The Note 4 (which came just after the S5) really did a great job with multi-window capabilities : floating windows, iconisation, drag and drop between windows, split screen... Unfortunately, few apps support these features because of the Play Store rules that state that multi-window must be disabled unless explicitly authorized in case the app doesn't behave properly. In practice, when forced, most apps do quite well. Should Google make multi-window part of the official Android, we should see much more apps officially supporting it, which would be great. And if possible, they shouldn't limit themselves to just split-screen.
For power transmission, a large voltage is often a good thing as it reduces losses and allows for thinner wires. We also know that DC starts being dangerous at around 50V. It means that the ideal is just less than 50V : relatively safe and can power devices in the kW range without unreasonably thick wires and risks of overheating. 48V fits well and as a bonus, it is the nominal voltage of 4 car batteries in series.
When a company is located in some area and most activations come from all over the place, you know there is something fishy. Google can block your account if it is accessed from unusual places, credit card companies do this too. If your request is legitimate it is just a matter of making a phone call or answering a few questions to unlock the situation. So why can't Microsoft do it too?
AI will not replace devs anytime soon. However, what may happen is that more and more tools are made so that many developers can be bypassed. It is already happening in embedded software where some tools can convert functional diagrams into code. We are not here yet. A common problem for such tools is that they are so complex that you basically have to be a developer in addition to your primary job to use them correctly.
Teachers tend to rely more on behavior than whatever gadget students use to cheat. These smart watches are not that different from regular cheat sheets in the way they are used. And while they store more data than a piece of paper, that's actually a trap for the cheating student. No one expects you to learn 8GB of stuff, which means that the watch will be filled with useless data the cheater will have to sort through in less than ideal conditions.
It does. When calculating the effective dose (in Sv), alpha particles are weighed by a factor of 20 compared to beta and gamma. When the body part is taken into account, lungs get a high coefficient.
What you described is the "hot particle" theory and is controversial. Most experts believe that the current model (the one that in used in the XKCD chart) is reasonably accurate.
No it is not, and for this particular attack (preimage) neither MD5 nor any of the SHA are broken. What you linked is a unpractical collision attack on SHA-1 (not SHA256). Collision attacks are much weaker. And no actual collision have been published on the standard SHA-1 (but we may be close) and AFAIK, the full SHA256 is still completely safe.
No, this bus is public, and what the microphone records can just as easily be heard by the driver and other passengers. Like security cameras, it is a matter of local laws, no need to bring the constitution and human rights here.
If "doing fine" means being a third class player in the mobile market despite having a huge infrastructure ready to support it then sure... The Kindle is kind of popular but that's just an eReader. Not something you put personal data on.
"Steve Jobs Wozniak" was a very successful combination, combining a brain and an asshole into a complete being that bear fruit. Too bad the asshole took over completely.
I think you are confusing the age of consent and child pornography/prostitution laws.
The idea is that in Japan, like in most civilized countries, consensual sex is always allowed. The age of consent defines the age bellow which informed consent is considered impossible. Which mean that sex with children under the age of consent is always considered non-consensual, i.e. rape. Pornography and prostitution is not just sex, it is sex work, and it is forbidden for minors, no matter if they can give their consent or not. The limit here is 18. Different set of laws for a different case.
As this case isn't just about a sex offence but prostitution of child(ren) I think the individual shouldn't be allowed to "be forgotten".
Knowing Japan, I suspect he paid a high-schooler for services and they both knew exactly what they were doing. If it isn't simply a possession of child porn case. There is no mention of rape, and rape is what you get when you deal with children under the age of consent (instead of just minors).
It seems like it doesn't depend on the people but it is relative to the group. Take a group of people, there will be leaders, followers and independents. Now split the group by category and the organization of each subgroup will change to get roughly the same proportion of leaders, followers and independents again.
1- High price for ads is a good thing. 2- The "Almighty GOOG" does not "inject" ads. It puts them where the original site owner tell they should be placed, in exchange for money. 3- Ad injection/replacement by ISPs is the worst. The ad provider and most importantly the content owner lose money and you still see ads. And unlike with ad-blockers you can't turn it off if you want to support the site you are visiting. The ISP shouldn't serve you ads, you already pay it with money.
If customers actually had real choice for their ISP, and could make informed decisions, then they would gravitate to the one who doesn't fuck with their connection.
Unfortunately, I'm not so sure. Nerds like us don't want ISPs to fuck with our connections but I'm sure many people will take say 5GB internet + free Netflix over unlimited internet but you have to buy your own Netflix subscription.
There are many script-kiddies who launch attacks using the TOR network so it isn't very surprising. I rented a small server hosted by OVH that I used as a web proxy to make up for the poor peering of my ISP. I noticed the same thing : captcha, etc... That's because cheap servers like mine are popular for attackers and many are infected by botnets.
That's why some light aircraft pilots use iPads for navigation instead of certified equipment. They don't have the right to use it but who's gonna check when they are flying. And should they get controlled after landing there is no problem as long as they have the proper paper maps. As for the iPad, it is just a personal mobile device so it doesn't have to pass the certification.
There are other form factors other than the typical low profile 3.5". In particular there is the "half-size" thickness, witch is the thickness of 5.25" bays. It was a rather common form factor for 3.5" SCSI drives.
Solution? Since Steam now has Mac ports for pretty much everything I play, the next gaming rig will be an incredibly over-priced Mac Pro.
Why don't you try a "Hackintosh" build? That's a PC with carefully selected components so that you can run OSX on it. The Mac Pro is good but unless you actually are a pro and need it for your work, it is simply too expensive for what it has to offer.
We didn't find a cure to HIV, however, people can now live with it. It is not the death sentence it used to be. Like with batteries and solar power, things have improved a lot. It is just that it happened gradually so people didn't notice.

Students are allowed to cheat, they are not allowed to get caught. Like in life afterwards.

At least paper money can be used as an actual fan.

Nobody needs to beta test anymore because you can get Windows 10 for free. This is stupid.
No you can't, unless you already have a valid Windows 7+ license. Vista doesn't work, "pirate edition" doesn't work.
