I think we found those Hillary voters that actually moved to Canada.
Summary title: "US Scientists Scramble To Protect Research On Climate Change" From TFA:
at schools like the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Toronto, academics are attempting to download and save as much data as possible. The Canadian school on Saturday is set to host a "guerilla archiving event" in collaboration with the Internet Archive's End of Term 2016 project, which will archive the federal online pages and data that are in danger of disappearing during the Trump administration, including climate change, water, air and toxics programs.
I'm sure the US underwater drone, by the time it is returned will have been photographed, scanned, dismantled
and every ounce of anything copied.
It's how it works.
As if. Why wouldn't they just use the original blueprints they probably stole several times over by now?
however I wonder what % of iPhone users keep their phone long enough for that to be an issue and even then they can still replace the battery via an authorized service center.
That's the whole point. Make it more difficult to maintain old phones so people buy new phones.
They are just inferring, where is the proof they were involved?
There are lots of possible reasons why no proof has been offered. Just speculation, but the answer could be as simple as, "we have a guy on the inside."
Unfortunately, the Administration seems to think everyone will take them at their word.
They're going to advise him they need even more H-1Bs.
Well, for Spacex, that's unlikely. Just about every (every?) opening on their site:
To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
In addition to everyone else's comment, think of it as an investment in the people who change the diapers of the people who are going to change your diapers.
this is america, it's going to happen. discrimination against those who don't want or can't have children. the latter being a medical condition that surely someone will consider an ada-covered disability... and they just might find a judge to agree with them.
Read TFA:
And employees who wish to have a child will receive up to $35,000 for adoption or surrogacy for up to two children. Those undergoing infertility treatments, meanwhile, will receive up to a lifetime maximum of $35,000 to help defray costs.
I've already commented so cannot mod you up. I feel like a whole crop of nutters followed this story onto the front page. I did not want Clinton to win, but I also do not want other countries meddling in our elections.
"The results are to be delivered to Obama before he leaves the [sic] office".
Why? It would make better sense if the results were turned over to Mr Trump, who will be in a position to learn from them and take any appropriate action.
Publicly, at least, Trump is denying Russian involvement, facts be damned. I am going to give the current President the benefit of the doubt and say he's doing it to help persuade Donald Trump that it's something he needs to take seriously.
I don't think it's a ploy to score political points because there are none to score.
He should be fair and review the criminal acts of both sides, not just of one side. But it shows how biased he is, sadly. 8 years ago, when he ran for president he was a real underdog. Now he is part of the corrupt establishment. Maybe because he couldn't do better and was forced to cooperate with it.
What "sides" are you talking about here? Donald Trump did not order his elite team of Russian hackers to break into the DNC and air Clinton's dirty laundry. Russia (presumably) did what Russia did for Russia's reasons.
Malicious PowerShell scripts are mainly used as downloaders
MY GOD THE DUMB IS STRONG HERE
I read TFA. The OP's question--and mine--was "what were Symantec analyzing--where did they get their sample--that 95% of PowerShell scripts were found to be malicious?" If the answer is "known malware" then who cares (and what did the other 5% do?).
I had the same question as the OP. That line, "More than 95% of PowerShell scripts analysed by Symantec researchers have been found to be malicious," is a direct quote from the article, which provides no context. I'm assuming the author meant 95% of malware that had PowerShell... no even that doesn't make sense.
Don't believe everything you read/see in a press release. Apply some critical thinking.
A reasonable person that both watches the video and reads your comment would conclude that either you are mistaken, or Microsoft and Qualcomm have somewhat overcome or mitigated the issues you point out.

Enough people (from Nintendo's perspective) buy 3ds's to supplement their mobiles, because their mobiles don't run the big Nintendo exclusives.
That and mobile devices have no standardized, physical controls.

I was going for, "People who do not know what Git is wrote the article." It's an article about evaluations, not about repositories.
The issue took on a new sense of urgency in 2014 with the formation of a rival startup with a similar name. GitLab Inc.
The article fails to mention what Git is, or why one might reasonably expect a competitor to have "Git" in the name.

Well said. This seems to be a legitimately tech-centric story... which has been pre-poisoned by months of crap posts.

If you need to know the application for an escape key, you don't use your computer much.
I choose not to have kids, they choose to have them. Why should their lifestyle decision be more important than mine?
Well I guess you'll have to vote with your talent and keep on not working at Amex.
Just occasionally send the info to your buddy the paparazzo for a small payout.

I heard it about the Zune.

nd of course, you are now required to carry around a dead octopus worth of cables to cover all the possible situations you may need.
Show me another laptop with 80 Gbps of raw I/O bandwidth. You just don't get it.
What are the applications for that much bandwidth? In a laptop?

Does that make sense? Is the "dumb" still strong?
Hi,
since there's no particular use for it on Joe Doe's pc...
How to switch it *completely* off?
Thanks :)))
Don't give Joe admin access and he'll be fine.
wipe the drool from your chin and RTFA

I don't think the story is credible.
Good thing MS had the foresight to make sure that non-signed PS scripts aren't executable by default.
But there are ways to launch it (Especially from a cmd shell) that bypass that.
If you have already popped a shell, PowerShell is not the deciding factor.
