I know! what is with that? Every network show is either a completely over-the-top drama or a formulaic competition show.... That's it.
Add to that 20 minutes of commercials an hour and it boggles my mind why people do it...
There is something to be said about mindless channel surfing... that is one thing about streaming services that I miss.... But not so much that I would go back to it.
I think the bar here is not that there is a guarantee of zero defects.
The compliance "sticker" is issued after it is proven that certain guidelines have been followed in the manufacture of the product. If there are still issues and the product has followed these guidelines... then no problem. We just fix the guidelines for future products so when the manufacturer updates their spec or has to renew their license, they will be held to the new standards. Sort of like building codes.
It is obviously impossible for a building to be "fire proof" but that isn't the point of the regulations. The point is to have clear guidelines which minimize the possibility of fire based on past experience.
Yeah... because, as we all know, buying a genuine big name brand makes things completely safe... it would be impossible for anything Apple ever creates to catch fire or be unsafe in any way...
I get where you are coming from and I agree (much as I hate to admit it).
My problem is the FUD that Apple is spewing... I mean, really... electrocution? Yeah... it can happen... but it can happen with anything you plug into the wall... including cords actually made by Apple...
Yeah, same. I have been in the market for an Android phone for a while now. I was seriously considering a Samsung, Nexus or OnePlus. All of this stuff surrounding Samsung recently completely turned me off to them as an option.
I pulled the trigger yesterday and went with a OnePlus 3.
I seriously doubt this will happen, unless the costs for this type of DNA analysis comes way down.
I am sure it will come way down.
Many organizations drug screen and we have come to accept this (for some reason). Why would DNA testing be any different?
I see a very strong possibility that this will come to pass. The reason I say this is because any time something makes financial sense for a business to do, then it will become legal if enough of them throw money at it (which they will).
I am all for UBI if it can be implemented intelligently.
I am an able bodied guy and will continue to work. But I understand that there are others who are not as fortunate as me. I have no problem paying for their subsistence.
The only thing is, we have to do it well if we are going to do it right. Remove loopholes and incentivize productivity as much as possible.
But, I fear that something this radical is a non-starter for a lot of reasons, not least of which is because it is the much feared socialism which every Mercan knows is synonymous with evil...
ICANN has always been an international body. NTIA managed IANA under contract. However, that contract was allowed to lapse. ICANN was not "transferred".
I am of the same opinion. I really think that Trump loves to be the center of attention and this has probably got to be about the ultimate high for the guy. So many people with Trump on their lips and in their minds.... I am sure he is loving every minute of it. But I don't think that even Trump expects to be president. It would be serendipitous, of course, but I don't think he cares that much. POTUS is a hard and thankless job... I don't see him as the type of guy who would thrive in that kind of environment.
He is kind of set either way though. If he does win (he won't) he will be POTUS and guaranteed to be in the limelight whenever he opens his mouth. But the runner up position is just as good or probably a lot better given the freedom he will have (won't be locked away by secret service and monitored/policed 24/7). He will be given exclusive pundit status as well as even more business opportunities due to notoriety, going forward.
Let the protesters protest. If they just took an indifferent approach, I don't think there would be any kind of a problem outside of local politics. People have a short attention span. A month down the road and people would be like 'what pipeline? oh yeah... how'd that turn out anyway?'. Instead, they have tapped in to the outrage machine of big government trying to gag the little guy.... that is a much more dangerous nerve to tread on....
Well... if you would have made a break for the bathroom instead of making a post on the Internet... I am thinking that things might have worked out better for you.
Ever since at least 2007, it seems like all of the new admin GUIs on Windows are really just a wrapper around PowerShell commands.
This makes me think that CLI is the primary focus and has been for a while now.
As a matter of fact, even before 2007, to do anything truly advanced, you had to resort to the CLI... it is just that the CLI tools were all discrete and were only as good as the team that created them. Now they are all being unified under PowerShell.
PowerShell is very capable and actually fun to script with. I am saying this as a Perl guy. I find a lot of similarities between the two of them actually, which I am sure is no coincidence.
To me, it sounds like your attitude is a relic from a different time and you are using old information to maintain you prejudices.
The problem with pirating is you have to be pretty technical to not only find and download your copies but also savvy enough to avoid malware. How many times will a non-techy have to be burned by a pwnd system that they have to then spend hundreds on either repairing or replacing before they decide that it isn't worth the risk? I am guessing once.

Oh whatever you snobs.
Budweiser is a good beer.
Every microbrewery seems to think that massive amounts of hops is the only way to make a beer. I am sick of it.
Give me a good old American pale ale any day.

Me too. I recently discovered Midsomer Murders on Netflix... It's a fun detective show and there are 18 untapped seasons!
Faster, better, stronger!! For today's gig economy! Accept no alternatives!
There is no problem with giving them an IP... it's giving them a default gateway that can reach the Internet that is the problem here.

That was pretty good. I also would never have come across this unless Samsung cried about it.
What a bunch of whiners. They make a faulty product then get mad when people poke fun.
You could use my dialing wand.... oh wait... wrong franchise...
Would MAC spoofing count as ID theft in this case?
I seriously doubt this will happen, unless the costs for this type of DNA analysis comes way down.

I feel very similarly.
Let the protesters protest. If they just took an indifferent approach, I don't think there would be any kind of a problem outside of local politics. People have a short attention span.

I actually run 7z.exe from one of my powershell scripts.... no problem... is it not supposed to work?
Suicide. The last bastion of the desperate. I almost feel sorry for him.
It sure would be a shame if something were to happen to this fancy embassy of yours....
As a developer, I honestly don't see the use case here
These tools are not for you. They are for devops in cloud environments so that they can use the same tools across the board regardless of kernel.
The problem with pirating is you have to be pretty technical to not only find and download your copies but also savvy enough to avoid malware.
