Somebody bury him in the the closest snow bank please wherever he is. TWC is no longer a source of information for me about the weather after this event. Too much sensationalism interspersed with some actual reporting. I watched this morning and they had a chalkboard up with a formula for calculating population density; all in multiple colors of chalk.
Well the CFAA gets used and abused quite a bit. I'm sure it's applicable here. The problem is proving who the perps are who wrote the stuff and catching them. Since you're implying the US government or some of its allies then let's suppose that you could provide evidence at trial that they actually wrote it and used it to hack your system. The simple response by government lawyers would be "national security" in which case they have a better than 90% chance of getting the judge to agree and your evidence is excluded and sealed. On top of that you'd have a gag order put in place that if you ever did disclose the information you found you'd wind up with a long vacation at club Fed.
Actually since 2007 They're a division of Northrop Grumman and responsible for the X47B. They have a free creative hand but let's say instead of advances in aviation of a civilian nature they're now in the military business. They still have contracts with Virgin Galactic so don't expect them to be completely out of the picture. Burt retired in 2011 so he's no longer involved with any of it.
In other words, you can know that the function to perform some task exists*, or you can know where to find the control that should make it work** -- but knowing either one will cause the other to fail.
Really, Quantum is the reason I hate "modern" UI -- the spatial UI makes sense with human psychology; this contextual stuff means that we change the function of the software just by observing it, and that means we can never memorize it all and just move on.
Which is why the UI design should be more straightforward. Contextual order in UI is more troublesome and more difficult to learn, hence trying to avoid nesting menus beyond two layers. In the literal sense there's nothing quantum in a UI and when we're talking Windows, nothing transforming to come close to it. I can only hope that the folks who have brought Start Menu sanity to 8/8.1 produce something that we're used to at least however I could also assume that MSFT has gone out of their way to prevent it. So either I'll have a reasonable Start Menu or I won't but just starting at the screen figuring out where/what to click seems inevitable.
So does that mean every Windows 10 system will include a cat that's either possibly alive or dead? I'm not sure I want a cat in my Desktop system getting fur all over the insides. I wouldn't want a dead cat either because it'd start stinking up the place.
It's the new "Dude, Where's My Car?" Operating system design methodology. You'll have to guys pop up in leather jumpsuits asking if you have your Continuum Transfunctioner? They had thought about using "Chinese Food" as a menu but it would be nested too deeply with infinite "and then" sub-menus.
I make a living on Linux and Windows. So, a strategy for removing both will need to be ironed out because I have customers who won't use IE at all and they will be migrating to Windows 10 sooner than later.
I hear the ultra-fucking-high-def (UFHD) standard will be out in 5 years. I'll wait to upgrade my TVs and players when they support that standard. That way I can watch Ultraporn
This harkens back to when the Consent Decree was put into place, then it wasn't, then it was watered down and now it's expired (as of 2011). The EU on the other hand at least forced MSFT to give users a choice when it came to browser selection. It still seems as though we still have to have IE and this new Spartan presumably. I guess I'll need to download the preview and see if I can get rid of both.
There's good sex, great sex and just sex. None of it is ever really bad (between consenting people YMMV) just like a Star Wars film. Some were good, some great and some were just movies.
If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it.
By slowing light down, the government will be able to tax and regulate light, dramatically decreasing budget deficits and changing the economic landscape! Of course people with solar panels will be assessed charges based on the amount of light they're using unlike the rest of us who use good old coal fired electricity. Light will now be regulated into special light speed and slower than light speed lanes on the highways with of course, toll booths.
This isn't going to be good for the NSA or other government agencies trying to snoop into your data but like a thief there will be some way that they'll find a weak point. Whether that's a weak key, a weak cipher some flaw in the negotiation protocols or brute force they'll find some way to get into it. They could just outlaw strong encryption technology as "munitions." I just thought that being a private citizen, one who values his privacy, wouldn't necessitate playing cat and mouse with my personal communications or data. If it's my possession, in my house, in my car there's constitutional safeguards against unreasonable searches and seizures. If it's transmitted to a server outside of my control or across the Internet or even a waxed string between two bean cans then those protections somehow vanish and my own government collects every piece of data they can about me like sweeping up so many fish in the ocean. To me that's not liberty, it's fascism. Secret courts with secret rulings, your information warehoused in Utah on who you called, where you went, who you emailed. That's not my country and doing it to fight "terrorists" doesn't work as an excuse either. I'm already migrating to overseas e-mail services and offshore cloud storage services and that's a shame because I should be able to have the same rights to privacy as somebody in Switzerland.

Now our Malware/Virus software engineers are practicing reuse. Excellent development practice out there folks! Keep Reusing that code!

So I won't get the "Big Ass Panties" effect then? I'm disappointed.
have you tried tipping and champagne cocktails?
It was only Huffington Post trying to actually report on something rather than rehashing news from other sources. Instead they created news.

At one point they were using body paint as clothing and a local municipality said "no." damn city hall. :-(
Yes, yes it is. http://www.redneckheaven.com/
Wait you still have Tilted Kilts? They closed near me and I have to settle for Twin Peaks or Redneck Heaven now.
My Ferrari only goes 210 MPH but they said it would go 217!

When it comes to AV products I usually trust the Romanians or the Russians. KIS is lightweight and just works.
One of the main reasons i got rid of BitDefender. They started popping shit up on your screen even though I had a paid version. Fuck that.
Then you can stop overcharging for STBs and allow us to purchase them outright then!
So, you're saying it was a random bathroom stall visit then? o.O
