According to the latest study, you can't eat anything.

Granted, "The Center for Consumer Freedom" is a blatant lobby group for the food industry, but their radio ad campaigns that they run in the DC area are hilarious. For real laughs, listen to their archives of radio ads.

So why not both get rid of it (as a separate executable) and keep it at the same time by implementing aliases against the equivalent powershell syntax. I don't see why they shouldn't just have powershell recognize a cmd-script or statement for what it is and run the appropriate cmdlet with sensible pre-set defaults that emulate the cmd behavior. Powershell already has aliases, so this wouldn't be very hard to fully implement. It is sort of similar to the way that GNU BASH can be run in posix mode when invoked as 'sh' and recognize a slightly different syntax from the usual gnu-extended version. IIRC, most gnu utilities can be invoked in posix mode and take different argument syntax than what it normally expects in gnu-mode.

I don't think they are going to get very far with the lawsuit under FOIA. See https://www.foia.gov/faq.html#...

Exemption 1: Information that is classified to protect national security.

Exemption 4: Trade secrets or commercial or financial information that is confidential or privileged.

Exemption 7(E). Would disclose techniques and procedures for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions

So, beside the national security issue, the technique may be a trade secret of the contractor whom the FBI hired to pull off the hack. Next, the hack was clearly used as a technique for a law enforcement investigation.

Was getting ready to post something similar to the parent AC's comments myself. The logo is for DEC (bought by Compaq/HP), not "digital" in the broader sense like digital music. By this standard, stories about solar power will soon be tagged with the Sun MicroSystems logo. Makes me wonder what they will do with the old Wang logo.

come join the counter-speech against evil.

Nice way to drive page-view revenue with a veneer of social responsibility. Now I can be socially responsible from the comfort of my own living-room, I just have to watch this banner ad first.

Rockefeller Fund: Now that oil has dropped from $120 per barrel to $30/$40 per barrel and oil stocks are no longer profitable, we've suddenly developed a sense of moral courage. Our decision has nothing to do with oil investments no longer being a money-spewing spigot.

It would be interesting to know if a sorta equilibrium occurs where the warmer winters means less fuel was burned.

There are also some IP network connected medical devices with virtually zero security. Check this out. This was definitely a WTF moment.

Back in March , in a related story, one of Cisco's VPs for security, John Stewart, was quoted in the press as saying that Cisco would ship to decoy addresses to circumvent interception by the Government. Supposedly, this was at a roundtable discussion during the Cisco-Live conference in Melbourne, but there is no video of the discussion on the Cisco-live website.

I've heard he was misquoted and they don't actually do it. Does anybody have link to actual video of this discussion? Are they still doing this? Has anybody used that service?

The original slashdot article is http://hardware.slashdot.org/s...

So lots of people her complain about "Big Pharma" and then go on to claim the socialized medicine in Europe & Canada is a superior model with cheaper drugs. How are they doing developing new antibiotics (or drugs generally)? And how do they how do they finance and amortize the cost of development if selling price is so cheap?

Well if they are talking about the toy in the picture and 40 meters is the height, a fire hose or pitched base ball can bring it down too. If it is low enough to be brought down by a fire hose then it is too low and a nuisance.

What would be more interesting is if sound can bring down a more advanced aircraft that relies on computerized gyroscope stabilization like a F-35 from a few kilometers.

If you were here a bit over a decade ago, you remember these little babies the HERF guns, http://tech.slashdot.org/story... & http://science.slashdot.org/st.... They would probably work on drones (and more). Given the Inverse-square law, I don't remember what the range might be though.

In that case, can't they just globally fix it server side, by 1) filtering it out of the stored history, and 2) filtering input to prevent it in-bound?

Next thing you know, the Daleks will climb stairs and there will be no escaping! (Yes, I know Daleks are not technically robots)

I'd love to see a city/neighborhood install pnumantic tubes for instant delivery. Its a 19th century technology that is proven and feasable but is strangely seldom used. Just laydown 1/3m (12 in) plastic piping, have machine addressable containers, and install electric-mechanical sorters/routers at each node that can read the addresses and kick the container into the correct junction. One the receving end, the receiver would put the empty container back into the system and it would be routed back to the origin or next node calling for an empty. You could have a payment system for container rental/transport.

There would be an inital install cost, but that would be recouped by the cheap operation.

Order milk and a loaf of bread from the grocery and have it delivered to your door in 10 minutes. Mail could be put into the system at the post office and be delivered to the door without a carrier.

From the Article:

creates an invisible cone of light about one meter square in which the data can be received

If you are effectively tethered to a 1 sq meter zone, you might as well be litterally tethered to a 1 meter ethernet cable .
