An AI could be problematic, even if it isn't very intelligent. See the Paperclip Maximizer thought experiment, for example. Handing control of systems to AIs without checking for edge cases and rate limiting etc could get interesting.
or, they have their own safety tests in place and don't want to subject themselves to licensing or other fees to samsung Why would a company want to adopt Samsung's battery safety methodology? It has no track record since the battery exploding thing from their last model.
each site has a unique, computer-generated password. which is stored in encrypted form and only decrypted by you when you need to retrieve that single password. if one of the 20 sites doesn't store their password properly in their database, only that password will be compromised and the other 19 are safe. This is much better than using a single super-secure-nobody-could-possibly-guess-it password for all sites.
um. no. some dotcom doesn't get to sell naming rights to planets. and some dude doesn't get to immortalize his papa because he can fill in an online form. gramps may have been awesome, but he doesn't get the nearest extra-solar planet named after him...
the difference is that a spy is traditionally on enemy soil, so are likely considered more fair game. a hacker is likely operating from a basement bunker in virginia etc...
apologies for incorrect word manufacturage, professor. I figured a post by someone who couldn't figure out what to do with a dead phone might have been a place where it'd be possible to get away with less than dissertation-level language usage. also, don't actually put it in a microwave. it could asplode.
Peak Oil would be a welcome thing, if it would force us to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and thereby reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Maybe Peak Oil is the only hope we have that we'll stop before completely killing this planet?
transparent scrutiny, unless it's related to "homeland security" or "the war on terror" - in which case, it's completely opaque, and asking for the info will wind you up in gitmo...
"feed" publishers will likely select a subset of feed formats (perhaps a single format) to implement in their CMS or whatever.
"feed" readers/aggregators will have to be able to understand all flavours, so it really doesn't matter what flavour a publisher chooses. Pick the right one for the job. Want a lightweight feed? rss 0.91 would do... Want enclosures? RSS 2.0... Leave it to the reader/aggregator to understand all feed formats (as they all do now), and it becomes largely irrelevant which format/flavour is chosen by a publisher.
Exactly! It's trivial to support various formats, or flavours of formats (rss 0.91, 1.0, 2.0), that it really doesn't matter. It's not like anyone supports one at the expense of any other format/flavour.
And, really, to the end user this should all be transparent infrastructure stuff. That's like saying a person gives two shits if they're viewing a web site in HTTP 1.0 or 1.1, or I suppose a more accurate comparison would be XHTML-Strict vs Transitional vs HTML 4. Sure, there are arguments to be made for any of them, but they all work...

was there an epidemic of flag burning? I blinked.
and did they use the same testing protocol that came up with "100 year archival gold CD-R" disks that degrade after less than 10 years?

Both are viable platforms with lots of games and players. Who cares if one is twice the size of the other?
and emails!
wait. people agree with each other on the internet? what the hell just happened? ;-)

compare how long it takes for each old smartphone to asplode. hilarity ensues. maybe do it outside. and stand behind a lead wall.

If you don't trust the provider of an installer, don't run it. And when it asks for your password, click cancel. Nothing to see here. Move along.
In a follow-up article, the author breaks the scoop about not leaving your password on a Post-It(TM) Note on your monitor...

I wasn't very clear with what I meant...
