I am not aware of any security technology which can stop an attacker who has broken the file system driver for the root file system. I am not sure what that kind of technology would even look like -- all the ideas I can think of are completely impractical.
It would look like what a lot of people here tend to hate. - Bootloader (BIOS, EFI,...) checks that the OS kernel is signed by a trusted authority - The kernel checks that each module and system file has the correct signature before it is loaded If the root filesystem driver is compromised, it can tamper with system files but because the signature won't match, the kernel will refuse them. And it can't patch the kernel either because it will be refused by the bootloader.
Samsung KNOX is a full stack implementation working from the bootloader to user applications. On PCs you can start with the UEFI secure boot. Unfortunately, all these solutions tend to impose some root of trust and often don't go well with opensource communities.
You won't be a good executive if you don't have any idea what your company is all about. You don't need to be as good as the mechanics but you should know enough to have a functioning bullshit meter.
15 minutes guarantee? I rarely spent more than 5 minutes in a pharmacy from the time I get in to the time I leave with my medicine. And it didn't seem like there was any kind of pressure on the personnel. Is it normal in the US to wait for 15 minutes to get your drugs? Maybe it has to do with the "sticker on a bottle and fill it with pills" part? We get our pills in small boxes, no filling nor labelling done by the pharmacist.
Shared screen? not important? Nintendo almost designed the Wii then the WiiU for same screen multiplayer. Mario Kart, Smash Bros, the newer Super Marios, Mario Party,... all feature same-screen multiplayer. There is a social aspect to same-screen multiplayer that other games don't have, I have a group of gamer friends, ranging from semi-casual to quite hardcore, with different interests, and we all enjoy a game of Smash Bros together. And BTW, a WiiU is $300, previous generation consoles are even cheaper and still great. A console is not necessarily a PS4 or an Xbone.
Indeed, it can, I did this on my Nexus One which, at 512 MB, was really short in internal storage. However, it is more risky than simple rooting, usually involves a hard reset and may cause trouble if you want to update your ROM. With current generation 16GB+ phones, it usually doesn't worth it. There is however a good reason for removing apps from the system partition, and that if you want to put something in the system partition and there isn't enough space inside. It is more for ROM cooks than regular users because it is generally useless to put regular apps in the system partition (at the first update, they will be copied to the data partition), however it is good for things like busybox or privileged apps.
I have a Galaxy Note4 running KitKat and I can disable most pre-installed apps, including Google ones. They can't be removed because they are stored on the read-only system partition but it is as close as you can get. If you root, then you can truly uninstall every app. However, the reclaimed storage space is likely to be of little use because, as I said earlier, it is on the system partition.
It looks like the nuclear accident steals the show but one must not forget that the earthquake and tsunami themselves that killed at least 15000 people and rendered many others homeless. So I am not sure how they got to 1600 deaths but how did they differentiate cases that were caused by the radiation-related evacuation and cases where the direct effect of the earthquake and tsunami was the cause.
If you have trouble remembering IPv6 addresses, you can write them in a text file, like this : 1234:5678:9ABC:DEF0:1234:5678:9ABC:DEF0 mycomputer1 1234:5678:9ABC:DEF0:1234:5678:9ABC:DEF1 mycomputer2
Let's call this file "hosts". But I understand that copy-pasting can be annoying, it would be so much better if the system could use it natively...
But we can go even further! Instead of copying this file between computers we could make some kind of way to synchronize and distribute these files so that it could be always up to date and accessible from anywhere, like some kind of distributed naming scheme (we could call this DNS). If only we had this...
Your data is probably safer in the US than it is in the EU. European countries have spies too, you know... At least, US citizens seem to make a big deal out of it and they are allowed to speak it out. In the EU, we don't need a Snowden to know that the government spies on us, yet, few people seem to care, of their control of the press is much more effective than in the US.
Putting aside the debate about global warming, this it completely off-topic. The WV scandal is not about global warming. Global warming is mostly about CO2 and CO2 is mostly about fuel economy. Here the problem is that they cheated on NOx emissions, which are toxic (known to cause acid rains) but do not contribute to global warming. If anything, NOx cause global cooling.
