Otherwise known as soft links or symbolic links, which DEC and RDOS have had since 1978.
No, not the same thing (though similar in purpose). A shortcut is a file whose content is parsed by the software/OS to determine the location of the target, while a symbolic/soft link is a filesystem object that points to target.
One type is more elegant for most purposes (imo), and the other is/was heavily used by Windows.
The CEO states that "Neither Alexis nor I created reddit to be a bastion of free speech, but rather as a place where open and honest discussion can happen."
[not] a bastion of free speech, but...open and honest discussion
Wow! Steve's gonna want some Tylenol after all the cognitive dissonance!
Well, admitting it is the first step to recovery!
If "Master, you drive like ****, dude" is enough to send you into road rage, the statement is probably accurate.
I'll try not to get bogged down by the nitty-gritty
I'm not trying to argue that people don't break the law; however, as a sweeping general statement, could agree that actions that are not unlawful are more likely to be performed by the majority of people than actions that are unlawful?
The reason I think it's important to at least try to maintain privacy with regards to license plates is that they are a matter of public record and, more to the point, we've instated rules that make it much easier to make that identification STICK. This contrasts with IP addresses, which are not a "public record" and the sharing of which is socially acceptable (or in many cases even encouraged)!
That sounds like the car equivalent of a geek with a cantenna...or just a charged laptop.
First, taking someone's license plate isn't sharing it. Literally. They can't use it at the same time as you. However, I'll try not to get bogged down by the nitty-gritty; instead, here's the difference, as I see it: sharing (duplicating and using) your license plate with another vehicle at the same time is unlawful. Sharing your internet connection ISN'T unlawful, though possibly unwise.
Because multiple cars don't share the same license plate. Besides, even if it's just multiple drivers sharing one car (analogous to multiple users on one computer), the "owner" of the car should only be punished incidentally for crimes/violations committed by other people driving the car.
Well, obviously it's a poorly designed encryption or voting system (or maliciously tampered with)...after all, there's no other way a third-party candidate could win!
What the actual fuck?! What did they do before Stingrays? Not catch anybody? Good fucking grief!
The above was my initial reaction, anyway. I checked the article; seems to have been updated to say 4300 times, which is not such a jaw-dropper. Also, I'd be interested to know whether that covers every time the device was used to intercept or track a mobile device (4300 is a number I could believe, if not like) or if that was the number of court-orders/warrants obtained (4300 still seems ridiculously over-used).
I've only purchased two phones apps (so far) in my life. Prime Dice Pro (dice rolling software) on my phone for a couple of bucks, and Prime Dice Pro for Kindle (using free Amazon coins).
Too many of the apps I see just seem....pointless to spend money on.
The UK's top IP advisor has published recommendations on how Internet service providers should deal with online piracy. Among other things, he suggested that Internet services should search for and filter infringing content proactively.
Now, does the top IP advisor who hasn't been bought and paid for by the media industry/conglomerates have anything to add?......*crickets chirping*.....
Yeah, didn't think so.
Does this mean I may be able to exploit the new browser using vulnerabilities found in IE11 by calling the old engine via whatever method they'll use? After all, I'm guessing it doesn't use a white-list, at least by default. Maybe that will be an option, though.
I'm going to make a WAG and say that this was shared hosting and some idiot let himself be tricked out of the root password?
Ahahaha, no, I didn't RTFA.

You're doing it wrong.

...when an IP address does not?

I do not think "protect our freedoms" means what you think it means...
Well, obviously it's a poorly designed encryption or voting system (or maliciously tampered with)...after all, there's no other way a third-party candidate could win!
Or, along similar lines, perhaps it was encrypted using the poor encryption method inserted by the NSA into the standard? Hmm...
Didn't actually RTFA, though, so my sarcasm may be unwarranted. You have been warned! :-)

I'd settle for them blocking fake friends! :S
Obviously, he should have set it to a photo of two women kissing. Then the teacher wouldn't have been so mad!

Hahahahaha hahahahaHAha ahahaha AHAha! Ha.
With a pair of these, I'll be able to get my fat ass up and grab some more Cheetos without getting out of breath!

I only skimmed the summary.

I actually specify Google's public DNS server in my computer's network config. The router's DNS is only there as a backup.
Also: Using D-Link? *tsk*
The following patch will be to fix a piece of joke malware that makes the drone believe its ALWAYS within 25km of DC
(but it won't work)

And no, I didn't RTFA this time.
