However since steam is normally installed with admin permissions it may very well be running some sort of spyware deamon that is violating your privacy even when the application is not running, making that dodge useless. Since they are willing to go that far I would not put it past them to also be running a spyware daemon as well.
How do one set up rules to block Steam from accessing firefox profiles? (Linux obviously, though guide for Windows is fine too. Also Chrome.)
The only useful workaround is to boycott steam. Otherwise they will work around your workarounds till they finally just install a Sony rootkit. Do you really want a company that even takes even one step over the line? teach them a lesson.
If we are in a simulation, and it's like any of the games we play or simulations we run for science there's some purpose or driver. Since were simulating at the level life and not just some abstract physics, then it's reasonable that some of the beings here are avatars. Who might those be? Well Duh. Celebreties. Or people who seem to achieve huge success with little effort like say Branson or J.P Diamond.
So go be a groupie. If you aren't interacting with a celebrity then your life is wasted. It's your highest purpose.
Or go on a thrill kill rampage, and get noticed by the game sys admins.
So, the breakup spurred innovation which in any industry can only go on for so long before it matures. consolidation happened as cell phones and the internet matured into the modern from of telephony.
So MS has 20+% of the apps that Android has, that doesn't sound horrible. How many of those Android apps are garbage? The numbers aren't the whole story, if the 200k are much better quality than most of the 1.1M the Windows phone would win. I am not saying that is the case, just saying that comparing the number of apps in a store isn't useful information.
Right, its like Fake Steve Jobs used to say "I'd rather have the 1% market that was the cream, than 99% of the crap.".
I find app stores annoying because there's too many copycat apps and too little info. You can't tell if its worth buying the expensive one or the free one. You can barely even screen a fraction of them when it's garden variety purpose.
But on a different tangent, it seems like this is effectively Wine for Windows. That is the API to run android apps in windows. I love the irony.
And dont' forget Auntie Bellum, that hell rais'n sister of your mother. Yes I mixed it up, even intendeding to get the right one and writing the wrong one.
On the otherhan the civil war killed more americans than all the other wars combined. But do i really need to point out that since Nixon, the republican and democratic parties dont resemble their former selves? barry goldwater and even ronald reagan would be leftist outcasts. walter mondale and hubert humphrey would be unwelcome in the democratic party. in the last couple decades the gop is belicose. Thats a fact. but it doesn't have to be a permenant condition. BTW, Johnston the Texan got us in to Vietnam. I'd say there certainly is a diffenence between drones and mercenaries as well. perhaps you are confused or able to see that things change?
It would be an appropriate name if it were anti bellum, since nixon's southern strategy explains the disfunction of the GOP today. Para Bellum means "ultimate warfare".

10) Ironically, it ChromeOS wont run chrome screen sharing so you can't maintain one of these remotely. 11) you can't share the devices disk to other local computers, so it's not useful as a personal server or media station
This or a chromebook is the ideal computer for grandma who just needs to check her e-mail and surf a bit. I know because I got one for myself then when I could not stand Chrome-OS's annoying limitations I transferred to an elderly relative. CHromeOS is a wonderful concept and I thought it would be a panacea but it just blows for anyone but the most primitive user.
things you can't do without pain: 1) this network OS can't actually do any local networking. 2) can't mount a local network disk 3) can't print to a local printer by itself 4) can't run any other OS practically. Oh sure you can install linux, but then the whole machine goes to crap. It won't autoupdate chomeos any longer once you install linux. And it will erase the linux partition if you touch the wrong key at boot time. Some nut jobs have told "just reflash your roms so doesn't do that". Which sort of proves my point. 6) you can't run most software without an internet connection. 7) all the chromebooks I've used don't handle many common external screens properly. 8) there's no granularity of security. your username and password is your login. you can't sever the connection. You can't tell what exactly APPS do with the permissions you give them. 9) virtually no documentation and fickle SDK capabilities at googles pleasure.
More generally, any device that lets energy (light, sound, heat,...) only flow in one direction has to spend energy to avoid violating the laws of thermodynamics. That's true of this device just like for a heat pump. You could probably also create a real one-way mirror, but again it could not be a passive device and would require energy to operate.
Wrong. Circulators are able to perform this function without any input energy.
So, "Engineers invent acoustic equivalent to something that doesn't exist". Does that mean they didn't actually invent anything at all?
* one-way glass is a misnomer for semi-silvered glass. It only seems "one way" if one side is much more brightly illuminated than the other, so that the 50% of light reflected back to the bright side drowns out the 50% of light that makes it through from the dark side.
wrong. google circulator. its a one way optical waveguide device. it doesn't violate any laws
I don't see how this explanation is breaking the symmetry. Accoustic waves don'e have circular polarication and are axially symmetric.
Your example sort of proves the point, one should be able to make a silent CPU fan where the sounds go in but don't come out if this is true.
Here's my guess about what is REALLY going on here. if you phase delay two separated fans such that the sound that went through the open part of the first fan, reaches the the second fan just as the open part of it is inline with the dound direction it passes through. It would not work in the backwards direction. then layer on that the fact that air column is moving in one direction.
But I' don't see the symmetry breaking for a compression or rarefraction wave happening like it does in the E&M case.
Two remarks on the photo. One is that the specific 5 sided shape of the rock is disturbingly similar to the crack feature it is resting on as seen in the "before" picture. second, the rock is white. I assume the latter is why they think it's a "flipped over" rock. But the two observations together are remarkable.
But remember this lander is huge, like the size of a mini van, and has metal tires, so the prospect of it being able to kick rocks would seem to be very large
Palm failed, HP failed. Both Apple, Nokia and Blackberry all failed when they tried to create a new OS. When Copeland failed Apple acquired Next, When Symbian wasnt suited to new devices, Nokia acquired Windows.
Of course you just have to trust that Apple is doing all your security properly since there's no way to validate that fact.
It's more about making sure that security happens authoritatively at the right layer. That can means giving up some things if you don't allow security delecgation to proliferate. But relying on apple to get it right at the right layer is a lot more likely than there not being some app maker some where that goofs it, and ruins the whole thing.
You're confusing the milk from other animals with human breast milk.
Humans can - and have, historically - use that as their sole food source up to 5 years old.
The problem arises from using milk from other creatures.
THe article says they could not process lactose, the major carbohydrate in all milk, human and otherwise. So no this is not about processing the species specific milk, but milk in general. That's too surprising to be credible without further explanation-- mammal infants live on milk.
