I hope George turned them away saying "you've dug your own grave with the TFA and TLJ and I'm not taking the blame for another bad trilogy. I'm going to go swim in my money bin now and get off my lawn!"
Rogue One was pretty darn good, it's the best of the Disney Star Wars films by far. I often see it called a bad movie and the only reasoning being bad characters and bad pacing but I don't see that. Compared to The Last Jedi it's a master piece. TLJ is a festering turd of a movie.
I'm sure it's not about speeding up the process at all. I think anyone can see through Ticketmasters BS. I bet you'll only be able to resell tickets through Ticketmasters own official market place for resllers with Ticketmaster taking a cut of course. Don't get me wrong scalping and fake tickets are a real issue but there's nothing about this move from Ticketmaster that's of real benefit to the customer just them protecting their own interests aka profits.
To stop scalping could be useful but if I buy 5 tickets for my family, 2 adults & 3 children, I wouldn't want my children's facial data in some database controlled by Ticketmaster of all people. Ticketmaster aren't exactly a glowing example of good corporate citizenry and knowing them they'd find ways to monetise this additional data.
Scanning a ticket is never the slowdown at the entrance to a venue where I live. It's security do bag searches of people in front of who want to bring them into the venue.
Of course it isn't really about security, it's about making sure you're not bringing outside food or drink so they can gouge you for food & drink at the venue.
I've suggested to the venues that they should have lines for people that bringing bags to speed it up but they don't seem interested or "it would be confusing for other patrons".
I'm in WA. WA's economy is in domestic recession hence why the Libs got so convincingly slaughtered in the state election a few weeks back. WA is in such debt that it's lost it's AAA credit rating. So you can take from that that land tax won't be going away any time soon. It is not that high, I got stung around $2k for a property worth $650k. With the new government in such a fiscal black hole which was made even worse by the announcement of the latest GST carve up where WA is now getting 34 cents instead of the expected 38 cents I'd expect that land tax would go up considerably. As far as mining royalties go WA only get's 25 cents per tonne of iron ore. One of the election platforms by the Nationals was to raise that royalty to $5 per tonne. The big miners through the CME ran a massive $2 million scare campaign about it which ultimately lead to the Nationals leader & architect for that royalty hike, Brendon Grylls, loosing his seat in the Pilbra. I'm not sure about other minerals. I should know with gold as I do work for a gold mining company. 25 cents per tonne when the current iron ore price is about $88 USD is pathetic.That 25 cents was set in the 70's so it does need adjusting.
There is land tax in Australia. It's collected by the state so the rules vary but where I live land tax applies if you own more than one property. My wife & I bought a new house and did some major renovations which took nearly a year before we moved in. Now our old house is up for sale and the Office of State Revenue came calling for land tax because we owned two properties at midnight June 30 2016. There is heaps of exemptions around if you own two properties & are building a new house or renovating a house that is in a unlivable condition but some how we managed to not fall under any exemption and now have to pay land tax and I'm not happy about it either.
I think you've hit the nail on the head with this. When I first got my Airport Extreme N, it was the only device out there with 802.11n that I could get my hands on so I could connect my shiny new 802.11n enabled laptop to the home network. These days the ISP's give you a wireless router when you sign up and most people just use that. I also got an Airport Express 2nd Gen so I could use AirTunes via the optical out to my amp. Worked great. Replaced that amp with a newer version which supported AirTunes directly so I didn't need the Express anymore. It's a crowded market space and Apple don't really have any extra value any more to provide.
That's an interesting read. This caught my eye though "SMB servers with a Time Machine share point must advertise themselves through Bonjour as supporting Time Machine backups over SMB". Apple just can't help themselves at not being dicks can they.
Perhaps instead of sending out SD quality DVD screeners, WB & Co should just issue unique Ultra Violet digital locker keys to each person who's the intended target of the screener.
Oh wait, that wouldn't work because no one would watch the screeners because UV is such a dog turd of system.
Luckily my type of tumor wasn't malignant. It was the lining of the skull, meninges, growing into my brain. It's called a meningioma. My brain actually mostly expanded since the tumor was removed. Was growing for around 18 years the Dr's believe. Left it's damage. I'm now epileptic & have some speech issues. But I'm not dead so there's that.
I'm one of those sys-admins who's asked for dimming to be added to the Cisco WLC software. About 18 months ago I had a brain tumour about the size of a small orange removed. I've had a number of stays in hospital rooms since with Cisco WAP's in them. I can assure you that the LED's on those WAP's when you're trying to get to sleep are annoying as hell as they light up the whole damn room.
The whole web portal thing back then used to take a while to load over dial up so that's why I started using Google when it was back in beta after a friend suggested it. It opened up pretty quick, had a nice clean interface with out all this other garbage and then found it was actually a better & faster search engine too so it was a nobrainer to stop using AltaVista for Google. So I can confirm that's why I switched and I'd would say the same for everyone I know who was using the web then.
Actually, they have; they're just REALLY quiet about it.
There is ONE (and only one) version of OS X that is licensed for virtualization, and it just so happens to be OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) SERVER. In fact, they still offer a Retail version of that on DVD for $19. You just have to call Apple Support and know what to ask for; but I know someone who has ordered it as recent as a few months ago, and it is still listed with their Customer Service persons an an Active, Order-able part.
The Apple Part Number for this magic is: MC588Z/A . Call 800.692.7753 and tell them you want to order that Part. $19.99 and its all yours. And legal.
Sorry but you're wrong there isn't just one verison of OS X that's licensed for virtualization, read Apple's SLA docs for OS X & OS X Server http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/
OS X Snow Leopard Server is allowed to run as a VM on Apple hardware as long as you have a license for each VM. It doesn't actually state virtualization however. From the Snow Leopard SLA "You may also install and use other copies of Mac OS X Server Software on the same Apple-branded computer, provided that you acquire an individual and valid license from Apple for each of these other copies of Mac OS X Server Software. You agree not to install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-branded computer, or to enable others to do so."
The OS X Lion SLA does state that each license is entitled to 2 additional VM's on Apple hardware - "to install, use and run up to two (2) additional copies or instances of the Apple Software within virtual operating system environments on each Mac Computer you own or control that is already running the Apple Software."
The Yosemite SLA even restricts the VM roles for you - "to install, use and run up to two (2) additional copies or instances of the Apple Software within virtual operating system environments on each Mac Computer you own or control that is already running the Apple Software, for purposes of: (a) software development; (b) testing during software development; (c) using OS X Server; or (d) personal, non-commercial use"
The problem big problem with all the different versions of the SLA is that statement of Apple Branded computer or Mac Computer that must be the underlying hardware. That's fine if you're an end user wanting to run up a VM for those purposes on your iMac or Macbook. However if you want to run up OS X Server as a back office server to manage your OS X clients Mac Mini's, iMac's & Mac Pro's are not server class hardware with redundant power supplies, RAID controllers, out of band management, rack mount etc. Xserve had all of that. If Apple was serious about the business market they should sell companies a version of OS X Server that has major VM Enterprise level Hypervisor support like VMware ESXi running on non Apple hardware or partner with Dell/HP/IBM to allow OS X Server to run on some of their server hardware.
This bug has been around since IE 7? Wow, this just confirms that MS will only patch bugs once others find them and then they have to work on fixing them.
So, what's your point? IE 7 through to 11 use the same Trident layout engine so it stands to reason one security flaw could affect IE 7 through to 11. Heartbleed was in OpenSSL's source for 3.5 years & Shellshock was in BASH since 1989 before anyone found them. Bugs can exist in software for years whether they are open or closed source.

