The rationalism is probably something like this: we need revenue (don't want to be banned) and people will ummm, maybe, ok-- try to find ways around the censorship.
10.5 is now out of long term support for the most part, and subsequent versions past 10.7 ignore the hosts file like a gun control advocate ignores the NRA.
It's speculation on a good day. The redness of Mars comes from iron. Spin iron and it magnetizes. Do this for 4+ billion years, and good grief, you get magnetized iron. There is no cogent forensic evidence of a magnetosphere on Mars.
This earth trapped its water, and melting ice asteroid/meteorites filled it with water, I'm guessing, by plowing into it, thus causing the expansion of the Pangean continent. There's this 36000' deep trench, called the Mariana. Plates shifted, much water melted from a meteor or two, and the existing developing atmosphere, coupled to melting asteroid, give this planet what's now a habitable atmosphere.
"Oceans on Mars" is still speculation. Might have been a sea, but nothing like what's here. Evaporation bubbled the rest off, what with no real atmosphere to make clouds, and the needed condensation cycles to send it back to the surface,
Perhaps simple answers, but we humans tend to anthropomorphize everything, including wanting to make other planets like earth.... and they're not, and efforts to extrapolate seem to fail.
The problem here isn't that you get a choice, once you get the cookie; it's not really curable unless you actively get rid of it, and protect yourself actively from swallowing it, when placed on a myriad of sites. We shouldn't really have to do this to protect privacy, but this is what supercookie payloads are about: persistence.
Microsoft Windows and Mac OSX no longer respect a host file, so you must find other ways of routing their IPs to localhost. It's nasty out there.
Seems most automobile makers will now be subject to advanced testing methodologies. I'm not so sure that this incestuous bunch will emerge untarnished.
If this gets a lot of engineering departments back to the drawing boards, we'll know soon by delays in 2016 models. Then the excrement will hit their stocks as they lose sales. Sit still and watch.
I otherwise am of the firm belief that so long as a machine is connected to the Internet, or we can hear the keyclicks nearby, that it's total folly to believe any data is safe, many air gaps included. There's a variant of Murphy's Law stated thusly: with a big enough hammer, you can break anything.
Perhaps your router was slipstreamed some code enroute to the data center. Maybe it was your little RAID 6 array. Perhaps the kernel has had a long dormant back door or nice stack overflow to hijack. Ever plugged in your smartphone to your machine to maybe, synch something?
My guess is that in one way or another, we're all already infected, it's just a matter of hassle to get what's needed by those desiring to smash you. You may believe this to be dystopian, but once you take a long look at the CVEs out there, multiply them by two for the probably-unknowns, and even machines living their life solely in Faraday cages become suspect.
Hmmm. Common Carrier, Commercial Livery, competition with the USPS, FedEx, UPS, and DHL. Add in liability insurance costs, possible theories about CDLs for certain products, and let's see how far this one gets. Novel idea.... but they battle titans and their supply chain.
And none of the movies looks to underlying factors, like poverty, addiction, mental cases with weapons, peer pressures, gang influences, inability to buy legal help/get actual justice, etc.
The PreCrime motives are unconstitutional, although conspiracy is fair game.
Nobody knows WTF is inside of a container except the person that built it, and no one knows if they MD5'd the contents, used all of the appropriate checked libs, and made sure that processes/confs/symlinks that were unnecessary were removed from the container. The same needs to be done to hypervised VMs. You can MD5 the container once built, but then checking to see if something ugly's been added isn't simple.
Then there's the job of doing update/patch/fix, and ensuring that those payloads have a chain of course/authorities. Lacking that, downloading a container is a serious gamble, IMHO.
And the acceleration g-forces, coupled to the de-accelaration forces means you have five minutes during the flight to go to the loo. Please don't stand in the aisles whilst you wait.
It's a glossy HuffPoTech article, has a few interesting examples, but is not a deep dive on the subject by anyone's estimation. This said, slashdot geeks would enjoy more depth in this area. After all, we're geeks, coders, and engineers.
Damaging satellites then becomes the crux of military offense/defense, and humanity fights itself in the skies, via robots. New satellite defense mechanisms, being necessary to prevent becoming jacked, start to add to the costs of weight, payload, basic capex, and so forth. The space race becomes vastly more complex. Oh joy. Oh funding.
