generators down 5-6000 feet in deep fast ocean currents, which run virtually at constant speed year round, the amount of power available down there is staggering. Obviously it only works near coastline regions, but that is where the large populations tend to be, though not all coasts have deep water currents.
Superconducting long distance transmission lines are improving in capability, so maybe distance is not so much a problem in the future.
It is not technically difficult or polluting. We already put complex anchors and devices at those depths for oil drilling.
No need for radioactive stuff, no cooling, no dead birds, no pulsing noise to humans, no polution.
It takes damn good engineering, but that is what we are damn good at.
I respectfully disagree that it is just an IT delay. Problem will still be here in 2015 and people will still not want to sign up, plus the insurance cost raises will continue in at least double digits, so this is ALL ABOUT reelecting Demos in 2014 midterms.
Obama, on the other hand, wants a broken system where everyone bitches, because he fully intends as he has said on camera before becoming President, that he wants to go to a single payer system (100% Gov't run healthcare), but just can't get there all at once.
And in the end that means the Federal government and its enforcement arm, the IRS, will take whatever they need from you and me to support the care they give to everyone, whether we like it or not.
This is a quick review of what tyranny looks like; Pay what the Gov't says or you are a criminal as there is no other option but to leave the country. New Zealand, Australia, Chile; they are all looking better.

Once these transistors make up a functional computer &/or computer network.
Plenty of jobs for security specialists are ensured.

I sympathize with Bill Fernandez saying he won't see the movie.
We live with what we got now. That is life. But ...
Within a few years that will change with lithium-sulfur batteries if the lab geeks have anything to say about it.

But did they mention Solar caused Global cooling during the Maunder Minimum?

"There has to be consequences." You mean like Chicago consequences? Vote early vote often?
"the government will have supreme power over anybody they don't like" as with ...
You mean like the IRS targeting companies & individuals who donated to Tea Party's and the Tea Partys themselves?
What this means is the government is now attempting to control EVERYTHING, just to STAY IN POWER.
That's Google. "Public" WiFi with data mining.
Hey, Google "mined" all the local users and has no more need for them, so grind down the speeds.

Who said the Eastern European or Russian or Chinese or N. Korean government hackers had not already been using this?

China has a VERY long memory & written history.
Sun Tzu in the Art of War 2500 years ago said (paraphrazing from memory) "I would rather have one good spy than 10,000 good soldiers."
218 earth days for a full orbit.
Consumers & business have their share of distate for BSODs and other disasters that cause them to go to other devices.
It makes sense in a strange way.
Can you stomach it?

Start now.
So why pick a more expensive & less mobile PC?
And...Congress wastes what little time they spend in session (between long weekends and 'breaks') on a Moon Park?
What could go wrong with Vinny and your money?
