I thought you could.

Bingo. If enacted, this will be RICO for cyber crime. Given the nature of modern cyber crime, it won't be hard to prove in many cases.

Indeed. I'm no Apple fanboy but I admire Steve Jobs. He lost Apple as much because of hubris as anything else. He took a hard look at himself, founded NeXT, bought Pixar, and got Apple back - still with the same zeal but a more human attitude.
No, he didn't walk on water, but at the helm of a re-energized Apple, he and his colleagues changed so much in computing in such a positive way.
Make him Chairman in Perpetuity so that no one forgets his work.

It should score points! If it's in the hand of "Babs" Mikulski, it's a done deal. She is a major supporter of NASA and utterly relentless. The Webb telescope will launch if she has anything to say about it.

...years ago. Scott McNealy of Sun was the first person I can recall saying as much in public, and at the time I was angry at him for saying it.

But he was right. And he is even more right today.

Slashdot, Facebook, Google+, all of them will roll over if you post something that draws the attention of LEOs. You think your IP address can't be traced? Don't be naive. Everything you've ever done online can be cross-matched and correlated.

No, I don't like it either, but it isn't going to change. Ever.

...Anonymous are just a bunch of thugs now. Had they stuck to their original purpose they could have been a force for good. Now they're farce - no different from every ego-centric hacker group that came before them.

Nothing of any import in this loadout. Anonymous may have begin righteously, but they're devolving into rancid anklebitery as we watch.

The only sounds I hear are their death gurgles. Too bad - they could have been so much more. Not the first cadre to burn brightly and carbonize themselves. Not the last, either.

I can only guess, but I think it's the return on the R&D costs plus liability estimates and the low production volume. My spouse has an Otto Bock C-Leg. The cost now is in the $30k to low-$40k range, primarily because many above-knee amputees from Iraq and Afghanistan are getting them - a really perverse "cost goes down as volume increases" curve. :(

My spouse is an above-knee amputee that wears a good prosthetic clocking in at over $90k. And that's just for one. A spare with lesser parts? $60k. These folks being shown with multiple versions (running, walking, swimming, etc) are sponsored or are wealthy. It's great to see the advancements, but the stuff being shown is $1 million plus or prototyped - they are *not* off-the-shelf. And let's not even get started with trying to get an insurance company to cover them.

..set the oven to "Carbonize". The cost of hubris is always unaffordable.
