I am curious why just simple remote auto start/stop of your engine is not a standard option by now, it is something I had to add to me car via a 3rd party security system. It is mostly nice when heating up your car in the morning and turning on defrost.
Exactly, welcome to the World Wide Web people! 10-15 years ago when every company was getting their first firewall, I used to manage 100's of firewall for many companies. First thing that people would do is call me complain about the firewall logs showing all the port scans (mostly from Asia), this stuff goes on all the time, nothing you can really do about it, block on subnet they will use another. Unless you are getting DDOS'ed then you are fine. I good firewall will not send back a reject, but instead drop the packet so they can no detect you are there at all.
I have posted something like this before, but I think there need to be a company that certifies devices like home microphones and cameras and stamps them with approval if they follow certain ways of engineering these devices. For instance I would like to see these devices basically tie a external LED to com on or off via a electronic relay that is tied directly to the power of the mic and the camera. So if I wanted to install cameras inside my house that only come on when my alarm is going off, I would know they minute they come on by having a very bright LED that is saying "YOUR CAMERA IS ON" and if off the power is off. If you used right hardware and did this correctly there were be a zero percent chance that even a hacker could compromise the camera and turn the camera on with out the LED also being on. I do not trust the makers of these devices and I also do not trust that a hacker can not get in and watch also. I currently have IP cameras outside my house, but if someone hacked them I would not be too worried if they want to watch my driveway.
I thought the clock looked enough like a bomb to at least have it checked out. I think I could have been able to tell myself, but if someone protecting my child's school thinks something looks sort of like a bomb, I hope they check it out before letting it go myself. And I am not a "Islamophobe" at all, I just think when it comes to bombs and schools it is better to be safe than sorry, and no excuses are needed.
That is true, but to be honest, most gamers should understand by now that when you buy a game on the day it comes out you understand you want it sooner and are willing to deal with some bugs. If you want bugs fixed wait and buy the game months after release when they have had some patches. For instance I bought FO4 knowing there would be bugs, but if I am going to buy the game eventually I might of well check it out now and wait for some patches to come in to play most the game.
I think everyone wants better tracking, I mean I even think Oculus would agree that V2 might have something better, but this is a version 1, calm down things are all going to change and get better over and like comparing cell phone abilities. I am sure I will be getting a Oculus CV1 when it comes out, I really do not have the room for the VIVE myself, but I can not say I would not buy one in the future sometime on version 2 or something.
The first time I got drug tested by a job I was trying to get it was in a small doctors office, years later when I had to do the same thing again for another job it was in a drug testing facility that tests hundreds of people all the time like herding cattle. Testing companies have convinced employers that you can not afford to NOT test your employees, it could make you look bad in the press and cause bigger issues later. It is all a bunch a bullshit and they need to leave people allot, stop wasting money on testing everyone, that even goes for people on well fair as far as I am concerned it is a waste of money and a invasion of privacy.
This game ran great on my XBOX ONE console. I game mostly on my PC with a GTX780ti. But I take my XBOX ONE with my when I got on vacation and this year played Batman and this game is truly amazing looking and played great on the XBOX. I was amazed at how well the game let me drive the Bat Mobile around the city so fast and never had a stutter or slow down really.
NO it is not small, but it is not jail either, I think people should be furious when millionaires do not go to jail for something anyone else would easily be fucked for, but sure it will cost them lots of money.
It may help to start by comparing a wired connection to wireless first. The cable that comes to your home uses much the same frequencies that are used all the time over the air, but cable company can use the same frequencies that are used outside the cable inside the cable but lets them use the whole spectrum or at least most of it because you will always have a certain amount of leakage. Even in a new cable system, you will have lose connections that leak RF, the cable company knows this and the put special frequencies not used outside the cables in the cables that can be easily detected when they leak and drive vans around mapping when they spot that frequency. then they can check for lose connections that might be leaking other frequencies also. So what you need to understand is that each run of cable has a whole spectrum of frequencies allowed inside that can be shielded from outside interference, and therefore will always be better than a wireless connection in almost all ways when the cable is not having an issue anyway. The cable company can also divide the cables going to different areas/nodes to reuse the same frequencies for things like VOD so a frequency on one node can be used over again on every node for a different customers VOD stream for instance. This is something wireless can not really do since it would run in to interference in the airways. Now lets get to fiber, Fiber has a big advantage over copper cable in that you do not have to worry about electro magnetic interference at all, no issues with grounding or lose connections allow your frequencies out or other frequencies in to the system. It is easier to diagnose issue on the fiber using sensors that pick up back scatter reflections on the fibers. and currently they can support 400mbits per light frequency on the equipment that some providers use, with 80 frequencies per optical DWDM device, and I am sure they are already doing 1 terabit per frequency on newer lap systems etc with also more than 80 frequencies in use. The fact that you do not have to worry about electrical interference is a big deal, you either have the light levels you need or you don't and no interference to worry bout, you do not have to worry about electric spikes from storms or anything like that being carried over the fiber and it is also much easier to run equipment that would detect anyone messing with the fiber or trying to TAP it. So wireless might be nice and getting better all the time, it may be enough bandwidth today for some people, but will not be better than a direct connected wire or fiber.
