Maybe it's people connecting USB storage to their routers? I seem to recall there have been security issues regarding routers sharing these devices externally even though they're only supposed to allow local access.
It doesn't show where the officer and the suspect were involved in a tussle as claimed by the officer, during which the suspect reportedly took the officer's stun gun.
If we're still talking about the officer Michael T. Slager case (I'm so/. hardcore, I don't even read the comments let alone TFA!), then part of the reason he's been charged is because the video shows him placing his Taser beside the victim after he'd been shot.
Not disputing your point about videos not showing the entire context though!
I seem to recall VW improving the repairability of a Golf so that the newer model _should_ have a better insurance group rating. At least, that's what they said.
But at least insurance does provide some way to incentivise manufacturers to improve repairability... in theory anyway. However, I believe cars are increasingly brought on credit with bundled insurance, so maybe that's how they deal with it?
I've not found the PC Mag 2012 best apps listing either, but here's a PC Magazine review of NQ Vault. They seem to be under the impression it provides better security than it actually does. Shame they gave it a relatively nice review despite acknowledging that it's kind of buggy! I note that user-reviews both on the Google Play page and the above PC Mag review mention it loosing their data... which isn't a huge surprise if it's buggy.
Being as it hails from Dallas, I'd assume they tried patenting XOR as a security method and then trolling every equally incompetent "data security" company they could think of before deciding to hack their own one together?!

Must admit that after complaining about PHP for years, I don't mind it so much now. I think each new PHP release should have the strap-line "PHP x. Less shit than the previous version!", because... it's true!
I do not know about New York, but if you take an Uber car and get into an accident, do not count on the driver's insurance. It was invalidated the second you got in the car, having promised to pay him.
His name is public however because it is in the public interest.
I'd like you to back this up with reason, please. The justice system has its hooks in here. Punishment is in their dominion, not yours or mine. So. Exactly how does it benefit the public to further drag his name, address, family, future etc., through the mud?
Someone is found guilty of a crime, it's in the public interest to be aware of this. The justice system in (in theory) operating on behalf of society. So the news media report such things.
I'm struggling to understand why you feel this is wrong. Is there a circumstance (other than this one) where it would make sense to keep the identity of a guilty party secret?
Your argument might make sense except that the perp in this case has been found guilty, and the crime he is guilty of was operating a business that traded off making peoples private pics public; essentially blackmailing them. His name is public however because it is in the public interest.
The thing I find strange/funny is that he must surely have learned a bit about what can and can't be made public whilst trying to defend himself, and yet... he hasn't, has he?
So on top of being a social low-life parasite, he's a stupid social low-life parasite. Double whammy!
I think I'm correct in stating that HTTP headers... or maybe email headers... or both, need CRLF endings, which seemed surprising to me. Not sure what the historical reasoning for that is.
Still, I think the main thing we should all be happy about is that MS didn't decide to create a new ASCII escape code called X-CRLF or something!
Apparently they also provide service manuals online for free, and seem generally more repairable than Apple kit according to iFixit. So they probably do deserve a bit more kudos than they get.
I also, don't see how they could justify supporting Raspberry Pi, while at the same time abandoning their own products, but I can definitely see why they would want to open up their app store to and easily available $35 computer. I will definitely buy one just for Windows 10 if they do this and it supports the App store.
I suspect it's more about gaining developer/maker mind-share than selling MS App-store apps. MS currently seem to be working very hard to ensure they stay relevant in the future.
Yep... been fucked for me for a couple of days now. I use the Threaded view and opening sub-threads is even worse because the new CSS has disabled the right scroll bar!
I mean, I know/. was never great for it's HTML or CSS, but this really is crap.
It is sooo dumb, but I think it is more to do with pandering to the electorate than anything. A good few years back, there was a report of some guy using a radio scanner to listen in to the police, find out where the queen was going to be that day, and then post it on the internet. I don't think he was doing it maliciously, but probably not a clever thing to do, and you can see why the security services would be unhappy with this. Anyway, one thing that came out from it was that there had been a plan to introduce encrypted radios, but they'd cocked it up or something.
Oh, and the solution to the problem? Ban radio scanners. You know.... 'cos then bad people won't use them, what with them being illegal.

The funny part is that Muhammad (pork be upon him) is idolized to a degree that would make a North Korean blush.
Actions speak louder than words, and regardless of claims to the contrary, Muslims worship their golden calf almost as much as the devil he spoke for.
IMHO that's one of the saddest things about the whole "no depictions" thing... the fact that the people who are most vocal about it, are the ones who have apparently, entirely failed to understand the intent behind this hadith.
It's almost like... they're just total psychopaths or something.
I really hope the "main stream" muslim community can use this as a reason to clarify some of this shit, because it strikes me that there's a fuck of a lot of self-appointed clerics who are really not doing anything useful; just stirring up hatred.

All fodder for the next series of the X-Files!
They've known about the problem since September and still haven't fixed it? If they were a private company they'd be out of business by now.
Also, only since September? Maybe they mean September 2009 or something?
OMG - What happened next? Was she able to revive the pilot and co-pilot?

Like they need it with all the other +1's, but a +1 from me too! Their support is really great.

Don't know the specifics of the case, but Yellow Cab in Chicago have filed for bankruptcy because they are presumably unable to pay damages to a customer who was injured in a crash.
There must be a bit more detail to it, because I would have expected Yellow Cabs insurance to cover it... but just goes to show... something!
Yeah I'm bored now! If you like, you can take that as a "win". Now you've just got to convince everyone else, and you've changed the world.

In the UK we seem to have quite a lot of BS audio products too. This one is my favourite!
http://www.chord.co.uk/products/accessories/silent-mount/
So for a mere £599 (approx. 925 USD) you can purchase FOUR small circular bits of hard-crafted titanium.
OMFG... I've just found these marvels too! Basically, there's a rich-seam of audiophile bullshitters out there.
Windows - the most insecure OS in the world.
True, but only because Adobe never made an OS.
True. But Adobe already creates exploits for all the other OSes in the world, so they don't need to actually create an unsecured OS.
AFAIK no Adobe software even runs on Raspberry Pi, but never-the-less, flash can crash it. The mere "aura" of Adobe can break things! :D
I doubt that China will be giving much of a shit about the FAA either.

Isn't that going to be included with Windows 10?
