I think the larger point is, the fact that Columbus got it wrong doesn't make the name derogatory, only technically incorrect, just like calling a Nintendo cartridge a "tape".
Definitely. But I'm somewhat offended by this entire pair of continents being named after an Italian cartographer.
every bit as diverse and rich as in Europe, and refer to each by name.
We call the diverse peoples of Europe "Europeans," don't we? It's perfectly fine to have a blanket term of some sort, even if you don't like the current one.
You're not wrong. The other Monster might want to sue for Trademark infringement if Monster starts offering money-making opportunities on the Internet.
CATV - Community Antenna Television. The whole thing was originally created for people where the broadcast reception was poor. But if they're leasing an antenna to each subscriber and not paying licensing fees, they've just recreated Aereo.
Mutually Assured Destruction is still considered to be the first line of defense against Russia and North Korea. Not using them is all we need them for.
there are still movies that you can't turn up enough that dialog can be heard clearly at all points without shaking the walls.
Stop watching Michael Bay movies.
The problem is that most of the dynamic range compression done by TV's is performed dynamically (made more confusing with the double use of the word dynamic). That means that the volume of even the dialogue bounces up and down depending on the volume of everything else (dialog gets quieter during an explosion). The Dolby standard actually encodes normalization data into the soundtrack so that you can do a proper range compression consistently across the entire viewing (dialog is louder relative to the explosion, but consistently). Your receiver probably has a "night" mode that uses this, but honestly receiver makers don't typically state whether certain range compression actually uses DRC metadata.
Citation needed for the claim that security through obscurity works.
No citation needed, just common sense. It works, but only relatively better and not absolutely. If you can literally look at the code and find the bugs, it's easier to find an exploit bugs - without the code, you have to guess and check at where bugs might be.
Everyone's already jumped in, but I'll also add that collecting telemetry data can sometimes slow things down to a crawl. I'm personally more worried about unnecessary use of computing resources than collecting metadata - it directly impacts my bottom line in buying more powerful hardware to compensate.
The valid warrant is not defeated. They can have the encrypted data. If they ask for unencrypted data, they're asking for something that didn't exist at the moment they asked for it.
#1 and #2 are already being treated as contempt of court. And this is worse than being prosecuted, because you aren't even given a sentencing term.
Common sense is not controlling encryption. It's maintaining 5th amendment rights - see the exclusionary rule.
Are you sure you've used it on Windows 10 in the current version? I use the enter key - both the main one and the numpad enter and they both work exactly as they did in the old calc.exe
If any line is going to drop USB-A, it makes sense for the Macbook Air. The USB-A port is really fat for such a small frame and you can deal with the dongle. For the larger machines it makes no sense to drop it.

And consider "People of Earth" which covers an even broader geographic area.
I try to fix typos and get my changes reverted. It's a lost cause already.
But legalize pot in a state like Colorado and then CCs are perfectly fine.
Except that's not even true. Sellers in CO aren't even allowed to have bank accounts.

I'll be waiting to see what becomes of UV content if this becomes a de facto replacement.
A bit like how if you have encrypted email that you can't read, you aren't really in possession of the message the email contains.
Unless a court wants the contents of that email. Then they'll hold you in contempt until you magically remember the key.
Ditto. Did Disney write this press release? The only notable difference between UV and Movies Anywhere is that they didn't have Disney's library.
You're missing the point.

Yeah, let the police redact their own information before looking at it. I'm sure that will go over well.
So just do a Google search for "undeniable video" and there it is?
Except they were saying both sides were bad enough to not fully support either. You kind of missed their conclusion.
If he wasn't having second thoughts, he could have sent it. It's not like his suicide caught him by surprise before he could finish.
At the very least, it would prove that he didn't intend to send the message. Because if he did, he would have done so before ending his life.

Didn't they name the citation that you required? Go read it.

Are you sure you're talking about common sense and not pedantry? The speech is what's illegal if it causes the harm.
