I would think the real idiots are Samsung's lawyers if they lost 2 out of 3 cases so that it had to try to get to the Supreme Court in the first place.
The real problem is the patent system that allows things like "slide to unlock", "rounded corners", and "1-click purchasing" to become patents in the first place. To get a patent it should not be obvious, not part of the natural world (using the widest definition of natural which includes mathematics), be non-trivial, be new, and have a working prototype. There could be some more refinement as to the qualifications but off the top of my head that would make a better system than the current one.
The Chinese are taking their time and making sure that they get everything right. They are definitely not rushing things with their program. I wouldn't put down the Chinese space program as they at least have the capability to put people into orbit unlike the US.
Every country has their own instance of the company. So in this case there will be a Hilton that owns Hilton USA, Hilton UK, Hilton Canada, etc. The data breach took place in the UK so the maximum fine would be based on revenue of the previous fiscal year of Hilton UK, not Hilton (Worldwide). Unless they propose on fining companies that aren't responsible for the data breach.
And if they do decide to go after the global entities then all they will do is create separate companies to handle all of the customer data processing that are paid just enough to keep things running. Then Hilton will say the data breach will the fault of Hilton Customer Data Processing Company and the fine will be minimal.
I'm not saying how these companies have acted is right. I think that there should be jail time involved for the CxOs instead of large fines for their inept handling of customer data (and especially those that brought about the global financial crisis).
When the CIA releases Al Qaeda propaganda it's perfectly fine.
If I were to even say something nice about the bastards then I'd be labelled a terrorist and find myself in a 0-star suite in Cuba wearing an orange jumpsuit. I thought that the CIA was supposed to be fighting the CIA, not becoming their web provider.
It could be certain word(s) that are above a threshold in the smaller segments but those things are talked about in the other segments so the appearance rate is lower, and below the threshold, in the combined video.
Does anyone remember the person that deleted the small JavaScript file and brought down so many big sites because they were loading it from his site instead of having a copy on their own site? I think it was to justify text. It was only a couple of lines.
You need to find a function that is popular like that and is loaded from a central server. Once you have identified one then find a way to change it so that it gets the browsers to mine cryptocurrency. Probably don't want it to spike the CPU usage as it would give it away.
They have always done this, even when they were Research in Motion. The only change is that they are saying it's hard to break the encryption. At least when they had their own OS and applications which interacted with the enterprise software the company had keys, on a regional basis, to decrypt the data. It sounds like they can't decrypt the phone itself easily, but are happy to try. I'm sure that they still have the ability to decrypt anything that goes through the enterprise software.
The problem with cable is that you share your bandwidth with your neighbours so that when it's busy you don't get your maximum downloads. I'm on a slower cable connection than what was mentioned (30Mbps, TekSavvy in Ontario) and there are some times it seems quick to respond and at others it's slow. Fibre isn't shared with the neighbours so you always have the maximum bandwidth available.
That TekSavvy plan is for cable though, not fibre, so you can't compare the two prices. TekSavvy doesn't have any plans over fibre yet, at least in Ontario.
It seems very strange to classify them as this or that. People can check their mail in many different ways.
I have one account that I can, and do, check on my desktop, via webmail, and on my mobile. I normally access it via a desktop application and have rules on there that sort incoming mail. If I'm out I use my phone to check for anything important. And I use the webmail version to label messages as spam (or not) so my provider's spam detection system works better. Of course this would probably be counted as being accessed via my mobile to fit with the researchers point.
That's where statistics comes into play. If you study it then you will learn how many randomly selected samples to test so that you can be confident that the order meets the requirements.
It's just that companies are more motivated to keep track of software that they have paid for licenses for. If they don't keep track of their license usage then they can be fined for running illegal copies. Some software companies are extremely vigilant in making sure that their customers are only running the number of copies that have been paid for.
If the free open source world had some companies that tracked their applications like that then firms would track the usage better.
Just put the appropriate amount of nuclear waste in their meeting room and tell them about it a month later. I highly doubt that their reactions would be that it's perfectly fine since it's within the range of the first responder limit and should pose no harmful health effect.
It's not just the phones, tablets and computers that need to be updated. Since it's clients that need to be patched it's everything that connects to the network. Thermostats, scales, TVs, digital photo frames,...
But Apple won't port the fix back to previous versions of iOS for devices that can run the latest. I don't want to install iOS 11 because it doesn't offer me anything I want. It'll just slow things down until 11.1 comes out when they have had a chance to work on performance. But there's no way for me to get the security updates to 10 if I want to stay on that version. So now when the patch comes out for iOS 11 I'll have to "upgrade" to 11 just because I use my devices outside of the house.
At least Apple doesn't do the same with macOS. One can still get the security updates for the previous versions without having to update to the latest.
If cigarette butts are that big of a problem why not just hire some bylaw enforcement officers to patrol the areas and give out tickets for littering for anyone throwing the butts on the sidewalk/street. After people get a large fine, or two, for littering they will change their ways.
We are a part of nature. It doesn't exist for use to use as raw materials. Until we change this attitude that everything is here for us to exploit then we will continue to seeing nature "fight back".
When meeting the new CIO he called everyone in the web development group (comprised of project managers, developers, graphic artists, etc) a bunch of interchangeable cogs and meant it as a compliment. He couldn't see why everyone was upset by the remark.
Credit card information isn't stored with the browser (on the Mac at least, I don't know about anywhere else). It's stored in the Keychain, a much safer place. Also, all of your payment history isn't stored like with this proposal. When filling in the information for a credit card there is only the name on the credit card, the card number, and the expiry date. The CCV isn't stored. Any other fields that would get filled in would be part of some other autofill. You don't start entering your name and have your credit card information filled in too. You always have to go to the credit card number field and select the card to fill in the information, even if you only have one card.
They couldn't even get the people on the Microsoft campus to use their phones so now they are trying to get them to at least use their browser on the competitors phones.

They're British when they win. When they lose they're Scottish.
So it's just slow?

From the list of astronauts you can see that there have been six missions to space. The last one, Shenzhou 11, launched on 16 October 2016 and rendezvoused with the space laboratory. They stayed in orbit for a month.
The Chinese are taking their time and making sure that they get everything right. They are definitely not rushing things with their program. I wouldn't put down the Chinese space program as they at least have the capability to put people into orbit unlike the US.
Maybe they want a new way to take people to their space station?

That feature will come with Treehouse for Workgroups 3.11.

If they used the model on a sample of 500k videos and will only start to scan the whole library next year I wonder how many videos they have.
They have even taken over watching porn now.
