" We used to build roads from A to B. Now we construct transportation infrastructure with environmental, social, economic, and political impacts. "
Even the ancient Romans understood the social, economic, and political impact of the roads they built all over Europe.
We have always understood those things and as time goes forward so have we. Law professors study social impacts of passing new laws and how you can and can't change society by laws.
I get the feeling that the author isn't very well educated and then just had a epiphany he thought nobody had thought of before him.
RedPhone is only for Android although iPhone compatible version exists. But this is not what I was talking about.
The problem is that there is no telephony system that you can use cross-platform, that is open source and the clients are easy to install and use for the average user.
No other heavily-used protocols have this problem, FTP, HTTP, SMPT, DNS, Torrent, Cloud Storage, VPN, SSH all have cross-platform, free and open source clients that are easy to set up and use for the average user. Telephony is the handicapped service on the internet
The main problem, as I see it, is the SIP protocol and the design mistake of relying on IP addresses in the application layer.
... is using bash scripts to generate web content in 2014?
Look, there is a bug, obviously, but to say that it is "remotely exploitable" is a half-truth, and that it is "on level with or worse than heartbleed" is nonsense.
There are a lot of things that need to "line up" in order for this to be remotely exploitable.
I've been hearing all this about the much vaunted chops of these Russian coders, but frankly I don't ever see it.
There is also the possibility that the project was sabotaged by an external actor.
Maybe it is a coincidence but the one who profits the most from this failure is the same as has been working hard during the last 10 years to get rid of the Galileo program and is also the same nation as is known for being the most technically capable in electronic warfare/hacking.
I have seen so many projects that started as "community data gathering" projects and then went commercial and stopped providing free access when some business wanted to buy them.
So just how "Open" is "OpenStreetMap"?
Can I download the data and set up my own server in case OpenStreetmap closes it's free access?
This is sad news. the PC market has so far been the one who has driven development and innovation.
Want a bigger disk? Buy a bigger disk and put it in your PC!
Want more memory? Buy more memory and put it in your PC!
Want a faster CPU? Buy a faster CPU and put it in your PC!
Want a faster GPU to play games? Buy a faster graphics card and put it in your PC!
The rest of the market, phones, tablets and consoles is all "consumer packaged components" which are not replaceable or upgradeable.
The whole AMD/Intel war would not have happenbed without the PC.
For the last 5-8 years there has been an ever increasing pressure on companies to "do more with less", "document operations" and "create procedures", i.e. to "streamline" all the "cost" centers of the organisation. IT is generally viewed as a "cost center" That is: costs money and does not create any output for the company.
This has led to a mindset where the whole of IT has been defined in terms of "projects" with inputs and outputs and companies want to "buy talent instead of careers" meaning that the company wants your work but not you as a person.
This has then led to companies running most things on "temporary staff" like consultants and contractors.
The effect this has had on IT is that knowledge about the infrastructure, systems, their quirks and how everything works together is not retained in the company and IT operations down to the little details are defined by non-IT people who think in terms of "procedures" "inputs" and "outputs".
So when you see something like "System administrator wanted, has to know XYZ operating system version 10,04 LTR, and the systems HPBS and VLSN" you can be sure that this requirement was written by a non-it person who thinks in terms of "inputs" to a problem.
So, just involuntary and ignorant violations, then.
I see what you did here and more people should be doing this, listen to what words he uses and then think, "why is he using these words and could he be trying to sidestep the truth with the use of selected words."

I doubt a code-review would find any of these.
That is about 9500 days Iceland has Powered Itself Using Only Renewable Energy.
I will try it out.
But there is no open source server-side yet.

The main problem, as I see it, is the SIP protocol and the design mistake of relying on IP addresses in the application layer.
Almost no one has a public IP address directly on their workstation at home and it is preventing free open source telephone to be widely adopted.
What is needed is a telephony protocol that and can easily be proxied or tunneled and/or that does not need extra measurements for surviving NAT.
and what's the issue here? Trade secrets, private matters, and gossip.

Am I correct in that this is *the* Cryengine, which was developed between 2001 and 2004?
The landscape has changed.

The car will now require an always on connection to work.
Not only that, but you will be committing a crime if you modify your car so that it doesn't require an active internet connection.
Once again, the criminals will be the only ones to have what they want.

What you are saying is that my free speech stops where your hurt feelings begin?
Your freedom stops where other people's hurt feelings begin.

Actually, without government subsidies, corn-based ethanol would not be economically feasible fuel.
