I live far enough above seal level that I will be dead of old age long before the ocean sweeps me away. The rest of the world can deal with it. Sick of hearing about it, sick of sending money for 0 fucking results.
The government liked their 'jeep' design, but gave the design to Willys Overland and Bantam ended up making 2 wheeled jeep trailers. I guess the moral is "Don't promise something you can't deliver."
I would be perfectly happy letting a piece of software choose the goverment. As it is now we aren;t represented by the best person for the job, rather the person most able to gather votes.
It can't be expected that everyone will understand the vectors for infection. Part of the burden the IT staff carries is that people will do things to open the network environment to malicious attacks.
What worries me more is the fact that there are people in positions of responsibility who haven't a clue about security. The biggest blip on my radar screen is a local health care provider, the Director of the facility hired her boyfriend to be their I.T. guy. I witnessed this clown downloading cracked software and installing it on health center computers, he was all puffed up about his USB drive that had x number of gigabytes of utility software on it and he didn't have to pay anything! In hindsight I should have gone straight to the BIA or the CEO of the hospital, but I approached her off the record and she said she would deal with it (yeah, I am a naive trusting soul).
How about an ethics test for IT staffers in general to weed these scumbags out of the profession?

It's all been downhill since Commodore GEOS for me.
As long as the robot is more conscious, more capable and more creative than that tribe of genetic sludge I am all for robotics.

anything introduced after the blink tag was trashed is pure shite.
Bacon, it's your evolutionary duty!
If AI could develop a computer game that is enjoyable and bug free and doesn't require constant updates -- it would be worth the risk.
Why not just add a second, third, fourth .... arm and read/write heads, slap some more logic on the board to handle them?
Seems like a lot of trouble to go through for cat videos.
Look for a 1953 Oldsmobile powered by a Hellfire rocket motor on the next episode of Cuban Chrome.
There's a new Star Wars movie?

Don't take credit for other peoples work and more importantly don't let others take credit for your work.
