If they hadn't created an environment where 50 ads per page (with 50 trackers) was commonplace, in your face popups and interstitials, being a malware vector, and just generally abusing their own users, perhaps it wouldn't have to come to this. They have only themselves to blame.
They were classified retroactively because the government aws unaware of of them, because she was using a private system to conduct communications that should have been done on a government owned and controlled system.
Regardless of the classification, she was doing government work on a private system, in direct violation of public records and data ownership rules, any "normal" person that did this would be at least fired from their job and perhaps face charges regardless of the contents of the communications.
Don't focus on "flagship" or "reference devices" like Nexus or Galaxies. Think about the mid and low range Androids that make up the bulk of the market and look at the average length of support (in terms of software updates) for those devices.
The high end devices tend to be actively supported for much longer than where the real middle of the belle curve market is at. Especially if the device is purchased late in the retail shelf life of the device.
Perhaps a "rule" like: "full software update support available for 2 years from date of purchase" is required, perhaps to be imposed from above on carriers and OEMS?
Upside would be forcing carriers and OEMS to actually support their product in an ongoing fashion rather than quietly stopping updates shortly after releasing the device, as is the case with many lower end Android devices
"worst quality in the history of broadcasting or any other form of distribution"?! Neil seems to forget that AM radio was the prevalent listening method when his biggest hits were first released.
the only thing stopping them from getting WHQL on their drivers is $$$ for the process combined with the fact that their crapware drivers wouldn't pass WHQL
Why hide this behind shell companies if it's all above board, authorized and legal? Oh, wait, anything that law enforcement does must be legal right?/sarcasm Wouldn't it be a more effective crime deterrent if the aircraft had large bold block letter lighted signs that said FBI on them?
"poaching" is the pejorative term, likely spun that way by management types that hate when it happens.
From a worker's point of view, it's the payoff for selecting a career with upward mobility potential. Poaching is GOOD for employees.
Never intended to imply that the update model for Windows phone is perfect, it's not. With many of the same hardware OEM and carrier blocking in play.
I was only disputing that it was a "low end hardware issue", that's only a very small part of the problem.
I'm certain that I'll be leapt upon as a shill for saying it, but Windows phone is running on similar low end hardware as Android, it's definitely not a "low end hardware" issue. It's an overly customized and fragmented software image problem, brought about by all of the players involved, Google, phone OEMs and carriers, none of whom have any interest in maintaining the existing installed base beyond the basic phone operation. Even winphone has problems here at the OEM and carrier level in blocking updates, even with the limited customization of the OS image the MS allows. Only Apple gets special treatment here with respect to distributing updates, and that is because of near zero or extremely limited customization of the software image on the device by the carriers and a single phone hardware OEM with a very well defined hardware platform.
you are failing to take into account the risk of a negative response from a cop that just shot an unarmed fleeing person and planted evidence to justify the crime. You think there's no risk of negative outcomes for the camera operator in that situation?! What sort of dreamland do you live in?
email has been considered a legal document under court precedent since it first became a tool of business in the late 80's early 90's. Federal official record retention laws have been in place for much longer than 2009. As an attorney and law firm owner she would be very aware of this, and even if she wasn't, ignorance of the law is no excuse.
Hillary is only the currently most visible example of this, many other politicians are similarly in violation, the former PA governor is one example that comes to mind for me (I live in PA) The legal challenge here is really not much different than the challenge of legal corporate information stored/manipulated on personal devices.
The right place to air her rationalizations is in a court of law, not in the media. This is a clear criminal offense. The public rationalizations are a essentially an admission of guilt, guilt of a clear and direct violation of federal recordkeeping laws that are intended to protect the country and the people from political abuse. Prosecute her and the many other politicians that do this, that's where they should be explaining themselves, not in the media.
the Navy is interested in this because they would really like to get out of the carrying and storing lots of explosive ammunition on warships in hostile areas business. If all they need is bigger generators and this device to have essentially unlimited shots, and not carry ammunition, some reduced capability of the individual shots is likely acceptable.
The only innovation that Comcast/Verizon/AT$T et. al. have done is in exploring new frontiers of poor customer service, cartel like exclusionary practices against alternate providers, abusive/fraudulent billing practices and extortion to content providers. They are actually arguing to allow themselves to squash the innovation of other content providers, app authors, etc. The true innovators are completely in favor of net neutrality generally.
then you get charged with destruction of evidence, or obstructing justice, or some other cobbled up charge, even if there was no "evidence" on the device in the first place, you can't prove that after it's wiped. Yeah, if you lawyer up you might be able to get out of the charges, but your life is already heavily disrupted at a minimum.

that failure mode for fission reactors is from decay heat of fission products in the fuel. That problem doesn't exist with fusion in any form.

even mass produced inflexible feature phones have exploits and vulnerabilities, just not as widely abused or as powerful

Better than multiple billions and astronaut lives lost for a cargo run. Hell, a shuttle launch that succeeded cost over a billion per launch.
Remember when everyone thought Windows was the biggest monoculture? Not on the web server side of the business....
Among other things, sounds like Slashdot's current owners are on a similar path...

(disclaimer: CMU Employee). If someone offers a better salary and the person takes it voluntarily, that's not poaching, that's a "competitive market".

thus the redundancy of the thruster arrangement, call it an additional successful test of a feature

Wonder if the lunar tubes would be diamond laden like on earth? Finance the building of lunar bases? Or just crash the "diamond economy"?
