NBC report that, according to Target, the data includes CVV information. Is this even stored on the magnetic strip? I thought it was kept separate for this very reason.
Have you seen many videos where the user can pan at will or zoom in on important details without loss of resolution?
Photosynth looks like video, but pretty clearly has benefits video can't offer. Of course video also has strengths where photosynth is weak - the two aren't really competitors.
Something like Faronics Deep Freeze might be useful, restoring the computer to a clean slate after each reboot. You still want your usual anti-virus and firewall to protect the machine when it's running, but at least your parents would know that if things break a restart should generally fix everything.
Leave My Documents and the browser profile unfrozen and set up a regular backup of files written there, taking precautions to make sure the backup isn't susceptible to encryption by ransomware.
We have hundreds of millions of people compared to Europe's tens of millions.
What do you mean? Are you saying you combine all the US states but only consider EU members states individually so none of them get into the hundred plus million? Or do you really have no idea how many people live in Europe?
Here's the population of some of the larger countries. Slashdot won't let me post them all because of the spam filter. Total population in the EU is over 500 million.
My first cell phone, some twenty years ago, came with a guide that included an etiquite section. It suggested using an unused doorway or empty payphone box as a place to make a call in public.
Frankly if there are hotels charging up to $17.95 per day for wifi in a fixed location this is really a perfect example for Louis CK. $9 an hour for high speed internet, while 'flying through the air like a bird' is a bargain.
They may actually be doing that. If I recall correctly the letters said they had been repeatedly trying to contact these customers to arrange the return and the customers had been avoiding the company. I just used the reply paid envelope as the easiest internationally understood analogy for the company being willing to pay. My apologies if that left you confused.
Doesn't a bogus sales scam require you to be able to charge the other party for keeping it and not offering a way out. This firm is offering a reply paid envelope for the recipients to ship back in.
Also most criminal laws have a mens rea element. There has to be the requisite state of mind before you could be convicted. Someone running a scam has the requisite state of mind, whereas a corporation that makes a one of error may not.
That said, I'm not a lawyer on either side of the Atlantic.
Maybe the patent office will notice a bit of prior art? One can hope, right?
Or we could hope that you can't patent ideas, only implementations, and the summary is big on telling us why the ideas are similar, but scant on whether they share an implementation.
If someone invents a steam engine, it shouldn't mean someone else can't create a different steam engine that does the same thing in a different way. Similarly, just because bitcoin allows micro payments and electronic funds transfers doesn't mean no-one else can invent something that also achieves this.
I'm all for the patent office identifying prior art, but the summary is wanting when it comes to actually showing any.
I don't find there to be much to pick between the iOS email app and the gmail one. If you don't use gmail, Google's email app is now, as of KitKat, more like the gmail app too.
Ether would be more than sufficient for someone that just wants to send and receive a few emails per day.
There is a secondary market. Most large hospitals have genetic counselors who are trained and qualified to interpret and present the results of genetic testing.
My raspberry pi or my cellphone both have easily enough CPU to run a basic web interface and opeate a couple of switches, yet neither draws anything like 40 watts.
And then they vote according to whichever way their ideological predisposition leads them.
Because everyone expected cases like Obamacare, or Myriad Genetics to come out the way they did given five of the nine current justices are Republican appointees?
Many of the justices do have ideological predispositions as to matters of law, but that simply places a demand on those arguing before the court to frame their argument to the audience. For example, arguing a statutory basis for your case in front of a textualist like Scalia.
I understand there is this thing called the telephone. They could use that.
There's also this thing called the internet. Perhaps you've heard of these Google Hangout things. I'm pretty sure they've got enough talented people to set up a securely encrypted hangout for use in a counseling session.
Why on earth do you think that a hidden compartment in a car owned by a small business owner who has bank transaction records showing he deposits his business takings in cash to the bank each day/week would run afoul of a law that reads:
"No person shall knowingly operate, possess, or use a vehicle with a hidden compartment with knowledge that the hidden compartment is used or intended to be used to facilitate the unlawful concealment or transportation of a controlled substance."
"Controlled substance" means a drug, compound, mixture, preparation, or substance included in schedule I, II, III, IV, or V. "
I think you misread or ignored my comment. It's not about denying people the test, it's about making sure they understand it.
I think you'll find most doctors if needing something like a BRCA test for themselves would still consult a genetic counselor first. Why?
Because there are numerous different tests that might be appropriate - do you just need tested for one possible hereditary cancer, or are there others you should be tested for too based upon your family history.
There may be a better person to test than yourself.
The result of the test may be misleading to a non-specialist, even someone who is trained and has a medical degree. For example a negative result might mean another condition is more likely rather than being an all-clear.
Wikipedia is great, but it's not an adequate substitute for proper healthcare.
And it's not like 23andme couldn't provide appropriate counseling before testing and have results handed out by a specialist with a genetic counseling degree.
Which is just the same as carrying a BRCA mutation that increases your likelihood of breast cancer. Yet almost every medical authority would agree you should only get BRCA testing done alongside counseling from an appropriately trained genetic counselor.
It's not about withholding the test. It's about making sure the test results are accurate, that the recipient understands what the test may uncover, and that they are equipped to rationally process the result.

Thank you for that reminder. It's been a while since I worked with this stuff, and your answer makes the statement from Target clearer.

Through its officers and directors it can.

The summary mentions nothing about seeking a cheap tablet. It says his dad has a cheap phone plan that he might change.
The 16GB nexus 10 appears to be $449 with the 16GB iPad starting at $499.
Your Nexus doesn't have the gmail app? Are you sure?

A couple of years ago, Google restored lost gmail from tape. I'd expect that even with deduplication they must use a phenomonal amount of tape.
I understand there is this thing called the telephone. They could use that.
There's also this thing called the internet. Perhaps you've heard of these Google Hangout things. I'm pretty sure they've got enough talented people to set up a securely encrypted hangout for use in a counseling session.
No, the article proves that having a car that reeks of marijuana and has a secret compartment is enough to get you arrested.
Strangely, they forgot to copy that line from the article that spawned the story.
Why on earth do you think that a hidden compartment in a car owned by a small business owner who has bank transaction records showing he deposits his business takings in cash to the bank each day/week would run afoul of a law that reads:
"No person shall knowingly operate, possess, or use a vehicle with a hidden compartment with knowledge that the hidden compartment is used or intended to be used to facilitate the unlawful concealment or transportation of a controlled substance."

Which is why you want test results on things like this handed over by an expert, not an email.
There are some areas where government regulation is appropriate. This is one of them.
Which is just the same as carrying a BRCA mutation that increases your likelihood of breast cancer. Yet almost every medical authority would agree you should only get BRCA testing done alongside counseling from an appropriately trained genetic counselor.
Are members of the public equipped to interpret a 55% or greater chance of their child developing Alzheimer's Disease?
It's not about withholding the test. It's about making sure the test results are accurate, that the recipient understands what the test may uncover, and that they are equipped to rationally process the result.
