    I was actually referring to MacOS "High Sierra", but true.

  3. Nostalgia? on APFS Is Not Optional (apple.com) · · Score: 1

    High Sierra Format (HSF) is the early logical file system used for CD-ROMs in 1985 and 1986. The later ECMA-119 and ISO 9660 standards are based on revised HSF. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  5. Nice try? Did you check the dictionary? I did.
    Merriam-Webster: a (1) : to belong as a part, member, accessory, or product (2) : to belong as an attribute, feature, or function * the destruction pertaining to war (3) : to belong as a duty or right * rights that pertain to fatherhood b : to be appropriate to something which rule pertains?
    So, the "the photo-derived biometric data" (your phrase) is an attribute or function of the image and therefore "data pertaining to the images" (your cite FTA) to be "deleted within 14 days." (It might be arguable that the raw image scan data is the image and therefore not data pertaining to the image. I do not believe that this is correct, but ...)
    Also, your comment about fingerprint databases is irrelevant because nobody said that anything was deleted from those databases.

    Time to feed the troll?
    Both the summary and the article clearly state that "The service also saw a bump in sign ups after the election of Donald Trump as US president ..."
    So, AC learn to read and come back later.

    It seems to be voluntary. Do you use a separate client for each and every video streaming service?
    When I'm using my phone for streaming, it is usually in browser.

    1. DNS will resolve locally first unless admin overrides. No problem. ["split horizon DNS"]
    2. ".test" is already the designated solution. See RFC 2606 and RFC 6761. It may not be pretty but it is RESERVED for this case.
    So, either DNS works for myname.com LOCALLY (no problem) or use myname.com.test (no problem).

    "Power Pro - tell me you know what that is and you'll be the first, I've used it since Win95"
    Windows PowerPro gives you the power to control your system and how you access programs because it allows you to choose the combination of how to activate and what to activate.

  13. We call BS! on For Jane's, Gustav Weißkopf's 1901 Liftoff Displaces Wright Bros. · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I don't know if the Wright brothers were first or not. But, I do know that this "re-creation" is BS. I read TFA and carefully viewed the images. There is nothing that actually shows the darn thing flying and there are many clear photographs of it on the ground. Someone mentioned evidence in court. Well, I am an attorney and this case is a laugher!

  15. Re:Problem with .here on Vint Cerf Answers Your Questions About IPv6 and More · · Score: 0

    Admittedly ".test" is not pretty, but it is already a Reserved Top Level DNS Name per RFC 2606.
    I also read Yeoh's draft. It really has no restrictions and as such the idea of bookmarking a name that has no guarantee of working anywhere else is self-defeating. For example, "https://airconditioner.here/settemp?celsius=25" is probably not very useful in a large room with multiple A/C units. Should that local DNS have every alias/synonym for airconditioner? His idea of "all.here" etc. giving "a list of registered devices" has some merit. But, how about "all.test" or "devices.test" or even "nodes.test"?