No, it was a Nokia 6210 at first, they were doing it back in 2002. A Blackberry z10 is what she was given with Secusmart Micro-SD card with extra security features after the revelation. Blackberry has since acquired Secusmart & Germany has ordered 10000 of this combo for Government use.
Yes cars are now being manufactured with all encompassing Infotainment and HVAC control all off what was the factory head unit. Unfortunately they deliver awful sound, crap display's and when Apple decide to change their connector or protocol for iPod/iPhone in newer devices they are rendered useless for music playback because you need a manufacturer specific cable. Just have a look at Alpine's Perfect FIT solutions and you'll what lengths that after market solutions they have and what lengths they go to see what I mean.
There was already a OS-Agnostic standard for this - MirrorLink. Yet again Apple pushes another proprietary standard when an open alternative already existed. Airplay/DLNA, ALAC/FLAC & now CarPlay/MirrorLink and the iSheep will eat it up a think it's the best thing since slice bread.
Having travelled recently through the Middle East and Africa I can tell you I saw a hell of a lot more Blackberries than other smartphones. And BBM was what they were all using. Even when I was near the Congo border in Zambia where most people don't have electricty but they all had a BB or a dirt cheap nokia. In fact I had better coverage with 3 Telco's there than I do at my house in Oz. Crazy.

I read it as a ban on anything outside of where the woman "lies back & thinks of England".

Unfortunately those LED's are also really helpful for diagnostic purposes.
What about when the WAP is mounted on a suspended ceiling? Sure I just have a spare ladder I carry round. This is a problem in hospital & hotel rooms.

For the love of God, it's iOS when talking about Apple devices. IOS is a Cisco OS. This really irks me for some reason when this mistake is made.
