Mmm, I've had quite a few car radio's (when they still had physical buttons), where pushing the button changed the channel, while press+hold stored the current channel under the button.
When that first appeared I thought it a big improvement.
(I'm not happy with the current touch screen UI radio's I have in my cars, for many reasons, ine of them that I don't seem to be able to reliably store station presets)
I've donated regularly, but this year they annoyed me so much with their campaign that I stopped. I now understand they became so obnoxious to be able to pay their managers. I think I won't donate next time either.
As I understand it Wannacry only used an SMB vulnerability when it had already infected a PC via a mailed exploit. Only one employee opening an attachment could quickly infect a whole company network.
So, this one could be used in the same scenario even without having open shares on the Internet.
With this new renewables thing we seem to be reversing the normal order of things. Where we normally try to be as efficient as possible and use as few people as possible, with renewables it seems to be a good thing to employ as many people as we can.
"Yes. WPA2 provides isolation between users, for example, so you can't simply wireshark everyone else's traffic. WEP is broken and doesn't provide adequate isolation any more."
I just looked this up. Apparently this is true for so called WPA-enterprise, but not for WPA-PSK. With the latter the handshake between client and access point can be sniffed and the session key captured.
Depends on what you're writing. I wrote a fairly large Arduino library (Automaton) and to keep memory overhead to a minimum I really needed a linked list and pointers.
"People fleeing a war are given asylum until the war ends, after which it's revoked and they're returned to their country of origin."
You're probably living in a different Europe. In the Europe I live in hardly any of the immigrants who claim to be fleeing a war ever return to their homeland. They just stay here indefinitely.
> In places with good public transportation (e.g., Europe)
What? Have you ever been to Europe? I live there, probably in one of the places with the best public transport and it's STILL a disaster. Sure, I can get to work with public transport but it'll take me 3 times as long and I'll be stuck in a cramped space with people I don't want to be stuck with.
I'll just take the car, thank you, like most people around here who can afford one.
"you'll soon see the real reason why the Android platform has so many phones in the wild"
It's about choice. It's about competition. It's about all those things that will make America... (sorry, scratch that)
There's undoubtedly a lot of crappy Android phones on the market but there's also a lot of great phones among them. My current Moto Play Z is the greatest phone I ever had. Great battery life, SD storage, dual sim and everything works smoothly and reliably. At least as good as any Apple product but plays much better with others.
"Beyond that, having a credential only gives you an advantage in the job market if other people don't have it. It should be obvious if 100% of the population had college degrees total compensation wouldn't go up one penny, and your degree would be completely worthless."
Unless of course the country as a whole would be able to compete with the rest of the world more effectively if the general level of education goes up. There must be some reason people in western countries (and Japan) are still making a lot more than people in the rest of the world.

Seemed like the perfect trio: Back, Home & Menu.
Unfortunately Android (apps) seems to be moving away from there as well...

If you disagree, fine, but reply, don't mod down...
Now there's lots of replies but the original comment is invisible...

It's a wonderful new world.

OK, note to self: Use a random URL in the next version.
So I guess I'm lucky that I got the same diagnosis/treatment advice from the second specialist...

To me it sounds a bit like the principle EMDR is based on.

Well, that's a matter of taste. For anything funny, there's going to be at least one dude moping that it isn't funny. Try modding -1 funny...
No, guys, not informative, funny!

Of course not, everyone knows Shell's sitting on that.

Did I mention it's also a lot cheaper?
Funny how the URL says 15 million and the article says 1.5 million.

a sane locking system that would not have an override on the inside so that occupants can leave the room whatever the state of the electronic lock.
Fail-safe instead of fail-secure would have to be mandatory in these cases. What if there was a fire?

Osteopathy is quack medicine!
How dare you pollute Slashdot in this manner?
There used to be standards here, or was that before Trump?
Your man redundantly crossed out fish twice. (yeah, I guess I could have left out redundantly)
Slashdot would be posting stories about some automaker putting a glass roof in their car I would've called them crazy...
"mainly from oil and gas, which will be running out within your lifetime."
I should be so lucky. I'm afraid we're going to need some even more spectacular scientific breakthroughs to make that happen :(
Then why the tell did Samsung just issue a profit warning?
