It's as safe as it has ever been. With TLS encryption, you can be very sure that your CC# will not be intercepted. Then you have to judge if you trust the recipient of that info to keep it protected from hacks.
Wait a couple more decades when quantum computers will allow encryption to be broken in weeks. Then it will not be as safe.
Any machines infected with Petya have either already paid the ransom, or have been wiped and restored from backup. Even if someone *DID* clone the infected/encrypted drive, the files on it will be over 6 months old. Surely, the users of those machines have gotten around all this time without those files.
RED is widely known for "affordable" 4K cameras, but I'm skeptical about this phone. We heard nothing about it at Mobile World Congress, and it would seem to have a breakthrough technology for display. Also, order now, so they take your money and earn interest on it for a whole year before they deliver. I'll believe it when I can see it with my own eyes.
On the wild wild web, we often see typos in message boards and blogs. Sometimes it's hard to forgive the crappy spelling and grammar of your typical Anonymous Coward. In the corporate world however, there is just no excuse for it when email and word processors have spell checkers. When you make typos in data that you share with business partners, you just look like you don't know what you're doing, and that reflects badly on your company.
You know what? The battery DOESN'T need to be secured by screws. It could slide into place and be held there with the other components, or with some sort of retaining clip, or even a strip of double-sided tape to prevent it from sliding around inside the case. The whole point is: Don't permanently glue the fucker in there!
I don't think they meant that the battery should be designed like a light bulb, but rather that the battery should be secured in place using screws instead of glue.
Excluding newer Apple machines, laptop batteries are not glued in place. They are in a module that SNAPS into place, and is generally user-replaceable. Cell phone batteries are either user-removable, or held in place with 3M double sided tape. Either way, I have never seen a laptop or cell phone whose battery is "SCREWED" into place. That just sounds like a bad engineering idea. I'm ok with cellphone batteries being held in place with the tape, but don't overdo it with gobs of glue.
My father recently just replaced his water heater because it broke. Upon cleaning out the area behind it, he discovered several 8-packs (glass bottles) of UNOPENED diet Pepsi from the 80's. They are in very good condition, but I don't know if I would drink the contents. I'm not even sure what kind of sweetener was used back then... Maybe it degraded.
I guess he was hoping to sell them to a collector or something. I suggested a movie studio (Netflix - Stranger Things) for use as props.
It used to be that you could return these glass bottles to any grocery store for the deposit, but now everything is in plastic, I don't think they accept glass refillables anymore.
The article doesn't say, but does anyone know how long this "first segment" is? Since the TBM itself is 400 feet long, I can only assume it's at least 400 feet...

Then DDOSsing them will be all the more satifying...
There was no World Wide Web in the early 80's, so no need of Lynx.
That rate of adoption is still slower than what has happened already.

If you don't voluntarily agree to a search, then you're not actually "flying".

My original Apple //e computer cost $1600 in 1984 (excluding perhipherals), and only had a 90 day warranty. It still works today. Those days are gone.

Today's 18-year-old sex robots are unattractive because they still use altavista and floppy drives.
Well, I bet it doesn't cost $400 a year!
AT&T also offer prepaid phone services which are considered "NO CONTRACT". Now, are you still an AT&T customer?
I know, right? I would rather have the raw numbers instead of percentages, but it seems that the report is intent on masking the raw data.
Once we learned that the moon isn't really made of cheese, we didn't go back.

So they cut a lousy six and a half feet? Call me when they connect two cities!

Have you EVER met a government employee? Do you think they can handle an OS with a text-only interface?
That's going to be hard since it's mostly water...
