It seems to me the first responsibility is to inform each vendor who has a vulnerability that is exploited so the stolen cache of cyberweapons becomes useless.
As it turns out, smartphones, but if an old phone, they could just send a blank text (an exclamation point if it's urgent) or just know that I will get a missed call notice.
Either way, it probably beats a voice message that I might (or might not) hear a day or three later.
It might brighten the work day if you get a message from the PHB: "Johnson! Get me a neer, my feet boils smell. I'm fucking a cow, can't you hear me farting?"
Agreed wholeheartedly. I do not want to go through spam at a rate of 30 seconds each listening to (no doubt) bad voice synthesizers telling me about woodworking plans, free vacations, desperate Russian girls, etc, etc. Nor do I want to listen to even legitimate messages where someone stammers for 5 minutes to convey 3 lines of text worth of information.
I deliberately never configured the voicemail on my cell. Most people who call when I'm not there to answer are on a cell themselves, they can text or email and I'll call back.
If voice is really that important to convey something, record it and attach it to (wait for it!) an email!
Market space would be relevant to trademarks, but not to a fair use of an API. Since it was legal to re-implement the API, it is legal wherever that re-implementation might be used.
There is a check for Intel CPU. Since AMD is !Intel, it gets the crappiest possible code path. Override the detection with a preload and suddenly performance improves many-fold.
The Intel code path then follows the relevant standard of choosing code path based on feature flags.
No. ICC certainly did look at feature flags and use them to the utmost UNLESS the cpu was AMD, then it used the worst performing code paths available. The telling part is that you could preload a library that replaced the IsThisIntel function (not the actual symbol) with a function that always returns true and greatly improve performance on an AMD processor (sometimes beating the performance on an Intel processor). The existence of that function is very much Intel going out of it's way to de-optimize AMD performance. By any reasonable measure, ICC would have been a superior product had they not expended effort to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in support of another department.
The NSA struck the colors years ago. They ARE the powerful and sophisticated adversary that has been attacking the United States. And they've been making us pay for it.
And yet actual research seems to suggest it works to at least a degree. Of course, the leap from rat to human is HUGE. We have no idea of the quality of the memory since we can't really ask the rats.
I know how reloading works. I also know that many legal semi-auto weapons can be converted to full auto, some with trivial modifications. Further, I know some do those conversions "off the books" and others intend to as soon as civilization goes to hell. Perhaps you didn't know that.
Further, I know that reloading enough rounds to support an automatic weapon will be quite time consuming.
I'm not saying a firearm isn't useful. For example a hunting rifle is quite useful. And since a bolt action is simple and fairly foolproof it will serve better in that situation.
I am saying that if you're in a situation where you may have to fabricate your own parts from only what you can find, a bow is more likely to help you and it is less likely to draw unwanted attention to you.
You are arguing from fallacy. Adolph Hitler liked dogs. You like dogs. Dogs touch on Hitler, therefore you are a Nazi. QED!
I don't remember anything about Woodrow Wilson wanting to know people's shoe size, their hobbies, or what brand of underwear they preferred. I'm pretty sure the church didn't send out clerics with guns to enforce that encyclical. The encyclical itself proposed a hands off approach to labor unions (not terribly authoritarian). Since then it has been the conservatives working to bust unions (that is, break the people's voluntary associations and return the power to management and government).
And now the namecalling begins. I'll just skip that part if you don't mind (or if you do).
You are so deeply buried in your own opinion you can't even imagine what things look like from the outside. For that reason, you have no chance to ever convince anyone from outside the echo chamber of your beliefs. That can only be to your own detriment.
Effectively, you have newspeak-ed yourself and don't understand why nobody speaking the old modern English seems to not understand you.
The irony of that is far from lost on me. Do you see it?

It is interesting that I got marked troll over an easily verified statement of fact. I sometimes wonder is it's just extreme fanbois or paid shills.

No, not that. Have you seen what happens when the speaker has an accent?

It's funny how fast this can become this.

Sure, but since the court ruled that Android isn't infringing, what does the potential profit have to do with it?
If you have some actual reason to believe that, please share so others can make a good decision. If not, why chaff the discussion?

It also demonstrates once and for all that creating a gold key to all the things and trusting a government agency to never leak it is folly.
The NSA struck the colors years ago. They ARE the powerful and sophisticated adversary that has been attacking the United States. And they've been making us pay for it.
Evidence suggests they haven't been MY intelligence agency for a long time. They struck the colors several years ago.
Someone didn't read the links.

People living there who haven't done anything to be caught for are a bit tired of being go-to suspects as well.
No, but police can deploy it where it will mostly interfere with minorities.
Unless you use it primarily in minority neighborhoods.
That's exactly why I have to wonder.

I am absolutely certain that dark matter is not made of boiled peanuts or teeny tiny dancing bobcats.
Am I a member of the secular left yet? Do I get a card? Is there an oath or something?
