Security very much is a profit center. Go ask how much this hack is costing sony (supposedly millions just from the production costs alone), and then ask how much actual security would cost.

The difference is in zeroes. Many of them.

You're talking about air gapping the wrong system.

There needs to be an air gap between executives and computers. They need to never be allowed to breach it, because they are completely fucking stupid. Sony is so inept I don't even get how they are allowed to do business. This is such a lack of security compliance for a for profit that I imagine compliance auditors are drooling by now.

Is it unique to them? not even remotely. Is it their own fault? about 99.9%. 56 hacks in 12 years is not a company who understands technology. It's a company with about as much technical knowhow as the musical artists they represent.

Business ownership does not follow the political spectrum, much like the bribes to influence it.

People should be bashing sony for doing a shit job at being sony, but the MPAA is not only Sony.

Meanwhile, the irony of attempting to break DNS is that it's going to come full circle and harm the MPAA. So they really aren't paying attention to what scorched earth tactics really do.

If it's destroying more jobs then it creates, then you need to fire the people who make false statements.

Then again, we're talking about the NY times, a site that long ago gave up on honest journalism and now resorts to getcha headlines.

The reality is that technology will always destroy more jobs than it creates if you're looking at an exclusively dishonest worldview. Technology will simply shift where the jobs are available, from (things that are now automated), to things such as managing the things that are automated.

So what method do you suggest? Maybe a yellow patch on the sleeves of their shirts?

People may be stupid about vaccines but this isn't how you fix the problem.

He's not ignorant. It's called Dunning Krueger effect.

He is literally so fucking stupid he can't even comprehend that he is stupid. Which also means samzenpus should be fired for this shit too.

They've been setting up to do so for years, ago yes. We're not giving them any reason to desire to be in the US, so this shouldn't be too surprising.

Eggs are about as natural as the chickens they pump with antibiotics. So, no.

People should eat what they want to eat and will, but it helps that if you decide to eat eggs you understand what's going into the chickens you're getting them from.

This is the exact opposite of the truth. Amazon allowed ebooks as low as 99 cents, the itunes price fixing explicitly prevented that from being a possibility.

Knowing your rights is the very definition of a civics class, as is knowing what to do with them.

The costs for digging things up on earth are going to be higher than anywhere else because it is our own habitat.

Actually, this is very intentional. This means that there is no way to have net neutrality at all until probably 2018 or later, because we can't even begin lawsuits to confirm how it should work/how it exists until after the FCC even tries.

This confirms that wheeler has been in the pocket of vested interests the entire time.

No.

Most manufacturing is in China because it's one of the only places people do it anymore. Low margin items are simply not commonly manufactured in the US and haven't been for probably 30 years.

clarification: prioritization conflates latency with bandwidth. Right now a lack of bandwidth is the most prominent reason for increased latency.