I do not like my PC to even download updates on a schedule, I could be playing a game or even up working late all the time and I have to real time I can tell windows to update everyday or week. I do not mind just turning off Automatic updates then, but it would still be really nice to have my virus signatures update automatically but unfortunately when you disable windows update you also disable auto virus updates also. Microsoft really could do allot better.
Yep I used to use Laplink back in the win3.1 days also, with just a standard 9 pin serial cable I think. I think pcanywhere or some company like that also made a program to do this and included a serial cable.
I am sure you meant MB, but remember that it is Mb, like Mega Bit, bits per second is 8 x lower than Bytes per second, it is a big difference, and sometimes used to confuse people on purpose I think.
I have a great idea for an app, If someone does this cut me a check:) A cool app would be if you could take a picture of a women, like a waitress or something, and the app would scan a database of Porn Stars and suggest a porn star that looks similar to the one in a picture. Maybe even tie it to movies for sale for that porn star. Would be awesome.
Snarky assholes make snarky comments, go figure! There is nothing wrong with watching a movie just for laughs and to relax, not every movie has to be watched so that you can prove how much of a intellectual you are. If you did not like the movie that's cool, no reason to be a dick about it. If you watched this movie thinking it was going to be anything more than what you found, your the dumb ass, it was more than obvious.
I am 43 and I still like the Seth Rogan juvenile films myself, I knew it would be funny stupid and it was, no surprise there. But I will say I thought the whole film was twice as funny just because when they make fun of Kim Jong-un I just get this mental picture of Kim getting very upset somewhere and demanding they remove this movie from the internets!
I been playing online games since DOOM (yes online via dialup BBS) and I have never cheated, not even a macro, I think its cheating. I loose to cheaters all the time. But the day I start cheating is he day I will just quit. I got better shit to do that let my PC play the game for me while sit back and think I am cleaver, I would rather just go do something productive that probably should have been doing anyway.
The problem with a credit cars is that it is not smart enough to handle assigning a different transaction number per swipe. The fact we still use a system that has a couple numbers on a card that anyone can write down once and use until you notice there is a problem is dumb and the reason that selling people stolen credit card numbers happen so much. You may get the money back, but there is a hassle involved, the banks end up paying more, and just up their rates to make up for it, so everyone pays for a shitty system now. There is no reason with todays technology I can not assign a transaction number from my account for each payment that is good once, or maybe even mothy to the same payee until I revoke it. So it is not that credit cards are a hassle, they are just out dated, you can use something more secure that is also very easy to handle and keep up with on your phone.
It does not require the same path through the internet, but you wont be able to use one ISP's connection from packets coming back from the source of other connections IP address. you have to use one connection or the other, you could change your connections and restart you game, but the game will not let you change IP's during gameplay. This whole idea had lots of issues anyway, if both connections suck, you should just get a good connections, if you want to play games, a wireless internet solution is just not right for you. Pay for a good internet connection for gaming, I hear kids all day on server complain about their parents got on the internet and are watching Netflix and their ping went to shit, well the parents pay for the connection, so maybe you need to move a lawn once a month and just buy your own. I know it is possible to have 2 cable modem in one house, and each will not effect the others bandwidth etc..
Not to mention HBO, it has some of the most political shows on TV. Bill Maher, VICE, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. They run tons of political documentaries, Movies and Mini Series that cover lots of political issues with in the themes of those movies. Letting Fox News take that over is crazy.
You need to change the subject, no where does it state that Time Warner sold anything. TW Telecom was not a part of Time Warner anymore, it was broken off years ago, the name changed from Time Warner Telecom to TW Telecom so they could keep some brand recognition, but they could no longer use the Time Warner name. The news announcement states that TW Telecom was bought by Level3, so stating that Time Warner sold its telecom business seems wrong to me. Unless maybe Time Warner still owned some of the company, since Time Warner itself no longer is part of Time Warner Cable either, they were broke apart years ago also, so that Time Warner is mostly all just media holdings, like movies and magazines. Either way, I am pretty sure your title for the article is WRONG.
This does not mean by simply having WIFI turned on like this is might not make it easier for someone to hack in to your local network via a weakness in the modem, or for that matter be able to simple overwhelm the cable modem cpu with traffic, even if bandwidth is kept separate it still adds to the node bandwidth on the neighborhood that you are on.

I can not help but wonder if everyone that rides one acts like assholes rides slow while testing and thinks they own the whole skate park?
