The analogy would rather be that they installed a V12 in your 80mile-tops van and you found a secret and not vendor-endorsed method for unlocking
all the horse power in the beast.
The vendor, trying to protect his investment and also concerned for the driver's security closes that particular Chip glitch.
In this case simply because Amazon wants you to buy their stuff.
Remember, Amazon makes no profit on the Fire -some even claim it comes at a loss-, they're a company and not your local welfare!
If you expect your tablet to be rootable then you must be prepared to pay somewhat more for a device that the manufacturer makes money on...
You could build a ABC-proof shelter and stock enough food for the next 50 years.
However you'd need an EMP-proof satellite dish for internet uplink, since your resistance would be futile otherwise
Couldn't you just use alternative DNS servers or use a tool which hardcodes it in the 's hosts file or am I missing the point?
Switching browser due to an extension which hackishly has a static hosts file seems kinda odd for a tech site.
To correctly understand the meaning of a question or sentence you'll need something with the horsepower, database and algorithms of IBM's Watson.
And even tough it is quite impressive, it takes a full room just to parse a single question within a second, so if you want 99% accuracy you'll have to wait some more time...
You may need to give the parents a service & repair manual for babies, otherwise how would they know what "dangerous things" means?
Don't blame the child for doing stuff, blame the parent for not protecting against it.
That will only work with certain well-known TLD's. However some extensions like.de are so ridiculously low-cost (1.92$/year plus 1$ Setup, excl. tax) that most speculators make enough money off the mass.
It was possible to exclude whole groups from seeing certain things or your wall post. Now it is possible to only include certain groups to a certain statement
Huge difference! Except if you've been using another Facebook than the one most of us have been... =)
I didn't mean notifications, but that large blueish bar that keeps sticking to the top of our browser window when scrolling down. That one certainly only appeared after G+...
Google+ introduced Circles, shortly afterwards Facebook magically made it possible to share posts with only certain groups This was one of the most-asked-for and never granted features before G+ came along!
Google+ used a top-screen-bar to keep easy access on your notifications, shortly afterwards Facebook introduced _THE SAME_ feature in a major redesign.
You gotta wonder... who copied who on the details. (Games, come on... it's pretty obvious that people who chat want to play games, that dates back to Usenet and IRC!)
So you prefer the good old-fashioned swipe with signature which you could easily -in theory- claim to be faked?
Well I guess you'd prefer to pay with your mobile phone... full of potential spy- or adware...
While never having actually seen the store myself (I'm Luxembourgish), people claim that the logo HAD a part bitten out much like Apple's logo
and changed it to the depicted one when they got the mail from Apple.
One would have to find the supposed old logo before doimg any comparisms. Btw the story is months old
The problem is that _ALL_ major gaming consoles currently produced not only ship with Ethernet but also with Wireless.
While it's certainly possible to just remove the internally plugged-in Wifi-Card of the 360Slim "Trinity", I doubt it will work as desired unless Microsoft provides a special dashboard for their buddies.
Alternatively they could just JTAG the consoles with the Glitch-Hack and run non-official dashboards, but well....
It reembles it in two points; it generates electricity and it uses thorium as fuel source.
But that's already about it. Canada's CANDU reactor design is also capable of using theorium for fuel source and is really close to India's design; so not very 'new'.
LFTR have 2 distinct advantages over this (more or less) proven design; they do NOT have a solid fuel source and thus can be designed to be passive-shutdown,
and they require nearly no chemical pre- nor post-processing of the fuel source. Additionally, they are supposed to have a higher energy gain.
Make sure you don't install dual-boot =)
As it happened to me, a parent accidentally booted Windows instead of Ubuntu and complained that the computer was "broken",
notabily that it had an ugly design, was kinda slugish to use and took forever to execute commands.
Well, what can I say. She loves Ubuntu on her ageing computer (not Unity interface tough) and the 2-3 apps she uses work flawlessly in PlayOnLinux.
LOIC DDOS' mostly relies on large bandwiths to disable their target - regardless of the server's processing capacity.
This issue can be tackled with 3 lines of iptables (ratelimit connections/time and concurrent connections), at least for low capacities.
Most clients are perfectly capable of HTTP keep-alive and thus we can set the limit significantly lower on HTTPS than on HTTP; all we need is a reverse proxy between Apache and the clients or apache mpm_event.
And, as with OpenOffice, the community will fork the Database and add a bunch of useful features to it.
Finally Oracle will either "donate" MySQL back to the community or keep it closed source and everyone will move over to PostgreSQL.
4 years is 2 Server and, depending on your scneario, 1-3 Software Generations away so let's not panic before Oracle has committed to anything.
Apple didnt expect cou-hogging processes on high-performance CPU's to run without any issues on underpowered low-cost low-performance tablet CPU's.
They rather changed from a powerful architecture to another even more powerful and hoped that the loss in performance would not be noticed in most cases
The results are usually only of mild interest to Intel and provide cheap ideas for further research (which again is novel and can be patented) while boosting the image of the company quite a bit.
Intel gives quite a lot back to the opensource world, be it with kernel development, MeeGo or research papers
I'd say they pulled a perfect cooperation stunt of PR and R&D which -additionally- is helpful to the public while not causing Intel any losses.
While it's true that our nervous system runs partially with electrochemical interactions (note the _chemical_ part in that, we do not have conductors in the brain), other parts are plainly chemical.
However for a purely electrical interaction to work you need a receptor, an antenna, which has to be at least a fraction the size of the signal band and made out of a conductor. Now, a lot of our brain works with ions (K+,Na+,Cl-) but these are too small to gather any amount of electricity that could trigger a signal (50mV if I recall correctly)
While I do not say it is impossible for our brain to react to (electro)magnetical signals (a lot of animals have highly attuned magnetic receivers, and we might aswell have some of that capability remaining within our mysterious brain), most of the so-called "Wifi headache" I have encountered could be easily traced back to employees sitting the whole day in front of (often poor-quality) LCD screens, emitting a stimulating bright light, and sit the whole evening in front of the TV while texting.
After you have convinced said people that it's a stress-related headache and given them some time to relax and enjoy nature the headaches disappear.
If you live without electronics, you are usually no longer bound by overly tight schedules and 3min delays but can take the time you need.
You seem to imply that the finding of _some_ scientists is the universal truth while the scientific community is far from agreeing on one particular point (as usual) and keeps publishing findings in every possible direction (up, down, stable) with the argumentation that thousands of years is the scale to look things on.
Unfortunately the dinosaurs didnt keep track of the weather
Ok, let me repeat the 'experience' those scientists apply: Let's pick the temperature of Iceland, a nation claimed to suffer climate change particularly strongly on an independend site: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=temperature+in+Iceland+for+last+hundred+years
It seems the temperature is going DOWN, (from slightly _above_ 10oC to slightly _below_ 10oC in yearly mean) so my conclusion is that the earth is cooling down and that thus, to preserve environment, humanity has to increase CO2 output to restabilize temperature on the old level. I recommend building as many coal-fired plants as possible and reducing taxes on all vehicles with more than 10 literes of fuel consumption per 100 kilometers.

Captchas are made to be unradable. The average human success rate at some Captchas is far lower than that of a OCR-based cracker.

What about PROLOG instead of LISP? Not quite as abusive of your bracket-keys but equally abusive of your "WTF?" when seeing the results :)

That would give a lot of bad press due to high suicide rates. Additionally the prison's coffee machine would break down within a week.
