You forgot the smart wearable devices that track your GPS location, heart rate, pedometer, and graphs all your daily activities into a neat little dashboard that's accessible in the cloud. Don't forget to get order all your groceries online!
This doesn't surprise me, use to live in Bellingham WA. There are "DOT" cameras that go from south Bellingham all the way to the Canadian border on both sides of i5. I forget how often there are, perhaps 2-5 miles? I understand that some are used for DoT cams, but I always theorized that if the lenses are good enough they could zoom in and potentially read plates. The camera's look like regular light poles, you have to be paying attention to actually see them.
>The current development status is far from being worth called "version 1.0". However, if I could get you interested in this project and you feel like contributing, don't hesitate to ping me by e-mail...

From what I understand, it's the culture. Watch VICE documentaries on Japan's sex culture. No one wants to have kids when the price of living is high, 80 hour work weeks, both male and female are the work force, and sex is viewed as a non-romantic "come and go" as you please pass time. Having kids in Japans high level business/work culture is a tremendous setback. They can't afford that kind of downtime.
Because sometimes desk jockeys within the IT world put on their blue collar, settle for a mediocre salary, grow 4-6 pant sizes, and think "this is good enough"
Up until new blood walks up, points out a flaw, and fucks shit up because the "senior" desk jockey can barely squirm out of his $1000 computer chair to reach his keyboard.
That's just my take on it, if Lizard Squad states that it has taken them minimal effort to setup these attacks; then what's stopping a larger organization from doing such things?
I use BeamSyncDropper v2 and have it open on startup. The only downsize is it takes a bit for the terminal window to load and execute the shell script. If you have an SSD this shouldn't be a problem, just be patient for that 2-3 seconds of painstaking peasantry. xD
Also one thing about OS X running in VMWare is make sure you're using the specific CPU to the fullest potential. Graphics are rendered with the use of CPU. If you don't have the processor(s) / cores set properly you could be only at 50% overall performance. For example, I am currently using an i3 330UM. I've noticed a significant jump in performance switching from single processor 2 cores; to 2 processors 4 cores.
Personally, Mavericks outperformed Yosemite on this little machine. I've experienced long window load times, hangs, and even guest crashes since the jump... My main desktop workstation is rocking an i7-930; I WILL NOT upgrade my main VMWare workstation to Yosemite. If I need to I will just clone my current VMWare image and run Mavericks / Yosemite in tandem. I would much prefer Mavericks > Yosemite...
This letter seems like a blanket that Sony's lawyers are laying out across @BikiniRobotArmy and pinning Twitter with a wall of federal and state law violation claims. Does anyone have information on what material @BikiniRobotArmy actually "published" ??? Did he upload the 26GB Sony dump into a Tweet? Did he upload a picture he found on Google Images? Did he retweet Greenwald?
Yeah... this isn't new at all... it's a concept design, it doesn't actually function. Last time I saw this it was blown out of proportion in /r/futurology and people had to damage control to explain to people it wasn't actually science...
TL;DR: Ballistic Capture aka "Low-energy transfer" is being rekindled by NASA, Boeing, Belbruno, Topputo and colleagues. Fly the spacecraft ahead of Mars in formation of the planets orbit relative to the sun allowing gravity to gradually slow the spacecraft down. This saves on fuel/weight for entering orbit at high velocity.
