There are many problems with trying to do this. As TFA demonstrates, most people don't understand the difference between radiation from x-rays and emitted by coal and nuclear plants, for example.
Number of deaths are not the only factors either. Non-fatal healthcare costs, lost productivity... And the manner of death. It's different if it's one person who dies quickly and painlessly, or a long slow suffering over years. We had this debate with smog and drinking water.
In any case, this is just an attempt to boost industries that pollute a lot in a variety of ways, by cutting their costs.
It does happen sometimes. There was a case where some kid with developmental problems was banned because he used a memory card (remember those) to copy a save game from his friend in order to unlock stuff in his copy of the game, and then went online. I guess it was back in the XBOX 360 days or even the original.
The worst part is that Microsoft doesn't just ban you temporarily or just your account, they ban your XBOX. They basically remote brick it as a usable games machine and it's impossible to appeal. A few people have had luck taking them to Small Claims Court but even if they get the money for the console and all the stuff they purchased on XBL back they still lost a lot of time invested in that account.
The worst aspect was using a slot loading drive with no emergency eject pin hole. When music companies started making those discs that looked like CDs but were loaded with malware they would prevent the soft eject key from working, meaning the only way to recover was to dismantle the machine.
The Cube was actually one of the smallest cock-ups made on Jobs' watch. Others include:
- iPhone 4 "you're hold it wrong" - Apple Maps - iPod battery replacement - iTunes - Final Cut - "Made for iPod" not working with the iPod - Internet Explorer - Impossible to eject CDs
There isn't really anything magically better about Apple design that makes them less prone to these kinds of mistakes, they just have better marketing to spin the way people think about them.
They probably aren't permanently storing it, the hackers likely got in to the web back end that hands the CVV and other card details to their payment processor. Normally the CVV would be stored in memory for the duration of the transaction only.
It's not actually for serious police work, it's a spectacle for tourists and a relatively cheap way to do some global advertising. Same as the expensive cop cars, the police don't actually use them to get to crimes at 200 MPH, they just make Dubai look like an ultra-luxury destination awash with money.
The UK tends to roll over to US extradition requests pretty easily. Even when they clearly violate British laws and human rights. Not just the US either, we extradite people to all sorts of places where they face torture and murder.
War was certainly a catalyst for developing navigation systems, but there is no reason why we could not have built them much cheaper as civilian projects and made things like GPS available to everyone from day one. Aviation could have started using GPS much earlier if selective availability had not been there.
It's really unfortunate that war and pissing contests are often the biggest drivers of our development. Even civilian projects like Concorde and Apollo were tainted by that, but it doesn't mean it has to be that way.
Indeed. People point to that one high speed rail crash and claim that it shows everything Chinese is crap and a failure. But actually they built the world's largest high speed rail network, and the world's largest underground network, and in record time and with a generally excellent safety record. Per passenger kilometre it's extremely safe, affordable and efficient. I'm looking forward to using it myself.
Limiting what applications can do and blocking malicious behaviour is the job of the operating system. If you need a second application with kernel level privileges just to replicate the functionality of the actual kernel, you have a deeper problem.
It's quite likely that even if convicted he would be released immediately due to "time served" being stuck in the embassy. I'm sure his legal team would argue that he is effectively being detained at the behest of US authorities.
I think he is just waiting for a chance of government. The new Home Secretary will then be able to blame their predecessors for incompetence (and to be fair Theresa May and Amber Rudd are extremely incompetent) and let him out on the grounds that its not worth spending millions to keep him there.
Well there is evidence that Russia did interfere with the election, some presented in that report and some from other sources... So yeah, you do need to provide evidence that it never happened and explain why major US government agencies are lying about it.
The fact that it is modded troll pretty much confirms that it's a bullshit conspiracy theory. If there was any truth to it there would be no need to abuse the moderation system to support it.
It's like blasphemy laws. Ideas so flimsy that counter arguments need to be banned.
