This is precisely why you must always OWN your DNS and Hosting yourself. Never, EVER let someone else register and host your domain for you. Always DO IT YOURSELF or find yourself in the same boat with Snopes.
Never, EVER co-own a company with your spouse, then get divorced, and your spouse sells his or her share to a company (technically, the company's owners, due to the type of company Bardav is) that you now find yourself in a dispute with.
This has nothing to do with the company managing Snopes, they co-own it. Scroll up a bit, there are links to the actual court documents.
It needs to go to the Supreme Court to delineate how state law can limit asset forfeiture on debts owed to the Federal Government.
Civil asset forfeiture has nothing to do with owing debt. It is charging property with a crime so it can be confiscated: by the way, property does not get a day in court, it just belongs to the police now. In other words, it allows police at any level of government to be highway robbers, quite literally. Pulled over for speeding and your brake light was burned out? I think your car is being used for illegal purposes, so I am entitled to all of the cash in your car, including in your wallet, because that cash is guilty of being involved with a crime and it cannot legally defend itself.
This has everything to do with a gross violation of the fourth amendment and nothing to do with paying debts. The fact that when people fight it in court the police decide to settle rather than go to trial is very telling of the fact that nobody thinks this practice will pass Constitutional muster.
You are ignorant about the main causes of disease in 3rd world countries: poor food, filthy water, filthy living conditions, no sanitation. Vaccines don't help this. The money on vaccines would be better spent giving them clean water.
Clean water and not living in filth are certainly important components of healthy living, but are nowhere near the only components.
Remember the Measles outbreak at Disney Land? That occurred in the United States, which has some of the best sanitation and cleanest water on the planet. It occurred because of anti-vax parents who think that life-saving medication is a bad thing.
Eventually there will be few real programing jobs and a bunch of drop in ide code everywhere and it's not far off at all.
If Salesforce is any indication, the "drag and drop" model of designing a system is nowhere near ready for prime time. Even simple implementations require a real programmer to make them work, despite what they promise.
I had a similar experience with Spectrum. I explained that I was tired of paying so much - and the only reason I need TV anyway is to watch baseball, which Fox Sports regional channels have a monopoly on. Once I told them how much SlingTV costs (implicit threat there) they pulled out a secret package that was a lot cheaper plus free HBO for a year so I can watch Game of Thrones when it is new. My cable bill was around $180, now it is around $120. Still too high, but it is at the point that an internet-only package plus SlingTV would be more expensive.
I just get tired of playing this stupid game with the cable companies every year. Eventually I will stop caring and cut the cord.
On the flip side this makes going after GPL infringement even more difficult. The patent holder (developer) will have to retain lawyers and incurs travel expenses wherever the Infringing corporation is located. Few developers have that kind of time and resources
I thought this decision was about patents, not copyright. Software licenses are built on copyright, not patents.
Way to fuck over the private space industry, California!
The private space industry will not be fucked over. They will leave, and go to places like Texas and Florida who, according to the summary, offer tax incentives to do business there.
The only entities who might be "fucked over" are the California citizens who might otherwise work at these companies. Although, if they are smart, they will move to Texas or Florida too.
F that! I already have a hard enough time holding my phone with a bezel without accidentally touching the edges of the screen. Forget putting adding a protective case to protect your multi-hundred dollar toy as you won't be able to use the edges of the screen.
I traded in my S7 Edge specifically because the curved edges were so damn annoying. I would almost constantly trigger functionality on the edges of the screen, interrupting what I was doing. Adding a case did not help: the pressure the case put on the edges actually made it worse. Touching elsewhere on the phone would distort all the interconnected pieces of the case just enough to trigger a touch in a random place. It was also annoying when playing games where I might need to touch near the edge of the screen: the curvature made it harder to read the screen and touch the edges.
Upgrading to an "old-school" flat-screen phone eliminated all of the annoyances caused by the curved edges. I will never buy another curved-screen phone. Since Samsung is committed balls-deep to technology that actively pisses me off, I doubt I will ever buy another one of their phones.
Another manager threatened to beat an underperforming employee's head in with a baseball bat.
Now, that's what must be a highly motivating work environment:/
One must wonder how their hiring process works, i.e. letting such characters through the gates, since recent reports don't paint a pretty picture.
Negan will hire anyone, but loves to bash in heads with a baseball bat. One could certainly call "perform well so you do not die" to be a highly-motivated work environment.
And then, there's Benghazi. Clear case of treason, and no Democrat is interested.
Clinton clearly dropped the ball with Benghazi. Her negligence had fatal consequences, and her apology did not sound sincere. However, I would not call what she did "treason:"
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
She was negligent and failed either to provide additional support for the consulate or authorize their withdrawal to a safer location. She did not levy war against the United States, nor did she adhere to or provide aid and comfort to an enemy of the United States. She was a spineless coward who clearly did not respect her subordinates or value their lives: but she did not commit the crime of treason. I think in general some people throw that word around a little too loosely without understanding what it means.
Fantasy. DRM and the DMCA make reverse engineering and backup impossible.
OP was talking about analog reels made decades before digital film and the DMCA. Yes, the DMCA effectively castrates fair use and other provisions of copyright law when dealing with digital media that has anti-circumvention mechanisms in place but that has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
The more pressing issue is much of this media is physically controlled by entities that have zero incentive to digitize or distribute it. The relevant laws here would be about trespassing or theft, as one would need to break into a vault and physically steal reels to do anything with the material.
