They should make a torrent of the info and let others host it, it will never disappear
I get the distinct impression there's no big heap of files to make a torrent of.
I agree, but disc space is all that keeps her from archiving them when they are requested. That might also be representative of their relative popularity.
Maybe she is worried about being more illegal than already but that seems unlikely.
If we actually cared about our species as a whole, this sort of information would be freely available to those that seek it. I hope sci-hub can ignore these silly demands and continue improving their website.
Me too. I've been using it to read mostly papers on climate science. The ones where vested interests just want you to believe the summaries given to (or interpreted by) the media.
I don't consider it very scientific if only a handful of paying customers can actually read your science. Transparency goes a long way toward credibility.
Yes, though it comes down to primarily two basically opposite reasons;
I use a VPN to securely access my work resources from home. With two factor authentication and associated firewall rules that control my access to internal resources. They know who I am, they know what I do when I am connected (and since I am with the corp network team I'm actually one of the watchers as well).
I also use a personal VPN, not to access work resources but for the totally reverse functionality - so that people who may be watching my activity DO NOT know who I am, as well as greatly limiting, though not completely removing, the number of people who can watch in the first place.
when I got quake I ran it from dos in 320x240 on a 486DX2, its pretty old school
But it was so revolutionary with it's mini GL port for Rendition and then 3dFX Voodoo. Got me into gaming too, being a quantum leap in visuals over the original Doom. Then after playing all the mission packs, there was Quake 2, Unreal, Deus Ex, Half Life, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Far Cry (my all time favorite), Call of Duty, Crysis....
I left off around there. Like the OP I am looking to take up gaming again. Look forward to the suggestions on this thread. The latest Doom is top of my list.
Way to go America cooperating with the ruling Mullahs in protecting the Iranian people from evil western influences. I'm sure they appreciate the help.
I still keep a basic cable package for local news and some add-on sports channels; stuff it makes sense to watch in real time, which most content is not.
Honestly, I still end up time shifting a lot of the real time stuff too, but the live option is still there.
Their customers have the right to redistribute the software that they've received. GRsecurity is then saying that if they do, GRsecurity will not provide them with any future revisions to the code. There is nothing in the GPL that gives the recipient of a copy of code the right to future versions of that code or the right to distribute future versions of that code.
I'll buy a copy, and redistribute it freely and widely. They won't sell me the next version because of that, so someone else here will have to buy a copy, and redistribute it freely and widely.
Ideally in the end they will have one customer for each release, who will all be part of my plan........
The NSA and CIA have their hands full trying to spy on the entire ME, China, NK, Russia, Europe, and just about any other country of note and hardly have the time to spy on a bunch of twits who also claim using Facebook qualifies as a technical job skill.
Actually we all know the NSA and CIA happily share information they obtain by mass spying with local law enforcement agencies for offences that have nothing at all to do with national security.
If I have to be spied on, I'd rather it be by China (who has no real power or authority over me) than the US (who does).
Exactly! If you are the government, or a corporation then foreign spies are indeed the biggest concern, but if you are an individual, your own government has far greater potential to mess with your life than most any foreign country. The Russians and the Chinese don't care if you order bongs online or donate money to radical groups or gamble on illegal sports or whatever.
Only your own government is uniquely positioned to use their spying against you.
Basically this. Card swipes are legacy. Nice that Samsung does both that and NFC, but it is still hardware dependent and either way mag stripes are certainly going to go away soon.
I'm not sure troll applies to this company anymore than it does to Apple itself.
I did like one of the comments on the linked article from 2014 though;
"So apple get sued for patent infringement is patent trolling but apple suing for rectangles with rounded corners or unlocking by sliding your finger (on a touchscreen!) Is fine...."
At home when storms roll through my crappy cable internet can die on my but the Wi-Fi signal will still be strong. My iPhone will keep hammering away at the Wi-Fi because it sees a signal but it goes no where
Fair enough. A great wifi radio signal with no backhaul would be kind of the opposite of my issue and just as annoying. Hopefully future solutions will consider all the various failure modes.
Then I end up on LTE when I am at home sitting next to my access point. I'm not sure how it is trying to measure "bandwidth", but it does not work well.

Would mod this up except I have already posted.
Would add "and keep that torrent up to date as long as they can."

I guess you will also have an explanation for the fact that there is less ice in the Arctic?
Well, it is an interglacial......
Even if there was no such thing as climate science slow warming would be a safe bet.

Pretty versatile thing those VPNs.
If they share the same address, the "3rd party" is probably just another division of the same company.
Probably the leasing division.......
all the bought and paid for state politicians?

Sums it up well. They saw what happened to Iraq. Why wouldn't they want nukes to defend themselves? Can't blame them one bit.

Maybe get an Otterbox or something similar if you plan on dropping it.
A list that can't be broken, or forged.
Exactly. It is just a list for sure - but one where you can never go back and change anything.
Like a traditional ledger is supposed to be but is not really in practice.

Have not done either for decades, but pretty sure my preference would still stand today.

The police call them "anonymous tips".

Sorry bud. You have been modded troll for actually saying what is probably the first thought for most non-Americans.
stolen phones are still valuable because you can sell the parts
Fair enough. Same as cars.
Still a good idea to make stolen ones harder to register though.

WARF is reportedly a non-practicing entity that exists only currently by defending its patents in litigation.
My first question would be does anyone else license this patent from them?
Actually it looks like they do. http://www.businessinsider.com... (the single page link does not seem to work)

Lithium is the 25th most abundant element in the Earth's crust. Running out of it is roughly as big a concern as running out of iron or aluminum.
Ever seen a lithium mine?
They look not much different from the oil sands.
Like on my laptop, there is a "Connect automatically" checkbox.
Yes. We would like a "Connect automatically if this network is better than the one I'm on" checkbox, with a handful of parameters to define better.
