The DRM was asked by the music industry at the very beginning. It was a condition so that Apple could sell music files. But soon after, Steve Jobs fought against the DRM
Oh yes, I am sure he fought quite valiantly against Apple's position of profitable vendor lock in.
That letter is not new to me, only that somebody believed it.
I hate to always be that guy, but Apple did not figure out how to let you take your whole music collection with you, they simply made the best version of an existing product and shackled it to their DRM laden music store.
The solution isn't slinging jingoistic insults, it's renewable energy sources and EVs.
Even in the US there are many places that need better public transit options. Commuting to work alone in a vehicle is a waste of resources, no matter what energy source is powering it. I would certainly love to take a train or (rapid) bus instead if one were available.
This is almost _never_ the case. It's usually a sign of extensively overdesigning the solution, insisting that the single tool solve _all_ the problems.
Perhaps they have a mandate that they select a single comprehensive solution rather than multiple smaller solutions.
I was a bit surprised to see this researcher has published complete details of how to exploit this, such as a sample XML file for launching cmd.exe. I don't see any indication that Casey Smith attempted to report this in a responsible way, or to give the vendor a chance to respond. This kind of disclosure could potentially do a lot of harm.
It's a post-compromise application whitelisting bypass, of which there are other techniques. I don't think this is quite what you think it is.
This was a predictable cycle to all of us naysayer luddites who play retro consoles. Some manufacturer will come out with a disconnected toy console for children, and the cycle will begin again.
It sounds like you are describing a Nintendo (3)DS. I don't see Nintendo ever replicating the success of the DS/Lite/XL. Too many parents' old phones laying around to use instead.
It is abundantly clear no current generation console is on pace with the last two generations. That is the point of the article, however poorly stated.
Eventually the reverse will be true. Give it another five years and people won't react so viscerally. Ten years and designated phone-free theaters will be the exception, not the norm.
Sure, I don't like the idea, but it all depends on who is buying the tickets. Every day more kids with no memory of what movie going etiquette used to be get their first smart phones. Times change.
Why, because no one but you knows how to read an article? Summaries are called "summaries" for a reason. They don't contain every goddamned piece of information contained in the article.
No, because without at least a suggestion of the new theory, how are we to know if TFA is worth our time?
I'm not disputing this, but how are you measuring the "size" of the breach? Productivity lost? Highest profile? The total number of individuals affected? Or is a breach bigger if slightly fewer people are affected but in a more substantial way? I can think of many ways that the Sony breach was bigger, or the Snowden leaks, or the recently disclosed Panama Papers (though not "American").
For example, I could create a system of interchangeable plastic blocks that very small children could put together, either free-form, using their own imaginations, or in specially designed kits that are intended to be assembled (with instructions) into an exciting macro-toy...
Yeah but I never stepped on a Minecraft block barefoot in the middle of the night.
The proposal itself may be awful, the likely consequences would be good. This could very well be the final push for many companies processing personal information to finally leave the US and settle in a country less hostile to privacy.
Sounds like the perfect time for them to relocate.
It's a double edged sword. The Italian government was concerned that they were doing business with Azerbaijan, Egypt, etc., but also wasn't interfering the same way that a shadier government would.
Despite what you're suggesting, AC, I actually was grateful for the information his response provided. It was more useful than my original post. I could not mod it up because I posted the parent.
It would be nice if, in the summary, you told me what makes "Budgie" different from every other kind of Ubuntu.
Side note: Is it really a good idea to distinguish your Ubuntu flavor with an animal? I know it's not "Bodacious Budgie" or something along those lines, but it could be confusing nonetheless.
Budgie is a DE, like Xfce and GNOME: https://solus-project.com/budg...
Thanks! Wish I could mod up insightful.
The Ubuntu flavors are differentiated by their name (Xfce: Xubuntu, KDE: Kubuntu, etc.), and the animal names designate the release number (16.04 will be "Xenial Xerus" for all of the flavors).

Slashdot Mirror
most of her significant wins have a cloud of large-scale voter suppression over them.

When your guys is losing, there is always "large-scale voter suppression."

Human nature invariably leads to concentration of wealth and power into a few hands.
I simplified that for you.

Can that even make a dent compared to the legions of trolls that provide their services for free?

The world DOES exist in some sort of vacuum.
That's abhorrent.
You would think that after all that investment they would actually want to watch the movie they paid for.
How the other guy chooses to spend his $11 experience is up to him as long as it doesn't affect me. He can fall asleep, for all I care.

Ha ha ha. You're talking like this will pass.
Why are you calling out Feinstein but not Burr? They are both asshats.
Let me guess; you're a Republican.
Way to take a stand in the most partisan, half-assed way imaginable.
More likely because the senior Senator from the Silicon Valley state should know better.
Turn it over. It's clear as day from the pictures.

I'm an idiot.
Tried to say thanks. Not sure what posting rule of Slashdots that I broke such that my comment was removed. Should have looked at the preview closer.
