"The thing is, you've got remote substations, lines, generators, etc... that all have to communicate with your control system. Just because a network isn't on the internet, doesn't mean it's not vulnerable to attack, especially when those nodes may be hundreds of miles away."
I seem to remember this magical thing called broadband over powerline. Yes, let's see you tap into a 75,000kV line and get access to that data.
"An air-gap solution is one quick and simple line of defense, sure. But I'd rather have real cryptographically-secure authentication on all the relevant systems than an air-gap defense."
How about we go back to pure switch-controlled stuff, and get rid of the network completely? You want it safe, make it so the ONLY way to fuck with the system is to either dig up a wire and cut it (enjoy your electrocution knowing most moronic terrorists) or actually be at the control booth flipping the switches.

Not in the slightest, he simply amasses an army of QUALIFIED doctors who can simply say "No way in hell can they cure a viral infection by adjusting your bones, PERIOD. Even they should know that from the basics of medical school" and that's the end of that bullshit.
I know chiropractors that claim they can cure illnesses by adjusting your back, I saw several after my accident.
Chiropractors are primarily quack doctors that only make money by giving never-lasting relief. The FEW chiropractors that do realize they only provide temporary relief and are honest about it are almost universally fucked by the moron quacks that make their spurious claims.
EULAs are unilateral, there is no signature (LEGALLY REQUIRED) and there is no negotiation - EULAs have been found null and void in many courts - learn the law.
The government that you support with your tax dollars, if you're that blind to see.
Considering they pay cops to take a report and then do nothing after a crime is committed. I had my house burglarized, lost $100,000 in computers, guitars, etc. COPS KNEW WHO DID IT AND DID NOTHING. The fucker is STILL walking the streets free today.
If you can't see that you've essentially become a SLAVE and they won't help you until their tax revenue is threatened, then I'll leave you to your world of ignorant bliss.
Why do you think they made suicide illegal? It takes away their tax revenue.
If they did nothing, you call them back and say "Either deal with the drug dealer or the neighborhood will do your job for you in the bloodiest manner possible and LAY ALL THE BLAME ON YOU."
Watch how fast they send units to that drug dealer's house - especially if you boost the phone call with some loud rowdy crowd soundbytes.
Especially considering their controlling YOUR BANDWIDTH when it has no real effect on THEIR NETWORK (unless they're illegally hosting the files as well.)
You want the real goods, get into the release scene. Private trackers are scumbags of the internet.
"Because it's clear what The Pirate Bay's, Mininova's and IsoHunt's intention is"
It's pretty clear what Google's intention of adding "filetype:torrent" to their search metadata is - to allow someone to find a torrent file without needing to go to those bothersome sites and search.
The entire thing is Sony Global. That means that entity, the shareholder part, CONTROLS EVERYTHING ELSE. They make final okays towards individual business practices. NO OTHER SUBDIVISION DOES ANYTHING WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL, PERIOD. It doesn't happen. Ever attended a shareholder meeting, or have to give a presentation to one? You stand there, discuss what you have done, what you WANT to do, and then you BEG in the most professional manner possible.
Now pardon me, I have to wait for the UK AND China to both be awake so I can make the reports to MY shareholders in each country.
That's the bandwidth interconnect - you get more than that between the SPU and its dedicated memory on the PS3. The actual Memory data rate was far less than that, and it is trivial to emulate.
Very trivial - take a look at PCSX2.
In fact actual 48GB/s DRAM hasn't been available until DDR3, man. Well after the PS2.
While you bitch about you being unhappy if someone stole your work, you fail to bitch about the very people around you stealing your life and livelihood away.

Legal rights cannot be signed away - that is why they are called rights - you have access to that privilege at all times.
Fuck you AC's are stupid as shit.
Watch when they show up to your front yard full of angry people that are more than willing to kick their asses for not doing their job.
It's happened before in history, i'll guarantee you it can and will happen again.
Guess you've never checked a google cache, have you?
Yes, they DO have the torrent files.
Flash and Shockwave are merged, that means Flash has 3d rendering capabilities.
Shockwave 9 or 10 had 3d capability, I remember playing a motorcycle racing 3d game using it.
I most certainly would NOT want this running in my browser.
Because needing 1GHz to run something 133MHz could run back in the late 90s is just bullshit.
"It's exactly this type of cross-platform thinking that kills PC games and makes consoles attractive."
Yep, you're going to enjoy playing your web-browser FPS on that controller while I beat you down with a dedicated keypad and laser mouse.

Seriously, this kind of shit does NOT need network connectivity. Does NOBODY remember some researchers gaining access to the controls of a nuclear powerplant from the outside?

Don't forget the hot sauce!
You forget how slashdot started, and is still used as a personal blog by Taco.
We just comment.

Got news for you
Private trackers suck.
Especially considering their controlling YOUR BANDWIDTH when it has no real effect on THEIR NETWORK (unless they're illegally hosting the files as well.)
You want the real goods, get into the release scene. Private trackers are scumbags of the internet.
'If Google provided a separate torrent search area for searching for torrent files, they would have a 95% illegal content rate"
IT EXISTS.
filetype:torrent is all you need to add to your search term.
"Because it's clear what The Pirate Bay's, Mininova's and IsoHunt's intention is"

LOL @ the dumb troll that doesn't realize /. IS a blog.
Ignorant trash needs to stick with the tea partiers and let real men with real valid opinions talk.

2008 it was 8th, caused by the housing market bubble deflating.
Give it two more years and watch how fast it gets back up past #6.
Except I hold their advertising under which I purchased my PS3 - that's as good as a contract in most states.
Fuck them owning the network - this is a breach of contract and false advertising after the fact.
Their ass is owned.
Are you just ignorant of false advertising laws or what?
Nevermind, 7-digit UID. Probably barely out of high school.

I think your priorities are fucked, pal.
I just wanted Linux to tinker with on a parallel-processing system and an occasional gaming system (I have FFXIII.)
