You can bet there are some 87-year old Muslims out there who would love to take a shoe-bomb if they thought they could get through. After all everyone's 33 years old in muzzie-heaven
These new domains seem to split the internet, unless the pages can be read by the English speaking world. Maybe that's the idea, but it seems to move away from the intent of a universal internet.
Right now there are many millions of websites I can't read because I don't speak Chinese, Korean, Russian, etc. etc. etc.... There can be no "universal Internet" unless everyone speaks the same language, which is never going to happen.
Not to mention there are many in English that I don't understand; on genetic sequencing, quantum effects, plasma physics, etc.
The cost to them was $472 M. I *think* that will discourage them.
Law enforcement love to rub salt in the wound. A friend of mine had an accident that wrote-off a car. He had no MOT and the insurance investigators found that the car was unroadworthy. This meant that his insurance defaulted to "road traffic act only", which is the legal minimum and only covers third party injury claims. He had lost a car, and had to pay £2,000 for repairs to another vehicle.
On top of that the police then sent him a court summons, where he was fined £30 and had three points on his license for driving an unroadworthy vehicle on a public highway. Like this - I think the $12M fine is just to rub salt into the wound and to show that the law enforcement agencies are doing their job - as you say there is enough deterrent without this.
Chump change for a project like this. No one with the skills to build a good solution will give it away for two million.
Who said give it away? They'll probably take the 2,000,000 then sell the system as the "DARPA Cyber Challenge winner". There is no requirement for the software to be free or open source.
only 24 percent of millennials have any interest in cybersecurity as a career
That is not a lack of interest - it is an enormous interest. Think of when you were in class - if a quarter of the whole class were interested in one career. It is so high that I have difficulty believing it. If you assume that in any class you are going to have a 5% with no academic interest, maybe another 5% who truly want to pursue something non-technical, be it lawyer, politician, professional musician, sportsman, minister of religion, or artist - then I would say that it would be all the non-security related scientific, technical, and computer related industries that should be worried. If that figure were true it would mean that *most* people who are going to want a technical career would be looking at jobs in computer security.
Isn't that similar to what they do with the data that corporations have on people? They don't need a warrant if the corporation will willingly give it away? This is all pretty clearly a violate of the constitution, but they'll do anything to justify their corruption.
I hear what you are saying, but there has to be limits. If you stretch this argument to the limit you could end up saying that an eyewitness account of someone seeing a crime from their bedroom window should be inadmissible because for the police to look out of the window would have required a warrant!
...not agencies that do not need to care about the law.
In this case isn't it the other way round? You could put a tracker on a neighbours car for some reason (maybe check he's far away when you visit his wife) then hear that someone matching his description was seen at a crime scene, check and find that he was there, then call the police. In this case the police would be able to use the tracking information without a warrant, as it was supplied to them by a private individual not connected to law enforcement.
I have in the past owned an inkjet, these days if I want a photograph printing, I use an online photographic printing service and get my prints delivered to my door printed on real photographic paper. By the time you factor in the cost of the printer, inks and paper it works out just the same for a better result.
Seconded. I now have a B&W laser and for the small amount of colour/photographic printing I do I use online services - or if I'm in a hurry I put it onto an SD card and take it to the local supermarket that has a photo/print kiosk.
Seems quite a few countries are taking shots at china, but they're too focused on the United States to care.
It amazes me the obvious number of attacks on China from the USA. What I find interesting is why nothing in Russia given the known hacks by Russian cyber-criminals? maybe they are so good that they all show as "unknown".
That's a deliberately obtuse answer and you know it. OBVIOUSLY it's doing things in the background. You'd think with 10 years of people beating on it from every angle, someone would've figured out what all these magic things are. What are users getting for all this background processing?
It's this kind of attitude that hold the general public back from scientific curiosity. If we can improve something we should. So nice try Mr. Bald Head Wax salesperson.
In a world of limited resources having skilled medical researchers working on hair regrowth rather than cancers, heart disease, malaria, antibiotic resistance etc. is hard to justify. And I say this as a slap-head.

I have a 5 year old Samsung plasma - thats still going fine too and the wife has it on for 10 hours a day
Being university educated doesn't necessarily mean you aren't gullible and stupid.
But being University educated and still a Muslim does.
Surely you have this the wrong way round!
And most of the July 2005 London bombers were doctors.
University educated, but not doctors.
He's probably thinking of the Glasgow Airport attack
>> NSA monitored the phone conversations of 35 world leaders
And nothing of value was gained.
Only 35? Im surprised that out of the 196-ish countries in the world, only 34 of them are considered as bad or worse than Germany.
Muzzie heaven, were all the terrorists are disappointed and all the virgins are male.
According to "the innocence of Muslims" Muhammad wouldn't have been

You friend is a criminal or a retard. Everyone knows a lack of an MOT means your insurance is going to be invalidated.
uhm no. Its the unroadworthy condition that invalidates the insurance. That said he was a retard in that case - the reason he had no MOT is because he knew that the car would not pass and was unroadworthy.

Wait, you're saying we slashdotted quantum mechanics itself?
yes .... what worries me is what the "God like observer" will make of it!
First time I've seen no comments show up a few minutes into a Slashdot story going up.
Are most other people, like me, scratching their heads and trying to wrap their minds around this? :)
No - time just came to a halt as the emergent digression of entangled pairs was affected by so many observers contemplating the fact.

When asked about his hobbies and interests he replied "hacking" with a smile. Then explained that it was this type of hacking
The prime minister said the social network must explain its decision to allow images showing decapitations to worried parents.
I would strongly advise worried parents not to watch decapitation clips.
Excepting Muzzy parents who are worried that fellow Muslims are being too soft on the Kaffirs of course

Sending your data to the NSA perhaps?
