Finally, we have artificial hearts, something which governments will hate because old people will live longer being a drain on our society even longer...no offense, but all in all, if we see this happening, we need to have more also for muscles tissue regen. as there is nothing worse then being able to live longer with a new heart, but not having the muscles to get you around and being stuck in your bed or chair all the time...bicentennial man was a great movie that pointed out such possibilities within society, but they also had every other organ available, giving humans double the regular lifespan, 200 years or so i think...if i remember correctly.
Being a programmer myself, I think you would have to come up with a few more substantial points than what you list in order to get me to look at windows 7. Give off a list, a real list I mean, and then I might consider this, especially that you brought up the "i am a programmer card"....
The only thing I might see, is if the security was so substantial it removes the need for an AV, sort of like the way linux runs...
Until they actually come out with something that I need for my PC that is only in windows 7 or 8 etc....I will stick with xp. No need to improve on what is almost perfect, from a regular user's point of view. If they can prove to me (which they have yet to do) that 7 is so much more secure for x,y,z reason, and that i do not need an anti virus any longer because it is THAT secure.... or that the media center built in, comes with all the gadgets I need for my home theatre....which i get out of my vid card....why change??? Why pay more, when I have a non legit copy of xp....seriously, they need to move on from the model they USED to work and use back when 95 came out...xp was the last of its kind...to use that model and succeed. People now are more like linux users, want it for free and to run great for a very long time....
This is such a cool app, i want to know how far my GF is when she goes away....by the distance and minute.... >Bye dear........ >Ok.....500 feet, 1000 feet, 1500 feet.......ok cost is clear she is really gone now...., call up the buddies for some poker!
How long after the code was given to the Indian government that now it is in the wild with all sorts of hacks, atleast we know who we can point the finger at, and hopefully learn from this, that in future when they ask for code, just say "NO, dat is not vedy vedy nise!"
I always knew that my GF was busy playing with the remote when I was walking away, usually to play with the volume and I always thought this was why those dang commercials were always too loud, however, now I know better, and think this is a good thing, why should the commercials be so much louder then the show, I buy a TV to be set at a volume that I set it at, not to be changed half way through by someone who thinks I should hear something more then another.
I just hope that they are secure by default, being that before they added this, everyone was not seen (by name), and that now after adding this, that we should all still remain unseen until we chose not to be. Some companies M$, facebook, and others have had the stupid notion that when they ad a functionality like this, they start off by saying the default will be OPPOSITE of what you have been used to...so now we all have to log on and change stuff and waste time learning something that most do not need to learn for they will never change their privacy settings to OFF, or SHOW NAME.... just my 2 cents
I could have saved so much money for them had they just asked me. I would have shown them the victoria secrets catalog and told them, THIS is what makes women sexy and attractive. Seriously, that or live in brazil, one of those 2.
for the last time, latitude, and longitude, you will be able to remember it after the internet went down, if you took the time to view it on the map...as it does show you those coordinates, before typing them in.
even though you would use the image engine to see where your password could have , it would use a longitude and latitude, not a picture....but you already knew that.
This is coming after a command unit for created for "in case of" situation that we make first contact. What if we had made first contact, the team was thrown together in order to have some sort of order and the "others" have told us where they live (this planet), so we are now seeing the government leak out info slowly in increments to get us used to the idea that aliens are already here....
Then again, I watched too much xfiles when i was a kid.
I wonder if this could be used to enhance the nervous system, such as those stories of people with amazing levels of strength I think it might shed some light on this subject.
I laugh because when I watched the show, it reminded me of that report the guy that defected from the CIA wrote about how he could take down all of the US using certain vectors and targeting many of the supposed "mission critical" utilities companies that makes this country run. It ended up being a great story for die hard (the last one)....but also yes, I do agree, when I watched BSG, I thought, if your opponent is a computer, why would you use computers to win against him, that it could easily take control of....
