If you can build a mass market laptop, you have the talent to implement a secure install process at least that an above-average high school programmer could write, and would make a second rate undergraduate project at best.
My conclusion must therefore be that this is intentional: because those who control the company, for whatever reason, desire an environment where the user enjoys no security.
Or have at least created an environment where both a white hat and US-CERT are told to "go away."
The students' lawyers say each student is seeking a maximum of $10,000, while the U.S. District Court Judge Lucy Koh told the lawyer that "Our clerk's office is really unhappy you are circumventing our [$400 per case] filing fees by adding 710 cases under one case number."
Then award should be a max of $14.38 each if Google is found liable. Oh, and don't forget to pay the shyster his 1/3 cut.
Gee, I replaced the hard drive in my Macbook Pro. Time invested in swap: 5 minutes. Had to replace girlfriend's hard drive in her Dell Inspiron. That took 45 minutes and a YouTube video. Yeah, those stupid Mac people....
...since the terrorist phone case and how easy it would be to force someone to unlock a bio-locked phone. What I'd like to see is Apple/whatever Android phones have that level of biometrics to either require a passcode or self-destruct if the wrong registered print is used to try and unlock it.
A few of us from the first days are still around but I now only check maybe once a week. Story quality is in the toilet, and the discussions are no longer entertaining or enlightening but instead just hatefests that feel like twitter and youtube comments.
Yeah, the definitions of "news" and "nerds" and "matters" has really been perverted. There are still some gems in the comments, but it's only worth reading them when they're not fresh anymore when they've been moderated up (or conversely) the shit has been modded down. Reading them live? Forget it.
"A 19-year-old woman called Massachusetts police about a drone peeking through her second-story window at 3 a.m. -- and was told no laws had been violated. "
But it seems dubious to sell short-term licenses for photographs - I've never even heard of that as a thing, and have no idea why anyone would agree to that.
But they did, and now they're in breach of the contract's terms. Decision: Photographer. Amount: Up to the court.
...because in their warped impression of firearm usage, making guns that way will somehow decrease "gun violence". It's an irrational and fallacious notion with no basis in fact or evidence, but the people who hew to it are powerful, well-financed, and zealous, so it continues despite having no basis in the real world.
...and in Michael Bloomberg's case, armed bodyguards.

For real security, use it twice.

Darn it. Too slow. Oh well.

I nominate rick zeman as faggot shill of the year
Spasibo. An insult from a troll is a compliment indeed!
This list reads like a really crap version of "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel.
You win the internet today.
The meaning of troll seems to have been lost. Just because you don't like them, doesn't mean they are trolls.
The latest trend being ANYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH ME IS A TROLL! TROOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Hence me putting "...has elevated the troll to the level of professional propagandists" in the headline.

And PINE Is Not Elm.
Anyway, so much for a jury of their peers.

How many ghetto denizens use Amazon to begin with, much less wanting to/being able to pay extra for same day delivery?
Have to admire the proprietors for their ingenuity, but for the customers...how lazy can you get?
Good thing we don't use our fingers to hold the phone. Hold it, we do. As a starting point: https://srlabs.de/spoofing-fin...
It's almost as bad as leaving the combo for the gun safe lock next on the gun safe.
I leave mine inside it!

"it took 20,000 people to build the original pyramid with a total of 77.6 million days' labor. "
That would be MAN days.

I'd shoot it down then. No ifs, ands, or buts.

I'll rely on a smart gun AFTER the Secret Service, FBI, and all other Federal cops are required to carry them as their primary and backup weapons.
The Feds have deeper pockets.
