Warner Brothers is working through the legal system to maintain the Harry Potter universe for future generations
...of shareholders (not that there is anything wrong with that, I remind to my own corporate masters)
The simple solution is to require registration, charge a fee based on economic activity (nominal if otherwise free, like a library) and stipulate licensed merchandise only. Sure the keyboard lawyers will talk about 'liability', however, the real lawyers can mitigate any responsibility. Such activities would certainly enhance the brand and possibly pull some creative types into their corporate orbit.
While I've dabbled in several other language, Java has 'paid my bills' for most of the last twenty years, so my view may be slanted. However, I can say that I've never written nor encountered a 'buffer overflow' hidden away in any code I was directly responsible, and while there have been a few over the years in the core and some well used libraries, they have been usually related to Serialization. This is a good move.
I'd argue that Java is the reason why so many Linux servers are used in the corporate environment. The ability to write/compile software on typical Windows desktops (or Mac) yet run reliably on Linux has been a big selling point. In fact the only places I've worked at with significant Windows Server installations have been those who's product is built on dot net, C# or C++. While there are 'work arounds' (e.g. virtual box, Cygwin, etc) to test and compile many other languages in such an environment, few languages offer the same level of host OS diversity.
Your âcalculationsâ(TM) fail to take into account the amount of electricity needed to convert crude oil into gasoline. It is nearly enough to power an electric car, even after considering the refining by products.
Even if you solve the 'Mr Burns blots out the Sun' problem (make most of it out of glass maybe) you run into at least two biggest problems of a Dyson sphere
The amount of materials needed for such a structure would far exceed any readily available supply, possibly even within the entire solar system.
The changes in gravity would likely doom life on earth, at least as we know it.
I first started to visit Slashdot in 1998 at my first IT job where the Lead Linux System Admin made it the home page for every box. A little research shows that accounts started in the summer of 1998, not sure why I waited as long as I did to create an account, but my other active account is about 20% lower in 'rank'. Trying to figure out the date of registration for either was a lost cause as Slashdot doesn't seem to display a CREATE_DATE and no longer allows one to go back more more than a couple of pages of comment history. When writing the comment earlier in this thread, I was thinking it was about 2000 before finally added the accounts, but now I suspect it was sometime in 1999. It would be interesting if someone could chart the website's UID growth by month.
However, Hillary and Bill officially 'moved' (well bought a home and claimed it as primary residence) in November of 1999, so she's been a NY State resident for I'm guessing nearly as long at least.
Sometimes the challenges faced by a generation are different, but most often they tread well worn ground. One trope in particular is the 'older person' with a rose colored vision of the past and an intergeneral chip on their shoulder. Did you ever think you'd age enough to be a crotchety old man? Congratulations, it's happened.
A quick google will show dozens of videos of people trying to break glass out of car windows using hammers. It's clearly not as easy as you seem to think, nor is breakable glass considered to be a safety feature. Sure there may be a few edge cases where it might come in 'handy', but overall it's better to have stronger glass than weaker, not even by a little bit.
The guy that is the leading contender for Trumps 'national security advisor' which is arguably a major position of trust is perhaps the most notable of many Republican leaders who pushed this story and even claimed that it would end in an prosecution. This is common knowledge that anyone who has followed this story has seen, yet you choose to ignore it. In fact Flynn's son (been called his 'chief of staff') has even recently doubled down on that very statement. The simple fact is that you and other republicans have chosen to ignore the party leadership's direct complicity in spreading these dangerous lies.
Sure, but only if you in turn 'accept responsibility' for the kid who shot up a black church, or the other that shot up a school, or the others that shot up another school, or that other one. Or the dozens and dozens of times every day that the GOP has lead America in the gun culture which hands dangerous weapons to unstable people. Oh, wait, right wing lunatics only talk about 'personal responsibility' when pointing at other people.
Who happened to walk into a business and shoot because he was goaded on by GOP propaganda spread not just by random trolls, but party leaders. The Republican party has a real mess on its hands. This will not end well.
If you can't see it for what it is, you've got a problem.
