Not good for everyone's economy in the US by the way. Craftsmanship used to be a sought after trait and those people are out of work.
Short term. What they don't see is those out of work workers are no longer buying cars, or appliances, or most of the consumer products that keeps the economy humming.
China has a long history of selling dangerous products. From poisonous pet food to exploding electronics. When confronted, the Chinese government's response is "what a shame, we'll do something". The "something" is to rename the company and do it all over again.
Why the fuck does China have most favored nation trade status?
Because they've bought off a whole hell of a lot of people, but using cheap Chinese shit is good for the US company's short-term bottom line...which is all today's executives look at because that's what their bonuses and stock options are tied to.
I enjoy it. It's actually a nice feeling to see real commands (and parameters!) used and even one or two scenarios that don't have barf factors. It's more psychological than computer though. I'd give it 75%/25% psych/comp.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who's hit pause to check out the commands and syntax for realism....
...playing a game for 50 hours and then returning it is much like buying an outfit for a special occasion, wearing it to it, and then returning it. The sleaze fact is pretty much the same, and the only fact that would mitigate the game playing (and no one has alleged this) is at that point the game then becomes unplayable.
it is "not possible" for there to be misidentification
Oh really. I'm sure Mr. Patzer wouldn't mind telling us his IP address, then? Because in 5 minutes I'd have it look like he was swarming, downloading, and sharing the filthiest copyrighted scat porn videos the internet has to offer.
Obviously, they didn't teach you any history of what happened between 1940 and 1942/3 in your little world: Think American food, American gas, American vehicles, American clothes, American weapons, American planes, even American cigarettes. The Soviet Union wouldn't have lived to regroup to defeat the Germans if it wasn't for the Americans because they had none of the above, only bodies.
only a tiny fraction of people patch correctly. Also the millions of eyes is all complete bullshit and I say that as one of those sets of eyes. only a very tiny fraction of a percent have the skills to review code for security and most of them are gainfully employed doing other stuff.
Yep. The glaring security holes in OpenSSL prove all of your points.
With no PIN, there is really no major advantage. Steal a card, forge a signature.
The advantage is that you now have to steal a card, rather than just skimming the magstripe of one. The idea is that the chip ensures that you have the actual card, and the PIN (mostly) ensures that you are an authorized user of the card..
Yeah, basic two-factor authentication: What you have (card w/chip) and what you know (PIN).
Remember, Sheldon spent two-and-a-half hours on hold with Hewlett-Packard customer service just to complain about their customer service.
LOL, I just got pissed at Wired (CondeNast). Even though I'm paying their ad-blocker tax (too much of a pain to turn off Javascript when I go to their site, and and I'm sure as shit not going to whitelist them), I've been prompted to give them my CC info again, eg set up another account. I go to their support web page, notice that they have a star and "Required" next to email address. "Okay, that makes sense because that's my UID for them." I enter that, write up my complaint, and hit submit...and their form then complains about all of the personal info that I haven't entered like address and phone...all of the info that they don't need, and wasn't required. So then I was doubly pissed and started to add onto original complain about how they need to learn where and how to use "Required" and then I said fuck it and turned off Javascript.
There's a viable business to be had for computer guys here.
People will pay you money just so they don't have to talk to "Michael" with the very strong accent, and go through that tech support nightmare. You act as an agent - and aside from giving the personal touch, you might be able to look at the customer's exact problem in person and then go on to speak the same tech language to the offshore guy.
The problem with that is then you're stuck talking to the offshore guy (I broke a desk phone handset slamming it so hard in frustration once.).
it's a back-door, and back-doors do not build and insert themselves into structures. When NSA delivers the court orders to Intel, they abide, deny, and otherwise don't speak a word of it. This is how it works with U.S. technology these days.
On the other hand, the less people that know about "it" the better. That way no one talks about locked doors in San Francisco phone intererchanges and the such....

...could we be seeing propaganda about propaganda about propaganda?
A secret network in the Pentagon? And no one would notice its existence, much less its installation? This one doesn't pass the laugh test.

Why restrict the tests to 3G when this is a 4G world (at least in the US) now?
So you have full 4G coverage all over the US?
No, you spend most of your time with 3G connections?.. Maybe that is more relevant then.
Not to me. I probably have a 3:1 LTE/3G ratio, and I live in a rural area and work in a small city.

Shift Key mod. Now that's something I haven't thought of 25 years.

Considering that Facebook is arguably the world's biggest news service, it actually is sort of important.
News DISTRIBUTION service. It's not like they provide any original content like AP, Reuters, etc.
I can't click anything! I read my e-mail with elm.
Pine is not elm.

For the last century America has engaged in realpolitik, propping up and supporting reprehensible regimes and tyrants like in Turkey. .
Yes, and it all started with propping up Stalin and the Soviet Union. For shame, US, for shame.

Yep. The glaring security holes in OpenSSL prove all of your points.
All the millions of people looking over the source code ensures bugs are discovered and fixeded quickly.
Nope. There are many open source projects that have known security bugs which remain unfixed after as long as ten years.
OpenSSL being case in point.
Doesn't this bump into the Internet Tax Freedom Act and the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015?
Yes, this won't stand.

Yep. Burners are your friend.
EditorDavid has an idiot?
Yeah, someone with that kind of grammar has no right to call someone else an idiot.

"Once is an accident. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action."

We're way past three.
Close, and with correct attribution. "Once is happenstance..." not "an accident."
"Yingmob uses this platform to promote Tibetan Independence."
The matter should sort itself out rather quickly.
