It must be better than the modern/english one. Maybe that one gets better over time but honestly I tried to watch it with my wife and it was boring *me* to tears, so I quite partway.
And rightfully they should be. Not being able to download an illegitimate copy of content shouldn't be a major issue for most folks.
What *is* an issue is that services we're paying for are being scraped for our personal information - which is often not securely stored - for their own profit, massively under-deliver from what is promised, are anti-competitive to the point where the established players sue to maintain their monopoly, and that we have demonised legitimate methods of transferring information because some people mis-use them.
Net neutrality often only *makes sense* to the techies, but I guarantee you that crappy performance, high bills, and unavailable content etc all affect the average person, the problem is that they don't correlate the evil behaviour of ISP's and gov't in this arena to the rising affordability of daily life. Until DRM meant you can't fix your John Deere, most people didn't care, and while concern over some of this is growing it's still often restricted to small segments where the effects are obvious.
I wasn't indicating that there weren't social issues, but from a legal perspective. From that side, you are legally entitled to parental leave the same as a female. Yeah, your employer might not like it, but if they try to deny it or punish you for it then that's when the legal troubles start.
Now whether or not you can afford to pursue the legal avenue is pretty much the same as any other workplace harassment, etc etc issues.
Depending the game, nobody *has* to win, but it's a trade-off between potential returns and the money/time "invested".
For myself, the cost of a lottery ticket is less than a cup of fancy coffee these days. It's a minimum cost for a minimal chance at a significant return. Am I likely to win? Nope. I don't really expect to either, but for $3-5 I can at least daydream about what I might do *if* I won, and it would be more life-changing than most other things I could do.
I'm not sure that politics always fit the same logic, but I suppose the mentality of "I'm certainly not happy with things now so any small chance of change works for me" is tangentially related.
Yeah. It's been a while since I've used it, but they taught us all COBOL in one of the basic University courses because certain large'ish local businesses still used it.
It's actually a rather fun language, and nifty for writing out nicely aligned and formatted reports. The compiler is also usually good at catching obvious errors, but $deity help you if you misplace a period in the wrong place and have to debug the code afterwards.
For $250/h+ though, I'd be more than happy to contract out my services in fixing up some old COBOL code.
You act like Trump pulled out the presidential credit card, said "order me some bombs" and then launched them.
Now maybe there will be a cost to replace these munitions, but my understanding is that there are "plenty where that came from" so realistically there's no immediate financial cost for materials. Additionally - and this is a bit more of a cynical view - a lot of these things actually become expensive to keep around and maintain over the long term. An unused bomb/missile is one that has to be checked for integrity regularly to ensure that it is still viable and also not likely to go over due to defect, and they need to be stored etc.
Now if Trump orders a bunch of new fighter jets, aircraft carriers, or munitions you'll have a legitimate gripe in this area.
"The Russians claim the Syrian government handed them material proof that the rebels carried out the attacks"
Yeah, well Russia also claims that they have (never provided) proof that Malaysian Air's flight was shot down by Ukranian forces. I don't trust what the USGov says but I trust Russia's "truth" even less.
Little Kim has been pushing the envelope for years in North Korea. Sometimes crazy, powerful people do crazy shit. Perhaps it's not even crazy based on their perspective, but it certainly seems nutball based on the information people on the outside have.
Yes all counts say they were warned. So either they thought it was a bluff, or deliberately chose to leave stuff there (at least things that could have been moved, like jets or technology equipment).
I've also heard of Huawei switches which basically an IOS clone. A lot of early tech companies started out as "imitators" before they got to the point of producing their own products. I've been seen a number of things from Huawei which appear to be of their own design and quite decent quality (like some of their smartwatches).
Yeah, I had the same problem with Kindle accounts. Kindle is purchased as a gift, but it gets automatically configured/bound to the account of the purchaser "as a convenience". This means that when I bought a kindle for my brother-in-law, I unlink it so that he wasn't getting my library/purchases/etc
