Why doesn't Google hire that Eloston guy who is genius enough to implement such an advanced method to disable autoplay? It seems that their developers couldn't manage to do it;-)
Google's customers wouldn't like it.
FYI, your attention is the product. Their customers are their advertisers.
If you track its orbit, it does not cross Beijing ( or Washington DC ). The only US states it crosses is the southern parts from Californian to Texas. Aside from crossing parts of North and South America, its orbit is mostly over water.
The orbit is a normal "procession" where it could pass over any point (especially uncontrolled) between about 45 degrees North and 45 degrees South of the equator.
True, Alaska is not at risk, but the whole of the CONUS is, Northern South America, most of Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia and Southern Europe.
It's more of a "belt" of possible overflight than geographic regions.
This is really silly. All a barometer needs is either one or two tiny holes (depending on the design of the sensor). The sensor would need to be sealed to the sensor and water tight, of course, but that is required by any sensor they might use. This story is simply an excuse.
I'll guess two possible reasons for this:
1. Force more use of Apple patented and licensed tech for headphones
2. Allow DRM implementation at the headphone jack to further control what can be played on the iPhone
The iPhone6+ (and possibly others) already has a barometer in it.
Barometer on a chip has been a thing for decades already. No "sealed box" needed.
They may have added the vent and moved the sensor for the existing barometer, but it's not a new feature. Gortex venting will probably greatly slow down the sensitivity so make it less useful for stuff they claim it might do.
How about using Fake GPS location spoofer? Is it able to send fake coordinates to Google Play, too?
I'm sure a GPS location spoofer, if such a thing exists, is highly illegal and would get you in big trouble to use it. GPS signals are on a licensed part of the spectrum, and interfering with those frequencies can cause not just your GPS device to fail, but possibly others around you. GPS is used in in some life or death applications, such as air navigation, so I imagine the feds would take this kind of spoofing very, very seriously.
The reference to a spoofer in this case, is software that runs on the phone to tell the OS and the apps on the phone where the phone is. There isn't any radio frequency involved.
Recently it's been used to let people "walk around" playing Pokemon Go while sitting in their basement.
So when carrying a revolver, would you keep the current chamber empty? Or the next one that comes on an errant trigger pull? That leaves 2/5-2/6 of the capacity unused. Nobody ever did it that way. Why would you assume differently with a more modern, "safer" firearm?
You would leave the chamber empty for storage (say, a safe) at least because a round can "cook off" in a fire. Don't need to be shooting firefighters accidentally.
In cases other than fire... Modern firearms, even with exposed hammers have ways of blocking it from going off unless the trigger is pulled. You wouldn't need to have an empty chamber on a revolver or semiautomatic unless the firearm was made before 1900 AND it was malfunctioning. Around 1870 or so, they invented revolvers that won't go off even if you smack the dropped hammer.
In other words, you are thinking of cowboy movies.
Generally now days, a firearm you are "ready" to use will have one in the chamber. (Hint: treat them as such until you know otherwise)
The total steam production will be limited to the same amount of evaporation you would get from the pond naturally.
No, and that dissimilarity is the whole point of the exercise. The pond is a huge body of water. As long as you heat that evenly (or at least a layer of non-negligible thickness, which the sun normally does, then the temperature and evaporation are low. This floating device is designed to heat up a small amount of water to a much higher temperature. This increases the overall evaporation, because energy is not used to warm up the rest of the water. Unless you want to evaporate the entire pond, there is a difference between heating up only the water you want to turn into steam and heating up all the water.
Another way to say this is: You use the energy you get to heat the part that's important (the layer exposed to the air that CAN evaporate) more efficiently.
How these things could be used isn't real obvious. Maybe along the coast to increase evaporation and moisture carried in wind that travels inland? I have seen a few diagrams of greenhouses with dew collectors on the ocean side to catch evaporated seawater for use.
Though, I can't see how they would be much better than getting the sand on shore wet, maybe the fact they do this unattended....
And yet if something illegal happens on the WiFi, will the govt ignore it?
This is a horrible idea, sorry. The govt should bring in WiFi hotspots, and not put locals at risk.
Considering the arbitrary and capricious (not to mention illogical and nearly insane) actions of the Italian court system a person would have to be totally stupid to assume the government wouldn't immediately turn around and throw someone in jail for a monkey-trial if something illegal happened on their open wi-fi.
Heck, they threw geologists in jail for not predicting a quake right just a few years ago. Think the same group of italian government turds aren't sniffing around this quake?
No, you're just trying to use a fringe case to favour your bias..
People buy stuff FOR the fringe cases.
The cooler that can keep stuff frozen for 48 hours is a fringe case.
The video card that can do 60 FPS on the latest game is the fringe case.
The stereo, laser printer, TV, and microwave are all tools used in small parameters but the fringe cases is what separates them from others of their kind.
Ask any tradesman that does anything physical or with their hands about tools and they'll say "buy once cry once" essentially saying "buy for the fringe case"
Insurance is fringe case all around.
Travel and getting the car prepared for a 400 mile non-stop drive from "empty" in 15 minutes on the way out of town is a fringe case.
You are completely delusional if you think the case of the average is what motivates people, and what makes a tool useful.
So no, you are not right. You are just to narrow minded to think about the non-asbergers point of view when you think of all the little numbers in your head.
Surely there were ways to run the same event without lying about what they were doing.
Slashdot has it figured out, ask for questions, collect and collate them all, pick the best ones that the staff wants to have and then pose them to the guest.
Twitter could do that with having a handful of people then re-post the questions so they are "live" and it's quick off the cuff answers not some cynical slick think tank response.
They didn't. Not because they couldn't, but because they didn't want to. They CHOSE to lie about it.
No, I'm a W-2 employee, I'm a US Citizen, and it's my recollection that I've never presented an ID to work - and I know for a fact that I've never shown an SS card, because I lost it in the 1980's and never replaced it.
Are people paid on 1099's somehow fit for disenfranchisement?
You are either a liar, or your employer is breaking the law.
She filmed herself with a pistol grip shotgun and broadcast it to Facebook during the event. (While using her child as a human shield.)
The woman was a "moorish nation" follower. The moorish nation is like the soverign citizen movement. Both those groups have proved themselves to be very dangerous to both normal people, and the police.
Maybe you should go read some of the evidence before slinging accusations. Not that you BLM type jackasses ever bother with that.
No, progressive has always meant "I'm smarter than everybody else in the world and therefore my political opinions bring about progress, and anybody who disagrees with me on any subject at all is wrong just because of the fact that they aren't as smart as me."
As I've mentioned before, progressive is a label that many groups have applied to themselves in the past, including (but not limited to) prohibitionists and Nazis.
The interesting (irony intended) part of all this is the massive collusion with the media. That old "the media is biased" complaint that used to be brushed off is now known to be true. Sort of like Snowden's releases showing the whole paranoia about them listening to everything was true too.
You can see this now that the dark curtain of deceit has been torn open, the media outlets 'owned' by the DNC are dropping from "pretend to be news" to "biased propaganda machine and we don't care if you know". They are trying to influence the few droolers not paying attention to what's going on that still watch / read that crap. The DNC is either dying, or about to become dangerously powerful. And in turn, what happens in response will either make or break our country. Good luck. You are going to need it.
Anyway, I'll leave a quote here that sort of puts things in perspective:
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
-Joseph Goebbels
This is the dumbest (or maybe just trolliest?) statement of the day...
Please explain how *anyone* can predict someone's next CC number. If you can't explain it exactly, it's bullshit, since I assume you are included in "anyone"...
An article with exactly that in it appeared here on Slashdot months (or a year or two) ago.
There was no fix at the time.
"Did they fix it yet?" is an entirely valid question.
Odd. I didn't hear anyone laugh. Not even a twitter, but there was a whole lot of tweeting.
Why would a room full of leftist lapdog "journalists" laugh at a joke mere seconds after he was done beating on them? Losers don't laugh. Especially those that take themselves very seriously.
Right, everything he ever said is a joke. Why can't people understand that?
Because it's easier to go on about Trump then accept the reality of what Clinton has done so far with power.
This does two things, Trump's opponents are thinking and listening to Trump. Not Hillary. Free publicity. Millions of dollars worth.
It keeps the "strategists" in the DNC and on the left spinning for bullshit spin (which the "russians did it" little "fact" is) and every day they do that, is another day they are behind in the election and another day's worth of money down the tubes. The longer things go with the emails leaked the better chance someone will connect more of the dots which will be another blow.
So whatever, I enjoy the lefties flop around like a dying fish as much as... I enjoy watching a dying fish... cuz, fresh fish on the grill is delicious.

