Die Hard takes place on Christmas Eve, therefore is a "Christmas Eve" movie... This makes it very definitely a Christmas movie, but one to watch on Christmas Eve, not Christmas Day. IMHO IANAL etc...
I too find bottled water very confusing. We have potable water being pumped into our homes, and here (in Ireland) there were riots when the Government introduced water charges (which the Government eventually backtracked on). Yet people here still buy bottled water!
To put this in context, the water charges were something like 3.3c (that's €0.033) per 1000 litres of water. A 500ml bottle of water is typically about €1. So for the cost of buying a single 500ml bottle of water you would have paid for over 30,000 litres of water from the tap. That's enough drinking water for 10,000 people for a day, or enough drinking water for 83 people for an entire year.
So, yeah, the mind boggles when I see people so every so casually spending money on bottled water.
In previous seasons I wanted to watch every episode when it was broadcast. This season, meh. I watch it at some point during the week when I've nothing what to watch. I found most is the season very preachy. I found myself watching it almost because I felt I had to, and not enjoying it. The was very little by way of SciFi in it, and what was there felt very much shoehorned into the story. Over all, personally, I think this was the worst series ever. The writers made a point of dropping the Daleks and the Cybermen, and internally did what they did. They need to be fired and the writers from the David and Matt era brought in to get the show back on track.
Very disappointed. I don't think I'll miss watching it in 2019 if it was just too be more of that crap.
It's only a 128-bit AES key. We are running the following code to calculate the key:
for (long i=0; i0xffffffffffffffff; i++) {// something here }
It's running now on our fastest computers. We estimate it'll only take a few dozen millennia to run the calculation, assuming Moore's Law holds for that long...
Oh, wait, did you say they used a 256-bit AES key...??! We can still help, but we'll need a few dozen eons for the calculation to finish -- actually the universe will probably end, restart and end a few more times before we have the key. When did you say you wanted this by?
...generally involves me reading something, so I want to concentrate on reading it hence why I paused, or me leaving the room for something. In the first instance, I don't want anything playing. I hit "PAUSE" in order to, well, PAUSE what's playing. Not to invite something else to play that will continue to distract me from concentrating on what I want to concentrate on. In the second instance, well it doesn't matter as the first instance takes precedence for me.
Basically, don't do it, guys. It's a stupid idea that will end up just causing your users to hate you even more than they already do.
It seems obvious to me that the term "iPhone" is being used here to include all mobile phones. In fact the phrase "iphones and laptops" basically means all tech. This isn't an "Apple tax", this is "China tax". This will affect the cost of a huge number of items, not just expensive ones, and not just specific brands. All tech, right down to that cheap calculator you saw in Walmart last week.
This will increase the cost of your weekly shopping cart too, as the tech costs for your local supermarket chain is now going to rise, so they'll raise prices to compensate.
Not always. Take the phrase "I don't not like it!" or "I don't dislike it!". It doesn't mean I like it, it means something in between dislike and like. English is complex and subtle at times. Double negatives serve a function.
I'm Company X. Over the last number is years I've spent a lot of money building up a massive makiyng database, all at my own cost. I sell this data to people, cheaply, but still make enough money to help recoup the costs. It's not a cheap business.
Why, then, should I just give it all away for free?
There should never been a choice between (something invasive here) and losing your job. There should always be an alternative.
In this case, most of us carry an ID badge with an RFID. This performs the same task. Yes, the badge can be lost or stolen or loaned, whereas with an embedded chip these are a little harder. But I'm not sure I'd want to work for a company that insisted on this with an 'implant or lose your job' scenario. I would, in that case, walk out.
Now, I'm not against the chip-in-the-hand, per se. I can see some uses for it, especially if the chip can be used for other things (Android / Apple pay comes to mind, using it for banking, etc etc). Given an opportunity to get one installed, I would actually think about it, weigh it up, and made a decision, and that might be 'yes'.
I would have a huge problem with having it forced upon me, though. My body is my body. As a company, you don't have any rights to it. You hire me for my abilities, but you don't hire me to make any alteration to me, with or without my consent.
This fits into the "I disagree with your, but I'll still fight to allow you to have your own opinion" type category. Get an implant if you want, don't get it if you don't want, but I'll fight with you to ensure that it is a choice, and only your choice.
... can perform some tasks offline. I can send an email, navigate, and change phone settings (adjust volume, etc), probably more. I've tested these in aeroplane mode and they worked fine.
... will be the first time a SpaceX booster is launched for the 3rd time. Until now, no booster has flown more than twice. Booster B1046 is the first block 5 booster.
Ths booster was previously used on May 11 to launch the Bangabandhu-1 satellite, and again on August 7th to launch Telkom-4 (both launches from Florida). On Monday it will be launched from Vandenberg in California, launching 114 small satellites into sun-synchronous orbit.
The booster will land on the drone ship (Just Read The Instructions) in the Pacific.
I was under the understanding that it was 4 bars, but I'll be honest in saying that I've never verified that, I just trusted the source. But there are laws and there in a minimum, like you said.
For the Good Morning To You/Happy Birthday, all cases related to copyright here were down to who owned the copyright to the original Good Morning To You song, and whether that copyright was still valid. Happy Birthday was a known violation to the copyright. Splitting the first note did nothing here.
That being said, it's quite common for a company to produce something that tastes the same (or very similar) to another product. Aldi produce a drink called Red Thunder. It's an energy drink sold in 250ml cans, and (certainly to me) tastes exactly like Red Bull, only much much cheaper. Red Bull can't really do anything about it as Aldi (or whomever makes it for Aldi) were careful to ensure that the name and look are dissimilar enough to prevent that.
With music, you write notes on paper. Those notes are then copyrighted. Music copyright covers melody lines, so someone taking a melody and creating an arrangement that sounds very different would still be infringing the copyright if the used the same melody. (and, yes, that covered changing the key too).
Like someone already said above, had they gone after process, ingredients and quantities, and those sort of quantifiable things, they may have done better.
It's like to be able to say 'like' or 'don't like' or 'funny', 'sad', etc, similar to what Bookface do. Add more option, don't take the option away. Learn from how your users want to use your product, don't dictate.
Not quite. They can't, for example, test all possibilities of a 128bit symmetric key. It doesn't actually work like that. Never mind a 256 or 512 bit key.
However, they can be used to factor numbers very fast. Private Keys consist of 2 very large prime numbers (plus some stuff) and the correspondingly Public Key consists of the product of those 2 primes (plus some stuff). Factoring the public key into the 2 primes is very hard using current technology. Quantum Computing makes this much much easier.
It's this asymmetric (i.e. public/private key) encryption that's mainly at risk here. And public/private key encryption is used, like, everywhere. Every https website, for example -- like your bank.
Those last 2 sentences read like the blurb you get when someone is just randomly adding technical words to something to make it sound like it actually is something worth having, but isn't.
Giving the benefit of the doubt here, does anyone have any links to technical papers about this quantum-resistant cryptographic solution?

