Sure, if they were that wealthy, but my thought is that this would suit a lot of people in the range of wealth somewhere between "rich enough to own a private jet" and "just well-off enough to afford regular commercial airline flights." Imagine having enough money to buy a small aircraft (and time to get a license to fly it) OR a new luxury car, but not really feeling rich enough to justify buying both. Now, in theory, you wouldn't have to choose between having one or the other. Plus you get the geek points of being an early adopter of a real-life version of something that has been a science fiction mainstay for decades.

Even so, the promise of one day soon, theoretically at least being able to get from a parking spot in LA to a parking spot in Seattle in less than 18 hours without having to get groped by the TSA or even get out of your vehicle is something that will turn the heads of a lot of wealthy travelers.

This post deserves to be modded up.

Believe it or not you can get a ticket for driving too slow, even if that speed is the posted limit.

Probably they mean it allows data to gzip directly from one phone to another. Nobody uses zip for network traffic.

You believe way too much of what you see on the evening news.

Which, interestingly enough, a one-time-use, generated-on-the-fly, disposable credit card number would ALSO protect you against...

My guess is it was actually shut down due to pressure from the government (*cough* NSA *cough*) to increase transparency in online credit card transactions. This would have made it far too easy for people to anonymously spend money on drugs and prostitutes.

Also, don't run your webserver as root.

And, incidentally, neither of which you should be doing in the first place on any publicly facing web server. They've both generally been considered bad practice for scalability as well as security concerns since long before this particular BASH vulnerability got a buzzword name.

AFAIK yes, by default, if you backtick to open a shell command, but not if you use shell_exec().

Don't call it a "dashboard" because they think that just because its packaged differently and called something else it must not therefore be what they want. Call it "Realtime Reporting" and be done with it. Its not, strictly speaking, realitime, but that matters very little; its not strictly speaking a dashboard either.

Trying to ruin 4chan's rep. Hilarious. They must be new to this internet thing.

Well, probably not how much soap you use, but they very well may limit what chemicals are allowed to be in soap that the vendors sell. They've already banned phosphorous in dishwashing detergent.
