There is something called the Windows Insider Preview which gives you access to interim builds that will eventually become the official releases. That is where new features are released and tested before it ever hits the public.
No only that, some requests are "Am I connected to the Internet" types which are all about determining the status of your machine rather than calling big brother to report something.
The true measure would be to allow it and packet dump/trace it.
No that's the point. I believe it only works when you start the app connected to wifi, and then if it detects that it is weak it will switch over so it appears uninterrupted. I'm not sure how the don't use cellular switch affects it.
My Carrier(Bell) sends me a text message when I am approaching my data plan cap. iOS doesn't have anything be default. You may be able to get an app for it. I think in Canada the warning is now mandated due to the number of people running over limits without knowing.
Conformance to the required emissions regulations was the cost of doing business. Claiming that it was so much better than it was was truly unethical. Who knows if we will be able to figure out who knew what and how this fraud was structured. Diesel engines already had a black eye in NA until better solutions appeared to come forward. This really calls in to question the future of said engines.
With the complexities of the of system design it may have been possible to shield some of the knowledge from those implementing it by breaking down components and expecting certain outcomes. However at some high level this was fully known and authorized. VW is going to take a real beating on this and rightly so.
You certainly can't complain about competition if you are unwilling to invest yourself. IF they were getting a special arrangement then the existing ISPs might have something to complain about, but they don't. Just because you are an existing player doesn't mean you get state sponsored protection...
As long as you still get the speed you are paying for why should you care if someone else is using your wifi anymore than you care if your neighbor is also a comcast subscriber.
Because someone might attach to your Wi-fi and share something in a manner that infringes copyright. Then, the MPAA/RIAA will come after you.
Note, I completely agree that targeting people based on IP address is idiotic, but you would be the person who would either need to spend the time/money to fight this lawsuit or would need to settle with them (likely agreeing that you did the crime) to make it go away.
On the upside, it could add more dents into the "this IP address proves it was that person" claims of the MPAA/RIAA, but who would want to volunteer for this expense? Or, more accurately, who would want Comcast to volunteer them for this expense unless they go through technological measures to opt out?
You obviously didn't read the article. They are using the wifi and completely segregating traffic. It appears with a distiinct SSID and on a different IP. The capacity is on a different channel, so gain the host user isn't affected.
Well, yes... Of course it is PR. "HEY! We are new, we are hip, we accept BitCoin!"
Can't imagine it is a major financial gain or risk for them. Considering the number of people using BitCoin, and then the number that would use a specific vendor, is vanishingly small risk for a vendor.
And yet, tree ring data from California shows that region has been in drought for something like 1600 out of the last 2000 years.
Much of it significantly *before* modern technology and CO2 pollution.
Could it be the real problem is that we don't actually know what the average temperature was before 1700?
No, that isn't the case. There are many different ways in determining temperature. Tree ring data is one, but there are ways of figuring out temperature far past the time trees are capable of...
In my mind it is too narrow for a site that is heavily text based. It makes it harder to go through the comments which is really the highlight of slashdot. The response and discussion that stories generate is the crux of the site. Eye candy is nice and all, but don't lose the base.
The problem is that the rules are phenomenally complex. It's easy to say that they should have just followed the rules, but IRS rules are a serious PITA to satisfy. It is quite likely that no matter what Xorg had done, the IRS could have found some error in their compliance that would enable them to revoke 501c3 status.
So the real issue is that by making it so hard to comply with the rules, regulations, and laws, it raises the question of whether the government is using "selective enforcement" to punish people, organizations, and views that they don't like. Did this happen because of a general review of nonprofits, in which case this was a simple case of good enforcement, or are "hackers" being targeted by the government (for lots of reasons, e.g. resistance to NSA monitoring), and any one of a number of technical violations would have led to the IRS' actions? In that way it is similar to the Aaron Schwartz case, and is something that should be noted, if not actively resisted.
They can't be so complex... If you don't understand them you get someone who does understand. Put away the tinfoil hat about selective enforcement of a software group. Enforcement of the rules is a good thing. Just because you may support the group that had the action taken against them doesn't mean it wasn't correct. It is 100% their fault for not maintaining compliance with the requirements if they valued that status...
Backup and restore are new features in this latest version of the Oracle Database??