This is what happens when you put a billionaire in the White House. He has no idea that 10% is a huge amount for many people (let alone 25%!).
Next time, guys, put a poor person, or even a homeless person, in there. Someone who has some concept of the value of $1.
Yes, they are the words. The phrase, however, doesn't translate as the individual words. It's an idiom.
Well, an eye is effectively a camera. ;-p

Are you going to force Nestlé to give away chocolate for free? I don't think so, so why should I have to give you my product for free?
How long until we have more camera on our phones than a fly???

Scots Gaelic Vs. Irish Gaelic. ðY
It's more likely the Scots version, yes. But the Irish translation is still correct.
... can perform some tasks offline. I can send an email, navigate, and change phone settings (adjust volume, etc), probably more. I've tested these in aeroplane mode and they worked fine.
The hacker's name is "The Great Wolf" in Irish.
(In case anyone was interested...)

4.4 lbs == 2kg
(for those people wondering why it wasn't a whole number -- it's a whole number is the rest of the world)
I'll look them up. Thanks.
One wonders -- with the onset of Quantum Computing, what new public/private key algorithms could be created based on Quantum Computing itself?
Not quite. They can't, for example, test all possibilities of a 128bit symmetric key. It doesn't actually work like that. Never mind a 256 or 512 bit key.
However, they can be used to factor numbers very fast. Private Keys consist of 2 very large prime numbers (plus some stuff) and the correspondingly Public Key consists of the product of those 2 primes (plus some stuff).
