I don't know about you, but I don't think I could properly evaluate it if I had to avoid browsing to any website where I might need to enter a password, or unzip password-protected zip files, or, well, do anything that would involve me entering a password.
Why would you use a pre-alpha release of ANY os on your main computer? Or you can download the ISO, enter the key (it's all over the net), and set up an entirely fake user account. It's not like Microsoft has the same "real names" policy as facebook.
Somehow I suspect that pirating something that's being exposed for how much it phones home might not be the smartest idea in the world.
As long as Comcast and Time Warner are competing with each other, Netflix can say "Well Comcast only charged us this much, can you lower your price?" to Time Warner.
And Time Warner will say "How nice that Comcast is giving you a break. But if you want access to our customers -- which you cannot get from Comcast -- then this is the price."
Well, maybe one day unicef will get into the extortion business. Until then, we're the people to see. Do you want access to our customers or not?
I can't support this merger given how horrible my current experience is with TWC. They've been to my house 6 times over 8 weeks and still no service. I've missed neatly 3 full days of work. It's not like I have another option either. One customer service rep canceled my order accidentally and had to start a new order.
Make sure you file a complaint with the FCC. You must know that the FCC isn't reading slashdot comments. Here: http://www.fcc.gov/complaints
is getting pretty deep.Competition?In Most areas,THERE IS NO COMPETITION! Like here where I live in Southeastern Kentucky,It is either Warner Cable or nothing.
Bingo! That's exactly why they said that the merger won't affect competition.
Old iPods let you do this. I had one that did, I don't miss it at all.
For those who think "oh I wish i had a device i can just browse as a hard drive"... well, how do you make playlist with a filesystem? I have 2 thousand files on my iPod, and I'm not even trying hard. Because some are based on last time i played them, dozens of files come and go based on metadata changes every time I sync. You want me to manage that myself? How can I have a file in two playlists, do I have to have two copies on disk? There's no real good way on filesystem only. You have to have some managing software. And at that point, you need to sync between Filesystem image and Managing software image. At that point, I'm willing to drop the Filesystem access for a decent player. I had the second gen iPod.
There's that whole "subdirectory" concept. I know, it's new and obscure so you probably didn't hear about it yet. Also, every filesystem player that I owned support.m3u playlists. Of course all that was before cell phones rendered dedicated music players totally obsolete. Those phones also support.m3u. At least Android does. I've no idea if Apple stuff does, they're not real big on using "open" anything.
That's not how it works in America. Only citizens take that risk of actually being punished for a crime. Government agencies are free to do what they want.
Visit the woman's site. Check her publication history. She's a shill. Hint: "polarbearscience" isn't hard to type into a Wordpress template.
That site is one of the most depressing and dishonest things I've seen in a while. She should be ashamed of herself.
Her opinion on walrus ecology is as valid as yours and mine. Except hers is paid for by a "think tank" that does everything it can to undermine science if it gets in the way of corporate profits.
We are so fucked.
She'll probably be elected to congress soon as it sounds like her credentials are up to snuff.
Large haulouts of walruses -- such as the one making news at Point Lay, Alaska on the Chukchi Sea (and which happened before back in 2009) -- are not a new phenomenon for this region over the last 45 years and thus cannot be due to low sea ice levels. Nor are deaths by stampede within these herds (composed primarily of females and their young) unusual, as a brief search of the literature reveals.

