Lol, I'm on Tmobile and I've never seen my phone be on 3g. Ever. Seriously. It's either 4G or no signal at all.
Also your point about full 4G coverage doesn't jive with telling people they spend "most" of their time on 3G. Who gets a 4G capable phone knowing they will never get 4G at home or work, where they spend the most amount of time? Not everyone constantly is traveling all over the country having to go on other cellular networks, or happens to live in a place right on the border of two networks.
Anyone who buys a new phone? 4G comes as a standard in most phones, but has so short range it is often not available, espcially at home or the office if you live in a place with concrete or brick walls, it works much better on the street. Though it may be different with some American standards, also be sure we are both talking LTE, the 3G standard HDSPA is sometimes called 4G in the US.
I had to trick Apple into upgrading to 10.12 on a 2009 Mac Pro, it seems they don't want to support old machines that leave all their current offerings in the dust. The OS still supports it of course, since a 2009 is internally identical to a supported 2010, so you can force the upgrade anyway and have a "working" system (at least as far as OS X/macOS ever works, which is barely)
Transfers are usually immediate and not reversible. If you misspell the recipient account number (including control digit), you have to appeal to the recipient to transfer the money back to you, or appeal to the courts to make that happen.
That is not true, they are always reversible. If you report the error to your bank within 24hours, it is trivially reversible, after that you may need to document it was an error or theft or whatever.
That gets us to online purchases. First, fairly obviously, both chip and pin and chip and signature fail here. CVV was a minor attmept to fix this, but (1) it does nothing to prevent physical credit card theft since it's PRINTED ON THE CARD (useless 2 factor) and (2) it's not actually required by many credit card processing services so there's always a way to get around it.
It is required by ALL credit card processing services, at least in Europe. Many also have additional steps like sending extra security digits to your phone.
Even on Which's 3G (why only 3G ?) web browsing testing, phones with 1.5 times the battery don't get anywhere near that much extra life.
They also push 4 times as many pixels but doesn't get anywhere near a quarter of the battery life of an iPhone.
Use LTE and things would be even worse. None of the phones get anywhere near a day of use with that, but then LTE is a rather crappy short-range standard you rarely get to use for long, and certainly not at full speed.
How can you possibly overblow a bug that can bring down a system without root privileges?
By forgetting to mention it only affects developer version of systemd and not release versions. In other words it should just be an issue for systemd developers testing special developer-builds of systemd.
I think most religions have some form of sabbath. A day doing significantly different things, sometimes disconnected from the technology of the day. I am quite sure they figured out millennia ago that taking a day off here and there was a good idea.
It is mostly judeo-chrstian, for Christians it is Sunday..
Which is where the weekend comes from, the Jewish sabbath and the Christian sabbath combined, for double the free time!
There seems to be a lot of confusion and in traditional Mozilla fashion all this is poorly communicated. First, Flash no longer gets updated for NPAPI (Netscape API) which is the way it talks to Firefox. Only PPAPI (Pepper API) gets updates, which is what Chrome uses. Mortar adds support PPAPI and deprecates/removes NPAPI. It does not mean you need flash or that it adds stuff you "don't want". It just means it still works for the people who need it - that's it.
By that means it also means any other PPAPI plugin works,
No, not really. The basic PPAPI can do very little, and both Flash and PDF uses special priviledged extensions to PPAPI to even work (called PPAPI PDF, PPAPI Flash and PPAPI Private). So while Firefox have obviously implemented all of those, these two plugins are not really PPAPI, they are their own special things with their own special priviledges and APIs.
NaCl is PPAPI too, and also have their own set of special crap, Firefox would probably have announced it if they had implemented that.
The PDF plugin is the worst part of Chrome, on every new install I have to remember what I did before to disable it before. I look at a lot of datasheets, and the built-in-viewer really sucks for doing anything but scanning to see if you want to search through your downloads directory to open it up in a read PDF viewer.
And it is the source of 90% of the serious security issues in Chrome, just look at their issues fixed in each release.
Not sure why anyone would volunteer to use something based on pdfium.
The rules in the EU are pretty clear, this is simply not allowed, not before or after any updated terms of service. Google was already forced to stop trying to unify Youtube and Google Plus accounts, so if they can force Google to not do it, I am sure Facebook will be in deep shit too.
