I have altered the deal pray I do not alter it any further
This. Exactly this. Jullian Assange just went from hero to zero in 0.1 seconds. From "I'll sacrifice myself" to "I need to save my own ass, no matter what".
But maybe he is a tricky SOB and is only in Russia so he can worm his way into the FSB headquarters to collect and disseminate some of their classified documents.
Don't think so. Remember how the Russians treated Kim Philby?
The recall notice says clearly that consumers should stop using and power down.
The device related problems are an issue between the end-user and Samsung, not Verizon. Verizon has no business interfering in the legal use of a legally purchased device. To Verizon's network, it is irrelevant what device I would use, and therefore Verizon would be in breach of contract for turning of services I am paying for. Unless of course, Verizon can demonstrate how the use of a Samsung Note 7 device is interfering with the integrity of their network. This is a class action lawsuit coming.
Don't forget that the issue is battery related. So take out the battery, and you have a perfectly functioning computing device.
I can think of three, maybe four, but beyond light flush, heavy flush, bidet, and drier, what are the other four functions?
After my first trip to Japan, I bought one of those superseats. Mine features a heated seat with different settings, front bidet for the ladies, back bidet for us all, settings for water temperature. And I didn't even buy the iffy-spiffy one.
Home Depot sells them. Once you've used them, you'll wonder why we use paper. Think about it: if you get poop on your hand, would you just wipe it or properly clean it with soap and water? Nevermind, I know the answer. So why do you settle for just wiping down there?
And who demanded the trophies? Not the millenials as kids. They were handed the trophy no matter what they did, lose or win. If this is the 'normal' that they're taught (again, by whom?) then what are they to expect in adulthood?
Exactly. Which is why my 5 year old is being raised "old-fashioned". No participation trophies.
The boomers created their own disaster by raising kids to believe they could do anything they wanted and they'd get a participation trophy for their efforts, no matter how little.
Totally, totally agree with you on this. Now it's up to the world to toughen them up a bit, while the Boomers enjoy their free retirement in Florida.
Boomers didn't require "safe spaces" in the workplace, they just did the job that they were hired to do.
I think you nailed it on the head right there. The amount of "I'm offended" from millennials is staggering. They can't even handle the results of a democratic election.
I didn't vote for the guy, but he made it to president so that alone deserves respect from every single American. Not a cry for a safespace from a bunch of sorrow millennials voting for the first time.
They're the result of the "everyone gets a trophy" policies.
The cost of data over cable( copper or fiber) is effectively zero, the only costs are in supplying the cable in the first place ( and replacing it once every 100yrs or so, it doesn't exactly wear out). power costs are negligible
Nope 100% wrong.
Not only are you wrong, you are an idiot for posting this. Putting fiber in the ground is very expensive. Fixing fiber that has been broken is very expensive. Putting fiber in the ocean for transcontinental links is not just very expensive, it costs massive amounts of money.
And now you have only the cabling. You don't have any DWDM gear, routers, switches and the associated network engineers to operate them.
Data over cable is not zero. The only difference between wireless and wired internet access is the last mile, and the mobility aspect of it. As cellular technology evolves, it enables more and more bandwidth per user.
Greenpeace was a cause to support. Donating time and/or money to Greenpeace was The Right Thing To Do for a very long time.
Until I figured out that Greenpeace only follows the rules when it's convenient for them. They don't care about trespassing, destroying property or even intimidation. They expect corporations to follow court orders when they win another frivolous lawsuit when they release the nearly extinct blue-white bearded three-legged rabbit somewhere on a construction site, but when that same court orders them to halt their protests, they continue.
Absolutely horrible organization. And yes, I know I will be modded down for writing this, but freedom of speech etc.
Universities have never been more than a bottom-line for-profit business that uses cult-like recruiting tactics and has absolutely no shame or loyalty to anything or anyone but themselves.
A University of California IT employee whose job is being outsourced to India recently wrote Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) for help.
Feinstein's office sent back a letter... and offered the worker no assistance.
It's bizarre enough that the age of consent in most states is years older than the majority of people become sexually active
Which is for a good reason. In my former home country, the age of consent used to be 12. Yes, I kid you not. Once a female human being turned 12 years old, she could legally be humped by a 70 year old grandpa. It was raised to 16 in the late 90s, with one exception: any form of paid services required both participants to be at least 18 years (prostitution is legal there).
And of course, which male would not want to hump that tight 16 year old's body? Who hasn't walked around in the summer, looking at a hot chick only to realize 3 seconds later that she's only 15? That's the problem: young girls are physically grown to completion, with a nice c-cup and bubble-butt, when they're mentally not ready to consent to a sexual relationship with an adult male. That's why you need a legal framework to protect them.
Also, don't forget that a lot of these laws were introduced at a time where contraception was not generally available, so the actual age of consent was derived from when a female was deemed fit to take care of a baby.
So sad, they're mad, the faggots of California can't push Clinton on the rest of the nation.
Hey you. Yeah you, AC. Take a closer look to the CA results and you'll see that one third of CA voters voted for the other guy. In my neighborhood alone, there are quite a number of Trump voters.
Not all of CA is retarded. Just the few square miles south of the Golden Gate, which will fall in the ocean when the next big one hits anyway.
The state does not own someones body, not even after death. Presumed consent is nothing more or less than body snatching on behalf of the government.
In God's toilet, they recently passed an organ-donor opt-out law. Guess what: thousands of people changed their "yes, I'll donate", to a "no, I won't donate".
I am currently registered as a donor, and donated many pints of blood in the past. But if my state makes it opt-out, I will opt-out out of protest.
By all means, prosecute this fucker for fraud. I won't deny that it is possible to defraud someone into an action. But to call it rape is to do a disservice to victims of actual rape.
I scrolled way too far for this.
The guy is a jerk and an asshole. But not a rapist. #saverape comes to mind.
The "law" should simply be the contracts voluntarily entered by individuals.
Exactly. If I were Gabe Newell, I'd pull the company out of Australia. No more Aussie sales, no more Aussie bullshit. Let them play Kangaroo Simulator 1.0.
This shows that they're all descendants of criminals.
Of course China will return it.
Right after they take it apart, photograph its parts, map all its PCB traces, identify all the parts, copy its firmware and reassemble it (that last part is optional).
And in a year at most the US can buy a comparable version at half the cost from China.
but what proof does anyone have that the car wasn't driving itself and the guy who should have hit the panic button wasn't paying attention
In courts around the world, there is one very simple basic principle:
If you state, you prove.
In other words, if you want to accuse Uber of illegally operating an autonomous vehicle, you have the burden of proof. As long as there is a human being behind the steering wheel, that's going to be a difficult thing to do.
Maybe the driver wasn't paying attention, or maybe the driver elected to run the red light for whatever reason he thought he had.
All I need is one tcp or udp port, and I'll have a working VPN. It would be quite difficult and expensive for any ISP to block that without breaking other functionality.
Slashdot Mirror
Surely it shouldn't have passed it's FCC (and CE etc) certification if it can't handle interference from other devices?
Scrolled waaaaaay to far for this.

