How so? The original site is down, the site that talks about it doesn't exactly receive 2 million hits a day, and random whining on Slashdot really means very little.
So I'm just wondering where this "Streisand Effect" is going to take place? Facebook? My understanding is Slashdot readers don't use Facebook...
The camera SYSTEM isn't connected to the Internet.
That's what they say...
But then how is the camera data communicated to the Mother Ship?
Of course they are connected to some kind of Intranet perhaps? And is this Intranet "air gapped"? Doubtful.
Or perhaps they are connected by some big network of coax? Yeah, I don't think so either.
They have their own ethernet strung all over the country? Nope...
Or maybe by cell network? Oh, that would be received by some network connected phone device at the Mother Ship.
My guess is these things are connected to the Internet and the spokesperson has no idea what they are talking about. I don't doubt that a USB was the infection vector, but the rest of it is ignorant.
My guess is it's not "covert" if you follow city politics and the city council approval at public meetings necessary to buy and install this technology.
I mean Cisco don't HAVE to sell to Russia and Russia doesn't have to buy their stuff.
Corporations like Cisco do not have an allegiance except to the dollar.
How about a Hitler analogy: If Hitler were alive and a rising star in Germany today Cisco would be all over it providing the infrastructure for the IoT computer network for the ovens...
If they want to give the Russians access, it would be wise to also give more source access to friendly eyes, such as Western security experts, along with some bug bounties to incentivise them.
Who says they haven't? My guess is the NSA has looked at the code...
This guy is wasting his time possibly in the hopes that they will pay him to go away.
As others have pointed out, they sell the industry standard. No one who buys a 2x4 expects it to be 2x4 because that would not be the accepted industry standard.
Now, I don't know this, but I feel almost certain that such standards are in fact codified. There is almost certainly some ISO standard, or something else like that.
The lawyer is a sleaze bag who probably isn't smart enough to be a patent troll.
"Worked in user support" - So basically you have a high school education, spend most of your time playing games, think of yourself as an IT professional but are actually just a help desk monkey who thinks he knows better than an CS grad who actually knows how to design something? Guys like you think getting laid is when you wank to Japanese Tentical Porn.
But the younger people these days neither care too much about Windows or Linux; they are much more interested (and knowledgeable) in coding Android apps
Is she saying their IT staff spend most of their time coding Android apps? Or that they can't hire IT staff because they all want to code Android apps?
No, I don't believe that in the entire country of Germany, Munich can not recruit competent IT staff that will pur down their Android app develpment during work hours.
I had a '73 LTD, that thing was a tank. Power everything and heated seats... So big, the corners had rubber bumpers because you just couldn't see them.
I see a business opertunity where a company - perhaps a not-for-profit - crates a phone center in some state that takes long distance calls from Inmates and forwards them to their "loved ones". Of course this will require registration, perhaps by the inmates lawyer of family to prevent inmate scams... The cost could be kept low because of not-for-profit status, certainly it could be done for less than the Phone Company Scammers.
I am taking this time as the First Post, to let all the cutting edge Slashdotters in on my upcoming Kickstarter campaign that will leverage the great advances in pneumatic computing with the synergy of large atomic colliders the synergize time travel technology with malt liquor and cocaine. Please join me at Kickstarter to Kickoff this mind-blowing opportunity for me to own one hell of a fast cigarette boat tied up soon-to-be headquarters in Miami, Florida. This canâ(TM)t fail, all development will be done on swanky super thin solid titanium laptops designed in Palo Alto. There will also be free Throwback Mountain Dew, and foos ball tables and lots of drug-fueld group sex.

How about you just be a little more respectful?
How about you pour some hot grits down your boxer shorts?
An agreement was entered upon. It doesn't matter what the law is as long as there was an agreement. IAAL and this is how it works.
Web site "terms of service" are about as enforceable as click-threw EULAs.
IANAL, but I keep hearing this thing about parody being some kind of "protected class", so maybe as all the Slashdot Pundits say, "suck on it!"
You have a memory leak...
via USB sticks would be my guess
So some guy goes around to every camera every day and downloads the day's results? I don't think so.

These are reasonable requests and fit perfictly within the Open Source paradigm. So what's the issue?
Oh, yeah it's Russia...
In fact, here's some linkies:

I don't really think one needs to go much farther...

Clearly this guy forgot to grease the right palms like having a membership at Mar-a-Lago...
OH. MY. GOD!
BBC1 put up a message apologising for the fault and played saxophone music.
It had better have been the Smooth Jazz Pink Floyd Greatest Hits...
I'm sure there are a few of the CIA "incubator" businesses that have stuff on GitHub.
By-the-by, is Sorceforge not a thing anymore?
I also didn't RTFM to find out, but I'm doing so now...
I'm eating a chocolate bar and contemplating masturbating in the men's room.
(C-130, C-17 for example),
There are no C-17's that have been sold to the civilian market, indeed the production line is / has shut down.

Yes, yes, I know, "Apple's Walled Garden, blah, blah, blah..." Haters will hate.
But what about Android? As far as this particular metric, I'm gussing it's not exclusive to iDevices...
But the younger people these days neither care too much about Windows or Linux; they are much more interested (and knowledgeable) in coding Android apps

Published source makes it a lot easier to spot problems with the code.
Who's to say that what is published is what is actually under the hood?

Common pneumatic computers...carburetors.
Well, I am passing a lot of gas here.
You had me at pneumatic, where is the signup button?
Hell, yeah, we're going to have a lot of fun blowing all this cash out my ass.
