I remember Back Orifice. I hooked up Doom to Back Orifice with some custom C code. doom Hack. You could kill monsters that represented processes on remote machines. Joseph Elwell.
They're charging double what In N Out charges, which doesn't freeze any of their ingredients. I guess teenagers are cheaper than robots... Joseph Elwell.
This has got to be one of the worst articles I have read in a long time. There isn't a single example of what he's talking about.
"I won’t name names or give examples because I’m not an asshole. But also because I don’t have to. I’d wager everyone reading this will have clear and obvious examples of what I’m talking about in their own circles—even if only in their own virtual circles. This is everywhere."
Actually, I have no idea what you're talking about. Maybe you could write an article to explain yourself. Joseph Elwell.
Actually you didn't see a person on a bike. You've already shown that your eyes and brain did not process that image quickly enough to even understand what you saw - let alone hit the brakes in a meaningful amount of time. The person was alongside the bike, not on a bike. Joseph Elwell.
What a perfect response, leak the memo threatening leakers. This is not going to end well for SNAP! A great company would simply remind employees that it's in their best interest not to leak information. This sounds like the flailings of a dying company. Joseph Elwell.
I am happy to be corrected, but you CAN stare at the total solar eclipse without glasses and everything will be just fine. It's the partial eclipses that you can NOT stare at. When the moon is completely blocking the sun, take the glasses off, it's BEAUTIFUL. I get the chills just thinking about how amazing it was.
To describe the beauty is hard, but it was like fractals dancing in the sky. It looked unworldly. One analogy I heard to describe the difference between 99% and 100% is: You bought tickets for the Super Bowl but you only made it 99% of the way there. You're sitting in the parking lot missing the entire show.
My MacBook Pros don't seem to last more than a couple of years these days. Perhaps that is the nature of a portable device that is tossed about. My old 2008 Mac Tower is STILL faster than my brand new MacBook Pro with force touch. Having 8 cores helps. Joseph Elwell.
Yeah 2008 was forever ago. But this Mac Pro has 2 2.8GHz Quad Core Intel Xeons. That's 8 total cores. 12GB RAM. I have a modern MacBook Pro, but I prefer to work on my Tower when I'm not mobile. Joseph Elwell.
In particular a choice quote from an NPR story: ----
"In the '60s and '70s, no one thought that the police should be held responsible for how much crime there was," Wellford says. Back then, he adds, police focused on calls for service and solving crimes.
In more recent years, he says, police have been pushed to focus more on prevention, which has taken precedence over solving crimes — especially non-violent offenses.
In short, the falling crime rate we've enjoyed may come at a cost: police indifference when you report your stereo was stolen. ----
If it's not the police's job to solve crime, then whose job is it? Apparently it's the victim's job. Joseph Elwell.
You'll still need to sign for your packages. UPS / FedEx leave packages on my doorstep already when I'm not home. This is alot like the MyQ system (Chamberlain & Liftmaster). You can open your garage door from your phone. Joseph Elwell.
I got a job working at Netscape (Now Mozilla) because I spent my free time contributing reduced test cases to bugs through bugzilla. Asa Dotzler, volunteered his time managing people like me, and picked up a job similarly. I referred Blake Ross to Netscape shortly after I joined because he was working with us, helping with bugs. The key for all of us, was that contributing allowed us to get job training - training that Netscape wouldn't have to provide. It's tough for a hiring manager to determine if someone is skillful based on their resume, but it's easy to see how someone will fit in your organization when they're already contributing to it. Joseph Elwell.
Indeed, if you read the Kickstarter, there is no mention of "Universal Access". Instead you're helping fund a private company to build a product they want to sell to kids and schools. Sure, they'll give away some free copies to some people. But there are over 98 thousand schools in the United States alone and they want to give away 1,500 copies to classrooms (not even schools) at the million dollar level. Their stretch goal is "free access" to 7,500 classrooms. How many classrooms are in a school?! Joseph Elwell.
From another article, "Humphreys told the FCC he used the jammer to keep people from talking on their cellphones while driving. Talking on a cellphone while driving is legal in Florida, even without a hands-free kit, though texting while driving is banned. Using a cellphone jammer is illegal for everyone but federal law enforcement, regardless of intent, according to the FCC."
A moving jammer, that doesn't center on the phone caller seems more disruptive rather than less. If your call drops while in motion you're going to retry. This is more helpful to prevent calls in the first place - but even that means they go for their phone. It seems to me the talking isn't the distraction AS much as the dialing. Joseph Elwell.
For starters the main story is down, and no cache appears to be available. But from the other 3 viewpoints here's what I takeaway: A person whose job it was to make the "story" aspect of the videos engaging asked a purposefully hurtful question to incite conflict (since conflict sells). Rather than consistently using that as a launching point into educating the masses (people who will be watching the videos - obviously the person asking has no need for education) the teams decided to SHUT DOWN. First they shut down by ignoring future incursions. Then they shutdown entirely. Seems like the guy was giving you a soap box for you to talk on. Joseph Elwell.

And before it's a story it's old news.
Pretty sure that quote is only half true. Snowden has mentioned OTR in the past. I doubt he specified IronChat.

It should probably be pointed out that police aren't in the business of solving crime. Take a look at Clearance Rate.
