An operator who would normally be supposed to watch multiple streams of video for anomalous activity can use these more like bookmarks for subsequent human verification.
Are you really going to rely on human beings to do, I don't...their job? These days, it seems we can't even seem rely on CEOs to do their jobs, let alone some twit watching a video camera all day.
No, as usual, the higher-ups will assume, rightly so, that the barely-above-minimum-wage idiot that they hired to watch the video is too stupid to figure out what is a false positive and what is not and treat every single flag by the system as suspicious.
You put way too much faith in your fellow man.
Yes. The parent poster is a victim of American propaganda spread about China by the U.S. government through media outlets in the hopes of
Making China look particularly bad in terms of civil and human rights so that the U.S. can somehow justify its particularly hard-line stance against its own major trading partner and
Making citizens in the U.S. feel more comfortable about the civil and human rights that have been taken away from them in the interests of 'combating terrorism.'
If you actually talk to people from and in China, they don't really understand why we think that they have it that bad, especially since its not much better here.

Wait! You mean no one wants to see a bad movie, no matter how little it costs? (Except, perhaps, on MST3K) Shocking! The implication seems to be that they think that they should make money even if they produce schlock. I'm wondering if perhaps the movie industry has begun hiring former Microsoft executives...
He left in 85. Apple's decline was after (much after), not because of. If you look at some of his decisions wrt to Apple III, Lisa, early Macintosh, and even NeXT, it's entirely conceivable he would have driven the company into the ground.
Actually his decisions regarding the early Macintosh were precisely what lead to its success. As Andy Hertzfeld once said, when he started working on the Mac, it was going to have a character-based display just like the Apple III. Jobs' instance on pushing out a computer with the advances he witnessed at Xerox PARC was precisely what led to its success.
The Lisa, OTOH, was just too ambitious for the time. The price tag was too high and the machine was too high-end for the day to ever garner mainstream appeal.

Then how is that different than patenting "the concept" of solving a series of linear equations using Gaussian elimination?
Solving a series of linear equations is an algorithm, and algorithms are specifically listed as not patentable. My software is a collection of various algorithms.
Or land their crates safely after traveling for billions of miles, or at least crash somewhere else but in the middle of nowhere, midwest USA.
If you were an alien, where would you land your craft? In the middle of nowhere, where there is no one around to mess with you or your stuff, or in the right in the middle of Central Park, where the Bloods or the Crips might gank you and jack your ride?
One could imagine that they're either more subtle when they try to remain under cover than leaving mutilated cattle and anally probed people lying around after their departure
Mutilated cattle may be an entirely different phenomenon than aliens (see el chupacabra, for instance, for a weirder, but alternate explanation), but as far as anally-probed people -- well, again, if you were going to anally probe people, would you anally probe the President or some celebrity or would you pick some poor schmuck whom no one is ever going to believe?
Why not land in the middle of the Superbowl finals
I assume they also wouldn't want to get involved in local conflicts.
C'mon, try to see it from the alien's perspective.
What he's saying is that software patents are not patents on math because you aren't patenting the math. You're patenting the concept.
It's the difference between copyright and patents. And people here are not clear on the distinction.
Copyright grants exclusive rights to the creator of a specific expression of an idea. I can hold a copyright on my specific play about a man, a woman, a gerbil, 10 pounds of cucumbers and a jar of petroleum jelly. My copyright only covers my play; if someone else rights a different, independently created play about a man, a woman, a gerbil, 10 pounds of cucumbers and a jar of petroleum jelly, that's just my tough luck.
A patent, on the other hand, grants exclusive rights to a concept or an idea. If I couldn't patent plays, I could patent the concept of a play involving a man, a woman, a gerbil, 10 pounds of cucumbers and a jar of petroleum jelly and no one else could write a play with those elements in it.
Seen differently in software, a copyright prevents someone else from ripping off my specific program, Stylus Toolbox. If there were no prior art, I could patent the concept of writing GUI front-end to a command-line utility for the purposes of controlling an inkjet printer. Then no else could write such a program. But I am not patenting MATH (or software), I'm patenting the concept of such a program.
Whether software patents are a good idea is another matter entirely. The fact is that existing law allows for software patents, and the reason is is that you aren't patenting the software, but the concept.
the next step in the war is to build apps that obfuscate their activity. make it look like http form requests. make it look like smtp traffic. randomize ips, obfuscate ports, etc.
And, of course, various efforts are already underway.
You forgot that running Django apps is also faster than Rails and PHP.
I didn't forget it -- I just didn't say it explicitly. I said that it's written in Python -- and it works with (but does not require) mod_python. That's all you need to know in terms of performance. I figured that part would be obvious.;)

What they didn't tell you, is the spelling. Old MacDonald didn't have a farm, he had a pharm.
Do they mean wall outlets?
They mean being able to plug in your Volt while you're at work so that you can not only get to work without burning gas, but you can get home, too.
You don't NEED to plug your Volt in at work. It'll run on gasoline when the battery runs out. Hence the term 'plug-in hybrid'.
Nicotine is itself carcinogenic
Nicotine by iteself is not a carcinogenic.
The only thing that has been shown to have carcinogenic properties is cigarette smoke.
Fuel cells are at least five to ten years away from being reasonable and there is no hydrogen refueling infrastructure anyway (a real issue!)
Not entirely true. Toyota developed a hydrogen refueling infrastructure about 2-3 years ago, it's just not been deployed widely deployed.
