It’s been a common Windows malware trick for years
It's also been a common problem for years that Protip: emails saying you've won money don't actually mean you've won money.
It's a ridiculous fear because every media player I use asks if I want to download codecs anyway which I always refuse.

Oh you want to use that blu ray on any video device you want? But you can't because HDMI specs abitrarily block your device for not being upgraded into a newer more restrictive form? How dare you hurt the multimillion dollar film industry by getting around it.
Are you likely to use the phrase 'ok google' before asking your friend a random question? No. Not unless you are attempting to trigger his Google home device without permission.
"Ok google how to find nude pics and tell me I'm wrong"
The problem with what happened with United wasn't overbooking. It was how they handled overbooking. They could have taken the seats at the gate for their people and decided who wouldn't board at the gate. But instead they let everyone board, let everyone sit down and THEN pulled out the "we need your seats" thing. THAT's the problem.
Or more specifically A problem because dragging someone out of the plane by their arms is ridiculous. He's not a sack of wheat. There were three dudes there and they couldn't grab his feet?
And that doesn't even touch the extreme escalation of violence visited upon a Doctor who had purchased a ticket and was already seated.
No they did many many things wrong on this flight but overbooking doesn't even come close to being one of the major ones.
It is legal to choose based on appearance. Otherwise our super models and actors would be middle aged and overweight.
What next we are not allowed to discriminate on qualifications or intelligence? perhaps you just have to take the first applicant otherwise you are discriminating against them? Some people want to go crazy with this stuff.
that's industry dependent if i recall correctly. so the reasons hooters gets away with it is because they're an entertainment bar that serves food as opposed to applebees which is a restaurant that serves entertainment.
You can make exactly the same broad generalizations on a face-to-face interview as you can on a video. So, no.
yes but in person you can counter-balance those biases. Once you're there for the interview you're there for the interview. This is like a casting couch and someone comes out and picks who gets to come in to the interview based on how [insert physical attribute here] they are. You may look hideous in person but with an in-person interview you have a chance to provide something more than that you can make conversation, you can show knowledge, you can answer questions. With a snapchat application you have 10 seconds.
don't write books by text, don't share screen shots by post, don't use your stapler to hammer nails.
You can do all of those things but why would you? Technology exists for a reason. A scythe was designed to cut down grass in large amounts using it to cut down a single or tens of blades at once is moronic. Using Snapchat as a chatting protocol is already bad. It's a terrible chat program unless you're talking to a mistress, using it for job applications is even worse. Nothing about Snapchat makes it easier to apply for a job.
Too much Hollywood. I can't be the only person on/. that remembers Aloha Air 243
You're not going to get a large enough explosion out of a device the size of an iPad that's going to blow any where near the 1/3 of the top off of a 737 like there was in that case. That flight was at 24k feet. The only person who was "sucked out" of the plane was a flight attendant who I believe was standing under the part that came off of the plane. There were injuries, but the plane landed. While the pressure is certainly different at high altitude, it's not like these planes are flying in the vacuum of space.
that was from 1988 wasn't there an explosion mid-air rather recently that only the terrorist got sucked out and the plane landed with no other deaths.
seems interesting. I've never had any complaints with Audacity I find it very flexible. But I'll take a look at Ardour. maybe it has something I never knew i needed.
oh heaven forbid the guy have an opinion on something. Real men don't have opinions.. or ethics... or integrity to stand by their opinions. Nope real men just buy anything without regard for any contradictory aspects.
my word. I expect the finest quality from a product in it's first batch. It's like they have murphy's law backwards and hardware gets less good and more expensive as time goes on.
take care of the traffic and this won't be a problem. Fix the jobs situation so people don't need to drive that far, fix the roads so they can handle the traffic, fix the economy so we're not all on the road at the same time.
Trying to "game" the traffic apps is like sweeping the dirt under the rug it doesn't help. It just hids.
To be clear, this is about the Mac App Store (MAS), not the (iOS) App Store.
OHHH that explains ALL of my questions. Yea the Mac App Store was and is a silly idea, your computer is not a phone it doesn't need it's own app store.
The judge did not find in favor of the casino because they tricked the casino. The judge found in favor of the casino because NJ state law states that any game played with marked cards is null and void AND that these cards met the legal definition of marked cards.
That's a better argument. I still think it shouldn't be that way but that makes more sense than suggesting that they cheated because the Casino accepted their request.
The term "fake news" has been thrown about -- and misapplied -- far too freely of late.
Fake news is a deliberate fiction on the part of the writer, with an intent to deceive.
It is not the same as a news story reported in good faith, but with errors.
And BTW, it doesn't matter that it was the dealer who was rotating the cards, not the players. The players tricked the dealer into rotating them so as to change the odds of the game. You can't do that.
Actually you can it's quite common in the game for players to have superstitions like this. Rotating certain cards for some mystical/superstitious benefit. The players asked the Casino if they could use this special brand of cards and the Casino agreed. The players asked the Casino if they could rotate the cards and they agreed. The casino got played. They didn't trick anyone, the casino shouldn't have agreed to that brand of cards being used without verifying that they were symmetrical.
They assumed no one could tell the cards apart and that's on them.
Waking up to your favorite music is always nice, but it becomes rather annoying when you can'' turn off said alarm.
It made no sense because it never even occurred to me that they were trying to say can't. I mean what kind of alarm can't you turn off? Day early or not you should always be able to turn off the alarm? Any how even once an alarm was constant to the point where I couldn't turn it off is the day I stop using that device forever.
In fact, the alarms are also going off a day early, meaning Saturday wake-up calls were playing this morning.
Like what does alarms going off a day early have to do with it? The problem isn't alarms going off early. The problem is alarms are going off and you can't stop them. THAT should have been the headline.
One would never leave a car parked at a gas station right at the pump and the same rule applies with Superchargers
No this doesn't work BECAUSE it's not like filling up in a gas station. You don't hold the pump and fill up in under 3 minutes with a Tesla. You park the car and fill up while you're gone because it can take over 10 minutes to top up your electrical charge. What happens if you Christmas shop (or any other big shopping event or heck ANY event where you expect to be away from your car for hours) and you're at 80% do you risk topping up and over charging or do you just go without. What happens if you're at 60% or 50%. You're incentiveizing people to not bother to top up if they're going to get charged by the minute and they might be hours past due. When people start getting battery stranded what'll that do to the perception of electric cars then.
I mean, I could sit down and show you regulations that anybody would agree are ridiculous.
Classic Trumpism. What are these mythical regulations? Name something? give an example? Instead when a reporter wastes their time going over regulations they find the industry pretty on par and then Trump backpedals saying we over exaggerated what he meant and what he said was just a joke. Ugh we have to do FOUR YEARS of this nonsense? He can just say what he wants and no one's going to stop him?

