What next, will she outlaw my freedom to fuck an apple pie if I want?
Yes, because the apple pie is taking the role of the oppressed womyn and therefore you are a male rapist (and in case you're female, you're a virtual male rapist). Also, how old were the apples in the pie? If you haven't got a Title 18, Section 2257 certificate for them you're in serious trouble.
Ah, but this isn't a standard advanced persistent threat, this is a new leading progressive radical extreme foremost precedent-setting brilliant smart flexible wide-scope refined intense dazzling acute severe maximum ultimate persistent threat.

My guess would be that something like the Russian Volleyball or Backetball federations are going to see a sudden injection of, uh, sponsorship money as Google's next step.
You're assuming they broke the law. It's antitrust,
This is Russia. It's not antitrust, it's a shakedown. They didn't pay the right people the right amount of money. So now they go back and sponsor various sports teams and federations run by Russian moguls with political connections to the tune of a few million dollars (a standard way of handling bribes in Russia) and suddenly that nasty antitrust investigation goes away again.

Fair dinkum cobber, those dunny rats are charging us prices that aren't within cooee of the US ones, it's all exy as, it's enough to make you want to hit the turps!
We all know that if you give this to cops they will shoot a 12 year old kid in the head with it sooner or later.

Remember that you're dealing with something moving at the speed of light here, combined with short distances, so the delays are so minute that you need exotic techniques like optical heterodyne detection at the receiver to measure nanosecond-level differences. In fact I'm surprised the replay attack worked at all, I'm guessing the receivers were incredibly permissive in how they treat incoming signals, given that you'd (theoretically) need nanosecond-level synchronisation for it to work.
Nearly all of them (from sonar, radar, lidar...) all are susceptible to various interference techniques.
For LIDAR it's actually not that hard to counter, instead of emitting a continuous series of pulses you emit a pseudrandom sequence. Anything that comes back that's out-of-sequence gets rejected. Since the attacker can't predict the sequence, they can't send back fake signals in the same order (assuming you're not using a crappy random number generator).
I love EEVblog, it's fantastic stuff, but Dave has a voice that's even more annoying than Cilla Black. And that might be the reason for the dislikes, that having to listen to a voice that compares unfavourably to fingernails on a chalkboard would lead to negative votes.
Forgot the name, the one that's a cross between 2001 and an interplanetary treasure hunt. That had potential.

I sometimes see just gibberish, dark marketing gibberish.

Firefox 69 the porn edition will down on you on a regular basis. Their marketing motto will be "Firefox 69 sux even more".
Years ago, back in the days of IE 6, I had a t-shirt made that said "Firefox sucks less". Your comment there just reminded me that if I'd had the same shirt done today, it'd have to be "Firefox sucks more". Sigh.
arm loses on everything except watts, for certain things, and price. but even a chip for a cheap laptop would beat an arm chip priced for a laptop.
That was certainly something that came as a surprise to us about... oh, I think it was two years ago, just how underpowered ARM chips are compared to what look like similarly-specced x86 ones. We were looking at moving to at least some ARM-based server stuff for power and cost reasons, but quickly found that they don't come close to the performance of x86 hardware (that was after spending forever on tuning and optimisation, we assumed we'd set things up wrong but it turned out that they just don't make for good server devices).
I'm not trying to bash ARM here, just pointing out that if I want to build a versatile tablet or embedded device I wouldn't think of anything other than ARM, but for a server I wouldn't think of anything other than x86 (or equivalent, Sparc, Power, whatever). They're just designed for totally different market segments.
Here's mine, rather more brief than yours since it was written purely as a memo for future reference:
Create key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\GWX, then add DisableGwx as REG_DWORD, value = 1.
Win+R -> taskschd.msc, open Task Scheduler Library | Microsoft | Windows | Setup, which has two subkeys gwx and GWXTriggers. Delete all entries in gwx, the other can't be deleted because of permissions, for this use Win+R -> tasks, which opens C:\Windows\System32\Tasks. Go to Microsoft\Windows\Setup, which is where taskschd gets its config for GWX from, and take ownership of GWXTriggers and all its subfolders. Then refresh taskschd and delete the GWXTriggers entries.
Makes much more sense to un-install those privacy downgrades.
An easier option is probably just to disable them, it looks like the sole purpose of the Diagnostics Tracking Service is to send data back to Microsoft so if you prevent it from running you should be fine.

Damn I wish I had mod points to mod stuff like this up. Everone involved in (mis-)managing Mozilla should be required to read the contents of this discussion (although I doubt it'll help, sigh).

That was my immediate reaction as well. "Evolution is the theory, but only the Holly Babble contains THE TRUTH. Praise be to Jeebus".
You can lead a horse's ass to knowledge, but you can't make it think.

Because nobody Rs TFA: This was found in Carlsbad, closer to San Diego than LA
Well everyone knows that San Diego has fossils, several of them teach maths at UCSD.
It was meant as a tongue-in-cheek comment. I love his work, but it's like listening to Steve Irwin after he's had eight espressos.

Forget about the deer, I hope they've got refrigerator trucks out there collecting all that free hamburger meat.
Don't worry, the US was already cloning elks back in the 1980s.

Mozilla said Firefox's shut-off date will coincide with the release of Firefox 44 on Jan. 26.
So they've already got a prediction for when they'll have managed to drive their market share down to zero? Wow, it's closer than I thought.
