While we computer geeks might not put loads of care into the looks of most of our hardware, the visual design of all other routers is just astonishingly atrocious. Just really bad copies of Apple. Shiny, single colours, and all curves. Meanwhile the WRT looks amazing. Add to that, that is is the only famous router that exists, and it is sort of the default for the fantastic open source firmware projects. Sure, I would love N, but I will wait until the WRT gets a worthy successor.
So really this is not about certain speech, this is about the international companies Google and Facebook picking sides in some sort of cold war that is apparently starting up right this minute between the West and presumably the Asian, Slavic, and Middle Eastern governments.
If an international company is going to pick a side and fire the opening salvo, it really should be under governmental and democratic oversight. We, the people of the US and Europe should have a say in who our enemies are and when, if, and how we start going after them.
"suffer from a dearth of qualified personnel to operate them"
I guarantee you that the bigger ships require the same sort of people as the smaller ships, just far far less of them relative to how much cargo is carried.
Sort of a ridiculous stance to take. AMD does pretty well for itself. The choice in Processor of graphics card is well understood to be so close that the deciding factor is how you plan on using the PC. At the end of the day, even without the marketing and monopolistic clout that Intel has AMD has managed to stay competitive enough to survive.
"developers of Kodi do not encourage piracy" I had to chuckle when I read that statement on one of their main pages. Sure, Kodi does not officially encourage piracy, but their library scrapper is designed primarily to recognise scene releases, and not much else, and is setup to work best when pointed at a torrent directories.
Well in the end it does not really matter. The number of people who drop out, must drop out. It is not like these universities are running at 50% capacity. Sure, there are ways to improve your chances individually, but if that method ever kicked off and was used by everyone, the same number of people would still need to be kicked out or drop out. Academia worked off of bell curves, and requires the bottom x% of the current stock to be culled ever semester.
It's not news. It is either a crime that deserves to be reported to the police, who can privately investigate it, or it is made up gossip. There is literally no reason to ever publicly say things like this or to report on it.
Pretty much any password you use can be cracked with bruteforce. What does it matter if it takes 2 minutes longer or not? What matters is proper interface security. If you allow passwords to be checked at the speed of your processor, no one is secure. But you restrict Ip addresses and users from checking unlimited passwords then practically any password is secure. All reasonable sites lock accounts at around 5-8 wrong guesses, and often start captas at the first wrong guess. With this the password "G" is more than secure enough of a password.
A decent quality book will not wear out too much on its own over 50 years stored in a cool semi dry local. But the glue in many low quality paperbacks would probably complete deteriorate in far less than 50 years. But more to the point, books simply cannot deal with being read over and over again. Really, in my opinion, after the first owner and resale, the state of the book would probably make any further resale simply not worth it.
Have to agree with this. I doubt that their is a person in the entire world, who has used the internet for any length of time and not been inconvenienced by this default browser behaviour. Also, no one in their right mind would use this feature anyways, as it does not work when focused in on any editable text box including the URL bar. It is just the most ridiculous design you could think of.
Possibly a better analogy, is swimming pools. It is a thousand times more dangerous to own a swimming pool, while having children, than to not vaccinate them.
You are allowed to create any sort of content/news you like, and it can lean in any direction you prefer. It is when you start censoring other's content to fit your narrative, while trying to project an aura of an unbiased unfiltered forum, that people and society have a problem with it.
Because news stations are content creators, they are supposed to be biased. While FB is a modern day phone or mail system.
Their is a difference between a show designed to put forward a certain philosophy, and a phone system or mail system that eliminates certain viewpoints.
We are not supposed to use electric heating because it is inefficient, how are cars supposed to be any different? What does it matter if the fuel is burned in a car or a power plant. If it reduces the weight of the car, how it is not more efficient to burn it on site?
Don't drag anti-vaxxers down to this level. Anti-vaxxers do not believe the current consensus for one medical issue, that the medical establishment is doing a good job making and using vaxxines. Which is not completely impossible because people makes mistakes and vaxxines are not magically infallible. the medical establishment has be horrendously wrong before, it's not particularly great are science, and it is really good at being greedy and caring about money more the patient health.
What Fat-Acceptance morons believe is that the theory of Conservation of Energy is not only false, but that are thousands and thousands of people in the word right now that are not only perpetual motions machines, but actually produce a net positive amount of energy/matter.
You should not go to work, you should retire. If what you say is true, you can easily claim the million dollar price for proving paranormal existence, as well the noble price in physics for disproving the pillar of scientific understanding that is the theory of the Conservation of Energy.
Hell, even that is thinking to low. You just solved word hunger and the energy crisis. Your friend should not be sad or suicidal, her genes can be used to make cows that produce more food calories then they consume and horses that generate power on treadmills. Your friend just prevented the heat death of the universe and the eventual extinction of all life.
She owes it to the world to come forward and share this miraculous discovery.

You can be sure that when they invent the scanner that can read your memories/thoughts, it will be legal to use.
The original commentary on the picture I read about claimed that there was tape over the mic as well.

"maintain staff to maintain a piece of software"
Ya, I am sure this 30 year old piece of software, that runs on MS-DOS, gets loads of updates.

Most to the point, the built in options are flaky crap, complicated to set up and use.
Tumblr is pro-shoplifting. So I guess they they should be fine with having their stuff stolen as well.

Because that is how every government in the world does taxes?

Umm,Yes? Far more American children are killed by their neighbours pool than are killed by their neighbour not being vaccinated.
And with those laws, we still see hundreds of deaths per year do to pool ownership.
Possibly a better analogy, is swimming pools. It is a thousand times more dangerous to own a swimming pool, while having children, than to not vaccinate them.
Which is the entire point.
