The tools are used to assemble detailed profiles on specific users including the kind of computer they use, the applications and web browsers they have installed, and what web sites they visit.
Operating system and one browser, sure. It's part of the User-Agent field of an HTTP header.
But how can they know which browsers you have installed? And "applications"? Apart from knowing if you have Flash and Java installed, I don't see which applications they're talking about. My browser sure as hell isn't broadcasting that I use Apple's Keynote.
The answer to a crackdown on Bitcoin is to move to more anonymous altcoins which, unfortunately, might actually be useful for money laundering.
But which altcoins have sufficient transactions volumes to equal Bitcoin without being suspicious and with amounts big enough to be useful to the terrorists? I can't imagine them trading one million U.S. dollars worth of Earthcoins, somebody's going to notice...
What can account for the enduring myth of Red Mercury — is it rampant scientific illiteracy, the power of urban legend and shared myth, or something else?
It is a good deal if whatever the Kickstarter is about doesn't exist at the moment. A perfect example is The Link, a quick-release arcade joystick shaft.
Backing a sub $300 3D printer, that's stupid for example. Just in raw materials you need $150 for any printer (electronics, hotend, motion parts). Add production, shipping, R&D, and you'll go over that.
Depends on the 3D printer. If you assume the "standard" parts then yes, I might agree with your $150 for the parts alone. But the Tiko 3D bypasses a lot of those standard parts and even has one member of their team in China to oversee the manufacturing.
I don't know much about Uber, I don't see how their model is different from a regular taxi. They both need to pick you up at your current location and then you need to tell them where to go.
I don't see how Uber knowing in advance where you want to go could change the outcome.
You only have 500 units to make, you use a commercial-grade laser cutter and CNC router. Let's say it takes one year to make all 500 units.
You have 150K units to make: - you use the same setup and ask your backers to wait up to 30 years to get their unit - you multiply your prototype manufacturing setup by 30 to be able to ship them all within one year, hoping you can increase your team in size 30 times with everyone knowing the product as much as needed to do the assembly. This will require more detailed assembly documentation, etc. - you use a real company for the manufacturing but in the process you change the fabrication method, you may need to have custom tooling done, your costs go way up.
You know how wind cools you down in a hot summer? Well, without wind you'd feel more warm. So of course you can deduce that the Earth itself works in the exact same way. Because science!
And since more and more people are interested in making applications for Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Apple TV, the percentage of Swift programmers should rise faster than the decline of Objective-C programmers.
You're talking about things that are either more suited to an intranet or Web games, both of which require javascript to work.
I'm talking about plain, regular websites that put up information that we access to view and read, and the infestation of javascript-powered ads on those websites.
I would be happy if there was a central place that all the advertisers could access so that they don't waste their time trying to show me ads for things that I will never buy. It annoys me, it wastes my banwidth, it wastes my time and it's also a waste of time and money for the advertisers.
I really wasn't trying to be condescending or anything, it's just that we see APK's posts on host files so often that you literally have to be new to Slashdot to not know about APK. Although I do admit he's been posting a lot less lately, but sometimes he wrote his wall-of-text posts several times in the same discussion.

As a child, they kept telling me that monsters were not real.
But in fact, the cookie monster really does exists.
I'm wondering if Lynx reports the resolution as columns x rows? (ex: 80x50)

It's because it sounds a bit like fReddie Mercury.

We couldn't intercept them without encryption, imagine if they had used any!
I don't see what they're complaining about. In a few years, the drivers for both taxis and Uber will be replaced by computers too.

Look boy, either you're a programmer or a farmer. Pick one already!

Nope, didn't help. At all.
