... substantial, underlying problems that sustain a sprawling cybercrime syndicate, according to an industry luminary who painted a bleak picture of the future of information security at a conference of hundreds of incident responders in Boston Tuesday.
Everyone with a.co.uk domain name is now basically obligated to register (and pay for) another domain name within the next five years to avoid confusion.
Samsung and LG claim that the curve provides a cinema-like experience by offering a more balanced and uniform view so that the edges of the set don't appear further away than the middle...
Reality: the curved TVs provide a cinema-like experience by charging roughly four times what a reasonable person would pay.
But this is an open-source browser we're talking about. If we don't want DRM, we can make a build of it without the DRM piece.
Companies will use DRM schemes whether they're supported by browsers or not. I don't entirely agree with Firefox deciding to implement EME, but it doesn't actually matter all that much.
Yes, how dare they provide support for a large percentage of their userbase, rather than try to force their users to pay them more money for the latest version! Those bastards!
Seriously, I get that XP is old and there are real disadvantages to its continued use, but it's amazing to me that we've actually reached the point where MS is getting flack for not adhering strongly enough to planned obsolescence. Like, we want them to be greedier now and stop providing free updates? I'd like to believe that they'll continue supporting Win7 for quite some time. I don't particularly like the idea of forced paid upgrades, or the "subscription Windows" that everyone seems to think is coming.
I'd love it if people would start moving off of XP and onto modern OS'es, but that's not going to happen right away regardless of what MS does, and I'm not going to knock them for supporting their product long-term.
Network sitcoms are always like this, not just the ones about scientists. Yes TBBT has its flaws and if you're not into it, I can get that. But while it could have been better, let's face it: a Chuck Lorre sitcom on CBS about nerds could have been so, SO much worse.
Well, of course we aren't complaining about people who *can't* be vaccinated. If you can't be vaccinated, then that's that. It's the folks who can but don't who are an issue. Those who are opposed to vaccination are endangering those who can't be vaccinated, by the way. If everyone who can be vaccinated is vaccinated, then those who can't are unlikely to be infected, because other people aren't getting the disease.
It varied from system to system with Tandy. My still-working Tandy 1400 LT boots DOS 3.2 off a 3.5" floppy. It has no hard drive and the ROM only holds a simple BIOS.
The consumer is paying for it. That's why we pay the bill, and that's how ISP's make billions. That's how it has always worked. AT&T apparently is cheesed off about not getting two bites of the apple.
Yep, Woody was very difficult to set up. At that point, Linux didn't auto-detect much of your hardware, so you had to go through a lot of configuration to get X working. Woody was about where I started, and the release before it was even worse. Fortunately, the following release (Sarge) was dramatically easier, as was the release after that, which I believe was Etch. Since Etch, it has been very straightforward to set up Debian. Obviously there are still things to learn if you're new to Linux, but the out-of-the-box experience is very nice now. Still, Debian still has a bit of a reputation for being hard to install, based on the difficulty people were having with it 10+ years ago.
Sure, I'm aware of the differences between IS, SE, and CS. But we're not talking about "developers forgot to put it in" here. Apple and others are making a deliberate decision not to include rollback for end users.
I don't see how that's relevant here. Not including rollback functionality in the design is something that a SE or IS major could do just as easily as a CS major.
Rollback functionality is also not guaranteed to be perfectly functioning, error-free code, and there's no guarantee that reverting to the previous software version will also revert the user experience to its previous status.
"This is a backwards step because imposing a single charger stifles innovation, curbs research, and may impose extra costs on the consumer. The alternative and better action is to encourage diversity, competition and greater development..."
Seriously? How much "diversity" and "innovation" do you need in terms of a charger?
That said, I realize digital OTA TV is kind of awful. I can get a bunch of channels at my place, but I have to move the antenna to different spots in the room depending on the channel.

Fraud in accounting? Sure about that? Sounds like it's more likely your account just got hacked.
The words are synonyms. No, I don't care what your style guide tells you.

This will TOTALLY work. Detecting sarcasm will be DEFINITELY not be hard to do in software, seeing as how it's SO EASY for humans to do already.
But curved TV's give the appearance of a TV that will produce a better picture. That's something, right?

That is definitely an issue, but not the only issue.

I run Linux as my primary OS on my home PC.
It has dual boot with Win7 (rarely used) and VirtualBox with WinXP (used somewhat often for a couple of programs).
Yeah. If they had made a schematic of a truck, that would have been all wrong.
It varied from system to system with Tandy. My still-working Tandy 1400 LT boots DOS 3.2 off a 3.5" floppy. It has no hard drive and the ROM only holds a simple BIOS.
Most of the information on Wikipedia is "biased, misleading, out of date, or just plain wrong."

Even worse, most of it is plagiarized, drawing eyes away from the books, smaller sites and other sources that produced it.
Evidently, you do not understand what "plagiarism" means.
The consumer is paying for it. That's why we pay the bill, and that's how ISP's make billions. That's how it has always worked. AT&T apparently is cheesed off about not getting two bites of the apple.
Yeah, I'm aware it was even worse in the 90's.

Maybe because the companies didn't manage to figure out a reasonable solution on their own?
