One upon a time, power utilies ran their lines underground. One result of this is that idiots in backhoes and other similar events would disrupt power.
Underground lines may be less vulnerable to disruption, but they are not immune. Plus, I don't think very many countries have their high voltage distribution lines underground for long distances.
I'm not sure how the "smart grid" is supposed to reduce power outages; most outages are caused by the last mile medium and low voltage systems, and I don't think that has enough redundancy to route around damage. Maybe they can use the smart grid to pinpoint damage more accurately? I suppose the TFA probably explains that, but this is slashdot so I didn't read it.
I think this means no guest OS. You can argue about whether the Erlang runtime constitutes an OS of sorts, but in their example they are not booting a general purpose kernel. Presumably they could port this to run on bare metal instead of Xen, although the boot times for physical hardware would never be as good as starting a new Xen instance.
This claim is, at best, controversial. Some people say that Rosalind's lab partner Maurice Wilkins gave her unpublished work to Watson and Crick without her permission; Watson and Crick say that it was in fact officially released by King's College. I'm not aware that Franklin herself ever stated that she had been robbed. Wilkins was included in the Nobel prize; presumably Franklin would have been also had she still been alive.
I think you need to balance risks. If my mail is hosted outside my home, on my ISP or on Google, then it increases the risk of it being searched by the government without my knowledge. If I set up and run my own mail server on my own machine, then I need to correctly install and configure the OS and mail server and keep up with all the security patches and spam filters, or I severely risk having my mail accessed by script kiddies without my knowledge. Or maybe I will know about it because they'll reset passwords to all my other accounts and then delete my mail.
If given a choice between exposing my mail to government crooks or free enterprise crooks, I'll take the government.
Sovereign nations don't often let other countries dictate their policies, but they quite often listen to what other countries have to say about them. The article does not say that the US threatened the EC, it just says that the US is lobbying the EC. If one country is proposing to do something that another affects the interests of another country, the latter can and should lobby the former. Foreign companies and governments lobby the US government on a regular basis, this is just the reciprocal of that.
In the US, people have certain rights to their image that are not based in copyright. The person in the picture does not own the copyright, but they still have the right to control commercial use of the photo.
I'm having trouble finding technical information about this design, and I'm curious how much of the motherboard logic has to move onto this daughterboard. For example, is memory still on the main board? If so, an x8 PCIe channel doesn't seem adequate.
I was kind of hoping that their plans for permanent disposal involved putting all the CDs in a pile and blowing them up with explosives. Or maybe using them for a skeet shoot. They could have sold tickets to that to make up for the gift certificates they were giving out.
While those hosting a private data center will have little use for this scrubbin' simian
I don't see why this isn't useful to anyone running dynamic virts; whether on private or public infrastructure. I assume the code as released depends on the Amazon API, but as long as similar functions exist in your private cloud API, it should be possible to adapt the software.
This would make email attachments and any other file upload kind of a pain. Before you can open a file in the browser, you have to copy it to your browser's sandbox using an external tool.
I can see that a 70kg TV would make an excellent home defense system. Just suspend it above the door and rig it to fall on anyone who opens the door without disarming the trap first.
The police don't care how many iphones she wanted to buy. The store owner didn't like it, and ordered her out of the store. The police were enforcing the store's right to remove someone from the store's property.
I wish they would just say something like "Of course we are spying on the French president. We spy on everyone, friend and foe alike. That's our job. And if you aren't spying on us then you should fire your incompetent intelligence staff and find better ones."
I don't see the word "manned" anywhere in the summary or article. However, a distinction can be drawn between remotely human controlled drones and fully autonomous drones. It's actually more of a continuum than a sharp divide, however.
Absolutely they are doing it because there is something in it for them: the ability to hire more highly skilled employees.
At the big companies that I've worked for, hiring decisions for software developers are made by other software developers, who don't really care about salary budgets. They have permission to hire X number of people, and they will hire the first X people who pass the interview process. If those people need a visa, the lawyers will then step in to process paperwork. The place that HR gets involved is with salary negotiation. I've never been involved in that end of hiring, so I don't know if it is biased or not,
If you are an American and applying for the same job as the H1-B worker, we will interview both of you. If you are both great candidates, we will hire both of you. If we don't have the open headcount to hire both of you, we'll find another group at the company that does have open headcount, or we will beg for more headcount. If you don't get a job offer, it's not because you're an American, it's because you didn't pass the interview. The interview process may or may not be a good way to screen candidates, but it isn't biased toward the H1-B.

So it's just like employee smart phones, then? If random devices can extract sensitive data from your WiFi network, you're doing your security wrong.
If Apple were charging the kind of rates that credit card companies charge (1-3%), a lot fewer people would have a problem with that.
Also, Apple wants to collect the fees even if you don't use their payment systems (e.g. provide an in-app link to a web page).

A wireless device that consumes power? What an original invention!
I thought that RLS had been banned in the US? Clinical trials showed that it had potentially dangerous side effects, such as questioning authority.
If they don't pass legislation, why would lobbyists keep paying them?

Since Nasuni is a storage vendor, it makes sense that they are benchmarking cloud storage rather than cloud compute.

You carry a spare serpentine belt with you whenever you drive? That's hardcore.

Not watching TV is theft, and you should be ashamed of yourself. You wouldn't not drive a car, would you?

Yes, not even the Nyan Cat video deserves that kind of treatment.

Google does not own Yelp. Beyond that, I have no idea what agreements, if any, are in place between them.