Apple are sitting at either $55.3 billion or $233 billion depending on whether you count long-term securities. They must be doing something right in terms of profit if they can amass that much money.
Five minutes? I worked there for more than five years and I am still amazed at the ineptitude and laziness I encountered there. Some individuals took their jobs seriously, but the whole work environment was all about who's dick you were sucking and trying to be groomed for promotion into a job where you did nothing and got paid a lot.
Oh, we need to do stuff about security like protecting passwords or credit card data? Meh, spend five minutes on it until the next customer complains then move on. If you don't have enough time to fix a problem, we'll just dump it in the customer's lap and tell them to take a hike because we already completed the contract and cashed their check per SOX requirements.
This breach and its ramifications do not surprise me one bit. I would be extremely surprised if this was the first breach, and we just did not know about previous ones. That happens when you fire half of MIS, slash their budget, and burden them with arbitrary, nonsensical constraints that prevent them from doing their jobs.
MakeMKV is free and not time-limited for DVDs, but costs money and has a time-limited demo available for Blu-rays.
MakeMKV contains both freeware and shareware functionality. You may use MakeMKV to convert or stream DVD and AVCHD discs for free, as much as you want. Converting or streaming Blu-ray discs is shareware functionality. You can use shareware functionality for free during 30-days trial period. If you like MakeMKV and you want to use it after your 30-days trial version expires, you need to purchase a registration key.
So if the officer went out without a loaded mag it'd be their fault, but we'll blame the gun manufacturer when the cop fails to charge the fucking battery.
Magazine does not unload by itself, that requires a trigger press or manually removing the cartridges. Unless the LEO is at the firing range or in an active shooting situation that magazine will be loaded today, tomorrow, next year, 50 years from now.
Ever had a phone or other device that could not keep a charge? The battery will discharge on its own over time and statistically, at some point, an LEO somewhere will get shot and the suspect will get away. Then comes the bad press for this unnecessary technology.
True, especially for projects where the maintainers care about style and ensure code in pull requests conforms to project guidelines. Note: this is not about formatting, where to put braces, etc. which is information lost during compilation. I am talking about naming (which may be preserved in debugging symbols), code structures, etc. which may be partially or fully preserved.
I'd be surprised if this works at all, but sure it would sell some product and get a few grants.
Me too. Mostly because compiled code is likely optimized, rearranged, and information is lost during compilation anyway. Five people could write the same block of code slightly differently, and a compiler could compile it to the same machine-/byte-/whatever-code. How do you tell which of the five wrote it? Most likely, you do not.
What? Stealership service departments are terrible. Warranty work only.
I take my car to a dealership for service sometimes and they will do anything I ask them to, from oil change to major repairs. Prices are competitive, too. For something like tires they will not be as competitive as, say, NTB who has a better selection and heavily pushes rebates and sales, but I have had a good experience for a lot of things.
"Computer Science" doesn't use the scientific method, it uses proofs. That makes it a branch of mathematics.
The foundations of Computer Science are in mathematics, but there is a lot of science, too, at the PhD level.
The way that most of us use CS it is a lot more mathematical: writing programs that use math and run on a CPU, a machine that rigidly follows rules.
If you look at the doctoral, theoretical level, the scientific method does come into play a lot. Think about applications such as modeling weather, complex networks, or AI. The idea of "make a hypothesis and test it" is quite prevalent in the research in the ACM journals, for example.
Artificial colors and flavors have little to do with "flavor-ant that has been isolated and extracted (with chemical processes and solvents in most cases) starting with a natural source and the same chemical that has been produced with a chemical process starting with purified raw ingredients". Most are carcinogens or hormonal disruptors.
The dose makes the poison. Water can be toxic if consumed in large quantities. Mercury can be harmless or highly toxic depending on which type of molecule you ingest and in what quantity.
Red #40 is harmless in the quantities used. Hint: that box of Froot Loops has less than a drop in it. But I would not want to drink a pint of the stuff.
I appreciate software is different than engineering, but the collaboration, mentoring, and comorodory of an open office environment really helps build the business for us. While I do have an office
You like the open office environment, although you have your own office... how nice. Open offices are really nice as long as it is someone else dealing with being packed in like cattle.
One of the requirements of PCI compliance with the credit card companies is that you don't use default passwords in any equipment tied to the card transaction.
Which makes this even more interesting. Based on the password and the fact that a paperclip is required I know the specific vendor and equipment to which the article refers, despite the authors going to great lengths to omit that information. The vendor is a big one and their equipment is involved in millions of electronic payments made every day. You could even say they are "the way to pay." In fact, they are involved in PCI certification for most production deployments involving their hardware: most, but not all, because certain deployments using default configurations do not need additional certification, just a quick verification that IP addresses and the like are properly configured.
I understand the need for a default password, but it really should be changed. That being said, the encryption keys are not accessible using that password. They are stored in a hardware module that self-destructs if you tamper with it. They can only be set in one of two secure locations both controlled by the vendor: if you attempt to use any other means to mess with the keys, bye-bye memory card that stores them. This is bad, but not as bad as it sounds at first.
If there's a real incident in progress, this wouldn't work. They'd either not answer, or be compelled by the people with guns to tell the cops that everything is a-okay.
I agree, nobody would answer. From the summary, nobody even has to read the article for this one:
...claimed to be holed up in the town's closed public library with two hostages and a bomb.
I might be missing something, but if you encrypt the plaintext by XOR ing it with itself, wouldn't you get an easily decryptable to letter frequency attack cypertext?
You get a string as long as the plaintext consisting of NUL characters (0x00).