You sound like someone that doesn't know the control of the internetz will be turned over to a global consortium from the UN yet.
Overreach is about to get way way worse.
Now we know the level of dumb the new Slashdot management is.
Or just another chink in the chain of media bullshit controlled by garbage in control.

For best results, start a sentence and hit the "hang up" button right during the middle of a word.
That way, it doesn't piss off the biddy and you still get to end the call.
Good customer service!

Seems like one of the upgrades they should have for launch and prep is high-speed cameras pointed at the thing.
The first flash of light looked a lot more like an electrical discharge than it did any sort of combustion.
Hard to tell with what was published on Youtube though.
a) nothing to do with slashdot's "News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters". b) blatantly partisan c) questionable news source
Dozens if not hundreds of leftist-leaning article tripe posted on Slashdot per month since the purchase and you bitch about this one.
LOL
Baidu should apply that "deep learning" to it's dumbass search spider that keeps looking for files deleted more than seven years ago.
Look, dumbass, 404 means it's NOT FUCKING THERE.

Yawn. You really think that Apple, the richest company on the planet, gives two shits about a half-ass, wanna-be tech site like Slashdot?
It's used as a marketing mouthpiece by Apple often enough...

That, and single use numbers for online transactions.
Of course, the banks don't give a shit about security so don't offer that stuff (for the most part.)
I fail to see why _I_ should care if some retailer gets fucked. Maybe the retailer should be pressuring the banks to fix it.
