Not impressed by a 1-2 MP camera? Well: it was tested and developed for about 5 years before getting on the rover, which means it didn't get further in the chip development road.

Industry graded cameras are still in the VGA-5 MP range. Check out companies like ISVI, AVT, PointGrey, Basler. Only specialized companies offer sensors like 29MP full frame chips. The grunt work is done in low megapixels.

I used superconducting quantum interference devices in university to measure single flux quantums (5E-18T=5aT).
The electronics was off the shelf scientific equipment, but the cryogenics were of some sophistication (to reach 300mK) and the manufacturing of the SQUIDs required high purity aluminum and a controlled level of oxidation (the hardest part). It took about a day to manufacture a simple sample.

This. With an exception to #2: I'm still using one-time codes as of now (Commerzbank), though they offered to change it. I've refused so far.

In Germany you can't undo a transfer order you placed, neither can the bank. If you were doing business with someone, you call them up and ask them to wire it back to you (you need to inform your account information, too, because these are not visible to the receiving end). This is the case here. The guy should have called the cops right away. Bank transactions leave paper trails.

BTW: I still use throw-away passwords for transactions (Commerzbank). I just don't enter many passwords in a single form that looks a lot like my home banking site. It works fine or am I missing something here?

A different ruling in Germany holds owners of open wifis accountable for any illegal action undertaken by its users. You're required to keep intruders off with authentication and encryption (unless you're a cafe or so). Now people could use closed wifis for illegal activities and the courts would have to hold the wifi manufacturer accountable.

They won't. They'll go "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish"