It is simply the expected end result of GOP lead lies combined with their rabid insistence of weaponizing lunatics for poltical gain. One would be silly to think otherwise.
Actually seems more like a right wing nut job wet dream. Perfectly healthy intentional pregnancies every time is the Planned Parenthood's goal. Republicans only stir up hate against women's issues because it's a big 'winner' with wedge issue fools.
A blockchain is nothing more than a log of all transactions, including splits which would need to be 'attached' to a physical unit for the use described in this story. It's very much like a bar code, but individualized for each package and inclusive of the blockchains of ingredients rather than a pre-registered number dependent on individual company database for context. If properly done there are clear advantages in tracking ingredients from farm to table especially when it comes to recalled food, but it will take a tremendous effort throughout the supplier chain. However, Walmart has used its position for such leverage before.
When you have an entire poltical party claiming 'government is bad; regulation is evil' and winning because of it, why would you expect any other result?
So exactly which vague unworkable promise do you think that the public would notice that Trump won't complete first? Perhaps it will be the 10% growth or the promise of more manufacturing jobs, but I bet the first of his, nay the GOP's, great disappointments might be the wall mexico will pay for. Next up will likely be the deep recession in part caused by a trade war he picks with a tweet.
A couple of years ago, a company for which I had been working was refreshing all the laptops. As part of the program, the USB ports were locked down so that only encrypted drives could be used. As soon as you plugged in a drive that was not encrypted, it insisted on encrypting the contents before allowing it to be used as a drive. In fact the company policy was that one could continue to use your personal thumb drives, but insisted that they be encrypted and password protected (which seemed odd to me at the time)
I suspect that he, like many people (but not me), had a bunch of his 'day to day' files on a thumb drive, perhaps even the data he wanted to 'keep safe' while getting new equipment, but may have been untouched in months if not years. As part of his 'departure plan' he uploaded all of the old data*, including that 'silly extra step' of encrypting his old thumb drive. However, that transaction was logged as an upload to the encrypted drive and at least one of those file names was later flagged as containing 'Personally Identifiable Information'. The thumb drive might not have even left the office, but clearly wasn't accounted for on his exit.
"Cubicle", god I wish I still had a cubicle. Us nobodies now sit at benches avoiding eye contact with a half a dozen people or more. I never thought that a six figure job would come with a 'move your feet, lose your seat' rule.
I suspect that each thief used multiple accounts until each of the ATMs was out of money, then moved to the next one. Perhaps 10 or twenty large withdraws each one might take 10 to 20 minutes. Five to ten minutes to get to the next ATM would give four to eight 'sessions' over two hours, so I'd guess that each one worked 40 to 160 transactions, lets say 100 each for lack of better data. Meaning about 140 crooks for the 'back of napkin estimate', I'm no expert on the Yakuza, but that number seems really 'doable'.
Why do you think that people are not entitled to their opinion? The irony is that you complain about 'political correctness' while complaining viciously about 'other people's language'. I can only come to the conclusion that they aren't 'politically correct' for your tastes
In reality, what you seem to think are earnest 'self righteous' (let me use the word you almost said) 'Social Justice Warriors', are simply a new version of trolls. 'this new generation' of trolls understands that everything you do or say online will be linked permanently and thus instead of calling other random people 'ass knockers' (which could be dug up and perhaps used against you in 20 years), they simply pound out anger on whichever righteous target is trending on Twitter.

Hillary has lived in NY State for some 18 years now, which is longer than I've had this account.

The Russian government continue to pay their trolls to keep the GOP in power. Once Putin is finally thrown out, much of their noise will abate.
Obama created 15 million jobs over the last 8 years. I doubt if Trump will end up with a positive number.

Actually, the sticker is $700, but does come with a free iPhone.

Ah, 'the slippery slope' argument. Get back to us when you have a real world example that doesn't ignore the typical rules of commerce.
A couple of years ago, a company for which I had been working was refreshing all the laptops. As part of the program, the USB ports were locked down so that only encrypted drives could be used. As soon as you plugged in a drive that was not encrypted, it insisted on encrypting the contents before allowing it to be used as a drive.

Not every blunder deserves handcuffs.

Meh, welcome to trolling 2.0
Actually, I think of myself as a moderate, but I call myself 'liberal' because it pisses off right wing lunatics.
