The "front end" is Skype for Business. However, many of the internal registry entries still say Lync. The DNS modifications you have to make still say Lync. All they did is change the UI.
Skype and SfB don't play well together either. I've had MANY tickets from my users who can't connect to our SfB contacts from a normal Skype account. Making it even more confusing is the two icons, they are the same color just inverse of each other. We would have to go and have some "end user education", enable auto-login on SfB, and uninstall Skype all the time. For awhile we had our EU business division on an EU-based tenancy, and us on a US-based one. Even in SfB, often one side couldn't see if the other was online; it would just say "presence unknown". We finally had to make a decision; since corp HQ was in Ireland. the entire company had to switch over to an IE tenancy to get everything MS related like that to work "properly".
ONE country managed to do this, and it cost (in today's dollar) around $125 billion. Having blueprints to do something is far easier than the very exacting and stringent engineering to actually accomplished this goal. Low-earth orbit is far easier than getting to the Moon and back. I still agree with you, it is completely possible with will and money. But it's ALOT of money. However, I also believe that Japan has the technical ability to accomplish this.
Especially with what they are requesting...military status, felony status, per-election voting results. I can see this being used as propaganda: each state has their own rules for felony voting. Some never let a felon vote again, some do after 2x time sentenced, etc. However, it's highly likely that this commission will "freak out" on Fox and Friends screaming about all the "felons voting!", and how that is "illegal", etc. They won't go into how it's illegal only in specific states, or that the states where felons are voting it isn't illegal...nuance like that is not usually fitting for Breibart, Fox, etc. All we will hear is is about "rapist, murderers, and pedophiles voting!" or such. They will probably just match up the last four SSN, take a list of dead people's last 4, and claim that ALL these people are "illegally voting dead people". Then, lawsuits from groups like "Voters Outreach of America" will start rolling in on those states, costing taxpayers millions and exposing even more voter information.
We all know that all this info will be rolled up into a highly insecure database and just behind-the-scenes handed over to companies like Cambridge Analytica. Or there will be some "cyber intrusion" and the data will be leaked...AND this cyber-incident will be used by "lawmakers" to clamp down even more on our distinguishing online freedoms.
Well, that actually depends on where the person lives. According to Wikipedia:
Adultery remains a criminal offense in 21 states, but prosecutions are rare. Massachusetts, Idaho, Oklahoma, Michigan, and Wisconsin consider adultery a felony, while in the other states it is a misdemeanor. It is a Class B misdemeanor in New York and Utah, and a Class I felony in Wisconsin. Penalties vary from a $10 fine (Maryland) to four years in prison (Michigan). In South Carolina, the fine for adultery is up to $500 and/or imprisonment for no more than one year (South Carolina code 16-15-60), and South Carolina divorce laws deny alimony to the adulterous spouse.
So, if blackmail is threatening to reveal a person has committed a crime, then your hypothetical scenario would be considered blackmail in specific states. IANAL, so I'm not sure what would happen if you tried this say, in Oklahoma, and the person took your attempts to the police. My guess would be the person your trying to blackmail wouldn't be prosecuted for adultery, but you might be pursued by the police if they thought they had a case of blackmail against you. Even the places that still have it on the books don't really care too much about adultery, but they do care about blackmail.
There is no other service available. Someone long ago went to each cable box and cut off the coax right at the top of each incoming pipe. Fox Cox to bring in service, there would need to be some major work done to re-run, or at least fix, all the connections. So, if I want any internet service, I am forced to go through AT&T.
Press releases are easy. The actual "rocket science" involving sending humans to the Moon, and getting them back alive, is far more difficult. Specialized electronics have to be used in space. Or, use a Minority Report style triple redundant processing system where there are three chips in case one gives an anomalous result. Honestly, though, we don't NEED to use "advanced electronics" to get to the Moon, obviously.
Footprints and flags style missions are, other than the great PR, not that useful. IMHO, what we should be aiming for is building up telescopes on the far side.
Actually, this is one of the major reasons for the problems in Syria. The drought that started in 2006 caused many farmers to migrate into the city, which then helped kick-start their ongoing civil war. It's only going to get worse.
are "Internet Taxes"? There is no over-all Federal-level sales tax. As of April 1st, 2017 (two months ago) Amazon started collecting all sales tax for states that have a sales tax, 45 states in all.
But, honestly, we've come to expect this from Trump. He may actually understand how sales tax is collected, but this type of tweet is aimed at his low-information supporters to stir their rage against various targets Trump picks for them. Whatever it takes to keep the masses angry at anyone who "opposes" him, and to keep everyone confused.
