Only if I want the whole movie. If I download the soundtrack only I'm perfectly OK...at least in Canada. Odd times we live in where we are allowed to "steal" music but not video. Oh well, it's the bed the music industry made, and now we get the benefit of sleeping in it.
If only someone could convince the T.V./movie industry to leave some loop holes open for us Canadians to get access to the one show we would like to watch without paying over $100 for a cable subscription we don't need or want.
OH WAIT! Maybe they could just make their shows available for a small fee on a per show basis? Oh wait, that makes too much sense.
Observing public spaces, even if from altitude, generally has been considered quite okay with the courts.
The problem is that 'public spaces' change based on altitude. What happens in my backyard is private...if you are on the street. My reasonable expectation of privacy extends to my backyard because I have a fence. If someone comes by and stands on a ladder to take pictures of me in my yard, they are invading my privacy. So yes, those planes are looking into many places that are not public spaces. Just ask Google, they got into a lot of trouble with their streetview cars because the cameras were mounted higher than eye level and were getting pictures into peoples yards.
Quick question...if the San Bernadino shooter had locked his own phone (by intentionally password failing 10 times) before he left, could anyone get into it?
Quick question...I don't know American Politics very well, but it seems to me that a move like this could just make Apple says something along the lines of "OK, we're leaving. All you Americans with your love of iPhones now can't have one because your government screwed us over. If you want us back, you'll have to vote Trump in and reverse the decision." Would that not scare the current establishment into some kind of concessions? From what I hear most Dems and about half the Republicans are terrified of anything that makes Trump stronger.
Try installing it through Ninite. It's a fresh computer set up person's dream. Check the software you want, download the installer, and BOOM all installed, no crapware, no having to click "I accept" repeatedly.
You think there would be any comment in a political discussion which was not provably and demonstrably false? Unless the comment was "both parties are lying" any attempt to back a candidate from either party will be "demonstrably false" given how long these candidates have been alive, the amount of stuff they have done/supported, and previous things they have said on record.
Very few (I hesitate to say none) political candidates have demonstrably supported the same position over their entire careers.
Any attempt to back that candidate in a comment could then be modded "demonstrably false". Therefore, there will be no comments on political threads on Slashdot...wait a second...I think we just fixed Slashdot.
From what I hear, Israel figured this one out...security checkpoint isn't inside the airport, it's a checkstop one mile away where people are still in vehicles. Worst thing you can blow up is one, maybe two cars unless you are really packing a boom. Keep in mind anywhere near Israeli airports is basically a militarized zone, and that doesn't look 'American' to have guards with automatic rifles checking your stuff, but their security record is quite good considering the issues they have with their neighbours in the region.
Couldn't they just attach some kind of reciever to the port and send it remote instructions...like once car hits 100 km/h (60 mph) disable brakes? That being said, they could always just cut a brake line as mentioned above.
What exactly do pilots use their peripheral vision for? Last time I heard a pilot talking, if you could see the other plane you were waaaaaay to close. That is what long range radar is for, you can blow them up before you can even see them. Especially at the speeds places are currently flying, vision isn't really all that useful.
Unless you mean using peripheral vision to watch your radar while playing angry birds on your phone. Then yes, pilots depend on that.
I have to disagree with some of your statement...I hate doctors not because they often don't know what is wrong and hand wave to distract you from the fact that they are taking a guess...even when you are fully aware of what is wrong with you from past experience.
Computer people generally do know what is wrong, and can fix it. So they explain happily while they work. Some doctors may, but a good number do not, so they hand wave. I will give them the fact that a human body can fail in many more ways than a computer, but it is still a frustrating exercise to find a good physician.
Well I just had a chance to check out the rocket sticks...not worth it. They are over 200 dollars without contract, and as mention around here somewhere the connection is subpar. Sorry for the crappy advice above, I just knew it was a possibility.
Slashdot Mirror
Technically it's classist.

Naturally. When you set off a bomb over Japan I'm sure it induced a TON of electrical current in their transmission lines.
Actually I bet current devices 2016 will still connect to the same wifi in 2038.
Remember wifi 802.11b came out in 1999 which makes it 17 years old.
2038 is only 22 years away. 801.11n and ac will still be around.
But...but...what standard will the hoverboard I've been promised run on?
Quick question...if the San Bernadino shooter had locked his own phone (by intentionally password failing 10 times) before he left, could anyone get into it?
I'm sure the company would be happy to do that if the FBI paid them to (which would be an additional fee).
Reminds me of an oldie but a goody from Red vs. Blue...

May I be the first to say...this story floats my boat.
If that doesn't work, how about: "Uber: Ride Shotgun"
Too soon?

Brilliant little tool.
"building the ARC would only take 4 to 5 years"
We all know this is at least 10 years out.
Recounts were essentially meaningless and the only fair thing would have been to have a runoff.
I agree. All tied elections should be decided by a foot race from this point forward.

Bad news...It's December. Canadian sunshine is too damn cold for U.S. solar panels.

Good call. At least with nuclear war I won't have to deal with DRM anymore.
Oh ya? My router drops ALL requests...
It may be time for a new router.

Wait! Floppies are dead? But...but...that means I am working in a graveyard! I am pretty sure that should be illegal.
Seriously though, floppies still have their use. A quick reliable way to boot an old machine up and run small utilities? Pass the 'dead' disk please!
All over Hyrule? All you need to do is put them in the water temple. That place was just cruel.