I think that "fuck you" is a totally valid reaction to highly loaded and off-topic "information".
The decision not to make the base model 32GB is a commercial one, probably driven by market segmentation. The idea, I think, is that 16GB is good enough for casual users but advanced users would need at least 32GB. They also know that the latter have a bigger budget, so, by not offering the best compromize, they can more easily target each group. The 128GB model is the high anchor. That's basic marketing. Now for the technical side. Finding ways to reduce the app size is a good thing. And it would still be a good thing if the basic model was 1TB. It in addition to space, it saves bandwith, time, power, etc...Maybe not by much but it is definitely an improvment and I would hardly call it "stupid".
The "don't use goto" should be a "don't use goto that jump backwards or inside a block". I've seen a lot of stupid code that stem from that gotoless ideal. Forward gotos are actually pretty clear, probably more than breaks, continues, and returns that are not on the last line. If exceptions are not used, a "no goto" guideline would be counter-productive.
As for threads, I don't know any beginner that would use them unless there is a good reason as they tend to make everything harder. However some guidelines abut what to do with shared resources like "always protect them with mutexes" are good ones, even if lockless programming is possible, you'd better not leave this to beginners.
My guess is that in addition to aging, there is the law of diminishing returns. When we first build a new scientific apparatus, there are plenty of discoveries being made, then, it goes downhill, because much of what can be done with it has been done. So the next step is to improve it, for example by adding new instruments, or upgrading the old ones. But there is a limit on what can be done. And at some point you end up with something that is very expensive but produces very little. Sure, we can still hold on to it but it makes more sense to build something new, especially considering that the maintenance costs tend to rise.
The greatest, I think it is subjective, but a few Google searches can tell you some of the important findings. For example there in this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... the selected three are : - Cosmic ray detectors on the ISS discovered particles that may confirm the existence of dark matter. - Study on the effects that living in space has on the body. For example, they discovered that in addition to bone and muscle, the eyes were also affected. - New generation cancer treatment using micro-encapsulation come directly from the results of research done in micro-gravity on the ISS.
There are much better general purpose lossless compression algorithms than what is in 7-Zip (LZMA2) or WinRAR. They are also much slower, like the paq series that uses context modeling and arithmetic coding. The challenge here is to do something that is also fast and memory efficient. In fact, we could improve the compression of Brotly very easily just by using arithmetic coding instead of Huffman coding. But the improvement probably wasn't worth the performance loss.
It depends a lot on your driving. If you do a steady 100 km/h on the highway, your mileage will be excellent. At 130 km/h, you may use about 20% more, and can more than double if you take the road for a race track. Maybe your driving is more economical than most.
AdBlock Plus is relevant because it is an company that is dedicated to ad blocking and they actually try to find some compromise between advertisers, users, and themselves. As such, they have some political presence that others adblockers don't have. And what are the "superior forks"? AdBlock Edge? This is useless, it is exactly the same as of ABP with the "acceptable ads" checkbox unchecked, but with less support. As for uBlock (which I am using), it is not a fork, it is a new product. And it is not specifically an ad blocker but an universal blocker. It also uses much less memory, which is why I made the switch.
desktop 1 / screen 1: terminal desktop 1 / screen 2 : IDE / text editor desktop 2 / screen 1 : web browser That's the global idea. Other apps usually start on desktop 1 / screen 1 and I move them around as needed.
On Windows, it's... a mess. It's basically all windows stacked on top of each other and a lot of alt+tabbing.
"We also know how to scale up organizations, to put in management that lets thousands of people work together. But we don't have a handle on how to scale up that intersection between engineering and human organization. And maybe we don't understand the importance of that. We massively underinvest in this kind of work."
In other words, you know how to hire more managers to manage managers but have yet to find a reason why you hired all these managers in the first place.

I asked my dog and all he had to say about it was "woof". Which I interpreted as "I'm hungry" according to past conversations.

In fact, it is kind of ironic as what the polygraph does best is detect if someone is trying to beat the polygraph.