After the CD stunt they pulled the same shit with their USB sticks. I think that was just a few years after the CD incident so there are probably more instances. Don't buy a Sony.
I fully buycutted them for 15 years, but had to pardon them recently to buy a compact flagship cellphone, they were literally the least evil, all other options had done MUCH MUCH worse, and more recently. At least as far as I know, which is why I am interested in whether they did it recently.
Wow, 100.. That makes it less likely than winning the lottery.
Students are trained to beat the test (i.e., always having the right answer), which inhibits risk-taking because they don't want to be failures. Students who are already considered failures by the education system aren't afraid to take risks. You can't succeed in business unless you're willing to take risk and hire people smarter than you.
Depends on where you go to school, and what you expect to get from it. But all studies show that education is one of the strongest links to success that exist, and lack of education one of the strongest correlations of failure and poverty. Now statistics isn't logic, but it sure does show the majority of the well educated does better than the majority of drop outs.
HERE, Automakers team up to provide us something we've had for 10 years already from several other sources.
Thanks Automakers, good to see you're on the cutting edge of technology yet again!
You have had it for over 10 years from HERE (formaly also known as Navteq). This is not new to them, they are one of the primary providers of this service, this is just a new addtion to the service.
The map display in a Tesla already shows traffic congestion. I have heard that they get the data from aggregate cell phone data. The cell towers can tell when the cellphones bunch up and stop moving.
They get it the same place everybody else gets it, by being it from third parties, probably HERE or similar companies depending on where they bought their GPS software.
HERE is what used to be Navteq before they got bought by Nokia, and then later sold to THERE (owned by the three german automakers). If you a car with built-in GPS it is probably already using that technology.
Please point me to one person in the past 100 years that achieved success with exactly no education at all and no help from anyone else.
A successful person doesn't have to be the smartest person in the room. Here's a list of 100 entrepreneurs who succeeded with little or no education, including a half-dozen who dropped out of elementary school.
When Apple have to pay "journalists" real salaries to do their advertisement for them and can't just bribe them with Apple hardware like they usually do.
lenovo is many companies. their business laptop division is nothing like the 'yoga crap' that they sell consumers with crapware....
the spyware and phone home stuff does not tend to exist on the business level lappies. business guys would not put up with that, generally; only 'yoga users' (lol, what a name!) would.
As of 1996 Apple, Microsoft and everybody else HAVE (not may) included software that communicate with servers on the internet. If they didn't they would kind of suck.
Anything sounds absurd if worded the right way. Examples:
Alexander Bell patents talking to a wire.
Henry Ford builds a mechanical horse.
Wright Brothers claim wood and fabric allow a man to float through the air.
Americans fly Eagle to the moon.
Saying that Apple patented a paper bag is so missing the point that it's bound to be mocked. If one actually reads the linked article (I know, this is Slashdot) then it becomes clear how the title is almost certainly intended to be misleading.
Is it so hard to come up with something that wouldn't be so laughable? How about, "Apple Patents New Ideas on Humble Paper Bag"?
Did you just compare the iPaperBag to the invention of the telephone, car and airplane?
Sorry sir, but I've read enough developing research articles on-line to know the true reason for being over weight are gut bacteria that magically generate more matter than a person eats. This is/., here the laws of thermodynamics don't apply when it comes to obesity.
Stop being anti-factual. Gut bacteria changes homone levels and can break the metabolism. IF you have a working self-balancing metabolism, you can overeat and not gain weight, the like majority of non-Americans can. Unfortunately it is mostly broken in Americans for some reason, and in a growing minority of people elsewhere.

Why restrict the tests to 3G when this is a 4G world (at least in the US) now?
So you have full 4G coverage all over the US?
No, you spend most of your time with 3G connections?.. Maybe that is more relevant then.
Let me guess: Assange send a team of experts to Hawaii, and they can't BELIEVE what they are finding.

As opposed to figurative rootkits?
No, in this case it is a figurative one, like literally literally often means.
This "rootkit" is missing the "kit" part, it is a backdoor that could be used to set up full rootkits.
You mean, nobody is installing Sony software these days after the rootkit incident 2012? Right.
2012? It was in the 90s on CDs. Or did they do it again?
