No, sorry, you are thinking of what happens in the low court. In the high court of "gov'ment impotent peoples", this will just blow over in time as the general masses get hosed over. There will never be any repercussions for the power brokers in the high court like Pai.
Isn't that a crime punishable by time in Ft. Leavenworth? Just some friendly advice, he is part of the "high court", don't hold your breath waiting for the charges to be filed. They got the kid, crisis over.
Not that the congress critters are going to notice this without a gun to their head, but it took me all of about 10 seconds to notice the spam comments in alphabetical order by name. And to make it really fun, it starts with 2 Tiffanys.
I work as a software developer and getting devices correctly configured can be hard. Just bricking them is dumb. It would be nice if they got smart, configured it correctly, and changed the password to their own. Many people are of the "plug and play" variety. If the gadget can just plug in and start working they are happy.
I know it is easy to say people are too stupid, but my mother just turned 80. She doesn't want to learn about URL's, browsers, IP addressing, and so on. If her router would just plug in and she can get on "The Internet" she is happy.
Since these hackers are so smart they can hack in and brick the routers and other gadgets, why not fix them? Apply the patches and then secure the router with a new ID and password. Make it a random password and secure it in a database so that they can go back and apply updates as necessary.
Most likely the IOT owners will never even know they were hacked. If they do a reset so that they can gain some control, they will at least have an updated and patched system. Make it even better, include a custom patch that will force a password entry, even if they forget the password they put in, it won't be a default one. Especially don't let them use one from the books (like password, 1234, and etc.).
Since I live near the coast of the Chesapeake Bay, am I in the country or not? Or am I in that nebulous 100 to 103 mile "Constitution Free" zone (that is still governed by US law but not the constitution)?
How can someone that is covered by US law that is granted by the power of the constitution not be covered by the constitution when it comes to the non-LEO rights?
OK, let me get this straight, a state AG filing a headline getting lawsuit. That means there is an election coming soon and the taxpayers are going to pay for the AG name recognition to get the AG elected to something. What did I miss?
The way trade deals are supposed to work are as a non-zero sum game where everybody is better off. Since they are discussing it as a "who wins" situation, then they are approaching it from the wrong perspective. Of course, it would really help if it were a trade deal and not a "how can my big legacy company lock in more profits for the next decade" deal.
In a real trade deal, citizens would come out the winners, not the huge conglomerate companies. But we know that won't be happening with Trump involved.
If they put their minds to it, they can do really smart things
I'm willing to work on that. Pay me what I deserve for working on the impossible and a budget for 100 of my closest friends to work on it and we will. I mean after all, if we self-identify as nerds and are going to get thrown, we at least deserve a big enough salary for being impugned with labels and sent off to work on an impossible problem.
Well then, if transparency is actually the game, then why not specify up front what is included in the advertised monthly fee?
Let's see how that will look in cable-company-speak:
"Everything is included except for what is currently listed below the line as additional fees and any other fees that we decide to hide below the line later"
The FBI is leaking like a sieve in this case because this is how Comey is "controlling the narrative". That is what is becoming important in the law enforcement community. Seeking justice is not as important as controlling the narrative and getting a conviction.
The interesting thing about automotive legislation is that so far goals are set instead of methods. That allows room for innovation to still meet the goals without being overbearing. For example, an MPG goal was set and some automakers changed the frame and bodywork to make them lighter but still safe, others improved the engine to get higher conversion rate from fuel to available energy.
I've heard a saying that a boat is just a hole in the water that you keep throwing money in. This Cyberwar is just going to be another "war" like the war on drugs, where our tax dollars are going to disappear down a dark hole, never to be seen again (well except as some corporate executives private jet).
Once it starts (and I'm guessing that it already has, Stuxnet anybody) it will never end. It will just be talking points, secret interpretations of secret laws and a very big bill for taxpayers. There will never ever be the part of the story that says "The End".
Now instead of all that trouble with trials, just sue someone out of the country that won't show up for the trial (how can they actually be in jurisdiction) and get a default judgement against a bunch of un-involved third parties who have to submit to the judgement. That's going to fill up the courts very soon. Just wait until the thin-skinned president finds out that this work.s The US courts are going to be filled with all kinds of suits against people in Turkey to force down the content he doesn't like. Easy-peasy and no actual trial to worry about.
