If they decided to eat the fine and get sucked dry, they could spend every last dying breath telling everyone on the internet how injust this was. It would've gone on long enough for something to happen.
Do you honestly think the shareholders would in any way accept this? Any CEO of a company the size of Yahoo!!! who pulled a Lavabit would be replaced with a CEO who is more concerned about increasing shareholder value. At the end of the day, that is all that matters for any publicly listed company.
Just be thankful that Yahoo!!!!!!!! have a CEO who can balance keeping the shareholders happy while doing his bit to defend his country against a dangerous and insidious evil.
A shill posting a fake review is still committing defamation. A company whose purpose is to commit crimes is committing racketeering. This law covers fines for bad reviews from customers not negative reviews from non customers.
Nope. Shills always write GOOD reviews...saying something nice is NOT defamation.
A company whose purpose is to commit crimes is committing racketeering.
Nope. That company is committing a crime, it has nothing to do with racketeering unless the company is making and selling tennis rackets.

I don't think they mentioned official battery capacity or battery life numbers, but they did say "very easy to charge at night". That tells me it has 1 day of battery just like the Moto 360.
Honestly, the battery is the worst part of smartwatches currently. It ruined the Moto 360 for me and it comes close to ruining to Apple Watch, if it actually is only 1 day.
I would settle for 3 days, my Sony sw2 goes 4 days without charging. I was expecting the same from Apple, looking at the criticisms of the Android Wear watches which are all focused on the 1-2 day battery life. I don't want to charge a watch every night!! I get it, it has a nice screen and it's slim, and it's running a lot of sensors and wireless transactions, but still... just awful battery life!
Even charging every 3 nights will be a pain, you have to take your watch off and leave it in a charger. Better not forget your watch when you get up. A traditional watch runs for years before changing its battery, if it even had one, and many high end watches use so little power, they can be powered by the movement of your arms throughout the day.
No chance of that with the iWatch or any other smartwatch these days.
And since these smart/i/watches have lithium batteries that are not replaceable, your smart/i/watch has a built in ~5 year life time. At USD$350 a pop (for the womens size one).
But the benefits...ohh the benefits. You can share a doodle or your heartbeats with your friends! Instead of spending all the time and energy of pulling your phone out of your pocket to read a txt or look at your instasnapbooks, you can now save time by bringing your arm up and pressing the buttons and spinning the dial to do the same thing! so much more efficient use of your precious time and energy. And now you can talk to Siri like 1940's Dick Tracey ( come on guys, how cool is that! )
SolarCity is a horrid company. I am going through a nightmare. I told them not to come out and they did. They put a small hole in my roof which they claim they patched, but refuse to tell me where on the roof they put the hole. The keep sending my electronic documents to sigh even though I cancelled the whole thing.
SO yeah I've heard of them, and the can bite my shiny metal ass.
You think sudden butsecks is bad, it dont hold a candle to sudden solar panel installation.
ZMapp is not a mass-produced medication. It is an experimental treatment. Calling it "scarce" gives entirely the wrong impression -- it is amazing that it is available for clinical use at all.
It's certainly worth it to produce ZMapp in significant quantities -- people would rather take an untested drug than try to survive Ebola -- but there is no "scarcity" here. Perhaps if many people wish to try it we'll have a better idea if it actually works.
Wrong.
Calling it scarce completely fits all dictionary and popular use definitions of the word 'scarce'.
Here's the plan. Get the planet to permanently halt a specific scientific and technological development. Brilliant. So, if the human race never - ever develops the technology, we are all safe. Come on, who is stupid enough to buy this?
We already have hypersonic missles -- really! Most of the air-to-air missles shot from 1 plane to another are hypersonic and we've had these for decades. This is public knowledge..
Can you please stop confusing Supersonic with Hypersonic?
The *vast* majority of air-air missiles travel at less than Mach 5.
so you mean to tell me that the telcos that spend millions, billions on spectrum licensing don't spot rogue basestations mooching on their frequency allocations ? Or were all of these in unlicensed spectrum ?
