Samsung is no better than Apple nowadays. They used to have a replaceable battery, which gave them a big advantage but they lost it when the S6 came out.
According to iFixit, the iPhone 6S has a much better reparability score than the Galaxy S7. (7/10 vs 3/10).
Well, maybe because NASA considered this with Saturn V for Skylab. Finally if was deemed more effective to build to station on the ground entirely rather than to recycle the used fuel tank.
They can't really ban them from passing on this cost. Unregulated taxi companies like Uber are free to set their price, which is part of what make them different from actual taxis. What they don't want is the tax to appear anywhere in the bill or driver contract. It is a form of consumer and driver protection, they don't want the ride to become a confusing "$10 + tax", but I don't see how they can't prevent the price from being "$10.20". And for the drivers, Uber can't just add 0.20$ per trip to the commission without first renegotiating the contracts, something that the drivers can probably refuse to do since "because taxes" cannot be used as a reason.
I use much more than 20% of what I learned at school, indirectly. College-level education is not about learning keywords, it is about getting the appropriate mindset so that you don't need training each time the keywords change. If you rely on these "code bootcamps" for your education, you will be no better than cheap offshore workers (and worse than less cheap, better trained offshore workers).
The only good thing about these bootcamps is if they can land you a job that allows you to get paid and get proper education at the same time. So that when the "full stack web dev" you are doing falls out of fashion, you are already prepared for the next thing and the one after it without needing another bootcamp. They may look good on your resume too, even if you don't really need them.
Believe me they try. - Universal id number : you have one on your passport... so what - PIN code : aka very weak password - Biometry : mostly useless online, useful for physical access checking only - Cell phone : SMS second factor is very common with banks - NFC : see key fob - key fob : used a lot, including its mechanical counterpart called a key, can be stolen
None of these techs can replace passwords, but they can complement them.
I am wondering something... Is is a good strategy for a white, well educated couple to adopt a black child and give him the kind of education white people typically get. This way he is likely to have the same skill level as white guys in their own fields but with all the "diversity" benefits.
In fact it was more like they took advantage of the P4 fiasco. The NetBurst architecture was a failure, it could barely compete with Intel's own previous generation. They made a few bad design decisions. Perhaps they were blinded by the MHz race, perhaps they really thought long pipelines were the future, I don't know. However, they learned from their mistakes and their next generation (Core) was a success. At the same time, AMD took a more sensible approach and the K7/Athlon was a worthy "next-gen" CPU. But maybe the lack or craziness also caused them to stand still when Intel advanced. Intel's commercial practices probably didn't help either...
So this is a waste, but party balloons ore ok? Because I guarantee a lot more He is wasted on party balloons than will ever be used on these aircraft, by many orders of magnitude.
It depends on how many of such aircraft are made but I estimate the number of orders of magnitude to 2 or 3 (100x to 1000x more). One Airlander 10 has the equivalent of 2.5 million party balloons inside it, though I suppose this helium can get pumped out and recycled at the end of life. But helium as a lifting gas accounts for only a small part of total usage, and party balloons are only part of it (maybe half, to about 5%).
Possibly one of the biggest waste is in MRI machines. They use up several times more helium than party balloons, or even all helium balloons ever will. And the reason they are so wasteful is the same as the reason why we have helium party balloons : helium is cheap now. As a result, instead of designing complex system so that helium is properly recycled, they prefer to waste it and refill regularly. To put things into perspective, a single MRI machine can contain about enough helium to fill up about half a million party balloons. And that's pure helium, not "balloon gas".
No one with a tiny bit of insight was surprised by this. When it came out "how long before the takedown?" was maybe the most common question people asked themselves. Nintendo and the Pokemon company are well known for being very protective of their IP.
I think even the devs saw it coming, they may even have their response planned in advance. I suspect their strategy was to make a huge buzz early on and exploit the small amount of time they had before the takedown.
In Europe, legal warranty (which is 2 years) protects you against hidden defects no matter what you do with your phone. So you can blow all the fuses you want, if, say, the SoC fails because it was defective, they have to repair it. What the manufacturer doesn't have to do is to restore the KNOX features you disabled by blowing that fuse, because it is your fault and not a defect.
Snowden's leaks showed us the real problem with the NSA and the story continues.
You see, I don't think the problem with the NSA is all the the spying and data collection they do. After all they are an intelligence agency, spying is their job. Or actually half their job. The second half of their job is keeping secrets. And this is where they fail. Just look at what Snowden, a simple subcontractor without external help managed to do. And now they leak their toolkits to random blackhat groups. No imagine what a big nation like China or Russia can do... that's scary.
