It also depends on where the computer is positioned. If it's under the desk with rear USB ports available it's going to be fairly trivial to hide such a device (possibly a bit harder to get at surreptitiously, but just wear a badge that says "IT Dept" for that).
In certain more high security environments I've seen them do things like glue the keyboard/mouse into the computer and use a special cover (or just hot glue in some cases) to block out any unused ports. Makes it a big PITA when you actually need to use those ports.
Sorry, but if the latest patch of your most recent operating system ISN'T supposedly more secure than its predecessors, then that's a pretty bad thing.
That said, they can claim whatever they want, but it could all be shown useless if some hacker finds a nice juicy exploits or buffer overflow, a day, hour, or even minute from now.

Can this work for domains other than the one running the script? If so, this sounds pretty nasty, as not only could it be used for scammers, but to seed somebody's internet history with "bad" links. You want to incriminate somebody in viewing illegal images/downloads/etc, just seed their browser history.
I can't remember who coined the term, but I saw a great article months ago labelling these people as "crybullies." Essentially, they try to cram their cause/opinion down everyone's throat, and then when somebody disagrees they start in with buzzword-laden attacks labelling any detractors as being discriminatory X'ists (sexist, racist, misogynist, etc). They take any legitimate counterpoints and basically say "this is not valid, you're attacking me because I'm [insert group]". For bonus points, they'll take some of the usual nutwads/trolls/etc that really are sexist, racist, whatever, and use them as an example of how somehow everyone is against them and they're just a victim.
95% accurate with the other 5% in favour of false positive (falsely showing you have HIV) would probably be a lot better than mistakenly telling you that you don't have HIV. If somebody uses the stick and gets the HIV+ reading, then hopefully he/she will go in for a more accurate test. Getting the all-clear for somebody actually is infected could result in some pretty bad outcomes though.
You're pretty much following my point and disagreeing with it at the same time. Neither of the cars rode like new by that point. The Corolla was certainly rougher than when I first bought it, but it wasn't terrible either. I replaced them because of the leak - and probably would have done so anyways - but at nearly double the mileage it *still* road a whole lot better than the first.
Driving the Focus down a fairly decently maintained road felt more like the Corolla would when going through an un-maintained country back-road. The thing leaned and heaved and in general drove like a drunken yak. Obviously I can feel a difference after upgrading the Toyota to a newer vehicle, but at no time was it ever near as bad as the Ford despite having almost double the mileage. Given that and other issues, I doubt the Ford would have even made it to 150,000km.
This seems like the stupidest thing to me. Whatever you think of him as a person, he was elected by a legitimate democratic process. So either you don't like said process (aka it only works when it's a candidate that you like), or you're just a sore loser. Probably both. It does suck that the district-based electoral college doesn't line up with the actual total votes, but that wasn't so much an issue when they voted in the other guy, it seems.
Trump isn't even in office yet. He's said a lot of stupid things, but he hasn't *DONE* any stupid things yet, and frankly he's pretty inconsistent on the doing part of things. You want to protest, then I suggest you find something that's actually being done before you whip out the tar and feathers.
If you really want something to be afraid of, don't fear Trump. Fear a GoP majority, an empty spot on the Supreme court, and two additional spots on the Supreme that are filled by some fairly old judges. That could mean up to three LIFETIME appointees to the Supreme court - you know the place that really is the final decided on a lot of the cases that have affected the citizens of your country - which might get filled with some potentially heavily biased GoP appointees.
Move to BC. It's not quite California but the weather in southern BC is pretty decent. Osoyoos or Oliver might be a bit small but Penticton is right on a lake and could probably build up infrastructure fairly quickly.
I was the original owner of the Corolla. I had it for 11 years before I sold it. No pull at all. At 155,000 I moved to a different province and had to get it inspected/re-certified. There was a slight leak in the passenger-side front strut so I replaced both around that time. Still not bad considering the mileage and that I drove it halfway across the country and back again (4000+km each way).
I don't see an example of the apps in question, but the only case where CBC's argument might be valid is if it's not actually an RSS app, but something that has pulled the feeds from RSS and is specifically distributing them for pay (e.g. a compilation on disk or some audio archive). Alternately, I suppose if they were selling access to CBC's feed when it should be free, it would be somewhat like hijacking a FOSS project.
The article is a bit light on details of the app in question and/or what it actually does. Certainly it shouldn't apply to a generic RSS browser.
Drones are good for smaller, precise stuff, generally against entrenched land positions. I believe that these are supposed to have more penetrating power and generally would be pretty difficult to shoot down versus a drone.