If there's any link, I would say that an off-the-rocker a-hole in real-life is probably not going to be pleasantly adjusted and friendly in-game. I've played with some people who - between trolling and tantrums - I'm pretty sure should be on some form of medication or therapy IRL.
That only works if an attacker isn't able to write the secondary BIOS. If the attacked can "pollute" the first BIOS then he/she could also do it to the second unless there's a physical impediment to doing so.
One good way to secure this might be the good ol' BIOS jumper, but instead of flashing have multiple options/jumpers
Flash jumper (3-pin) No pins: No BIOS flashing allowed (prevents BIOS drive-by's) A+B) Allow flashing BIOS A B+C) Allow flashing BIOS B
Boot jumper (2-pin): open: Boot from BIOS A (default) closed: Boot from BIOS B
Right for what? Many of the BIOS upgrades I've downloaded dealt with hardware or situations that weren't present at the time the motherboard came out. Yes, there are bugfixes as well, but even these often deal with "allows hardware X (made after BIOS release) which doesn't play nicely in situation Y"
I've always been of the mind that low-resource situations are often *better* for security. If you have a very tight, resource-conservative ecosphere, then there's no reason it can't also be a very tight security-conscious ecosphere. When you start throwing massive pools of memory etc resources, then a lot of people just assume that they'll never hit on limits, so you end up with situations where - instead of doing things to allocate and check sane amounts of memory - you just end up with high limits "hey, let's make a two gigabyte array/string/etc, because nobody will ever use that much" (until they do, or somebody writes a hack depending on the overflow of the array, etc).
The movies are pretty predictable (Logan was good, though), but the *series* available on Netflix etc (Luke Cage, DareDevil, Jessica Jones) are pretty awesome. IMHO stuff based on long-running comics is often better suited for a series of episodes rather than a single movie anyhow.
This is exactly what I was wondering about. I would absolutely love if this allowed it to work on a PI, but if there's still some dependency on a module that isn't available on ARM, it's probably a no-go.
Then again, I've heard of people getting it to work on Chromium by grabbing bits and pieces from a Chromebook (which can play Netflix), so it's still possible AFAIK.
I'm actually OK with DRM modules so long as they follow a known, open standard (and yes, this can be done, much like encryption). Anything else is "security" by obscurity anyhow.
A lot of early fixes for RROD and overheating processors included some pretty simple solutions a) A strong "clamp" or a copper shim to more tightly hold the GPU on, so that it wouldn't come loose when the solder heated up b) Changing the fan behavior to be more aggressive to keep the device cooler
There were a lot of people offering services to fix early XBoxes and all it really involved was heating things up so that the chip would slip back in better, then jamming a nice thick piece of copper in place to hold the chip on tighter while still conducting heat away.
Yeah, it seems they still haven't properly deal with the issue of "pop-up vendors". These guys pop up around a special event (Boxing Day, Black Friday, etc) and sell a bunch of hot items at slightly below the others. Not enough that it's obviously a scam, but that it looks like they're offering the better deal. Then, days or weeks later when you realise you've been scammed, you get to enjoy going through Amazon's reporting process despite the fact that the vendor now had 100 people complaining that they've been sent an item from in "Canada" yet with a USPS shipping code that end in CN.
I mean, automatic flagging wouldn't be hard here. * Vendor says they're in Canada: shipping = non-local shipper (USPS), FAIL * Vendor says they're in N America: shipping is a Chinese local shipping code (ends in CN), FAIL
Being that we all had a similar complains and they were pretty easily shown to be a bad seller, this is definitely something that should be "testable"

In the USA, maybe. In Canada and other countries both parents are entitled to parental leave.

Canada too. Hey, we'll decry terrorism, and discrimination against women, but then sell armoured cars to the Sauds.

True enough, but one would hope that on any "official" modules or API's this stuff isn't done or gets cleaned out.

How did Uber gain access to an employee's personal device in order to search for this file?
(and if they did so, how do we know they didn't plant it there to deflect blame from themselves).

For a personal phone, this would be annoying. However if it's a work-phone then having some of these installed and setup might actually be useful.
Hey Christian/Sofia,
Are you volunteering to babysit my kid, then?
