Yeah but now they don't need to bug your house, since everyone even pays for the bugs.
Yes, they do. This hack requires physical access to the device. It's essentially the same. Now if they could perform the hack remotely....then it's different.
But, but, but..(with tears in eyes)...nobody should be that rich....Wahh.....
It's like all of the teachers in my town who complain that the area superintendent makes too much money. They should reduce his salary and split it among the teachers. I pointed out that if that actually happened they would only make an additional $75/year or less depending on their tax situation. Then I pointed out that as teachers they should have been able to do the simple math before opening their mouths.
How many of these "cracked" phones used fingerprint or facial recognition locks? These authentication types don't need to be cracked. The device owners can be compelled to unlock without cracking the device.
Ha! I worked for a school district temporarily and I recall having numerous conversations with a group setting up a new school about how they can't use macs for everything because half of our software doesn't run on MacOS. However, since they were the ones making the purchase decision, guess what happened?
then, surprise surprise! They're calling us wondering why the testing software doesn't work on their shiny new MacOS machines, and what are we going to do about it?
I had a similar experience. My VP of Safety/HR also signed a contract purchasing MacOS computers for employee training.
HR: We have X number of computers coming next week at all our terminals for employee training. Me: Ok. I should have been consulted about this, but we'll try to make it work. What kind of computers? HR: iMacs. I think the blue models. Me: You're kidding, right? HR: No. We're told they're very user friendly. Me: That might be true, however our enterprise software won't run on iMacs, or any computer with MacOS. HR: What? Why not? Me: Well, that's a question you'll have to direct to our software vendor. But that this time they only support running their software on Windows XP/Vista/7. It will not run on any other operating system at this time. HR: Well what are we going to do? Me: I don't know, but we wouldn't be in this mess if I was consulted at the beginning of the process.
Desperately waiting for an update to this fix. Users aren't able to send/receive certain attachments without it. I have the last patch (that MS pulled) and we're still installing it when needed. But I need a fix that will install via WSUS.
In addition to handling all software and hardware installation and support we are supposedly supposed to know every employee's role so that we can do their jobs for them. It never ceases to amaze me how many people think it's my job to do a vlookup or setup fuel routing solutions. Apparently we don't require our employees to know a damn thing, just push it to the I.T. department to get it done....in a company with 1,000+ employees and an I.T. staff of 5.
Notice I didn't say that we purchase software. No no....that would mean that we're involved in that process. Instead some other department purchases the software and then notifies IT after the fact. It doesn't matter if it will work with existing hardware/software because the software salesman said it will work just fine. And salesmen never lie.
Some days I think I would rather flip burgers for a living.
Do you honestly think that they are paying the same rates as Slashdot for their bandwidth needs? Or Wikipedia? Wake up. They have massive bandwidth needs to serve their customers and they are paying for it. They have peering agreements when their networks connect to other networks. Don't spew stuff that's not true.
Amazon, Google, and Netflix want to use the infrastructure as much as they want without having to compensate the people who paid to build it and maintain it.
Bullshit. Amazon, Google and Netflix are paying for their bandwidth just like any other content provider. They aren't getting a free ride at all. They pay for their connectivity just like Slashdot, ESPN, Wikipedia, and every other website. The rules don't change because they provide streaming media.
Isn't that what online services like Khan Academy are already offering? I haven't used it and don't know much about it. But it seems to me these education outlets already exist.
If these were federal employees they wouldn't have been fired. They would have been reassigned. Or asked to take early retirement. Of course this would have happened after being suspended with pay.
Just look at the BlackBerry 10 devices. Completely touchscreen, no buttons on the front of the device. Only power and volume buttons on the side. Swipe up to wake up the device or go back to the home screen.
It's not possible to legislate a cost into oblivion. Roaming costs will get moved into a different user fee. Stupid people will think that their government just "solved an issue". Smart people understand what's really going on.
That's why. There is still a TON of legacy apps out there in use that won't function properly. I don't have that problem. But it exists. And that's only one of the reasons. I'm sure there are other reasons.
What mobile applications requires client download speeds of either 10.7 OR 26 Mb/sec? I mean we're talking about wireless broadband, right?
Agree. I can stream 3 HD videos at the same time when I hotspot my phone for other devices. I can run a VDI session with no problem at all. I can't think of any limitations that stop me from what I need to do on a daily basis.
It's not necessarily that Ethanol is a poor energy choice. It's also based on what the Ethanol was made from, and apparently corn is the least effective product to use for Ethanol. Sugar cane is the best to use by far.
So, we're supposed to ignore Obama's and Clinton's helping the Russians?
We have Obama on record: "Gov. Romney, I'm glad that you recognize that al-Qaida is a threat, because a few months ago when you were asked what's the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia, not al-Qaida. You said Russia... the 1980s, they're now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because, you know, the Cold War's been over for 20 years,"
Also: In March 2012, at a summit in South Korea, Obama was caught in a "hot mic" incident. Without realizing he could be overheard, Obama told Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that he would have more ability to negotiate with the Russians about missile defense after the November election.
"On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it’s important for him to give me space," Obama was heard telling Medvedev, apparently referring to incoming Russian president Vladimir Putin.
"Yeah, I understand," Medvedev replied.
Obama interjected, saying, "This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility."
Mind you, this is from a sitting President.
Then there is Hillary Clinton: - Hillary Clinton approved the transfer of 20 percent of U.S. uranium to Russia and nine investors in the deal funneled $145 million to the Clinton Foundation.
- Bill Clinton bagged $500,000 for a Moscow speech paid for by a Kremlin-backed bank while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State.
- Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman’s Joule energy company bagged $35 million from Putin’s Rusnano.
- Clinton Foundation chatter with State Dept. on Uranium Deal with Russia.
- Hillary Clinton hid $2.35 million in secret donations from Ian Telfer, the head of Russia’s uranium company.
All of this while Hillary Clinton was the active Secretary of State.
We know for sure that these all happened. It's undeniable. If Russia is a bad as the left claims, then why aren't they also going after Obama and Clinton?

They probably have $100,000 student loans each. They do work at Facebook. Also where they are has a ton of social programs that are raising the tax.
$100k student loans and they're contract employees in a cafeteria. Is that what a college education gets a person these days?

Then how did they setup this page if they had their access cutoff: http://www.snopes.com/save-snopes/ ???
I have a feeling this "fact checking" website isn't telling us all the facts.
What does mspaint.exe need to run? Are there any DLL files needed? Can I just copy the EXE from my Windows 7 box to Win10?

The icon doesn't mean "Android" to the Slashdot editor, it's a generic icon that means "smartphone." I should have been a taxonomist.
The mouseover text says Android.
Why does it have an Android icon for a story about a Windows OS?

Boiling temperature, May be.
I'm pretty sure that water doesn't need to be boiling to evaporate. However, warm water evaporates at a faster rate than cold water.

That sounds like fake news. I'm sure CNN will be all over it in 5...4...3...
64-bit versions of Windows do not support 16-bit components, 16-bit processes, or 16-bit applications
That's why. There is still a TON of legacy apps out there in use that won't function properly. I don't have that problem. But it exists. And that's only one of the reasons. I'm sure there are other reasons.
Hell, most entrepreneurs that I know are putting in a minimum of 60 a week and its usually closer to over 70 hours a week.

it's in the band.
