Because I don't know even.
I read through the EFF posting but I am none the wiser.
It advertises low prices and has a capex budget for its first 10 years of precisely £0.00. All calls are therefore roaming calls, parasitic on the established four networks’ infrastructure.
This ain't no "roaming call". VultureNet is a "virtual operator" and I would guess they will have to pay the infrastructure provider buckos to carry traffic. "Roaming" is when you log in to another network to make the call, and I can tell you that fat files are changing hands servers daily for "reconciliation". "Parasitic" my lice-infested arse.
Also, these operator arguments sound very much like some of the stuff I was ordered to make up when employed a national incumbent operator (not UK) more than a decade ago. They nearly make sense.
So much White Man's Burden and "Woe is me"!
Stop considering Saudi Arabia as friend, Israel as the plucky champion, Iran as enemy and stop having the stupid idea that you can implant democracy wholesale in foreign lands that have been infected by yourselves with wild ideas back when you wanted to get the soviets out.
Enjoy the permafail.
"How will you make the ITU more relevant to the digital age?"
Very open-ended. So what has changed in the digital age that makes the ITU less or as much relevant as before? The hands-on work of small teams on digital communications? RFCs? Why make the ITU *more* relevant?
"Is the ITU content with its current status"?
"we know what caused this particular megadisaster, and it wasn't a senior manager; as mentioned in the article, it was an inexperienced member of IT staff screwing up a batch job."
Those events in the Berlin Bunker could all have been avoided if that inexperienced sergeant in Greece had properly followed procedures and applied a different key to his Lorentz machine on the second round!
Am I at the Register? I seem to be surrounded by cynical old bastards.
Because El Reg forums becomes more and more of an old pirate bar, with Orlowski ranting time and again from the upper stairway like a village priest to general rolling of eyes, and everyone hoping that they will still manage to actually see the world burn before the last bourbon is absorbed, while young ones stumble through the front door, full of wide-eyed naiveté and start to post things that apparently are full of earnest hope.
It's about as hard. Adding random bytes to your malware should do the trick. But you do need at least a man-in-the-middle attack situation to pull of the subsitution. OTOH, if you are forging material that has been digitally signed and is sitting on the notary's disk, you may well have all the time in the world.
"We need to get CEOs to do two things: live on food stamps for a week, or spend a night in a homeless shelter"
This is going to help how? Looks like she doesn't understand what a CEO actually is. If the shareholders want to spend the dividends, why not? The CEO has no authority to drop cash onto the streets and I would like to see him removed if that ever occurred.
Also, "Income Inequality" is a consequence, not a cause and not a problem. It is a consequence of protectionist measures, rent-seeking and the state making hiring people an ugly proposition. Did I mention calling CEOs criminals for having the temerity to do their job? Not to mention "industrial policies" of all sort.
With that kind of populist shit on the air, it's like we are really at a Marxist rally.
I think there are not enough swiss watchmakers for that.
That makes it hard for anyone, not just Spotify, to maintain an ethical business.
No, that assumes that the people who will pay for Miss Swifts albumas on amazon or wherever are the same as those that faff around with YouTube videos. Even after 10 years of repetition, it sounds weird to me, aking to talking up radio as the merciless killer of pop starlets.
It is a pity that people do not realise that code can be highly complex and that errors or bugs will happen.
It is a pity that formal verification methods are still considered with suspicion by the unwashed masses who would rather hack a wheelchair then test it than specify a bicycle and generate it.
Historically inaccurate.
Amazingly, the ships conveniently lined up in Pearl Harbor, were dreadnoughts that were from WWI except the Arizona. The crown jewels, the aircraft carriers, were otherwise occupied (either in the Atlantic or on resupply missions). Dodged a bullet there. Or, considering the clownish antics in trying to NOT tell Kimmel that he had a target painted on his back, maybe not.
Of course, the comparison fails otherwise anyway.
Well, yes they have - twas Governments that made the first steps into space - and no first step, no second step.
You seem to be confusing "promising to wipe out our cities" with "steps into space".
They are still promising btw, better and harder.
Well, why do you need a NTSB to do that? It's not like the spacecraft came together without any engineering. Is it like having a project manager?
Does design need to be changed, so the tail can't be deployed by mistake?
And who will come up with that idea?
Safety Board.
So basically they have looked long and hard at the tapes and come up with some stunning conclusions?
“We’re a long way from finding cause, we still have months and months of investigation to do, a lot that we don’t know and we have extensive data sources to go through,”
"Me gonna be employed for a loooong time."
I would understand this if a TWA 800 dumps into the ocean (then conveniently explains away explosive residue anyway), but this?
As the walls are only teflon with cheap china-sourced aluminium support, you would be looking at SUCKING DECOMPRESSION HORROR.
Also:
"The astronauts of the ISS certainly seem to have Anglophile tendencies, as they stick strictly to GMT, occupying the same time zone as the cockneys."
Didn't build the Honourable East India Company and all that imperial stuff for nothing, then?
The search engine is called Amazon.

Anyone who implements "licensing restrictions" deserves to be pirated to death into a festering heap of maggoty shares and unredeemable debt.
No, no, no: Tunny was broken by not Turing. The part about the Poles is correct though. See also: Hut 8.
Well, Korolev CAME FROM the gulag because "ZOMG HITLER, AYYY MOTHERLAND!", so there is that.
