It's not going to work for games that need super low latency but satellite delivers decently high speed for everything else.
You really can't fault the cable/DSL service providers for not investing tons of money expanding their wired networks out to the sticks if the number of additional subscribers they will get will not pay for said network expansion.
Sounds like if we feel the lack of high speed internet for rural folks is a big societal problem, then it would have to be the government that makes the investment. But most rural folks also hate the government so that might not go over well.
The medical literature clearly indicates that the US is one of the few western countries remaining that routinely extracts nearly all asymptomatic wisdom teeth.
There is no medical reason why this is necessary unless the teeth are severely impacted or arranged in such a way that it is difficult to brush them.
Yet wisdom teeth extraction is a huge multibillion dollar industry for the dentistry practice in the US.
All of the cracking events you read about are done through social engineering and sloppy security practices.
False. As I stated, many of the attacks involve sophisticated ways to simply bypass the encryption, rather than cracking it directly. These attacks are neither social engineering or because the vendor had sloppy security. Their security would in most cases stop 99.9% of attacks. However a government with essentially unlimited money to throw at it is another story.
None of them happen because state-of-the-art encryption is cracked. That doesn't happen.
Also false. I think you need to read some of the recent NSA disclosures. Widespread successful attacks against VPN and SSL are already becoming somewhat commonplace in intelligence. Vendors are having to accelerate the transition to new protocols compared to what the state of things were just a few years ago.
It's been common wisdom for years that with physical access to the device and unlimited time and resources, almost all encryption schemes can be defeated. In many cases this might simply mean using a mechanism to bypass the encryption rather than defeating it through brute force. But the fact is, regardless of what protections they have, devices have to ultimately present the data to the user unencrypted to actually use it. So there is usually always some kind of way in.
Right now the long pole in manned Mars surface missions is not rocket launch technology, it is Mars surface survival.
What kind of structure will people live in on Mars? How will it land? Heavy large structures that would be required for human habitation have not been landed on Mars to date and that is quite tricky.
How will the people live there? What kind of suits and structures will they use for radiation protection? For oxygen and water generation? For food production?
Obviously all of these problems have been addressed on ISS but only in the sense of solutions that can be relatively quickly resupplied from earth which won't be the case with a Mars surface mission.
I have been requested by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company to contact you in the hope that we may be of assistance to you. Your countrymen are quite distressed at the reporting we have read which states that you are being held and are in need of funds to make bail. We can help you in this matter. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company has recently concluded a large number of contracts for oil exploration in the sub-Sahara region. The contracts have immediately produced moneys equaling US$1,500,000. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company is desirous of oil exploration in other parts of the world, however, because of certain regulations of the Nigerian Government, it is unable to move these funds to another region.
You assistance is requested as a Nigerian citizen to assist the Nigerian National Petroleum Company, and also the Central Bank of Nigeria, in moving these funds out of Nigeria. If the funds can be transferred to your name, to your United States account, then you can forward the funds as directed by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company. In exchange for your accommodating services, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company would agree to allow you to retain 10%, or US$150,000 of this amount. This should be enough for you to post bond.
However, to be a legitimate transferee of these moneys according to Nigerian law, you must presently be a depositor of at least US$10,000 in a Nigerian bank which is regulated by the Central Bank of Nigeria.
If it will be possible for you to assist us with this initial required deposit, we would be most grateful and can proceed with the funds transfer. Please call me at your earliest convenience at 18-467-4975. Time is of the essence in this matter; very quickly the Nigerian Government will realize that the Central Bank is maintaining this amount on deposit, and attempt to levy certain depository taxes on it.
Virtually all respected colleges and universities with any sort of historically recognized quality are non-profit.
For-profit universities (if they can even be called that) are in many cases little more than diploma mills. The primary goal is to move bodies through the system as efficiently as possible and extract the maximum payment, not provide a usable education.
Private schools want profit first and everything else, like actual education, third.
Nope, what you described are for-profit schools. There are plenty of non-profit private schools that provide a great education and value their standards highly.
For people that have a good experience in college, the piece of paper means very little.
I didn't take college that seriously at first, and I almost flunked out, (but I did barely squeak by after I started doing better my later years).
But like the OP said, college is just as much (if not more) about what you learn outside the classroom. It's about shaping your mind to critically evaluate things, learning social skills, learning teamwork, teaching yourself how to function independently, etc.
I have no doubt of the fact that I would be gainfully employed even if I had flunked out given the magnitude to which those other learning experiences have impacted my life for the positive.
In an office, you might have a problem when the cleaning person tries to empty it. However, no worries since Apple products aren't often found in offices that can afford a cleaning person.
I see just as many Macs as PCs at my company and we have multiple cleaning people that clean every day.

There are real tangible benefits to running a private email server if you are looking for more privacy for your email.
That is, unless you are in a government job.

How many of these testers have achieved penetration before?
That's 1 million Libraries of Congress!!
Ah yes, I now have access. Very interesting. He was talking with Gr.........NO CARRIER
did you not even read the summary?
You must be new here.
The rocket is not in question.

Could someone explain the summary in plain English?
It sounds like something bad happened to someone important but other than that I have absolutely no idea what it is saying.
It's not really surprising considering that NASA's annual budget is more than triple what Roscosmos' budget is.

I heard that $640 was enough for anyone.
Wanna cyber?
Show me everything baby, I wanna see it ALL. :D
They have consulted a coder on the idea and he is currently working on the implementation.
It remains to be seen how this will turn out.
I'm a gay nerd.

Um...the quality of the videos this produces would not even by close to what a 100k film camera produces.
Resolution != image quality
NASA contracted the space suit for the Apollo program to the firms Hamilton Standard and International Latex Corporation.
Except when the government is doing it.
You must be a big hit at parties.
