In a way that makes sense to me. I've generally had any sort of electronics stuff of any worth (say over $100) delivered to the workplace, because both the UPS and regular post persons have a tendency to randomly drop shit in plain view on my front stoop (often with labelling proclaiming it to be electronics/worth stealing). I'd imagine ammo might similarly be something that less scrupulous persons might want to steal, so the workplace is a safer place to get it dropped.
I've never had alcohol or ammo delivered by mail though, let alone at work, so not sure how that would go over. I suppose it depends on the packaging.
To add to that: While torrent sites might not care about such things, Facebook still requires a login. Assuredly they're not going to process cross-site POST requests from non-facebook domains (and their cookie policy should similarly reject such) so even if they find some alternate URL for facebook it's not going to let them actually log in and post anything.
That said, why even both with Facebook whack-a-mole? I remember in one case parents got upset because some kid posted mean stuff about another kid on FB while at school, but it was done with his phone so short of banning all mobile devices you're not really getting very far with an Intranet-based block. I suppose you could at least disclaim some liability but that should be part of whatever permission forms etc students submit for access anyhow.
Do you control the DNS server? assuming you don't let your desktop zone connect to external DNS (or at the very least users don't have local admin and can't change DNS/hosts files), just have your DNS resolved override all facebook.com domains and point them at another IP. For shits and giggles you could even have an internal facebook-look-alike page that has some obscure maintenance message making it look like the issue is on FB's end, or just redirect them to hellokitty.com etc etc
Actually, the name portion of the request is sent within the encrypted packet, so HTTPS does help there. Still, if you're using your ISP's DNS servers it probably wouldn't be hard for them to figure it out.
Yup. I saw an update video here which interestingly enough also details that the FBI *ISN'T* just looking for access to one phone as they currently claim, but that they have court-orders in-progress for twelve other iPhones (unrelated to San-Bernardino).
"I also need my laptop for things Linux won't run."
Also fun when a win10 auto "upgrade" blows up the MBR because you *were* running Linux, rendering the machine unbootable for either OS (as happened to a friend of mine)
"The aluminum unibody G5 brings with it a 5.3-inch QHD display with an Always One mode"
So I was confused as to what "Always One" was about, but apparently that's just a typo of Always-On. A better description is here, where apparently the display can stay on using 0.8% battery/h due to not being tied to the primary processor.
Sounds neat, although I'd still like to see a phone that tries something like a hybrid e-paper display or something of the like
Yeah. My concern wouldn't be about the ISO's at this point but the repositories. If an attacker is able to get at those and say, provide a modified version of glibc, it would run rampant in short order.
I would accept the phone as an *additional* authentication method, but certainly not as the only one. It shouldn't be hard to tie large purchases to a banking app for authentication. Heck, in a lot of places groundwork for this is partially in-place already: * Various banks including my own allow you to increase your daily debit/transaction limit to nearly $10k if you call in to pre-authorize it for a set period. You still need the debit card and PIN of course * My credit card company has periodically put a brief hold on an unusual large transaction, which was followed by a verification phone-call. The last time it happened I had bought gum, gas, and then a big-screen TV (apparently a common pattern for those testing a recently-stolen card). The TV purchase was initially denied, but I got a call then-and-there on my mobile from Visa asking if it was me making the purchase for $X at location Y, then it was approved.
So tie the above into a mobile app. If spending exceeds a daily, hourly, or per-transaction limit, require that it be authorized on the mobile app (with password) before processing further transactions. Your card/PIN would still be required to complete the transaction as well, but this helps prevent somebody from stealing your card and making a bunch of withdrawals/purchases if they stole the card and shoulder-surfed (or had a camera on) your PIN.
"And the positions I’d be offered would all be unpaid internships."
This is something that needs to be killed, with fire.
