If the phone is part of a contract you are paying for the phone over a number of installments. Paying for a car by using a loan doesn't make it bank's.
The provider's terms don't make the phone theirs either. Just like signing up to an ISP doesn't make your computer belong to that ISP or by getting a license for your car doesn't make it belong to the government.
Proper writing period, not just journalism. When you introduce acronyms in technical manuals, letters, newspaper articles, or even webpages then the correct usage is to write out the term on the first usage followed by the acronym in parentheses immediately after. From then on one can use the acronym.
While it was nice to have the acronym defined it was weird to do so at the end because it would have made the summary easier to read instead of having the uncertainty while reading the summary and then finding it out.
As to not having to define it for this audience I would say that it's not common enough to warrant one. I'm fairly knowledgeable about the acronyms and didn't know what it was. I would say things such as MS (Microsoft) or IP (as in IP address) wouldn't need definitions but once you start going into a specific domain then it would be polite to add it even if it may be common to you.
I just used Google and Bing as an example. I know that the when using SSL they can only see the host. But my point was if you are on a site that doesn't support it and you visit abc.co/page1.html then the bill says the ISP only has to store abc.co.
But if you set up something so that all of your browsing looked like redirect.me/abc.co/page1.html redirect.me/abc.co/image1.png
then all the ISP would ever save is the redirect.me for all of the sites that you ever visit.
ISIS doesn't really have a reason to attack Russia. Russia is only performing a small amount of their attacks against ISIS as they are more concerned with helping Assad defeating the rebel groups. Essentially Assad is concentrating on the rebels and leaving ISIS to the US and it's allies. The token Russian attacks against ISIS are just to basically to say that they are there to fight ISIS.
Going into tin-foil hat territory I could see Russia bombing the airplane and letting ISIS take the blame in order to drum up support for the battle in Syria.
Black boxes almost never give you the answer right away. In the case of an explosion you might see some of the sudden loss of a number of systems, smoke, fire, loss of air pressure, fuel lines cut, and a bunch of other things. But it won't tell you the cause of the explosion. It could be a bomb. Something in the cargo. Attack.
That plus it will take at least a day to even get the black boxes to a proper laboratory to do the examination. You don't just pop open the box and hook up the storage medium to a laptop.
The bill says that ISPs are to store the domain name that you visit and not the page or anything you pass to it. So they could tell that you would have gone to Google or Bing but not what you searched for. But if you sent everything to a proxy server beyond your ISP then all they see is a bunch of connections to the proxy.
The UN did NOT authorize the use of force in Iraq. It did with Afghanistan. When the US came to Canada asking for our help in Iraq we specifically asked for proof of the claims of WMDs which were the reason for the invasion and were told that it was secret because it would put lives in danger. It was a completely BS reply. The party leaders could have been safely told of any intelligence and they would have then told their party members whether or not they believed we should join. And danger to the informants would have been contained. But it showed that the WMDs was a BS excuse.
Just because Congress says it was okay to invade another country doesn't make it right. Putin got his government's okay to invade the Ukraine so I guess that makes it okay too.
The US went to the UN looking to make the invasion legitimate like Afghanistan and couldn't provide the proof so they didn't get it. The US came to Canada and asked us to join them in Iraq. Our Prime Minister asked to see the proof of these WMDs and was told no. So our parliament voted to stay out of Iraq.
The original reason for invading Iraq was weapons of mass destruction. I'm not inventing that reason. But the US invented their excuse.
And the rise of ISIS wasn't caused by the US pulling out too early. The direct reason was the disbanding of the Iraqi army which created a large pool of idle people that were trained with weapons and given reason to not like the US. Of course that only happened because of the invasion.
Well, they had over a $1B in revenue last year so it's not that bad of a valuation on the surface. The trouble is these companies tend to rise up fast and come down just as fast. They have to keep on putting out new addictive games that people will spend money on credits/coins/tokens for. That's very hard to do.
But it must be said that it's a lot more respectable than valuing Uber at $51B.
Uh, you mixed up the order of your presidents there.
Bush illegally invaded a country under false pretenses which lead to the death of hundreds of thousands of people (funny that you never hear that mentioned in the US, just the American casualties) and the rise of ISIS.
The problem is that voters believed the president has much more power than the position really does. The US does a great marketing job to push that line with things such as "the leader of the Free World" and "the most powerful man in the world." But in reality the president has to negotiate for most of what they want to achieve. And when they have to do that with people that don't want to negotiate then not much gets done.
Though some of the things he was saying were over the top and you pretty much expect that from anyone trying to get elected. I don't think he's great. He looks a lot better because of his predecessor. But then you could have put a sack of potatoes in the Oval Office and it would have made a better President than Bush.
It's not whether or not you are a target. The issue is what the government is doing on your behalf. The people elected and those in the public service are to uphold the fundamental principles of the nation in the most efficient manner. If they aren't doing it then there needs to be an mechanism to remove them.
And nothing stopping UK residents from popping over the channel and buying a phone over there. All phones need to have a common charger in Europe. Unless the UK government forces manufactures to mark the phones as made for sale in the UK, like Canada does with the CA Number for textile fibre products, then there's no way to tell where a phone came from.
Having someone direct traffic isn't such a bad idea. Yes it's expensive and sucks for the person when the weather is bad. But they can respond better to the traffic to keep it flowing better. How often are you stuck at a red light and there's no traffic in the other direction? Around here they use police officers when the lights go out or there's an accident. If they did the same thing it would create a big positive police presence. The officers would be out of their cars and in the community interacting with the people.
I'm not saying that we should do it, just that it may not be as daft as it first sounds.
I turn off the geotagging if I'm posting a picture to social media or going to use the picture in a for sale ad. I don't want everyone to know where I live, especially with the ads, and I don't trust the sites to remove it for me.
I saw a TED talk where someone from Twitter was saying they take out the geotag information from pictures for our privacy and everyone applauded. I thought it was kind of stupid since you can have Twitter state where you sent the tweet from so it kind of undoes the removing of the data. Most of the time people are going to be tweeting the photo when they take it so taking the GPS info out of the photo only to add it to the tweet is sort of self defeating. (Yes, I know you can turn it off but not everyone does.)
Yes because the most intuitive thing when I want to STOP my computer is to press the START button. It only became intuitive because we got used to it. At first there was a lot of confusion and jokes make.
It may have been technically great but it looked terrible and clunky even compared to Windows 3.1. I'm not a fan of Windows (any version) because I'm constantly fighting with the interface. I didn't have that problem with OS/2 but it really needed some polish.
I remember that WordPerfect ran faster under OS/2 than it did under Windows. This would have been in 1994 so I don't remember what version of OS/2 that was. I always liked OS/2 but thought the UI lacked a lot of polish.
If they provide a security deficient version of their products for the UK then every other government will demand to have the same thing and we'll all be forced to be running them or use old phones without updates. Google and Apple need to stand up to this draconian law.
