Ah. totally understandable. For me, it really depends on the usage case, but I generally prefer wired connections. If I weren't living in a rented house, I'd have GigE everywhere.

Potential? Yes. Then again, so do the lives of most married people. To me, this man screams "crazy-ass hippie." Then again, I haven't followed the saga extremely closely. I just knew he was running away from some "death squad" and was wanted for questioning in connection to a murder. He's got a hell of a narcissistic streak, though.

It looks to me like the console has an ethernet port. If for some reason, you need it to connect to a PC, couldn't you use a crossover cable?

I don't know. From what I've seen, his lifestyle doesn't scream "murderer." He seems to be living a batshit-crazy life, to be sure, but he doesn't seem to be the murdering "type" if you will. Mind you, this is the opinion of an armchair commentator on slashdot stories about batshit-crazy people.

Let him rent some sweet ultraporn.

Two dialup modems on each end of a VoIP session. It could totally work. Totally.

Theoretically, all those jobs can be automated, and at a much more rapid pace as automation advances.

How's that sweet math coprocessor treating you?

Yeah, I sent them a certified letter with an arbitration clause for any content I use in any manner with the opening of the letter implying their consent.

Wow, I'm good with this. It may be a PR move, but it's one a find myself surprisingly happy about. I may consider actually buying (a new) one now.

These EULAs are quite long, but often times they can be skimmed. Generally, I look for any arbitration clauses, warranty disclaimers, use restrictions, claims of ownership, data collection policies, and any big scary sections in all caps. More often than not, the rest is pretty standard, such as sections about export controls, copyright notices, and notes regarding the TOS.

Many pieces of software and hardware used in Healthcare are required to pass FDA certification, especially in areas like radiology. Often times, these vendors report that because they are certified on a certain patch level, these systems cannot be patched without losing that certification. Do you see any solutions to the current state of industry-specific software's seeming lack of quality, updates and security?

I don't know why, but I had to laugh at Indian Business Machines. It has the same ring to it as a tv from Somy or Samfung.

I can do the last part with our MDM software from a leading vendor®. Partial wipes work very well on Android and iOS devices.

One needs to balance the needs of the many vs. the needs of the few or the one. You cannot take the skydiver at face value, as you have not taken the emotional state of the skydiver into account, or you have weighed each stakeholder's emotional needs equally. Perhaps the potential skydiver wanted nothing more than to skydive once in his/her life. To deprive the skydiver of this could potentially send them into a depressive state, and they may potentially blame their friends/loved ones to the point of resentment. There are admittedly many assumptions being made in this example, but I wanted to counter your counterpoint. People are certainly not islands, but one's consciousness does not extend beyond one's self. One also cannot underestimate the emotional needs of an individual person. Having said that, a person becoming depressed because they can't skydive probably has other more serious issues...
