Like it or not, those in power are long used to that term, and as a community we can either denigrate them for it or try to work with them.

Before you answer... remember that they are the ones in power and more guns and lawyers than you.

Bingo!

The assumption that low voter turnout is a bad thing always puzzles me, as it seems to suggest that it is better to have a larger number of uninformed people voting... rather than a smaller # of people who can at least be bothered to get up off their arse and do something.

Because people in the know are smart enough to know that 'faux' rhymes with 'know'... not 'fox'.

You now know about this issue and can do it to your Macs... and that of your family & friends... but what about all of those people who do not have a person like you? How do they get the fix?

Short of a mandatory update that is pushed down even on devices that opt out of automatic updates... how do you propose to push such a change?

So yes... too late. If the device leaves the factory in an insecure state, a significant number of units are basically guarenteed to remain that way until they are decommissioned years from now.

Is FileVault 2 enabled out of the box? If not... it's too late for most users.

Correct... and yes, yes it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

At least on a PC (which lacks Thunderbolt), opening the PC is required to exploit that vector... though there are still others... and many of them work without the need for any driver support.

This was also covered at Defcon 22... and not just for AWS keys: http://youtu.be/nBR7Kru6JX0?t=...

That is actually a very good point... though not a slam dunk. Is a "cyber warrior" carrying their weapons openly and acting in accordance to international law? If not, Geneva may not apply.

Lizard Squad != GOP... or do you have additional information?

Care to cite a single case where that 'twas the sole provocation and the related result?

You are forgetting the implications of tort law.

Even if a physical attack is very unlikely, the costs of the lawsuits which would occurs afterwards would make proceeding a rather risky thing either way.

Don't believe me? The lawsuit against the theater which didn't prevent the Aurora theater shooting continues: http://deadline.com/2014/08/ci...

Because a free market in labour is as important as a free market in goods.

Do away with the welfare state and fewer people will have a problem with unchecked immigration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

On the one side we have the entrenched and largely ubiquitous gasoline infrastructure trying to keep electricity from becoming the dominant (good luck)... the recent upstart of hydrogen which requires you to rather carefully plan your commute... and LNG sitting there in the corner saying "Don't forget about me guys!"

It's like Verizon vs ATT on pay-per-view side and Sprint in it's own ring waiting for T-Mobile to arrive on PBS.

It's pretty easy to guess which is going to get the bigger numbers in terms of revenue.

I said "not suddenly reach"... the victim in this turned rather quickly and reached.

I'm not excusing the shooting, I just am recognizing how the actions could be misconstrued by an officer... who as your article points out has been (rightly) fired & charged).

So your solution to lawful violence is... lawless violence?

I'm sorry, but assaulting a cop tends not to be a good way to avoid getting shot... just as Michael Brown.

Resisting arrest... even over the allegation of selling untaxed cigarettes is not a good way to avoid being held on the with multiple bodies attempting to restrain you... just ask Eric Garner.

Waving and aiming what looks like a real gun around in a park, then reaching for your waist when police come to the scene is not going to getting shot... just ask Tamir Rice.

Now, when the cop sticks his hands inside of the vehicle and gets it caught in the steering wheel, and fearing that the driver is going to drive away shoots the driver... that's a great way to get yourself charged with murder... just ask Richard Combs.

Why do you assume that the job of a solider or cop is to die?

Patton would also disagree:“The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.”
