Yes, but they're prisoners in their own facility. "We will tell LEOs to GTFO!" is fine until you realise that those same LEOs are preventing your shift change, and you forgot to pack 80 extra pairs of skivvies this morning in case you happen to be "on shift" until the bunker doors are unsealed.
The Russian Wikipedia page states it has water and fuel for 10 years. I give them 10 days before cabin fever sets in.
My computer is attached to my TV and does more than just Netflix. Plus, if there is an update to the software platform Netflix uses which breaks your smart TV / games console / Blu-Ray player, do you think they will update it? No, they'll tell you to buy the newest version and throw your old one away.
My 5 year old Samsung 37" has YouTube, NetFlix, Sky Go, iPlayer, etc etc etc ad nauseum because it is a dumb TV.
Your issue is that you'll have to mine bitcoin when it's not economically sound to do so in order to have bitcoin available to trade when they are worth something. Good luck selling that idea to the beancounters.
This is your geeky friend's responsibility. He should tidy up his dangerous stuff when the friend brings his kid over.
Would you blame your geeky friend if your toddler drank a test tube full of crap that the geeky friend had left on a low shelf? Yes, because he should have put that stuff away.
To those who it applies: I bet you put medicines in high cupboards, despite having no kids yourself, right? Hmmm, I wonder why.
In a recent Reddit AMA, flight crew stated similar things. Firstly, if it was a serious situation the passengers wouldn't know about it. The cabin staff don't need a riot while the plane is falling from the sky. Secondly, buckle your seat belts when they say so, stow your gear as they say you should. Turbulence isn't a massive issue until it is, and then it's a massive issue. The plane will drop, you will leave your chair and at best bump your head on the overhead locker and bite your tongue, at worst break your neck. Also, your food will end up all over the people at the back of the plane, as well as your laptop, hand luggage, iPad etc. Those people will wish you'd put your bag containing the hardback 50 Shades trilogy under the seat in front, as you should have.
GoPro deletes negative comments and attacks review sites via malicious abuse of process. GoPro can no longer be seen as impartial or interested in fair representation of the views of customers and reviewers, and are demonstrably interfering with the process. All bets are off; All "reviews" are marketing fluff, all "comments" are shills, all "opinions" are astroturfing. You cannot trust it to be any other way.
It's a shame; I'm going to Australia in the summer and I really wanted a camera capable of recording my experiences there, including scuba, trail biking, maybe some light climbing. I guess I'll have to buy from a competitor. It's one guaranteed lost sale from this saga.
If you believe that women have a right to be in the workplace, then I think you should believe that they have a right to feel as safe and respected as we do
Respected? Are you serious? I'm a liability, a mark in the red! I cost money while offering no measurable benefit! According to management, I do nothing but sit on my PC, play games and surf the web all day. Never mind that there hasn't been a loss of network service in months, with no period longer than 10 minutes since I started 4 years ago, and this is just a small school.
Respected I am not, until something breaks. Then I'm everyone's best friend.
That was always the way. Try accessing BBC iPlayer in the US, or me accessing Amazon Prime's video streaming services from the UK. You can't pay for licensed access to those services; You have to circumvent the system, get yourself a VPN.
For the most part I would use Netflix, Amazon's services, LoveFilm, whatever if they had the content I wanted and it was fairly priced, and offered worldwide at the same time. However, we get US release first and the world waits 6 months. That's not the deal, bub. They don't get my money, and I download it from a torrent. That's how this works. I just wish they'd understand that already.
Its about the middle level IT manager who gets a call from a very annoyed board director who says his password doesn't work and you better reset it now or head will role.
Similar situation in a previous job: I was a tech for a secondary (high) school. The Headteacher (Principal) called while off site and asked for the local admin password for the laptop as he'd forgotten the password he'd set on the user account he was given. I, being an employee, gave it to him and thought nothing of it.
The next day I explain the situation to the network manager and he goes MENTAL at me about data security and all manner of other policies, stating that the local admin password was also used in other places and it was a massive problem to reveal it.
He didn't like me pointing out that password reuse was far worse than allowing local admin access to the machine (it was a loner and would be re-imaged before being sent out again). I was performance managed out of that job.