Never ascribe to the sins of MBAs what is just rotten network quality. Crappy cable, overused segments, ugly routing, aperiodic surges, home network congestion, ugly routers, all these things have a bearing on overall throughput. In DSL, the sins are only slightly different. Fiber means nothing if you're sharing the same backhaul with two dozen Netflix instances.
Don't take this to say I'm defending telcos and cable providers in any way. I'm saying that it's not necessarily the pencil pushers. They don't over-scrutinize bandwidth, rather, they don't like paying for huge amounts of infrastructure until they either get complaints, or get goaded by a public utilities authority to upgrade their stuff-- often due to rampant user complaints. It's not necessarily about shareholder revenue, although that's part of it. Instead, there are all sorts of realworld problems inherent in networks to deal with, too.
Don't be silly. Google couldn't monetize it. Takes a lot of work, and produces no revenue. Android was designed to boost ad revenues, which is their core money maker. Google Play makes revenue, but does Google own music, media, and other intangible property for phones? No-- just the YouTube banner ads and the sponsored results of search.
Apple has a pretty fat wad of cash by understanding somewhat benign monetizing of services. Google is not so smart.... or honest, IMHO.
Services and products are whimsical, unsupported and have comparatively poor customer service. Now, even the Google driverless car initiative faces $60 kits that stop their cars cold because, yeah, they thought of *security first*.
The dictators above are not our monkeys and not our circus, but by using the ostensible moral hand, US business profits by condemnation, isolation, and sanctions against these and others. They're the ones paying Washington the non-tax, campaign-funding and lobbying revenues.
Foreign policy is for no moral gain, rather, profit. Make no allusions to the contrary: this is not about morality or democracy, this is about control and manipulation. Hue and cry otherwise is to play to the flag-wavers, and low IQ.
Somehow, these agencies believe they've been given carte blanche, and they have not. They react to assertions that they don't have carte blanche in really rough and startling ways.
And many of us unrelentingly believe that tracking and spying is wrong, counter to liberty, and at least in the US, not constitutional for many reasons. The net is cast too widely, and as a result, the innocent are besmirched by it.
Held in escrow, it makes sense, but political decisions are whimsical at best these days. Poised towards a third party, the escrowed funds might also build against inflation, too. Cheaper's not necessarily better, when the post-acquisition costs are born by the public, rather than the purchaser and vendor.
The cost of devolution/recycling ought to be included in the price of the initial sale of the product. Then, vendors would be more conscious (I hope) of finding equitable recycling methods. I wonder some days, just how many recycled products we buy, like the refurb hard drives that vendors used to put into notebooks and desktop machines so as to keep their costs low.
Except for "dead" there are no diagnostics, bare minimum troubleshooting, perhaps in a language understandable by civilians, and depot repair-- often at considerable expense.
We're a one-shot, throw-away world, where recycling is an afterthought, let alone, repurposing items.... or doing software/firmware updates, etc. Unless you mine ostensibly dead products for parts, they're not easily reclaimed somehow. As you cite, the labor bill becomes expensive, rather tenable, so a huge aftermarket now exists for re-manufacturing/refurbishing stuff, along with the websites that are filled with these things. The only people having fun are the freight forwarders.
But what of the parts? What did it die of? Trauma? Old age? Can it be fixed?
Yeah, no one wants to fix a $250 computer. Devolving it back into constituent parts for recycling is also devilishly difficult. If your warranty doesn't replace it, then you're screwed, and must dispose of it and buy a replacement, perhaps in that order.
User-replaceable parts are now at a minimum, down to the battery. The secondary repair business is becoming larger, but not necessarily with a vendor's help. Try getting an out of warranty notebook repaired. Or a tablet.... or a phone. It shouldn't have to be this way, but the consumerism element, buy buy buy, disciplines supply chains in a detrimental way--- detrimental to hackers, makers, hams, burners, whatever.
But they don't even do that-- want to earn any revenue on modders. Think of how many electronic devices you have in your house this moment, and how many of those vendors supply a schematic. In days gone by, vendors would include a schematic in the manual or glued to the back of a washing machine or inside of a TV set. No more.
They want to control their entire revenue stream, and that doesn't mean give information to third parties.

It works on 10.5. Not on 10.8 and above (non-server editions).
10.5 is now out of long term support for the most part, and subsequent versions past 10.7 ignore the hosts file like a gun control advocate ignores the NRA.
Um, no.

This presumes that the instance's NON-INTERNET-FACING side is secure, and don't be so assured that it is.
