The ONLY thing necessary for a DNR order to be valid is for it to be a true reflection of person's informed wishes. Someone getting it tattooed on themselves and then fucking signing under the tattoo is all the proof anyone with a brain needs.
Mobile phone interference with plane instruments: Myth or reality?
Cool. You've found one stupid link that talks about "galvanometer instruments", and a pop-culture TV show, that can't show that the specific devices they tested interfered with the specific aircraft systems they tested against, and leap to the conclusion that this proves that PED cannot interfere.
The issue is not that EVERY device WILL interfere. Proof that EVERY device does not interfere with EVERY system is irrelevant.
Hey, shitstain. Every consumer device with a radio is already tested and certified by the FCC and is guaranteed not to cause harmful interference and is guaranteed to not block interference the FCC and their goons throw at it.
why would you want to criminalize someone for naming an access point?
Why would you want to criminalize someone for yelling fire in a crowded theater, leading to a stampede that kills people? There are limits to most anything.
I wouldn't. And it's not criminalized. You are absolutely allowed to yell "fire" in a crowded theater. Even in this fucked up version of the U S of A, it's still protected speech. Don't think so? Go look it up.
Meanwhile, my $20,000 non-hybrid, gasoline (not diesel) car gets over 50 MPG on the highway. It's got a small tank, but it still beats the Model 3 on long range.
Because after this song and some violent strikes, we stopped doing that shit. Hell, the United Nations eventually declared such systems to be slavery.

Until Windows 10 in 2018 kills off support for your "old" hardware, or your newer hardware "doesn't support" (i.e., artificially blocks) the older build of Windows 10 you want to use.
8. Remove Arch Linux. 9. Install DOS. 10. Play Duke Nukem, Command & Conquer, Doom, etc. 11. Cry because there's no fucking way you'll get sound out of them on a Realtek chipset and no fucking way a modern Creative card will work.
Use system to download OS installation files and prepare installation disk/drive/whatever.
Make sure to inject drivers for your USB controller, display adapter, and network adapter. Windows 10 will grab drivers for your storage adapter and other shit from Windows Update before installation, but you'll need USB unless you're using PS/2 or an unattended setup file, video, and network all working in the installer. (You'd think this would be pretty standard and foolproof, but with Windows 7, Intel's newer chipsets fuck you over by refusing to let the USB ports operate in anything but xHCI mode. You need to inject the driver before hand.)
THEN you can wipe/install, then get all your other drivers.
custom install ==> drivers only is how you avoid the shitware with hp printers and imaging products.
Wrong!
1: Right click, extract to HPShittyDriver/ (you do have 7-Zip installed, right Hoss?) 2: Dig into HPShittyDriver/ and find the driver inf files and install them (alternatively, let the Windows driver installer noodle around in it for you and pick whatever it thinks is best)
If you can't right click, extract it you can double click to run it, step through the installer just to the point before it does shit, then head on over to the temp files directory in Windows Explorer (use Resource Monitor to track where it dumps them if you can't find it) and find all the extracted files there. Then do step 2 above.
Another alternative is just to use whatever drivers Windows Update throws at you. You may not get the shitty "Send a Fax from your Fridge to your Light Bulbs, with Alexa" feature, unfortunately.
Bitcoin is not designed to "be on par with Visa" for volume or frequency. It's intentionally designed to NOT handle huge numbers of trivial transactions.
The average block generation time is pegged to 10 minutes. If you buy a soda from a vending machine, you'd have to wait 5 minutes, on average, for the next block to be generated. And if people are using Bitcoin globally to buy soda, the odds of your transaction being included in that block are very low.
Bitcoin's 10 minute block generation time was specifically chosen to sidestep a ton of trivial noise that would be a burden to miners and to nodes that have to both hold the blockchain and have to sync it before the next block comes in if they want to transact. It also works well to prevent manipulation. There's no high frequency trading possible on the Bitcoin network.
If you look at Ethereum, which has a much faster block generation time, the standard wallet client has issues because every few seconds you're out of sync with the network and you can't compute the fees/gas properly. If you're not connected to a decent amount of peers, you can run into a denial of service issue where you can't keep in sync quickly enough to transfer Ethereum.
Ethereum wants to make transactions take even less time, and it's a terrible idea. The only way to do it is to have layered networks. Consider Ethereum, Ethereum (US), Ethereum (UK), Ethereum (US-CA), etc. Transactions within a sub network can be very fast because the external networks don't need to know about them. To transact quickly across sub networks you'd need a wallet in the target sub network and you'd need to transfer from one network to the other and wait, then transact from that wallet to another wallet in that sub network. (You could also transfer directly from your wallet in one sub network to the target wallet in another sub network if you know it in advance or you're both willing to wait for the transaction to be confirmed.) It's similar to getting money exchanged to other currencies when traveling. But it means for practical purposes you will typically stick within your own sub network or you will have to maintain wallets in multiple enclaves and juggle Ethereum across them in advance of when you want to use it.
This runs counter to the goal of decentralization in two ways. It makes it harder for people to send money anywhere, and it means there will be issues with each sub network having control over its own blockchain and transactions to other sub networks. Not a good tradeoff for faster speed, in my opinion, especially when you consider the shenanigans Ethereum has done in the past to alter the blockchain after thefts and fuckups.
Instead of doing anything to stop you, we'll just pretend we care and ask you to stop. We don't want established players such as ourselves to have a death grip on the industry. No, not at all. So please, won't you reconsider?
Apple's market share, based on number of active devices / new devices sold, continues to plummet compared to Android. The people who care to jailbreak / root / pirate have mostly left iOS.
Apple continues to rely on high margins and the willingness of their customers to pay for apps. However, they're getting squeezed on both ends. Fewer potential App Store customers due to people leaving for Android, and more people leaving for Android due to lower device prices.
If they lower their prices, they directly hurt their bottom line because they rely so much on those high margins. If they look for a bigger cut of sales in the App Store, developers will raise prices / move to Android, and customers will spend less / move to Android.
The first 2 quarters of sales for the latest iPhones will be critical for Apple.
You're a moron. Nothing is disturbing here. It's an algorithm. If you think the content it worked on is disturbing, go complain about that content. The algorithm seems to be working just fine.
This is where things really start to get interesting. Having abandoned the tick-tock release cadence that guided Intel for such a long time and adopted a process-architecture-optimization scheme, it is a bit more difficult to predict what the company has in store. Looking at AIDA64's release notes, we see the following 9th Generation Core processors listed:
Considering that Intel is a little further off from mass producing its 10-nanometer Cannon Lake processors for the consumer sector, our best guess is that these will be a refresh of its Coffee Lake architecture. That leaves the field wide open in terms of cores, threads, clockspeeds, L3 cache, and TDPs, with no way to fill in the blanks unless taking some wild guesses. About the only thing we know for sure is the Core i5-9500K part will have an unlocked multiplier, as designated by the "K" in the model name.

Stop. Go directly to jail. Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200.
Teleportation violates causality. Stop using that fucking word for things that are absolutely not teleportation.

So do you have evidence of a US President accepting money from a foreign government?
