There's a typo in that summary. It should read:
Facebook has announced that their Rift virtual reality headset
They're already trying to distance their toxic brand name from it. I say call it the Zynga Facebook Superviewer and just let it kill itself based on brand name alone.
Wait.......microphones aren't magical devices that capture all sound in realtime verbatim? What next? Cameras are interlaced frames of still images subject to alteration by the iris and the digital chip that also doesn't work a thing like the human eye? Shut up, you're scaring the ignorant people!
Ohhh so the drive isn't a decryption key, it's just a monitored device and the script basically runs
shutdown/s/t 1
a second after it noticed the USB device has been removed. Clever:D
I have a computer repair business with a non-static but rarely changing IP address. We sold and activated Windows on at least 100 desktops last year and had to reinstall Windows on probably about 50 plus activate them. So if they think 100 is suspicious, they're idiots.
Doesn't TrueCrypt support full drive encryption and USB-based hardware keys for decryption? That sounds like all this "invention" does. It doesn't actually kill your computer.
"There is far more integration with cloud."
So you're saying it has absolutely no application to any business that wants any level of privacy or Microsoft account management and access control. Great marketing plan.
Sorry to be harsh but it's true. Facebook disallows uploading of PDFs or document filetypes or animated GIFs for any sort of collaboration or group communication. There is absolutely no technological excuse for that. Twitter's limit needs to be upped to about 300 characters to say anything useful. 100% of their users agree. Unfortunately the higher ups can't seem to pull their heads out of their asses. Both FB and Twitter constantly try to stop users from linking to offsite content. How about allow it on your own website!!!
So now that's what they claim they're doing and yet I know they'll screw it up too badly to be useable. They'll stuff it full of ads, break 10 different countries' laws with it, Zuckerberg will say something offensive and blatant about it and piss off the board, and it will be inferior to even the garbage pile of a site design known as CNN.com. The real solution is to fire everyone who keeps making these horrible decisions about the way super massive sites are designed.
Teenagers don't have properly functioning frontal lobes so they're practically incapable of planning future consequences of their actions the same way an adult or a 10 year old can. That said, usually selfish, cheating, douchebag teenagers grow up to be unsuccessful, annoying assholes so they might as well get him started with jail now instead of later.
I have a better idea. Fuck you, it's $1000 to encourage assholes in Russia to steal more money from more Americans. Nobody should EVER pay that ransom.
"After all, most cheating on consoles has been eradicated"
BULLSHIT! People cheat constantly. It's either modding, glitches, file manipulation, modded controllers, artificial network delays, packet manipulation, etc and the only difference is console makers can't go anything about it because it's a walled garden instead of a real computer.
I had an elderly customer stop into my computer repair shop. He had a laptop with XP. It caught cryptowall 3.0 and all his files are now permanently irrecoverable. I told him XP was unsafe to use on the internet and he insisted that it "works just fine," you know, because he know more than me about computer security...while his laptop is sitting here with a virus on it. He said a ton of people have told him to stop using it and he ignored them all. He drove here in a REALLY expensive car by the way so I don't think money is an issue. He's just a stubborn, arrogant asshole.
Now how many people do you think told the guy in the story to switch off of dialup. I personally have had 5 people lately that refuse to stop using the "AOL Browser" even though it crashes every 5 minutes. I hate to say it but I blame the guy. He's using an outdated product and he doesn't truly know how it works and then a lack of support for the ancient product caused it to fail over to a secondary dial number that was considered long distance.
Here's an experiment that will always reproduce the same results:
1. psychologist thinks they're right
2. psychologist gets mediocre stats that sort of support their claim
3. psychologist messes with the numbers and eliminates "incorrect" data to make their point appear more supported
How did they even find investors or loans or any money at all? "Do you have permission to use the music on your site?" "No" "Okay, have a $10 million loan!"
"the material-support provision – would represent a significant step backwards"
He's right. Providing material support to terrorists should be legal.
I mean seriously, is he dumb or something?
The console price was absurd. Simple, cheap games on Android were designed to run on simple, cheap hardware and it's usually kids and the elderly joining that gaming market while I'm here playing Skyrim. You can't throw a console that expensive at that target market. For example, the Avatar Sirius gaming tablet that I got cost $65 and it's amazing. You can't compete with that.
So they basically need to open a PDF file and the ipad crashed while doing it. That sounds about right. They should have gone with a cheaper and more stable Android tablet.
So price-wise we're talking chunk of metal vs optics + power source + inertial dampening material + possibly motors or servos + precise machining + better purity metals. Sounds like a price difference of 10,000,000:1.
When I go on WebMD or wikipedia, I always apparently have a rare jungle disease or cancer based on my symptoms:P In reality it's usually lack of sleep or too many tacos. So self-diagnosis isn't usually great, but they are true that people charging 10 million for an MRI device is RIDICULOUS. It's all insurance money so nobody cares, which messes with the supply and demand system.
When someone's computer breaks, they bring it in to my shop with a list of symptoms, error codes, etc and then I fix it. That actually does work. So I could see self diagnostic cheap equipment working.
This is hopefully a big step against DLC in general. I don't care if the company or a person made the content. I don't want to pay for it. I don't find it completely wrong as a concept, I just don't want to pay $180 to play one game. Look at Modern Warfare 3. It was a hacked up, glitchy pile of garbage full of cheaters flying through the air with unlimited ammo and the company uses their $100+ mil to do nothing about it. I would pay for C&C Generals Zero Hour because it's bigger than the original game but CoD will get my money when hell freezes over. I'm REALLY hoping that this utter stop to paid mods starts to kill corporate DLC too.
What a complete and utter shit post. It's psychosomatic or the caffeine making you feel "different." Or a giant list of other things. Insulin is NOT released by substances that are not sugar. Your digestive system is smarter than that. Also, it only is harmful to your brain if it's mixed with a lot of MSG.

My fingertip is the size of a dime. It can't be done. Stop trying to do it, it's not going to happen.

I'm head IT manager and I dislike most cops. Wow, you must be a profiler!

You know what might be an even better idea than tracking movement and gathering intel? DOING SOMETHING about the rioters.

They're close with some properties but metals and ceramics have COMPLETELY different bonding methods, don't they?
