Not really, all they would do is ask Amazon where they need to get a warrant for, and then serve Amazon with said warrant, which Amazon will happily comply with.
The article itself notes that anyone under active investigation. The summation of the/. post seems to leave that out, making it sound like anyone using TOR or similar would be a potential target of FBI hacking as it would be assumed they would be criminals. That is how I read the summation.
The article says no such thing, rather it says that for people under investigation, when a warrant would have been issued under normal circumstances, if they are using anonymity software, then the FBI can still apply for a warrant, but the jurisdiction issue would be less of an issue.
I am okay with this. However, it is a double edged sword, while the FBI as a whole probably has good intentions, it is the individuals within who tend to abuse their powers, and I see this entire process ripe for abuse.
A firewall is irrelevant. Most of the malware used is not pushed remotely through a backdoor, rather by tricking the user into installing it, phishing, or through web sites that exploit holes in the machine being used. Your firewall will not do anything to stop this. Unless you are running some sort of proxy that scans for malware (assuming it is not a zero day or undisclosed and unpatched vulnerability). Most are not.
The XLERATOR's terrify my 3 year old.. They are super loud.. then again.. most hand dryers scare him.. yet he has no problem with vacuum cleaners... (he likes to push them around).
I disagree.. I have a Dyson vacuum cleaner.. I also have 2 dogs (Great Dane and Dalmatian), and at 1 point 4 cats (although down to 1 now). In that time, I have gone through 4 Vacuums, the Dyson was the last I purchased, and has been flawless ever since. It is not even the Animal version of the Dyson. Couple of small parts have broken here and there, but were easily replaceable.
Maybe your sister just had bad luck. Mine has lasted almost 10 years now.
As for the hairdryer.. I am a guy who used to have ass length hair.. and even I would not purchase the Dyson hairdryer... As others have said, that is a solution looking for a problem.
Actually, $50 is perfectly reasonable. Just because you do not like movies, does not mean many others do not find them entertaining.
A typical family will easily spend over $50 to see a movie in the theater, when you take into account concessions and ticket cost, parking. Double that if you need a baby sitter so that you and your spouse could go out to dinner and a movie. Quadruple that if it is a family movie and you want to take your kids.
So no, $50 is not unreasonable, especially you split the cost with friends.
This is also geared towards people who many not have gone to the movies to begin with and would have waited for the DVD or download to be released.
Me, I actually enjoy the theater experience, maybe I am just weird, who knows, but the last movie I took my toddler too (Deadpool.. just kidding), Minions Movie, and lets just say it was not a pleasant experience (at least it was for a birthday party and the theater was rented out for the group, so it was a ton of toddlers and everyone was understanding)
Although, there have been documented instances where the feds meddled in things, like Dual_EC_DRBG.... So lets not assume the governments hands are completely clean.. but in this case, yeah the feds had no involvement.
This is incorrect. The phone does not store the key anywhere. The key is made up of the phones unique identifier value, and your pin, combined to make the key. What they can do is use acid, high powered visual equipment and lasers to try to determine the unique identifier from the iPhones CPU, and then try to brute force that with various pin numbers.
I would agree here. However, I think it requires a multi pronged attach approach. If my memory serves me, a few years back ATT Wireless was being sued by both the FTC and the FCC for the same thing (related to their unlimited data plans). They went to court and tried to have the suits dismissed playing each group against each other. FTC vs ATT - ATT Claimed they were being investigated and sued by the FCC and requested a dismissal. FCC vs ATT - ATT claimed they were being investigated and sued by the FTC, and requested a dismissal.
They will lie cheat and steal, and do whatever they want, as long as the money keeps flowing into politicians pockets, nothing will ever change.
I cannot believe you seriously posted that. Not everyone has such a short commute. Not everyone has such a short commute on roads that are safe enough to cycle on. Not everyone has such a short commute at times of days when it is light out (brings back to safety point, and lights help a little, but not enough).
It must be nice to live in that world of yours where everything turns out just peachy for you. For the rest of us, we have to own a car. (well not everyone, but many of us).
FYI, I have no issues cycling 10 miles, in fact, I have no issues cycling 100 miles at a time... as I am a cyclist (both road and mountain), so if I could cycle to work, I would.
Wow.. don't often see members older than me:) Been around long enough and seen many transitions.. hopefully this will be better. While I still frequent/. daily, my participation in the threads has been limited for many years now.
There have always been bans on flying RC planes in the Area. There area a number of parks designated specifically for RC planes, and tracks for RC cars.
What I would be more curious to know is if there is an exemption for the flying of drones at the RC airplane field as it falls within the no fly zone.
There definition of unlimited is you can do with it as you please, as in there is no limit to what you can do. However, how much you can consume, well that's limited in the small print.
The reality is, unlimited became more mainstream with the ATT and Apple partnership when the first iphone came out.. They are probably kicking themselves for that.
The carriers see the writing on the wall. If they implement caps later once users are consuming the additional data, they would have to create a much higher cap as the avg will be significantly higher at that point in time. Instead, they implement lower caps now when the majority of the population don't come close, so that when the avg use does go up to consume 4k and 8k video, and whatever else the innovators come up with, now the avg user is exceeding the cap and they are forced to pay for the overages, or pay for a higher capped plan.
It is al about profits, this has never been about network management or congestion (although I will agree, on wireless, there may be congestion issues, but then don't try to cap or throttle unlimited accounts in an area when those who pay for the capped plans don't get throttled at the same time in those same areas... it's not like the additional profit will reduce the congestion)
Garmins support is also excellent. They are known to warranty for a small fee devices that are way past their warranty end date. Depends on the circumstances, but there is no harm in trying.
Most organized sporting events (marathons and bike races at least) ban headphones.
So while great for training, they are worthless for the event. Some people rely on music for motivation, which is fine, but I would suggest you get used to it without.
And when training, keep only one ear bud in, I cannot tell you how many runners did not hear me yelling on your left to pass and then they get frightened and pissed when I do pass. sennheiser make decent sports earbuds.
And I suspect you got a lemon Garmin. I used to use the forerunner 300 I used before I got my edge 810. The 300 lasted me a good 8 hours. The 810 lasts me about 5 hours when I used live tracking (paired to phone provides realtime tracking for family or friends, good for long solo rides for safety).
Maybe if the education system here took their heads out of their asses, it would not matter which text book was used for a particular subject. As long as the student learns the base material on how to resolve the questions asked of them during their exams, the book should be irrelevant.
They are not supposed to be teaching kids how to parrot a book to pass a test.
The problem is that the text book and testing industry have such an incestuous relationship, and their collective hands are so far up the asses of those educational leadership, that it is too lucrative not to force students to buy expensive books that are useless after a single year. Hey, we changed 2 words in this math book which has 200 year old source material, lets make every student purchase a new book instead of used.
It's total bullshit, it is not like the text book industry is coming up with original content, rather they are just reusing what has been around for 1000's of years (depending on the subject of course).
I guess it depends on your perspective. I loved the majority of them. Granted I was an early teen when I read them... Maybe if I read them now that I am 40.. things will be different.
My guess, based on my knowledge of regulatory requirements, is that the profile itself was actually deleted, however financial transactions all have a data retention requirement, 7 years or 5 years, I forget. So forcing men to pay to delete, results in the data about his profile being deleted, but that financial transaction tied to that process had to be kept.

My guess would be... you don't get a second chance.. if you fuckup.. it's dead. And acid is not exactly the most predictable thing to work with.
