Unlikely. Plenty of big companies have had data breaches are are still operating. Part of the risk management is having a good PR ready to go so that when the inevitable happens you can smooth it over with excuses and carry on. The fact is that Cloud plus PR plus anticipated losses plus additional insurances are still cheaper than on-premise. From a business point of view it's a no-brainer.
But the police don't win. The police tell you they win, and they parade a bunch of the dumbest people on the planet to demonstrate the point, but all the super yachts in the world tell me the police aren't winning, merely creating a situation that is palatable to the masses.
I've been in this game for 20 years and have always been a janitor. Janitors are still needed, so as long as you learn to be good at it, you'll always have a job.
The techs don't even need to get together. Any one of the top ten tech firms could buy all of Hollywood on their own. I'm not sure why this hasn't happened already, buy all (or most) the studios, then introduce a 21st century business model and monopolise on the content. We all know people are willing to pay for content if it could be distributed effectively, it just needs someone born after to 1937 to make it happen.
You mean embryo right? Because a daughter (or son) is a human, whereas most abortions are performed on embryos. True, most pro-lifers deliberately confuse these terms to try and make a political case. But unfortunately for them Science isn't as easily confused.
Yeah quite obviously IBM use Lotus Notes and Google use Gmail, I was making a point that Exchange/Outlook still takes the lion's share of the market, and there is a reason for that.
I don't mind "fizzy piss", but if I visit any of the newer Pubs that specialise in craft beer then going from a real beer to the fizzy piss makes it undrinkable. Same goes for meat, cheese, or any food in general. The real stuff is worlds better than the manufactured stuff, it's just the real stuff is not easy/affordable to consume on a daily basis.
This is the problem with the Sci-Fi genre in general. The 70's/early 80's were golden years because the audience was discovering technology for the first time, and movies simply explored those concepts and presented them to a passionate audience.
It can never work the same because large numbers of the audience now understand very complex technical subjects. To make an equivalent SF film today that gives a technical audience the same sense of wonder would require extreme complexity that simply wouldn't sell outside the niche Slashdot-type crowd. So we're stuck with Jar Jar Binks for the foreseeable future. Get used to disappointment.
He is quite a bit older now. Since Replicants live short lives, and Deckard is a Replicant, how is this going to be reconciled in the movie?
You new to this sequel game aren't you? Google "Plot Device". The writers will insert any stupid mechanism that they feel like to keep the story going, regardless if it makes any sense or not. Yes you will hate it, but as long as the trailer has the words "Runner", "Ford", "Blade", and "Harrison" in it, the rest is unimportant in the making of a sequel.
Zimbra like Linux on the desktop is a me too solution that's almost there but always not quite. I've been on plenty of projects evaluating Email/Calendar/Collab solutions and Exchange/Outlook shits on everything each time, it's not pure chance that every major corporate network runs it. Lotus Notes is the next closest competitor and it sucks balls.
And since we KNOW we can't trust our ISPs or Govt, then you may as well give up on using security as a requirement. And since there really is only one product in the Enterprise email/calendar/collaboration space worth a damn and it isn't open source, then this argument isn't worth having.
This is probably another place Uber has erred. Uber's niche market shouldn't be professional full time drivers, it should be casual ride-sharing, ie I'm already going this way, why not earn a few bucks taking someone else with me.
An example, I used to commute interstate 3 hours each way each week. I used to advertise on the local community website for anyone who wanted a lift could chip in $20 and save a bus/train/air fare. It worked out a couple of times, but the nature of connecting casual travelers doesn't work as well on a website as it can with a phone app.
Another example, we have a "transit lane" (need 3 or more in the car to drive in it) from around my suburb to the city. It cuts the drive time in half, so people regularly stop at the bus stop and pick up commuters to share a lift into town.
So ride sharing already happens, a phone app is just a smarter way to connect both parties. Maybe the Uber model isn't the best way to achieve it, but legislation needs to be able to keep up with the changing nature of a modern society.
The flaw in this argument is that taxi drivers (in my country at least) are also strangers with no background checks. At least with Uber I'm more likely to get a normal person and a normal car than some no-English speaking smelly immigrant in a beat up old car that's done a million kms. I'm a big fan of regulations, but the taxi industry is one case which needs major reform.
Uber's only flaw is that they are trying to make money out of it. If there was an app that connected hitchhikers with hitchhikees, and the relative safeguards of GPS, tracking and a reputation system, and the fee was a "suggested donation" (this gets around the professional driver legality which is killing their model), then I'd be a regular user. If you turn off Fox News, you'll learn the world isn't that bad a place, and most of the time, most people are not out to murder you.
I'll throw my mod points away for this response. Because cops and surgeons require special training, whereas you average taxi driver is worse overall at his job than the average punter on the street. It may be different in your town, but here the service is absolute shit, drivers are smelly, don't speak English and don't know where they're going. They fail to show up half the time, refuse to take fares unless it's worth it for them, and are generally the worst service you're ever likely to experience on a day to day basis. Credit card scams and sexual assault are also common, so given the choice, I'll take my chances with the regular man on the street.
Over even better, if you have govt resources, get an entire intel team hired as service techs for all the major storage vendors. Next time a service call is placed, go and take what you like at your leisure. I'd be surprised if this isn't already happening.
When I was an admin I used to setup and account called 'backup_svc' with full admin rights and read everyone's email. Quite unethical I know, but ultimately gave up on this because people's personal lives really are fucking boring as batshit. Even after you find nude selfies, office affairs and stories of the previous week's drug binge, it all becomes uninteresting really quickly. Private information is vastly over-rated.

Always wondered why technology doesn't just render all copyright obsolete. There's only 26 letters in the English alphabet, how hard is to generate every combination of those 26 characters over say 100 pages, then claim ownership of every book, movie script, and song yet to be written under prior art?
I give up on mainstream news because of this. MH370 was a classic example. There simply was no information other than the plane had gone missing without trace, but this didn't stop hundreds of news hours dedicated to worthless opinion and speculation. I actually got more useful info reading these pages because we have pilots and ATCs in our ranks who could offer an honest technical viewpoint without feeling the need to sex it up or oversell it. Any new News site needs to focus on useful information only and no fluff.
Or maybe a few mirrors instead? I know nothing about this, but surely a few strategically place mirrors could increase efficiency for very little cost?
I have basement with one single small north facing window (I live in the southern hemisphere). I decided one day to replace the regular glass with stained glass for a feature. The side effect is that the irregular shaped glass panels now spread light through out the whole basement rather than just one small windows sized square. Wouldn't a solar array benefit from a similar effect?

I was thinking the same thing. Is this actually a problem anywhere other than at teenager parties?

Ok, so Ford is going to be Deckard again.
He is quite a bit older now. Since Replicants live short lives, and Deckard is a Replicant, how is this going to be reconciled in the movie?

I'd be interested to hear what background checks the Indian taxi industry uses that would've prevened this guy from becoming a driver?

My wife is a teacher, she uses her publicly funded iPad for Facebook and recipes. I'd much rather they gave every teacher a guitar instead.