I think most people would be far more for some type of ban IF it involved the actual countries that, say, where involved in the 9/11 attacks. Saudi Arabia is the "main offender" with their exporting of Wahhabism. We should have included UAE, Egypt, and Lebanon. Many of the attacks are by second-generation immigrants. My theory is that the original family members flee whatever, and move to areas with other immigrants of the same lineage. The second generation don't comprehend just how bad it really was, so they glamorize the "good parts" of their parents old life. This is just human nature, to forget the bad and only remember the good. So, the 2nd gen get pulled into the likes of ISIS.
I have no hate for Mexico, but technically sycodon is correct. Mexico is not a member of NATO, nor are they a member of the Warsaw Pact. Therefor, according to the original definition, they are a "third world country".
Well, building skyscrapers in an area that has a very active seismic fault nearby might not be the best of ideas. The cost of earthquake fortifying is neither cheap nor a guarantee. As outlined here, people on upper floors might experience up to 4g of acceleration during a major quake. As the engineer in the article states "Perhaps that's how it works in a real estate deal, but there are some things you can't negotiate. You can't negotiate with God or Isaac Newton."
That Coibase is asking for "a letter from the DoJ" seems very strange; especially if this isn't actually obtainable. If I was running a security company that ran into such a requirement, I would immediately engage my legal council...especially if Coinbase closing my accounts actually cost me "real world loss" in the form of me loosing access to my bitcoin wallet stored on their system. Requirements that are impossible to fulfill might constitute fraud, especially if there is a demonstrable "loss of income" due to Coinbase's activities from Troia's (currently) legal activities. Right now, there has only been a (A HREF="https://coincenter.org/entry/it-should-not-be-a-crime-to-help-victims-of-ransomware">single court case in the New York southern district court that has touched on the idea that paying ransom with bitcoin violates 18 U.S.C. 1960.
Pretty entitled users who would just quit their job over the laptop issued to them. And if the company is doing network security correctly, good luck getting non-approved devices into the corporate network. MAC-based access lists, certificate-based VPNs, port monitoring...sure, you might be able to get to the Internet via the guest wifi, but the VLAN won't let you go anywhere else. I would just close any tickets on it and cite whatever Computer Use policy the company has against connecting non-business systems to the internal network. Complain if you want, here's a waiver you can sign saying you will be held personally financially responsible for any network disruptions, incursions, malware, etc that occur from your BYOD system.
When I got a notice from Cox for my "business-level connection" they specifically wrote that as this was a business service I was allowed per my contract to share out my signal via unauthenticated wifi and they therefor assumed that was how the infringement happened. At that point, I tweaked utorrent to only share back up to 120% and then stop seeding, and never got another notification. So yes, they do really put their customer first in this.
" Here, the first one is free" really? You've actually had a "guy in the vaping store" say that to you? What store is this that is giving away $50-$200+ of merchandise for free???
Until Siberia melts in a clathrate gun event and releases gigatons of methane. Global temps rise by 6+ degrees, we would have a recreation of the Permian extinction event. However, Siberia might be one of the few places left on Earth (along with northern Canada) that humans might be able to scratch out a living.
According to the original definition, China is a third-world country. They are neither a representative democracy nor are they a member of NATO. They aren't a member of the Warsaw Pact either, which is what the "second-world" is. Of course the Warsaw Pact is long gone, so China is pretty much a second-world country.
In regards to the inverse square law, most of our signals become undistinguishable from background noise beyond a few light years. Digital signals are even weaker than analog, and "degrade" faster in relation to being readable faster. Only when we purposely beam out very powerful signals like Arecibo message do our signals really get very far.
I think it's far beyond a "loose money" situation...the UK would have to implement some RADICAL restructuring of all their internet traffic. From what May wants, they would have to strip off all HTTPS traffic, put everything back into plain text. They couldn't use cellular tech like CDMA, SSL, PDFs, and would need to develop all new systems that incorporate this "back door". It would be a colossal undertaking that would take years and millions of manhours. They basically would be cutting themselves off from the rest of the planet electronically. Their economy would collapse, identity theft would run rampant, and basically "the sky would fall" as soon as this backdoor is compromised (which it quickly would be). This idea is on the same level as Trump's wall but 100x more idiotic.

Well, it IS well documented that Trump makes "enemy lists" and follows up on them. So, yes, that is probably exactly what this really is.
In some states after passing such laws, they shut down most of their DMVs. Of course, that wasn't "planned" to disenfranchise in any way.
Especially with what they are requesting...military status, felony status, per-election voting results. I can see this being used as propaganda: each state has their own rules for felony voting.
