In all the conversation so far no one bothered to post anything about how to actually verify if the vulnerability exists on a system or whether anyone is offering a vulnerability scanner for this.
The best scanner I've seen so far for previous versions of Stagefright vulnerabilities is this one.
So far Android and Samsung Pay are big flops. Android Pay supports almost no cards at all. Samsung Pay works on only a few of their most recent and expensive devices. Hopefully some company like Intuit will come along and kick their butts.
I also don't understand something about this technology: How can it be that any cards do not work with it? If the technology were designed right, than all cards would simply have to work with it in lieu of their being actual cards. What's this BS with Chase not working with them because now they want to have their own pay app?
This is what would have happened if the early pioneers who laid the foundations of the Internet which we use today had been greedy losers like all the people in the tech industry today. There would be no universal standard or protocal which everyone would use. Instead a bunch of different greedy losers all trying to capitalize off their niche and no standard.
We would not have had e-mail, for example, but rather Apple e-mail, Chase e-mail, Samsung e-mail.
That reminds me of those mimeograph copies, back before laser and jet printers. I remember getting handouts all the time at school that were copied that way, almost always having some of the pigment/paint stuff spattered at various random places on the page, and often one corner of the page wasn't aligned correctly and sort of faded away.
Does anyone know if any of the extremely large telescopes being planned/built will have the capability of resolving the star in sufficient detail to determine what is happening?
I'm wondering if any of the new extremely-large telescopes being planned/built will be able to get a sufficiently detailed image of the star to determine what is happening?
Experiments on mammals are gruesome and sick. More important than where you arrive is how you get there. If, in the process of getting there, you violate the sanctity of other beings which deserve freedom just as we do, you will find that everything you thought you have gained you will ultimately lose 100 times over.
I use AdAway, a system-wide ad blocker, with Android. Also *highly* recommend Firefox (and others) Ghostery plugin. You might be able to get a list of domains from Ghostery, or perhaps other ad-blocking software.
On the topic of burnout, perhaps it would be beneficial for him to undertake management training and be able to start effectively delegating things, like many of the interactions with developers where he ends up feeling tense. There's an ancient Chinese concept about how one's state of mind and inner tranquility are of seminal importance in any undertakings.
Just want to say that it is the responsibility of any colleagues of a person who has a serious problem as Linus does to stand up against it in the strongest way possible. Any who do not are complicit in the propagation of the abuse.
The language being used in that post you linked is outrageous, highly unprofessional, and totally unacceptable. Those words were written by Linus Torvalds? He needs help. He needs to undertake serious counseling or else stop interacting with people.
No employee and in fact no human being should ever have to be exposed to comments like that. The language he uses is indicative of very serious flaws in his personality. He seriously needs to undertake counseling for the sake of every human being he interacts with, who is exposed to him.
I just upgraded to an S4 recently but after rooting and installing TWRP recovery on the stock kernel, MetroPCS no longer allows OTA updates. I've been playing with different ROMs. Cyanogenmod 12.1 is good but is missing Wifi Calling feature. I also actually miss the Samsung camera app which has more features.
Another ROM similar to CM is Candy5 which has a few more bells and whistles. Another popular one is AICP.
The one I'm trying now and actually liking a lot is Albe95 S6 PORT 3.5. It is basically backported Galaxy S6 for the S4.
After decades of inflicting massive harm upon sentient marine life, now in 2015 they say they are going to limit it and have the audacity to make it seem like they're being environmentally responsible. Totally disgusting.
Its odd, I was just reading the other day about the earliest known manuscript of Beowolf that was badly damaged in a fire in 1731. In this day and age when everyone is forced to pursue practical education and training, I would love to learn Old English (and several other really cool ancient languages like Hittite) just because its cool. Its a sign of a collapsing culture when education becomes more and more about "necessities" like vocational and job training and you can't even get a course in Sanskrit or Attic Greek.
Thank you both. I love this stuff. We need more researchers like this coming and telling people in the world about what they are doing. Too many people in society are just totally disconnected and disengaged from the fascination of science. It breaks my heart every time there's some stupid Super Bowl or other event and half the town is getting drunk and freaking out, yet when Curiosity landed on Mars the city was silent.
This is a great breakthrough in analyzing ancient human origins. It would be interesting to use this technique to gain more insight on the origins and migration patterns of early north and south american populations. The Bearing Sea land bridge and south american sea voyage origins are still very confusing and incomplete.
This guy speaks at length about genetic patterns related to migrations into the Americas in some of his lectures.
I'm still sticking with my Netgear DGND3700 v1 DSL modem/router all-in-one with its excellent custom firmware which includes Annex M support (for higher upload bandwidth) which my local carrier (Sonic) allows customers to toggle on.
OpenWRT supports the router only but state that they will never support the DSL modem unfortunately.
The basic reality is that he has no chance in hell of winning, and will only split of votes from Sanders. Regardless, Trump wants to dramatically change tax policy and start taxing the uber-wealthy. He wants to abolish Obamacare not because he doesn't want universal health care - he most certainly does - but because Obamacare was a huge giveaway to the middleman who are exactly the ones Michael Moore documented in the movie SIcko. He also wants to make sure that all companies and businesses in America follow immigration law, and only hire Americans, which I support. Finally, he was very much against the Iraq war and regularly speaks at length about the extent to which it has been a major debacle for the US.
He is the only candidate who can speak in front of cameras and microphones without a teleprompter, speaking honestly and openly. He is also openly taking on the Big Media establishment which is doing everything it can to destroy him.
The Chief Executive has a lot of power, control, and leeway over how agencies are run and what their priorities are. Congress can pull tactics like cutting funding but he still has a lot of power and can also invoke showdowns in which Congress - already loathed and distrusted by a significant amount of the population - would come off looking very bad.
I think it is exactly the kind of shakeup that America needs as there's no question he's going to thrown down the gauntlet on a lot of important issues and we'll see if the Republican majority in Congress backs a Republican candidate who won with a clear majority from the party base actually care about the voters or just about their own agendas.
"Nice straw-man, bootlicker. There's zero legitimate reason for blocking pornographic sites..."
Except that I bet many if most of those sites are operated by sleazy scabs who don't give a fuck about women whatsoever and probably ripoff most of their pics from other sites, i.e. legitimate copyright holders.
I'm glad to see some action to counter the sleazebags.
I just installed Total Commander after checking out a couple videos of it on YouTube. It reminds me a lot of a file manager I used with Linux a while back, which I can't recall the name of. It looks like a port of it.
It seems rather crusty unfortunately and the fact that it mentions Windows XP in the settings is scary.
I also cannot configure custom column fields to use only fullname and size instead of the highly annoying name and ext fields.

Sadly too stomach cancer rates are higher in countries like Japan where pickled items are still enjoyed by a large percentage of the population.

In San Francisco it doesn't matter. They've already sold out.

This is some of the coolest scientific research being conducted in the world. A new record for the oldest sequenced human-lineage DNA.

We need Donald Trump for President!

Go vegan. Problem (plus a zillion others) solved.

most recent update April of last year. approaching the stick and poo zone.
