You don't have to be 'on the radar' anymore. The NSA has gone full on STASI lately. They're intercepting every single thing they can and keeping it indefinitely.
All it takes to be on the radar is to (knowingly or not) communicate with someone who (also knowingly or not) communicated with someone who is either of interest or who has been confused with someone who is of interest. And of interest need not be limited to foreign nationals working with terrorists. We know they give tips to the DEA and FBI as well. Are you sure you have never talked to anyone who talked to someone who knows a drug dealer?
Even if that doesn't happen, there are documented cases of employees abusing that database for personal reasons.
You have to be old enough to be trusted with a soldering iron. Next up, we live in exactly the sort of sue crazy society that would turn a small solder burn into a grave injury (for legal purposes).
Even adult makers often breadboard before they solder.
Point one can be addressed in negotiations. I'll bet a pay bump on days where a reconfiguration is required would get the job done. As for point 2, if there were jobs here calling for the skill, we would soon have workers with that skill available.
It's better than the FBI's approach of claiming every little thing makse a communication completely novel and so unprotected. There is at least an effort to follow the spirit of the laws.
I have every expectation that nobody around me will overhear the other side of the conversation. I have every reasonable expectation that if I duck into a quiet space and speak quietly that nobody will overhear me. Certainly, if I go into a public restroom stall I have an expectation of privacy if I send a text holding my phone in my lap.
I'm betting the stingray set up in a park won't have a mechanism to exclude the provided public restroom from it's range.
For the vast majority of cases, leap seconds shouldn't be a problem (or even important). Just note that the clock is wrong and use the built in OS functionality to adjust the clock. (in other words, on a well maintained server, do nothing special)
For things that need a constant time base but not a persistent one, just count the ticks and call it good.
For the really hard cases, we probably need a time base that is simply the number of seconds from a defined base. Then maintain a simple table in the public domain containing the correction to the other time bases. Just select the greatest entry that is <= the current time and apply the correction to derive the adjustable time value.
I'm familiar with survivor bias. I also know heavy construction that won't wear out when I see it. I can see the heavy motor windings that don't heat up much when it runs. I can see that the various rods and bearings show no signs of wear.
I imagine many are long gone simply because it has no bells and whistles that were invented later. It can be a bit of a challenge to set up since you have to route the thread correctly.
That's the thing, that $400 DVD player wasn't quality, it was just overpriced.
That's part of the problem. Price and brand have little to do with quality anymore. You have to buy the cheapest because there's little to no assurance that the one costing 2 to 10 times as much isn't the same crappy product in a more expensive looking housing.
Absolutely incorrect. I have an old sewing machine that was my great grandmother's. It still works perfectly. It is old enough that the sticker inside gives a 5 digit phone number for the service center.
It's construction is heavy to say the least. 'value engineering' (read planned obsolescence) hadn't been invented yet. For quite a while after it was invented it was considered a sign of a shoddy company that is not to be trusted. But the frog in much closer to boiling now.
Part of the problem is parts availability. I recently replaced a dishwasher due to lack of parts. By the time I add in that I had to pull the old one, install the new one, time spent going to pick out a new one, time waiting for it to be delivered, etc, I would have come out well ahead if I could have just picked the part out in an exploded diagram and had it shipped.
Actually, many people get infections while in the hospital due to poor cleanliness and they are charged the full rate for treatment. Should they die of it, it is called a 'complication'.
As best as I can piece together from the excerpts from the ruling, he knew there was a John Doe suit before the drive was destroyed but he wasn't notified that he had actually been named in the amended suit until a month after.
The judge found that his actions were consistent with someone who had no reason to expect to be named and so required to preserve evidence.
The court has no obligation to prove anything at all. Even though the bar is set much lower in a lawsuit than in a criminal trial, the burden of proof still lies with the plaintiff. They presented no evidence whatsoever to show that the destroyed drive contained any data at all, much less data damaging to the defendant.
The plaintiff tried to convince the court of the defendant's wrongdoing through circumstance. However, the defendant provided reasonable enough explanations for his actions so the court really had no basis to grant the plaintiff's motion.
There is no conservation of spacetime, so no violation of anything.
The space within a galaxy expands as well, but it doesn't amount to much Compared to intergalactic space, there's not much space in a galaxy. The expansion is counterbalanced by gravity.
A manager that CAN'T look at those things in a telework setting isn't looking at those things locally either. All he does is look at whose butt is in the chair and whose isn't. In other words, telework presents a problem for a manager that doesn't know how to do his job in the first place.
Consider, two guys sitting at their respective desks. Both in the same posture, both have their fingers flying across the keyboard. Both participate equally in the weekly post-pre-meeting meeting. One of them asked dumb questions and totally screwed up 3 important modules badly enough that they had to back his week's work out. The other got module x back on schedule. However, a third employee sipped coffee in the break room all week, then spent 5 minutes on Friday afternoon committing the fix for that bug that cost a million in sales last year and was on track to cost 2 million this year.
Guess who the poor manager who can't evaluate the quality of a commit gives the old heave ho to? Guess which two get the full 3% annual pay raise?
On the other hand, if you want him to work on the AI for the next version of Grand Theft Auto, why do you care what his credit score is?
Are you sure that 20 year old conviction for grand theft auto isn't in the plus column?
Why insist on a 20-something for that SCADA system? He'll have job hopped to the competition long before that 50 year old candidate is ready to retire.
And the guy who wrote the code for a CT machine? Do you really think his lack of 5+ years experience with (obscure java library) means he can't write safe database code?
At one time it was absolutely true. Nothing could beat hand assembly. These days, the compiler can do a better job MOST of the time and asm is only used for specialized implementation of low level functions like locking that C wasn't designed to handle.
It's way too common to see either the OEM or the carrier pre-install apps that can't be deleted or moved. I presume they get paid for that. The onlu solution to that that I know of is to root the phone.

It means he couldn't have reasonably thought it was free to distribute. So no excuses.

Point 1 is true but it happened a month after the drive was destroyed according to TFA.
The court has no obligation to prove anything at all. Even though the bar is set much lower in a lawsuit than in a criminal trial, the burden of proof still lies with the plaintiff. They presented no evidence whatsoever to show that the destroyed drive contained any data at all, much less data damaging to the defendant.

It seems that's what employees are expected to do these days.

6 works for me. Most of my friends feel about the same about movies so there's no spoilers in casual conversation.

And that is the real crux of the matter. It is rather surprising that iOS 8 comes with so much more pork than iOS 7. They probably should warn people.
Since forever, Debian apt has explicitly told you how much more (or less) storage will be taken when you upgrade and gives you a chance to cancel.
