Great. More flakes driving around with my purchases, showing up late or not at all.
If they can pay a random dude in a car $18-25, maybe they could just pay UPS/FedEx a buck more, and let them figure out how to do it.
So that everyone could simply have a web page stating "As of today's date, your name has not received a National Security Letter".
It's not against the law to remove a web page (yet).
Fortunately, the Telephone Museum, AKA The New England Museum of Telephony in Ellsworth, Maine hasn't burned down.
This museum has several *working* switches, including a #3 and a #5 crossbar switch, dozens of switchboards, and other cool stuff. http://thetelephonemuseum.org/exhibits/
The Digital Command Control (DCC) standard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... has made operation and control of hobby trains more realistic and allows for much better computer control and sensing of layouts.
Of course, it also adds cost to what already can be an expensive hobby, but just being able to run two trains on a single track without a collision is pretty cool.
Older smartphones don't have enough available memory to host the apps released today. Chrome simply won't run right, or even fit on an 8 MB phone, with Cyanogenmod installed and all vendor crap removed.
If you want to do the right thing, donate the phones to any of the countless charities that accept them, take a tax deduction, and donate that amount to another charity. Making them work for the intended purpose is their problem.
Wipe it (all phones have a factory reset option), remove the SIM, and mail it off.
I installed Cyanogenmod on my old Kindle Fire, and use it as my dedicated 'Chromecast remote'. No PIN, no locking. It is well suited to this task. I also run an app that simulates my TV's remote so I can adjust audio, etc.
It's called "historicity". An item that is an actualization of a historic event. Apple I represents the start of a major cultural, if not technological, shift.
This is exactly what happened to me, due to the Anthem breach.
Here's a hint: call the IRS at exactly 0800 ET, when the lines open. I waited on hold for about 2 minutes, and it took approximately 45 minutes to complete the process.
NOTE: Check your junk mail carefully. I detected the fraud because a 'Green Dot' prepaid debit card arrived in the mail. The fraudster had purchased a generic card retail with $10 loaded on it, as the IRS, in their infinite wisdom, accepts these accounts for refund payments.
It was registered with my name and address, so Green Dot "helpfully" sent me a personalized card.
I froze the card, but the fraudulent return had already been filed. Fortunately, the IRS was unable to make the (fraudulent) refund payment to the (now frozen) debit card (and even helpfully sent a letter about it). So I screwed the fraudster out of $10.
I've been told I might see my (legitimate) refund in 6 months.
From CableTown's press release:
"Gigabit Pro will be available to any home within close proximity of Comcast’s fiber network and will require an installation of professional-grade equipment."
I'm going to assume here that was after 1982, when AT&T was broken up. Before that time there was only measured service (folks of a certain age will remember the Kafkaesque hell that was "message units". Unlimited local calling is a recent invention, and had the unfortunate timing to be introduced about the same time as the Hayes modem.
Livestock are fed an enormous quantity of sub-therapeutic doses of antibiotics to stimulate weight gain.
Those animals piss and shit those drugs where it eventually ends up in the water supply.
The difference between industrial agriculture and pharma factories in India/China is that agriculture pays for the drugs.
My auth.log is crammed on a daily basis with access attempts from.cn addresses.
It would be hard to be taken seriously as a cyber superpower if one strike could sever your connection to the internet. This is just redundancy.
What happens when the 'casual beachgoer' misses the victim, hits them with their drone, or their drone crashes due to to the payload, or from hitting another beachgoer's drone? Lawsuits.
A floatation device doesn't have to support weight, it has to be buoyant, which isn't the same thing.
The blades (ducted fans, actually) can be guarded with mesh, the batteries can be designed and sized for one-time use.
Using naturally buoyant foam is simpler than an inflatable. Even if the drone fails, it will float.
Post-Snowden, they would have been perfectly placed to argue that theirs was the only secure communicator available to the public.
But then they rolled over for India, of all places, trading backdoors for market share.
The security niche might have given them the breathing space to hold on, but when that was gone, it removed the only cogent argument for corporations to not buy iPhones instead.
However, the fact that all the drives far exceeded their endurance specifications bodes well for the endurance of consumer-grade SSDs in general.
No, I think it means that the first ones were over-engineered, and the next generation will meet their stated MTBF number to within 1 standard deviation.
They get lucky with a hit design, which drags in new clients that never attain anywhere near the same level of success, but lets IDEO coast along until lightning strikes again?

Deeply embed the tools required in the device itself. As long as the box exists, the tools exist.

The ring is a large but lightweight foam torus. Why not just embed the rotors directly, and fly the ring itself out to the swimmer?
