that it really doesn't matter what humans do, or don't do, , because when it's time for mass extinction, it's time for mass extinction? Because 252m years ago, there were no people around to cause this.
I guess there should be some hue and cry about escaping Earth, and creating other places as biological refuges, but I don't know if we actually deserve it.
I don't even have to look at the broadband maps to tell you they are hopelessly optimistic.
If you zoom out far enough in coverage maps, everything is fine. There is a limit on how far you can zoom in though.
As to why the FCC accepted and didn't verify the accuracy of the "providers" data, that is a question some congressional investigatory body should dig into.
Is there any way I can get a chunk of the 4.5 billion available for rural broadband? I promise to do just as well as any existing corporate provider has done thus-far.
to run down to Wal-Mart and pick up a new $50 10 inch tablet./s
I still have and use the Android 2.1 tablet I bought I have no idea how long ago. It's mostly for reading books on. It also has OSM on it with GPS, so I can download a ton of maps and use it when I'm traveling.
Security 101, deny unauthorized hardware from connecting to the local network, either hardwired or via WIFI. Especially when having anything to do with banks. Going cheap never works well with networking that should be "secure".
Switches and access points are pretty trivial to setup to deny access.
to set up Stingray interceptors within their corporate sites, if people want to get any more paranoid. You know, in the interests of national security...
"That suggests that Chinese hackers may have been behind a campaign designed to collect information for use in Beijing's espionage efforts and not for financial gain, two of the sources said."
Wouldn't it be easier to just buy the data from Marriott?
If it's someone "looking to cash in" on the data, what are an additional 500 Million (guessing that there is a whole lot of repeat customers in this data set) records worth?
Used to be hard to get enough information for single credit cards, nowadays you would probably have to sell blocks of 10K records for a couple bucks. All these types of hacks are doing is to really devalue the data they are stealing to the point where it's not actually of much value.
Giving away??? Hmm, shoving up your ass is, perhaps, a better description of their approach. Or I might have been too paranoid at the time they were at it.
The good news is, I haven't heard of any linux distro having a forced update to Windows 10 (yet)
I don't condone the word fuck in comments, but it does stand out as an advisory for people who are messing with things they probably don't appreciate or understand,
Hug on the other hand doesn't really have the same warning value...
Don't forget all the SOHO wireless routers, NAS storage devices, probably TVs, DVRs, and a whole pile of other home appliances.
The one place Linux has been way behind is on the Desktop/Laptop,
Microsoft has been fighting tooth and nail to keep Linux Desktop at bay. Giving away millions of free copies of Windows 10 was part of this strategy.
This is being typed on a battered old laptop running Xubuntu with xfce. I think I booted Vista on once to check if it supported manual fan controls. It's probably 7 years old and works fine for me (I am not a gamer on PC systems)
7.3 million divided by 800,000 customers doesn't leave much room for attorneys' fees, right?
LOL, as if anyone but the lawyers get any of the money. It will cost more to track down and notify each impacted customer than anyone will ever receive.
Instead of completing a petition for the new employee, companies would register for free online to enter what's been described as the "H-1B lottery."
For Free? Just No. It's not like these companies aren't making money hand over fist providing indentured employees to US companies. With enough applicants, we could pay off the National Debt.
I don't even know of any EU search engines. Unless thepiratebay counts.
Maybe the EU should build a giant firewall that redirects search requests to their search engines and make Google pay for it./s
Of course then there is the problem of "local" search engines returning different results for French, Spanish, German,,, searches which would indicate preference to whatever skewed algorithms rhw EU creates to achieve "parity".
It WILL be used not only to undermine foreign carmakers' competitive position, but also for surveillance
Fixed that for you.
You forgot to add that your social media score will be "adjusted" if you speed, block traffic, make illegal turns, or drive to "certain areas" the government doesn't approve of.
I am pretty sure the could/will should be changed to "is".

There aren't any smartphone apps or dating sites using this (yet)
I guess psychopaths and sociopaths (maybe redundant or CEOs) will be the real winners in the
Voight-Kampff tests.
If "foreign" contractors make enough money, at some point it will actually make financial sense to hire "local" contractors instead.
As for treating contractors as employees, there are actually US laws pertaining to the treatment of contractors.

It seems like if the "fleet" was shutdown and all the generation was lost for 3+ years, why did they need to start turning them on now?
