I remember reading about new coating or material for knifes used in machines which can now dispense cucumbers, so this is a solved problem, but I can't find that article. Other problems with dispensing will be solved too.
Scattering data on a hard drive is normal. Have you heard about defragmenting? Downloading is just a matter of mapping out those data. Like in data-recovery. It's doable even if you lose your filesystem table.
Then you can just shoot or intercept any unregistered drone. Time to get my drone hunting license...
My parents have a dog, which LOVES cucumbers. It even looks like he likes them more than meat. When planted cucmbers are ripe, this dog looks under leaves and eats one every time he is near garden.
For NSA, if you use encryption, you ARE a suspect.
This whole "who prevents cargo from being stolen" argument is moot in my opinion. If a someone wants to steal cargo, they can threaten driver with a gun. Maybe he will be able to draw a gun soon enough, maybe not. If cargo is expensive enough, he may even be killed. Also only in US drivers can have a gun. In europe there is also many trucks. What happens when driver hears something strange at night? He just pretend he's still asleep so that thieves don't threaten him. Cargo is insured and his employer will prefer to have alive driver.
Smugglers are probably wringing their hands in anticipation, but hell, every advancement seems to have some tangential consequence.
Already done. http://arstechnica.com/tech-po... http://www.usatoday.com/story/...
Too late. We already did it voluntary.
Even better: Return from the Stars.
As an aside IMHO that article the other day asking about where is decent SciFi nowadays seemed to miss the point that for a good show character interactions and growth are what makes it good and that technology by itself is merely a prop.
In MY humble opinion, character interactions and growth makes a good space opera (SyFy), not SciFi.
Then one day a programmer notices the dependence on the uninitialized value, which would clearly produce a severe failure if fed the correct inputs, and he thinks "surely this hasn't been running for thirty years deployed on hundreds of thousands of nodes, and never triggered a fatal anomaly" and yet there it is.
And then it breaks simultaneously in the whole world.
So strong, that you are willing to go to jail for a few hours, at the very least.
Nope, now you can be accused of terrorism and held for a month just as an example or slapped with a nice fine of several thousand dollars for costs of detainment.
The point is, had he grown up in any other area in the country, this guy would be stocking shelves at Wal-Mart and complaining about "the system."
What can we say about NSA when such a guy can go in, take many secrets and publish them while successfully escaping wrath of The President?
Yes. You have this effect in double slit experiment, there are places where waves cancel out and you have dark place. The problem is that it's almost impossible to generate an inverse waveform from source other than the one which generated your photon. Typically it's done by splitting one waveform.
On the other hand I post very rarely and sometimes I have mod points even when I don't post. Maybe somehow slashdot also sends mod points to wrong users?
Happiness is twin floppies.
