Technicians can fix the copper line “if the customer does not qualify” for wireless service. In those cases, the tech must document the reason the customer didn’t qualify for VoiceLink.
“It is a requirement that migration to VoiceLink be your first option when the customer qualifies and the trouble is in Verizon's network,” the memo says.
So it looks like if a tech is called to a site where all they have is voice over copper, and they're having issues with said VOC, then the techs are to simply test to see if the wireless service will work there, and if so, switch them to it. If not, then fix the copper line.
I'm not defending Verizon, but the headline here is misleading.
Police are NOT dangerous, unless you make yourself a target by refusing to comply or acting like you are dangerous to the officer.
If a police officer walks up to you, they now own your time, right? And so whatever they want you to do, you now have to stop, and do whatever they say, or they have the right to shoot you, even if you weren't breaking any laws. Am I clear?
The officer doesn't want to shoot anybody if for no other reason than the piles of paperwork it causes, but they also just want to get home to their families safe at the end of their shift.
"Wow, paperwork, what a drag. Forget about the poor bloke that I just shot, and his family, me getting back to my family is much more important, because, well, I'm a cop!"
Make their job easier by not acting in ways that get interpreted as threatening and you are more likely to walk away, even if an officer is having a bad day.
Making their job easier is now my job, and allows me the possibility of walking away. And if an officer is having a bad day, that should grant him/her an allowance. Not me though, because, well, I'm not a cop. Cops should never take into consideration that we're all humans and everyone has bad days.
Treat them with respect, even if only to protect yourself, because they are only human and make mistakes.
Again, treat them with respect, to protect yourself. Because hey, maybe they're having a bad day, and shooting you just relieves some tension. I mean, they're only human cops. You're just a human non-cop.
In the vanishingly few instances where an officer makes a mistake in judgment, most departments are quick to correct the failure.
You obviously haven't been watching the news in the last 5 years.
My advice is to choose to live, don't get yourself shot by getting crosswise with the police today, so you can complain and get the problem addressed when it's all over.
The problem today is a combination of how we discipline (or lack thereof) people when they're children, and how we discipline people when they're adults. Of course, I'm assuming that you'd be okay with a teacher shooting a child at school who has an attitude because, well, authority.
As long as the sound isn't horrible, it's just a matter of listening to the music, and not the equipment. I know a guy that hears a song he likes on the radio, goes home to youtube, and gets it directly from there using some browser extension that downloads an MP4 video. In order to strip the MP3 out of the MP4, he then runs it through a simple bash script:
#!/bin/bash
OPTIND=1
while getopts "dh" OPTION; do
case "$OPTION" in
d) DEL=1;;
h) echo "-d will cause the original to be deleted"
esac
done
shift $((OPTIND-1))
for i in "$@"; do \
WAV=$(echo "$i" | sed 's/\.mp4/\.wav/')
MP3=$(echo "$i" | sed 's/\.mp4/\.mp3/')
mplayer -quiet "$i" -ao pcm:fast:file="$WAV" -vc dummy -vo null -channels 2
lame -h -b 192 "$WAV" "$MP3"
rm "$WAV"
if [[ "$DEL" = "1" ]]; then
rm "$i"
fi
done
Sounds fine. Not like a concert, but certainly good enough to enjoy on a CD.
The Moon missions stopped because how many moon rocks do you really need?
Just one, the whole one. I mean, a huge "rock" circling the earth, always facing one side toward the earth, has gravity enough to occupy, is known to have frozen water mixed in with the dusty rock... but has no value to science? Crazy*.
But back to my point... Applying science is the sign of intelligent life, and must fly in the face of competition. So many are looking for intelligent life out there, and for what?...another contestant in the Olympics?...technology to use for $OUR_COUNTRY to have... more money/power? Crazy**.
*very limited approach to science
**mental illness
You're right (of course there are some that say that the moon trip was a hoax, inspired by competition), but we haven't been to the moon in a very long time. So that only gives my point more credit. Competition was the driving force, and once the competition was over, so was all forward momentum of that project.
The true value to science, is to bring about an overall understanding of the universe, that in turn, unites all. If the development of scientific tools, such as this one, causes or brings about the idea of competition, then that's an indicator of a lack of scientific ability.
