I'm posting through a time portal from 2035. Windows 22 requires 128 terabytes but you're an idiot if you try with less than 512. All I use the computer for is posting cat holograms and running porn programs on my holodeck. It's ridiculous.

What does 'RAM' stand for? What does a computer have to do with sheep?

As long as it's done "over the internet" you can get a new patent.

Ha ha. You suck at parenting. Bring forth some real consequences, not just threatened ones, for turning on the light and watch that light stay off.

Your toaster needs to be online so it knows the time. It needs to know when its warranty expires so it can break down right on schedule.

Having a thermostat that logs temperature and activity online would be fine, so long as the furnace control circuit is physically disconnected from the logging circuits. There should be no way that the furnace could be controlled from the internet. It can't be security in software but a physical limitation of the device itself. There's very little reason for home appliances to be controlled in this manner. Commercial controls, however, are already accessible online and the security is terrible. I know someone who installs these and he showed me how he could login from home and change pretty much everything with an HVAC system. I seriously doubt a hacker would have much trouble taking control but I doubt they could really do much damage to an office building. Maybe they could impact someplace that had a real need for strict temperature control like a greenhouse or refrigerated storage facility.

Send me a cheque for $300 and I'll send you a Degree.

Switching to Linux wouldn't solve their physical security issue.

The money is locked in a hardened steel enclosure similar to a safe. Apparently the computer is not. This attack is probably one of the easier ways to get at the money.

I'll bet it works as well as automatic headlights and automatic windshield wipers. Hell, even gas tank level sensors still suck. Engineers may design something that works, but by the time it makes it into a production vehicle it's been hacked up and cheapened and built out of flimsy plastic components to the point of being useless.

I have read that successively diluting a solution by 100 times will make the medical effects stronger. I've read that a perpetual motion machine has been verified but is kept under wraps by big oil. But fortunately I have more than two brain cells and can spot the bullshit.

I instantly thought of that talk too. They were essentially doing this many years ago.

Sounds like a great idea, but in reality it'll end up being untrusted and reviled by scientists. Set yourself up as THE authority on judging anything and the people you're judging will hate you because of your biases, conflicts of interest, lack of oversight, lack of accountability, and poor dispute resolution.

Apple's footprints were found at the crime scene.

I must have been using it wrong. When I tried it I found it to be a big disorganized mess.
