Meh. Youtube.com and www.youtube.com are different URLs, too, as are gmail.com and mail.google.com, and if I thought about it I could come up with a dozen different examples where the same content is accessible from different hostnames at the same level in the hierarchy as well. I fail to see how any of this matters. The same content is visible to the same people (everyone, or a more limited set if you chose to limit it).

Enough do.

Depends on the company. At small companies, there is no HR filter. At large companies there usually is, but at the smarter ones the resumes go into a searchable database and the hiring manager searches it for matches, which is at least a bit better than HR.

Or the fact that only a complete moron would have the C&C computers on the same network as user computers. and what idiot is trying to edit his files on the C&C systems?

Viruses cant magically jump a real airgap, no they cant no matter what some recent fiction passed off as real wants it to exist. So all ofthis is wild speculation on the part of a guy trying to scare people into buying his products.

*facepalm* of course it is anchored to the sea floor, or how do you think it is keeping its position when it is operating? Hint: when it operates wind is blowing at it :)

In space, no one can hear you sudo.

Yes, floating wind plants are a proven thechnology. There plenty of reference plants, e.g. in Norway. And if not: what exatly would you need proof for? What is the damn difference versus a fixed installation? Sigh ...

The Lunar Lander was 100% virus proof.
In fact run your software directly on the iron and you can make it virus proof, the OS is your attack vector. If you eliminate the OS then you dont have the problem.
I dont see arduinos getting viruses.

The radiation is a few hundret times higher than background radiation, or why exactly is there 20km forbidden zone and a 40km evac zone?
In a 200km zone young couples get urged by authorities not to get children ... food grown in that area is not safe for children and young adults, people try to avoid it.

Tsunami's tend to only be bad where they hit coasts or shallow water. In the open ocean and deep water they move very fast but wave height is usually never more than a meter.

WHY DOES half the population of the world ruins shit and hold the other half back? (half being just an arbitrary number)
because 90% of anything is crap. count yourself lucky that it's only 50%

Well, demand is inelastic if you assume it to be.

Nonsense. People care about safety of their vehicles. A lot. The one thing that government regulators did that really made a difference was to establish safety testing protocols and mandate that they be applied. Vehicle safety has far outstripped the regulatory baseline requirements, because once reliable vehicle safety information was available it became a major selling point, which caused the invisible hand to get really serious about safety.

IMO, this illustrates the most effective form of government regulation: Ensure that high-quality, reliable comparative product information is widely available, then let purchasing decisions drive the market. Granted there are cases in which an information-only approach isn't sufficient, but they're not the common case, and it's always better to try the light touch first in the absence of compelling evidence that it won't work.

Well, until someone decides to copy them, anyway. Trying to control stuff you post on the public Internet is... optimistic.

In any case, I think you're under some misapprehension that Google+ is somehow distinct from YouTube. YouTube comments aren't "being posted" on Google+. It's the same system.

Yeah, I dropped Facebook for the same kind of crap, except that I didn't wait for them actually to spread something about me around. As soon as I noticed they had lowered my privacy settings without even notifying me, I deleted the account. Google doesn't do that sort of thing. Well, they did a milder form of it once (Buzz auto-friending), but learned the lesson -- and got slapped with an FTC consent decree that mandates all sorts of internal and external review of Google's privacy-related actions, so even if Google hadn't internalized the lesson already, the FTC watchdogs are there to make sure.
