I thought that an earlier article said that the time frame on this whole thing was a THOUSAND years, pretty sure I read that. I think by that time they could do something much more interesting to prevent this whole thing... Besides, they will probably look back on us and think "what a bunch of stupid children, they didn't even begin to understand what they were f'ing with..."
I think everyone misses the point that they may call it a "GPS" device, but in reality, it is a "recovery device". Primarily it allows for them to be able to find the vehicle as well as disable it so that it isn't a moving target. In the terminology of the dealership, they may call it a GPS device, so in the parlance of that particular industry that may be what they refer to it as, regardless of whether or not geeks agree. People need to stop being so pedantic.
Just another opportunity for someone to game the system and screw people out of their Bitcoin... I expect a headline within the next couple of weeks/months about someone losing all of the hard earned Bitcoin because of it...
I believe that Chrome on iOS is still using the same underlying technologies of Safari, not 100% certain that it is a completely separate code base there. More like a skinning.
At least a couple of years ago, an application that did not have any background refreshes running would effectively shut down and unload from memory after 5 seconds (that's why some apps take a bit longer to come up if you swap away from them for longer than that). It is supposed to release all resources (memory, storage, sockets, etc), I imagine that it only leaves a couple of pointers in place and then drags it all back in once you switch over to it again, but I have a hard time imagining how that is much more efficient than force quitting and launching it again.
Parent is referring to "turbinado" sugar, just google for "sugar in the raw" to find an example of this. They are not referring to brown sugar as in made with molasses.
Who honestly believes that if we were implement UBI that we would dismantle many if any of those programs? I have little faith that UBI would reduce them by much if at all, meaning that UBI just added to the problem, not really solving things.
Also, I imagine that some someones running UBI are going to end up gaining power and money from running THAT program as well. how can they not.
If their software engineers are unfit for development work, how fit could these young inexperienced guys be at other IT jobs? Does it fit with the 95%, or did HCL actually find some of the X% that are worthy of actually touching someone elses equipment?
I can see it from multiple sides. One is that companies feel like they cannot find the right workers, or it takes them "too long", so they decide to spend an inordinate amount of time and money sponsoring people to get H1-B's, when if they had anyone that was worth the salt at all, they could be helping to raise up someone that maybe doesn't yet have the skill set they want, but could be training them in the mean time. Experience and the willingness of the employer to help in that education is what creates people who can reach that next level.
And perhaps there are instance where a company cannot find the "perfect" fit as far as skill set, in that case, if an H1-B is the right option, then so be it, but they should be looking to enrich their own people at the same time, helping them to learn from this person that they had to "ship in" to help with the company.
Anyway, that's all just a few aspects of it. H1-B isn't evil, but it can be used to the detriment of our country, which is what I believe the Trump administration is trying to help with. It's probably not a perfect solution, and in a country as well defined by political boundaries as our own, there most assuredly cannot be, because everyone is a self proclaimed Rhodes Scholar and knows better than everyone else. Lord knows I do.;-)
I think the point is more of that it cannot be separated from the person. You have to steal a body part to impersonate them, vs just snagging the band/ring/etc.
Not that I condone it, just speaking to one of the reasons why something that cannot be easily separated from someone would have an advantage.
And there's the rub. The carrier doesn't want someone else to patch their phones, they want, they NEED control of the devices on their network, but like others have said, they don't really give two hoots after the sale. They will do as little as is needed to keep you a customer. What you don't know doesn't hurt them.
I think what they are getting at is that when they buy a piece of hardware, and it has a button to update, that some entity somewhere has got their shit together and is going to send them an update instead of hanging them out to dry.
Regardless of who is responsible for making that functionality work, in the end it DOES go back to the carrier who is selling the POS, because the OS is tweaked to their specifications to be on their network, often times including how it is patched/updated.
