The story the other day was the Amazon was making cheap switches. Plenty of companies make cheap switches. Several make decent switches. That's not Cisco's market. Cisco sells IOS, and now IOS XR. A panel of ethernet jacks is a commodity that doesn't compete with what Cisco does.
Well, yes and no. What Amazon are likely doing are building their own switches for Software Defined Networking. It is a potentially disruptive technology, because it means cheap switches will do the work of expensive ones. For now it makes sense mostly for the big cloud vendors because the software is immature, and needs careful design. AWS is about building reliable systems out of cheap commodity components by getting the software right, so it's a natural fit.
Whilst Cisco doesn't have anything to worry about yet, the networking world is where the Unix world was 30 years ago: everyone has their own almost-compatible OS, with their own quirks, and some have better premium features than others. It's overdue a shake-up.
basically there's something really, really wrong with society, that people with the willingness to study and further science are basically quite literally in some cases expected to starve themselves.
I don't think it's wrong that society is not expected to fund people's hobbies. If people want to try to lead into gold or whatever 'non-standard science' on their own time, that's fine. Don't expect me to pay for it though.
The bank lost the money. The still owes the customers their funds. The customers only loose if the bank goes out of business.
Customers generally don't lose when the bank goes out of business because of deposit protection. They generally do lose when they authorize the transfer of funds to a fraudster, although in this case customers may be luckier than usual because the bank is partly at fault for not having enough people to answer the phone.
Am I the only one who finds it strange that two supposedly redundant systems are housed under the same roof, or at least so close together that both of them can be damaged by the same fire?
Possibly. At some point you need to join your A and B feeds together; unless you are going to put dual power supplies into just about everything, which would be wildly impractical for something as large as an airport.
Either way, the point is that there are a finite number of chess games.
You are right but for the wrong reason: as both the draw by repetition and 50-move rule are only draws if claimed as such they don't actually place an upper limit on the game.
However, I learnt something new today: the 75 move rule and 5 times repetition rule automatically end the game in a draw. So, it's true there a a finite number of chess games but only since 2014 when the laws were amended.
Honestly, only way I can see any reasonable person be upset over this is if they don't know about the riots that took place under Trump's inauguration, that this site was used to organize the demonstrations and that the information request is limited to rioting-related posts.
The information request wasn't limited to rioting related posts; the DoJ wanted a bulk dump which they could scan through after. That's a really different thing.
People use X for criminal activity, therefore it's OK for us to harvest data from X is problematic. People have used Facebook to organise riots, would it be OK to mine Facebook? They need to look through data from long before the election to catch Inauguration day rioters? No concerns about that?
To quote the FA: "Morin said at a hearing on Thursday that he recognized the tension between free speech rights and law enforcement's need to search digital records for evidence."
I don't understand why any reasonable person shouldn't, in the light of that, think it appropriate to discuss or not whether the safeguards that Judge Morin has added are sufficient or not. I just wish there was some sensible discussion instead of just crude name calling - I guess I'll have to go to popehat for that.
Juries often can't make up awards in civil trials.
Not least because there often isn't a jury; in this case, there wasn't a judge either. The regulator sets a penalty and if you don't like it you can appeal. The maximum penalty they can apply is £500 000.
Now I hate spammers as much as anyone but using the opt-out list, except when it was broken, makes them minor league assholes.
Penalties for this sort of thing will get a lot higher when new EU regulations come into force next year. And probably grandfathered in when we leave the EU, unless we plan on being the spamming capital of Europe.
The one good thing, nay, GREAT thing about NHS is that only the strong survive, and so the gene pool doesn't fade like it does in the US and other countries with the will and the means to spend 15% of their GDP on medical care.
Don't worry, the inefficiency of US healthcare more than makes up for the amount spent on it.
All my windows machines have 64-bit Windows installed, but I have already installed the 32-bit version of Firefox on them (because that was the default at the time). How about automatically UPGRADING my 32-bit Firefox to 64-bit on machines that can handle it?
This is scheduled for the next release, Firefox 56.
The article didn't make a whole load of sense to me. Amazon can give away £1000 of shares and the employess don't pay tax as long as they hold them for 5 years. https://www.gov.uk/tax-employe...
The employee may end up paying capital gains tax on the sale if they end up with a pile of shares and sell them in one tax year. The first £11 000 or so of profit is free, so unlikely to be an issue for most people.
But Amazon have found a neat trick to avoid corporation tax which is actually paying your employees? No idea WTF that was about.
So what's to prevent them from back dating new certificates?
They've been caught once. It wouldn't be hard to run a query against the EFF SSL Observatory (or similar) and see if there is a pattern of new certificates appearing with dates before the cutoff.
"Maths" is an error based on misunderstanding that fact.
Nonsense, maths is a shortening of mathematics. It's perfectly valid to pick some letters from the start and the end when shortening a word. Saying it's based on pluralizing math is just completely bogus etymology.
It's as if "disable SMBv1" has simply become a knee-jerk reaction to SMB bugs, and people are no longer listening to the details of new attacks.
“The case offers no serious security implications and we do not plan to address it with a security update,” a Microsoft spokesperson told Threatpost. “For enterprise customers who may be concerned, we recommend they consider blocking access from the internet to SMBv1.”
Looks like Microsoft didn't get their story straight at first.
If you look at the title of the spreadsheet, or scroll right and see that the totals add to 100%, you'll discover that it's about the breakdown of taxes and nothing to do with the total amount of taxes.
So, in a way you are correct: Norway is relatively up front in taxing income and raising money in other ways. Poor research in the original article though.

So, the BBC is asking Microsoft to do a deep-dive search across ALL OneDrive user accounts looking for a single file?
BS
No. They want Microsoft to identify who posted the linked file: see the TF article.

So, Scarlett Johansson then.

Now that these expensive 300-400 workers have been removed from the total cost of producing said jeans, the consumer price will surely drop.

But outside the USA, generic brands have to use the term "acetylsalicylic acid" because Bayer owns the name ASPIRIN®.
No. Aspirin is considered generic in the UK, and lots of other places.

He was imprisoned for unauthorized access to a computer under the CFAA. Commonly, that's hacking.

That isn't the original article:
Correction, 11:04 a.m. PT: This article initially misrepresented the nature of the "vandalism" on Wet Republic's website.

How is this three standard deviations?
It is if you believe their stated accuracy as it's much higher than previous work.
