Make an example out of them, at the very least. I doubt MCS or CNNIC will do anything to disengage themselves from the Chinese government (Most likely culprit here). Revoke their authority and put an end to this nonsense.
Musk is promoting the use of LiOn batteries because the more they make, the cheaper they get (to a point). It's about scaling up the industry as fast and as much as possible.
Flywheel systems make more sense for power grid applications, but only marginally, and only for the specific engineering. In other words, it makes tactical sense, but Musk is in this for the long run, which requires strategic planning. These microgrids provide the quickest way to sell a lot of batteries, far more than he's selling in Tesla cars.
If his production costs come way down, so does the cost of his cars... and microgrids... and so forth. Obviously, there is a point where mass production no longer offers any savings, but we are still a LONG way from there where these battery technologies are concerned.
Well, looks like qBitTorrent supports the proxy service.
I would consider using VPN, but I already have a proxy service and setting up VPN to only run for the torrent on a (relatively) headless Linux box introduces some complications, like being able to administer it over the web.
I understand the reasoning that removed proxy support from the more popular torrent clients a while back, even if it was incredibly and mindblowingly dumb and naive.
I see nothing about mobile development for Source 2 in the announcement - Only desktop PC systems mentioned (Windows/OSX/Linux). Oddly enough, not even Xbox or Playstation is mentioned.
Yeah, I've whittled my paper library down to a little more than a bookshelf, everything else electronic. I'm tired of piles of magazines and technical books, likewise, all the odd-sized science fiction books I read strewn about.
My tablet is handy, and when I finish one book or magazine, I have a selection from which to choose something new wherever I might be.
As references, my technical books are far easier to pull up on my PC, and as a bonus, quickly searchable, even when the subject isn't in the index.
Sounds like a plot to a classic 70s TV movie or an episode of one of those anthology shows. Got to have the protagonist cupping his ears, with a look of severe distress as non-stop quick shots of things making innocuous noises flash, interjected by the camera wildly pan-zooming his face.
How has their position changed? Nuclear was their primary focus as an energy source in 1990, and is still a part of the strategy to move away from fossil fuels, the only shift is that other renewable energy source have grown more viable.
Prime thing, though, they need to offer a small selection of electronics.
RadioShack dabbled in Enthusiast PC hardware, but gave up on it. I found them to be fairly priced for getting stuff I needed "now"
The business model needs to change, but RS was unwilling to be more than just another wireless retailer with a few toys and electronics added in the mix. If you have a B&M footprint, you have to give consumers a reason to come in. Providing goods that people usually can't wait for 3 days to get, or offering some sort of technical training for all the new tech, as well as easier returns (or pickup) for mail order goods is a start.
Maybe a "tech of the month" display to show people what they won't see at Best Buy or Walmart, but can order through a kiosk on site after checking it out. Many consumers still like the personal treatment when buying big ticket items, but they don't like paying a premium, or dealing with clueless stockers when they have a question.
Geez, 30 years ago we were given a demonstration of snooping on non-Tempest equipment, with a van parked outside of our offices, showing keystrokes and fuzzy images of our monitors.
When I went to work at the RASC at Camp Kinser, just north of Naha (The mainframes were all housed in a building on the south side of the base, closest to the piers), there was always one or two Soviet "Fishing" vessels docked, with all sorts of crazy antennas (directional ones pointed at Camp Kinser), satellite dishes and such.
This is really, really old news. I've heard of far more exotic wireless, remote listening stuff, from phreaking sources back in the day, but I'm not sure that stuff has even been declassified yet.
Pascal was my first procedural language, after spending a year with BASIC on PET computers in the classroom (1982). We used TurboPascal on CP/M, and it allowed me to start writing serious software, as act as a gateway to C and later C++.
Today? I'd probably want to start a new student with C# or Java, but the concepts working with C and Pascal are more relevant to understanding the underlying mechanics of compiling code and coding "closer to the metal".
On the other hand, early BASIC was probably an easier transition to Assembler (who codes in that any more, though?).
Argh. After they say they are calling in regards to my card ending in "...1234" I ask them to identify the bank, at which point they balk.
Likewise, when scammers call me up about my [insert model year] [insert make] [insert model] and how my warranty is up, I ask them to name my warranty company (I know the exact terms and the company, having dealt with them a few times already), to which they have no answer. The last one got angry and hung up after I lectured her on scamming people.
As far as I'm concerned, I fully support the use of our Predator Drone program to identify, locate, and destroy these call centers (who are most certainly not calling from anywhere in the US, let alone near the area code spoofed on my caller id)
The later, obviously. And "I can think of no better way to describe our failure to drop support for the Dual_EC_DRBG algorithm as anything other than regrettable" What about "criminal"?
I think the proper word is "Treasonous"
In the DoD, the NSA-backed algorithms have been used without question, and in creating a backdoor'd generator, they've compromised our national security.
I'm glad her tumor was not inside her eye.... I've lost most of the vision in my right eye after radiation treatment for a tumor inside the eye. My Ocular Oncologist did extensive drawings of my retina and the tumor. I'm not sure MRI technology could have mapped it out well enough to make a reliable model. I also had to deal with the fun of having an ultrasound probe run over the surface of my eye to get a better idea of the size of the tumor. That was 4 years ago, and luckily, the ocular melanoma had not metastasized.
It's amazing how fine, delicate, almost microscopic work can be done these days.

Banish it as an anachronism of the failed imperialist feudal system.

I'd run my torrents exclusively on one of my Linux boxes, but none of the clients support proxies. WTF?
It doesn't matter what I'm downloading.... I'm not hanging my ass out there for potential DMCA abusers to hand out subpoenas.
I see nothing about mobile development for Source 2 in the announcement - Only desktop PC systems mentioned (Windows/OSX/Linux). Oddly enough, not even Xbox or Playstation is mentioned.
I expect that Source 3 will be able to develop games for mobile, like UE4 and Unity.
Of course, being third in a Valve series, we all know how this story ends.
Meanwhile, trying to use the browser on a Windows Server is an exercise in futility as everything has to be white-listed.
Competing GPU APIs... PowerVR... it's like it's 1998 all over again!
Does this do tile-based rendering?
Bam, Blue and Black.
Q.E.D.
Bad lighting, bad camera, lazy picture taker.

Needs more cowbell.

That was the point.
The pick play near the end of the Super Bowl caused some guy to die.
Deals like this don't happen overnight, they can't even get an agreement done within several months.
Frys or Microcenter, or even NewEgg.

Non-intrusive... and ineffective. I just cleaned up my brother-in-law's machine and that was what he was using.
My preferred approach is to use Avira Free (installed with ninite.com), MalwareBytes, HiJackThis, and the no-ads hosts file from mvps.
Secondary, install Google Chrome with adblock and a good no-script type program (though I personally just use Ghostery with AdBlock)
If treating for malware, bleepingcomputer is the site to go to. Run RKill, followed by ComboFix, ADWCleaner, and TDSSKiller.
This takes care of 99% of the issues, assuming you don't HAVE to continually visit some obscure Russian porn sites.

No word on his thoughts on berries.
I like the new Doritos ones Taco Bell just started offering.
It's the same reason we import oil in the US - use up the capacity elsewhere and horde your own.
