From what I understand, the signature that some places require when making purchases with a credit card isn't used for authentication, but is used as a legal agreement to promise that you'll actually honor the payment, and not try to cancel/dispute the charge later on.
They completely underestimated how much of a pain in the ass and how costly it is to go up against established local incumbents (see: at&t). Google's hubris preceded them on this one.
Most people don't care about HDMI-CDC any more, because they have bluetooth remotes. This is superior anyway.
Don't you mean HDMI-CEC? If so, you are wrong. Using one remote to control everything is far less shitty than having to sift through a pile of remotes to do what you want. It's especially nice when running Kodi on something that supports it (like, say a Raspberry Pi).
Don't be retarded. Facial recognition is just one of many possible forms of authentication, the others being the fingerprint reader, and of course your passcode.
Make no mistake, this is simply AT&T trying to stall the deployment of Google Fiber. They tried to do the same shit here in Austin, not to mention other shady shit (like trying to persuade all of the local AT&T employees to write a letter to city council stating why it's unfair for the City to force them to allow Google on their poles).
There will always be a market for "real" meat, even if/when lab-grown meat becomes a viable solution. Traditional meats will become luxury items (steak, meats used for BBQ (ribs, brisket, etc)), whereas lab-grown meat (once the process has been perfected) will be used in lower-cost products (ground meat, hot dogs, etc).
You mean $50k radios, with access to highly regulated frequencies, in bands that are far better suited for long-range communication provide a better connection than the cheap pieces of shit most people put in their homes, usually in awful locations, on an unregulated and congested frequency band? Man, I'm shocked.
"To be sure, all cars of the future will need to communicate wirelessly, but what Comcast won’t acknowledge is that they won’t need the internet to do it. "
Sure, they don't need it, but it sure as hell is a lot cheaper to use than implementing their own infrastructure.
Been working entirely from home for the past 3ish years, and I absolutely love it. No daily commute, so I don't start the work day already in a bad mood, not to mention the amount of money I save not having to buy gas all the time. Then there's the savings from eating lunch at home every day. It'd take a lot to convince me to go back into the office.

Spectrum had a similar outage in my area (Austin) last week. I wonder if this is an outside attack on mainstream cable providers?
I might have believed that claim 30 or so years ago
Well, seeing as law enforcement and the judicial system still operate like it's 30 years ago, it makes sense.
It's a big deal getting hired again when your previous employer argues that you were terminated for "performance reasons".
It's a good thing that businesses aren't allowed to ask your previous employer why you terminated then.
Vaping by itself is completely harmless with nicotine being on par with caffeine in terms of harm and effects.
Wrong. Last I checked, caffeine was suspected to cause hardening of your arteries like nicotine is.

I've seen people with psychology degree's go into HR a few times.
Any why should it? Are you accessing or supplying anything that's top secret?
P.S. The user authentication page does submit the user credentials via HTTPS: https://secure.zdnet.com/user/...
Ah, good 'ol Trumpet Winsock.
My desktop has been linux for maybe 9 years now. started centos 5 with no windows boot after dual booting fedora/windows since the 90s.
I'm pretty sure Fedora didn't exist in the '90s. I assume you mean Red Hat?
Eventually a smartphone/device/whatever will come along and whack Google over the head. This type of change none of us see coming until it happens.
You mean like the iPhone did in 2007?
Would you prefer these distros not exist then?

I cannot even begin to comprehend how a person would think that is a worthwhile investment to watch at home.
For a single person, yes that's insane. However, most people get a bunch of their friends together and everyone throws in a little bit.

Sounds like they need a good SJW purge. Go and start your little fork and let's see who comes up with the better product.

So, when taxes apply to a largely 'progressive' demographic, they're bad, but when they apply to everybody else who isn't them then it's good?
The ac/heating system doesn't remove most pollutants, including CO.
Yes, that's what the "recirculation" setting is for.
How will the cost of loans be raised for future borrowers? Interest rates are what determines the cost.
Have you never had a mortgage before? Closing costs alone can total upwards of $5,000, which isn't exactly a drop in the bucket.
