However, if it refers to blocking any unsigned applets....
Let's hope so.
it's not going to go down well.
Why? Is clicking 'allow' the first time you visit a page too much effort for you?
(assuming that's what it does)
I imagine most people can just whitelist one or two domains then everything will be business as usual (except the entire world-wide-web won't be a minefield any more...)
Which requires advanced modifications to the console including soldering.
If anybody's being disingenuous it's you.
The 'sheeple' all know you can just take your console to a modding shop and they'll do the scary advanced modifications for $20 (including soldering!).
Yeah, It certainly is absurd. I can't even imagine it if you factor in the hardware to run it on. Assuming you spent half of it on hardware, you'd have $8 billion worth of hardware (which is just plain ridiculous).
You don't get it at all.
Before you even start buying hardware or writing code you have to build some modern new offices and fill them with nice desks, leather chairs, etc. to attract the right sort of people for the management positions. Then you need hot young secretaries around the place and plenty of thousand-pound lunches to discuss their six figure salaries, annual bonuses and exactly what model of luxury car they'd like to drive to work.
Only then can you start the actual "IT" part of the project.
Few social networking sites... almost none... are really able to figure out your real name. They might ask you to give a "real name"... and you can do that... but it doesn't have to be your real name.
You can be Bruce Wayne... Or George Washington... or whatever. How are they going to stop it?
The latest trend is towards sending a message to your mobile phone with an account creation code.
.... the totally inadequate results of the local elementary and middle schools.
So, you were saying ???
I was think you agree with us, then: The social norms place the USA in the middle of the list (not near the top as most of the residents like to believe).

If God did create us, how bad an engineer do you have to be to put a sewage outlet right in the middle of a recreational area?
That's a flippant quote, but seriously, the number of major design flaws is staggering.
eg. Why does food go down the same hole as the air? How many people choke to death on food every day?
any scheme oil companies come up with to try this is likely to pollute just as badly.
At least they'll be drinking Perrier.
(Perrier that tastes of brimstone...)

I never said it did.
(Though it might if you buy your consoles down the pub...)
Finally, an admission that they'll never be able to make it secure, that blacklisting everything by default is the only way forward.
...which is why you have an 'online' and an 'offline' console.

Most people are stupid and like shallow entertainment.
You don't have to be stupid to enjoy shallow entertainment.
What if it was your neighbor reading your mail? Would you still shrug it off?

The fact that Windows wants you to reactivate would be your first clue.
You think the NSA would go to all that trouble but not have a valid Windows activation key...?
So? I have access to a number of Pre-Paid phones.
Lucky you. There's no such thing as an anonymous, pre-paid phone in most countries.
This.

Why do you ask...?
Oh, for mod points.
"makes a nearly identical blunder' all over again"
It's not a "blunder" - he's figured out he can get paid for conferences and keep himself in the spotlight by doing this sort of thing.
Bottom line: He's a fraud.
Sad thing is, a lot of people are prepared to believe him and pay to listen to him. And the planet could be wrecked because of people like him.

So all the NSA needs to do is kidnap your chip, microscopically re-dope it, and shove it back in your computer without you noticing!
They could have a batch of compromised chips and replace the one in your computer.
Would you ever know? I really doubt it.
My alarm dates from 1060 - a flock of geese!

People will absolutely find out if their prints are indeed uploaded or stored on their device.
Why would they need your fingerprint?
Fingerprints are for physical access. Apple has remote access.
Whoosh!
OK, but will you be able to call and say why you're going to be late for the meeting?
This has the added benefit that if you cut your hand, burn your finger, etc. then you'll be locked out and won't be able to dial 911.
