The popular belief is that security risks increase as the user engages in riskier... behavior online
So security risks don't increase as I engage in risky behavior? How does that even work? If something doesn't increase risk, then it isn't risky. I can start downloading and executing everything I see without increasing security risks?
Or even more reason to be afraid...IIRC part of the problem was they weren't telling people how bad it really was wasn't it?
That was the problem. By lying, officials were indirectly telling people that the nuclear disaster was so bad that they had to lie. Plus, not knowing how bad it is adds another layer of stress.
I'm not sure the anonymous reader understands how computers work. You can't just stream CPU power. Plus, one of the main reasons for using a console is that it "just works", and having to have it connected to the internet whenever you play would be a huge pain.
QR Codes don't send you anywhere. They're just data. They can contain web links, just like any written sentence, but a device won't download the content at a linked URL unless it is programmed to.
QR codes are futuristic, 2D versions of bar codes. Nothing more.
Defrauding Republicans, or their supporters, is like stealing from a thief, giving a lethal injection to a murderer, or raping a rapist. Of course it's bad, but it's hard to feel bad.
The data on that chart is pretty old. I looked at Tracfone, where I get minutes for less than 5 cents, and it doesn't mention anything about those plans that were all the rage last Christmas.
That pages says that the last update was 07/29/2012, and maybe some of the data is that new, but it doesn't work as a comparison chart if they can't keep most of it up to date.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Also, how is Google supposed to find out where they are, so that they can blur them out? Does somebody actually have a list they can provide them? Is google now responsible for maintaining and keeping secret a list of women's shelters?
Perhaps before they publish a map for an area, they can send in people to stalk battered women. If several of them go to the same place, that can be identified as a women's shelter, which needs to be identified^H blurred out on Google Maps.
Super Dimension Fortress has been around for 25 years. I get 50 MB of storage space, accessible over ssh or ftp. If I put it in the html directory, I can access and share it from any browser anywhere.
I haven't moved to any of these new "cloud" storages, because I haven't found anything that I can easily mount and copy files to and from. They all require special software that may or may not be trustworthy.
There are some downsides to SDF: * limited storage space * costs 1 dollar (you can keep your anonymity, though. Just send $1 cash, with your username. Return address not necessary) * takes a month to set up a new account * no human support or contact
in particular the hopelessly outdated Skype (who still do not have a 64bit version in static / dynamic - and Linux users don't all use Ubuntu).
Skype doesn't have a 64 bit version at all. They have Debian and Ubuntu packages that are labeled as 64 bit, but the binaries contained within are 32 bit, and require 32 bit libraries.
I think they do this so that dpkg won't give a "architecture does not match system" error, which doesn't apply to the raw archives. So you can use the package manager to install the skype binaries, but you're on your own for hunting down and installing the 32 bit libraries.
You seem to be missing the point. The triforce spinning was probably a bad example, since it's not that important. The problems with inaccurate emulators range from annoying visual glitches, to crashes, to actually making a game unbeatable. Star Ocean, for example, will sometimes crash in zsnes, but I haven't experienced that in bsnes. The battles run at double speed, much like the triforce in LTTP. Playing Yoshi's Island in zsnes, any level with those giant fuzzballs will tick every time you move. It's nauseating to get through. In zsnes, Super Mario RPG battles will sometimes de-sync to the point that the music and animations will continue, but your input will no longer work and you have to reset the game.
In Speedy Gonzales - Los Gatos Bandidos, if you're playing with zsnes, you can't even beat the game, because it doesn't emulate everything necessary to do so. In Sink or Swim, the room fills with water, and you need to swim above it. But because of timing and speed issues, the room fills up much too fast and you will drown instantly.
I love bsnes. Performance mode only takes about a Pentium 4. It performs perfectly. No crashing or heavy visual glitches. The sound works great. The qt UI was nice, much better than the hacked together UI of zsnes, but I haven't tried the newer phoenix UI. If you have the processing power, there is no reason to put up with zsnes's glitches, crashes, sound problems, or any other quirks any more.

For example ... an * [matches] any number of characters and so on.
No. That's shell expansion, not regular expression. To match any number of characters, you would use ".*".

DataTraveler HyperX Predator 3.0
I laughed for about half a minute at that name. Next year: Mega Terminator X-treme 5x5!!!
Buttons. It's touchscreen, but still has buttons 0-9 and others you'd expect on a calculator.
I predict that the results are accurate, but not nearly as exciting as NASA is trying to get us to believe.
What do you mean you still play your Wii? Wii is a current gen console. At least, it was yesterday.
The law says that you aren't allowed to spam cell phones with commercial advertisements. No opt out necessary.
It's a shame how this country treats our war heroes.
How about allyourdataarebelongto.us? I don't see how that wouldn't work.
Users may request checks for the amount of credit that has been applied to their accounts.
Users may also request that Amazon employees reimburse them with oral sex. But will they honor these requests?
Worked fine for me. But I have adblock. No javascript necessary.
Here is a direct link that works for me. I can't guarantee that it isn't time limited or connected to IP address or anything like that.

Heh heh. Be slut.

And who can play anything rendered in the cloud?
One person at a time.

That's funny. If I had a moderate button to go with my moderator points, I'd mod you up.
