Proof that You Used The Other OS Functionality. The following are acceptable forms of proof of use:
proof that you purchased a version of Linux that was compatible with and was installed on your Fat PS3 before April 1, 2010;
proof that you downloaded a version of Linux that was compatible with and was installed on your Fat PS3 before April 1, 2010;
a screenshot (or picture) showing Linux operating on your Fat PS3;
a screenshot (or picture) showing that a portion of your PS3 hard drive is still formatted for the Other OS with Linux installed;
proof of communication between you and SCEA or a third party dated before December 31, 2010 that discusses your use of the Other OS or concerns with Update 3.21 due to your use, including but not limited to, copies of an email from or message board posting by you containing such discussion; or
any other documentary proof that you used the Other OS before April 1, 2010 that the Settlement Administrator reasonably determines to be valid.
Use them for VR, turn them into SBCs, sell them as USB-powered dev kits... there's plenty of uses for such a marvel of technology that do not require an onboard battery.
I mean, by that logic, Slashdotters should be moderating Slashdot.
Seriously though, regulators, like bosses, need to have experience in their industries. Every week we boo and hiss at clueless legislators coming in and trying to regulate the Internet or ban encryption or somesuch. The challenge is finding 'insiders' who can still see things in a broader perspective and aren't in the pocket of the people they're supposed to be regulating (a.k.a. regulatory capture). They're tough to find, but if you look hard enough you can find good people like Tom Wheeler.
I've read through some of the emails and so far I haven't found anything damning, just politically inconvenient truths. It's sad we've become so accustomed to pandering and sugar-coated soundbytes that when politicians actually speak honestly it leaves us sour.
Depends on the color. Normal (24bpp RGB) means around 50GBit/s at 60Hz. HDR may increase the bitrate, chroma subsampling (lower color resolution) may decrease it.
DisplayPort 1.3 tops out at 26GBit/s, barely enough for 30Hz 24-bit.
DisplayPort 1.4 is the same speed but adds compression that should permit 60Hz HDR.
HDMI doesn't currently support 8k at any refresh rate but may be superseded in a couple years by SuperMHL, which supposedly will handle 8K at 120Hz.
For the same reason people like laptops: looks better, no cable mess, less space required, easy to relocate. Nothing wrong with that.
But the problem with most all-in-ones is that manufacturers aren't really serious about them and manufacture them in limited quantities. Once they're taken off the market the parts channels dry up fast, so when something like a power supply fails the machine is toast.
Because of this, the iMac is about the only AIO I'd recommend; it's not hard to find replacement parts for ones even a decade old. Let the fashion-conscious buy this Surface AIO for now; in a few years, if Microsoft stays committed and sales are strong, I might give it a closer look.
Amazon doesn’t disclose the number of Prime members, but analysts estimate it’s in the range of 50 million to 60 million people, approaching or surpassing half the U.S. population.
Did Trump start the apocalypse already, or am I trapped in a static warp bubble again?
Many from the right-wing fringe actually believe that, even though the Chinese are far and away the greatest victims of inferior and contaminated Chinese goods.
It's a complete rewrite, and it uses a lot more *standards* like ES6 and Web Components. Many of the changes in Angular 2 have been replacing Angular's own features with polyfills awaiting native browser support.
Admittedly the new standards are, well, new and take some getting used to, but they add a lot of sorely needed improvements and in time developers will be glad Angular went this route rather than sticking with their old workarounds and proprietary implementations.
The language just turned two years old, and they've been saying for a while that the language wouldn't be 'stable' until version 3.0.
Nothing is perfect on day one, after all, and Swift borrowed a lot of terribly ugly library methods from Obj-C to make the transition easier. Cleaning all that up for 3.0 will cause some short-term headaches but make future code a lot less cumbersome.
Hopefully from here on the changes will be relatively minor.
My default response to a manager pushing you to pursue a stupid/easily gamed goal is to leave ASAP.
Yeah, by that point it's usually too late. By the time they notice their algorithm is being gamed they've already been rating employees on it for a while, so now they'be got the dishonest employees who happily gamed the system and never cared about the company, the formerly honest ones who started gaming the system to keep their jobs (and now resent the company), and the rest have been laid off or, like you, left for a better job.
Even ditching the rating system won't get the good employees back. Welcome to Dilbertland. Well, for a while at least, before they ditch the whole underperforming department and replace them all with H-1Bs.
Ambassadorships to friendly countries, the UK in particular, have always been given as rewards to political friends. You could count the number of people who became UK ambassador on merit on one hand which had been run through a wood chipper.
The reason you didn't know about this before is because it never became an issue. Tuttle made a bit of a kerfuffle a decade ago, but it takes a lot to start a diplomatic incident with a close ally and being ambassador to the UK or France or Australia really requires no great skill as a peacemaker. If you were being particularly charitable, you could even say that fundraisers and diplomats have a lot in common.
Everyone has plenty of dirty laundry, including you and me. 'Innocent until proven guilty' is an excellent attitude in criminal court, but the attitude 'innocent until doxxed' skews our perceptions and gives power to doxxers. Honestly I'm a bit surprised these leaks haven't found more than 'omg, politics at political party!'
Remember, parties are not obligated to be democratic or unbiased. Legally and constitutionally there's only one vote, the general election in November. Anyone* can be nominated as a candidate for that election, and if both parties decided to nominate whomever they pleased they might be breaking their own rules but not the law. Everything up to and including the conventions is just meant to give supporters a feel of involvement and to remove unpopular candidates without invoking the wrath of their supporters. But the parties want to win, and if one candidate seems more 'electable' you can bet the party will give then a leg up on the rest.
'Lithium Polymer' is really just a packaging technology, the cells are still lithium-ion and charge and discharge the same as metal housed batteries.
The 'memory effect' in lithium-ion is generally considered negligible, or at least far less significant than the stress caused by charging batteries to capacity.
I don't like FB but I can't fault them for this; content filtering is hard and ad-supported services can't afford to spend much per time or money per user. FB's terrible 'censors' are probably a bunch of overworked and underpaid college students, a few of whom might even know where the Vietnam War was fought. Mistakes will be made.
In this case, mistakes were made, the users protested, FB restored the images, the end.

