And will the Klingon continue to be racist blackface villians? I was surpriced that they not only gave the a black textures (sure more different texture colors to alien races, and including black, yay), but then added negroid features and then made them culturally primitive psychopaths...
It is the most racist thing I have seen on TV in decades.
And then added on top with a toxic masculine main character that just happens to be female. The show was trolling the left.
I mean, am I the only one that didn't assume that calling 911 would already be tripping and sending GPS data?
Not the GPS location, but they would get your location within 10m by using cell tower triangulation, which your carrier has and sends with the signal as metadata one 911 calls, it is a part of the protocol and required by law.
I don't think you understand "bricked". When something is "bricked", it can then do anything a brick can, and nothing the bricks can't. Bricks can't be given a "fix" that turns them into a smartphone.
If the user can't fix it and it didn't get fixed until Apple was forced to fix it. Then it was fucking bricked.
The US already has a military agency doing space things. It is called NASA. The other military branches still felt the need to work around it. Adding another superflous branch of the government is just adding more bureacracy and graft.
The Air Force has cars, the Navy has cars, the Army has cars. Do you think we should be combining the management of these assets into one combined "Car Force"?
I find straw man arguments quite entertaining; keep up the good work.
No straws found in the grand parent post. It was right on target. Let me continue: The army has air planes, the navy has air planes, the marines has air planes. Why are they not all in the air force?
Having another space force (on top of the existing one called NASA) would not eliminate the various military branches from having their own agendas and needs leading to overlap, thus arguing that because they have it there is a need is also pointless.
Major ZTE layoffs would be a huge hit to the Chinese economy. Interesting times...
No, no it wouldn't. If the products are profitable, the business and all the asserts with be bought up. Its only when unprofitable companies go under that any jobs are lost.
With corporate death penalties the only ones losing anything are shareholders of the offending company
My 15" Retina MacBook Pro that I bought for $4,200 maxed out in 2012 goes for around $1,099 on eBay, so maybe not for $300, but for cheaper.
I was talking a nominal model with a new price around $2000. I have no idea what a fully maxed out workstation thinkpad sells for, but I could imagine it is a lot, many people love the old keyboards they last used around 2012.
Bitcoin has no value. It is just smoke and mirrors.
Paper money is only mildly better, especially now that it has no gold backing.
Gold backed was also not real.
Gold in fact has no real value other than what it can actually be used for to make things of use.
To find something with real value we need to go back to beans, firewood, pork, tools, etc. These sorts of things have real value.
Real currencies are debt backed. They are backed by everybody talking loans to buy things, and that way tied to the value of all those things bought on a loan. Assuming most companies would always want to have most of their economic worth fully active, that makes the majority of the worth of the entire country being the backing of the country's currency.
Millenials these days... The "DIGITAL" logo atop the story is the logo of a corporation called DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation), who made PDPs and VAXen computers, and Alpha processors. Get off my lawn, and get your history straight!
Why not? it is Qt to see the old logos again. Perhaps we could also find a use for the old Borg Bill Gates logo?
Huh? How do you give someone (not a business) a large amount of money ? Say for renting a vacation place ? Even more so, how do you give a warranty cheque, you know, the kind that you can tear up at the end ?
The same way you do it all of the civilized world, with a bank transfer. Why write cheques? Most people under 60 have ever had a checking account outside of the US, because the rest of the world is not stuck with WW2 banking technology.
If you happen to get an app or extension that isn't malware, it's more likely just luck and coincidence, not an actual benefit of getting something from an official App Store.
After all, Google and Apple have so few employees and so little money, they can't possibly conduct proper vetting of apps.
What is the point of getting a malware-free extension for Chrome? Chrome already is malware, it is made specifically as spyware to collect more data on you, and while it benign in that it can be (mostly) disabled, and Google is probably one of the safest places to have your personal data, and trusted to only to sell it anonymized as statistics, it still is what it is.
Plus they expected the frequencies to be able to keep going up. They quickly hit 4GHz and the wall. If 10GHz has been feasable maybe Netbust would have been a competitive architecture, but the power requirements and thus heat does not scale linear, and it appears 5GHz the maximum frequency for 2000 tech as it is for todays tech.
Even then it is doubtful it can run at 5 ghz. It also is skylake technology and a 2 year old server chip. My citation is here.
Even today Skylake is still the newest and fastest architecture Intel has. Kaby Lake is Skylake with upgraded process and slightly upgraded GPU. Coffeelake is Skylake-E and thus with slightly higher core count.
Trump's administration is openly pay-to-play, which begs the question, what does Trump get out of this transaction?
China gave Trump a favorable business deal in the tune of a few hundred million dollars just before he wrote his tweet about "so many jobs lost in China, we must do something".
ZTE will easily recoup the $1B just by the fact that its share price will certainly jump up with this news alone. Essentially, ZTE will have suffered very little penalties after all the transgressions it has done against the US. This sets a precedent that many other foreign companies with good ties to their government will surely follow.
Well, they had China give Trump a few hundred million in business deals, so you need a mechanism for giving the Trump businesses money.

So is this US only?
Probably, since the GSM protocol used everywhere else has already done this for over 20 years,

"Space Force" just doesn't sound right for some reason.
I suggest NASA.

imac pro no repair over priced upgrades and storage locked on MB Starting at only $4999
whatever.
You actually think this laptop will be significantly less than that?
No slightly less in price not significantly less, but an order of magnitude or two more powerful.
I'd truly like to see something that is an order or two of magnitude more powerful than an 18 core iMac Pro, that didn't also require a rack.
You mean something an order of magnitude faster than a overheating unupgradable tin can from 5 years ago? Have you tried wallmart?

Try searching the same way for earth+is+flat.
Then make the argument what that proves..
Are non-conservatives a minority here? I seem to see conservatives here constantly complaining about the liberal bias of this place.
And what does Fox News do?
If they do the exact same, do you think it is because the conservatives are a minority on Fox?

I'll buy one for $300 in about 5 years!
I was about to say it will take a long time for it to get to $300, but yeah 5 years might do it. It is the price for a used W530 now after all.

Fixed Akonadi yet? I would say, get rid of the MySQL dependency for a start, or can you not spell ACID? If that is too hard, then just kill Akonadi.
No, it still finds new way to crash. It was woring for whlie, but is now broken again..

1B is a lot of money for selling a few phones to Iran. Also based on sanctions that are not justifiable. Agree?
True. But that doesn't defend the graft taken to lift the sanctions.

It certainly pays to have friends in high places.

This sets a precedent that many other foreign companies with good ties to their government will surely follow.
