I have a feeling we'll be folding dimensions, poking holes in them and making new ones by time we understand how to break the laws of the one we're in. And then only to realize now that we've figured it all out why the hell would we want to figure out what else is in ours. Take out our trash and poof we're gone.
Apple has a good handle on their vertical, from hardware to content. Google is just beginning its jump into the hardware portion. I imagine this is just another rung in the ladder from the bottom to the top, control all the way.
From TFA:
DePetrillo used open-source PBX software to spoof the outgoing caller ID and then automated phone calls to himself, triggering the system to force a name lookup.
I thought spoofing caller ID was now illegal...
Even if a bunch of people don't like it, the two parties in the case obviously came to this conclusion. I also have to admit that if it is their service they can do whatever they well please with it, obviously they need to state that when you buy the service, which I'm sure they will now. I hate the fact ISP's don't have enough competition as the next person, my only hope is that if a company does begin throttling demand for another service will increase, as demand increases... supply increases in the form of another ISP. I know personally I've been stuck with one cable company for a long time, but just recently recieved a letter form a local phone coop asking if they can lay fiber to my house for internet and tv service. Hell yes I said... it's just going to take time.. but I have faith a free market system will work it out.
All the talk of being asked to remove content made me wonder if they're simply removing it from public access and are keeping this information somewhere? If they don't destroy it and court ordered removed information gets out at some future point could Google be held liable?
With the shit to more interactions with computer hardware, graphics card acceleration, offloading processing of certain code to the CPU I see this trend continuing but what impact is this going to have on system security. As more hooks go from the web into our computer hardware aren't we exposing ourselves to more and more risk?
Just like government services, half the people expect everything for free, the other half foot the bill. Pirates are just following the example their society has laid out for them.
While experimenting with Toyota brakes NASA inadvertently opened a wormhole to the days of George Washington. After bringing him to present day America, handing him a fine for his late books he jumped back through the wormhole and promptly paid his two day late fee. With the magic of compound interest over the years the repayment of the fee solved the present day national debt crisis the was threatening to destroy the nation. Thanks George you saved us again!
When platter HD's were coming out we didn't have much of an alternative to look at, today Solid State drives have a well established competitor. As TFA states, people benefiting from these drives are a niche, the general person spending all day on facebook, youtube doesn't really see any benefit from spending extra money on a SSD. And when people do even care about performance.. well it's coming at a hefty price. I build my own pc's but while I'd like a SSD I'd rather spend the extra 100's of dollars on a much superior CPU and/or RAM that that money could spent on. Prices will take a long time to come down imo because the demand simply isn't there to push it forward. The mass majority of the marketplace just don't store MASSIVE files that need super fast access.
The methane from the digestion that poroduce can start their crap on fire. All we need is a little midget to manage it all.... let's call him Master...
Funny, I'd comment alcohol is a soft drug?
LSD and pot are not addictive.
LSD unlike alcohol enhances mental capacity unlike alcohol that horribly hinders higher thinking.
If quiet, uninterrupted and sleeping peacefully (coding something interesting/challenging) I could go easily for 8 hours or more. However if you interrupt me, and this could be a meeting, lunch or even a visit form a coworker it can knock me out of my coding (wake me up) and it's usually going to take me some period of time to get back into the flow of it all. The longer the interruption usually the longer it takes for me to get back into it. Caffeine and other Nootropics can contribute to to length and motivation to get back to work.
I'm curious what makes this company different or the protest different from other instances of the same wholesale of userbase information to any bidder. Is Facebook going to respond like this to user protests when they sell off their user information? Google? Is there anything we can learn form this circumstance that will allow a userbase to better deal with mischevious company practices?
GPotato's game Allod's Online does quite an excellent job of filling in for WoW in the Free 2 Play market. And with many successful games already under their belt you can be assured they understand their market they're not a subscription game like DDO who found out they were going broke and are trying anything to stay alive.
I dare WoW players to log into Allod's Online and play through the tutorial area and not wonder why the hell they're paying $15 every month for WoW. And I had 3 70's in WoW and now a 40 in Allod's for reference.
If you don't want the feature removed, don't do the update. If you do the update you agree to all that text that they show you that you hit right on your controller to bypass.
It's too bad they couldn't have sent one up to them on the ISS, they could have used it to take pict... they could have twittered from... they could have at least used it to... hmmm

Where is Steve going to draw the line... Netflix might have some movies on the edge, or tv shows. What's next?

-2 troll for a joke on a stupid article? Fast = impatient, Slow = patient. Perhaps my OS is broken.

This is why I'm a carnivore, I don't believe in the senseless killing of millions of plants when I can kill just a few animals instead.

Obviously it's infected with some virus.
At least someone made money from your business
I assume this is a form of wire fraud, international at that.
