Singapore is quite a remarkable country: it is ruled by one party since it became independent, but still it has little corruption and is very proud of this fact.
The rules for society have frozen since the independence: porn just as homosexuality is forbidden, and hetero oral sex was legalized about one decade ago (until then it was forbidden as well!). Also, they still punish people by caning, another remainder of the british colonial past.
Their low corruption index is attained through two main things: an anti-corruption agency that can act independently from the government, and lots of surveillance and spying.
Singapore is what modern colonial England would look like if there were no progress in society, and I guess mainland England is slowly developing into that direction again.
Its not enough to just be reactive about computer security. This still means that sophisticated attackers can hoard security vulnerabilities and develop advanced tools that find vulnerabilities the moment they are introduced. Instead, you should already design the system in a way that frustrates attacks and hopefully prevents some attacks entirely. A good talk about this:
The sun doesn't send its best particles. They bring in ionisation, they bring in cancer, they destroy our power grid. And some, I assume, are good particles.
We need to build a wall to protect ourselves from these particles, and we need to build it quick.
Next you'll be outraged that Microsoft donates windows and office licenses and support to RNC and DNC conventions. How selfish of them to donate their own products!
Obviously, drones are only killer robots when they are controlled by china or russia! And if you ever catch an US drone, you should better return it fast, or trump will make a furious tweet on twitter!
LOL you really believe that "fake news" is called that way because its wrong? Not at all. Its called that way because its against the opinion of the people calling it fake.
You people don't seem to understand how exponential growth works: you will always get to a limit. Whether its the limits of a planet or the limits of a galaxy, or some other limit isn't really relevant.
You "point them off into the stars" method has a couple of issues: first, its expensive resource wise to build and maintain those ships. Space colonisation is much easier doable with spaceships filled with fertilized human eggs, with actual infrastructure to breed and raise those humans once the destination is reached. Second, you need something to target those ships to. Either you target them into nothingness, meaning the people inside the spaceship is almost certain to die (who wants to go on your spaceships then?), or you target them at actual promising locations. But even there it might turn out to be hostile to higher life.
Congratulations! But even if you have the cure for aging you'll have to solve some (quite big) problems:
* The danger of overpopulation. If old people don't die, and young people keep making babies, our planet will become overcrowded soon. Which system should be implemented? A policy where you need permit by the government to have babies? Will we make a gigantic ponzi scheme where we put those extra humans on mars, then on other plantes, colonizing the galaxy? What when the whole galaxy is colonized? Intergalactic travel outside of our local group is quite hard, as expansion of space will make those galaxies leave us faster than light before we can get to them.
* The danger of cancer. Often when rejuveniating cells you put them in a mode where they like to multiply. You artificially increase the likelihood for cancer with this to an extent of almost certainity.
Well I didn't mean my comment seriously. I just wanted to point out that this is the usual reaction by people on the left to people right claiming that the elections are rigged or that the clintons kill people or stuff. Yes, maybe some of these things are entirely made up, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't deserve to get attention, as there might be stuff in there that's actually correct and it will be banned as well because its "fake" by some politically biased standard.
Being a private company helped the bakery that was forced to close because it didn't want to make a lesbian wedding cake really much. And unlike with facebooks, you can actually go to a different bakery you know, there is no network effect.

That's the desktop market share. On servers, Linux is market leader, and in IOT, its > 90%.

And the remainder is the battleground between the antivirus and the bloatware.

Rogue one contained quite many references to that movie, quite stunning.

Who cares about twitter. Its far more important that netflix gets their basic things right: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
I think they just wanted to confirm that antimatter doesn't behave differently here than matter does.
Dems lost because hillary sucks, period!
And because they were too arrogant to elect her instead of bernie who was overall ranking higher than her against trump.
The reality is that javascript is the universal language at the moment of 'get stuff done'
It is, but javascript is a gigantic mess, and therefore shouldn't be used for teaching, just like C++ (which is a mess too, but a smaller one).
I guess if its after oracle, you'll already have to pay them if you are asking these questions on slashdot.

two antennas! Nobody could have figured that out other than the geniuses at apple.
That will only work if there is something to inherit. For most people, there is nothing.

There isn't much brain between the eyes btw, its more above your eyes or behind them.

Why does this shit get not deleted as fake news?

HAHA good luck getting the FCC do anything beyond frequency management with the new administration.
Don't like it, go use some other social networking platform.
That's the digital life equivalent of "let them eat pie". If your friends are all on that platform, you can't say no.
Your argument also works for china: if you don't like living in china because of its oppression, just move!
