If this is true (was the get out of antitrust card), the only answer is to use something like WSUS and collect the updates locally before they are deployed. Then compare the file check sums to ones published on multiple https sites. The keys for those sites would need to be locally verified and shared with a web of trust that is independent of the certificate authorities.
This would insure that nobody or everybody has compromised images.
The request for DNS keys seems odd. Why wasn't it a national security letter that we would never hear about?
My mother was a nurse trained in the 40's. Since this was before major antibiotic use, significant training was about sanitation control. No wrist watches (since you might not wash), how to change bed sheets (to minimize airborne dust), and proper washing.
Now we have keyboards, remote controls, and all kinds of stuff that can't be cleaned. She died from an infection carried by improperly sterilized diagnostic equipment.
Today, hospital care seems to be more about pushing pills and foregoing the basics so it's no wonder we have resistant bugs.
Collecting sales tax for multiple states will probably become a nightmare for small businesses. The way tax laws only increase in complexity, sales tax collection could easily become the most complex business process ever conceived. Is it on food? Is it on pharmaceuticals? Is it on services?... And for what states, counties, and cities.
My zip code crosses tax jurisdictions so zip codes probably don't have enough specificity. I wonder how many thousands a month a service bureau would charge every business to provide a solution? The privacy implications for mandatory reporting of the exact location, for every purchase, would be unforgivable.
Sales tax collection, on interstate purchases, seems to be inevitable. There probably needs to be a new federal law that severely restricts the tax collection complexity.
Maybe collections should be tied to zip codes with a free rate table that would be available on salestax.gov and only changed on Jan. 1. All collections probably need to go to a single government agency for dispersal so companies don't need to file thousands of forms every month. Post an xml with zip + amount and do a single EFT.
The zip code probably needs to be the primary use location, not the ship to location. There also needs to be codes for export and resale.
A simple solution might be the following: Market a human antibiotic for use in non-humans and forfeit your patent. This would at least slow down the use until the patent expired.
Current financial conditions would seem to preclude any possibility of a moon base. In my opinion the out flow of money from the US and the lack of savings will likely lead to one of two situations: high tax increases or high inflation. I don't see any other way for the debt to be managed. There sure doesn't appear to be the political resolve to even address current problems.
If taxes are increased the economy will likely shut down. If we get hyperinflation, we will have retired boomers living out of cardboard boxes. Defined benefit pensions plans are history, most didn't save enough and those with 401k plans will probably be taxed at a high rate. I wouldn't be surprised to see a supplemental tax on 401k withdrawals. I'm seriously considering paying taxes now to move funds from a traditional IRA to a Roth in hopes it really won't be taxed at a ridiculous rate when it's needed.
Reducing carbon emissions will also tax industry. Who knows what will happen if the lawyers sink there teeth into companies for crimes against humanity for past emissions. There doesn't even need to be proof. Look at breast implants: years of bad press, lawsuits, bankrupted companies, and now they are OK again.
If things turn bad, it will be political suicide to spend or continue to spend money on the moon.
I turned down a job a NASA when I left college. There was just too much political uncertainty. It sure hasn't improved.
The numbers might be limited by the prevalence of mental illness in all its forms. Road rage takes on new meaning if somebody crashes a colony ship into your home at 0.5 C.
Today we only need to worry about nut cases with pipe bombs and terrorists getting a puny nuke. The window of opportunity to become a Type 3 civilization might be very limited.
If the fingerprint reader is damaged, just ask the cell phone provider to unlock or download the data. They probably wouldn't sell the phone without a back door (pin, puk, puk2,...):-(
On a related issue, does anyone make a mini-sd memory chip that can store pki certificates? I would really like to store my private key where it couldn't be extracted from my Nokia E61. This would reduce risks to only monitoring a "compromised" phone and maybe using it as a proxy. Bad guys could at least be kicked off if the phone is off line.
Copiers/Printers already won't copy money so I suspect that 3D printers will be required to have a database of don't copy items. No weapons, No patented items, etc. Just like laser printers, each copy will contain the printer serial number...
Cracking coconuts is nothing. Yesterday, I was leaving the only free table at a free hot spot and two people nearly cracked heads trying to get my table.
I agree that people don't know. I have yet to find someone who understands why I will no longer purchase root and burn Sony.
The inspector may have been looking at the percent fill. You are not allowed to stuff a conduit full of wire. I believe that for multi conductor cables, you need to determine the total cross section area of each cable. For more than 2, I believe the limit is 40% fill. (Check NEC Article 342).
The total number of cables will depend on the conduit type (EMT, PVC,...) and trade size. There is also a jam ratio to worry about. A third cable can slip between two others at a bend and jam. In general just ask the AHJ. The inspectors can be very helpful. There may be lots of local rules.
Verizon will lose customers over this crazy idea. I left them after 16 years when I received one too many text messages warning me to sign up for another two years so I could get new phones with GPS so 911 would work. They even called my POTS line. Fear ads are bad, paying for them is evil.
I'm sure the certificate authorities will notice the difference ($$$). How long before they offer gold and platinum. Hurry up and file the business patent.
Hire someone to check on the building and install a web controlled thermostat. http://www.proliphix.com/ has several nice models with Ethernet access. Some of their pro models even do multi-stage and will report if limits are reached. You can wire up extra sensors like outside temp.
Don't forget to shutdown and clean your refrigerator. You probably want to leave it open.
Drain the pipes, the toilet tanks, and washer pump and add antifreeze to the traps. Disconnect everything you can. Make sure you have a sump pump and a backup if appropriate.
Make sure someone picks up trash, junk mail and does things like snow removal.
Private use is fine with me as long as the property owner, installer and manufacturer all sign off on having unlimited personal liability for any injury or harm that could have been prevented if the jamming equipment wasn't present.
Root cause of the problem: Since the equipment was out sourced to a contractor, NASA never obtained all the details or tooling. The contractors were under no obligation to retain the tooling necessary to make additional units. I suspect that someone said "we need space" and everything was sent to a landfill.

It sounds like the next rover needs to be powered with an RTG and have a spool of fiber to link with a base antenna.
The horse collar should be high on the list since it allowed the animal to pull a heavy load without choking.

Without limits, this could become a disaster.
My version of the Zonealarm firewall appears to phone home every time I execute a command. So I'm not sure that's a cure.

Copying tapes is slow. Now you know why service was so slow when you stopped for lunch.
It will start 10 minutes after the clouds arrive. Sorry, but that is what usually happens.

Keep the private key trapped in a smart card. At least this should contain problems to the local system.
I would assume they were using UT which shouldn't have a problem at the dateline. Maybe it was the longitude sign change.
