Yeah, and if people start getting messages that they need to spend more because they're on a business trip and their kid in another state is watching at the same time (and similar scenarios) when they're already paying for the two-stream service, I would imagine they'll start getting pissed.
The only way I could see this making sense is if you wanted to be able to play those games on the go on a Vita, but then a) you would have to have good WiFi, which you aren't likely to have on the go (while there is a 3G model, the speed is almost surely inadequate and the cost would be high); b) the price is too high to justify it; and c) reports are it doesn't work well enough anyways.
Plus the library of available games is pretty poor (IMO). It's a wonder anyone is using the service such that it's still operating.
The backups may not even be necessary. Just as the attacker changes the password, unless something has changed with Drupal you can also quite easily change the password simply by hashing a new one. Fixing what damage they've done to the site itself is a little work, but it's not like this would make it unrecoverable.
For example, they direct their representatives to tell customers that areas without a data cap actually have a 250GB cap, but it just isn't being enforced.
Well of course. It's called getting your foot in the door. They roll out a "cap" that isn't enforced, and simply start enforcing it little by little in different locations. Why are you complaining when it was there all along?/s
Exactly. There is a marked difference between broadcasting Chinese propaganda because that's your choice, and broadcasting Chinese propaganda because you're acting as an agent of the Chinese state. I don't think the government should be stopping this, but I also don't think it's unreasonable to interpret it that way.
I have heard that small private charters are not a bad deal if you can fill the plane, but solo fliers of the target type are going to just fly first class.
Indeed. People seem to have an image in their heads of rich people always flying private, but the reality is that that private makes less and less sense the greater the distance being traveled (at least without stopping), where the aircraft required are considerably more costly to own and operate. There's a reason why Emirates and other carriers do offer such options, and why some American carriers offer first class on New York to LAX flights.
Suppose you are taken into a hospital room with no windows, anesthetized, destructively scanned, reconstructed, & then woken up later. How is that different (from your perspective, not the medical team's) from just being anesthetized & then waking up later? How do you expect your experience to differ in the 2 cases
In the latter case, I will experience waking up. In the first case, I will not experience waking up, because the consciousness will not have been truly continuous. My perspective will have ceased, and an identical copy of that consciousness will be created that will wake up. Even if the result was essentially exactly the same to the outside observer, it would not be to me.
You cannot experience not existing.
That one cannot experience not existing does not mean that one cannot not exist.
Heck, if you die you just "teleport" back again and you just miss a bit of memory.
But then, speaking not so much in Star Trek terms but in real terms, the original is still dead. You don't just "lose memory," the you that was is gone, soul or not. The consciousness is not continuous.
I find it interesting that the RIAA and other similar groups seem to have to comment on these things. I can't think of a single industry outside of the entertainment industry that's so congratulatory (and self-congratulatory) over the law coming down in their favour.
SteamOS is based on Linux and their new hardware will support at least Ubuntu from the start. Even non-Valve games franchises such as Borderlands are starting to support Linux.
Regardless of whether or not we'll ever see the Linux desktop take off, there can be little doubt that native gaming on Linux has made more progress in the last couple of years than in the entire history of the OS. Even if Linux remains niche on the desktop, that doesn't mean that it can't be a successful platform for gaming.
Both C++ and C are on the list, and both are native languages unless we're talking about C++/CLI.
And then Java and C# are compiled to an intermediate language and run on a VM, not really interpreted. So you have 6/10 really. Which is quite a bit, but not nearly as much as 9 out of 10 makes it out to be.
That was my first thought as well, though I suspect Twitter might come after them if they do.
But really, Twitter should have come up with some better reasoning, even if it would be "we have to apply the same rules for everybody." This just makes it sound like they support revisionism in politics.
I might think twice about $10,000 to keep this quiet, but I'd probably be fine with "Yeah, here's a dollar, don't e-mail my wife."
In the example here they're asking for 1 bitcoin, which is currently valued at $225.65 USD according to Google. That's a lot more than just a dollar, even if it is a lot less than $10,000.
For average U.S. person wifi feels better because you get local service (Starbucks) that serves limited number of customers well.
And for the average US person, wifi feels better because they don't have to pay a ridiculous amount per gigabyte if they go over the limit of their data plan because they've watched too many videos.
Maybe the use cases would be different in Cuba, or their government would ensure that such caps wouldn't be an issue. But otherwise, wifi does have significant advantages such that wifi and 4G complement each other.
If all they just wanted the materials they could get from the website, I don't see why they would take it down and therefore break the supply. I'm sure they could get access to the forum somehow without rendering it useless.
Though I could imagine a scenario in which this would serve to help them move these users to a website they control. It wouldn't be without precedence either; I remember information about a government-controlled forum coming out after another agency took it down.
It enables lawmakers to be more reasonable without offending less reasonable constituents.
How, exactly? The way it is allows anyone to say "X supports Y" even if X doesn't support Y because Y was a rider on bill Z. And come election time, the political ads can spin anything the way the people who are making it want. Didn't support the military spending bill that has some rider about schools? You hate children. Nothing is going to stop less reasonable constituents from being offended.
This isn't like our Subversion repository here, where all changes are done by an individual. Committing in the legal code requires the agreement of large numbers of people.
I think it would be more appropriate to consider the legal code to be the master branch with the proposed legislation being a separate branch that ends up being merged, although I think the entire analogy is pretty sketchy. While committing the law requires the agreement of a large number of people, the issue of who wrote what is a separate issue that is not invalidated by the collective nature of the process.
He's pissed that the consumer has NO IDEA what the compression is doing to the art.
That would be a lot better of a point if a) he didn't think that the quality of AM radio is better than the compressed streaming audio, which is absurd; and b) it weren't plainly clear that compression does not inherently do anything negative to his art or that of any other artist.
I mean, maybe he honestly believes what he's saying. But given how involved he is in this, he should know better. Don't get me wrong, I do think that pushing high quality audio hardware makes sense, because a lot of consumer hardware has crap audio quality. But this is just absurd.

I would think this would be less useful for stopping spoofers so much as letting customers know that they can trust particular calls.

I don't think that would matter to most of those who would have a reason to use something like this. Whether or not it's illegal, it's worth studying.

They seem to be talking about a scenario in which the existence of H1B visas creates both jobs, which seems ridiculous. At best, it is a wash.

So you program the software to not pull the update if the car is roaming (or use data at all, for that matter).
Of all the reasons OTA may be a bad idea, I think this is one of the least concerning ones (as in, not at all).