This is one of the main issues that I see with the fragmentation related to android in general. Everyone has their own flavor, their own support schedule (or lack thereof), their own batch of supported patches, etc. Nobody seems to really want you to be able to just "hit a button" and update your kit.
Like it or not, it's one of the better aspects of iPhones, so long as it's still supported/supportable apple will try to get you hooked up with an update. Now, that being said, not all updates fix more problems than they cause, apple has had some bad ones, but at least they have a pretty level playing field as to being able to get the update.
I always wait a while to pull down updates from them, been burned before, but not too badly.
You'll be able to reproduce the results once you license his patent, and then perhaps you'll be under NDA or threat of death if you disclose the "secret" (he's figured out how to create a stable wormhole to another dimension where the charge is much greater than our own (see, not creating energy from nothing, just stealing from someone else)... Whoops! Hope they don't come after me)... Until then, they will likely have sole control of the technology.
I have a 40" 4K TV as a monitor, I can tell you that having a curved monitor vs a flat monitor at this size would be a huge benefit (I only have a flat screen). I find myself shifting to the left or right a little to focus on some of the text or images on my screen, or just putting up with the slight dimming near the edges). Were the screen curved, I would not have to shift at all as the edges of the screen would be pointing more toward me, rather than at the angle that the flat screen provides.
That must be why seven Android phones are sold for each iPhone.
That might be due to the fact that you can get an Android phone for free, or a couple of bucks most of the time. Now if you want an S7, sure you'll pay as much as an iPhone, but Android on the other hand, on the whole is much cheaper (you can choose what that means to you).
And you honestly believe that PUBLIC schools, the ones that you and I pay for are NOT? Perhaps they aren't quite to the degree, but I can tell you where I live that during the time leading up the elections, we had way too many teachers, and people in positions of authority in the public school system that were doing everything that they could to push their left wing agenda.
Discourse? Not a chance! You have a different opinion, bugger off! They don't want to hear about it, they would rather tell the kids how to vote, why everything that the republicans do is wrong, etc.
Truth is both sides are wrong on many fronts, neither is right, but a person is going to gravitate to one side or the other to a degree, but it most assuredly is not the job of the teacher to give ANY political opinion in my opinion. Teach the kids, give them both sides if you want to give them anything, but don't drag the needle clear to the left, and then treat anyone who wants to move the needle to the right with sheer, utter, remorseless contempt, especially when the one that disagrees is a kid whom you're supposed to be teaching.
Anyway, must have struck a vein.
Either way, I guess the end statement here is something like "Listen to both sides, do some research, don't believe the extreme on either side, it's likely wrong, and make some honest decisions that aren't forced on you by someone who wants to control your thoughts (damn aliens! Where's my tinfoil hat???)".
Mom and pops that know they need/want email that's more robust than something they could do themselves with their lack of technical know how, and don't have a geek to help them out (and not talking about Geek Squid), will probably be interested in something like this. Not everyone is smart enough to roll their own.
If Microsoft were to put out a version of IE9 for any other OS, I would bet that it would be much more similar between all of the platforms that it ran on than previous verions had been because Microsoft ACTUALLY appears to be concerned with being [more] compliant [than they had been previously] with the various standards (at least from what I've heard), vs their earlier attempts at browser lock-in via non-compliance. Not saying that Microsoft would do that (release for other OS's), but perhaps. If they actually put out a solid, fast, standards compliant browser for other platforms, they might actually give the other browsers a run for their money (once people get over the fact that it's Microsoft)

Private profit, public exploitation.
Wow, you are so incredibly deluded. I would be scared as hell to live anywhere near YOUR reality (which is pretty f'ed up).

95% Engineers in India unfit for software development
If their software engineers are unfit for development work, how fit could these young inexperienced guys be at other IT jobs? Does it fit with the 95%, or did HCL actually find some of the X% that are worthy of actually touching someone elses equipment?

Hardware... Software... Totally the same, I see why you might be confused (my sarcasm filter is broken today, so it doesn't register for me. So sad)
Holy Crap flashback Batman! I sadly remember these times, lots of people won't. We're so retro...
Then why comment on this story?