Sorry to reply to myself, but I didn't explain that very well at all.
If you believe it's right because other people (do / do it) too, it's bandwagon.
If you believe it's wrong but justify it because someone else also did wrong, it's two wrongs make a right.
Since the OP isn't arguing what he said is OK ("he's a sexist scumbag") the latter fits better IMO.
I think this is more an example of Two Wrongs Make a Right.
Bandwagon usually refers to a shared belief: fifty million lemmings can't be wrong.

But what about other entertainment? Watching people kill each other is sad too. Go meet someone real and kill them.
Our descendants? We're probably the dinosaurs in this scenario.

So it's okay to give money to a private political organization in order to get favors from the government?
Well, in the sense that it's not illegal, has been going on for 200+ years and the country has survived, it's 'okay'.
If Hillary was really a modern William Tweed there would be a lot more interesting stuff in those email dumps.

No, but they are the arbiter of their own service. (You are not.)
They are also forbidden by law from hosting child pornography.
They're offering customers 100% of their money back, the trouble is getting people to actually return the recalled phones.
I'd love the option to set my various devices' charge/discharge limits to 90% / 10% or 80% / 20%.
Yes, Li-Ion chemistry has improved a lot in the past decade but batteries still degrade faster at 100%.

Now? The right wing have always accused the ACLU of having a liberal bias.
Then again, I'm not sure there is anything they haven't accused of having a liberal bias.
I'm hoping for a fake video of Jony Ive explaining that smartphone battery fires are caused by interference from the 3.5mm jack.
