You don't really need to MITM the transaction if it's being transmitted in the clear. I know you were just being pedantic, but honestly, nobody cares about the subtle differences between MITM and eavesdropping in this situation. The point is there was a serious issue.
Oh but don't you know? In real life nobody uses keyboards!
This article is totally a joke all around. The only difference between these guys, and the Hollywood guys, is that the hollywood guys are going to make a lot more money while demonstrating their lack of computer knowledge.
Someone who only knows about family issues 2nd hand will never be as effective as someone who has lived them. To be honest, this calls to mind that old expression "Those who cannot do, teach."
Your comparisons would be apt if one could become a doctor by being sick.
Never having had a divorce does not make a divorce lawyer any less qualified in matters of divorce law. Never having had a family makes anyone a less effective family counsellor, no matter how much schooling they have had.
Good psychologists are made by good schooling. Good relationship counsellors? Not so much... there are some things books cannot adequately teach you, first hand experience is required.
If you really think that any sort of schooling can teach someone about relationships the same way schooling can teach a doctor medicine, or a lawyer the law, then you are delusional beyond hope.
Correct me if I'm completely off base, but I'm reading this as the former head of the CIA whining about how "if business can do it, the government should be able to too". She correctly points out that the public doesn't seem to care when businesses invade their privacy, but she is using that to claim they shouldn't care when the government does it either, not to claim that the public should be concerned about both.
And come to think about it, what the hell does a former head of the CIA care about what the American public thinks about privacy anyway? Isn't the CIA only supposed to operate outside of the US or something like that?
Perhaps no, but the teachers union does have enough pull to keep teachers accused of child abuse hired and paid by the school-district while not preforming any actual service (isolated from the students). The comparison is a good one, though the magnitude is off.
Give me a break, those are all piss-poor examples. Psychologists don't give advice on how to best be mentally ill, and the job of divorce lawyers is to offer legal services, something they are indeed very experienced in.
Would you go to a relationship counsellor who was never in a relationship? Well, you might, but it is hardly surprising that those of us not already blinded might think twice about it.
Are you sure about that? If you are young right now, there's a good chance you will see some pretty amazing improvements in medicine and technology. It might not be enough to acheive immortality, right away, but perhaps the average lifespan will be increased dramatically enough you will.
Singularity is upon us! Personally, I don't want to gamble on it being free.
Pizza delivery guys put themselves into situations that you or I hopefully NEVER have to be in. Every delivery is a potential bullet to the face (which while rare, DOES happen (more often than it happens to cops)). Pizza delivery guys are not above the law, but they deserve special protections due to the situations they are forced to be in. You can deliberately miss the point and argue semantics but the point of this statute is clear--to protect pizza delivery guys from people who are potentially dangerous and acting in unpredictable fashions.
FTFY.
Clearly pizza delivery guys should have the right to beat the shit out of anyone who "stands too close to them".
We already have laws against threatening police officers, laws against "standing too close to police officers" are stupid. And why only police officers? Surely if some crazy dude "stands too close" to a regular citizen, they should deserve protection as well.
To use a car analogy, what the GP did was like someone saying "I have a red convertible." Well no duh it's red, that's the only colour they make convertibles! Don't even try to say that non-red cars can be convertibles, everyone knows that all true convertibles are red. There is nothing particularly wrong with pointing out that his convertible is red though, it's just more descriptive for people 'not in the know'.
When parents use food as a reward ("You did good on your report card, lets order pizza!") you have a problem.
I agree with the general statement, but certainly not the example. How often do kids receive report cards? 4 times a year in US public schools to my knowledge. If ordering pizza is a rare enough occurrence that the kid feels rewarded/excited by the prospect of it, then 4 "prize pizzas" a year isn't going to hurt anything. If anything, it re-enforces the idea that ordering pizza is something you only do for special occasions, not every time you are hungry.
Anyway, encouraging academic success is always a good thing, far too many parents don't care at all.

Perhaps a system such as this could be implemented. Obviously would be hard to do if the robot is meant to cut meat, but in any other situation I think it'd be reasonable.

And authentication without encryption protects you from eavesdroppers how exactly?
Jesus fucking christ you two. Get a room...
Same thing in Fedora more or less (yum install gimp-resynthesizer). Really folks, this is no harder to install than anything else...
And yeah, this approaching that "sufficiently advanced technology" level for me. It's practically downright creepy.

My favourite take on this by far was in Super Troopers. For an instant I thought they were actually doing it seriously ;)

Unlikely, my politician is already in Comcast's pocket. Why would comcast censor their own politician? :(

Are they priests? If so, then yes I would. Mostly out of a desire to see people like you squirm. Nobody is above ridicule, get used to it.
And newsflash: not everyone who criticises the catholic church is an atheist.

Changing units is meaningless, accuracy is what matters.
Of course, I really doubt anyone has numbers so accurate they need 64 bits to store them.
Yes. Honestly I'm surprised it's in the sub 7-figure range at all.
Well to be fair, it is possible that both are true...

Ricin. From Castor oil seeds.
Organic, so it is perfectly harmless. Right? Right??
You know what is a far more dangerous job than being a cop? Being a pizza delivery guy.
FTFY.

That just makes no sense at all.
Reading comprehension FTW.