You might want to update your signature. So far one is a science genus and the other is the capable, focused captain who is willing to do what it takes to win the war.
There have been three non white females. One was a good captain but killed by Klingons, one was an idiot killed by a wild animal and the third is pretty much the worst criminal in the Federation who is blamed for the war.
Maybe you confused it with the Orville, where all the white males are actually incompetent idiots (some of the time).
I used to be able to type really fast and accurately until my arthritis got worse. So as much as I actually love typing, something that isn't affected by arthritis would be nice.
I'm sure most people who can't type particularly fast would like something new too.
Yeah okay, they are all liars, blah blah. Do you have any actual evidence though? I mean, in the case of Iraq there was strong evidence even at the time that it was bullshit, but here there appears to be zero.
I mean, if there was any evidence then why hasn't Trump done anything with it? Why doesn't he fire the people behind this conspiracy against him, or start an investigation into it as he threatened to do with Hilary?
establishment authorities are making claims there is evidence and links, but no concrete details that can be checked independently.
Can you explain this conspiracy where the FBI, CIA, NSA and DNI are deliberately lying about this, going against their government? And how come Trump and the rest of the GOP are unable to do anything about it, even after firing one FBI director?
Look, I don't like those guys either, but you are alleging a vast conspiracy that is trying to topple the US government, but which the government can do little about, and your only "evidence" is that they didn't publish enough details of their investigations to satisfy you.
The DNI report does actually contain a lot of detail. There is independent evidence, like accounts that claim to be westerners but only post during Moscow office hours, or op-sec failures like "Antifa Boston" forgetting to disable geotagging (Moscow again).
The foundation of the accusations about Russian interference are the FBI, CIA and NSA investigations of their activity on social media, funding and meeting with American citizens. It's all in that report, why don't you read it?
What does the DNC emails have to do with Russian inference? Your entire argument seems to be that because you found some fake thing everything else no matter how unrelated must also be fake.
This seems to be a standard tactic of alternative fact peddlers. CNN made a mistake once, therefore everything they ever reported is fake news.
We also assess Putin and the Russian Government aspired to help President-elect Trumpâ(TM)s election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him.All three agencies agree with this judgment. CIA and FBI have high confidence in this judgment;NSA has moderate confidence.
Moscowâ(TM)s influence campaign followed a Russian messaging strategy that blends covert intelligence operationsâ"such as cyber activityâ"with overt efforts by Russian Government agencies, state-funded media, third-party intermediaries, and paid socialmedia users or âoetrolls.â
The extent to which Trump was involved in this has yet to be determined. The investigation is on-going. It seems that some of his staff did meet with people working for the Russian government and communicated with them in other ways, but to be fair that in itself isn't proof of actual collusion. Trump and his team may well be victims of Russian government manipulation too. It certainly undermines his victory.
We don't know the full extent of this for some time, and even then the way Trump has interfered with the investigation means that any conclusions are unlikely to be accepted now.
Even if they do work well (which is debatable) the fact that there is now a booming trade in straps that help you avoid losing them is rather telling. As ever it's form over function.
It demonstrates what a dick move removing teh headphone jack is. Rather than spend an extra $1 on a waterproof headphone socket, they decided to save a buck and charge you $20 to offset the loss of functionality.
I'm glad I got an original Pixel XL for less than half price on sale. The new one is actually worse in many ways, and doesn't add the only features that the original lacks: SD card and wireless charging.

They have been able to do that from day one with the built in URL checking safety system.
I'm calling it. Chrome is a great OS, it just lacks a decent web browser.

I started doing that after the Snowden leaks showed that GCHQ was actively attacking users of this site.
You shouldn't need anti-virus software at all.
Limiting what applications can do and blocking malicious behaviour is the job of the operating system. If you need a second application with kernel level privileges just to replicate the functionality of the actual kernel, you have a deeper problem.

Extraordinary claims...

Actually the evidence is mounting. This article has a good summary with plenty of links: https://www.theguardian.com/us...
I find this report by the Director of National Intelligence particularly interesting: https://www.dni.gov/files/docu...
