TB makes it easy to put the emails/settings/plugins in a place of your choosing, from which it's easy to copy all your emails and settings to different machines as just a file copy, and to back them up.
I do this between a Linux desktop and Win8.1 laptop with no pain.
I remember ripping my CD collection to ogg, only have to do it again years later to flac when space got cheaper. The ogg was fine, but not a good source for re-encoding to another format such as mp3.
If I was going to rip movies, I'd keep the original streams. You'll never spare the time again to re-rip, even if you you think now that you will.
Time to get a backup email address, any recommendations? Don't need a secure mail service, just something that provides POP and webmail, doesn't get on spam blacklists, and doesn't tack some advertising at the end of transmissions.
The label I see most often is 'line caught' which implies wild fish. But I expect it also describes a good way to pull a fish out of a fish-farm's pool.
My Panasonic bluray player offers Netflix support, but the traffic is proxied through some Panasonic server. Apart from the security & privacy aspects, this means that the feature can be discontinued by Panasonic at any time.
Router flashed with DD-WRT, go to Access Restrictions tab, add the TV/player MAC address to an Access Policy under WAN Access that denies WAN access to those devices. Network browsing features will still work, but no phoning home to big brother.
...the US postal service has strong law protecting the service and customers thereof from tampering, misuse etc.
Interception is also non-scalable.
None of this is true for internet comms. If governments can push citizens to use the tubes for all their comms, research, media, then the automated analysis will make picking out and tracking any type of person from child-molester type criminal threat to MLK or anti-TPP-organising political threat very easy.
First and foremost, without a statute or court decision giving this voluntary policy the force of law, there will be no consequences if law enforcement agents flout its terms and continue using Stingrays as they haveâ"without warrants. With only this policy shielding us, thereâ(TM)s nothing keeping warrantless Stingray evidence out of court, and therefore nothing to deter agents from behaving badly.
According to Motherboard's Lorenzo Franceschi Bicchierai, the company has sent out emails to all its customers, requesting them to shut down all deployments of its Remote Control System software ("Galileo") - even though it seems they could do that themselves, as the customer software apparently has secret backdoors.
Perhaps they chose the first route because they hoped to keep that fact hidden from the customers?
Yet, according to ]Hacking Team[ Six Confidential Whitepapers on cryptome.org, HT explicitly state on page 31
NOTE HackingTeam have no way of connecting to or receiving any information from the Customerâ(TM)s RCS installation.
So, if HT lie to their rather high powered customers about a major detail like that, what else?
You can make reliable fast access NVM using DRAM plus battery or cap based backup to run the refresh engine during power-off. So not complete nonsense.
No it can't, because the reporting is 'Shooting victims" and "Shooting incidents" which has no correlation to stop and frisk, no matter what the friskee was found with.
Look at it another way. There were roughly 1000 shooting incidents and 1,000,000 stop and frisks. If EVERY shooting incident could have been prevented by a stop and frisk, that's still 99.9% a waste of everybody's time.
Also, I have no idea of the demographic for shooting incidents, but I suspect it doesn't match the demographic for stop and frisk which is largely male black/latino young adults. So if the reason for the stop and frisk is the cut down on shooting incidents, that's losy tactics.
...in 2013, Bloomberg and Kelly... would oversee a massive decrease in the tacticâ(TM)s implementation, with under 200,000 stops recorded â" less than a third the number from just two years before. The result: crime continued to fall.
The problem with that is that tablet/smartphones are 75% of all silicon and Intel isn't in that space.
Do you mean that 75% of all semiconductor units sold go into tablet/smartphones? Or that 75% of the total semiconductor revenue is in this market? Intel's business is small volumes of high value silicon, so it's a big difference.
Maxim and Analog both HAD very decent little niches, mainly industrial, instrumentation/measurement and consumer, plus dabbles in hi-rel, aerospace, automotive. The problem is that volume consumer products comprise ASICs/ASSPs (which Maxim and Analog largely don't supply) plus commodity analog/digital. 15 years ago, quality dual op amps from Maxim and Analog were $2 or more. Now the precision circuitry is inside a big chip, and a 3c LM358 is architected in to do ordinary functions. There are still markets for $2 dual op amps, but they are small, and the base of board level engineers than can use them is declining. It's not that the precision analog markets won't exist, is that there is no growth left.
Linear Technology, on the other hand, has a business model which does not target growth but margin, and fairly reliably has the absolute best performance part at any time for a lot of its catalog. This allows them to keep the margins. If you have to use the LTC part, then you have to pay the price.
Intersil, Micrel, Fairchild, IDT, Microsemi, Power Integrations will die to lack of enough integration to compete with TI, costs too high to compete with Asian suppliers.
Maxim and Analog Devices will merge or die, or merge and fail to integrate the cultures. On the other hand, the TI/Nat Semi merger was very well executed, so hopefully MaxADI will be a good competitor to TI "The Borg".
Atmel and Microchip will decline unless they completely scrap their 8-/16-bit stuff (which can't compete with the likes of Holtek, let alone no-name Chinese copies, on price for the volume markets) and accept that the future is ARM for emerging (14 to 24 year old) developers/hobbyists, and invest in same. That means a one-time major restructuring with massive layoffs, timed so the same financial year covers the kill stage and some good story at the end. Also, design last time buys carefully spread over years so as not to piss off the faithful engineers that design 'em in. Oh, and stop spending money on the discrete analog lines (MCHP particularly), but use the cores as value add to the ARM systems-on-a-chip. And no, the days of value-pricing those features are gone - the features win you the socket now, they don't get you the high margin.

Agreed. In a nutshell, OS upgrades should not invoke learning curves.
The definition of a "computer technician"? Whaddabout when you install something on Uncle Frank's lappie at home?

Software developer in cahoots with security researcher could design in an obscure bug for the security researcher to 'find', and $$$.

It's the property tax that bites.

Whaddabout DDWRT?
So if the BBC or the WaPo uses a pic that they don't have rights to, who goes to jail?
I suspect that the copyright rights and penalties are diverging for companies and individuals.

I'm sure you are happy to have the same rule applied to you at your job.
Nope. See http://www.salon.com/2015/01/1...
Apparently LAPD regards LA as a wartime battlefield, with the public as the enemy by default.
