He was from IBM and not very flexible. If he didn't like it, I had to change it and most of the changes were down to network seperation. The end result was rather solid so aside from a few 12 hour days, I have no complaints.
This is how it was for the company I worked for a few years ago. The auditor walked in said "it's secure but it doesn't meet the standard" and I had to spend the next 3 days reworking my network setup in order to pass.
Both you and TFA are both missing the point of what's going on here. It just doesn't matter if the basic package sucks because the cable providers must now offer "a la carte" pricing for the rest of the channels instead of forcing you into bundles. The upshot of this is that basic cable is now $25 and if you only watch 5 or 6 stations, you buy them one at a time without having to get a package that includes 20 channels you can't be bothered to watch.
Those calculators only need a few milliwatts of power to operate, so can be quite inefficient and still get the job done. Indoor solar cells would have to be pretty efficient to be worth the cost of installation.
But then they mention using this graphene breakthrough "to power smart sensors and IoT devices without the need for batteries or wired connectivity". Why would sensors and IoT devices use more power than a calculator of old?
Mostly because the calculator of old never had to communicate with the outside world.
No, some boys in my class also sucked but weren't as visible with the meltdowns. Also I've known some excellent female coders so it's really not a gender thing.
More importantly, It requires step by step logical thinking and not everyone can learn to do it in the first place. I will never forget this poor girl who got stuffed into my grade 11 CompSci course. I'm sure to this day her parents were pushing her into it because she could go to Silicon Valley and make a fortune (this was right before the.com crash) She was bright in all of her other courses and she really tried but just couldn't manage the course. The stress brought her to tears on multiple occasions.
Considering I met a consultant who had to deal with Target.. They didn't even bother with any security let alone "good enough for now" security but that's beside the point..
In most of the rest of the world, if they skim the card info from the payment system they can't just throw it onto a new card since chip and pin cards are much more difficult to duplicate. In the one successful replay attack I've managed to find out about the stolen info could only be used on hacked chip and pin terminals making the thief pretty easy for the banks to find after.
Mag stripes on the other hand, can be duplicated using less than $5 worth of equipment, in fact I had a friend in high school duplicate his ATM card onto his library card because he was bored.
American cards have chips but it's chip + signature and they don't use it. Last summer my friend came to visit me in Canada and I had to explain to him how to use the chip portion of his card,
In Spain, I had to show ID with every card based purchase in a store even if it was chip and pin. I can only imagine it reduced a lot of thefts like this.
"Is there a way to get systemd to not throw away... stderr? This is driving us nuts when we have about six hundred Ubuntu servers, and simple problems are harder to solve because stderr is not displayed in the terminal or saved in the journal. "
How on earth did this troll comment ever make it to the questions? Systemd does not throw away stderr. I have never seen it happen on even my oldest test machines or any of the servers I maintain (combination of Debian, RHEL and Centos) Debugging failed services using stderr on systemd is actually something I have used quite a bit when trying to figure out what config change broke something.
No, the issue is that there is no one in Sweden who can legally make that assurance. If the US were to make a case for extradition while he is there, that would have to go through the Swedish courts and no one would have the right to override that.
The reality though is that Sweden is far less likely to extradite him to the US than the UK so the entire argument about extradition to the US is nonsensical. If the Americans had wanted him they would have applied directly to the UK government..
It just blocks the autoplay and you click on it to get it moving which even helps on video sites when I open a few videos in tabs. For me personally, I don't usually mind seeing ads, it's mainly the animated, blinking or noisy ones I hate.
Could it be because it's still going to have a "fuck it, you drive" mode which passes responsibility to the human so Google can claim they're not responsible?
Well no, if it had a "fuck it, you drive" mode then there would need to be no regulatory changes. Also, it's right in the article that Google wants to avoid the driver panicking and taking control of the car when something goes wrong.
As long as your fixing things.. do you think you could fix the download links to not be hostile to "wget"? Being able to paste the download link into an ssh session on a remote machine tends to be a huge time saver.
I could never downgrade to using a laptop screen for a dual monitor setup. I prefer to have the screens next to each other (dual 22.5") on a proper ergonomic stand since I spend many hours on working and staring downward will cause a massive neck cramp.
Also, only an american would assume I do most of my travelling by car.
Actually Hotmail/Outlook etc have a pretty bad false positive rate. For my clients, I have far more complaints abut personal email from my server being redirected to the Junk folder from Hotmail users than from any other provider and that's on top of the once a year ban my mail server.gets from Microsoft where everything bounces until I email them and they remove the block with no feedback as to why it happened.
That.. is the single most misguided reason I've ever heard for choosing a laptop over a desktop. My desktop PC was built with quiet components If I push the graphics really hard (games, not HD movies) I can hear the fan on that start up.
For my trouble, I get more RAM, a more powerful CPU, better graphics, and far more expansion ports and my laptop stays on a shelf unless I'm travelling or I need an on site computer for a contract and in both of those cases size really does matter..

In Canada the postal company took care of it. It's called Epost and I can file everything there.
It's Microsoft. Data loss from lack of backups is has happened to them before. Unfortunately they didn't learn from past mistakes.
Come December, they will be forced to offer each channel as it's own option instead of in bundles. This is only stage 1 of that plan.
Mind you, I can't be bothered.,. It's been a good 13 years since I've paid for any service that offers me TV in "channel" form..

This is why I prefer the chip and pin terminals that ask you to input the tip. Some of the newer ones allow you an enter an amount or a percentage.

The "I read your email" shirts aren't a joke
I had a co worker complain about that shirt. Apparently "I don't like your email" is not an acceptable reply.
I'll take any of that over the time I found a pic of my overweight manager naked and sitting on some woman's face.
Not true. I have been blocking html5 animations in Chrome for about 2 months now.

If you can monitor things you shouldn't, the problem is with the insecure communications system not with the hacked walkie talkie.
