It's also pointless, QKD does the same thing as Diffie-Hellman key agreement from 1976, but at thousands of times the cost, and without all the other security that's been added to the original unauthenticated key agreement in the forty years since then. And that's its selling point, it's really, really expensive and requires complex equipment and uses physics and quantum and magic and other stuff, so banks love it and it gets media coverage even though it's just a super-expensive step backwards by forty years.
I do too, but no thanks to the article. The title gives you no idea what a "GNOME Internet Radio Locator" is, the text also gives you no idea what a "GNOME Internet Radio Locator" is, the linked-to release announcement also gives you no idea what a "GNOME Internet Radio Locator" is, finally the link at the bottom of that tells me it's a way of finding free radio stations on the internet. Which I have close to zero interest in.
When the admins post a slashvertising article, is it too much to ask that the article title or text actually describes what's being slashvertised?
They have a lifespan of 500-1000 years and can get as old as 3,000+ years in some cases, so my suggestion is we sit back and wait to see if it happens again.
We've actually been doing this for decades, it's called a soft-focus filter, they've been used to make people's faces look better since at least the 1920s. Before that, you just left the lens slightly unfocused. So this is just an expensive GPU-accelerated (and thus hype-attracting) way of doing what you could do with a bit of glass for over a hundred years.
Only if you're using ISO 100-400 film. With modern DSLRs you can use much faster shutter speeds than that, particularly if it was a brightly-lit CES stage.
Well, it is nice to see SMSS-for-Linux follow the path of its predecessor in terms of vulns. Just wait until Poettering decides to do CSRSS-for-Linux...
Google is doing it purely for business reasons, they hate competition. If you see ads, they should be coming from Google, or at least paying Google, not some third party with no financial connection to them.
Speaking of Chinese and copying, I've seen (fake) western antiques produced in China by people who were obviously unfamiliar with the western alphabet, in that they copied shapes of letters in things like latin inscriptions without knowing what the letters were. The result was sort of a Chinese tattoo fail in reverse.
So yeah, you could get people copying manuscripts who had little or no education, as long as they had good artistic skills. My guess as to why they had women do it is that they're better at precision work, which is why they were employed as recently as a few decades ago to do things like string ferrite core memory, and a few decades before that to paint watch dials.
Last night, I was wondering what exactly "American cheese" is.
It's this tasteless, rubbery gunk that, in some cases, looks pretty close to cheese.
It's really weird stuff, when I lived in the US I initially bought generic cheese (i.e. went for the most average product because their cheese looks weird and I wanted to go for the safest option), and it was tasteless rubbery gunk. So I bought stronger cheese, and it was tasteless rubbery gunk. Then I bought extra strong, mature, whatever cheese, and it was still tasteless rubbery gunk. A few months later I was on a plane stuck on the tarmac due to snow and chatting to the guy next to me, who was a cheese importer. He said business was tough, because it was hard to sell cheese with any flavour when most people went for the most bland gunk there was. So there were twenty different types of cheese in the supermarket, but all were the same bland gunk, because that's what sold.
No, because of it's one great feature, Mozilla doesn't care about it. There are what, eight people in the team, all of them probably developers who care deeply about Thunderbird, and not a bunch of we-know-what's-best-for-you UX wankers and user empowerment executives and sales and marketing managers and Asa Dotzler and all the other crap that's turned Firefox into what it is today.
That was my immediate response as well, they're announcing obscure features that maybe 0.005% of their users might care about (or even know what they are), but the one massive thing that's missing is making it actually usable. How about making 2019 the year of making GIMP less painful than an unnecessary root canal?
It's not even that, it's not "authenticating" anything except that the device vendor paid DigiCert for a certificate. Like web site certificates, it tells you absolutely nothing about the safety of the thing you're connecting to, merely that someone, whether it was a legit organisation or a hacker with a stolen credit card, decided to spend money for a certificate to lull you into a false sense of safety.
In any case it hasn't missed it's 2018 shipping window at all, there's still plenty of chance for it to ship in in Quindecember or even Vigintiseptember 2018.
We had a similar experience once with AirBnB. They'd cut holes in the ceiling to get the giraffe in, the walls were covered in copies of Shakespeare apparently typed by large numbers of monkeys, and we had to use a crane to get the Baleen whale out of the bathtub. Luckily this was just before the subprime mortgage crisis,and we unloaded the place on speculators before they discovered what was inside the pentagram in the basement.
That's kinda arguing with semantics, I didn't kill Bob, the bullet fired bu the gun killed Bob, I was just a bystander. To use TrustZone you need to run a TrustZone kernel in it, so for example of your phone has a SnapDragon CPU you get the Qualcomm kernel running QSEOS. Which happens to be riddled with vulnerabilities...

Yeah, but the Airlander 10 is still the world's largest flying bum.

Earth's north magnetic pole has been skittering away from Canada and towards Siberia,
Russian interference again, no doubt.

Years later, I was at a baseball game with a french guy. [...] I don't think he ate any more of it than the first 'dunk'.
He was probably just nervous about inviting a surrender-monkey comment...

Dear God, it's the US answer to Corsican cheese!

Actually, Tesla owners have phased plasma rifles in the 40 watt range. At least the ones in the early-experience program do.
Shady? It's not like a bunch of Pollocks run it ... oh, wait
So it's just another phishing scam?
A team for backend, frontend, Android and iPhone, devops, and then sales, accounting, HR, and managers.
Also Andrew, the guy who does all the programming. The first Evernote updates will start appearing when he gets back from holiday next week.

You may be joking with that comment, but with Australian unions this could actually be the case. For example Boeing had to redesign the two-man cockpits on their 767s to contain an unnecessary third person because the Australian unions demanded it, the only three-man 767 cockpits ever shipped.
How long before the Beckett gang tries to hijack Rio Tinoto's new conveyex?

Of course it's more power efficient, it's a zombie, they require no energy at all to keep moving.
