I found a link to his website. It mentions specialized software/joystick driver (for Windows 95!) that allows one to map the hundreds of buttons and switches so that the flight sim software can interface with it. The site also mentions ancient versions of MS Flight Simulator from the early 2000s.
Given that it's not 2002 anymore, I would hope he's using something more realistic today, like X-Plane.
If it came out for BSD, the dependency check would trigger a complete recompile of KDE 4.x, bogging down your desktop for 34 hours. After it was done, everything would work fine, but in all practicality, you wouldn't be any safer because face it, you're running BSD; no one gives shit about you.
Myth. Republicans (conservatives) today are no different today than they were generations ago.
Because the human mind tends to filter out the bad memories and latch onto the good, we all tend to have sugarcoated views of the past. Because of this phenomenon, the moderate Republicans of the past, with their popular, sane and dare I say, effective policy positions are the ones that end up being cast in history as representatives of the great majority.
Meanwhile the John Birch society and Know-Nothing type groups end up being forgotten, or retroactively cast as a "fringe groups" that had no support or influence, when in fact they carried the sentiment of the large portion of the electorate.
The New Black Panther Party is recognized hate group by the southern poverty law center - the same folks who monitor all of the white hate groups. Even members of the original black Panthers despise and have publicly called the group as a "black racist hate group".
The term reverse racism is itself a racist term. I know that white people don't mean it that way, but the term implies that racism is only supposed to go in one direction.
For awhile they shipped a buggy version of tomcat that could not close the threads it opened. This resulted in tomcat seizing after a week or so of being up.
I spent two weeks troubleshooting this and was literally advised to "RTFM" by Blackboard support when I contacted them for help.
The kicker? Blackboard was never even aware of the bug until after they accidentally fixed it by shipping an updated tomcat binary with a new release.
Manual additions and enrollments caused a bit a grief and confusion for us too. We solved the issue by banning the manual creation and enrollment of students. The only way a student could be added or enrolled in a class was through the snapshot process. We only ran it twice a day, so students would have to wait up to 12 hours to get into their class, but it eliminated a common source of confusion.
I talk in the past-tense because we've moved onto another LMS.
Don't MS often complain that windows is only perceived as insecure because its ubiquitous and therefore commonly targeted, and that other systems only appear more secure because noone bothers to target a small marketshare...
Yes.
Surely then, the same applies to windows phone, it has a tiny marketshare and therefore very few people are interested in attacking it.
Yes.
The windows phone kernel is based on windows ce, which is inherently a single user os, im fairly sure that once you get down to it, the system is considerably less secure than android or ios, both of which are based on tried and tested multiuser kernels.
Not sure what single vs multiuser would have to do with overall device security since on the Android side none of the security issues we've seen have anything to do with the kernel. Why would you compare the kernel the Windows Phone platform with the userland of Android?
A quick search shows that Microsoft is not using the user model of security in Windows Phone 7 at all.
One of the things I remember about Blackboard is the regular re-introduction of old bugs. Blackboard would fix a bug and the bug would come back a couple of releases later, at which point we would have to prove to Blackboard support that the bug had come back; because of course they had it in their head that they had fixed it. And of course, Blackboard would take several months to fix any bug that had any kind of workaround, even though many times the workarounds were completely unreasonable, like they IE7 compatibility workaround: 'disable every security feature of Internet Explorer 7'.
And on further inspection it appears I read wrong. People get their blacklisted Sprint phones onto Boost by getting a cheapo boost phone and then cloning the ESN from that phone onto their blacklisted phone.
It's interesting how one has to reach a bit to find problems on the private side (aside from the usually tussle between people on opposite sides of economic transactions, such as buyers and sellers of gasoline or crude oil), but easily finds a bunch of legitimate obstructions from the government side.
The prevalence of ready-made talking points for the anti-government side of the argument is not evidence that the argument is correct.
Two years ago we reported $1500 in income that we received from the state for in-home care of an invalid relative. We were not sure if it was taxable, and could not find an answer anywhere, so we reported it just to be safe. A couple of months later we were sent a refund check for the tax we paid on that income - separate from the refund we had already received.
Even with the bullshit data, they are still cheaper than all of the other carriers for us.
We took advantage of their not-so-secret employee referral program that anyone can sign up for, and pay 137.00 a month (that's after fees and taxes) for two lines (both smartphones) with unlimited data, unlimited texting, and 1600 shared minutes. Because Sprint features unlimited calling to mobile devices (any carrier), we only use about 100 of our 1600 minutes per month, the end-result being virtually unlimited minutes.
And yes, Sprint's data network does suck balls. But you get what you pay for and in our case price was more important than fast 3G/4G.
No. Sprint charges a $10 smartphone data fee. It's an extra charge to pay for all the extra data that smartphone users use. It used to be for 4G, but moved to being something that all smartphone users pay.

Nonsense.
They were standing in a public place saying and doing nothing illegal; they were exercising their first amendment rights.
Here is the video of what you're talking about:

The fact that you think that was voter intimidation says more about your irrational fear of black men than anything else.

You've be able to audit pretty much everything security-related in Windows NT, dating back to the 90's.
Not that these complex security mechanisms mean anything in the context of every day desktop security.
Whether we can come to a consensus and actually do it is another issue.
Obligatory
Well if it's a Samsung phone....
Phones with locked bootloaders would probably require n actual kernel or Android system exploit.

Second, OSX (as well as any Unix clone) is indeed more secure than Windows by design
How? What security framework does OSX have that Windows doesn't - and for that matter that Windows didn't have first?

Using Blackboard is bad enough, but to get the full effect, you should try administering it.
you'd almost have to be criminally insane to do it,
Then there are all hell of a lot of criminally insane people out there because the practice is common.
And on further inspection it appears I read wrong. People get their blacklisted Sprint phones onto Boost by getting a cheapo boost phone and then cloning the ESN from that phone onto their blacklisted phone.
I've read that piggyback carriers like Boost Mobile (Sprint) will activate CDMA phones that have had their ESNs blacklisted.

We had a similar positive experience.

We were not sure if it was taxable, and could not find an answer anywhere, so we reported it just to be safe.

It did seem pretty cold here in the valley this winter. We had more days with lows in the 20s than I ever remember.
