They probably don't want a sub-par version out there harming their reputation, so it would be most likely be a mistake to let the open source people run with it.
Actually, if they release ALL of the specs, it may be the other way. And that would be embarrassing as well.
What I would love is a "Good" keyboard. I have lots of computers so I do not want to spend $150 a pop for all of them. But I would love a keyboard better then the $12 specials, and the $50 keyboards really are not any better.
The most common mechanical keyboards are gaming boards using Cherry switches, which are usually a little under $100. They've been in common use for at least six or seven years, and work for 'normal' use in a pinch.
Other then that pesky little fact that they do not use Cherry switches. They use an ALPS inspired switch. http://matias.ca/switches/ Of course that is not covered in the article or summery. They just talk about a half keyboard that uses space like a shift key to make it the other half of the keyboard. Also not exactly common.
This will fall on appeal. You have an expectation of privacy in private places. So tracking you at home is still a violation... Very poor decision.
That said, he was an idiot for bringing it to the bank he was casing. Which also makes my point... It is more of an invasion for the law abiding then for the law breakers.
(Along with hardware methods like some kind of RFID reader built in to the keyboard/mouse which locks things up if the RFID ring/bracelet/patch on your hand goes out of range, etc.)
Already exists based on the blue tooth in your phone. Walk up and it logs you in. Walk off and it locks the screen.
The answer is a qualified yes—so long as the language or skill set in question is clearly on the rise.
Very much this.
Not just this... If it is rising faster in programmers then it is in the market (which happens a lot with highly hyped languages) than you will be in a flooded market. Unlike the "dieing" languages that keep people in them forever because the need is so great. Obsolete languages can pay VERY well, and you can take your pick of jabs and locations.
And if you pick the right one. A "language on the rise" may not be a good thing if everyone is jumping on it. By the time you learn it, the limited but growing market may be flooded. You can even pick a language that is falling off, as long as the programmers are falling off faster. A good example is COBOL. It is truly a dieing language. But with many COBOL programmers in their 70s+ the need is actually growing. (That said, you could not pay me enough to program in COBOL)
We have been well trained that it is OK for the good guys to bend the rules to stop the bad guys. Of course how can you be you are the good guys? https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Because "Mobile Friendly Pages" suck great green donkey balls. Even on mobile, most of the time. So Google is saying "Make your website suck for better search rankings!" And people will...
In my experience and opinion, most mobile websites are written by morons, to satisfy a checkbox defined by marketing, and are generally pretty much useless.
Which sounds like a badly done site, not because it's mobile. I'm all for feature parity.
So you want websites to double their development costs and keep two parallel sites up to day? That will work for about a month, and they the bosses will say "Just make one site that works (badly) on everything."
have been lots and lots of sites with mobile versions that were or are utter crap, and using the 'desktop' version on the mobile device is preferred or even necessary to use the site well. I don't see necessarily having a mobile site as being good.
This right here! I am seriously fucking tired of everyone trying to turn my large screen high def computer into a fucking phone! There is a reason I do not browse the web on a "smart" phone. A 4 inch screen sucks! And when I can not get out of your "mobile optimized" site on my large tablet, guess what? I find another!
With all of the articles about veterans seeking treatment for insomnia having a swat raid the next day to take there guns, you ask this? With Stop and Frisk in New York, you ask this? With ALL of the articles on "what to watch for" including things like "supports the constitution," you have to ask this? Now this is all in the USA, but I am sure people other places have the same stories...
Everyone screws this up with certs. Part if this is because they are needlessly complex, and don't really solve the problem they were intended to solve. The entire CA system really needs to die. In a fire. Right now.
The funny thing is that the technical security of snail mail (a paper envelope) is amazingly poor, but it is generally quite secure due to law and custom. However, law and custom is absolutely no security or privacy on the Internet. There is the problem.

That have a full sized keyboard that goes both ways... http://half-qwerty.com/ (OK, I think that came out wrong...)
I hate the sound of clicky keyboards.
If it's too loud, you're too old!

I didn't think NYC had "detached" homes...

They got jabs in Boston and New York too... They talk about jabs in Jersey, but the don't have any... :) Damn Auto-correct....

Bing. Seriously... Using it more will help it learn. All search engines track what you actually pick, so they improve with use.

So, to answer your question, Western Governments!
There are LOADS of enemies out there, and every nation's gov wants to know what is going on.
Well of course. Once you consider your own citizens enemies, you end up with lots of them.
Where'd you get that idea anyways?
Jeremy Oliver and Edward Snowden. Why?
All the slashdot users with gmail couldn't tell anyone.

Shhh! That is why it is lag free... Don't lag my DNS, bud...