As far as being dead on about needing to be off the grid (internet)....why would you want to have a control center for a nuclear reactor on a network that employees use to access their hotmail accounts. I think if you have a control center that takes care of a nuclear reactor, you do not want it to have anything to do with other systems, for the sake of failure...have a second computer in the control center that is made for communications, but that first one is only for running the reactor...without usb or cd roms etc...so that some bright individual does not get the temptation to use it for other things. That is all that really matters.
I heard of the 409 crew, or the shadow crew, hope it is not either, as some of them guys were pretty cool hackers, more do sh*t then destroy sh*t, show proof of concept stuff, instead of formatting your drives....
Step one, never ever, link a computer that is critical and or military in nature. We all hear never should any computer used to control the power grid be placed connected to the internet, follow this rule, as your #1 priority, then the rest follows, no matter how many times you fix it, it will return broken because you are connected to the biggest network of hackers of all, the internet...!
I think this is only the beginning, we all will at one point end up with a chip in our brain, to help us connect to a link in the near future that will replace totally what we know as the web. The web will still be there, but we will be able to access it via our chip, and make phone calls, etc...etc... a bit like the borg. This is the first step towards this....we allow a chip to help us with one part of our brain to communicate to another (whether it be from a disease or just to have quicker thought time)....
In the end, we are going towards a society of cyborgs, with fake hearts and lungs and livers...this is inevitable. My question is how and when will we start to change our daily routines to fit with this, if you need an MRI, you may not be able to get one, as the chip in your head would get damaged....or some cop wanting to use a tazer, will now be sued for using his tazer on someone who has an implant...etc...
I can not believe that a government would sit there and declare that this is not enough of a problem for them,aside their own network and not push for the ISPs to get involved. We all know hacking is an INTERNATIONAL past time, so why not monitor incoming international traffic, to filter through, say the chinese, and put blocks on those channels, that if you must , you would have to use a special proxy that is maintained by the ISPs themselves. This could not only limit torrent abuse, but also limit or control information flow to a certain extent. We have info overload right now, what would be so bad, to limit all the traffic to be local only to that continent.
I know what I am suggesting raises a few eyebrows, but think about it this way, if I never need to go to a chinese server to get a webpage, why give me access at all, and the reverse is true, if I have no outgoing traffic for china, why allow any incoming traffic, unless i fill a form to my ISP, asking that the vpn residing in china for my company is something i would like to have access to...this would soooooooo limit the amount of wasted bandwidth, and also hacking to a big percent, and also just good old fashioned traffic...no extra ping and echo packet requests to find out where to go, hopping here and there....
What about the people who have money in there stemming from previous deposits, such as inheritance etc....we are talking about wealthy families, not rich, but wealthy...(like kellog's or disney family)...what then, they would have to start proving everything to everyone about where the money cam from years ago, maybe even hundreds years ago, to account for all the money sitting there...the only people that should be allowed this list is the swiss bank it came from , as this is a swiss banking list not a uk banking list, and is their legal property...i do not understand even how the UK authorities were involved???
Me being Gmail, and seeing this would block all incoming attempts from china into whatever server that held the american accounts, say anyone not living in the us, can not access their us account, they would have to set up a foreign account (.ch for china i guess) Seriously, we need to worry about this now? Google has done such an awesome job, I would hate to think they have to start wasting money and resources to these types of problems.
I guess there will always be a way to hack, and there will always be ways to protect against....but my gmail is really only for me, and I guess if i travel overseas, and i am no longer on the american continent, then I should not have to worry about reaching my gmail from china. This could also force them to start using a lot more proxies like tor and such, but this would raise flags all over, and let you see more and more which are the proxy control centers coming out of china, then you cold shut them down...or ddos them or something...
I guess if the book contained info that could cost more in damages then it would cost to buy the first generation of this book (as second gen has omitted this info), it would be wise for tax payers to just know this, and realise what ever leak was there was just bypassed by scooping up every first gen books, and burning them, as long as there was no digital version of the book, which could have also been leaked then propagated endlessly on a torrent, then this would be pretty useless.
I guess you have to do,what you have to do even if it seems a little absurd.
I hope the can. gov. does not start to imitate their american cousins....i would hate to think that after 3 strikes, I would have to change companies over and again.