TL;DR: We could all do with taking our own advice once in a while and ensuring that what we give as instruction passes basic sanity checking for every day use. Otherwise systems will be subverted or compromised just to get the job done.
I've bought a few books from the Kindle store, and stripped the DRM with Calibre. If Amazon every decide that they stop supporting my device, or block my account for whatever whim, or whatever else reason, all of the books are in DRM-free ePub on my computer anyway. I can jailbreak the device easily enough; I'll even gain some functionality. It also means that I'll be totally happy with downloading unlicensed ebooks in the future. If I tried to do it their way and they punished me, then I won't do it their way again.
I don't hate the show. I'm just saying that it's not meant for nerds. It's nice that the references are correct and all, but the only person who isn't made fun of is Penny, and if she is it's by the socially awkward nerd being even more nerdy for the nerds to laugh at.
The IT Crowd is the same. Average Joe sympathises with Jen as Line Manager of a couple of socially awkward nerds. Everyone laughs at the nerds. There's a few humourous t-shirts and Star Trek gags. Yes they're funny, but we're not the audience. We're incidental.
Thats like arguing that your supermarket isnt to blame if they sell horsemeat as steak or something.
Well, sort of. I expect them to do their due diligence. If someone misleads them intentionally, that's a mitigating factor. You blame them, and identify the party at fault, and they remedy the situation. That's how it's supposed to work, anyway.
Yes, absolutely. The end user will get recompense, and internal auditing will identify the weak link and (hopefully) resolve the issue. However, this is totally separate from:
As parent said, blame isnt this binary thing; multiple people can be at fault simultaneously, but as Chrome's vendor, the end user should look to Google for answers-- its not Linus' job to fix Chrome OS, its Google's.
True, but all I'm saying is either the ChromeOS team screwed up something in the kernel, or the kernel was already exploitable. ChromeOS may well have provided a path to execute the exploit, but ultimately the kernel should have given a big fat DENIED message when told to do the naughty.
I can't find any app which taxes my 2 year old Desire HD (Single core 1GHz Scorpion CPU, part of MSM8255 chipset). I think mobile processing has come to the same point as desktop processing; For 99% of the tasks, 2 years ago is more than enough (5 in desktop, really). The "new shiny" is for posers.
I would argue that if the bug is exploitable in non-ChromeOS kernels then Linux is to blame. If the bug was introduced by the ChromeOS implementation, then it's the fault of ChromeOS.
It's such a shame that there is only one desktop / window manager available for X. If only there were some choice in the matter. If only there were many different interfaces which could run atop the generic backend graphics stack. I just wish that they would release different environments which would allow me to choose the look of my UI depending on my preferences. Why hasn't there been any development put into some kind of Lightweight, X11 Desktop Environment? I am so very upset that there is only one desktop environment available for Linux and that I'll have to use it.
As someone else pointed out long ago, The Big Band Theory isn't a show for nerds. It's a show to laugh at nerds. Yes, you get the references and that's nice and all, but that's not the point! You're not supposed to get the references, and you're supposed to sympathise with Penny for not getting them and laugh at the nerds. It's playing up to the stereotype, and for some reason we love it!
He's a figurehead and a spokesperson at big events, but ultimately is only as good as his advisors and staff. He can't be at every interview for coders, or even interviews for the HR people who hire the coders. He has to trust his staff to do their job, and they didn't. I see this as more of a marketing selling an idea up the food chain, and dev trying their best to hold it together while sticking to their ridiculous deadlines.
The next CEO will be in exactly the same position, because everyone else responsible is still in their position of responsibility.

Kickstarter or Indiegogo. Make it so.

Does he have a nylon carpet and a joystick made mostly of metal?
All versions of products from all regions, often stripped of any artificial lock-down, are available on a host of file sharing networks.
Saying that, I'm pretty certain that stating "Buy from the US" can be viewed as a blessing on the Grey Import business. Thanks, Adobe!

If it's in the Daily Mail, it will be discarded out of hand as inflammatory right-wing bullshit.

Your quest doesn't end here. There are sub-genres of grindcore.
No one ever wins. No one finally loses, except the dead. Under the sun, they rot together with absolute biological equality.