I like the idea of "don't attribute to malice what you can attribute to stupidity". And right now, I think the NSA is stupid. They are bloated, eating more data than they can chew. They seem to prioritize projects that gets them large budgets and jobs for their friends rather that doing actual security. Building massive datacenters to process massive amount of useless data, sure, that's big, that's important. Putting millions of people on "watch lists", sure, it will keep people busy. Implementing sensible security policies to actually keep secrets secret, boring.
Because it may have been part of its downfall. When they reverted their policy the damage may have already been done.
And "Facebook does the same" is not an excuse. Google+ is a competitor to the already established Facebook, it has to offer something different, otherwise, people won't switch.
It i not their fault if that's the kind of video people like to share. Complaining about click bait in the "social media" section is like complaining about football in the "sports" section.
Facebook hosts ads on their own system since they are their own ad agency, like Google. By itself, it doesn't prevent malicious links or even virus payloads. Careful control by the company does.
Yes, I know. However this is useless if the names are randomized, which is probably what will happen. There are ways around it but not with simple filter lists like the ones you can use in ABP. Maybe Greasemonkey scripts.
I don't write a lot that's why but I definitely have bic pens that are more than 3 years old. I also handed down a Nexus One (2010) that is still in use, although with a different battery. I don't know if your iPhone 4 got a battery change but if not, 6 years is quite impressive. I don't think I ever kept a battery that long on something that I use regularly. Li-ion batteries are usually expected to last 2-3 years and this is what I noticed.
Not to mention things like Blu Tac, Sellotape, a lot of brands of condoms, Bic Pens, most brands of cigarettes.
Those are consumables.
So is the iPhone. Apple do everything they can to stop you from using an iPhone for more than 2 years : sealed battery, unavailability of spare parts, software updates that make the phone slower and slower,... I have Bic pens that outlasted my phones.
If you only count only really durable items, I would go for the Zippo lighter. Half a billion have been manufactured and with proper care, they can last for more than a lifetime.
Tor is backdoored. You can see that from the ease with which the Feds locate sites and users.
Backdoored, probably not, vulnerable, probably yes. What Tor attempts to do is hard. First of all, the network has to be secure even though a significant part of it is controlled by governments. Second, the Tor browser is an attempt to take a very leaky browser (all modern browsers are) and turn it into something secure without making navigation too troublesome. Third, even a secure network and a secure browser won't protect you against social engineering and old fashioned detective work.
The only reason to game on a PC is abundance of choices of indie games and places to get them from. The only reason remaining to buy a PC is gaming. If consoles remain locked down, they will eventually be eaten by Android boxes/sticks because of low entry price point. Microsoft is killing the very reason why Windows was dominant for a long time.
I think you forgot about MS-Office... It really is the killer app in business environments. Not only it is best in class but there is also a huge legacy of software written entirely in excel macros. The real reason people buy PCs is for producing content, gaming is a secondary market. And indie games are secondary to PC gaming, especially now that consoles and mobile devices have indie channels. Most PC gamers are power users, enjoying state-of-the-art hardware. The reason Windows is so popular for PC gaming is that its driver model support proprietary software better than linux and is not locked down like the Macs.
Is it Assembly? I remember last year. I've seen several Windows 10 upgrades during the party as it just came out. Not the best idea if you intend to actually play video games or run demos.
If they wanted to do something useful the European Commission would fund some top ranked Universities within the EU to do the audit.
And why do you think it is better? You don't think the assigned IT department employees are competent? Universities may not be better at this job. It is not research, it is an audit. An audit is a tedious process where you check that the security best practices are followed, that the code follows some standards, that only safe crypto is used, etc... The goal is not to find new ways to attack the code, rather it is to make sure that the code isn't vulnerable to existing attacks.
A university can tell you that the lock you are using and that everyone thought was unbreakable may be cracked in 2 years. An auditor will tell you that the window is opened.
I wonder how Nintendo does it? On the WiiU you can see other people's drawings and I've yet to see a penis. In fact most drawings are pretty good and tasteful.

Beaten a CPU that is already out with one that isn't yet, using a benchmark of their choice. The only area where they can hope to compete is price.

Venus may represent a near Earth example of what is in store for the future of our world if we don't make it a number one priority to address.
No.
At least not unless we are talking billions of years and plans to address it include things like drastically changing the orbit of the earth.
Global warming may be bad for humanity but our planet and life itself will do just fine.