I have a pretty large yard to the south, but that still isn't low enough to the horizon to get DirectTV so I'm stuck with ISDN and per minute charges.
Have you tried Exede internet?

You're headed for a brave new world where websites have to pay your ISP to access you, in addition to you paying your ISP.
I'd rather have that world, than a world where big government gets to dictate what I can and cannot do on my own privately owned network.

Why does anyone care what Greenpeace thinks?

Universities have never been more than a bottom-line for-profit business that uses cult-like recruiting tactics and has absolutely no shame or loyalty to anything or anyone but themselves.
Just like the folks in Washington, representing this government funded university. Read this article to see how Feinstein responded to pleas for help from affected workers.
A University of California IT employee whose job is being outsourced to India recently wrote Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) for help. Feinstein's office sent back a letter ... and offered the worker no assistance.
Dead people do not own anything.
Fine. Define dead. If part of my body is alive, I'm not dead.
If my entire body is dead, it's useless for donation.

The presumed consent thing is a better option.
No, it is not.
The state does not own someones body, not even after death. Presumed consent is nothing more or less than body snatching on behalf of the government.

And on the 8th day, as a finishing touch
God took a huge crap and created The Dutch.
The "law" should simply be the contracts voluntarily entered by individuals.
Exactly. If I were Gabe Newell, I'd pull the company out of Australia. No more Aussie sales, no more Aussie bullshit. Let them play Kangaroo Simulator 1.0.
This shows that they're all descendants of criminals.
To be fair, the 9 PhD comment did give it away...
If they really really REALLY wanted to stop human trafficking they would legalize prostitution.
Yeah, that worked out really well in Amsterdam..
Of course China will return it. Right after they take it apart, photograph its parts, map all its PCB traces, identify all the parts, copy its firmware and reassemble it (that last part is optional). And in a year at most the US can buy a comparable version at half the cost from China.

They could block VPNs in a jiffy
Right. Ask China how that's working out for them.
All I need is one tcp or udp port, and I'll have a working VPN. It would be quite difficult and expensive for any ISP to block that without breaking other functionality.
Legally compel the defendant to unlock the phone and then disable the password, or change it to a new password that he must then surrender.
Which means he would still need to assist the government in securing his own conviction. Don't think so.
