Because the DoJ isnt actually closing bank accounts?
If you had read the article you would see that it is speculating that a handful of porn star's bank account closures are maybe due to DoJ pressure. Theyre making this leap because of a vice.com article which speculates that the closures are because they are porn stars. Vice makes this gigantic leap because of a WSJ article (conveniently paywalled) which speculates that Operation Chokepoint is targetting porn.
Thats a whole bunch of speculation on a ridiculous assertion. A liberal administration isnt going to crack down on porn; it would alienate huge parts of their base. The idea is stupid, the speculation is stupid, and Reason/Vice are remarkably stupid websites. Slashdot is even worse for being dumb enough to link to the flamebait.
Google doesnt force carriers to use Google search. Heck, there are a number of android phones out there that come with Cyanogen / ColorOS. Google does nothing to prevent this AFAIK.
Its not being honored because some geniuses decided that it would be a great idea to make DNT a default setting-- which made it UTTERLY PREDICTABLE that websites would eventually stop honoring it.
Good call, though guys. We won the ideological fight by making it the default, even if practically speaking we shot ourselves in the foot. Now we can continue to criticize Firefox and Chrome for defaulting DNT off, and praise IE for singlehandedly tanking the idea!
Maybe we should have looked taking an actual hard line and cancelled Putin's NetFlix and Amazon Prime subscriptions, or something-- you know, show we really mean it.
How about working with NATO to set up trade sanctions? How about ANYTHING more than weak sanctions against a handful of people who truly dont care?
The justification is "we warned them not to". As soon as it became our position that "we oppose a Russian invasion of Crimea", Obama had an obligation to back his words up.
The sanctions offered did nothing but weaken our credibility and our position. We would have done better to not get involved to begin with, rather than to offer lame, half-hearted, impotent opposition.
Thats not correct. If you rip out the iexplore internals using a tool like nLite, a whole bunch of things break-- but the GUI isnt one of them, nor is the shell.
Your post is a mix of insight and shortsightedness. Yes, undefined FUD is not helpful, but neither is dismissing possible unintended consequences. What happens when it turns out that the Asiatic Tiger mosquito is a more successful vector of dengue, but was kept in check by the Aedes aegypti?
FUD should not be vague, but neither should the contingency planning / risk analysis. "Who cares about the consequences, kids are dying" is not a valid plan of action/
Ultra-ever dry wears out eventually anyways. The guys at Arstechnica tested it, and it apparently lasted about a week before fading. But on the plus side your car will look REALLY new for that first week!
IE8 is supported still: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I... You can also check the lifecycle on MS's website, which seems to indicate 10 years (5 standard, 5 extended) support for IE. That jives with what Wikipedia is saying, particularly with IE7 (2006) being in extended support.
Not sure why this is "interesting": why no comments on CVE-2013-2094 (Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability) which affects the most recent release of the Linux 2.4.37 kernel, and hasnt been patched for users on that kernel for a year now?
I mean after all, both XP and Linux 2.4 are about 12 years old.
The reviews Ive seen say it DOESNT smell like it at all, and tastes "close, but odd".
Which, given the founder's view that meat is "just an assembly of amino acids, fats and water", is not surprising. Guess what, a fine croissant is just wheat, butter, water, and eggs. Surely that shouldnt be hard to repeat in a lab!
Can you give a clarification on any what level of expertise you are claiming in this field? I searched both on google and your blog, but found nothing. Its fine to make a statement of fact backed by numbers, but a number of things on your "Maurys Equation" article were really suspect, including a number of errors.
None of it changes the generally fine-sounding conclusion that solar in space is going to have really limited applications, and probably isnt suitable for mass market energy generation. But youre making a lot of points that border on "original research" (for instance, the wireless transmission paper that you linked to was showing ~80+% efficiencies as far as I could tell, and I could find nowhere in there that indicated the 50% efficiency you ended up with). It also makes me uneasy when someone with no apparent credentials claims to have an easy answer for why a group of industry professionals dont know what theyre doing.
Its NOT explained above. Regardless of what portion of the spectrum PV cells are best at, the atmosphere filters out pieces of that spectrum. Ive seen no explanation for how the presence of 60+ miles of gases between space and the PV cell would enhance the quality of spectrum received by that PV cell-- other than that it would filter out really harmful solar events.
But in a yet-further plot twist, both gravity AND pressure causes siphons to work. Siphons do not work until an initial vacuum is created in the siphon, after which the flow is self-sustaining.

The idea that a liberal administration would be for shutting down porn sites when not even conservative ones go there is absurd.
This is the stupidest article ever; dont even need to read it to know why its stupid, inflamatory, and wrong.

Not seeing the monopolistic behavior, sorry.
Chrome can be deployed with extensions via GPO-- like IETab. IETab could be preconfigured to load those specific sites.
Presumably the few sites you would be using IETab for would either be internal, or restricted access, and so unlikely to have the exploit code.

Well they're clearly a bunch of moron rednecks
Gotta love what passes for "insightful" and "rational" on slashdot.

Must not be hitting the "Reset" button hard enough.
You do realize that the US is not the only country in the world with nuclear labs, right?

Internet explorer is considered a separate product. Its not "the GUI".

I dont think its that big a deal: how many viruses are targetting itanium?
You can always use FTP, though its pretty miserable.

Dont kid yourself: You arent "forced" to pirate it, you choose to because you want the content they produced but dont want to play by their terms.
Maybe that doesnt bug you, but at least be honest about it.
