Given that the course of hypersonic research has acknowledged both of these concerns, why have several countries started testing the weapons?"
Because every country has a Military Industrial Complex that needs to be fed, and every country has people that... well in the words of General "Buck" Turgidson: "Mr. President, we must not allow a mineshaft gap!"
So asking questions like "Why?" is silly, it's obvious why.
The problem (for me) with my Nexus tablet is that it relies on wireless, and while WiFi is available in a lot of places it isn't everywhere, a phone is connected all the time and so makes a more "usable" device.
Yes I know the Nexus tablet has a cell version... read on...
If my Nexus could be connected all the time via my phone plan (a single bill) with unlimited data instead of %$^#&@* cheap ass way they handle tablet plans I would never leave home without it.
I think the biggest problem for mobile tech moving forward is connectivity, who controls that connectivity, and how much it cost.
With data caps and throttling the few folks that have unlimited plans mobile just sucks IMO.
Get rid of the greedy termites in control of the pipes and we can have something good.
Google Glass will get your ass kicked, and no one is "buying" a driverless car, the cars would be deployed like taxis, there for you to use but not belonging to you.
Oh and just because they want the stuff entered in electronically doesn't mean they don't have the paper, it has to go somewhere prior to going on the computer.
And the VA is a dinosaur, and an ineffectual one at that, one of my relatives works there and frequently complains about it.
We were talking main stream health care, not dark ages.
First lets go back and look at the original premise.
easy and fast access to medical information often trumps security."
I think you can have both.
The hospital I worked at had a book at the nurses desk with all the orders for each patient from the doctor, as well as the drugs, whatever set up you're talking about about has nothing to do with security or the system, it has to do with human error as you would never rely solely on an electronic system in a hospital, if they are they are batshit crazy.
That is a one off, not a system wide thing, just read it and see they use the words "may have" quite a bit. This:
No, it's not, at least for inpatients. Some hospitals require that all orders be entered electronically unless the entire system is down. Try getting a verbal or handwritten order entered at the VA, even in the midst of a crisis. Even if you're not physically in the hospital.
Has nothing to do with what we were talking about.
I wrote all this out once and it's gone now, I sure hope it was a submission error on my part, hate to think someone deleted a post.
Hospitals and doctors already have access to records, however the systems holding the records are the target.
So why can't those systems be secure and available?
There was a study a few years ago in which a hospital tried an electronic records system in a pediatric ICU, and the death rate went up. The system was too hard to use. Instead of just writing a prescription on a prescription pad, they had to log into the system and go through screens.
Yeah I don't buy that at all, and you give no link to back up your claim. I worked in a hospital that had an electronic records system and a computer in each room, but the drugs for the patients were also listed in a book at the nurses station. And each nurse/doctor knew what thier patients needed, most certainly in an ICU. Especially this part

You're correct in one sense, they aren't recording (storing) literally everything, of course you knew that and chose to nitpick a conversational error.
The data center is alleged to be able to process "all forms of communication, including the complete contents of private emails, cell phone calls, and Internet searches, as well as all types of personal data trails—parking receipts, travel itineraries, bookstore purchases, and other digital 'pocket litter'."[7]
I don't know what it is with people like you, you seem to want to argue over scraps of nothing, ignoring the real point. I've discussed this sort of behavior with numerous people and they see it too, people like you and your type of thinking seem to be growing in number, this inability to do anything long term, to focus on the actual discussion, or read anything more than 145 characters.
You know as well as I do they aren't recording literally everything, they aren't recording that YouTube video you just watched, but they probably do know which one, and when, and from what IP, those sorts of details. They have exabyte capacity at one data center, God knows how much more...
But you, you want to focus on the word "everything" to take it literally and they say "you're crazy" as though that invalidates the entire point I was trying to make.
What makes you think doubting everything in the absence of specific affirmative evidence is at all a useful exercise?
So I give you examples of "specific affirmative evidence" and how do you respond?
Old news virtually everyone here knows well.
Well if it's old news that "everyone here knows well" why did you make the first statement?
You try to change the focus of the conversation, you use fallacious arguments and contradict your own statements, you can't carry a coherent thread, you have no point.
I won't respond to anymore of your post, you're an idiot.
Loss of Trust: Information provided by Edward Snowden
Those are singular examples to the issues I spoke of, there are many, many more. In addition, only a small percentage of data has been released to the public from the "Snowden Cache", if it was all released maybe people like you would finally STFU.
You're deluded IMO, you're the guy that would have said "you're paranoid" if I pointed out 5 years ago that the NSA might be recording all communications, you were the guy that said Echelon didn't exist, you were the guy that said you couldn't get exploited just by previewing an email.
I've seen your type for close to 2 decades, and they are always wrong.
If they want your stuff they will come and get it, and I would imagine cracking it is within their abilities as well.

I'm stockpiling now, we can not allow a sticks and stones gap.

I would take the money you're going to pay a lawyer and have someone morally challenged deal with the problem.

Now with lubrication.
They can be, however people keeping their mouths shut is another thing all together.

That's the attitude of a lot of corporations, and that's why there is so much successful hacking going on.
Your choice, co-ordinated propaganda campaign or massive incompetence.

Argumentum ad hominem – the evasion of the actual topic by directing an attack at your opponent.
You could tie 1 and 2 together, keep the prisons and work camps full with "pirates".
Hell.. they are probably reading this and gleefully rubbing their hands together at the idea.
It's always struck me as odd that some many people here on /. want to argue against that point.
