Allow me to take these blinders off of you and show you the entire industry that is hiring illegals to pick your produce. In fact, do a search for "H2 workers" and be amazed by the wonders of our legal system.
You seem thoroughly confused. You talk about an industry of illegals and then suggest we look at those legally here on H2B visas as an example.
Are you suggesting that there's a huge amount of US workers just waiting to pick fruit and plant pine trees? And the only thing holding them back is that the minimum wage is too high?
Then the problem is finding good work. Self publishing appears to come with a stigma, and many authors seem to be dismissed from receiving praise because their work is self-published, perhaps with an exception for authors who already had a publisher and have left simply to make money.
Now I know some authors who make some money self-publishing, mostly in niche market areas where it might be easier to get noticed. But, for other markets I think people have become reliant on publishers acting as some sort of minimum quality filter, and their associated marketing departments for bringing books to the purchaser's attention.
If you have a business division that you want to maintain, then there's a limit to how many you can get rid of. But Microsoft are clearly closing divisions. They are closing their x-box spin off TV studios, so all those staff can go. Clearly there are large chunks of Nokia that they want to close, likely maintaining the hardware designers but if you're in Nokia marketing, or Symbian/Android software development your coat is on a shoogly nail as they say in Scotland. Similarly, it looks like Nokia manufacturing will also be outsourced, so there are thousands more jobs that will go.
Inside Microsoft is a bit different. From what I've read, it looks like there will be some streamlining of management, so some layers of management will be cut. Most people on here will have seen how management can breed more management, so this is a pretty typical corporate response. Unfortunately for the managers losing their job it may be harder to find a new job. Where a division closes there's always the possibility of a sale to a competitor or some form of management buy out.
Is it? Does it still say that anywhere? Not that your point doesn't stand.
Yes, the HTML title for http://slashdot.org/ is News for nerds, stuff that matters. I notice if I'm logged in that my browser shows an unread count rather than the title, but it's there in the HTML.
Indeed. the BBC coverage states that "There is no official closure of Ukraine airspace but Germany's Lufthansa has decided to divert four flights currently in the air which would overfly east Ukraine".
Presumably people need to know version number. I think one of the big problems with the original wrt54g is network throughput. With cable services regularly hitting 50Mbps+ mine can't really cope - even on the wired connections.
So, a question for those of you running openWRT or similar, which not too expensive router would you recommend to replace my decade old wrt54G?
While Kinloss is certainly quite far north, you have to account for the warming effect of the ocean and particularly the gulf stream. Scotland is more wet than cold as a result, with the average low being above freezing year round.
I don't know how big an issue cloud cover and rain would be, but the temperature associated with latitude is probably less of an issue. The latitude itself isn't far off that of the Kodiak Launch Complex in Alaska.
The summary was quite lacking. For those not wanting to rtfa, here's what it says under why broadcasting the blockchain in a way that can be picked up by low cast receivers is or might be useful. An AC post below also mentions that TV coverage may be better than mobile internet coverage.
This scheme makes it easy to construct affordable receivers that do not need mobile data connections in order to follow bitcoin traffic and to react to the received bitcoin payments. This would make it possible to build bitcoin counterpart for cash payment terminals, anything from a cash register to a coin operated self-service laundry. If the receiver application follows only transactions relevant to itself, it will be possible to build it using even an ARM microcontroller.
Also, it allows an alternative way to access the bitcoin network in cases where only a very low speed Internet connection is available. And, for all the tin foil hat wearers out there, this is a way to connect to bitcoin network without a trace! You only need online access when you want to make transactions yourself.
The data stream can contain other information, such as exchange rates between bitcoins and traditional currencies.
Of course linux is targeted. There are large numbers of linux servers, with fast processors and very fast high capacity network connections. Making matters worse, because they often to run important services, people may be slower to upgrade packages/kernels.
I don't know about this particular botnet, but it's been a long time since saying "I don't run windows" counted as a security strategy.
Fifteen years ago, you opened the yellow pages for the same information. Did you say then, who controls this book? Did you worry about all the power being in the hands of a single phone company?
