IIRC, Pin 1 was connected to the shield on one end only, to avoid ground loops, for those cables that had a shield.

From the FAQ, the 20 device limit is for other than the IOT devices, which are 'unlimited'. Stills seems low, but at least a more realistic limit.

If you use your thumb instead of your index finger for your unlock, and they find your index finger doesn't work, would compelling you to say which finger unlocks it then violate the 5th amendment?

He means that he would use his little finger for the correct finger, and fail the 5 attempts using any other finger or fingers. At that point, it would also require the PIN.

Found this on 'The Register' - The deadly shooting of 32-year-old Philando Castile by a cop during a routine traffic stop in Minnesota on Wednesday just got murkier. Multiple sources have told The Register that police removed video footage of Castile's death from Facebook, potentially tampering with evidence. Castile, his girlfriend Diamond Reynolds, and her four-year-old daughter were pulled over by police in the Falcon Heights suburb of Minneapolis for a broken tail light. Using her cellphone and Facebook Live, Reynolds web-streamed footage of her dying boyfriend after he was shot by a police officer as he reached for his ID in his wallet. The video was mysteriously removed from her Facebook profile as it went viral across the internet. On Thursday, Facebook said a âoetechnical glitch" caused the recording to be pulled from its social network. However, Reynolds claimed officers seized her phone and took over her Facebook account to delete the evidence. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2...

A quote from 'V for Vendetta", Cruelty and injustice...intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance, coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those who are more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable. But again, truth be told...if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War. Terror. Disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense................

I agree with you on the 'nothing useful' point. The linked pdf in the post was nothing more than 'Look at this serious threat' on the first page, and how wonderful the virus detection company's product was on the rest.

Your memory is still good. The first 3 are the manufacturer, and the remaining 3 are their 'serial' number. Link to first 3 lookup: http://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/oui/public.html

I would at least look at the ship after loading, and see where the waterline is. That would at least tell you the total cargo weight, with I think enough accuracy to indicate overloading.

Guns may be the hot button, but it got the conversation started. These printers have been around for a while. The bigger picture is that anyone can get and use a 3-d printer, cost permitting (which will drop eventually), and 'print' pretty much anything that can be made from these types of plastics. In the future, will the 'copyright/trademark police' come after you for printing copies for profit, rather than pay the manufacturers prices, or 'making available' the files to do so?

Break out the Moon-based neuralizer! Everyone has just found out about the "Ark Net" shield! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1409024/plotsummary?ref_=tt_stry_pl

Let us hope that they have better QC and design than was used on the X-Box 360. If I recall, the key reason for the RROD (Red Ring of Death) was fractures in the Ball-Grid array soldering due to board flexing, which will occur when memory, PCI cards, cables, etc. are installed or removed.
