This is not 1985 anymore; rollback should be included by default in any networking equipment which deems to indicate it should be used for line of business networks.

...DRM came as a response to piracy. Get piracy down...
Piracy of some sort has existed as long a people have existed. Producers who don't accept the obvious fact that a certain percentage of their product will always be pirated lack a realistic business outlook. If the product truly has value, people will purchase the product and encourage others to do the same. If the product is mediocre crap, people will disassemble the product to point out all the flaws.
Piracy is just an excuse for people to take things apart and break them.
Sigh... we geeks really have to work on our marketing... we need an image consultant!
And the first thing geekdom will require is that this consultant Open Source himself and his work product. And then you will argue about which OSS license is more appropriate; and discuss the differences to oblivion. And then a bunch of you will fork his work. And then another group will require him to set up a torrent for the new image.
A new image assumes a consensus about which all geeks will conform. Now, what do you think the probability curve looks like?
Since the summary is inadequate and misleading..... New Antifreeze Molecule Isolated In Alaska Beetle
Scientists have identified a novel antifreeze molecule in a freeze-tolerant Alaska beetle able to survive temperatures below minus 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Unlike all previously described biological antifreezes that contain protein, this new molecule, called xylomannan, has little or no protein. It is composed of a sugar and a fatty acid and may exist in new places within the cells of organisms.
"The most exciting part of this discovery is that this molecule is a whole new kind of antifreeze that may work in a different location of the cell and in a different way," said zoophysiologist Brian Barnes, director of the University of Alaska Fairbanks Institute of Arctic Biology and one of five scientists who participated in the Alaska Upis ceramboides beetle project.
Just as ice crystals form over ice cream left too long in a freezer, ice crystals in an insect or other organism can draw so much water out of the organism’s cells that those cells die. Antifreeze molecules function to keep small ice crystals small or to prevent ice crystals from forming at all. They may help freeze-tolerant organisms survive by preventing freezing from penetrating into cells, a lethal condition. Other insects use these molecules to resist freezing by supercooling when they lower their body temperature below the freezing point without becoming solid.
UAF graduate student and project collaborator Todd Sformo found that the Alaska Upis beetle, which has no common name, first freezes at about minus 18.5 degrees Fahrenheit in the lab and survives temperatures down to about 104 degrees below zero Fahrenheit.
"It seems paradoxical that we find an antifreeze molecule in an organism that wants to freeze and that’s adapted to freezing," said Barnes, whose research group is involved in locating insects, determining their strategies of overwintering and identifying the mechanisms that help them get through the winter
A possible advantage of this novel molecule comes from it having the same fatty acid that cells membranes do. This similarity, says Barnes, may allow the molecule to become part of a cell wall and protect the cell from internal ice crystal formation. Antifreeze molecules made of proteins may not fit into cell membranes.
"There are many difficult studies ahead," said Barnes. "To find out how common this biologic antifreeze is and how it actually prevents freezing and where exactly it’s located."
This project was led by Kent Walters at the University of Notre Dame with collaborators Anthony Serianni and John H. Duman of UND and Barnes and Sformo of UAF and was published in the Dec. 1 issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
No, not irrelevant. Termination of employment means a termination of responsibilities in both directions: the employer does not provide any services to you; and, you are not obligated to provide any services to the ex-employer. Those passwords are not the property of the employer; but merely a method for controlling the assets of the employer. The failure of the employer to implement methods to regain control of their assets is not the ex-employees problem.
I find your gullibility quotient to be a little high.

If your car leaves the road and is on fire, I would not call that an operating state. The cell phone jammers would be disabled. Try reading what I posted next time.
Not exactly. I am proposing we "raise the bar" for having the capability to use a cell phone while driving. Basically an arms race of cellular proportions. I did not state laws should be passed, fines levied, or active enforcement ; but a "passive" cellphone restraint system. Passive restraint systems are bypassed by creative people all the time. Thus providing a sort of intelligence test for being capable of driving and using a cellphone.
Enforcement or behavior modification thru financial disincentives are always ineffective because they rely on people. People don't want, and should not be required, to mitigate the incredible stupidity of other people.
Although the cost of a motor vehicle will increase, the solution is to install low power cell phone interference generators, multiple with redudancy and overlap, in all automobiles and other vehicles which use public roads. These devices would be active devices only when the vehicle is operating. This would not interfere with emergency calls since most emergencies should cause the vehicle to stop. The power should be kept very low; and the design should cause the system to burn out if creative people try to boost the power for creative purposes. Failure of the cell phone interference system should also cause the vehicle to fail annual inspection.
This won't stop creative people from using cell phones while driving. But it will stop your average, technically disinclined idiot who should not be driving and phoning.
If I want to listen to some young punk screaming obscenities at the top of his voice, I can find method where I don't have to pay for such abuse.
Now get off my lawn and stop doin' that twist thing with your hand by your ear. All that suggests is I should discharge a large firearm thru your ear to clear out those plastic things.
I accidentally stumbled across the Old Operating Theatre. Fascinating look at medicine from a time before modern medicine. Definitely worth the time and money.

Well, since values for the binary system can include 0 or 1
and the binary system has existed for a finite period of time, the value cannot be 0,
therefore the age of the binary system is 1.
Now we just have to determine a proper unit of measure for 1.