You have a good point, but going along with the point that BrendaEM made, all we're doing with the videoing of cops, is the same thing that was originally done when making someone a cop. We look at the video as the final truth, the "displayer" of pure truth. And to that you're saying that is a measurement, and I cna't disagree completely, yet. However, this guy introduces some variables that should be taken into account before we all just move all of our faith from the police officers to video.
AFAIK Google's isn't open source, but I don't think anyone is paying directly for it. I recently bought a $28US phone that came with the android OS. This came installed on the device (it's built into maps), and it works very very well. So I think the question is worthless to answer.
Sure, if there's an open source option, then the world can rest assured to be able to tinker with it themselves and that. And yes, Google could pull the plug on it. But for some reason, I feel that Google would just release it to the public before they'd simply toss out all that development. The task of building such a database of info, mixed with the ever-changing roadway of each country... no way anyone else, besides some huge corporate entity, could ever start from scratch. And even if they did, what would be the reasoning behind anyone using it, rather than Google's?
Hahaha... for some reason, this video came to mind. Just another fine example of stupid assumptions based on, and exposing, a woman's desire to be a sex object.
He also noted that the effects of a data incident typically don't have many ramifications on the stock price of a company in the long term. Under the circumstances, it doesn't make a lot of sense to invest too much in cyber security.
And that's the bottom line. And this should worry people that put so much personal data on social media, but it won't. Honestly, there's no news here, considering that not many care about their own personal data's security.
They're allowing encrypted traffic to traverse their network. How's that any different than folks hosting a Tor exit node?
The real question here is, how did the police discover this IP address was associated with CP? As I understand it, and maybe I'm wrong, but if you're finding CP that came from the Tor network, then you know that the exit node that the offending data came out of wouldn't have been the source. How would a warrant have been granted based on such loose evidence? I mean, this type of situation should be happening more often, no? Seems like every Tor exit node would be raided at some point, because Tor is used for so much illegal activity.
Following the same set of logic exhibited here, UPS and FedEX should be raided every 3 hours.
I see that you actually read the article, nice. But for those that didn't, here's why fluffernutter mentions $157:
The board itself, which starts at $117, will not operate on its own. To make it a full-fledged usable device for projects and other uses, you must add the SolidPC Q4 single-board 'carrier' computer which is $40. In other words, you are looking at a minimum of $157
Let's not get carried away by red tape my friend. The anonymous hacker here was simply trying to bring to light the events that were happening at this hospital. Mission accomplished. Zero dead/injured.
I would never have done anything like this, but I see, and respect the point.
Good on you for moving your child from that crap school. I recently took my child out of the public school system. I'm noticing that whatever my kid learns, whatever we discuss in "class" that day, when we go out in the world, my kid sees what we learned everywhere. What my kid learned today in "class", is realized that evening. THAT'S where learning takes place; in the twilight of "class", where the kid feels at ease with the vastness of the world, and feels able to connect the dots.
The description doesn't tell the full reason, so I'll include it here:
I knew that BCH’s big donation day was coming up, and that most donors give online. I felt that to have sufficient influence to save Justina from grievous bodily harm and possible death, as well as dissuade BCH from continuing its well established pattern of such harmful “parentectomies,” I’d have to hit BCH where they appear to care the most, the pocket book and reputation. All other efforts to protect Justina weren’t succeeding and time was of the essence. Almost unbelievably, they kept their donation page on the same public network as the rest of their stuff. Rookie mistake. To take it down, I’d have to knock the whole hospital off the Internet.
I also knew from my career experience as a biotech professional that no patients should be harmed if Boston Children’s was knocked offline. There’s no such thing as an outage-proof network, so hospitals have to be able to function without the Internet. It’s required by federal law, and for accreditation. The only effects would be financial and on BCH’s reputation.",/i>
I was thinking along the same lines. A tedious interface generates carefulness in selection. Large-scale DNS changes are rare, but crucial to get right.

3 digits only provide 1,000 different numbers. After 41 days, they'd be out of numbers. What am I missing?

I'm talking about editing video then releasing it to the public.
I have yet to receive an ad from any app, or email in the last 5 years. And if anyone wants to use my data for profit, good luck, I'm poor on purpose.
