Furthermore, if there is no "right" to drive while drunk, and there is evidence showing that texting while driving is even more dangerous than drunken driving, why is there a persistent notion that there should still exist a "right" to text and drive?
I consider my 1955 automobile extremely unhackable, actually. At least by the modern methods described here. It has circuits, but they're all analog. And 6V. And positive ground.
I wonder if its effectiveness differs with the language being spoken. Do faster-spoken languages become more stressful and difficult to continue with than slower-spoken ones?
All that may be true, but I think the bigger question would be about his father's cronies who are still there. Just because he's the new leader, it doesn't necessarily follow that he immediately has all of his father's power and influence. And if he moves too quickly away from the policies of the past, I'm sure it could put him at risk within his own power structure. NK is about to enter "interesting times," for better or worse.
The author's dismissal of the privacy problems with going from cash to all-digital transactions, especially as flippantly as he does in his final paragraph, really lumps him in with the "if you've don't nothing wrong, you've nothing to hide" types. Yet another talking media head perfectly willing to trade everyone's basic privacy rights for a bit of perceived safety. In his mind, he's already won the debate, and it's only kooks and vested interests holding out. But don't listen to me, I'm obviously a cash-hoarding militia member, an anonymity-obsessed ACLU'er, the U.S. Treasury, Russian mob, Laundromat owner, or a person who has hidden a purchase from my spouse or income from the government.
But didn't you RTFA? That sort of concern has already been dismissed - you must be either a "cash-hoarding militia member or an anonymity-obsessed ACLU'er."
They won't think twice about deputizing the FBI to kick in your door if you so much as rip a DVD to your computer, so why do you feel you owe them your attention?
In 100 years there have been two feature length films based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' "Princess of Mars." The first was an obscure direct-to-video indie release in 2009. The second is Andrew Stanton's first live action film for Disney --- with a budget of $250 million.
So Disney takes from the public domain yet again for its own financial gain, and uses that gain (in the form of lobbying, campaign contributions, and lawyers) to directly prevent any of its own IP from ever entering public domain. Awesome. I'd make some sort of Borg reference here, but my right to do so is rather dubious for at least the next 75-100 years.
Yeah, firing up Mosaic or Netscape was only a once-in-a-while type thing. I remember actually buying music online by telnetting in to cdnow.com to browse and buy cds.
If those are problems for your doctor, I'd suggest shopping around for a new one. Not to mention that both of those causes would certainly be just as detrimental to computerized filing systems.
Manila files don't crash. Doctors (and many other professions) don't like to lose time/money sitting around waiting for their filing system to be repaired.
In short, elect fewer old white rich male lawyers and you may find a better cross section of legislative ideas and initiatives.
Simple game theory says that neither of the big two parties would ever do this on a grand scale - too much risk of not winning an election. They don't run those who are representative, they run those who are electable versus their opponent. The best way to change this would be to change the election process to get rid of the first-past-the-post system. But if there's anything the big two can agree on, it's that they want to remain two; not three, four, or more, like British parliament for example.
Trouble is, both Democrats and Republicans support it (otherwise they'd look "soft on terrorism"), so the chances of voting anyone out are exceedingly small. People are outraged, but not to the extent that they'd vote for a third-party candidate.
Finally, a plausible scientific theory as to why my sleep seems more restful when I hit the snooze button a few times, rather than jumping out of bed immediately at the first alarm. Not that any such theory would convince my snooze-button-averse wife...
Start getting your resume out now. This isn't a budget/technology problem, it's a management problem, and it doesn't sound like you're in the position to do anything about it except take the fall.
That was my best guess too. It should probably read: "The result is that signatures are more likely to be either printed text or illegible scrawls, making them easier to forge; which in turn creates new security risks."

Indeed. Gentlemen, get on your bad landspeeder and ride...

Statler and Waldorf have one on order.

Hoping for the best, expecting the worst. Could the change in leadership really amount to actual change this quickly?

But that would make Star Wars: ANH into... the Avatar of its day...?
(Having a Quagmire-esque "Oh god... OH GOD!!" moment here.)
I will always hate SyFy, and can never forgive them for three simple reasons:
1) Riverworld
2) The Prisoner
3) Riverworld

As a digital immigrant, I request you create me a digital lawn which I can instruct the natives to stay the hell off of.

Most animal rights activists only care about cute animals. .
True. It doesn't seem the activists were too concerned about the dead bugs on the grill of their van.
