ChromeOS is open source. Your major issue installing a newer version of ChromeOS will be that the OS won't be signed and so will be unable to, say, play DRM'd media, but that's a symptom of a different issue.
They're still supporting ChromeOS, last I heard. What they're not supporting is some older hardware. That's fairly common in the industry, with driver updates etc frozen after a certain number of years, and more recent major operating system updates unavailable for older machines.
Even Apple does this; they usually (but not always) ensure new versions of Mac OS X run on Macs a little over five years old, but not much older.
Thornhill eh? Maybe we can solve the problem by framing him, convincing the Russians that he's a CIA agent about to uncover whatever diabolical schemes they're engaged in...
For long distances, sure. For shorter distances, the fact the vehicle can travel in a straight line may well be enough to counter the disadvantages of having to accelerate at 9.8m/ss vertically.
1. Yes, because it's harder to crash into other vehicles if you're in 3D.
2. There's no chance of this being anything other than computer controlled anyway.
I know, but, unfortunately the overt Trump supporters (who don't necessarily think of themselves or Trump as authoritarians) are numerous in this one instance. I don't think, alas, there are enough secretive supporters to make a lot of difference.
Really, with Trump, you have:
- Overt fascists
- People who have a positive view of Trump and believe he's not a fascist.
- People who don't like him very much, but consider him the nominee of their party (who they're loyal to) and who cannot stand his opponent.
In all three cases, there's no shame felt by these people in voting for him, and probably won't be unless Trump's opponents are really able to make Trump a dirty word, which is unlikely.
Yeah, unlikely. It's been a year, Trump has said pretty much any horrendous crap that's possible to think, and he's where he is. If they're not convinced he's radioactive now, they never will be.
Let me guess, you wouldn't be complaining if it was a report in the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal. All you're doing is showing that you only accept news from authoritative sources, and are biased against sites that promote conspiracy theories. Do you not realize that you can't get truth from any one source, that if you insist on getting it from accurate sources then you need inaccurate or ridiculous sources to unbias it?/s
He's not using the full SHA256 output, just the first 20 characters, so it'll never be possible to use brute force to find the original string. Ironically, if he wants his password scheme to be even more secure, all he needs to do is reduce the number of characters...
I don't think that's the problem he's trying to solve. His base password might be very, very, good (and to be honest, if it's done in this form, it probably can be), but the decision to combine it with something site/account specific, fed into SHA256, guarantees that each site/account will have a completely different, unrelated, password stored with it.
It's not a bad idea. In security terms it beats having a password scheme like "ABCot123#!" (for Slashdot), "ABCit123#! (for Reddit)", etc. It does still require a tool and generates non-memorable passwords, but at least it doesn't create a single point of failure like a password manager would.
You've just invented a consequence that has no basis in reality. Reality is opposite to what you describe.
"Free" parking still ends up getting paid for, in higher prices. It also makes transit accessible communities virtually impossible to build. It massively raises the cost of living, forcing people to own cars due to lack of alternatives, and forcing up costs for businesses.
An environment in which you're forced to use a car to look for work or buy groceries isn't low income friendly (it's not anyone friendly, to be honest.)
The problem with this is that presumably the neighbors need to use the road too, and need to use it at rush hour. Indeed, that's almost certainly half the complaint.
I have to admit I've always found password managers a cure worse than the disease. I know a few people who use the same device all the time who think they're great, but the more devices and more platforms you use, the less scalable a password manager becomes.
I notice too that you dismiss common forms of security, such as formuliac passwords, without explaining why. In practice, formuliac passwords, as long as they're not obvious and unlikely to repeat (passwordgoogle23), are reasonably secure. Someone's not going to be able to hack your bank account using your Slashdot password without close analysis, which a hacker given a a file containing a million passwords isn't going to have time for.
Very often the first stages of a lawsuit go something like this:
