I have a Microsoft Lumia phone. The only non-Microsoft app I have purchased is a podcast app. Other than that, I just have Netflix and Kindle apps. That's all I really need.
I use an old Android 2 device for an alarm clock. Old phones make the perfect alarm clock because even if the power goes out, it can last for a day on battery.
You are right though, my Lumia does make a better alarm clock... but I like having a dedicated device for that purpose.
I would print out the e-mail, annotate with a red pen and write F- with a frowny face at the top. Then scan it and send it back with a copy to his parents.
On the other side of the coin, I think that everyone has a right to control their own image and content. What may make sense at one phase of your life may not make sense later on.
People change as they get older. Someone should not have to live the rest of their lives paying for a single mistake.
I know that it is not a popular view point, but I do support the "right to be forgotten".
I don't think it is impossible to achieve either. Sure, once out in the public domain, it will never be fully erased. But that isn't the point. All that needs to be achieved is for search engines to stop indexing that content. That's really all this is about. People will still be able to privately host the stuff and there will be legal routes the content owner can pursue to remove that stuff, but for the majority of the population, the person will not exist because it won't come up in a search.
Sure, you will never remove it from individual hard drives, but that doesn't mean you can't remove it from being shared on the Internet.
I get that it may go underground and shared p2p but if you remove it from major public web sites, it is effectively gone as far as the main stream public is concerned.
I feel compelled to share my favorite episode: Better Than Life
I find Arnold Rimmer's plight in that episode to be absolutely hilarious. He can have anything he wants, simply by thinking of it.... and he ends up buried up to his neck in the ground with fire ants crawling all over his head.
The capacity for self sabotage is infinitely funny to me because it is my MO...
We already have a large group of people we can use for this study. Please who take the bus or train to work every morning.
I and many others are idle for an hour or more while someone else drives us to/from work every day. There is even free wifi on the bus I use. Yet I don't do any work and nobody expects me to...
Not sure if the quality is still there, but my Blue Ant X5 Bluetooth headphones have lasted almost 10 years of continuous use (I bought then around 2007). They are one of the longest lasting piece of electronic gear I have ever owned. They still sound great. I have paired them with dozens of devices. I wear them when I work out, ride the bus, bike ride, walk, etc. They have been through rain and snow and they are still on their original batteries (though I have had to file the corrosion off the copper contacts many times over the years).
I remember getting ad-free Internet access via Juno's free dial-up service by simply using Ethereal (pre-wireshark) to catch the obfuscated username and password sent in the PPP handshake.
I added those credentials to a PPP profile on my Slackware Linux box and used it as a router for my internal network. It would automatically dial up any time someone in the house would attempt to make an Internet connection.
Unless the attack is the type that uses perfectly normal HTTP GETs (or other expected traffic)... just from 10,000,000 sources at once... Like an old fashioned/.ing, only bigger. There is no defense against something like that other than to throttle all HTTP (or whatever) connections... but that ends up achieving the goal of the attacker anyway.
This has been demonstrated already by the Chinese government by altering unencrypted HTTP traffic to add a bit of javascript to sessions inbound to the country so that regular browsers would make a connection to the target site.
You are probably being sarcastic, but I don't think you are actually wrong.
I think that most people have the same level intelligence. Just not the same motivation and/or confidence level.
There are plenty of truckers that I have met that are just doing it for the money and because it is relatively easy (depending on who they work for, of course).
If they were forced to get a different job, they definitely could.

Weird, I still have the Kindle app installed on my Windows 10 phone. I just delivered a book to it yesterday.... so clearly it is still working...
I would probably fall into that category.

No, that is too obvious and, frankly, too plain.
We need a name that doesn't make any sense... a nonsense name... I don't know... shooting from the hip here... how about Big Game Animal Hunt...

Red Dwarf is one of my favourite shows, ever.
Mine too.
My computer naming convention has been RD characters for as long as I can remember.
My main computer is always named "Ace".... What a guy!

No, that would never fly. That is taking the Christ out of Christian...

Yeah because typing an extra "t" is so hard to do on an touch keyboard....
Who said anything about going to pen and paper? Just unplug the WAN port...
Oh wait... the cloud... I forgot...

I run Linux on my personal laptop. Always have. My gaming rig runs Windows 10 and is perfectly fine; It runs like a top.
Operating systems are just tools, use whatever makes the most sense for the job.
This happened to me at one point. I was using an insider build and was on the fast update ring.
I had to do a clean install. I went back to the stable build when I did that.
Until they block any encrypted traffic at the border...
But robots won't get paid! robot rights!
I love how they call them engineers...
I am guessing that they are the lowest paid "engineers" ever...
Want to use the municipal wifi? well, here's your DNS servers (no, you can't change them! Why would you even ask that citizen?)
I thought that 8.8.8.8 was the "primary" and 8.8.4.4 was the "backup" (both being Google's public DNS servers)
I could be wrong.
