I like this attitude. It means I'll be making a bajillion dollars when called to fix your build system, middleware and low-level interface code that all of your current employees are terrified (and unqualified) to touch.
Where does the AC say anything about the constitution? Furthermore, the constitution is written by humans, and can be flawed just like any other document or work. Saying "it's in the constitution, therefore just and ethical" is no different than saying "it's in the Bible, therefore just and ethical".
You're confusing medium with content. Physical books are not important in themselves - it's the content within them that's important, and that does not have to be tied to a particular medium. One can be very well-read nowadays without ever laying hands on dead trees.
Here's what happens...
The company gets a Linux SDK from some chip vendor which works on some reference platform. This is intended for development and evaluation purposes and has many interfaces exposed, which is generally what you want for development. The producer then hires some cheap amateurish programmers to write some application code on top of the SDK to make the product do stuff. The stock kernel and filesystem is deployed as-is. No security audit is done, no unnecessary services are closed, and few things are removed from the stock SDK filesystem.
It will never get fixed for any or all of the following reasons:
1) No one at the company has enough experience to lock down/strip down Linux - they just know how to write applications on-top.
2) There are deadlines and the management has a "it works, ship it!" mentality.
3) Some developer/engineer might know how to do things properly, but is so swamped with deadlines and babysitting all the juniors that it can't happen.
Yes. Pretty much anyone who wasn't a cable or phone company in the 80s. So, that excludes Bell, Rogers, Shaw, Videotron, Telus, MTS, and possibly other provincial entities.
Notable alternatives are TekSavvy (a hybrid business, not a pure reseller), start.ca, Wind Mobile, Moblicity... possibly some others like Primus and Distributel who I believe are pure resellers.
People keep saying this but it IS NOT TRUE!!!
Teksavvy leases ONLY the last mile, because there is no other way to do it. The first hop is a router completely owned and controlled by TekSavvy. I can trace routes and run all kinds of other utilities which show very clearly that TekSavvy is NOT a reseller.
No banking information is sent over email with Interac E-Transfer. That would be dumb. The recipient only gets a link and a user-chosen hint for a one-time password. In most cases, one can simply enter a bogus hint and tell the recipient the password over a more secure channel, like face-to-face.
If they charge you by debit, the assumption is that you need a bank account somewhere. Most bank accounts already allow one to send an "Interac E-Transfer" to any email address for a relatively low fee. I've done it multiple times. Maybe it's just a Canadian thing.
Why would I want to introduce a third party into this, when I can already do it through my existing bank?
Who's to say one has to connect to a TV? LCD monitors at 2560x1600 or 2560x1440 are pretty common nowadays, and yes, something like a Titan or dual 760s in SLI mode would make a big difference with these kinds of resolutions.
Can someone please explain to me what the point of this is? Even the summary suggests there is no point. The is the worst slow-news-day posting I've ever seen here.
Do what makes the difference between amateur event lighting designers at crappy small festivals and professional high-quality lighting designers. Crappy ones will point bright lights into people's faces and it hurts. Good designers will put up white fabric and sails everywhere and point lights into the sails and sometimes up into the sky.
While it might not be exactly applicable to your backyard lighting application, it's something to think about.
This isn't just about socializing. It's about working outside the home, being able to cook for yourself, doing your own laundry, doing your own shopping, etc. These adult kids are capable of none of these things.
Being an introvert is one thing. Being unwilling to do what's necessary to survive independently is another thing altogether.
No he's not. He's only a prime example if his parents are still enabling him to be useless into his 30s. For 17 year olds, it's quite normal.
I'd recommend getting him to pay rent if he's over 18 and not in school. Otherwise, kick him out. My parents did this, and I think it was a great idea.
I've heard time and time again, that Canadian (and American) men are highly desired by women in Japan. I've also heard time and time again, that the reason is because too many Japanese men are downright useless and misogynistic assholes.
Are you a genuinely nice North American dude with a real job? If so, it really is remarkably easy to meet wonderful women in Japan.
From the summary:
"not only doesn't require viewers to wear special glasses, but it also can be viewed from a wide variety of angles."
I do not see how this is possible without changing the laws of the universe. Maybe some marketing person just decided they can re-define what 3D means.
I can understand some of this. There are people who push technology where it really is cumbersome. Blackboard, for instance, is a horrible tool and costs more time, money, and effort for both instructors and students than just using paper would. At my university, only the most incompetent computer professors used Blackboard. The best ones used their own simple web sites and pushed content with FTP.
There are places where technology does help, but it's not universal. I still strongly believe that math and theoretical physics should be taught on a whiteboard and pencil/paper. I was using a tablet PC, way before the tablet craze, which worked pretty well.
In liberal arts classes, however, a laptop and keyboard was invaluable. I could type way more content than people with pens and paper, and if somebody missed a class, sharing notes was trivial.
In the end, it's about the right too for the right job, and fancy tech often simply doesn't add any value. It all depends on the kind of course and learning environment.

If this is true, then why do people keep blanket banning "GMOs", rather than banning things like glyphosate?
I wouldn't equate pseudoscience-believing hippies with Republicans.
I find this very impressive, not so much for the obfuscation, but for packing so much functionality into a small bit of code....

From the summary: "Square asks the sending for their debit card info..."
That sounds like bank participation to me.
No banking information is sent over email with Interac E-Transfer. That would be dumb. The recipient only gets a link and a user-chosen hint for a one-time password. In most cases, one can simply enter a bogus hint and tell the recipient the password over a more secure channel, like face-to-face.
Even worse, is that the summary claims "1 to 2 business days". Interac E-Transfers take minutes.
If they charge you by debit, the assumption is that you need a bank account somewhere. Most bank accounts already allow one to send an "Interac E-Transfer" to any email address for a relatively low fee. I've done it multiple times. Maybe it's just a Canadian thing.

"free phone-messaging app" is all anyone should need to know to recognize something as a surveillance tool.
Do what makes the difference between amateur event lighting designers at crappy small festivals and professional high-quality lighting designers. Crappy ones will point bright lights into people's faces and it hurts. Good designers will put up white fabric and sails everywhere and point lights into the sails and sometimes up into the sky.

It runs Windows. No one will buy it, and those who do will soon regret it.
Enough with the pretending Windows phones are actually good for something.
No. It's because his parents didn't kick him out for being useless.
You can't be addicted to porn and video games if you don't have food and a roof over your head.
