You can deactivate that by hopping into settings, but I’d argue that it should be opt-in rather than on by default. Many users won’t get round to turning it off, even though they would probably want to.
I would argue that most of the people who have an issue with the default sync option are the ones that would know how to turn it off and would do it. Conversely, most of the people that would benefit from the sync, that being most of the users of Windows 10, would not know it exists and/or how to turn it on.
Microsoft had to choose whether to cater to the average user or the security conscious user that does not trust Microsoft. Microsoft chose the former.
The issue seems to be that while conventional surgery requires help from students robotic surgery does not. It becomes very difficult for a student to do part of the surgery and thereby learn by doing. A possible solution would be better simulations so that a student can learn by doing. I think it is a very different than working on a cadaver or simulated patient using conventional methods. The main one being that there is already a separation from the patient by the machine. Every image and feedback that the doctor gets through the robotic surgery device can be simulated by software. It can be programmed to simulate problems so the doctor has to deal with more realistic issues. In effect a flight simulator for surgery.
Sorry but we are not talking about open source. We are talking about a company with shareholders who are interested in revenue spending lots of money for no direct return. They most probably have a budget and are limited in what they can do.
How does making drivers so Linux games play better support research?
Yeah, running "apt get update" which breaks the install and requires a full rebuild of a web server is such a good idea for a OS. It happened to me. I have yet to do an install or upgrade on a Linux server that does not refer to packages that I do not have or which may be incomparable with packages I do have.
I use Linux only because I have to (IIS is even worse).
There's also the matter that current Linux users need to jump through hoops for now in getting the code into a working state with the latest kernel and forked versions...
You might want to get your facts straight. If you are talking about the breach in September 2014 he was stopped by secirity personnel not cleaning staff. If it is a different one, please provide a reference. That is how layered security works.
Being totally ineffective at stopping mentally disturbed individuals to fence jump into the WH's lawn.
The president was on the other side of the building boarding a helicopter and in no danger. The fence jumper was in view of at least one agent at all times. He was stopped long before he encountered any non-security personnel. Their other option was to shoot him when he jumped the fence and then the headline would have been "Secret Service Murders Mentally Ill Veteran". Yes, he should not have gotten into the building but he was stopped soon after. The layered security worked.
Letting armed ex felons ride the same elevator with the POTUS.
If you are talking about this you should know a few points. 1. While he had been arrested he was not convicted. 2. We do not know what the arrest was for. It could have been something non-violent. 3. He was a security guard for the CDC where the POTUS was visiting. He had therefore gone through the security screening of at least the CDC. 4. He only came to the attention of the Secret Service because he would not stop photographing the POTUS when asked. This guy was in no way a threat
I find it interesting that so many people refer to security getting in the way of productivity. What happens of all your security circumventions cause a breach that results in R&D being stolen, the system being hacked and customer personal information released, systems being taken down, etc. These can cause millions of dollars of loss. All your "producivity improvements" may be negated and much more by a breach caused by your failure to follow the rules. I think that the "my productivity is being harmed" people are too focused on their own job and refuse to see the big picture.
that's erased the minute one recycles the minerals.
That assumes that the recycling process is completely clean and retrieves 100% of the material. That is an assumption as you do not have the numbers. Many recycling processes use nasty solvents and lots of water. How do you know that the recycling process is not ten times as bad as oil extraction and only retrieves part of the material? You don't and I don't.
My ultimate point is that it is useless arguing based on assumptions. I want real numbers. Do a real cradle to grave analysis of both technologies and then we can have a valid discussion. Until then discussion is useless as whoever wants to make a point will select the numbers to use to "prove" their slanted view.
By the way, calling people names just shows you have a weak argument.
thus comparing the 2 lifecycles, batteries are "cleaner" overall.
Once one makes an assumption and subsequent comparisons are invalid.
why do we need to know the precise dirtiness, which is never going to be known
If mining for lithium and other battery components is much dirtier than extracting oil then overall batteries may still be dirtier even after recycling is taken into account.
"Suspect" is not good enough. You are also talking about different things. If you want comparisons with oil drilling sites try lithium mines. For oil spills try tailings pond disasters. You still will not get a complete picture
The whole point is that this study only looks at a small part of the comparison between electric and fossil fuel vehicles. To be accurate, the whole life cycle of the products must be compared and not just the parts that make your favorite look good.
I am ignoring nothing. I just gave an example of something missing in the analysis. My point is that any analysis that is incomplete unless it takes into account all aspects of an object. Did you even read my last statement?
This study only analyzes one part of the equation and is far from comprehensive. A full "cradle to grave" [wikipedia.org] analysis needs to be done.
I am advocating analyzing everything. It is too easy to skew a report by if one picks and chooses what to analyze.
Would you say the same thing about a print artist who didn't want black an white prints of his colour works sold? You seem to miss the point that he is specifically talking about selling or renting the music he created.
Do you see no difference between "streaming services are not good enough to sell or rent" and "my music is too good for streaming services"? The former is about the quality of the output. The latter is about the quality of the input. See the difference? He said the former, not the latter.
Here is the graph that should put this entire debate to rest. Even though the number of cell phones in use has skyrocketed since 1999 the incidence of brain cancer has not. If there was any causation one would expect an increase in brain cancer. That has not occurred. No correlation therefore no causation.
(please note that correlation can disprove causation but not prove causation)
OK so the Falcon 9 that has launched. Falcon 9 Leo payload 13,150 kg. ISRO LEO payload 1,440 kg. Ratio 9 to 1. So four Falcon 9's equals ISRO program.
India has had a ballistic missile program, which had help from the US, since the mid sixties. While not as advanced as the Apollo program they did not start from square one.
With the overall mass of five satellites being about 1,440 kg, this launch becomes the "heaviest commercial mission" ever undertaken by ISRO
Falcon heavy payload to LEO is 53,000 kg. So one Falcon Heavy can send more mass than 36 ISRO rockets. To put it another way, one Falcon Heavy has launched more mass that all launched ISRO rockets.
Seattle Police Department records show that "bias crimes" against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in the first half of 2014 had already outnumbered those for the whole of 2013.
This statement is meaningless as it gives no contect.
In the first half of 2014, the Seattle Police Department reported 21 crimes such as assault or vandalism against LGBT people, compared with 19 for all of 2013.
This statement is more helpful as it points out that there were and extremely low number of incidents in 2013. Doubling a very low number is not difficult. Another thing I just noticed is that these crimes may have nothing to do with hate against LGBT. Just because the victim is LGBT does not mean it is a hate crime.
Shouldn't they vet the situation more before deploying a military force?
If someone dies while the situation is being vetted, deployed, negotiated, etc the police will be blamed for not acting swiftly enough or with enough force.
The police are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

no it was update as I was trying to update for heartbleed.

Will investing hundreds of thousands of dollars supporting an OS with 1.6% of market share ever return a profit?
There's also the matter that current Linux users need to jump through hoops for now in getting the code into a working state with the latest kernel and forked versions ...
Seems the usual way Linux works.