The telcos either 1) did spot them, quickly realise who it was and quickly shut up tighter than a Republican asshole, or 2) knew all along, and shut the fuck up tighter than the proverbial Republican, or 3) fuckn liberals
Basically, it's actually pretty analogous to NetBurst. NetBurst came along to deliver higher clock speeds since that was the focus of marketing, with some hope of significant workloads behaving a certain way to smooth over the compromises NetBurst made to get there. the workloads didn't evolve that way and NetBurst was a power hungry beast that gave AMD a huge opportunity. Now replace high clock speed with high core count and you basically have Bulldozer/Piledriver in a nutshell. I'm hoping AMD comes back with an architecture that challenges Intel agin, just like Intel came back from NetBurst.
I dont think it is as easy as that. If there were any major architectural changes that could wring any more large performance gains from x86, Intel/AMD would already have implemented that. But all the low hanging fruit have already been picked. The days of huge performance increases due to architectural changes are long gone. Thats why we went multicore, but beyond 8 cores, the gains diminish rapidly. These days we focus on power efficiency, but that only gets you so far.
I think the next big gains wont come from the CPU architecture itself per se, but in fixing the other bottlenecks in the system. Just look at the massive gains you get from an SSD for example. We need advances in RAM and storage to realise big performance gains these days.
Putting that into context, a circle with the radius of 300 miles produces an area 282743 mi^2 or 732301 km^2. Which is moderately bigger than Texas and about 10% of the area of the continental USA.
Im sorry, but the context is insufficient. How many libraries of congress is it?
I personally think Anandtech does overtly good reviews of Intel CPUs. I think they never gave AMD a fair shot. Having said that I think it's one of the best resources for computer hardware reviews in addition to tomshardware, overclock.net.
AMD processors are just simply slower and their fastest can *barely* keep up with an i5 . I know the truth hurts, but there you have it.
It never seemed stupid to anyone with even a tiny bit of knowledge about history.
Write you God damned congressman. Get a picket sign. The house is on fire, just because you told the kids not to play with matches doesn't mean you don't need to grab a bucket now.
Why do people continue to perpetuate the myth that writing to* your Congressman will actually have any effect on their decisions? First off, if your letter is read by a human, it is most certainly not your Conressman who reads it, it is a staffer. Second, their decisions are negotiated and paid for by the system of Lobbying that is prevalent throughout the US government.
Even voting wont make a real difference, there are only two Parties to choose from, and they are not much different from each other at the end of the day.
* why do people continue to omit the word 'to' when talking about writing to a member of congress? wtf?
Orion Starblast 4.5s, which are cheap, compact and easy to carry, bulletproof, and easy to use.
Sorry, but I can confirm that these 4.5" Starblasts are not actually bulletproof. The mirror will shatter from the impact forces when hit in the center of the telescope barrel with a.38 caliber hollow-point round.
Also much harder to point them at any specific thing in the sky and holding them steady is a problem- especially for kids and especially big binoculars like 10x50.
No, its not a problem at all. Bring along an inexpensive green laserpointer. At night, its like holding an infinitely long lightsaber, you can easily point out night sky objects that everybody can see, even through binoculars and telescopes.
I thought people were allowed to have their own beliefs in this country without others attacking them for it.
You thought wrong. You thought VERY wrong.
We all have the right to mock you for a disgusting racist white-supremacist belief. I would go as far to say that we all have a moral obligation to call you out for that hideous filthy belief you support.
And you can take away my right to Free Speech from my cold, dead hands. You try to take that away from me, and I will fight you every step of the way until my very last breath.
Whereas in fact any engineer worth her salt will tell you that she
So you're saying that the only engineers worth their salt are females? That's insanely sexist.
Not only are they saying this, they are making assumptions and conclusions for a very small minority of Engineers, who are male, and then extrapolating this across the entire industry.
I call BS. They should have looked at male AND female engineers, not just women.
Seriously, what is the major malfunction of device makers that basic, guest share Samba support is never put into these devices? Everyone has it, everyone comprehends it. Just let us access a damn SMB share as a list of files and play things.
No one anywhere, ever, cares about the clusterfuck that is DLNA.
