Microsoft is also monitoring how long people are using the operating system.
Wow. That sounds like a pretty certain statement of fact...
Microsoft must have been logging individuals' usage times
That sounds less certain.
Maybe they simply know when people installed Windows 10 and what the average computer use per day is (from their own studies), and, actually, "11 billion hours" is not meant to be taken as particularly accurate.
We wish we lived in a world where web content always included standards-based fallback (or at least multiple-vendor-prefixed fallback), but alas, we do not live in that world.
Yeah, mainly because people keep caving in and supporting non-standard shit. C'mon, show a little backbone, will ya?
They get something out of it by letting Google index it. If someone does it for their own purposes they might well take a different tack.
Amazon Store pages are all over Google, but their TOS still forbids scraping, and they actively combat it to the extent that most attempts to view a product page via PHP over TOR fail and return a CAPTCHA.
Scraping would probably annoy Twitter and be a violation of their TOS, so they'd dislike you for it to start with - if not eventually block you, which is "technical". It'd also be slower, possibly too slow for you to keep track of all the pages you're interested in all the time. You might even have to execute the page's javascript to make sure you're seeing everything that a user would. And there's likely extra data available from the API that can't be found in (or inferred from) a scrape.
Apparently this woman has no symptoms with a BAC of.40
She did have symptoms. She was pulled over because she was driving erratically and her speech was reportedly slurred. Further complicating things, she had been drinking earlier.
If (at least in the UK) if you suffer from certain medical conditions, such as epilepsy, then you are automatically disqualified from driving.
That's decided on a case-by-case basis, depending on when you last had a seizure, under what conditions you have seizures, and other stuf. There's no blanket ban.
Right. Here's one of my big gripes with Slashdot. Months ago, you brought in video. But you still don't have articles with images, even when they are the main point of a summary? That's pretty lame.
If the FTL drive allowed (for simplicity's sake) instaneous travel to another planet (such that the "now" when you arrived would be the same "now" as when you left, in the [again for simplicity] exactly shared reference frame between Earth and the distant planet), then yeah, once the slow ship decelerated and got to the planet, more than 150 years would have passed (more than 300 for the total journey).
Also note that a 300 year (for the crew) relativistic journey would cover a lot more than 300 light years (in the "stationary" - let's say "galactic" - reference frame).
Up until now, your options were to drop some serious cash (businesses) or spend time to build them yourself (individuals) at moderate expense.
What's with the stuff in parentheses? Why can't an individual "drop some serious cash"? And why can't a "business" build their own at moderate expense?

Comcast's Xfinity Home Security Flaw Leaves Doors Open
No, people leave doors open. Xfinity just sucks at warning you about it.
Siri: "Do you want me to build you a slug with big dicks?"
Don't know, do you make phone calls with your phone or with your PC?
I make calls with my Arduino, you insensitive clod!

No. Next question.

You don't need an agreement to record this stuff.
You do if you need access to the Twitter API to do it, and Twitter takes away said access, which is what they did.

Just burp into this tube please sir.
Look, it's either this or we take you down the station and stick a hose up your bum.

The graph starts on March 15th.
I think April 15th just shows where they lost their enthusiasm.

First link: could you give me a timestamp so I don't have to watch the whole 30 minutes?
Second link: no mention of the BBC.

According to the BBC, the polar bears will drown due to global warming.
Where's your link for that claim?
What's so disreputable about the BBC, particularly when it comes to science reporting?
Okay, so now the test has been successful, they can go ahead and take down... uh... what? isis.com? For a couple of hours?
Majority of Americans OK With Warrantless Internet Surveillance
We didn't ask them. We just... well, we just know, okay?
That and while is normally used for loops
Err, yes, but this is a SQL "WHERE", not a "while".
I guess it's been a where since you did any SQL ;)
Sometimes when your enemies are too powerful, suicide is the option that involves the least suffering.
And sometimes people just go crazy.
At 2-3k for a "home" milling maching, it still doesn't make sense to buy your own.
That depends how much money a person has.
