Have any other manufacturers done a $1000 deposit, cancel at any time for a full refund pre-launch before? It is hard to know how many paid the fully refundable deposit just so they can have reserve a spot in the line if they decide to get one or even trying just in case they might profit from selling the spot.
The fear of the Communist Government is public unrest and subversion of state power. As long as you are being a good citizen and keeping the unwanted Western truth and ideology to yourself then you are really no threat to them. To identify these inciters China mostly relies on the human intelligence gathering capabilities of its vast Security Services. Although lately not even China seems to be able to resist the Big Data cool-aid
nonsense, cygwin is trivial to set up and works wonderfully, have been using that for 20 years. cron and at jobs and all the major scripting languages, ssh/sftp/scp and yes even the X11 xterm works well
From their website cygwin is:
a large collection of GNU and Open Source tools which provide functionality similar to a Linux distribution on Windows.
a DLL (cygwin1.dll) which provides substantial POSIX API functionality.
I think the poster was confused by the ambiguous announcement and his lack of Linux/GNU knowledge. It doesn't look like Canonical is doing anything more then repackaging cygwin wither their branded installer.
For the same reason why Climate-change deniers, anit-GMO campaigners, vaccine truthers and other Conspiracy theories find such fertile ground on the internet. People don't go looking for impartial information, they go looking for material that affirms their already held beliefs. The internet offers them the opportunity to find and like-minded people and form communities even when members are separated by large geographical distances
ID for everything but voting. Because even if you need it for everything from buying food to mass transit, we can't get in the way of voting!
Conservatives often mention the need for ID when buying booze or picking up prescriptions as their argument for why they think that requiring certain form of ID for voting doesn't violate voter rights. Well guess what, neither those nor any other need for ID is not only a Constitutionally protected right but a duty for all citizens that is essential for the functioning of our Democratic system
In the end, "cutting the chord" is not going to save anybody any money, because instead of paying cable $99+ / month for shows and HBO, they're going to have to sign on to 7 services to get the same shows they want to watch, resulting in the same $99/month.
This is exactly the thinking of the Studio Execs and it is fundamentally flawed because they don't realize that for the new generations Social Media, gaming and Web Surfing are entertainment options which they are now competing against. In large part the cord-cutters are not people that can't afford Cable but rather people that can't justify the expense for an entertainment option which they are not be using all that much
It is hard to imagine that Cellebrite has a method that doesn't involve the well discuessed method of physically reading the serial off the chip. Perhaps the FBI sees it as a win win situation. They already have admitted that its unlikely there is much of use on the phone. If it works they have a company that has proven itself proficent at this sort of hacking and if it doesn't, it strengthens their legal argument against Apple
And no mention of how much wealth they created. In the mind of the small-minded, if someone makes or earns a dollar it means someone loses a dollar. That's why we all still live in caves and hunt for our dinner and clothing.
When we say we want to close income inequality we mean we want higher income for the bottom not less for the top. It is you that conclude that a dollar more for the bottom means one less for the top
Money made by a Trust Fund investment is considered Income among many other things. Most people would hardly considered it "Earned" by the person receiving it
From Google: The top 10 percent pays 53.3 percent of all federal taxes. When looking at just federal income taxes, they pay 68 percent of the burden. The top 1 percent pays 24 percent of all federal taxes compared to 35 percent of all federal income taxes.
Even though the rates at the top are effectively lower due to the Swiss cheese tax laws, they end up with a large % of total collected taxes because of the large income inequality.
In 2013 The bottom 48% of taxpayers made an average of $36.500 and between them took a measly %11 of the total income for the country.
The top %1 made on average $428,712 and between them took %19 of the total income.
The top %25 took %68 of the total income of the country. Income inequality is a much bigger problem than tax rates.
The staples crops in the U.S are overwhelmingly GMO. If a product doesn't carry a "Organic" or "GMO free" label one can be quire confident the product contains GMO's. The purpose of the GMO label is not to help those in the market for GMO free products but as a scaremongering tactic for those that are not.
The nation wasn't designed to have senators directly elected by the people. The senators were supposed to represent the states. Thanks the the idiotic 17th amendment we now have basically two houses of Representatives with different constitutional duties. And the states have no representation. That's why the SC nomination process is so fucked up.
Instead of representing the states legislative majority which chose the senators prior to the 17th amendment they now represent the people of the state directly. I say that is how it should be in a representative democracy
Blackberry withered on the vine because they refused to accept and embrace change. They refused to adopt the Android OS, insisting on their proprietary OS years after the market had moved on. If Blackberry had embraced Android from the get-go they would be the Samsung of the cell phone world today.
Android was developed because of BB's collapse of market share and the Google's fear of Apple's complete dominance in the mobile market. BB's demise started with their refusal to develop a touch screen only device. The keyboard made sense for their email heavy corporate customers but for the general public sending a few 256 character badly spelled SMS messages a day, a reliable and comfortable input device was of far less importance than the convenience of a large touch-screen.
As a 600 pound gorilla it thought it could dictate where the market should got and got a painful lesson by customers that decided that touch-screen smartphones was what they wanted in their pockets
Cross platform development studios rarely dedicate resources to optimize their games for the Xbox one funky slow memory and super-fast cache architecture as a result titles often experience more graphic slowdowns and stutters on the Xbox one than the PS4. . This will put FPS players and other Fast action titles on the Xbox one at a disadvantage over the PS4 owners. If players feel that they can't compete with their friends because of the deficiency of their console Microsoft is going to be blasted with negative publicity
Most likely you don't even have a web-server running on port 80 and the connection attempt will be refused. Since there is no extension taking CPU cycles pattern matching ads this way is actually faster...
How do you think that the connection attempt gets made and refused, magic non-CPU woo-woo?
It may be true that if the extension is much less efficiently written than the browser and underlying OS services to look up the domain and do the connection attempt, that it will be slower, but all things being equal -- which is the point of this feature -- it should be faster, since you pretty much get to do a single if() rather than going through the entire rigmarole of a connection attempt.
A TCP SYN packet is sent and a TCP RST packet is received. If you want to be splitting hairs yes this does use a few Hertz of cpu time
You do realize that querys to DNS are cached by the OS and the cache file will grow much larger than even the largest hosts based ad-blocker if you been browsing the internet for any amount of time. Most sites these days fetch content from a large number of hosts
Browser based ad blockers can block ads before the request is made while hosts files let the request pass but redirect it to a black hole.
It means that in theory, browser-based adblocking can be faster.
The most common type of hosts file blocking is to point the domain to the machines loop-back interface 127.0.0.1
When trying to fetch "http://ad.doubleclick.net/annoying_ad.gif" the machine will try to fetch 127.0.0.1/annoying_ad.gif
Most likely you don't even have a web-server running on port 80 and the connection attempt will be refused.
Since there is no extension taking CPU cycles pattern matching ads this way is actually faster, of course since content instead of HTTP elements are being blocked the results are often not as pretty. It is also a very blunt tool, if ads are being served from the same domain as the rest of the content then everything will be blocked

It is probably just deleting temporary cache files. The reclaimed storage will likely be gone in a few weeks usage
