Identify theft by itself is technically a crime. Some customers got overdrafts because money was withdrawn from one account without their permission to be put into another account opened without their permission. It's at best fraud by Well Fargo against their shareholders because the number of active accounts was fake.
Except to get the NHL Network, I can't pay $7 on top of my package. I have to go from a 45 channel package that's about the same price as my Internet service without the bundle to a 200-channel package that's about double the price. And yet after we paid $140 a year for NHL on demand streaming, they block out any games that are on NHL Network. So they want us to pay another $1300 a year on top of the $140 and still miss games where our team plays the "local team" 5 hours away.
There's a big difference between a guy saying "I want pussy" or saying "take Pam out for a cheap dinner and she'll give you all the head you want" and saying what Trump said. The offensive part isn't that he said the word "pussy". The offense is that he said he can just walk up to a random woman and touch her in the groin without asking and that he'll get away with it because he's important. So do you really want to make him one of the most important people in the world, when he's already proud of being able to get away with sexual assault?
Actually some people can write machine language. Assembly is mostly mnemonics so we don't have to. There's still no one assembly language. The assembly for IA32 is different from ARM or even from AMD64. They're as different as C++ vs. Objective-C vs. D vs. C-With-Objects.
Pi Zero is $5. Pi 3 at Micro Center is $30. Arduinos run from $4 to $40 and often need shields to do what a Pi 3 will do. They are in similar price ranges.
This thing is five times the price of a Pi 3. I can get a full-size motherboard, CPU, and RAM for $160. Hell, I can get an HP 2 GB Chromebox with a Celeron for $99. http://www.microcenter.com/pro...
A mandatory recall means the seller must ask the buyer to return them. It's still up to the buyer to do so. It's not mandatory in the sense that jackbooted thugs come to your house, take your phone, and hand you a check from Samsung in the middle of the night.
That somewhat depends on who ends up owning the self-driving cars, doesn't it? If I buy a self-driving car and sign up to be an Uber non-driver who gets paid for the use of my car am I a contractor, an employee (if I don't have to be present how could I be?), or a lessor?
Google's network is Google's property. Paramount can't just log into Google servers and take content down. Google's very specifically not playing police, too, because it makes no real decision. It has a policy about how quickly it takes things down and how quickly it needs a counter-noticed should one be needed. It just needs to comply with federal law so it's not found to be complicit when someone uses its services to violate the DMCA. That's what safe harbor is all about.
Regardless of any weakness in actionability against Paramount / Viacom, a counter-notice of "This is not that work" is all it takes to clear Google of liability to Paramount and allow them to put the Ubuntu ISO back up.
I'm not a lawyer and this isn't legal advice. I used to work in the security and abuse department of a major hosting company. Let me shed just a little light on the DMCA for those of you who don't know. Consult a lawyer for more details or about any particular case.
The DMCA requires that the recipient of the notice at a safe harbor host notify the party responsible for making the content available on the host. Then that party has a certain amount of time to file a counter notice saying the takedown request is erroneous and why.
Faking the takedown is punishable. Faking the counter-notice is punishable. Either party may make some mistake in that process, though.
The party that has no say is the safe harbor host. If you get a takedown notice and get no counter-notice you must take down the content permanently to keep your safe harbor rights. Most hosts take things down proactively and will restore them after counter-notice has been filed. This absolves them of legal liability from either side under the DMCA.
Google's doing what I understand the law says they must. Paramount / Viacom may have made an error or may have some hatred toward Linux, Ubuntu, Canonical, Shuttleworth, the FSF, or what have you. Google's doing what they are obligated to do in order to keep themselves out of the middle of any litigation over it.
There's also the Pine64, the CHIP, and the Onion (soon releasing the Onion2). I'm getting hungry just thinking about all the names. I need someone to make a Basil SBC so I can make a Pesto workstation.
Samsung is Korean. Nintendo is Japanese. Dell is USian. Sony is Japanese. HP is USian. Lenovo is Chinese.
When saying it's the best selling UK computer line they are comparing it to Sinclair, Psion, OpenPandora, and other UK companies that make and sell computers.
Right. You get all of that for $70, which was my point. So why is the celebratory starter kit $130, enough to buy another Pi on top of the $70 kit and an inexpensive keyboard and mouse?
It's only credit-card sized in two dimensions. It's more like a full deck of playing cards in the world most of us inhabit away from the screen.
It's also terrible that they are celebrating their $30 to $35 SBC by selling something triple the price. A starter kit like that often goes for more like $70 near me including the Pi 3. http://www.microcenter.com/sea...
With a multiuser, multitasking OS you can have 25 different unrelated processes running on something with 25 cores. Or you could have 25 threads in a dataflow arrangement where each is a consumer of what the last just produced. Or you could go over the members of an array or matrix 25 members at a time with the same transformation. Some things are serial, but there are plenty of ways more cores can actually be used.

Why would anyone?
Do they at least sign prenups?
This cannot end well.
Sorry. I had to. Written on three lines like that it looked so much like a Haiku, but wasn't.

Harrassment is illegal, yes. But is popularizing an offensive hashtag a "Serious Crime" as the name of the act suggests it's meant to address?
Search has always been around. The have four OSes now if not more (Android, ChromeOS, Fuschia, Andromeda). They've had email for more than a decade.
I want to know when I can by my an artificially intelligent pilotless airship that orders its own fuel and maintenance.
Except sitcom flashback episodes.

If you add stringent type checking, index checking, a GC, assertions, and introspection to a C program it gets much slower.

I don't think the TSA is okay with just asking "did your last reboot say your phone won't explode?"

You get to drive as fast as the posted speed limit for your commute? Where do you live, because it sure as hell isn't Houston?
