It still bothers me how many Americans still accept their government's version of 9/11. It acceptance around the world is no where near as high as it is in America.
No, that's not the reason it won't work. Attitudes likes yours are why America is a cluster-farkle. I really really regret returning to this country; saving up to leave again.
The reason it won't work is our population. The US can't afford to even give this country poverty. $10k a year per adult (194 million people according to Wolfram Alpha) would be 1.9 trillion dollars. That's 1/6 of the US total expenditure per year, and that's no even providing basic income.
Also, "they'll just buy drugs and cellphones, and then we'll still have to feed and house them"... do you not understand what minimum income is? Minimal income would need to pay for food and housing.
Copyright infringement. Theft is a criminal act. Copyright infringement is civil. Civil violations shouldn't result in extraditions ever.
If the movie giants weren't behind this; if someone distributed petabytes of indie films that barely had enough to get their films out, this case would have never gotten this far.
"Fair Use" has much more protection in the US. Many other countries (Japan, and many EU countries) either don't have a concept for fair use, or it's very limited.
I think the issue had to do with driver signing. One of the updates fixes a kernel security issue with driver signing. But I think it was missing a dependency and so they got installed in the wrong order. Manually downloading and installing the missing updates fixes this issue. I suspect they either changing the singing key or location for the driver files.
I had all my networking, audio and video devices disappear. It turned out an update that depended on the Anniversary Update installed first.. or that's the best I can figure. I manually installed the anniversary update and it worked.
I typically don't have issues with Windows updates. I have a Windows laptop I use for games, WebEx, Illustrator and a couple of other windows specific thing. Everything else I do on my Linux main box or my FreeBSD laptop.
I'm pretty good ad admining and even I ran into this issue: http://penguindreams.org/blog/windows-10-update-kb3176493-all-my-drivers-disappeared/
It's the first breaking Windows update I've had in a long time, and it was pretty bad. Losing USB audio/video is terrible if one of the only reasons you have a Windows laptop is for work/video conference (I work remotely).
Microsoft's QA isn't as bad as Win95/98 era operating systems, or even Vista really, but Win 10 is nowhere near to par with previously releases. And with the forced upgrades, spy on everything by default, bullshit.. like I said. Only use it when I really need it.
Reddit has already been served a National Security Letter (we think.. the Canary is dead). At least they're not giving into commercial stuff, but remember they are owned by Conde Nast. It's like Google pulling out of China to symbolically show they give a shit about censorship.
There are people, who are making money, in non-profits and for-profit companies, to advocate/lobby this, implement this.. listen to this....
I'm done. Why are we not on Mars yet? We need a colony on there like thirty years ago. If we took half the effort all the people involved put into crap like this emoji bullshit, who knows.. maybe we'd have fully functional closed oxygen producing ecosystems by now? Technology to make sealed domes and keep out terrible solar radiation? Mars transport ships that can air-break and land?
I'd be the first to volunteer. Risking death on the journey to a new world would be better than having to read this bullshit every fucking day.
I bet today, most adolescent porn is produced by adolescents themselves. Australia's zero tolerance policy has landed many of them in jail for sending consensual pics to one another.
If a person is on parole, they are still incarcerated. They're incarceration is relaxed for a given amount of time, in an attempt to rehabilitate (that's the idea anyway). Keep in mind, prisoners are slaves. It's in the constitution. The US allows two types of slavery: convicted prisoners and people in military service.
So yes, they can attach any arbitrary rules.
The sex offender list is fucking terrible in the US for reasons stated in other comments. Uncle bill who rapes a 12 year old shouldn't be lumped together with an 18 year old who fucks his or her 17 year old partner (which is legal in George, but not Tennessee because we have wildly varying age of consent laws, which itself is totally fucked up).
The justice system has no interest in truly finding a solution to sex offenders. We just punish and punish and punish and give them no hope of being able to fix themselves. In Australia, the sex offender registry is confidential. No one can access it except for very specific jobs and living situations.
$60 for what's basically a Raspberry Pi (i.e some custom ARM board) and only 30 games?! The knock-off fake NES consoles from the early 90s they sold in India had like 200 games and cost less than that.
They should be like $40 and come with 60 ~ 80 roms. The price doesn't seem worth it.
He's already contributed tons to existing emulator projects and posted a lot of his stuff up on the Saturn emulation boards.
He hasn't released his rom dump yet, but I have a feeling he'll release the tools for people to dump it themselves once he gets his product into production.
He didn't just circumvent the DRM using a device that you have to solder between the CD drive and the I/O connectors; he cracked open the dedicated CD controller, which had been a black box up until now. Then he used an exploit in the VCD module slot to bypass the protect and load Sega Saturn CD images directly, bypassing the need of a modchip at all.
Did you watch the video? It's pretty drastically different than the traditional mod chips. His implementation requires no soldering of the existing components. The work is also amazing. He gets pretty detailed and shows the dumped assembly code.
Also, existing mod chips still require a functioning CD drive, and those parts are slowly dieing in existing units. His modifications allow reading images straight from a modern data source.
They'd have to introduce this at the ISP level, similar to how Time Warner Cable sends cease and desist letters to people if they detect you're torrenting their or their partners' content (a friend of mine got one for HBO shows. They required him to run a script on his computer verifying the file was deleted. WTF?!)
But the thing is, people who get massive amounts of content this way don't BT to their machines! Most use seedboxes and rsync back to their home machines. They're only going to get the people who are not big in the game (relatively).
Plus, once you identify, the next phase may be blocking at the ISP level. Then you get into censorship, network neutrality, etc.
Software this important to peoples' lives can't be written like Windows95. I'd say for Tesla, it isn't.
The trouble is, the auto-pilot feature isn't an auto-pilot. It's not autonomous. It's supose to be used as a safety device. It's being misadvertised, misrepresneted, and even if it was correctly portrayed as a beta safety feature - crashes like this show it reduces the awareness of the driver when they trust the features of the car and reduce their attention.
I took a walk the other day and everyone was either catching Pokemon or taking weird/creepy photos with their cellphones. All my friends in other countries are playing it. I feel like I'm the only one not playing it. I don't really want something else to get addicted to.
The OP mentioned Linux distros geared to accessibility support.
I worked at an all open source shop (religiously so even), yet their blind (completely blind) accessibility engineer was one of two people in the 200 person company running Windows. The other was a graphics designer that needed Photoshop and Illustrator.
The United States is the ONLY high income country left in the world with the death penalty.
It's not feeling sorry for him. It's not being a terrible nation. Really? You want the US to be like Saudi Arabia? A Monarchy with no gay and barely any womens' rights?
I can't even tell if you're really trolling or are really that stupid. That's the scary part.
There is IR footage of the FBI shooting into the building. They knew very well they would burn that place down. There are several documentaries on it. Keep in mind that all the survivors were acquitted or not tried for any crimes.
Exactly. Why not strap a non-lethal to a police robot? Something that would cause him to pass out or taze him? Sure they might have killed him anyway, but the intent would be to apprehend him. By strapping a lethal with the intent to kill, it was obviously revenge. As police rarely ever face consequences, this will probably just fade into the papers.

Ah and that's the issue isn't it? We life in a world that rewards people who are constantly spending and buying.
No, that's not the reason it won't work. Attitudes likes yours are why America is a cluster-farkle. I really really regret returning to this country; saving up to leave again.

So instead of trying to emit/pull data from the surroundings, it has to go up to the cloud for a database of stoplight info? WTF?!
Not only is it useless; it give Audi even more tracking data about you. Who the fuck through this was a good idea?