Maybe you should stop executing your movies?
First, a lot of people are "executing [their] movies" without even being aware of the possibility of executing a movie. By default, Windows Media Player and possibly other video players supporting WMV digital restrictions management will attempt to automatically acquire a license when playing videos restricted by DRM. This process has been shown to lead to malware installation.
Second, videos can be deliberately mis-encoded, with the purported solution being to download a "codec pack" that turns out to be a trojan.
Third, videos can be deliberately mis-encoded to exploit vulnerabilities in parsing of video streams, audio streams, subtitle streams, or the container that multiplexes them. Not all users are up-to-date on patches, particularly when the patch is buried in a service pack in the hundreds of megabytes to gigabytes.

I'm pretty sure that post means you do not have a "bubbly personality."
you don't know that. ask him over TCP/IP and maybe you can find out.
Maybe you're confusing Mikee Dees and Starbucks.
no starbucks'll hire hot guy baristas.

Man sucked out of passenger jet after bomb exploded was suicide bomber who smuggled his device on board in his WHEELCHAIR, claim investigators.
The bomb they think was in his wheel chair and it didn't really make that big of a hole considering.

what FOSS audio editors do you use then?
Looks like this snowflake needs a hug.
oh heaven forbid the guy have an opinion on something. Real men don't have opinions.. or ethics... or integrity to stand by their opinions. Nope real men just buy anything without regard for any contradictory aspects.
I doubt this. I'd gladly take the time for a train but they're so prohibatively expensive. That and oceans are the two reasons I choose airplanes.

You may be glad robots are big. But I would prefer that they fit inside my home where they can do useful things.
See when the robots are big they will BE your home.
President Ford pardoned Nixon for the watergate scandal, and Nixon never stepped inside a court for his misdeeds.
I'm not sure he's saying he literally can't. But that he won't. Like it's against what he believes to pardon someone who hasn't been tried.
