I think you have 'ubiquity' confused with 'indiscriminate'. I'm not suggesting people go peering up with untrusted machines. I'm saying they should use the darknet as intended, while being camouflaged by a society full of other people doing the same.
Possibly. But there are plenty of people out there who can resell fiber and copper lines, and it would at least force them and the wireless people onto an even playing field.
If they were to give the number they knew most of their subscribers were seeing 90% of the time, then people wouldn't be so angry about their lies.
Not to mention, it would create an opportunity for actual competition to happen in the market, forcing its players to actually try and provide better value for money, like the FreeMarketarians keep insisting will happen.
What's especially good is when it has Japanese words for the translation from English, but it doesn't have an English translation for those same words- so you get a random chunk of Romanji in the middle of an otherwise normal gibberish Engrish sentence.
It's not "100% fraud proof", as it's vulnerable to simple sleight-of-hand. All you need is a dozen more ball-bearings up your sleeve. Furthermore, he doesn't mention any way to ensure that the election officials are themselves trustworthy. If votes from lots of different polling locations need to be aggregated at one central location, there's no mention of any chain of custody procedures for the ballot box, nor any way to ensure that the contents of the box, while untampered with, haven't simply been misreported, nor that the signs identifying which box is which haven't been swapped around while they were still concealed in the booth.
I get the impression he has no real experience with data security, he just thinks he has a good idea and nothing will persuade him that he doesn't. The update at the top of the article sorta confirms this.
This doesn't actually mean the translation is any better: all it means is that the Chinese generated by Babelfish is more easily translated back to english, perhaps because it makes even less sense in Chinese. A translation function could be conceived which is a strict, reversible bijection, so that playing this translation game would give you your original English back, word-for-word. Doesn't guarantee that the intermediate Chinese step is in any way comprehensible.
Nah, they just have to restate the Church-Turing thesis and convince the patent office that no matter what "alternative" method the competition may have devised to accomplish the same task, it's ultimately the same method.
Since there are 3 dimensions of linear acceleration and 3 more of angular acceleration, I can't see how only 2 piezo elements could make effective use of all the movement. Maybe they've done some consumer testing and determined that no one ever shakes their mobile along its Z-axis?
idiot activists created a rallying cry against "activist judges" and The Gay Agenda, 30 states wouldn't have passed anti-gay-marriage constitutional amendments.
...Yeah, and the anti-gay-marriage status quo would have continued in those 30 states, without anyone ever feeling the need to codify their bigotry into constitutional law. Who, exactly, would be helped by that? Those amendments are the frightened flailings of people who are losing their influence.

You should have watched more Inspector Gadget. That Penny chick had the best textbook.
Because the publisher needs to be able to sell the same work over and over, obviously. Format q would undermine all that.

This reply followed a very weird train of thought.
This thread has given me new and unique insights into the issue being discussed! Thanks, AC.
Actually, 'average' is an ambiguous term which, according to context, may refer to a mean, a median, or even a mode.
Is your sig designed specifically to troll grammar nazis?
Yep. There's no reason to use that shareware nagscreeny garbage ever again.

It really isn't. In fact, the more ubiquitous, the darker it is.
There's nothing more conspicuous than a lone host spewing cryptogibberish into a network full of cleartext.

Mr. Google:
Before leaving, please deploy a transparent, ubiquitous distributed darknet app. I just know you're sitting on one.

Yes, but in some high-security applications it's been supplanted by PAM.

Evolutionarily stable strategy.
