perhaps WU does not adequately train their employees to recognize fraud.
That in itself is problematic. How many WU employees are the ones at the counter selling the service in the US? Usually its the supermarket customer service desk or quick mart employees, not WU employees.
unless, of course, you manage to get a majority of the people to record it incorrectly... but gee, that's impossible, right?
I do hope you're being sarcastic; it's easy to imagine an implementation of replication with a security hole that allows a falsified entry to propagate to all the nodes quickly and efficiently.
It may work eventually, but it's a boondoggle for construction companies and mayors/governors.
So I must have been just dreaming when I thought I remembered zipping from London to Paris in just over two hours and sending emails from under the Atlantic seabed.
Your response is strange; the article and the GP are about cost overruns not whether the project is completed or not. The Chunnel did indeed overrun by about 80%.
Electronics compare poorly with women's purses in the subject of counterfeiting. How many fake Gucci handbags didn't impress friends with the owner's level of chic is harder to measure than how many 1TB thumb drives don't actually hold 1TB.
That's because the best counterfeits are sold out of the third shift run of the same factory that makes the authentic ones on first and second shift. The line between fake and counterfeit gets really hard to draw in those cases.
Sorry, the author assumed the readers could do their own math; providing this figure is supposed to convey that almost 1% of the city's population gets a banana per day from this program.
pay your taxes, goverment funds/employees the poor, poor buys their own bananas
For the government take over this project there would be: banana tax forms, banana accountants, banana tax enforcement agents, the office of banana procurement (with a nice office building in DC), the office of banana distribution (with a nice office building in DC), a Congressional banana oversight committee complete with budget for banana inspection tours, the president's special banana adviser.... ok, these jokes almost write themselves. Anyway you get the idea. Or Amazon can do it themselves and pay a wee bit less dividends to shareholders.
As to camera design/manufacturing - isn't it, that most, if not all, of them now have very similar genes of Japanese precision R&D, followed by more economic Asian manufacturing?
Consumer cameras are made in China but professional cameras and lenses are made in Japan and Germany.
It's great for Kodak that management has been able to bring it back out of bankruptcy; my main point is that they might not have had to go through that if management had been more flexible in their thinking as film business declined.
History is full of failed companies whose management got stuck in "we are an x company" mentality instead of "we are a company". Even if they were a film and chemical company they should have adapted. Canon and Nikon could just as easily have been stuck in "we are a film camera company" mode but they didn't.
Heck, look at the size of the thing; looks like a great way to stress the socket when hanging off a desktop or stress the socket the opposite direction on any reasonably thin laptop as it props up the system.
...based on the prior comments. Watership Down is a fine work even though it was made into a mediocre animated feature. And Maia is not just about a slave girl, it's about a sex slave girl. It's the sort of thing more people on here probably like to read, if only they knew how.
Actually the problem stems from skipping 6. So yes, the next Note will be the 6 as it ought to have been. Then they can jump to 8 after that because there's already been a 7.
It even says right there in the summary that the color changes will help helpdesk triage customers. When some non-technical user calls to complain they can more easily report "the screen is blue" or "the screen is green" than to relay a long string of error codes. So, yes, they should have thought about when a non-technical customer says "I'm blue-green colorblind!"
Who is the dipshit with the snarky un-thought through answer, exactly?

Not far away? Heck, there are already items that default to 'subscribe and save!' where the unwary will get a new shipment every n months.

Cuba will reform now that Castro is dead. Slowly but surely.
You mean like North Korea is slowly but surely reforming since Kim 1st died?

Now his nightmare begins; trying to get a replacement from the school he works for and not getting charged for breaking it.
It's great for Kodak that management has been able to bring it back out of bankruptcy; my main point is that they might not have had to go through that if management had been more flexible in their thinking as film business declined.
Kodak's engineers came up with those things but upper management was entirely arrogant in the "digital will never replace film" mentality.
History is full of failed companies whose management got stuck in "we are an x company" mentality instead of "we are a company". Even if they were a film and chemical company they should have adapted. Canon and Nikon could just as easily have been stuck in "we are a film camera company" mode but they didn't.
Instead of welfare, we should just give all the unemployed computers for Bitcoin mining.
I'll vote for this if said computers are powered by exercise bikes and treadmills.

The Norton Core comes in titanium gold and granite gray.
They should at least keep the different-same theme going and use "granite marble".
For a wild time, pack all that up and move to one of those towns where all the people live who claim to be allergic to WiFi.

The preview feature here didn't start until way after Twitter was even founded so my timeline is still correct. :/
I gave up wishing for an edit feature here before Twitter was even founded.
There is no blue-green colorblindess. It's either red-green or blue-yellow.
Whoever told you that was mistaken and you never bothered to check.
