Take this with a grain of salt. After all, this was the keynote speech at Splunk's 2013 Conference, and Winter's solution is embracing big data, which just happens to be Splunk's market. I was at last year's conference, and there was a vaguely detectable reality distortion effect during the keynote speeches - the usual preaching-to-the-converted you tend to get at this type of event.
Don't get me wrong, Splunk is a great tool for security. But this smacks of an advert disguised as news.
Splunk's licensing is very expensive. It's the usual trade-off of $$ vs security.
Yeah, and there's lithium batteries. Lithium + Water = Big Explosions. The only useful information here is that fire crews need to be better trained to deal with electric cars.
Just as well they don't make LiPo batteries from pure lithium then. I use LiPo batteries for RC planes a lot, and one recommended way of safely discharging batteries for disposal is to drop them in a bucket of water for a day or so. This prevents thermal runaway, which is the big danger when you get internal shorts in a LiPo cell, and is probably what happened to the crashed Tesla.
They'd be pretty stupid to have a columnated beam that went cuts anywhere along it's length, with only attenuation being the limiting factor. I suspect it's deliberately designed with a short focal length so that it's easy to keep objects at the focus of the beam, and to make it more efficient / less dangerous.
Gotta love how pedantic comments like yours get modded up on/.
The naval yard shooter, who filed a police report in August, 2013, claiming to be the victim of harassment and was hearing voices in his head, who had also claimed that he was being stalked in an organized manner by a group of three people who were using invisible, electronic means and preventing him from sleeping, and who had been to a VA hospital emergency room seeking assistance with sleeping problems, was legally allowed to purchase and own guns.
This is despite his criminal record, including prior 8 citations for misconduct, being arrested for discharging a weapon within city limits, and being arrested for malicious mischief after shooting out the tires of another man's vehicle in what he later described as the result of an anger-fueled blackout.
But let's not discuss gun control. Let's get more people armed and carrying in public.
And fuck your foreign nosiness. If you don't like our Constitution and/or our laws then stay the hell away from us. We don't give a shit what you think about the way we run our country.
If you don't give a shit then why the flaming response? Your reply is almost a caricature of the attitude I'm talking about, so you could be a troll. Sadly though, I doubt it.
Do you realize how WTF that sounds to people outside the US? If you bring weapons to work you should be arrested. Fuck your 2nd amendment, or at least the batshit-insane interpretation of it you guys base your laws on.
Given that NZ is a willing partner in the "Five Eyes" SIGINT hoovering operation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UKUSA_Agreement , I'd imagine the yanks are pretty worried about losing access to a shit-load of data. I wonder if NZ will get any political currency from keeping The Commies at bay - free-trade agreement, anyone?
It's not as conspiracy-theory cool as magical backdoors implanted in every piece of hardware, but this is how the NSA actually breaks into systems... they do it the same way everyone else does, just on a much larger scale and with even less fear of legal repercussions that the cyber criminals.
And since the CAs have been co-opted, SSL is laughable. Try Steve Gibson's cert "fingerprint" service and see for yourself. I tried it, and he gets a different cert for www.google.co.nz than I do. Is it the NSA? Who knows, but someone is up in my business >:-(
Cool. Let's stop trying to improve on existing technology then. All those people living in less fortunate countries than Australia and trying to get by on a few dollars a day? Fuck 'em, I can afford the existing tech, that's all that matters. As long as the Chinese don't mind destroying their environment and paying shit wages so I can have cheap imports, I'm happy.
I came across the trailer for Superhot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYAUlPMqnKk the other day - a FPS where time only passes when you move. Sort of a Braid/Max Payne mashup.

Show me where Apple have crossed the ethical lines ?
How about posing as police to search someone's home?
I read that as "You can relace girls with Google", and thought "Sounds like my sex life, alright"
If only I was joking *sigh*

It's a typical BS false-dichotomy that's trotted out to drum up support. Sadly, it's very easy to find instances of it quoted in the media since 9/11
Hang on.
*scribbles on notepad*
I'm just checking your math on that. Yes, I got the same thing.
I deny that I have not avoided attaining the opposite of that which I do not want.quote>
But if you try sometimes, you get what you need.
Woosh
This topic came up on QI the other day. It's thought the oldest profession is actually flint knapping.
Is there nothing the meatspace police can do? Stalking is stalking, regardless of the methods used. The intent is the same.

I take it you're from Chicago? Killing meatspace hookers is frowned upon where I live.

They're called snakes.
Too right. "I'm sick of these motherfucking legless lizards on this motherfucking plane" just doesn't have the same zing to it.
Women can hate humanity just as well as men can.
I see you've met the ex?
If you're a Firefox user, give the Hola plugin a whirl ;-) Works for me.

Oh really? I don't see "everyone else" spending millions to deliberately subvert encryption standards , either.

Or when the NSA considers everyone a potential bad guy.
