    After that white collar crime rates went up because the criminals became smarter.

    The US can buy China made vaccins. For the right price of course...

  3. But they already have a censored search engine on Rights Groups Are Demanding That Google Doesn't Release A Censored Search Engine In China (buzzfeednews.com) · · Score: -1

    The companies that rulke the US made Google already censor everything that hampers their imaginary property.

  4. Yes but that requires an exploit to root the device, and when you do that already there's no need to unlock the bootloader anymore. I have a Z3 Compact with TWRP and root, which I rooted by downgrading the kernel, using an exploit and then upgrading the kernel again. That gave me TWRP with a locked bootloader.

  5. On Samsung it's relatively easy although not officially supported. Sony has the same mechanism Huawei had (mail for the unlock code), but because that wipes the Trim Area with code than increases the camera quality it is better to unlock / root a Sony device with a kernel exploit.

    It can just as well mean that living in the anthills that they currently call cities reduces your intelligence. In the US you can see something similar: Hillaries biggest supporters live in the big cities. The country life if much healthier.

    Yet. You never know what Disney-style lawyers can come up with.

    Fine. Is the $35,000 model 3 finally available or can you still only order the model with many unwanted extra's?

    The probable cause is in the first part: she was a muslim and wears a hijab. They should have stripsearched her too and then refused her entry.

    Using Taylor series those tables can be rebuilt in a few man-years. How do you think those tables were made initially?

    I still have my fx-9000G. Sometimes I could use it, sometimes I had to revert to a small scientific pocket calculator (fx 98).

    So what? I can download far more advanced calculators on Google Play for free, even versions without ads for under $10 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=us.mathlab.android.calc.edu). If you insist on using a TI you can download plenty of TI emulators; TI distributes the ROM's that they use themselves (and otherwise they can be found on many indy sites).

    I remember even a short SF story from Asimov where someone invented manual calculus and saved lots of money on electronic calculators in the end...

    And schools are the only thing that keeps the TI calculator division alive. I still have some calculators in cold storage, including the Casio Fx-9000G I bought at my first year in university, but I now use the far more advanced software available on my phone as calculator. Far more powerfull and flexible.

    After that coup, Mueller will be installed as president for life and all who oppose him will be locked up in labor camps for being Putin supporters. In the resulting civil war Putin will be hailed as liberator of the US when he finally decides to interfere and go for regime change.

  20. They hope, and often openly speculate, that the government will ban non-self driving cars. How to deal with bikers and pedestrians is a question they usually won't answer.

    Well, at least Trump did not (yet?) start any of the many wars Hillary had promised. That's a big plus in my book.

    > but there is usually no way to contact the perspective employer and this is by design

    I don't know if it is different where you live, but when a recruiter aranges a job interview for me he has to tell me at least where and when to show up and who to ask for at the reception. Otherwise it will be difficult to continue the process. Once I know the company I can look up its phone number before I leave and call them when I'm stuck in a traffic jam.

    Next to the Hillary supporters.

  24. Just parse the website, like a tool like Tinfoil for Twitter does.

    What is much worse is that twitter is in league with the MSM to censor people they don't like such as Alex Jones.
