Comment Re:Prediction: de-anonymization considered "hackin (Score 2) 192

A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.

Liquid Nitrogen/Helium cooling is great... while it lasts. When it's used up however, you've got to pay for another bottle of cooling. I have no idea how long a $200 CPU can run at 8GHz on a bottle of Nitrogen, or how much a bottle of Nitrogen costs, but I can't imagine it's a good long term solution.

Clearly people want to be monitored at all times, they just haven't been convinced properly yet. And as a result of the monitoring that NSA done up to now, they already have a list of all the people who don't want to be monitored. They could just pay those people a visit. You know? Convince them properly. Or make them go away.