Companies often operate close to the line or even in the red until a product becomes successful and/or strong manufacturing lines can be established. Getting past the early/startup stages is *hard* because you have to build everything (either infrastructure, or business relationships) from scratch while at the same time getting a product out and visible to the public. You need to build a strong following to the product at the same time you're building your chains. That's really hard, and why entrenched interests in markets such as automobiles etc tend to outweigh any newcomers.
An alternate use: You're selling pork products but don't want to market to people who are Muslim, Jewish, or vegetarian/vegan.
However, that's not what's happening in this case. The problem is that FB brought out the tool and the only restriction against using it for illegal discriminatory purposes is essentially a little checkbox (probably sans even the checkbox) saying "we promise we won't use this to illegally discriminate."
So what's needed is one or more of a) Proper review of ads to ensure the tool isn't being used for illegal purposes. Probably not going to happen as human-reviewing ads costs money, and - if the USPTO is any example - still subject to error/ambivalence b) A system to better restrict use of the tool from cases where it is likely to be discriminatory (not so easy given all the things that you could advertise) c) A better system for identifying, flagging, and possibly prosecuting malicious/illegal use
Otherwise, it's great to have a choice of such a system, but not at the expense of it being so ripe for abuse. Some categories much less sense and are more open to abuse than others, as well.
I prefer removable-battery models since then I can do a swap while travelling etc, however one of the possibilities with these is also that users may install poor-quality 3rd-party batteries. Before the recent Note7 debacle, a lot of cases where phones went up in smoke was due to crappy batteries bought online from China. Not word yet what the case is here, but just food for thought.
$4800 a year for the mortgage, INCLUDING utils and food? That's pretty much dirt cheap. Total including those taxes is less than $700/mo based on what you're describing (before stuff like internet, which while important isn't a necessity of living). If you're making more than $5/h in a 40h week you've got that covered.
Around here you'll be lucky to get away with $20k/yr (though taxes are less), and that's before all the utils and other stuff.
Matchmaking on Steam is provided through Steamworks. Steamworks is only available to players on... Steam. So nobody made an active decision to block other platforms, but rather that activation was too cheap/lazy to provide a distribution-system-independent platform for matchmaking/multiplayer. It's like complaining you can't use Prime for a package ordered through walmart.com.

For a long time - maybe almost a decade - they've been "Best Buy" in practice. The last couple years they've become so in name as well.
It also depends on where the computer is positioned. If it's under the desk with rear USB ports available it's going to be fairly trivial to hide such a device (possibly a bit harder to get at surreptitiously, but just wear a badge that says "IT Dept" for that).

Well he might have some plausible deniability on that front soon...
For me, the "flag" is usually when there's no free shipping option on something. Only stuff sold by Amazon counts for that.

Not a typo. I was referring to the mileage on the vehicle, rather than the speed.
An older Corolla was a much nicer ride (same road, speed, conditions) than a newer Focus with significantly less mileage.
Range, speed, and impact.

Depends on the vehicle, and perhaps the country.
The cheaper Toyota/Honda models are generally quite reliable. Ford's, not so much
Having driving a Focus for work, it felt like a rickshaw after 80,000km whereas my Corolla was going on 150,000 and still rode fairly smooth
All this time I wondered what AMD could possibly do to convince me to try their video cards again
How about: drivers work with 3d acceleration on built-in kernel drivers? My RX480 works nicely without needing to install any weird crap.
