This isn't America. They don't have to prove (in a court of law) that he wrote it. Their accusation is sufficient. The facebook page has his name on it, "everybody knows" that he wrote it.
The article misses the point (or skirts it).
India has the resources to provide electricity to every village. The problem is that politicians have created a system where there is little or no incentive to do so.
Electricity is a heavily regulated sector. Power producers cannot charge a fair price for electricity, instead they are required to comply with a complex pricing structure that forces them to give electricity free to some people, and below cost price to many others and recover the loss from a very small percentage of their customers who pay several times the fair market price.
Villagers are one of the categories of people who get electricity free (or subsidized, in some states). This is why nobody wants to bear the expense of running power lines to the villages.
Stuxnet.
American kids should not be allowed to get a computer science education.
Google cannot afford the legal liability of taking decisions on whether a DMCA notice is valid or invalid.
They will take down everything specified in every DMCA notice even if it is obviously bogus, because not doing so opens them up to a lawsuit. (a lawsuit alleging malafide intentions or a lawsuit for harm if they should make a mistake in deciding which part of the DMCA notice to honor and which to ignore.)
It is up to the harmed party (the owner of whatever was taken down) to challenge the DMCA takedown in a court. Once you win in court, Google will restore whatever was removed.
I'm on the phone so I won't google, but this is a very old story and if you go to the guy's website, he has a writeup of exactly how he did it. (and yes, the LEDs are hacked, they contain another hidden component)
cryptbin and snipt are blocked here (Vodafone network). I presume all the major ISPs have implemented the bans.
I think you should not have commented if you knew that your ISP doesn't care to enforce government ordered bans (I know some small ISPs can't afford the hardware to implement URL blocking.).

Something about this article rubs me the wrong way
Indeed. While I agree about the importance of discipline and safety in the cockpit, this article is slimy. This journalist gives off a mega sleazeball vibe.
How convenient that this article comes out just when people are discussing the US/British Regin malware.

Its actually the ksplice blog. :/
Oracle got their filthy hands on it when they bought Sun.
Have you seen the mikeselectricstuff youtube channel ? He did a teardown of a credit card reader. The "self wipe" functionality is implemented in a fairly simple way.
Reverse engineering silicon seems to have become the new "hacking". Everyone's doing it. Perhaps its time to come up with a term to describe the hardware equivalent of "script kiddie" ?
Typically the employee's father (or some similarly close relative) will sign a legal agreement with the employer promising to pay back the employee's wages if the employee disappears. (Legally I believe this is similar to a guarantor for a bank loan.)
Though this probably won't stand up in court, most employees wouldn't risk putting their own father through the trouble of finding out.
Why is it called a "womb" transplant rather than a uterus transplant ?
Womb is such a weird word to use.
The entire internet community came together to deride this
why the persecution complex ? Yes there was criticism, but there is always criticism of everything on the internet.
Another proud Indian.
Yes, copper cables have repeaters too. And I would expect them to work at similar voltages.
The only difference I can think of is that the amplifier power is probably a steady DC (and corresponding magnetic field) whereas the signal in copper will be varying voltages - creating a fluctuating magnetic field that repels the sharks ?
reread the usb spec. it will not ruin the USB port.
