record of keeping your data safe so why do you keep putting it in their hands in the first place? Honestly, if a company can't notice 50gb of sensitive data flying out of it's network it has to have a pretty high degree of incompetence.
50 GB is nothing to data traffic on a game server.
But to a very different effect. Apple is trying to clear away competition so it can increase its market share so they will sell more product. Trolls want you to sell lots of product, but reap a hefty share of your profits via the legal system and/or extortion.
Wrong. You need overengineering when you are creating something new and you are not sure if it will work or if your calculations are correct. If yours calculations are incorrect, it is always better to overestimate (heavy, ugly, but works) than to underestimate and have a fireball on the ground.
Really? Is that how the USA does it? Then how come all our fighter planes are so fucking reliable?

OTOH, the US could actually afford the $4.5 million per-unit pricetag on the fighter jets, plus everything else (not least whatever sum we were throwing at SDI), without bankrupting the nation. Military spending was never more than about 20% of the federal budget, and our taxes were (compared to theirs) relatively bearable. As Russia continually tried to match our military spending, it dominated their government budget, despite much higher tax rates, and the Soviet economy eventually collapsed under the strain.
On the whole, I'd say we managed our finances better.
My problem with this whole line of argument is that it presumes that, absent a cold war with the USA, the USSR was a stable entity that would not have collapsed under the pressure of its own internal conflicts. We DON'T KNOW THAT. We just know that the military spending was one of many pressures on the Soviet economy.
Foam at the mouth like this much? Maybe some Xanex or something would help. I wouldn't call the F-22 a piece of shit but it looks like the cost of maintenance will be astronomical. I'd just call it overpriced and underwhelming.
Cost of maintenance astronomical == piece of shit.
Oh bullshit! Assange was accused of sexual misbehavior because he treated women like dirt, apparently. OWS got accused of rape because rapes occur when you have a large number of people gathered for a long time in defiance of police and therefore without police protection. Such sitiuations draw rapists along with their intended participants.
On other words, hackers are technically oriented sociopaths and/or with Asperger's severe enough to render them unemployable in a normal business setting?
It's true they harassment is IN PART defined by the attention being unwelcome. But if you take a case to court it is defined by a "reasonable person" standard. The jury must find that a reasonable person would have understood the behavior to be harrassing or contributed to a hostile working environment.
In the usual parlance, the fact that Apple makes competing products clears the of the trolling charge. They only sue direct competitors AFAICT. When you competewith Apple you know you're competimg and you know you could be sued. Trolls lie in wait with patents you don't expect because they don't make a product you could compete with.
Working at Google, their every thought and every move has been recorded and their precise physical appearance and capabilities have been recored from photographs. Once GoogleYou is perfected, they will be able to reconstruct the dead employees' personalities and download them into new robotic bodies. The GoogleYou replacement will be programmed to never even know you were dead.
I don't usually reply to my own posts but here's another interesting thought.
Why do we find other planets and moons with evidence of large-scale volcanic resurfacing that's not found on Earth?
Has Earth dodged a bullet for the last two billion years?
Does it only happen when the core gets cool enough and Earth's not there yet? (If so, how far away is the time when we have to start worrying about it?)
Does liquid water on the surface cause formation of a lighter, thicker crust that prevents resurfacing?
Does having a supermoon like ours cause massive tides that stir things up enough to prevent the formation of enormous pockets of magma that could resurface the planet? (Again, since tidal force is steadily reducing, are we approaching a dangerous condition?)
These thoughts are giving me the willies. Time to get my kids off this doomed rock.
If these are really products for the third world, I doubt there's a lot of money to be made. The world's poor can't afford to give guys like him a healthy profit margin. What's wrong with taking the man at his word that he is doing some projects that aren't going to help his bottom much compared to using the same people to develop products for the world's vast middle-income class? Sometimes even people who are complete shits in their business with you have some sort of humanitarian impulse. Look at Bill Gates: he made billions pushing sometimes shoddy, always overpriced software on the world, defied standards development efforts to help create product lock-in, strong armed companies with his monopolistic market position and my-way-or-the-highway attitude and then turned around and gave away hundreds of millions to charity. There's a long tradition of this. If you live in America, your town probably has a Carnegie library in it.
I'm not going to argue one way or the other about whether it's really going to help the world's poor. I'm interested only in whether it's an efficent method of doing so compared to conventional charities.
Yeah it does. I didn't think of that. It rotates 240x slower than the Earth. I figure the amount of energy released by the tidal effect is probably about proportional to the square of the rate of rotation, so tidal heating would be very little compared to Earth even though the tidal force is almost as strong. Most of its core heat, of which it apparently has a lot since it seems to have been recently resurfaced by supervolcanoes, must come from radioactivity.
What the hell happened to Venus? It's about 80 percent of the earth's mass. Why on Venus wouldn't it have a plate tectonics? Just because you can't see it happen doesn't mean it's not there.
Because it does not have tidal forces from a large nearby moon tugging on it like Earth does.
The solar tide on Venus is nearly as strong as the lunar tide on Earth. The planets are close to the same size and density so they probably have close to the same composition. Therefore they must have close to the same heating due to nuclear decay. Nearly the same tidal force. There is no doubt a difference in surface rock composition due to the lack of liquid water.
Because cameras with enough resolution to reliably read license plates in the field are a heck of a lot more expensive than single-channel radios. I can build a receiver that can do the job for under $20 in mass production. I know because I've done it.
Not a realistic option. If his internet connection goes down he's unable to process cash business. It has to be self contained but sn offsite backup is also critical.

Grabbing somebody's crotch is sexual assault. You damn well can get arrested and do prison time for it.

Sexual harrassment doesn't come from youth. It comes from being an asswipe. Asswipeness knows no age.

That's not western any more than it's eastern. It's just the way people are.
So you push back at the excesses to try and keep a balance.
For all his faults, Lewis actually believed in God but he was smart enough to identify jackasses who were doing a lot of evil in his god's name.
Doing god's work is a colloquialism for doing good. Non native english speakers might not know this but the rest of you have no excuse.

You can get a standing desk that's is adjustable and allows you to use it with the chair when you want. Stand when you want and sit when you're tired.
