I did a quick Google. It looks like Moon+ is an Android App. I was specifically looking for a solution compatible with an e-ink reader. Simply due to the long time spent reading straight text, the screen is superior for what I am doing.
No, it is not good idea. Everyone benefits from an educated workforce. The self-made entrepreneur benefits from employing graduates. The store worker benefits from the graduates that built the business employing them.
If we accept that taxation is they way to fund education, the smart move is to do it through general taxation. Since everyone benefits from education, everyone pays a share. And you drop the administrative costs associated with managing loans or adding a section to the tax code.
While the BBC news output is typically of a very high quality, and their website is neat, tidy, efficient and fast, there's a problem when most people get most of their news from a single source.
As I see it, the solution has to be micropayments. I'm unlikely to pay the fairly high amounts other news sites want, because I simply am not interested in everything they produce. I would, on the other hand, be happy to pay a few cents here and there for certain articles. I'm surprised the news industry, desparately fighting for survival hasn't come up with a workable solution.
Quite feasible that yahoo had nothing to do with it:
It's feasible, but Yahoo are taking a hammering on this.
If they believe the data was obtained via a 3rd party and they know they don't share passwords hashed or otherwise with 3rd parties, I would have expected them to be shouting that from the rooftops.
Hashing passwords is pretty pointless unless they're also salted. Otherwise all the common and short passwords are as good as being in plain text.
As for why a 3rd party had the passwords, I think Yahoo need to be quite a bit more forthcoming and explain this. Surely they are aware that their customers are going to be reusing passwords and that, by giving a third party these passwords they are also exposing their customer's accounts on numerous other sites?
Actually it's not cruel at all, at least not to the subject. He would not have been conscious of his death at all
And you know this how? David Waisel, a professor at Harvard Medical School believed he was at 'substantial risk' of experiencing suffocation for the first five minutes of the execution. He said that before the execution, so likely did not anticipate it would take 25 minutes for the man to be killed.
And therein lies the problem. There's always a way to block ads.
The expense of an arms race would be much better used by establishing a decent micropayments system with an open api that allows multiple providers. How much better would it be if when visiting a web site you got a single popup saying click to proceed with adverts, or click to pay a fraction of a cent per page viewed. If your content is good, people will pay to view it, and will come back for more.
Much better to create an incentive to create great content than to waste everyone's time on a pointless arms race.
With that defense, yeah - a total douche. She isn't "defending the future", she's trying to dodge the speeding ticket,
She tried to dodge the speeding ticket with a defense that the state had insufficient evidence that she was speeding. The Government were required to present evidence that the officer's speedometer was properly calibrated and therefore accurate. Reuters reports that the government expert did not appear at trial to give the required evidence.
Why should anyone be found guilty of a crime if the state doesn't have sufficient evidence to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, and why would anyone be a douche for challenging the government when faced with such a charge?
As I understand it, the charge relating to the google glass was entirely separate from the speeding charge.
1) Search Nearby did not need an address. You could use "my current location" for example, as a starting point. This is valuable or people who are unfamiliar with an area, because they might not even know an address for their location.
Clearly if searching for 'restaurants near xyz' doesn't always work that's a problem, but it did work when I tried.
You can still search for any location. When you click on the map, there's a display below the search bar. It shows the address and coordinates of where you clicked. Both of these are links that when clicked populate the search box in google maps. From there it is trivial to prepend the coordinates with 'restaurants near' etc.
So you were only posting to moan about something that we've established isn't in fact anything to do with gmail, but rather is to do with your choice of client and your refusal to access a webmail service using a modern browser?
As to the students, presumably they all either have computers or have access to a computer lab. Therefore they too have access to the official gmail interface and can delete mail at will. I also presume the university does not force them to use their student email address for non-school purposes, so they are free to chose an alternative?
While I'm sorry about your plight with an old and well-established email address, a little foresight would have been enough to make most folk realize tying their contact details to a single supplier is never a good idea. What if you move to a region they don't cover? What if they go bust or are taken over by a competitor?
I think Tor is TCP only, so SIP is pretty much out of the question. Asterisk could work with IAX, Skype might work too.
Latency will be an issue. If it remains consistent thought you can get away with over 1 second of latency on a voice call - not much different than a call routed via satellite.
If latency fluctuates widely then jitter may become a problem. You'd need to compensate for that too. Jitter and high overall latency don't make for a good calling experience. I could see latency going above 2 seconds to compensate and that will not be great for an interactive phone call.
So we have the answer. Your problem is that a third party client was unable to delete the messages and empty the trash on gmail? And that apparently is all Google's fault?
