Second best way is to impersonate the person that owns one. Sounds like what these guys did. However, according to TFA they were very patient and methodical, leading up to the assertion that they were 'cybercriminals' rather than state actors. Of course, the last time this weird dichotomy came up, the attackers were state actors because they were so patient and thus weren't plain ol criminals.
Sounds a bit clueless to me. Given the level of information we get from fine articles such as this, I have to wonder just what, if anything at all, really happened.
Best thing about the article is Sergey Golovanov's T-shirt.
The original acting was pretty bad as well. Not to mention the sets, the entire premise (Really, the Captain, First Officer and Chief Doctor of a star ship beams down to $random planet in T-shirts? What Starfleet manual did that come out of?).It was the time and place that made Star Trek what is was. This was 1966. We hadn't made it to the moon but NASA was on a roll. 2001 hadn't even hit the screens.
The stories really don't age well, the characters really don't age well and we sure the hell didn't age well.
Buy a company that spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on tooling....
Seriously, there are hundreds of companies that will do one-off builds of pretty much anything. It's expensive, but I'm not sure Apple is all that worried about it. Just pick your materials, wander around on the Internet until you find a vendor and email them the specs.
Even for hobbyist stuff you can get pretty nice custom panels and enclosures if you are willing to pay for it. Doesn't really make a lot of sense for one-off projects but if you are going to build a dozen of them, it's a no brainer. Custom fiberglass is really popular in the boating industry and you can get aircraft instrumentation panels that customized quite easily as well. It's a pretty big industry.
Not everything needs to be preserved for future historians. Mortality and the oblivion of time are fundamental aspects of the human condition; therefore, the things that do escape oblivion, like better literature and song and monuments, serves as a kind of immortality for men who achieved something worthwhile. Your tweets don't deserve that kind of glory.
Pretty much this. It is going to take millions of years to sort through the crap that is already here. Just wait until Web 3 or whatever is coming down the pike.
I think it's a bit of a different issue here. Notice these are pretty much all computer related firms. As we all know, many people in this field think anything can be fixed in the software.
Yeah, because disabling it in SOFTWARE makes it impossible for the tv to activate it when your not looking right? If you want to be totally safe, you need to cripple the hardware itself!
1. Take large roll of aluminum foil 2. Wrap TV carefully, don't allow any gaps 3. Take a small piece of foil, roll it up to look like a wire, tape it to the bigger piece (use duct tape here), and push it into the GROUND line of your wall outlet. 4. The GROUND line, stupid.
When I first came here, this was all just ocean. Everyone said I was daft to build a landing platform in the ocean but I built in all the same, just to show them. It blew up. So I built a second one. That sank and blew up.. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the ocean. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest landing barge in all of the Atlantic ocean.
I find that taking everything with a grain of salt and not jumping on a bandwagon solely because it supports my views a good precursor to not being too confused or tossed back and forth.
Try taking information in moderation - its good for you.
It's funny how states that allow most citizens to carry concealed handguns don't have a problem with bad guys grabbing someone's phone, knocking them over, and trying to run off.
I wonder if CA, NY, and the rest of them will ever figure out that "An armed society is a polite society."
Heinleinesque fantasies aside, there is absolutely no reasonable data to suggest that people who carry concealed weapons are any safer than not. For every failed attempted cell phone theft, I would raise you an accidental shooting. Neither are common, however. You want polite? Carry the weapon out in the open. For this, I recommend a nice short sword. Decorative, a wonderful fashion statement. No reloading necessary. Practicing requires aerobic exertion (although not so much strength). Doubles as a cane for emergencies. Bonus points for LED lights on the scabbard (we can start a new craze).
The real take home lesson for this is not to put much faith in any observational study. Such studies typically inflate the magnitude of the putative effect (both for 'good' and 'bad'), typically use inappropriate statistical methodology and suffer from various well known sources of bias (as noted in TFA).
Unfortunately, it makes progress in the medical field very slow and inconsistent since good studies are difficult to impossible to do. Basically, you're gonna die at some point. Within some broad levels of moderation, do what makes you happy. Imbibe what ever makes you feel good.
Don't sweat the details. Even though we live in a world with horrible chemicals, air pollution, endocrine disrupters, radiation, GMOs and PETA most of the Western world is living longer and healthier than ever. Not that there aren't problems with the world - presumably we can do better, but the constant drumbeat of falling skies can safely be ignored.
Strangely enough, there is this concept called THE FUCKING ARTICLE which often (but not always, this is Slashdot after all) contains useful hints about WHAT THE ARTICLE IS ABOUT.
After that, it's all reading comprehension and a few minutes using your Internet-search-engine-of-choice.
The term "Uncanny Valley" has nothing to do with Pixar nor computer animation - it was originated by Masahiro Mori long before and is related to robotics.
The part about Campbells' Soup didn't give you much of a jump on things, did it?
But then everyone, from a datacenter manned by competent people to Homer Simpson has the functional equivalent of a bomb. Everywhere. A manageable solution, but not an easily managed solution.

Now, get off my deflector shield.
My god. You've manage to Rule 34 this discussion.
I am totally impressed.
You may be more correct than you think - yes, we've allowed everyone to get a driver's license.
No, civilization is not the better for it.
Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.
This is by design. They don't want to put them there in case Godzilla returns.

We need to hit the delete key even harder.
So close and yet so far away. I really don't understand what the issue is. The US Federal government has offered to copy everything at no (further) expense.
What is the matter with you people? Don't you understand help when it drops on top of you like a piano?

We're making a Faraday cage here. Bonus points - You don't have to watch '50 Shades of Grey'.

Where I live, ambulance paramedics speaking three languages would be a minimum. Four languages would be for common.
Where I live, most EMTs speak two languages, English and bad English.

That's OK. Mine started playing "Beverly Hillbillies".

You guys still running this thing on Malda's old netbook?

At the pace that pilot is going (I just watched the first little bit), this series could end up with a run time of several hundred years.
Let's move it, people.