Likely not, and for two reasons. If the phone company abused it, they'd lose the trust and goodwill that makes the very product valuable, and if it was no longer accurate someone else would come alone and make an accurate version.
Why is that not the same for Google? If their maps become unreliable, won't people move to Bing? If not, why not?
Guessing you never read the article. Had you done so, you would have seen this bit:
"[E]mployees discovered vials labeled ”variola,” commonly known as smallpox, in an unused portion of a storage room in a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) laboratory located on the NIH Bethesda campus."
I get why I'd want to do it at home, but not why I'd pay someone else to do it
I'm not sure how you're going to create an asthetically pleasing multi color 1,000 lumen LED that fits in a standrard lamp using a $10 controller. Plus create an app or web interface to control timing/dimming/color. If you figure it out, please post the details as I'm sure lots of folk would love to take on that project.
In the meantime, I'm thinking these look pretty neat if a little expensive since I think you'd need quite a few bulbs for the best effect.
Seems it is about operating beyond the permitted frequency and power:
13. The Commission’s investigations found that most 5 GHz devices are manufactured to enable operation across a wide range of frequencies, extending down into the 4 GHz bands and up to almost 6 GHz. The devices are controlled by software that manages the specific parameters used in the equipment. In most of those cases for which a specific cause was determined, the harmful interference was the result of third parties or users modifying the software configurations to enable operation in frequency bands other than those for which the device had been certified, but without meeting the technical requirements for operation in those frequency bands (such as the U-NII-2C band where interference to the TDWR was occurring).
So a hardware limit to prevent out of band operation would solve the problem; while allowing the software to be controlled by the user. I've no idea how difficult a hardware solution would be, and I can see why it would be more expensive than a software one. If this has been abused, I can see why the FCC would be seeking such a ruling.
To be fair to Google, it opposed the European court ruling.
He does question why there's no apparent right to appeal. It would certainly seem reasonable to allow the person responsible for an article to highlight why it is still relevant or not outdated since often they will have better knowledge of the subject area than a paralegal.
Are you serious? The applications exist for when you have access only to a computer and a browser. it doesn't matter what operating system it runs, it doesn't (or shouldn't) matter what browser it running. It doesn't matter that you have no admin rights. If you need to edit a document, it should just work.
Sounds like you want to compare the cheapest android devices with the most expensive apple ones. The more expensive android devices are much more likely to keep getting updates. And if they're a Google branded device, even when official updates end there's a community to support it. That's why a four year old Nexus One can run Android 4.4 today.
That was a new $700+ iPad, from the Apple Store in the summer of 2010 about five months after launch.
Wikipedia reports: Operating system iOS 5.1.1 (build 9B206) Released May 7, 2012; 2 years ago
No longer supported; third party operating systems available
So it was abandoned by Apple 28 months after launch. The hardware is still functional. It even still holds its charge. But there's no security updates whatsoever.
Clearly you want GSM, so that means AT&T or T-mobile in the United States. AT&T has much better coverage nationwide, but if T-Mobile has coverage where you are heading they are great.
You can get a Net10 sim with unlimited calls, texts and 2.5GB of internet access, and pay $50/month. They're an AT&T MVNO. Probably not as cheap as you've seen in Europe, but it's pretty good when compared to most other plans. Net10 sim cards are available on Amazon.com I don't know if you can find it in stores.

The BBC are now reporting over 300 on board with 23 US Citizens. Now to see how the US reacts.
You're new here, aren't you? Slashdot frequently has articles on internationally significant news, often with much less tech relevance than this.
The site banner is "News for nerds, stuff that matters". This story easily meets both criteria.
Indeed. the BBC coverage states that "There is no official closure of Ukraine airspace but Germany's Lufthansa has decided to divert four flights currently in the air which would overfly east Ukraine".
Indeed, I think the OP is suffering from miracle of flight syndrome.

And yet, wouldn't a pilot who left the cockpit while the plane landed using instruments be fired?

Presumably only on the U-NII bands, to 802.11a. Other devices would be unaffected by a rule affecting U-NII
I guess this is to prevent software modifications that may be able to increase the power output of a device beyond that permitted by the FCC?
He doesn't really blame Google. From the article:

Unless O'Neal becomes famous and therefore relevant for exercising his right to be forgotten?

There's also no indication that other carriers are immune from this problem; and unlike t-mobile, other carriers are still collecting these charges.
