oh, well sure, and also it's only intended to "promote the progress of science and useful arts", which would, read strictly, invalidate a large proportion of copyrights, depending on what exactly "useful" means.
but that's mostly irrelevant. for better or worse, the federal government has that power until such point as the Constitution is amended. everything else is fluff and flavor text.
"it was never intended to let creators remove works."
if one has actually looked at the history of copyright and how closely it has hewn to censorship and state control, the irony of this claim is overwhelming. even if it were technically true, copyright was definitely intended to let the licensor remove works. the "creator" is just someone you try to avoid paying...
this comes down to whether you believed the car dealer with a suicide vest and blasting caps when he swore that he didn't have any dynamite, and none of his cars had any dynamite on them, and in fact he had never seen dynamite and, oh, also doesn't even know what the word "dynamite" means!
if you actually believed him, you're an irredeemable fucktard. otoh, if you didn't believe him but just wanted to see what would happen, that's a relatively respectable position.
easy, yes. hard, no, not really; there's a limit on that, unless you actually mean designing a new device from scratch and porting Android to it (without the Play store, presumably).
yeah, the article fails to mention what proportion of upgraders were affected. if it's 1%, that's to be expected for a patch of this magnitude. if it's 10%, that's bad; if it's 100%, it's a catastrophe.
what the hell is it anyway, that makes security tokens so easy-to-lose, even though everyone carries around their car keys all the time and that mostly works?
Oh, of course it won't provide any information; it'll just tell people, at most that police are being shot at in their neighborhood. They'll just turn it on every so often when they need to rile up the public or when there is an unwanted protest happening. Hell, maybe they'll even use it appropriately a few times, but even then, it might as well just flash "PANIC!" on the screen.
i was thinking more prosaic things like not being fired, feeding your kid, finding health insurance, not being evicted, etc. you know, all those things tech employees generally don't have to worry about.
see, to most people, browsers already are basically adware-delivery vehicles. they're going to hear about this, scratch their heads, maybe a few of them vaguely remember that one weird thing that happened on their browser, and then blip! they will never think about it again because they have much, much more important things to worry about.
after seeing mr robot crap at def con 24 (rofl), this isn't that surprising i guess. i wonder how much actual money the showrunners shell out for this.
4. re-draft all economically useless veterans. throw 'em in a C-17 and just drop them on whatever the fashionable target is, en masse. blacken the sky with the screaming doomed, now that's "shock and awe".

you know what would make the world better? if you stopped whining and moving the goalposts like a little bitch, and started killing yourself.
you should look up what "permafrost" means. also, mercury sulfates have non-zero bio-availability.
i guess they didn't cover these in young earth geology.

wait, what's the remaining 40%?

it's not lying, it's just a customized benchmark. technically correct is the best kind of correct. ;-)
unless that one product is mr robot. https://tech.slashdot.org/stor...
so it's happening anyway, and Trump can just take credit for it regardless?
thank god; at least it minimizes the damage.
maybe if computers made the sound of an engine revving up when you authenticated, people would manage to keep a hold of them? it's just baffling.

"Firefox is more supporting of privacy than Chrome so I'll be sticking with Firefox."
yup, that's what i was getting at. one little gaffe versus an entire business model. rofl

well, yeah, of course they can be. i'm just wondering what you're going to show them as damages.

"it's gonna cost them."
no it won't. no one is going to remember this in a month, and there are other much more significant variables in the browser "market" (such as it is).
good luck with that. remember to type it up; i hear the courts don't appreciate crayon.
The Chinese are already doing this?!
Mr. President, we cannot allow an inhumanity gap!