Te reason I, and others, are interested is because if you had just said - "I was using XXX tablet running android version foo and couldn't find any way to batch delete email. The email client 'xyz' seems to put them in a folder called Trash and then when I try to empty that folder they go back to all mail. Unfortunately I don't have access to a desktop computer so cannot use a desktop browser" we would have looked to find you a solution.
Instead you implied you were using some official client based on your comment about google's 'asinine' remarks when you now suggest you were using a pop3/imap interface.
I didn't want to wait thirty days to get email that I had deleted two years ago out of Google's hands.
So you couldn't delete mail on your old ISP's server. And you couldn't delete mail on gmail. Did you ever stop to think you might be doing something wrong?
Not in the email client I was using to do this. Trash is just another folder to it.
So what client were you using and when? If this was ten years ago, do you think anyone really cares? That's like saying you won't buy a 2013 Taurus because Ford made the Pinto.
Yes, they did. Deleting messages from Trash sent them back to All Mail. Deleting them from All Mail sent them to Trash. Wash, rinse, repeat.
This is not a problem I've ever seen in gmail. Perhaps you confused archiving with deleting?
I know of a "lynx", but that's irrelevant.
It's not irrelevant, because you won't say what client you were trying to use, and user experience of myself and others suggests gmail does not have any difficulty deleting mail.
Trash is automatically emptied after thirty days. There's a prominent link to empty it now. No messages don't go back into "all mail" when you empty trash.
There's an advanced search drop down in Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer. It's hardly restricted to "my favorite browser". Are you suggesting Google should have made a fully featured webmail for links or w3m?
And then I got stuck in the circle of trying to delete it from Gmail, and their asinine insults about "why do you want to delete anything when you've got so much space to keep it all?"
Are you making this up? It's easy to delete large numbers of messages in gmail.
You can used the advanced search drop-down in the address bar to find the messages you want to delete, assuming they're not already labeled in gmail.
Select the checkbox at the very top, to the left of the delete trashcan icon. Google pops up a message saying it has selected 20 messages (that number might be higher or lower depending on your settings). Now click the link "Select all conversations that match this search" and click delete.
You'll get one warning that you're about to delete everything selected. Click OK and it's all gone.
What I want to know is, Why does Ford need this data?
Of course they don't need it. My ten year old ford isn't sending them any info, but they were still quite capable of making cars a decade ago.
The issue is why they want it, and it's because data is valuable. From a vehicle manufacturer's point of view it's actually most useful in anonymous aggregate. They are interested in trends. If they see lots of warranty claims, they may be able to isolate them to a group of drivers with similar driving style then mitigate this in future product designs.
From a business perspective, they will always be looking at new markets like the one suggested by the exec.
The biggest issue for me is the absolute lack of data protection laws in the US. There is an urgent need for some default rules that determine what can and cannot be done with customer data.
Strangely, the article seems to say that a stop on an unrelated issue that captured a violent criminal was, to quote, "a disaster". But don't unrelated stops result in charges and convictions all the time?
I don't want to downplay individual security and privacy concerns, but the article is clearly biased. There are no examples of crimes being prevented, yet ti is clear that many are. Without a balanced picture, how can any reasonable person form a reasoned judgment?
You've got it backwards. The IMEI list is black, not white.
No, I did not get it backwards. the post I replied to said:
All IMEIs for a given carrier are whitelisted.
I would have expected a blacklist, but the poster said they used a whitelist (wherever that poster is) and hence I asked about the implications of that given what I perceive to be the many benefits inherent to GSM.
3mb isn't a lot for a school, especially where there might be a need for streaming video. It would be pretty straightforward to add another connection or two and do some load balancing. Combining that with the QoS suggestion others have made might make the whole network a lot nicer to use.
So your IMEI database has every GSM network in the world? Or do tourists have to register their phones before they can roam? What about tourists who want a prepaid SIM for the duration of their stay - do they now need to register their physical phone too? If you drop your phone and break the screen, you can't just take the SIM out and put it in another GSM phone, you need a different working phone to call your carrier and have that phone added to this white list?

Take an extra wifi dongle and set up network sharing using whatever OS your laptop runs. Problem solved.
They cost a lot? $10 is less than the cost of an HDMI cable from a retail store. And with a couple of thousand reviews and four stars I expect reliability isn't bad for the price, especially given you can return to Amazon if it's DOA.
It's feasible, but Yahoo are taking a hammering on this.

I think you missed where this work was done. The NHS don't pay $100 a shot for many things.
As for how much the shots cost in the US, well that's anyone's guess. But the price in the States is unlikely to be a result of this research.

If you were an investor you'd be upset at a company spending $500 a head replacing programmer's monitors? Sorry, but that's idiotic.
Almost any non-negligible productivity improvement is going to recoup $500 over the lifespan of an LED monitor.
