Facebook is on the TOR network in the sense that they run their own TOR service/node. Traffic coming from those can be (and very probably is) tagged correspondingly. They do not rely on third-party (aka NSA) provided exit nodes from the Tor network to the "general" internet which would not qualify as being "on Tor".
We are talking about corporates and non-profit entities here. Both have their own advantage at heart, which happens to correlate with many user's desires to access their service.
You can't force a company, which spends a lot of good money on promoting their product, to freely promote other services. If we were talking about sponsored internet, right. However despite the name this is not sponsored internet but a product in itself!
While I do agree with you, it's basically the same point underneath. Proving that attacks without encryption could not be stopped shows that encryption does not really matter in the first place. And as such we've landed on your standpoint.
What some political dimwits are not getting is that no trained attacker would be stupid enough to make the information publicly available. Be it through encryption, obscurity or just by having the plans drain in the sea of useless information surrounding it... there are always methods of getting something done in secrecy.
What other vedors? TP-Link is just following the EU and US rules, all other vendors will follow suit very soon.
I'm more worried about the phrasing in the EU-equivalent to the FCC rule which, if interpreted correctly, forbids the device from being USED with modified firmware.
General plug-in surge protectors just short to ground whenever the component inside triggers over X volt. According to Wikipedia the lowest trigger voltage is 330V for 110V circuits, so even a 110v-rated protector will work fine as the device MUST be able to handle such spikes without damage for certification.
However note that especially in developing countries the surge protector may NOT be enough but the adequate solutions are probably far too heavy for you.
My buest guess is that Slashdot, being a large site, has several geographically distributed caching servers (which are btw running Varnish)
It takes some time to populate and propagate the content to all proxies. Add possible time desynchronization and there comes your too-early/too-late.
We are talking tech news, not some high-precision announcement so the amount of cpu-power, engineering and system maintenance required to reduce the delay to e.g. a few seconds is simply unacceptable

No and yes.
A dual-core CPU as first produced by Intel really was only 2 CPU's on a single die.
However a real multicore CPU has multiple calculation cores while sharing certain parts (e.g. a common L3 cache or the ALU) and using a ultra-high-speed inter-core communication system
Furthermore a x86 CPU is huge due to it's sheer size of internal high-clock memory, X86 instruction set with additions like 64-bit, Hyperthreading,....
ARM CPU's as found in your mobile devices are a lot smaller due to a different (smaller) instruction set and being optimized for size, not high performance.
A GPU core on the other hand is even smaller (only several thousand transistors as compared to several millions in an average CPU) as it has only one and one purpose alone; mathematic calculations. At least that was true untl OpenCL and Cuda came along, now they can execute -with great performance loss as compared to int and float calculations- other commands.
I have a GalaxyS with Cyanogenmod 9 Alpha (ICS 4.0.3)
ICS and Chrome Beta run fine on it. Altough I have to admit i'd be overally happy with more RAM =)
I agree. Next time I report a break in to my customer's webspaces I fully expect chinese and russian officials to hunt down and turn over the crook owning the automated bot and bring him to Germany for fair justice
Oh well, he could also be shot in the raid in his home and claimed a danger to mankind for all I care.
Just make sure the system works BOTH ways, not only the money-stuffed-ass way
Who said irrelevant? Marketing is NEVER irrelevant
Especially not if you can show that you $EXPENSIVECOVER can fall a few km while the $LESSEXPENSIVE cover from the next boot was only thrown down of a bridge...
And that's exactly what they mean when they tell you about everyone saving money through virtualization...
Even the skimmers now only need virtualized skimming devices instead of actually having to produce them...
Well it's not very surprising considering that at least a Diebold I saw was running Windows 2k and seemingly without ECC-RAM since it kept blue-screening with the same tell-tale message over and over, ran through BIOS, booted up, tried loading it's user interface and eventuelly the cycle began anew...
I'm astonished they manage to keep the things from blowing up all by themselves
And then spend countless hours tether-booting it, trying unreliable jailbreak hacks and stumble across issues with Cydia?
Or maybe you just don't care about jailbroken freedom, in which case: Why didn't you buy an Iphone4 in the first place? They were roughly the same price...
On the other hand you could just get a phone from one of the manufacturers that really cares about updates, like HTC, even if that means having a less impressive hardware. You did a choice knowing full well the manufacturer's notority for not caring about updates or if you didn't then you should have looked it up first.
Complaining about having to do stuff yourself afterwards is kinda... stupid
Oh, and if your GPS antenna is broken or has bad contacts; you can order a new one for roughly 10-20$ off eBay, replacement is easy with just 2 screws.
However I usually find external bluetooth receivers with SIRF3-chips the best; my "Road66"-one even manages to get a steady and accuracte fix in large cities, has 6 hours battery charge and takes around 10 seconds to cold-start (I dont know how it does it... amazing!)
I for one am quite pleased with my Galaxy S (first revision), even if not with Samsun'g customer service. Well, that's what homebrew is for, isn't it?;)
The reasoning is more like that he wouldn't have doped with such a trivial method if he had known he would be found in the test.
And you can't honestly believe he hoped for "some luck" to make his test results look normal...
Take a look at the 'China Tablets'. They more or less provide what you'd expect of them (and can usually play videos and Angry birds too) while sometimes even featuring HDMI ports for external television sets for a very affordable price.
However you'd have to live with resistive displays (not on all models), low-powered CPU's, low-resolution LCD panels, not-too-great battery life (3-6 hours) and sometimes unusable audio outputs and some devices tend to break down after a few weeks (check forums for issues in advance...)
Oh and there are even copies of the copies =)
I got a Flytouch2 and while not great for most stuff (especially not when compared to an iPad) it works for reading mail, checking the weather forecast,...
Android nor iOS do not -and could not- prevent you from running any other operating system.
It's the darn bootloaders, closed-source drivers, dreadful reverse-engineering and lack of schemata that's causing the issues with running other OS
All non-Windows x86-tablets (like the Wetab) have official or unofficial methods (e.g. writing 'magic bytes' at the beginning of a USB stick) to get them to boot from it and run any desired OS.
I meant a tool that allows non-geeks to click a single button (or better no button at all...) and it installs + updates the relevant contents in the hosts file
It's rather common logic that, if two tablets with strikingly similar hardware sell at a price where one is the double of the other, one of the 2 is not going to make a lot of money off the hardware, at least not compared to the other.
Building such devices is very expensive, only the touchscreen or ARM cpu with it's stacked RAM will cost a lot, let alone the battery.

True, Samsung doesn't care about software updates, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't either.

Nothing. But it's a pain in the ass to get people to write well if they can just be lazy...
