More precisely, Musk gets government to heavily subsidize his companies, particularly SpaceX. That's very different from what people like Thacker used to do
No, the vast majority of the people of Raqqah are just ordinary people that want to live a decent life, just like most everyone else all over the planet.
And your evidence for that is? Historically, that entire region has been about either Muslims persecuting non Muslims (Christians, Yazidis, et al), Arab Muslims persecuting non Arabs - Muslim or not - like Kurds, Sunnis persecuting Shia wherever they are in the majority (like Saudi Arabia), Shia persecuting Sunnis wherever they are in the majority (like Iraq, Iran) and so on. The people of Raqqah are no different. They threw their lot in w/ ISIS b'cos like most of their Sunni compatriots, they can't stand the idea of an Alewite regime in Damascus. Incidentally, the converse is true as well - the Alawites know that if the Sunnis came to power, the Alawites would be massacred
What you're proposing is genocide. I have no idea what PCMC sensibilities are, but yes, I'm all in favour of having a major cow over that. And that's just based on ethics, there's also the point that levelling a city is a very effective way to create terrorists.
It's called war. Genocide would be if a city w/ only civilians but no fighters were to be massacred - something like the recent Syrian chemical weapons attack. But if in a city you have a mix of terrorists & civilians, you level it, and the civilians are collateral damage. Throughout history, innocent civilians have died in wars, which is why one tries not to have them in the first place. But if they are fought, the consequences have to be recognized - that innocent civilians are going to die in the process. Once they make an example of any place by levelling it, ISIS will realize that using human shields is useless, and they'll resort to other tactics. Thereby, ironically, such massacres would minimize future hostage situations where Jihad terrorists try to blackmail those Geneva convention complaint armies into not attacking them.
Citing military officials, the Times also reports that "locking Islamic State propaganda specialists out of their accounts -- or using the coordinates of their phones and computers to target them for a drone attack -- is now standard operating procedure."
Locking them out of their accounts means squat - it's trivial for them to create new ones. Also, given all the cash ISIS has from the Iraqi & Syrian oil it sold, wouldn't they have enough money to buy whatever hardware they needed? As for software, a lot of it is FOSS which ISIS hackers can use just like anyone else.
Also, cyberweapons are completely useless in separating terrorists from their human shields, which is the reason Raqqah hasn't already been overrun. Everybody has a major cow over civilian casualties, despite the fact that only one side - ours - is concerned about that. But the people of Raqqah are not innocent bystanders: they are Sunni opponents of the Assad regime and support ISIS for that reason. Levelling the city would be a good solution, but unpalatable to our PCMC sensibilities. At one time, Trump was fine w/ levelling the place, but has handed it over completely to Mattis, who's treating it w/ kit gloves. Despite his name 'Maddog', Mattis is very much an Islam pandering dove
As far as online goes, FaceBook & Twitter can chase accounts all they want. The real solution is blocking IP addresses from both Syria and Iraq. As it is, the Assad regime is sanctioned, so it's not like there are any innocent parties there who need to get their internet. Block that access, and monitor any communications coming out of Syria or Northern Iraq.
Fully agree w/ this. Have a iPhone7 w/ 128GB, and just upgraded my iPad mini to a 4 w/ 128GB. Now I shouldn't have storage issues for a while.
I also have a Verizon Ellipsis w/ 16GB of internal storage, and I put in a 128GB SD card. While the device allows me to store apps in the SD card, it's still Lollipop, not Marshmallow or Nutella, so I can't re-define the SD card as the internal memory like I'd like to. If only that issue was solved, I'd be perfectly happy.
Initially, when I read this, I thought that this was about Amazon somehow preventing me from doing price comparisons when I am logged into their site from my computer. To which, I thought, hey, I can just pull up my tablet and check the other sites, and then decide where to go. Seeing this story, there are 2 potential solutions. First is to do the homework at home, check out the place w/ the best deal, and then go there, and not do one's comparison shopping in the store. The other is to use one's cellular connection to do the online comparison on the phone and then decide who to go w/
Since there are different solutions that would have shifted, rather than solved the problem, why not solve this by having two fields addressing time? One being date, and another being year? Date can be a data type dependent on year, so that it'll know when to include Feb 29th, and so on. The year can be an unsigned integer starting from 0 and ending at year 2^64. That way, in the year 2^64, all that people will have to do would be make a simple change to the year field to make it 2^128, and so on.
