Or at the very least it would need to come with a significant enough processor jump that no one notices the drop in responsiveness from any earlier device.
Depends on whether the SoC can do AES-encryption/-decryption in hardware or not. Your Nexus 5 does it in software, ARMv8 (ARM64) includes optional support for H/W-accelerated AES. It's unlikely that low-to-mid-end phones will be sporting ARMv8 SoCs anytime soon, but it'll happen eventually, and higher-end phones are already starting to move to it.
The issue with FDE in Android has for long been the lack of combining strong passwords with a pattern lock or pin lock for unlocking the screen. In other words, your encryption key is only as strong as the pin code or password you are willing to put in every time you open your screen lock.
No, it doesn't. At least in Lollipop FDE-password is separate and you enter it at boot.
As a Finn I disagree with that notion. Only public saunas are gender-specific. Nearly everywhere else where people who know everyone go to sauna regardless of sex, and this includes adults and children, too.
There really has to be some sanity here: the weapon must be able to cause grievous bodily harm in order to justify heavy sentences. A BB gun doesn't qualify
You can surely find a lot more googling a little. I also recommend taking a look at Google image-search. The thing is, if you shoot someone in the head with a BB-gun there actually is quite a risk of bodily harm (torn eyes etc.) and loss of life. They're unlikely to kill you if you fire them somewhere other than the head, but they certainly are dangerous items and they can still cause damage to internal organs, depending where the shot lands and its angle. I have a BB-gun that's capable of easily piercing an aluminum can and I certainly wouldn't want to be on the wrong end of the barrel.
Software can't be made secure afterwards, it must be the the primary goal.
That's bullshit. Software can definitely be made secure afterwards even if it wasn't that to begin with, there is no other obstacle to that than manpower and time. Also, security being a primary goal does not guarantee that there won't be bugs, so again, that makes that saying utterly ignorant. Bugs, by very definition, are accidental issues, not designed-in features, and no amount of "primary goals" will guarantee that mistakes and accidents won't happen.
If the user overclocks their GPU and it ends up overheating and breaking down isn't the responsibility for that on the user's shoulders? Why does NVidia care so much? Does the law somewhere state that NVidia is still responsible for the damages since their drivers have such an option or what is missing from this story? If some law somewhere did state that then I could totally understand NVidia's stance, but at the same time it would make me wonder why it doesn't apply to desktops, then.
You'll need a quite beefy computer for SVP and you need to have the SVP Manager running whenever you want to see videos in 60 fps, the website or the installer doesn't make it clear enough IMHO, so I thought to mention. The included MPC-HC works great for watching stuff and I can bet you'll see the difference, but oddly enough the installer doesn't create a shortcut for MPC-HC, you need to find it in the installation folder and create a shortcut for it manually. I hope this gets you going and hooked to high-framerate videos:)
Personally, I would like to see them add frame-interpolation to VLC. There is Smooth Video Project that can be used with several other players and you could use it even with XBMC, though I don't know if it works with Kodi anymore, but SVP doesn't work with VLC. I really do enjoy watching videos in 60 fps, it's like a night and day compared to the usual 23.976 or 25 fps, even if it's just interpolated.
Many of the people whose stories I read only "wronged" the customer support by wanting to reduce their bill, like e.g. cutting out cable-TV from the package. Does that make them assholes or deserving of this kind of thing in your mind?
How low will they set the datacaps? What good will 1000mbps be if you hit the ceiling immediately? And how many people does have to be online simultaneously before everyone gets throttled to 512kbps?
I took a look at Alibaba once, searching for GPUs. There were literally hundreds -- if not thousands -- of fake GPUs there, what with someone selling a GTX 980 for $100 and stuff like that. The one, most obvious thing about these being scams was that the cards came with VGA-ports; no modern high-end GPU has in years had a VGA-port in them. Taking some of the images and using Google's image search often reveals it to actually be a Geforce 7800 or 9800 with just modified firmware.
Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if there was any actually legitimate products there at all. I at least can't recall seeing any.
Or maybe people just used the term "embedded" previously and are now using "IoT" because of it being fashionable and are hoping for more money? You know, people do like to hop on whatever trend is currently getting lots of attention, even if it just means relabeling what you already have..
You're right. I focused on what he's actually done for Valve which is make a gamblers economy which is eerily similar to what John Law did.
No, you foolishly assume that it was all his decisions and that he actually wielded so much power in the company as to be able to steer its direction as he wishes all the while ignoring the fact that he only joined Valve in 2012 when the company was already very much doing what they are doing now.
I know it's fashionable to jump on the Valve-hating-bandwagon, but would it be too much of an effort to, you know, not follow the flock and use some common sense instead? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... lists a lot of reasons for why he seems like a good person for this, like e.g. the following exerpt on his academic career:
After training in mathematics and statistics, Varoufakis received his economics doctorate in 1987 at the University of Essex. Before that he had already begun teaching economics and econometrics at the University of Essex and the University of East Anglia. In 1988 he spent a year as a Fellow at the University of Cambridge. From 1989 until 2000 he taught as Senior Lecturer in Economics at the Department of Economics of the University of Sydney. In 2000 he moved to his native Greece where he is still Professor of Economic Theory at the University of Athens (currently on leave). In 2002 Varoufakis established The University of Athens Doctoral Program in Economics (UADPhilEcon), which he directed until 2008. Since January 2013 he has been teaching at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin.
This guy has written several books, he appears as guest analyst for news media like the BBC, CNN, Sky News, Russia Today and Bloomberg TV and he seems to be quite well-respected everywhere. But no, you just focus on the fact that he also happens to work for Valve.
"the service will offer unlimited data, talking and texting" -- Unlimited data. Notice that bit there? I have no idea how fast it is or anything, but last I heard nearly all carriers in the US have ridiculously low datacaps.
I'm not sure that WhatsApp has a leg to stand on as reverse engineering is allowed, and could be opening themselves up to legal action.
Companies providing an online service are perfectly within their legal rights to deny users of 3rd-party applications, it has nothing to do with reverse-engineering. They can't deny you from reverse-engineering stuff and using that stuff on your own, but they can deny you access to their services, then.
Me, I don't really like watching other people play, per se, but every now and then I stumble upon a game on Steam that looks interesting and then just with a few click of the mouse I can actually check out what it looks like when being played for real. I find that pretty great.
Personally, I think it's actually pretty swell. I have a Core 2 Duo T7500 - laptop serving as a small-time server at home and compared to that this AMD E1 Micro-6200T provides 75% of the performance at ~11% power-consumption! Of course, compared to desktop CPUs it's going to suck ass, but hell, would it be fair to compare a Pinto to a Ferrari and complain about the performance?
I have a Facebook-account due to family, but I make maybe one post a year there and I never like anything whatsoever. What does such an algorithm tell about me? I mean, it sounds to me like the algorithm is already biased towards certain kind of people from the get-go if it only applies to socially-outwards people who enjoy "liking" stuff on Facebook.

To be quite frank, that Soylent-thing doesn't look any better.

I have a friend who has basically killed two laptops overclocking them, he then takes them back and demands they are faulty
Your friend is kind of a selfish dick.

Oh God, why?
Because to my eye movies and TV-shows looks a whole lot better and more enjoyable in high framerates, granting a much smoother movement to everything.

I don't think we need more, and we should be scaling back JS with the goal of obsoleting it.

Let's not start pretending that economists actually know anything about the economy.
Let's not start pretending that you actually know anything about economists or economy. Sounds much more like ignorance and axe-grinding to me.
