Even better, this could lead to wallpaper actually stuck onto a wall. Except more useful as the number of pixels would finally be sufficient for most purposes.
Indeed. Same behavior as any of several other smartphone browsers, and with no MITM attack over https.
But we're left wondering what sort of "security professional" this Gaurang Pandya might be.
Gradually it changed to mean "an idiot from back east who has no clue", and then to "those city slickers who are paying us to to let them play cowboy".
Or to those losers who pay for a reverse cowgirl at a "ranch" in Nevada.
The ethical hacker further has to agree that vulnerabilities will only be disclosed after they are fixed and only with consent of the involved organization.
This sounds like NEVER for the disclosure date, because either (i) the vulnerability won't get fixed if it's not known to the public, and (ii) even if it does get fixed, why should a company agree to expose the fact it screwed up?
I don't think that the odds are in favour of a Tizen device, especially if it is a carrier exclusive.
But it might work in the rest of the world, where carrier-exclusive handsets are uncommon. Such tying of handsets to carriers is sometimes frowned upon legally, but more often rejected by the customers who recognize its inherent disadvantages for them. Actually, many of us can't fathom the carrier-exclusivity and "subsidies" which are widespread in the US market.
I've met dozens of geek parents. Not one of them had children that enjoyed or preferred linux. If your children exist, they're so far outside the envelope of normal everyday experience as to be a statistical fluke.
Our eldest attends a math-stream boarding school. All the kids there are somewhat geeky, and she's not the only one with a linux-based laptop. This may constitute a statistical fluke in your experience, but not in mine. Perhaps you'll also encounter a few laptops without Windows or OSX in the near future.
Whining and unlistening disaster-prone kids such as those you describe are the statistical fluke, based on the class-mates of my kids (including the youngsters). None of them are remotely like those you charactured, in my experience or in the descriptions of their parents.
You will learn what a Bieber is, and why iTunes gift cards and not the President, is the current incarnation of the anti-christ. You will discover the joys of cleaning out a malware infested computer in your teenager's bedroom on a biweekly basis, to the point that you, in a fit of anger, spend a weekend building a vm image with a pxe server and restoration image so your solution to their pepetual inability to listen to you and then try to actively override any security features designed to keep them from screwing it up is "press f12 and wait an hour, and no bitching about your 'lost music', dumbass." And you will also learn why a random sampling of teenager's glowy rectangles show that Facebook is almost always on it... and thus, Zynga is as well.
Wow, I'm glad I don't have the kids you're thinking of. Mine are pre-teen to teenage, and all use Linux on their laptops, and never need them cleaned of viruses or other malware. They also have little or no use for Facebook or Bieber or iTunes; even the teenage girl prefers real relationships and does not partake in fake online ones. I mostly like their music (Apulanta, D.A.D., Green Day, Nightwish, Rammstein, Royal Republic, Sturm und Drang, Within Temptation, and so forth), which is on their phones as well as their laptops, and has been ripped onto our server at home also. In fact, we all get on fairly well together without major hangups.
Your parenting skills would appear to be dreadful. Have you considered seeking help?
How many other churches have, in the modern era, tried to infiltrate the government and destroy evidence against them (Operation Snow White)?
The Scientologists are bumbling amateurs in this area. The serious religions effectively take over the state. In some cases, the takeover of state by religion was accomplished so long ago that the religion is even considered a state itself. Once a state is under the control of a monomaniacal cult, all shenanigans committed therein simply don't exist.
Two 1.5TB Seagates failed here, one died completely just after its 90 day warranty expired, the other lasted almost 6 months before its SMART error rate abruptly became huge (with a lurid warning that the drive is about to fail). They were the first Seagates I've had in years, and they'll be the last allowed in this house for several more years. My previous experiences with Seagate had been good, but that was back in the sub-GB days (and sub-GB is not a typo) before Seagate quality became a crap-shoot. The failed 1.5TB Seagates were replaced with 2TB WD drives, which have been humming along without SMART errors for almost two years.
Actually, I think he's right on the relative pricing. A diskless Buffalo Linkstation Duo is about $130 while a diskless Synology DS-213j is about $210. However, that's comparing apples and pomegranates, as the Synology has a much better reputation and more features than the Buffalo (which has inflexible options for power management, and does not even support UPS input).
TFS has a headline which says "FSF Does Want Secure Boot". It would appear that this is not the case. The FSF would apparently prefer if secure boot were not implemented at all, but if it must be there, they ask that it be done in a way which allows straightforward user installation of a non-DRM OS.
Get a Synology box like the DS-113 or DS-213 or some similar home NAS. It will do automated backups (to web storage or other NAS or external USB drives), and supports RAID if you get a multi-disk version. They also will provide your own "private cloud" services as well as web server, media server, and various other features which you may or may not find useful.
Um, Apple Maps fiasco wasn't about the software. The software works fine; the data behind the software is the problem.
So you agree with GP even as you try to contradict him/her. The software was the problem. Hint: software is more than just an algorithm expressed in a program; it's the data that the algorithm/program accesses, too.
Basement-dwelling nerds would obviously have preferred homeless women (preferably nubile/cute) as wifi hotspots. But the reality of homeless persons in the US, whether male or female, is not attractive and is no joke...
TFA implies that IE9 and IE 10 users are not vulnerable to this attack. Well, neither are Firefox users, nor Opera users, nor Chromium users, nor Safari users, nor... and the list goes on and on. Oh and obviously people using BSD or Linux or Mac are not vulnerable either.
Why post anonymously? This is a known fact in the 5% of the (non-corrupt) employers.

The anonymous poster said "Obviously excluding the scam 'colleges' such as Univ. of Phoenix and DeVry." Those prospering scammers have, no doubt, raised their harbingers of evil from the undead, to seek out, legally persecute, and ultimately silence the truthsayer.
According to Phoronix, the Intel DZ77GA-70K and the ECS Golden Board Z77H2-A2X are fine for Linux. It is implied that almost any motherboard with the Intel Z77 chip set should be OK for linux. They did a longer follow-up review on the ECS Z77H2-A2X Ultimate Golden Edition Extreme with linux.

Fuck, it's a miracle anybody managed to find their dick to take a piss prior to having a phone the way you idiots talk.
About half of humanity can't find their dick.
And providing a phone is unlikely to change that.
This guy keeps track of where he flies,
A terrorist, perhaps.
and knows how to use R.
Ah, a pinko commie terrorist...

You clearly don't have children.

Exactly. The value lost to geeks is zero, zip, nada, zilch, etc.

minority report is $1.99 on the kindle
And if it were in the Public Domain, it would be available for $1.99 less than that - both free and libre.
The central station in Stockholm is probably the largest railway hub in Scandinavia. It will have plenty of foreign visitors providing heat.
Foreigners? In winter?
In summer the place is indeed replete with them, but they all go south with the brass monkeys before real winter hits...

As the song goes, you ain't seen nothin' yet. Welcome to the oppression of legitimate protest and criticism.

Why not switching to celcius? Except for the US and Jamaica, the whole world has... http://i.imgur.com/ucOQh.jpg
Liberia, Myanmar, and the U.S. actually. Jamaica uses Celcius for temperature (definitely when I was there in the 1980s and 1990s).

Some of you 5 digit newbs are OK, but it's really better to be in the low 4s.
Hah! Some of us greybeards just stick a couple of short UIDs together. Mine is a 3-digit UID appended to a 4-digit UID, for the maximum of cachet...
