so why do we want to change that? The definition per-se of noon is "sun in zenith".
If people feel it's dark too early, well then change working times par law, instead of changing time per law. It's so silly Some law says we should start work at 8, but it's dark. Oh, let's do another law to change the time, so it's sunny at 8.
because harvesting EM radiation for free to power your sensors removes that power from the transmission. This means that the general distance to which the signal usually travels is shortened. The emitter will not be happy to need to increase power output to get his signal along only because there are power harvesters along the line.
Some virus or a targeted attack makes self driving cars run through shopping malls or drive off bridges.
This could even happen if there is a GPS glitch making all maps offset by 100m to the east and the selfdriving software being buggy and assuming the GPS is right and the camera is wrong.
On one DrWho episode (or was it Torchwood?) there is an automated car system which is tricked into killing it's drivers on purpose.
The reciept-less tellers will have a big e-paper display facing the customer which shows the complete reciept. It includes a fingerprint certifying that it's signed by the shop's private key. The customer uses his phone to take a picture of the reciept. Done.
If the customer does not have a camera, he pushes a button and gets a printout.
See... there is no email address involved. Completely anonymous.
This solution is visibly so simple that nobody will even think about it.
Trump deported many low wage jobs as illegal immigrants. Now of course those positions are open for takers. but no American wants to do this dirty task for so low earning.
As you can already extrapolate from the other inaccuracies in the Slashdot text, this is indeed not a satellite for Luxembourg, but a Luxembourg owned military communication satellite. The transponders are to be rented out to military organization for profit. And of course this is mainly NATO as Luxembourg is a NATO member. There have been some criticism about if this is a good idea, as it may be supporting drone operations and other less moral activities.
So with my new xubuntu I got firefox quantum. All my memory hassles and CPU hogs went away. cool. The lack of tab mix plus is a real bummer. But still it's useable
Until firefox decided system wide not to play any sound. It may be pulseaudio which hates firefox quantum? vlc works fine. As does chrome. So well... as I need sound, I'm now on Chrome. Which is also shit, as I'm missing a good password manager. So I install Kepass2. With mono. So it's a kind of windows port. Looks like it also ported the crashes as my desktop freezed up shortly after:-)
Maybe his usage of 'entropy' is not correct, but there are easy ways to have long and remeberable passwords. See diceware. 5 words from a dictionary of 7776 is 7776^5 That's quite a lot. Equivalent to a 14 lowercase letter password. But instead of memorizing 14 items, you only need to memorize 5
you chose a password, there is a calculation performed how long a brute force/dictionary attack will take. Your password will expire after this time. Calculate the time using this calculator (take the botnet time): https://password.kaspersky.com...

can someone tell me how there is free movmenet of EU citizens to the UK? The UK is not in the Schengen area. Not at all. Switzerland is more in Schengen area than the UK, and Switzerland is not even EU member. Each time I travel to the UK I have to provide an IDcard/passport. That's not free movement, there is an actual boder to cross. Even if you take the train through the tunnel, there are border controls.
Make the default into metric system, even if you set language to english. Every new installation I have to wade through libreoffice settings to get it to print on A4 and measure stuff in mm.
A bigger part of the world uses metric, so linux should too. Canonical has a big influence and could make upstream changes to make this into reality.
I basically like to hit all USA users wanting to print on Letter needing to research this stupid stuff instead of the rest of the world. But you could create a "Imperial" package which changes all settings to suit the USA 19th century way.
You can find USB charging or even power outlets in a plane. So removing batteries from the game is not stopping the threat.
The real threat is that the "battery" in a laptop can be the explosive. DAESH recovered an x-ray machine and engineered their explosive hiding technique to be indistinguishably from a battery.
Now that all batteries are banned, they will put the explosives inside their bodies. Where you can hide drugs, you can also hide a bomb.
instead of storing stuff on disk, just stream it from one server to the next, forever on a gigantic loop. And so the video goes round and round the earth, lives in the cables, switches, and routers. But is never downloaded or stored, it's streaming forever.

This is NASA, come on, a science institution. Using Fahrenheit?
They should use Kelvin!
This is dumbing down science just so that Trump understands it!

remember those little annoying things. The smartphone has taken it's place. "Reply to me", "watch me", "tell me this and that"
Only after reading a 3rd time I finally noticed that it's not a reality show based on the movie "Planet of the Apes" :-)

well, windows still uses unsalted MD4
6 char password => expires in 1 hour
8 chars => 1 day
10 chars => 1 week
12 chars => 3 months
14+ chars => 1 year
So making long passwords would make you change only every year.

There are several projects/tools out there.