The rest of it is fairly solid though. Most young people expect the hard work is all in school and that a magical, high-paid job is waiting at the end of all those cram sessions and exams. Hell, my wife is going through this right now while studying for a new field, and the one thing I have to stress to her is that - while I personally make a good wage and a lot more than her current - that's based on over a decade of experienced gained and ladders climbed, including jobs with crappy pay.
But while even a decade ago one could start at the bottom and climb, an oft-overlooked factor is that that the bottom hasn't moved much, but the water your ladder is sitting in has. The *cost* of living (and no, I don't mean bourbon, but rent, heating, food, and possibly fuel) has surged and is outstripping wages at the middle let alone the bottom.
There are problems at both ends of the spectrum: People at the top who make obscene amounts of money and see those under as menial subservients; and people in the working pool who frankly lack either the work-ethic or take their employment seriously. Both problems also tend to feed each other, with workers feeling beaten down and thus "why try", and corporations who want to both sell us (or better yet, rent us) expensive products and pay us low wages.
Yes and no. It will compete for a certain market segment of cars, but more charging stations is better for EVERYONE who sells an EV. The EV market itself is not overly saturated so Tesla could very well benefit from this.
Yes. Government agency has to provide data for the defense's case (to among other things, prove that they didn't use illegal methods or those that might get the wrong guy). Non-government agency cannot be compelled by government to product a product for them (or break their own product).
Yeah, given how loose this "study" was in other ways, I'd guess that a gender of male was likely assumed unless something specifically made it seem female. Either way, I'm probably not going to shop at a gender-specific shop unless it happens to have something that other shops don't have (product, pricing, or feedback/reputation).
It wasn't one or the other, the first one was a question, the second was my understanding of the article.
Basically it says later offspring get fed less because - being hatched later - they're smaller. Normally they'd be hatched at a the same time because they don't incubate until mom sites the nest, but apparently that's happening at lay now.
So they start developing earlier, but it doesn't really say if they're not developing fully, just that they're possibly getting fed less due to the not hatching at the same time. Also, since it's indicating the later-laid eggs hatch later, it doesn't seem to be a real case of "early hatch" but rather non-concurrent hatching of a brood.
I also wonder if things other than the name of the vendor could be taken into account. Does the auction page look professional, or does it contain a lot of weird pink fonts etc etc? Is the seller auctioning an item that otherwise matches his/her name?
I've had various sellers which I suppose could be considered female (though in reality I'd say more that they seemingly cater to a female audience), but the big thing is that I may be more likely to buy an electronics product from ComputerStore2015 than LadiesHandbagShop2016. Mainly, this is because I can possibly expect more tech-knowledgeable sales from the "Computer Store" than the "Handbag Shop" (but I may be willing to buy from the Handbag shop if the price is right).
Does this cause developmental issues, or does the heat also result in a faster maturation cycle while in the egg?
In this case, it seems they're equally developed, but latter lays don't hatch at the same time as the others and thus are less developed than their earlier-hatching siblings.
Yup, and back in those days you wouldn't have gotten all that much flack for suggesting that members of those particular sects (IRA etc) were dangerous and had an agenda to promote terror.
You'll always have your one-off whackos, but that doesn't mean you should ignore when a given group is responsible for multiple incidents in a particular time-frame.
A Linux (MythTV) compatible Satellite receiver-card (or possibly USB device which supports the encrypted streams. I might actually consider paying for some Satellite/TV channels if I could funnel them to my MythTV box for PVR'ing or displaying on my mobile devices within my home.
Really, we don't need a firmware/BIOS/etc lock in software (even if it's partly ROM software). Just give us back a jumper or something similar that's defaulted to "no updates" in a place where most people won't mess with it. For those that really want to tweak their own hardware, just flip the jumper. For others, updates are not allowed.
Or, if you really want to make things convenient for everyone: jumper open=signed updates only; jumper closed=allow unsigned updates.

Right, so we should just help it right along then, because obviously there's no current man-made contribution.

Uninformed doesn't necessarily mean unintelligent, and in this case the powers-that-be are pumping out misinformation (or half-truths) at full force.
