Meth heads will steal anything out of your yard that's not anchored down (and most things that are too). Plants, sprinklers, lawn furniture, dogs, decorative rocks, cement fountains, garbage cans, garbage. And yes this includes security cameras.
The cure - prep the most attractive items with high voltage - like 1kV DC. You need to know someone with an excavator though.
It would be better to only allow a camera to work with the originally mated master device. That would make the camera useless with any other master device.
When it was introduced I was mostly reflecting 'Why?", when it started to link stuff together like YouTube etc. then I was "WTF" and now all I can feel is relief.
I prefer to have isolation between systems unless I decide that I really want to link information together.
C is a good language for focused functionality where performance or detailed control is important like hardware drivers, but when you look at bread&butter code then there are actually better languages. The problem is that not all those languages are as portable as C to other environments or even between versions due to breaking backward compatibility.
A C program written in K&R style can still be compiled even if the compiler may moan quite a bit about obsolete constructs or with some relatively easy modifications. Meanwhile many other languages like PHP is severely breaking backwards compatibility between versions - something that's a headache for many when trying to upgrade their systems.
There are also tools to find programming mistakes, like Splint, Findbugs and many others. They add to the workload but will also make things more stable in the long run.
If you want languages with low inherent vulnerabilities you need to go for languages like Ada. But even that don't save you from bad overall designs where information hasn't been handled properly - like protection against SQL injection.
8chan, 4chan and those other boards are merely a random collection of trolls and other people that are able to speak out more freely in those channels.
Don't worry about those channels - all that's written is public. Worry about the recruiters that instead attract candidates in more clandestine form - especially in small gangs with members from the same culture. That's where the real terrorist recruiters catches their prey.
What remains are the "lone wolf" types, but only a small fraction of them are really acting upon what they write.
And for intelligence agencies the chans are a great source of information - sometimes news and patterns appears there before anywhere else. Especially patterns - like if those forums suddenly don't get any posts at all from a certain country you'd know that something is up.
And this is why the user interface of Windows 7 is the last decent UI, anything after that is just wildly confusing.
Why make the UI confusing and hard to understand? Not that the Win 7 UI don't have anything bad - it does, but it's at least consistent, which is important for many users. I don't want to waste time trying to figure out where a certain functionality is hidden - then I can as well use the command line interface instead.
As for the Alt+Tab - that's not something I use very often, but I understand that some people likes it.
I have already figured out that if you want something good - then you usually find that in the small places that are "off the main path", because that's the only way they can stay alive - offer something good. There are shortcomings though - you could get a great piece of food but the selection of beverage may be limited to only a few decent ones.
Don't rule out that she may be in conflict with some person in management, possibly that she denied someone sexual favors. It has happened before and it's really making things harder to prove with word against word and tis is the way she was punished for not bending over.
And this is why Motorola is really afraid of Chinese brands like Hytera and Excera. Especially the patent fight with Hytera that effectively ended up being for some corner functionality that really doesn't matter for most users. The goal was to try to get rid of a serious competitor on the markets where Motorola dominates.
Also be aware that the radios that people used to joke about like Baofeng, AnyTone and Tytera all are improving fast and are really challenging Motorola. You can buy 10 of them for what a Motorola costs and if it breaks just buy a new. Support is restricted to the downloads you can get from their sites.
Don't underestimate the ability to make some really obfuscated solution. And how can anyone be sure that the software that the intelligence agencies gets is the same that's executing on the network devices?
Just consider what the price to pay is if there's a backdoor implemented that's extremely convoluted and could be sprung any time.
Especially something that could cause all devices in the net to shut down and go into "brick mode" by a remote command. Also don't underestimate the knowledge of installation locations - sometimes it's all that's needed combined with one or two persons entering a key facility and drop an inside electronic bomb.

So anyone that can't afford the commercial alternatives will have to resort to paper forms?
I actually updated an XP computer yesterday with the PoS hack

Or go around the other way - use this to generate faked pingbacks in large volume rendering the data collected useless.
Looks like an early April Fools joke.

Add to it that what you think is trivial is a goldmine for others.
That's why using a standalone gps and only pairing your phone for voice are key actions to consider.
Right to repair isn't a bad idea nonetheless.
If people can't repair their own stuff it actually leads to dumbing down of society in general.
So blocking YouTube - well, then you have to block all of internet except a few government-approved sites.
In Soviet Russia internet surfs you.
C is an assembly macro language.
Most script languages are written in C.

Just stick to the Sean Connery movies and you'd be fine. Maybe Lazenby too.
$500 is the right price.
The Windows zip support is a bit like having just neutered animals on a farm and expect them to procreate.
Anyway - this posted on Slashdot was actually pretty informative anyway since I have now updated my Winrar installation.
If it wasn't posted on /. I would never have noticed it.
Well, it's something you fall for once, like the recommendation to delete C:\Windows\System32 too...

Brings up the old Fidonet statement to my mind "you don't feed Bob Johnstone".
After all this is "news for nerds".
Works only if you pay your bills with a credit card. That's not the case in many cases.
Even in Sweden where credit and cash cards are more common than cash you don't - you pay with a direct bank transaction.
