A security audit at the level of a ISO/QS quality registrar would open quite a few eyes. There needs to be a worldwide security standard such that any company hosting private information can voluntarily submit to for a rigorous audit that not only tests their security at all levels but makes sure that systems are in place to keep it up to date. Sure, building up a secure system to be able to pass the audit, and the actually going through the multi-day audit takes time and deep five figures of cash. Private industry needs to jump in and set living standards that have to be met. Companies that pass the audits can advertise that they have state of the art security online. Until this becomes the norm, expect corporations to continue to look at security as a cost and not a commercial advantage.
This makes no sense. If a chef can make every plate look identical and weight exactly the same based on precise quality control specifications, then they can claim copyright by filing a picture of their food and technical specs to obtain a legal copyright. It's just stupid otherwise. Cooking is an art, not a science. A "pinch" is not a technically precise measurement.
In 2008 desktop Linux had roughly a 1.0% market share. In 2015 the market share is up to 1.8%. That does not indicate that Linux doesn't have chance. Through extrapolation Linux will be above 50% desktop market share in only 437 years. Hope springs eternal.
They are expensive, but desalination plants should become a measurable and important source of California water usage. The upcoming Carlsbad plant is a nice start. But, it will only produce 50 million gallons per day. Conservation and grey water usage only goes so far.
If Cuba does what China did, put engineers in charge of making and implementing policy instead of lawyers, they will quickly move ahead with advanced cell technology. The people will use it if its available and priced fairly.
Typically we now see 20 minutes of ads for every 40 minutes of program. So, 1/3 of the time is commercials. Since commercials suck, It's little wonder that cable TV is shrinking its customer base. You can get the same crap, with fewer channels, over the air with the same 20 minutes of commercials per hour, and plenty of digital sub-channels showing old programs. Why not cut the cord when the cord keeps getting more expensive and the quality is not any better?
The comments made sense and were not scary. People want to be scared when reading news. Come on, let's get back to saying that Windows 10 will create worm holes that suck us all back to Vista and that Microsoft will be snapping pictures of you in your underwear, not the clean ones either.
A $20 monthly connection fee? Sounds like Verizon has a long way to go to match Straight Talk (CDMA where I live uses Verizon) at $45 month for 5-GB of full speed data, before dropping the speed. Verizon is hoping people don't notice the $20 monthly connection fee which is added to the monthly base charge, which makes it still to expensive for me with too little data. Also, $15 per month for each GB of data over the cap is quite excessive. No thanks.
The pictures are great. The one of the surface looks like asphalt scarification material that's been spread out and smoothed over. Just my narrow take on it.
I think the biggest reason is not that they want to move from Android, it's that Samsung pays Microsoft about $4 for every Android phone they sell.With their profits dropping, if they can change to Tizen and keep the same look and feel of Android with TouchWiz they will save big money. There are many sources when a search is performed. Here's one: http://www.theverge.com/2015/2...
You are way off base. MS stated that the upgrade is free for life of the PC it was installed on. The catch is that MS will try to capitalize on in-app purchases, where they make 30% and their push to be the one stop shop for even desktop software. If anyone decided to buy $1000 worth of programs from the MS store, MS;s cut is $300, plus any add-on sales attached to the program or app. That's their hope anyway. So, no you will not have to pay for the "steaming pile that is Windows 10". Just be smart and unpiin all their start menu tiles along with the store and treat it like an older version of Windows, after shutting off the couple dozen settings that let MS get your data. Here are the settings that I've posted elsewhere on how to turn off the ridiculous shared Windows Updates to keep MS from using your Internet bandwidth.
1. Open All Settings
2. Click on Update and security
3. In the left column click on Windows Update
4. On the right side click on the text link Advanced Options
5. Around the middle of the window, click on the text link Choose how updates are delivered.
6. Click on PC's on my local network. This disables send updates from your PC to random users on the Internet.
7. Close the Window. Check the setting monthly to make sure an update didn't change it back, until you have confidence that your setting sticks.
Excellent point. For years we've made sure to put BP Ultimate (clear with no alcohol) gas in our lawn mowers so no varnish builds up. It works wonders. Same mower after ten years has never not started.

I'm pretty sure that avoiding the use of "one more thing" won't be all that hard to do. There's always "but wait, there's more!"

Concerning your last sentence, since Firefox moved to Yahoo as the default search engine, I'd go with complete mental midgets.

And yet, work got done on those old crappy Dells. Many of them still work just fine, for their owners of them at least.

The movie obviously used time lapse photography so as to not be boring by making the single scene days long. Cinema magic and all that.

The Borg are already here. Exoskeleton is phase one. The laser eye will be cool.
A terrible movie, but it shows what can happen when someone hacks a lawnmower. Spoiler: killer lawnmower.
To all politicians that think chipping citizens is a good idea: Fuck you.

55 gallon plastic drum only and hydrofluoric acid. Do not wrap the body first. Did no one take notes during Breaking Bad?

Calling people names online is so childish. Please stop that shit.
And say "Muad'Dib" really loud. Take you spice first so you don't run out of juice. Only works with blue eyed people.
How about a jumper, hmm?
With all due respect, I'd rather eat Ramen and take a vitamin pill than consume the current Soylent formulations and fart all night long.
