since when has thick Smog or Fog affected a planes ability to land at major airports? I know it affects takeoffs as my local airport is regularly affected but it has never affected landings. could someone enlighten me why landings are affected?
his maximum fine is 250,000 with 10 years prison. That is simply what the maximum is for the crime he committed, the judge then has between 0-250,000 to play with if he is found guilty. FYI, $5000 or $10,000 would be way to small in my opinion, the fine does need to be orders or magnitude greater. I would be thinking more $25k-$50k with 1-2 years jail.
prisons are full of people that did stupid shit when they were young, Murder, Rape, assault, theft. Just because you committed felonies and got away with it and realised later it was dumb doesn't mean everyone under 30 now gets a free pass. It is bad enough the free passes given out to most teenagers.
And the US need china even more. Not to mention Russia has a better relationship with china anyway. This will be resolved quickly and there will be a whole raft of advisors telling trump to shut the fuck up.
or when you put it to sleep instead of shutdown and left it unattended for 30 seconds getting a coffee or taking a bathroom break. all they need is about 30 seconds of you being away from your machine and it not being completely shutdown.
not hard? it is bloody near impossible, not even china who have been actively trying to do it for years and spent a fortune on it have managed it. I need a single endpoint, that can be something as simple as HTTP or HTTPS endpoint and I can establish a VPN that is all but invisible. effectively blocking VPN means breaking the web for users, which has massive economic knockon effects.
The 'hack' requires the device to be plugged in while the user types in the password. It's an advanced type of key logger but requires a huge chunk of hardware to be attached.
NO it doesn't and isn't a key logger. The attack requires you to have simply left your machine either turned on or asleep, someone walks up to it and plugs this into the thunderbolt port and then reboots. They now have the credentials and can remove the device and walk away leaving you none the wiser except that your machine rebooted (not exactly an uncommon occurance).
you massively overestimate the value of copyright protection. the government is not going to tank the economy to help a tiny segment of the market, not that they could block VPN's even if they tried.
Interestingly after hearing the news I asked my work colleagues in the room how many of them would be affected by this. Answer, big fat zero as we all use VPNs, VPN use has exploded since they brought in the metadata laws. Some of them don't even download torrents they just object to being monitored.
just change DNS for the machine doing the downloading, unless you are insane that is just a disposable VM anyway. Anyone that cares about quota etc isn't going to be affected by this.
and the outcome they need to prove is that Disney actively engaged in discrimination based on race or origin, the end result of no amercians or no whites is not sufficient as you can end up with that with no discrimination whatsoever. They simply have to show they made financial decisions.
regardless of how despicable Disney's actions are I find it difficult to see any merit in the law suit the way it is being presented. I doubt Nation of origin or race had anything whatsoever to do with the decision, it was cost and unless you managed to find some damning piece of email or statement that says you can't be born in America or white then this case looks like an attempt to push runny shit up hill. They need to be taken to task for what they are doing but this seems a highly unlikely avenue of success.
Your view of AR is very focused on fun and gaming. The strength of AR is in Art, Engineering, modelling/CAD, design work, building/architecture industry etc. The Ability to see what you are creating in the real world where that item needs to go is hugely valuable, especially in the realms of engineering and design. In this realm AR is something you use in the office/work so dork factor is simply not relevant when talking about devices like HoloLens as they are not something you wear all the time (at least not yet)
$1B is not a lot of money in this technology space and would put them well down the list of investments in the tech. Leap are on the verge of being made irrelevant, MS seems to most closely resemble what they are trying to do and given how long hololens has been out I would expect they would be getting close to a Hololens 2 which will likely raise the bar even higher for what they need to achieve in order to not be irrelevant. My bet at this point is they will get bought out for their tech before it ever hits the market as they simply won't be able to deliver a compelling system before they are out of date.
Magic leap has been promised for years now and so far has delivered a big fat Zero. Meanwhile VR products like HTC and Oculus are available right now and AR with MS. Their amazing promises are on the verge of being outpaced by whats already iterating in the market if they aren't available real fucking fast. Even large companies like google, Qualcomm and Intel regularly invest in things that bomb.
yes it is. I have done exactly what they were doing for around 6 months once. For exactly the same reasons too. saving $70 a week on transport allowed me to pocket that money instead of wasting it on fuel while I was working at an orchard after university. The pay was decent but every dollar counted and I happily took the discomfort and cold of a tent to keep those extra dollars myself.
I hate Amazon, But this article is absolute bullshit. They weren't camping behind their because they were destitute and didn't receive a living wage, they did it because it was more cost effective and convenient.
Everyone has been trying to create secured guests where you can limit what a malicious admin can do. Microsoft has Shielded VM's, VMWare has its various vShield technologies etc etc.
So what you're saying is that if you gain local admin access and launch a cmd shell you can get past the restrictions that are preventing you from doing stuff. hint the game was already lost the instant they had access to make those changes.
sadly many of us have to use poorly made enterprise tools written by incompetent companies that don't give a shit about security and hence REQUIRE flash player, until companies like VM Ware move into the 21st century we are stuck with this shit.,

oh really? perhaps you should actually watch the video or read the article.

someone stupid enough to be done by ransomware is unlikely to also be savvy enough to have a proper backup regime
