.... why is it a good idea to come up w/ yet another wireless standard when we have existing ones? Like if my rice cooker needs to connect to the internet, why not just use a legacy 802.11a chipset to let it link up to the internet at slow speeds? Do the things on the internet of things need to be high bandwidth as well, if they are not delivering intensive data, such as video data?
Wait until that rice cooker comes with an always on advertising screen. Won't happen? I can list out the gas stations I refuse to go to for this very reason. It's only a matter of time. Oh you want the one without advertising? Only Bloomingdales carries that, and it's a bit pricey.
What where the best and brightest US pathologists and epidemiologists doing for a decade?
Oh it was a weird time. There was so much politics around AIDS research, that it took forever for people to even accept the facts. Do you remember the HIV deniers? The people who insisted that HIV does not lead to AIDS, and that there was another cause? Congress was reluctant to spend any money on research, since they didn't want to be called out as helping gays. Researchers had to worry about how they presented their studies for fear of losing funding if they phrased things incorrectly.
Bullshit. Your responsibility is to self-quarantine until you are sure that you aren't infectious. Otherwise, you're culpable for the people you infect. That jerk who comes to work with an active flu and infects the whole place should have to suffer with ten consecutive flus for that.
Except you are spreading the infection well before you show symptoms, and everyone at the office has probably already been exposed (whether they use that useless hand lotion or not.) So basically, learn about how viruses spread before hunting for witches.
No. We just won't be using macbooks for development any more.
I've heard some immature whining before, but this wins the prize. You heard him. All developers must now stop using MacBooks because he misses his dedicated escape key.
You're comparing Netflix original content to the best TV shows that have ever been made. No, they don't compare to Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad or The Wire.
Sputter. That's the sound of me spitting out my soda with laughter.
This is the middle ground. Police won't be shooting at criminals. They'll be using less lethal means to do their jobs.
Define criminal. Criminal is anyone that the powers at be want to take out. That's quite likely to be anyone, like you, based on your political views or just not bowing to the magistrates. Police no longer serve the citizens. They serve those that have bought and paid for their services, though their political contributions. Forget serve and protect. That doesn't apply to you any more.
The USA spend about as much for "defense" than the rest of the world. This is a huge cost (of order 1T$/yr) that the main superpower is unable to let other countries cover in a way or another (say by buying USD for free). In the end being US citizen has a cost that translates in more work time, lower life quality than a couple of other countries.
Let's rephrase that. A huge part of the government's spending goes directly into the pockets of the boards of companies like Halliburton so that they can spend it in the middle east on ridiculous opulence like a hotel with a water filled lobby.
.. holding mobiles and tablets. That is why I do not go to concerts anymore.
Interesting. I've never seen that at a concert, but I've only been to Killing Joke the last few years. Different crowds have different priorities. The people there felt privileged to hear a legendary band live, and were too busy listening to the music to fiddle with devices.
The Reuters article lists other data breaches and malware infections at nuclear sites over the years, and notes that the IAEA director "also cited a case in which an individual tried to smuggle a small amount of highly enriched uranium about four years ago that could have been used to build a so-called 'dirty bomb'." At the isotope research center at the University of Toyama, the attacker reportedly compressed more than 1,000 files to make them easier to transmit.
This paragraph conflates separate, unrelated incidences, one of which has nothing at all to do with cyber attack. Why?
In todays bleeding edge market, no one takes the time to properly test their components before shipping to market. They want to get the latest and greatest into the hands of the customer yesterday. What ever happened to Underwriter's Lab? We need something like that for cell phones, tablets, etc. Refuse to allow a company to sell products that haven't been tested for safety. Nah, what am I saying. Those corporations own the puppets who are supposed to make these laws. Never going to happen.
Democrats tagline about being the party for the little guy is every bit as truthful as Republicans ideas about being the party of fiscal responsibility. They're both so full of shit that they could make billions in the fertilizer business. Lets be clear - all politicians today are there for their own personal enrichment and power. If you ain't the one who paid their bribes, you ain't getting anything back except maybe a form letter.
The difference between the parties is which industries pull the strings. For the republicans, it's environment destroying oil and people killing arms manufacturers. For the democrats it's entertainment, internet, and high tech. It's annoying when you can't get a movie in the format that you want, but that's still better than having a smart bomb dropped on your head.
My wife and I both bought the 6+ when it came out.
I'm on my 9th replacement unit. She's on her 7th.
Assuming that this story is correct, and the fact that most with the phone never experience the described problem, it is quite obvious that you are doing something destructive with your phones to get that many to fail.
The scale is what wasn't know. this is every email going through there servers. Which is unconstitutional. Oh, and their poor implementation led to back door access as well.
Other questions still to be answered: Did google & microsoft do the same thing? So far, they've said 'no comment'. Which isn't good.
Why is that even a question. Of course the NSA have everything that they want to look at from any cloud provider. As long as they can legally use gag orders, there is no privacy. Period.
That's correct. When the baby boomers are retired, retirees outnumbers workers, and two-thirds of the federal budget goes to Social Security and Medicare in 2030, taxes will have to go way up to pay for everything else.
We could always set up public health care like any other reasonable country and take the health care corporations' extortion out of the equation. Nah.
Sorry but no. There's a shitload of videos and text which show without a shadow of doubt that promises were made and left unfulfilled. people bought the game based on the information at hand which was more than misleading. Misleading is when you hint something, which proves to be less that was was alluded to.
Jesus Christ. My Atari 2600 Superman game had a cartoon of Superman on the front of the box, but only a pixillated blob in the actual game. You didn't hear about people demanding a refund because of that. Of course the advertising lies. What kind of surprise is that for anyone?
Once you start taking an interest in dishonest play in a computer game and experience the thrill of successfully beating the system to do it -- you're exhibiting the same characteristics the common criminal does (enjoys the challenge of outsmarting the system for personal gain).
I would argue that those are the characteristics of any successful businessman.
Something here does not ring true. The only information we have is from the parents and patient, because no one else is talking, due to the law suits. I refuse to draw any conclusions until we know the whole story.
The "dolphin language?" So what is the "human language." There isn't one. There is no species language. A language, as we understand it with mammals, is developed over generations, and taught from parent to child. So were these wild caught animals? From what pod? How big is that pod? These are the interesting questions.

Back in the Ancient Times, there were colorful iMacs with cathode ray tube screens.
People turned Mac Pluses into aquariums 10 years before there was an iMac. And I've seen pictures of televisions turned into aquarium from the 60s.

It's just a fucking ordinary Emacs add-on.
Typical hipster marketing talk.
Emacs was hipster before we ever started using that word. And it's pronounced Vee-Eye, not Vie. Off lawn get.

UN has its own space program?
*mind blown*
Whatever problem NASA has with bureaucracy and money-wasting, compared to the UN they are like Henry Ford and Jeff Bezos combined.
Yeah better to let the US run things than to actually let other people in the world have a say in anything.

Applications and operating systems will bloat appropriately to use the new bandwidth.
So we can expect cheaper home grown hydro weed in Japan now?

If they include javascript, why not perl? I find it hard to believe that there are more R programmers than perl scripters.
Me is still a word. It should not be replace with "I" in all cases because you think it makes you sound more intelligent.
