It was a type of cold sore. Oddly, the medication to keep it away is typically used for STDs
That makes sense, since cold sores are a symptom of the herpes family of viruses. Not necessarily the same strain that you would contract as an STD, but herpes nonetheless.
Yeah, but you understand the reason you're not supposed to eat is that you could be risking your own life if you have food in your stomach while you're under general anesthetic. You can puke and choke on it. (Risk may be doubled depending on origin of meal...)
I've been to what looked like a legitimate video store in a mall in Malaysia. By "legitimate," I mean the employees were all wearing polo shirts with the store logo embroidered on them, the product was all neatly arrange on shelves in alphabetical order, the whole bit. There was one shelf right inside the front door offering "imported" DVDs for something like $40. Everything else in the entire store were Asian bootlegs. When I told one of the employees that you couldn't buy the original Star Wars Trilogy in the US (as you couldn't at the time), he seemed legitimately baffled. He'd probably personally sold hundreds of them.
That's a little different from claiming pirates are building businesses based on BitTorrent, though.
No one I know has ever paid money for pirated media. That's kind of the entire point. What is this drivel about business models?
I've seen pirated media distributed as encrypted RARs. To get the key, you typically have to click along through a whole bunch of advertising sites, maybe answering surveys or something similar, possibly picking up some malware along the way, who knows. I'm sure some people are naive enough to "pay for" their media that way, particularly young people who see it as being free anyway.
We know where the bases are. So we send the population to the bases so we can know where the bases are so we can bomb them?
I think the point is that we don't know where the bases are, but Pokemon GO assets are geo-scattered semi-randomly. If they end up in places that are easily accessed by the public, they will get "found." If they end up in interesting-looking locations and are never found, that's a hint that no civilians are supposed to know about/go to those places.
Are you claiming that YouTube ought to require each uploader to provide evidence that he owns copyright in the video (or has an appropriate license from its copyright owner) and that it is not an unlawful derivative work? If so, what steps would an uploader need to take to provide this evidence?
The short answer, for those who don't understand how copyright works, is that it would be literally impossible for Google to require such evidence, because in most cases there isn't any. Copyright is automatic. For you to own the copyright on your own creative works, you are required to do literally nothing.
Mmmmmm, no, my message for Timmy was "Happy Birthday" and $100. If Timmy got an application letter to ISIS then I most definitely did not transmit that message. A transmission took place and Timmy received a message; just not one from me.
I understand that you're trying to explain how a MITM attack works. I'm more trying to explain how evidence works in criminal trials. Just because a message exists doesn't mean I wrote it. You would have to prove that... not just that an envelope left my mailbox and ended up in Timmy's. For starters, the mere fact that there was $100 in the envelope helps establish motive for someone to want to tamper with it. But you say, "Prove you put $100 in there. Where is it?" But as I am the defendant, the burden of proof is yours, not mine. And it would make sense to any reasonable juror that if I say I sent Timmy a birthday card, I probably did. Even more so if I can produce a receipt from the Hallmark store near my house from three days before the letter was sent. Where's the evidence that I sent something else? What would be my motive?
Not this juror. You'd still have to explain to me who conducted the original attack, why, and when -- the latter being the most crucial. If you can't prove when it happened then there's little evidence it happened.
Suppose the FBI* wanted to present evidence against me in court, which allegedly I transmitted over HTTP, telnet, SSL, or some other insecure protocol. Could I not validly say that the message was forged by a man-in-the-middle?
You could say that, but a prosecutor only needs to prove that it was you who transmitted that message "beyond a reasonable doubt." You would be innocent until proven guilty, but "the dog ate my homework" is a pretty weak defense.
On a semi-related note, during the "Zip wars" in the early 90s there was a fake file compression program circulating called NaBoB that claimed to use some sort of quantum compression techniques (all compression algorithms named after quarks) to cause your files to hit "the singularity," where every archive would be reduced to a single byte in size.
Naturally, all it really did was rename your files, hide them, and write a one-byte "archive file" in their places. When you "decompressed" the archive, the full-size files would be restored. Miraculous!
What is FEDGOV? I mean, I think it doesn't take too many brain cells to assume it means the US Federal Government, but why is the submitter putting it in all caps as if it was some kind of acronym, or a secret code phrase? Apparently FEDGOV is something that maintains "semi-secret databases of financial transactions" (what does that mean)? This all sounds like conspiracy-theory gobbledigook to me.
At first I was scratching my head because I know for a fact Intel didn't create Vulkan, at least not on its own. It seems what actually happened is that a while back Intel added Vulkan API support to its open source driver for its own graphics chips, and that is what has been integrated into Mesa.
My experience with Java EE has been that it's too complicated to be worth it. Plus the recent push for microservices has displaced Java EE's biggest advantage of being scalable.
This exactly. I doubt even the people crying about Oracle not investing enough in it use it as much as they once did, either. Even before the microservices fad, people were using Java EE alternatives like Spring, both because they were easier to get your head around and because most people who did use Java EE were only using some of it and for them the rest was just cruft.
You can sign away all kinds of things in employment contracts where you'll never be held accountable for what you signed. For example, non-compete agreements are unlawful in California but I still see them all the time. Same with renter's agreements; I see all kinds of contracts that people have just photocopied from some do-it-yourself law book that could never be enforced in my municipality. You might still need to go to court and get a judgment in your favor to have that recognized, though.
Maybe that was actually the point. It's a "poison pill" clause. It's well known that Mayer has been against selling off the company all along but her hand is being forced by the board.

Is it just me, or is a "summary" that spans two full pages a bit much?

I believe you mean "incented," not "incited," and ... bad news.
I agree with your sentiments on raising a family but since you insist on calling it "SanFran" I, for one, can't wait for you to leave.

I'm already imagining the terrible, direct-to-streaming horror movie based on Pokemon Go.
Quickly, ScriptBot! Let's have those first few scenes...

My actual, literal first thought was: "WTF? Why doesn't he fix his damn house?"
I'll get the lights on my way out.
Which raises the question: Is the uselessness of /. editors a finite set?

This story doesn't appear to have anything to do with exit nodes, so maybe there's your answer.
Police dogs are trained to "alert" on command.
