In 2009 they tested this with a 700MB file. It took 70 minutes for the pigeon to do it. The ISP failed completely. A car took twice as long (but could carry a lot of tapes.) The pigeon, basically, has 50% the latency overhead of the car but can't carry a fraction as much information. The ISP is effectively useless.

If in 2009 the pigeon could do 700MB in 70 minutes, today it could do 512GB in the same time! That's like an 800x increase in speed.

Current pigeon speeds would be 7GB per minute or 122MB/s which is 975Mb/s. Pigeons in Australia are basically matching Gigabit Fiber speeds!!

Some of those I have not even heard of .

Piggy backing on one of the other threads. If it was an insider, how do you think the FTC would have grounds to sue? I don't think there is a way to stop something like this unless no employees have access to the data.

Be kind of hard for the FTC to sue a Canadian company.

Haha good point. It was just a hypothetical about this type of situation.

In the 2 hours since, It is now working fine.

It was throwing up malicious content warnings and forcing the page to close down.

I understand the additional points such as automated validation and the open records, but you can get free SSL certificates through StartSSL. The companies who don't want to pay for an SSL certificate (or do the research to find a free one) are most likely using shared hosting or some kind of managed hosting that costs extra to enable the SSL certificate anyway. So if they aren't going to pay the money for the cert, I can't see them paying extra per month to enable the free cert on their hosting.

Yup, got those email notices yesterday. Thankfully, I should only have a few random desktop shortcuts to correct.

Panama does spy on unencrypted emails. But that is not surprising.

This dramatically increases my willingness to work in China.

This is actually surprisingly powerful for what they are doing with it. Quad cores for a little thing like that? I wonder if it ever gets utilized in any serious way.