How on earth did they manage before?! Seriously? Is it just me or am I the only person who writes programs from scratch with data security, portability and safety in mind? Gosh, My data has been separate from the program since I was loading out to 90-minute Type II's!
I mean, seriously, from this article can we assume that mysqldump offered a more sensible backup than every version of the mega-expensive Oracle, until this version?
No, it says that it has new capabilities - not that backing up is new to Oracle...
That would be a waste of time. Many jurisdictions are already paying for aerial imagery taken by aircraft flying and filming precise routes over their territory. They can clearly see when new structures appear or when existing structures are modified. In fact, automated algorithms can actually find the changes for them. With oblique imagery, jurisdictions can even measure the height of structures. Here is an example of a company that provides such services. Pictometry - Government - Assess
Very true... It is very important to most municipalities to have accurate GIS based data. It is used for so many things. I was just at the local ESRI conference in Calgary where they were showing their integrated awareness system which incorporates something like 200+ datasets from different business units. When I had a city tree removed they knew its entire history - what kind of tree, when it had been pruned. All of this helps a city run smoothly and react to requests.
This very example was shown from a county in the states. They had LIDAR shot every year and using land parcels and volumetrics were able to determine if significant additions had been done to the property to cross reference permits and taxes. There is nothing special about using google to do it. In fact it is less current then they would be doing it themselves anyways...
So how do you buy something larger than $50?
You have to change payment methods?
I get charged $0.50 when I use my debit card. So I never use it as debit.
I get unlimited free transactions with my debit card, so I use mine almost exclusively. The limit was strictly for the contactless tap to pay method. Anything more than your limit is required to use chip/PIN method of payment. Same card, different verification.
Everything seems like a good idea until you actually get to do it, especially when it comes to the next social wave. I think people are reconsidering what it means to be on social media, and what the companies get from you using the service. Most importantly, it is the commoditzation of yourself as data points. In the end, these companies are raising gobs of money on the prospect that they can turn you or your information into revenue for them. Free services are not free, they have a cost - hidden or not- to you as a consumer.
There are so many bubbles of tech companies trying to be the next big thing, people trying it our, and then getting bored with it. With so much money invested, how could they possibly get such a return on it?
Maybe this is over my head. But how would one rung a "safe" DNS server then? My interpretation of the article basically says to let only specific people use your DNS server, but then how would a company run a public resolver?
For example, Google runs open public name servers on 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, same with OpenDNS, and many, many more. What is to stop those servers from being used in this sort of attack? Is this article really advocating a situation where you MUST use only your own ISP's resolver and trust them not to do what so many of them consistently do and mess with the results?
Or am I completely missing the point to this article?
Two different things. If you are running a DNS server yourself, for your own domain then you should only respond to requests for your domain from the outside. IE - Non-recursive. The only answers you serve are for those queries you are authoritative for. You only accept recursive queries from inside your own network. Those are the recursive ones.
Public servers would use rate-limiting to to protect against being effective in spoofed attacks.
The vortices of planes last a long time. At airports when you are dealing with the big planes they have to leave minutes later so that the vortices have time to dissipate. Otherwise there is severe turbulence for the next plane. Watch a plane coming down through fog and see how long it takes for it to settle down...
It is drafting in a sense... The vortices off of the wings create a slight updraft which reduces the effort that the trailing birds need to expend. I think Mythbusters took this one on. There is an effect but the trailing plane has a very narrow margin that they have to stay within to see any benefit.

You can upgrade them. It isn't like these are monolithic computers. You can upgrade network capabilites, change processors.
Honestly, having LinkedIn blocked is the least of the worries that US should have about Russia.
They installed a sympathetic president. I would say they have good enough professional network.
It was confirmed that Ecuador that cut off his Internet..

Yes, two SSIDs, separate channel for traffic

All of the embedded devices - phones, tvs..., Wii, Heck it is on my Blu-Ray player as well...
Roid rage much? Drugs haven't affected you at all I see. Or you are just an asshole...
No, there are strict rules for vertical and horizontal separation for planes depending on VFR/IFR http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_(air_traffic_control) Not likely this will be changed anytime soon for safety reasons...
The vortices of planes last a long time. At airports when you are dealing with the big planes they have to leave minutes later so that the vortices have time to dissipate. Otherwise there is severe turbulence for the next plane. Watch a plane coming down through fog and see how long it takes for it to settle down...
