You are poor and can't pay $11 a month to NOT watch commercials AND have a wider selection of content? Who's the idiot now? I don't know if you're trolling or not, but your "DROPS MIC" bit is super cringy. No wonder you posted as AC.
I'm not about to defend parent, because you're right, blaming another country for a terribly secured network is a terrible reason, but don't generalize and act like European companies are any more secure than American ones are. Two things you should consider before opening your mouth: (1) American companies are a bigger target, politically and economically. (2) It was primarily European and Asian countries that were the victim of the WannaCry ransomware. You can tout all you want about "Europe being more secure" (whatever that means), so don't act like your companies are more security-conscious. (3) Pointing to Americans being slow on adopting chip-and-pin credit cards shows how ignorant you are on the topic. Easily skimming credit cards has little to do (if at all) with what actual identity thieves do.
He has none. You'll notice the people that bash TypeScript have no experience with it. OP was comparing it to Python...two languages which two different purposes. TypeScript isn't perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better than writing straight JavaScript. And hey, if you don't like Microsoft, try CoffeeScript.
So sick of hearing this, especially in a context where it makes no sense. Did you even read the article, much less the editorial? Or are you just responding to the title? T-Mobile is offering it so long as you and another person are on a joint account and both have the unlimited data plan. It's a packaged perk.
So? I just don't understand how comments like yours that bash bug bounties get modded up...Bug bounties are a great thing to happen to the industry, at least for huge internet-based companies like Google and Facebook. No matter how many security engineers or developers you hire, your application will not hit the same level of testing as when it is released to the public. Google and Facebook realize this. Bug bounty programs offer legal incentives for ANYONE to make money, deterring blackhats from exploiting vulnerabilities for malicious purposes. If this guy didn't report this vulnerability to Facebook, a shitstorm comparable to the Target fiasco could have ensued if he had sold it to some other medium.
The click bait title makes it look like the utility is purposefully stopping solar power from feeding back into the system in an effort to stay pertinent in the industry. This is not true at all. If they REALLY wanted to screw customers over, they would buy back the electricity at little-to-no cost. The article probably got it's conclusions from some pissed off customers. Meeting electrical demand is a far more complicated issue then this article makes out.
Is there anywhere else you should buy computer parts from? Their hardware all seems to be competitively price, and their customer service is outstanding. My buddy bought a mouse at Best Buy that didn't work. When they didn't take it back, Newegg did and gave them a full refund.
There is nothing new about Google offering a wireless charger on their play store. This article is the equivalent of someone reporting that Amazon sells LED light bulbs.
If you're enticed by price, go on Craigslist and search for a normal used Wii. You will pay half of that and probably receive additional controllers and games as a bonus. This move by Nintendo doesn't really make a lot of sense to me...but then again many of their moves lately haven't.
"Hundreds of great games are already running natively on SteamOS. Watch for announcements in the coming weeks about all the AAA titles coming natively to SteamOS in 2014. Access the full Steam catalog of over nearly 3000 games and desktop software titles via in-home streaming."
"You can play all your Windows and Mac games on your SteamOS machine, too. Just turn on your existing computer and run Steam as you always have - then your SteamOS machine can stream those games over your home network straight to your TV!"
It's comments like this that are making me go to sites like Reddit for more insightful, open-minded discussion...something I didn't think was possible 2 years ago. There is a lot of interest in wearable tech, most notably Google Glass, which has been touted as something that feels natural and is very practical for real-world application. Take a second to look instead of living in your own world.
As someone who works at a power company, you are correct in your skepticism (mostly). The decrease on your bill will come when you choose to run appliances like your washer/dryer on off-peak hours. This is similar to phone plans advertising free nights and weekends. They are trying to develop the habit in the consumer to use electricity when it's least desired so that electric generation can stay consistent.
If you maintain your typical habits, then yes, you power bill will potentially increase. My company has yet to communicate whether an increase will happen during peak hours, but I think it's safe to assume it will. Some people believe the onus of having a chargeback model like this is a step backwards in technology.
Unlike video games which load data that will be used and reused by the system, DVD's are putting constant strain on the optical head two hours at a time. I believe I read somewhere that the durability of the drive would have to be a lot better than it is now in order to account for them. Someone correct me if I'm off base here.
No kidding. Most games developed for the Wii are utter crap. I initially mis-read the headline into thinking that Reggie was addressing this issue, but sadly he wasn't...
Surprised this isn't modded higher...but then again you put the word evolutionary in quotes, so the typical slashdot defense mechanism in people prevented any positive modding.
The article is very short and only gives the sample size, which in my opinion is too small (82). I'm curious to see the raw data and how "persuasive" it was in determining this conclusion. Additionally, other reasonings could be used. I wonder if some of the men used in the study simply enjoy barbequing and they attribute images meat to this.
GEORGE: Ah you have no idea of the magnitude of this thing. If she is
allowed to infiltrate this world, then George Costanza as you know him,
Ceases to Exist! You see, right now, I have Relationship George, but
there is also Independent George. That’s the George you know, the
George you grew up with — Movie George, Coffee shop George, Liar
George, Bawdy George.
JERRY: I, I love that George.
GEORGE: Me Too! And he’s Dying Jerry! If Relationship George walks
through this door, he will Kill Independent George! A George, divided
against itself, Cannot Stand!
I don't even understand why the OP is modded up when he's throwing out so many false assumptions. Starcraft was a success because it was a great game, not because of the pro league. The pro league was a result of it being a great game. And when he states that Blizzard is out of touch with their consumers, as you have mentioned here, they clearly aren't.
Personally, I like the ladder system that's built into Starcraft 2. Makes someone like me, who could never find an even match let alone a ranking system, have more interest in actually playing other players rather than the computer. And believe it or not, average Joe's like myself make up the majority of the player-base, not pro-league gamers.
It's amazing how we live in a world involving an infinite, non-discrete numeric system yet the computers we construct are always bound by some finite, discrete limitation.

I would argue these under-performance should know their weakness, identify their strengths, and move to a smaller stakes table.
Isn't this the plot to The Thing?

So what is you negative experience?

That is beyond true in the workplace involving "processes"

Is there anyone out there who has had past experiences with these kind of subpoenas? (i.e. "The Hurt Locker" lawsuits)
What has the aftermath been like?
No kidding. Most games developed for the Wii are utter crap. I initially mis-read the headline into thinking that Reggie was addressing this issue, but sadly he wasn't...
I guess the Powerbook
*Puts on sunglasses*
Didn't have enough Power.
"YEEAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!"
It's not optional, it's phased. Facebook always rolls out their changes with a phased approach, not changing all profiles at once.
It is inevitable.