Plaintiff: "I am filing this lawsuit against Defendant because they didn't stand on one leg on a Sunday afternoon and should have done."
Defendant: "Throw the case out judge, the Defendant isn't actually describing a real crime."
Judge: "Hmm, but according to the statutes, CFR928.2281 paragraph 82390.12 that is, actually, a real crime. 'A person must stand on one leg on a Sunday afternoon'."
Defendant: "Well, OK, maybe it is, but the plaintiff wasn't harmed by the alleged failure to stand on one leg NOT THAT WE'RE SAYING IT HAPPENED OK?"
Judge: "True, case dismissed due to lack of standing."
(*rimshot*)
This all happens before the Plaintiff gets a chance to prove that the Defendant actually did whatever it is he was alleged to have done.
A quick look at most electronics stores shows that desktop PCs are usually sold with a keyboard and mouse, but no monitor. I'd be very surprised if the majority of people buying those things insist on buying a new monitor.
Of course, "most" ordinary people don't buy desktop PCs, they buy laptops. They rely on "geeks like us" to set up desktops, and they don't want to do that.
I do agree that it's strange that external graphics isn't a concept that's caught on. That said, Apple may suffer poor timing with the idea - Intel has been moving GPUs onto the processor dye recently AND massively upgrading their power. The HD 530, for example, has about as much power as a mid range Radeon and the only reason you wouldn't necessarily use it for gaming is that games still find the concept of integrated graphics weird (I tried it, GTA IV refused to believe mine had more than 128Mb of video memory. Once told via command line switches that, no, really, it does, it ran smoother than it does on my Radeon...)
Now, I'm not saying today you'd want a 4K monitor to be driven by an integrated GPU. But in five years - 3 generations of CPU/GPU from now - there's a very good chance that you will.
They did, but the GN seemed to be particularly bad. The T-Mobile Slide 3G, which was my prior device, could survive 10-14 hours between charges. The GN, with the stock battery, couldn't last seven! And Google execs who were asked about the appalling battery life were glib about it, saying that they just carried a spare battery in their pocket...
Yeah, the lack of upgrades was bad. The versions of Android that came out for it were never that stable either. I didn't realize how important the lack of hardware buttons were with usability until I bought my current Android device. 16Gb wasn't enough, in practice, for a device with no SD card slot and which insisted on keeping two copies of every non-trivial built-in app (original, plus update.)
And the thing was: it was widely praised. Most reviews at the time said it was a high end phone, and the equal or near equal of the iPhone, supposedly the phone to be as good as.
I was responding to your comment implying Clinton and Trump were "good for democracy" because somehow people will vote for them, not making a general comment about how awful elections are in the US.
And yes, steps should be taken to improve turn out. Mandatory registration would help, but I don't see that flying when one of the two major parties is trying to actively prevent people in certain demographic groups from voting.
The Google apps are, for the most part, the customizations, and one difference between Google Android and AOSP is that apps that come with the latter are often hidden or unavailable in Google Android. Music, for example, hasn't been available in Google Android for quite some time, with Google Play Music replacing it.
I've read, but not seen, that On Nexus devices Mail and Browser have been removed from relatively recent builds, with Gmail and Inbox replacing the former, Chrome the latter. I would assume, if it hasn't been done already, that the SMS "Messaging" app will go the same way soon, and likewise the Google keyboard has presumably already replaced the AOSP keyboard.
AOSP and Google Android are definitely different, even if you add the minimum Google Play stuff to the former. One can argue perhaps that this is necessary given Google's apparent decision to stop updating the built-in apps (although I'd like the old Music app back, Play Music is just awful), but the differences are there.

I'm in Florida. The Trump supporters have absolutely no problem announcing their support to the world over here. They're very open about it.
Bear in mind he's (practically) the nominee for the Republicans right now. That gives supporters a lot of cover.

One of the two candidates, indeed, is just such a property tycoon, and owns many hotels, some of which are yuge.

OP was talking about the PC standard, not the concept.
Arguably it never really worked. It was PCI (which had a form of PNP built in) that fixed the PC's hardware configuration issues.