Whoopsie, wwf made a poopsie.
The factual inaccuracy of the claim is insignificant in light of the millions in donations they'll likely garner as a result.
Read the article. This software was "expressly designed for use by stalkers and domestic abusers". Apple and Microsoft have not expressly designed anything for those purposes.
Re read the article. You are quoting the US DOJ statement, not what the company or persons in question have said. If you go to the cached version of the stealthgenie website (since the real one is gone) that is not the case. They were marketing it to employers and parents of teens.
Regardless of your opinion on that matter, the statement you quoted appears to be a falsification.
No one is saying that. We are saying that there is commericial software that is basicly an invitation for abuse, that for a couple bucks lets anyone play NSA, law enforcement at their most depraved and stalk, harrass and intimidate people by hi-jacking their devices.
somehow its about feminism. are you fucking daft?
Next we should go after Apple and Microsoft. It's well established that 98.28% of all electronic stalkers, harassers, and domestic abusers used either Windows or osx to do it.
What the fuck is wrong with the world that the seller of a tool can be arrested because some customer chooses to use it for nefarious purposes. I sure hope people don't start using cars to commit crimes because I like having a car. Oh wait...
I'm so glad that so many people were able to participate in the extended season of Security Theatre. Too bad the iPad patron missed out. Well, at least at first...
In their defense, Apple users always look kind of shifty to me.
It means tracking translation. The Gear VR tracks your head's rotation but not translation which triggers a reflex in your brain that causes nausea.
Basically the brain knows that your head moved a certain way and what your eyes see doesn't match that. In turn, your brain decides that the only explanation is that you've been poisoned and makes you want to hurl as a defense mechanism.
Maybe not such a bad thing. A lot of gamers drink Monster, which is similar to poison - at least in flavor.
He means, we all aspire to live as if we're Putin, who aspires to live like he was Chuck Norris.
If we were directly exposed to trying to live like Chuck Norris we would die from infinitely trying to roundhouse kick ourselves in the head for trying to live the Chuck Norris. Consequently we "does not live the guy" because Putin saves us from not being Chuck Norris as he is the only man manly enough to survive his own roundhouse kick to the head.
That brings about an interesting problem. What happens if chuck norris tries to roundhouse kick himself in the face? On the one hand, chuck norris does not miss. On the other hand, chuck norris does not let anyone kick him in the face. I think it may create a big bang.
Apparently they see that disposing of food in trash bins instead of compost is a waste. I don't see the problem with the headline.
If you read TFA, the law seems to be about getting people to put stuff in the right bin. TFS makes it sound like the law is about waste. TFS seems and the headline seem to be deliberately misleading
Here's a quote from TFA:
“The point isn’t to raise revenue,” he said. “We care more about reminding people to separate their materials.”
Statements like these are mindboggling.... "Because they are no longer reporting to Wall Street, they can be more competitive." Your share holders want you to maximize profits and growth, this rarely results in wanting you to be less competitive...
Short term only, by and large. Small recently listed symbols excepting. Dell is making a gamble on something that used to be a staple in computers, and still is in autos. Develop for the high end, trickle down to the low end.
I really hope it works out for him. Maybe someday "Dude, you're getting a dell!" won't be an insult hurled from one teenager to another.
That's an interesting thought process... "some warming is natural" means "no warming is artificial."
You're right of course, it's terribly flawed logic. Just as flawed as the logic in "The greenhouse effect is demonstrable in a test tube, therefore it is the primary factor directly controlling the temperature of Earth."
Real scientists don't make such simplistic and unjustified steps in their logic. Unfortunately, because real scientists remain silent when they don't have verifiable mathematics and experiment to back a theory, we only get to hear the charlatans for whom contributory data is equivalent to understanding the whole thing.
Obviously the conundrum is that if you wait to do anything until you have such proof it may be far too late to do anything about the problem. Death for everyone. On the other hand, if you take early action and there was no justification then you wasted some money. Money spent in some "green" sector vs some other one.
The "conservative" choice is clearly to treat global warming as a legitimate threat.
Upload the file(s) as a single encrypted image file. Break that image into stripes. Store each stripe and the decryption key in a different legal jurisdiction? Not foolproof but it does make it more difficult for a single entity.
If you do that, how is the site supposed to publish your documents in the event of your death? They're going to have to get access to the data so they can do the job.
Not sure about other products, but here is the recent article about Samsung Galaxy S5.
Samsung sold 5 million Galaxy 5S phones in the entire month of May (which was evidently the first full month of sales)
The article says that it sold less in its first month than Apple sold iPhones 5S in the same month.

I know there is always a "many Android phones vs one Apple" argument. But numbers are what they are.
There's also two Iphone 6's. If you're going to break it down, you should break it down.
However, the argument is usually Apple vs Google. In which case you can count both Iphone 6's vs a given generation of Android phones.

According the summary, Microsoft is actually selling tablets and mobile phones! Who knew?!
You misread. They're making tablets and mobile phones. It's mostly just Apple and Google's partners who are selling phones and tablets.
No one is saying that.
