What are you talking about? Businesses are free to negotiate however they see fit under Proposition 54. This is about letting the PUBLIC see the legislation they paid for with PUBLIC money before it is voted on by lawmakers the PUBLIC elected.
Whatever happened to taking personal responsibility for the consequences of your own stupid choices? People buy the cheapest junk they can find so they can save a few bucks. Then they act surprised when they find it's made from cheap parts and shitty overseas workmanship. I bet the same people complain when the government intervenes by banning these shitty products for peoples own safety.
Is it the factories fault for undercutting their competition to manufacture the cheapest product? Is it the workers faults for lack of skill, or not caring because they are overworked and underpaid? Is it the merchants fault for selling the cheapest product people are actually willing to buy? Is it Amazons fault for letting merchants sell low quality products? Or is it the consumers fault for buying the cheapest crap possible? They are all at fault, but the manufacturer wouldn't make, the merchants wouldn't trade, and Amazon wouldn't sell the product if consumers didn't ultimately buy it.
Pfft. I don't want some cheap knock-off Chinese explosion. I have standards. Genuine Samsung batteries burn hotter for longer thanks to rare earth minerals.
It's the old "hey, look over there" trick. Whenever the limelight shines too bright, just deflect attention somewhere else. All politicians do it. "Yeah, I did something bad, but look at the telly ban, they cut peoples heads off!". Same happened with the Sony hack when North Korea got the blame. Never mind that crucial evidence pointed elsewhere and North Korea doesn't have the capacity anyway. The poor bastards can't even configure a DNS server properly. Admittedly North Korea didn't help themselves by publicly declaring their intent to retaliate against Sony.
[Foursquare] disputes the findings, claiming that email addresses were simply cross-referenced with publicly available data from Foursquare. The data includes emails, usernames and Facebook and Twitter IDs, which could have been scraped from Foursquare's API or search.
So what Foursquare seems to be saying is that anyone can access their customer data via their API, therefore this was not a data breach. Did I understand that correctly? I didn't RTFA of course, so the data disclosed via API could be harmless, but it just doesn't seem like a good idea to make customer data publicly available.
Google let people fix problems in Google maps for a while. I improved many roads in my area. Then some tards abused it and Google shut it down. Now everyone loses.
Everything you mention is already happening. North Korea has a major trade link with China at Dandong. North Korean border guards are easily bribed, though they have raised their fees recently in the face of stricter controls. A cheap Chinese made portable media player known locally as the Notel is popular in North Korea. Note the brand in the image on that page, SANSUNG:-). People can buy these on the black market since around 2005 for about $50, cheap enough for them to buy with their own money without our help. It has USB ports, SD slot, plays DVDs, radio tuner, and TV tuner. And like Cuba, foreign content is smuggled into North Korea on USB thumb drives, and people swap content via sneaker net. The device was legalised by the regime in 2014, so even state run shops and markets will sell them now.
This is a big deal. I give the example of my mother making an international phone call when I was a child whenever I hear someone say there is no technological progress like there used to be. The whole process was quite a chore, and expensive. We had to go to the central post office in a big city, during working hours of course (through the snow, uphill both ways... just kidding). There was a special room with three phones on the wall and a person at the counter. We had to tell that person what country we wanted to call and what phone number. He then went into another room where he made the connection, probably with the help of overseas operators via some combination of undersea cables and satellites. When he made the connection he told us which phone to use. The call cost something like $10 per minute, which was a lot at that time, and the sound quality was poor. Literally every single part of that process has improved since then. Each improvement was small and incremental, barely noticeable, but together they changed the way we all communicate. I can now make a phone call to anywhere in the world for a few cents per minute, from something which fits in my pocket. That is amazing. I can't wait to see what incremental changes do to the way we drive cars in my lifetime.
Except Apple. They just have to fart in the general direction of their customers and shareholders throw more money their way. Sweet sweet unicorn farts.
We had an audit recently. The guy was a recent accounting graduate and had no freaking idea. PHBs wanted boxes ticked, he didn't care, we didn't care, so we said whatever we had to to help him complete his paperwork and move on. Everyone was happy.
Jacob needs to fix it. It's your duty Jacob, no matter what shit they try to throw at you.
Do I detect a hint of narcissism coming from the AC? Are you trying to say that Jacob is the only person in the whole world who can fix Tor, no matter how many other skilled developers work on Tor and no matter how much they don't want to work with him?
I still use FreeDOS regularly to run 20 year old research software. I use DOSEMU, which lets me edit files and move data around in Linux, and then read them into the DOS program without stopping and starting a virtual machine. So I have a DOSEMU terminal open, and my favorite text editor next to it, and maybe tail the log file in another terminal, all at the same time.
That old DOS software is still superior to any new point-and-click software. The config files leave a precise record of what parameters I set, and the logs leave a precise record of the result. It's fully auditable and reproducible, which is what science should be. And it will still run just as well as the day it was bought in another 20 years from now. The director tried to get us to buy some 'modern' software to do the same task. It 'only' cost $5000 and ran in MS Access. He was surprised when I refused the offer. Does it leave a written record of what I did? No. Are the results reproducible? No. Will it still run in 20 years time? Fuck no. Some things aren't broken yet, leave them alone.
I never even thought about watching port and jacking off at McDonalds before this fiasco. I was just thinking about useless issues such as how to provide universal healthcare, or how to reintegrate incarcerated people into society, or how to support people in the lower socio-economic strata of society into productive employment etc. How foolish of me. But now I want to know, can I still jack off at McDonalds without watching porn?
You might like variants such as Kubuntu or Xubuntu better, which use KDE and XFCE respectively by default. I don't like the default Ubuntu desktop either, but XFCE is a great light weight no-nonsense desktop.
They did fit into a 5.25 inch bay. Mine was 1.2GB! One of the most attractive designs I have ever seen in a HD. Also the only HD I had that spectacularly failed. I seem to remember at the time they had a reputation for failing. Maybe something to do with the platter size, and the reason we don't have 5.25 inch HDs anymore.

No, it's a prime number.

Or just sue the company with the most money.

Russia makes the worlds most powerful dildo. USA could elect the worlds most powerful women. This is going to be interesting :-)
OK, taking one now. But how can I make a valid 'digital signature', and what should I do with it?
Yeah, we are supposed to believe North Korea p0wned Sony too, but the poor bastards can't even configure a DNS properly. Hogwash.

He needs to be careful not to milk that meme too much. Indonesia has the death penalty. The steaks are too high.
Please, for the love of humanity, I beg you, don't drop out of college.

Why? You can stay with your old telecommunications provider. Nobody will force you to change provider. Why shouldn't other people have the choice?

So what's the second thing that us ignorant peons get to learn? Besides Engrish.
