That the federal government is going to have to step in and prohibit state/county/city/other legislation restricting internet access. Such a thing is not without recent precedent. Our state recently enacted a law that prohibits counties/cities/towns/etc from enacting gun laws so that state laws could be followed.
I remember a few years ago Verizon stopped expanding FIOS and cited just these sort of local restrictions as the primary reason they stopped. Pity for those of you who don't have FTTP service available.
A more ominous purpose existed for the Iranian space program existed, however. Iran, which is in the process of making a nuclear bomb, needs a way to deliver such a weapon.
How is Origin malware? What does it do that makes it malware?
It does have DRM but (depending on the game) its not exactly rocket science to either remove the DRM or find an existing no-DRM crack for your purchased game.
Origin gathers your personal information, computer information, application usage, software inventory, software usage, and peripheral hardware usage. It reports this data back to EA/Origin. You can Google about it or spend a few minutes and read your origin EULA.
I don't know about the US but in Ontario they use the fax a lot in the medical practice (and between pharmacies) when there is no electronic interchange available. They are not allowed to use email because it's not secure. My doctors office just has the documents go directly into their electronic system and if they need a paper copy they print it out from there.
That's a bit of a fallacy, especially if the fax is sent over VOIP as a hop along the telephone network.
oddly enough, someone emailed me yesterday asking if it's possible to attach a fax machine to VOIP. And even stranger, it apparently is possible.
That depends entirely on the VOIP you're talking about. Does not work with Magic Jack for example. Does work with Verizon FIOS and Bright House (with occasional errors). Pity on the magic jack, I had hoped to use the thing as a "dedicated" fax line. I ended up giving it away to someone.
I simply don't hear radio much anymore. My kids don't listen to it, I don't hear it in cars driving by, I don't hear it much in stores, and I certainly don't listen to it.
But the simple numbers that tell an absolute and unmanipulable truth is the advertising revenue. Every other statistic is a complete and total fabrication created in an effort to prevent the total freefall of existing sales and stock prices. A great example of these desperadoes is that they often show revenues from 2009 to the present. This makes it look like a growth industry but in reality it is a recovery from the disaster that was 2008.
Quite simply people don't want to be told by a bunch of baby boomers what music to listen to. They have a device in their pockets that gives them total control. Remember these are the same sort of people who loved putting one good song on each CD so that people were effectively paying $20 per song.
How do you propose they figure out what new music to put on the device in their pocket?
Sirius/XM? yes. Why anyone would tolerate 10 minutes of music 10 minutes of DJ chatter, and 40 minutes of commercials I will never understand.
I agree sirius is better. As for the why? It's very expensive at list prices. That is, if you aren't onto their game where you have to call and bitch every renewal. If you do, it runs about 4 bucks a month. One of their operators told me about the pricing scam when I was going to cancel a few years ago.
You know, when VR was in the spotlight the first time?
The headsets are slightly smaller. Not much, but slightly. Maybe the name should be changed as with client-server becoming cloud! With a name change everything old is new again.
The police just killed a unarmed, white, middle-aged guy in PA. By the way, this wasn't the first time. I thought maybe you didn't know that, being in your racist echo chamber.
Right but there is a much better chance of the shooters at least going on trial for the murder in this case.
The right to bear arms doesn't give you the right to actually use those arms. Just having the right to carry a gun doesn't implicitly give you the right to commit a murder (whether in self defence or not).
It does if the murdered is black. Just ask any police department in the country!
Probably not. Any hacker with two brain cells to rub together would quietly infiltrate systems in company A, from there infiltrate Company B, C & D, rinse/repeat until sufficient layers of abstraction sit between them & their target, and then use them to attack the real target. If the response of victim X is to nuke the IPs from which the attack came, they are a) hitting the wrong entity, b) potentially destroying evidence left by the real perps, and c) probably initiating a re-retaliation from the victim of their attack.

If it's cross platform to iOS then it's almost guaranteed to be a bit lame for PC. Good for sid mier's bank account; bad news for PC gamers.

LOL!
They don't have free phones where you live?
USA FTW
Hello hefty cancellation fine (or collection agency/bad credit) in the USA. Free phones are kind of like free North Koreans.

"very expensive"?
I don't think most people would consider $10/month "very expensive". It is a small amount of money by almost any measure.
Is it worth $10/month? That's a personal question... but there's no way that's "very expensive" to anyone with a steady job...
$19/month or $199/yr according to their website.
...which is still really popular. Vinyl manufacturers can't keep up with the demand of record sales.
The hipsters got jobs, apparently.

People still use the top-40 echo chamber to tell them what to listen to, details at eleven. They need netflix for the same reason.
Because having a seance is a far better way to figure out what's new and good?

I'd sure like to read the article. Unfortunately the only link in this post is a reference back to this post on slashdot. Where are the editors?
Microsoft participates in FOSS a lot more than you may realize. For instance, Microsoft is a member of the GNOME foundation
Based on their absence from the top 36, Microsoft participates less than you realize.
It means big pharm will have something to say about it..

The more features something has, the more likely an oversight in the design or implementation will prove to be a liability.
The more features something lacks, the more likely a work-around hack will prove to be a liability.
Just use the right tool for the job and you don't have that problem (in this case).
I'd like an app that'd help me diagnose bad noises my car makes
There are many. Most make use of an obd2 -> bluetooth dongle.

... and so begins Internet War 1!
Laptops, with the exception of gaming consoles. A high wattage XBox 360 with a RROD is a perfect example.
Never mind the obvious contributions of an insufficient cooling system here.
I dont think telling people you can fix a mac book by baking it will end well. So perhaps a disclaimer saying NOT to do this would be in order?
It's probably the best thing for someone dumb enough to buy and bake the worlds most expensive PC.
Sounds like a fun place to work. They have all the toys.
Whenever the CIA admits to something, I wonder, what's the bigger lie they're trying to cover up? Or, am I just being paranoid?
Citizens of other countries might think you're being paranoid. To Americans, it's obvious that you are right.
However in this case it might not be so much of a "cover up" as it is an effort to get everyone's mind off of torture.
