I get the reasons why they would want to prohibit people from having loud, obnoxious conversations for everyone to hear... but that should be an airline policy issue. If it is technically safe, then it should be allowed by the FCC. I have no idea if you could get a data connection, but it would be nice to not be locked into the airline's offerings.
I was a heavy Uber user for years. I understand why they would like to collect additional GPS related information, but their decision to take away my choice and force me into "no GPS at all" or "GPS even when I'm not using the app" was a clear "f**k you" to its customers.
I contacted their customer service and let them know why I was leaving their platform and switched to Lyft.
The rest of the news about the organization in the months since may not have been enough for me to stop using the service, but it has reinforced my choice (i.e. if they reversed their position on GPS, I don't know if I would switch back right now)
AV is just part of the reason that we use SEP. It also allows us to do things like control access to USB devices, lock down which processes can be ran, etc.
I agree that the traditional AV portions of the product have questionable utility.
I'm not keen at having any more cameras pointed at me -- but if there was something very simple like an IR sensor that can detect presence/motion/etc, then this might be useful....
Both employers and employees should be courteous and provide two weeks notice. That may still translate to, "This is your last day, but we will pay you for the next two weeks."
So in my opinion, the answer to this is highly dependent on the employer. If the employer is reasonable to people when letting go of them, then the employees should show the same respect. If the employer does not treat people well on the way out, then the social contract is broken.
"Smarts" on televisions are like factory stereos in your car -- a poor substitute usually lagging behind the technology curve. Why would you want to rely upon the smarts of a $$$$ device when you can plug a $ or $$ device into it with all the brains that you can continue to replace/upgrade as needed?
Firmware updates for the TV are the best reason -- but that could be addressed by periodic maintenance.
... if I pull code or a solution from an Internet source, I always include the attribution. I don't do it for the author's benefit. I do it because it can be helpful to someone else reading my code in the future.
As I recall they achieved this by "cheating" and broadcasting noise on the channels in order to generate more RF energy (i.e. there wasn't enough power because unless you probably aren't transmitting 100% of the time)
I think it is pretty open/shut that these are his photographs and his property.
That said, the school probably has a leg to stand on when it comes to protecting the privacy of it's students at school activities.
It would be a reasonable general rule (that should be enforced as such and not just applied to one person) that you cannot publish photos of students on the Internet taken at school events. They can presumably enforce this for students but they would presumably need to also enforce a "no photos" policy at games/etc with the parents (i.e. in order to attend the game, you must sign this waiver).
If student privacy is the real issue, then they need to follow this through all the way. Half measures seem less likely to be enforceable or even useful...
Just because some vague articles and politicos point the finger at North Korea doesn't mean that it's true. I'm not making any assertions about the truth at this point, but we should be careful before jumping to (potentially violent) conclusions based on hearsay.
"But in their initial public statement, whoever hacked Sony made no mention of North Korea or the film. And in an email sent to Sony by the hackers, found in documents they leaked, there is also no mention of North Korea or the film. The email was sent to Sony executives on Nov. 21, a few days before the hack went public. Addressed to Sony Pictures CEO Michael Lynton, Chairwoman Amy Pascal and other executives, it appears to be an attempt at extortion, not an expression of political outrage or a threat of war."
It is one thing to install software on your own computer that serves modified content. When you start serving the modified content to other people, I believe that creates the difference.
If comcast can inject ads, then there would be no problem with ISPs offering "Advertising Filtering" proxy servers for their customers and serving them sanitized content.
Agreed. The US refused to purchase equipment from Chinese technology companies because of security concerns. Now the tables have turned and we mock them for being isolationists?
The argument for running a windows firewall *in addition* to physical firewalls is that you create a "soft underbelly" if the individual servers do not have their own defenses. Say someone compromises server #1 -- now they can attack server #2 - #4 and have access to a significantly larger threat surface (i.e. Server #1 has direct access to ports on #2 - #4 that you wouldn't want an attacker to see).
The basic principle is - keep your attack surface as small as possible from as many attack vectors as possible. This means inefficiency and overlapping defenses.
Pretty sure these people haven't spent much time in the courts....
I was sued for defamation by a company over content that someone else published on their site. I was included in the lawsuit because I provided the owner/operator/content-creator/everything of the other site a web analytics tool I created (before the days of free Google Analytics). This was enough to confuse the courts and put me in the position where best case scenario, I spend $40K+ and I "win" and worst case scenario, I spend $40K and lose the case and face a ridiculous judgment.
Unless you are an unemployed lawyer with no assets and plenty of free time, the legal system is a big pile of lose-lose.
Install Visual Studio.. it has its own built in web server. You can use SQL express. If you are really worried about system resources, manually start/stop SQL server only when you are developing
The commentary on resetting passwords in windows is useful/interesting, but this article really doesn't have any special relevance the cloud. Whether or not the storage is a local physical volume or "floating around on dem internets" doesn't make a difference.

Microsoft's filtering may not be the greatest, but if your upstream spam filters aren't amazing, they work reasonably well.

I believe the Roku 4 supports Netflix at 4K. I suspect the Tivo Bolt does as well.
Urgency without transparency is the issue...

Your likely options are:
1) relay all of your email through Comcast's SMTP gateway (this is what I do w/ TWC)
2) host your mail server elsewhere (extra $$/mo)
I think it is.

I'm not going to argue that C# is faster than C++, but 1000x seems a bit surprising. I'm also not sure why you say that C# requires a desktop OS?
They aren't selling the software they are selling their time to install it for you. Big difference....

I used their system for a while. It worked adequately enough although if there was a break in, I'm not sure what I would have actually done...