Yeah, I'm ignoring the doomsday prognostications that predict that the earth will be toast in a few billion years: the idea is to make this a simple to solve issue in future.
We know Russia interfered in US elections, and it's easy to see that Trump is their favorite candidate, which is circumstantial, but still.
No, you don't! Nobody knows that Wikileaks got their info from Russia. This is not something where you need a 7' guy slipping polonium tablets into your drinks: any guy in his mom's basement w/ enough brains can do it, and Wikileaks is far more than that. Plus the Obama intel agencies were heavily politicized and not above manufacturing evidence to suit the claims of their higher ups.
No matter what he does or how much sense it makes, the Democrats will find a way to bash Trump. This is an obsolete piece of regulation, but Democrats will somehow spin this into something bad. Washington is turning into a massive partisan witch Hunt thanks to the Democrats and their hatred for anything and everything Donald Trump does. There are regulations like this that need to be eliminated, but the left cannot bring themselves to admit that Trump might do something good. You leftists should be ashamed of yourselves. The American people have spoken and want Donald Trump as President. Get over yourselves.
If anything, this story shows Trump in better light than either Bush or Obama that he finally did something about it. The criticism of not overhauling this bureaucratic requirement can safely fall on bipartisan shoulders - both Bush Republicans and Obama Dems. In truth, I doubt any of the presidents themselves took the initiative here, although I wouldn't put it past Trump to have noticed it (the person who noticed the number of door hinges in his hotels might have caught this as well). Nonetheless, it's a welcome change that they noticed it
How many legacy Unix installations are there that are stuck w/ it? Systems w/ SunOS, Ultrix, earlier Solaris versions, et al? The ones that can't be upgraded? If they are moved to the cloud, would the fix be available?
Another way that DJT is far superior to both Bush & Obama
This was the first thought that occurred to me. Now, those contractors won't be able to ask for their passports, particularly if they leave it back home. It's unbelievable how any country can allow people to confiscate the passports of their employees, making them indentured servants, if not downright slaves.
Never been a fan of that country, despite all the glitz that they manage to parade. A French-Armenian worker, who had worked 30 years in Saudi Arabia, was once asked what he thought of that country. His response: "Money can buy anything. Except civilization."
That's true for all the Muslim OPEC states, not just KSA.
If you successfully move all your emails to the newer account using Thunderbird, it won't be that difficult to retrieve the contacts. Aside from gmail, one more thing I might suggest - outlook.com. In which case, in Windows, you can use that account to log in, and the People app will automatically mine your contacts for you. If you then use either Thunderbird or Windows Mail, you won't have to see their ads.
From what I recall, Munix - the distro that Munich created - is a Debian offshoot. Since the security is coming from upstream, what's to prevent them from just depending on debian for their security updates? And if they want more than that, they could have a group of admins to port OpenBSD security utilities to their OS.
And why would newer features matter? It's a work environment: they don't have to suddenly add support for, say, snapchat in the OS. Just create an OS, have a secure and stable base, and have everyone work off from that.
But Microsoft has already done that w/ both iOS and Android, and IIRC, those applications even exist on OS X. So it wouldn't be a first of anything, and they'd still have a steady income stream of people paying them for an annual Office 365 subscription.
Also, is Exchange a part of what Munich was on? B'cos if that was, they'd never have gotten off Windows in the first place. For group work, there are plenty of Android utilities that would work - all of it doesn't have to be on the desktop, and besides, if they used something like gmail for their email, they could just as easily use Google calendar for coordinating work.
I generally disagree w/ everything they stood & stand for since the 80s, when they opposed Pershing & Cruise missiles in West Germany. However, on this one, they got it right, although there are more reasons than WannaCry to stay away from Windows

On the firmware side of things, I wish he had made the Ethernet Mac address 64 bits instead of 48.
So how many people use SpaceX? Even for the Tesla - how many people prefer that to the Toyotas or Hondas?

You mean the person who claimed that 9/11 was an inside job is incapable of blaming the US for the creation of ISIS?

Singapore? I've been there a few times, and they've always used my passport. Never had to do a fingerprint or retina scan.
