Con man would be more fitting. How many of his "hacks" involved social engineering? I doubt he's above entrapping innocent people either, if he thinks it will get him less time.

I actually meant wireless so that you wouldn't have to be present inside the tank, you would control the gun remotely. You would still use wired controllers, but you would use wireless networking to control the tank close by. As long as you

If they can use video and controllers like that to control the gun, what would stop them from making it wireless? I would imagine the benefit of using something like that remotely would be worth the risk of possible signal interception.

That's cute. :-) Complexity is like beauty though. A programmer can turn something as trivial as a command line calculator into one of the worlds greatest feats of engineering. Where you are mistaken is your assumption that given enough tim

It looks like you didn't get the memo. Those of us who embrace this magical nocturnal world don't praise it to the day walkers. It gives them the terrible idea that it may be good for them to try. If this pattern were to continue, our reign

Another point to add is the worst case scenario is hardly ever as bad as you think its going to be. Its very easy to over-estimate the amount of work it will take to recover from a setback. Sometimes it takes experiencing a setback before y

The non-sharia controlled parts have been better off than they were with their previous government. Their air travel industry is even profitable, more than we can say. I'd say that's a lot more than you could ask for considering the exploit

Hi. Anarchist here, I do hate government. Government in my opinion is an unnecessary tragedy that has befallen humanity and murdered close to 1 billion people. This is by far the most intelligent community I have come across in all my inter

Well on the bright side, this would still close the gap between artificial intelligence and human intelligence a little more.

That would be fine if it were voluntary. But you cannot opt out. If you try to opt out, you go to jail. I didn't ask the government to do any of that for me, and I would prefer they didn't. I can't fix someones car without telling them, and
