How much fun you have playing a game is all about entirely subjective things. Theres no objective way to measure how fun a game is. Different people enjoy different things about games and will change how they feel at different times in their lives, based on their experiences. Going back in middle age and playing a game you loved as a teen you will likely have a very different experience. You might like games that I hate. I might like games you hate. People are different and people change.
Reviews can't really be trusted. Other peoples impressions can't be trusted. Just try the game and see if you like it. Same with lots of things.
The Russians, if they did anything, didn't hack the election, they increased the elections truthyness!
All the leaked stuff, no one denies it was true.
So the USA wants to punish Russia for making US voters aware of inconvenient truths huh? Nice 'freedom' you have there!
I have dirt on 2 people both running in an election. The information I have on them is true, potentially damaging to both campaigns, but not known to the electorate. I decide to release the information that only pertains to the candidate I do not support. Now, I am not lying or fabricating anything and anything I am releasing is true, but you cannot deny that I have affected the outcome of the election by doing so. This is what the White House is accusing Russia of doing.
I agree that it would have been better to have released dirt on both candidates.
All I'm saying is that the Russians didn't hack the election.
*HACK* didn't happen.
Besides maybe they really didn't have any dirt on Trump that wasn't already out in the open!
I just uninstalled 150 different variants of 'Mario' platform game knockoffs from my sons tablet. So yeah I think he'd like more mobile jump and run games too, please.
but know that virtual machine escapes aren't uncommon
For my entire life I've heard of maybe 10 cases of exploits which actually allowed to escape VM while at the same time each popular web browser (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari) has already had at least 300 remotely exploitable vulnerabilities (close to 1500 vulnerabilities overall).
Which means that when you're running your web browser in a VM you decrease your chances of being p0wned by at least two orders of magnitude. Also, since most attacks nowadays are carried out automatically, those attacks will stop at your VM because the exploit kit will not try to break out of VM since 99.999% of users out there don't bother virtualizing their browser and also there are ways to conceal your VM.
Heres an idea.
What if you could craft the audio signal so that it exploits the audio output software/drivers in the host when played from a guest VM?
Ie you have the guest VM hooked up to output its audio through the host, not uncommon in desktop virtualisation. And its the specially crafted audio signal which carries the exploit not the specially crafted file.
That's laughably naive of you. Where'd you learn that, high school? That's not the point of government. The point of government is to steal as much money as you can by manipulating it in your favor. See: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump and the rest of the DC Establishment.
Isn't that the job of the police, in the USA? Civil forfeiture "Thats OBVIOUSLY drug money *yoink*"
If the autonomous vehicle follows all the rules already in place, then it shouldn't be prohibited. Why change the rules just because of how it works? The rules are the rules.
The government has set the rules already, and the rules state that the operator is the one responsible. We already know this. Its right there in the drivers handbook!
Unfortunately I cannot think of any good way to smuggle video or picture content that a photojournalist or video journalist will be able to do in the field in adverse conditions like this that couldn't somehow be detected if the investigator is committed enough to being thorough. In some ways the presence of strong encryption might actually make it more dangerous as it means to look closely at this person because they've got that strong encryption...
Put it on a microsd card and shove it up your arse.
New blanket policy; anyone with a camera is cavity-searched.
Oh good, I was worried for a minute. If it'll be as harmless and rare as cellphone jammers, then I'm not concerned. I've yet to have my cell phone suddenly not work, or have personally heard of this happening to someone.
Now, if it were a problem like spray paint and those asshole taggers, then I'd be concerned.
I was in a pub in the UK with no cell signal, absolutely none inside. Go just outside the door, signals totally fine. Could not call a cab from inside the pub. It was an old Tudor building, I doubt it was originally a faraday cage.
I can imagine someone randomly giving "my vehicle is braking hard" just to cause vehicles behind to actually do just that, to cause traffic jams, or deal with yet another tailgater. That or giving fake "this road is congested with cars at a standstill" to get people to go to other routes.
I knew a guy who'd connected his brake lights to a button on the dashboard for this exact purpose. Ie press the button, brake lights go on.
So I guess you never rented a car or a room at a hotel. Who knows? Maybe Mariott decides they need to charge you $10 more to make their quarterly revenue goals!
I think I trust that more than, oh lets see, putting my credit card details into an android app and having that go out to some cloud service.
It isn't in Ubers interest to do that. If they did that you would never use their services again and they would be out a lot of money. Believe it or not, not everyone is out to scam you out of $100.
Are you saying its impossible for the driver to put in a claim for a soiled car and for Uber to claw the money back from you? Just totally impossible, never going to happen? Ok cool, you go ahead and use Uber. I'll use a cab and I'll pay by cash.
If Uber allowed paying by cash I bet they'd make more money.
What are you? 70 years old? The great thing about Uber is that you don't need cash. And the driver doesn't need to mess with it either (which keeps him safer).
You must be terribly naive if you trust Uber to hang onto your credit card details forever just in case they ever need to charge you some extra!
At the END of the transaction is when you provide those details. Not just from simply visiting the airline booking website.
If I can't create an account without providing CC details that service will NEVER get my business. Providing your CC details upon login or account creation is just stupid and riff with all kinds of potential problems. What if the account creation fails? Create my account then once I'm securely logged into my account I'll provide those details, but only then. Asking for those details before those steps have been done means you will never get my money.
I do really hope those Uber/Lyft drivers are getting educated or trained in some other profession though. Not a single one of them will have a job or 2nd income from these ride sharing companies in 10 years.
Yeah its the way Uber wants to hold onto your card details, you know, just in case they decide they ever need to take some more money from you without having to contact you first.
How did you book your plane ticket when you visited the city? Generally you need to provide some sort of payment up front before you get a seat going somewhere, unless grandma is driving.
If Uber have my credit card details they can charge me any time they want for anything they want.
Suppose after I finish my ride the driver puts in a claim that I soiled the car and they charge me another $100 for that. All I can do is go to the credit card company and do a charge back. Fuck that.
When I get a cab I pay with my card at the end of the ride and the card stays in my possession.

I was visiting a city where I knew Uber operated so I thought "Hey I'll give this a go!", installed the app. It wanted me to enter my credit card details into the app before I could use it. Uninstalled app, hailed a cab.
Enter credit card details in the actual app as a requirement to use the service? What could possibly go wrong with that?

Thats all. This isn't even a 'story'.
It is however very convenient when the truths for only one side is released...
Its still more truthy than it would have been otherwise!
Or what? Are you suggesting that its best to suppress truths about candidates unless equivalent value truths are released about all candidates..?

I already deleted my account and uninstalled the apps.
Hah I just write all my notes in pig latin.

Pfft. You'd need some kind of, I don't know, "International Network" to do that.
It would have to be some kind of network of networks. I'm envisioning something like a series of tubes.
Blanket policy at the border... confiscate all cameras.
Duh.
It is like cellphone jammers
Oh good, I was worried for a minute. If it'll be as harmless and rare as cellphone jammers, then I'm not concerned. I've yet to have my cell phone suddenly not work, or have personally heard of this happening to someone.

Scared the hell out of tailgaters!
Apparently they don't let you use those now
Possibly because you could register with a card that had near zero money on it, take a ride and their billing would fail...
So I guess you never rented a car or a room at a hotel. Who knows? Maybe Mariott decides they need to charge you $10 more to make their quarterly revenue goals!
I think I trust that more than, oh lets see, putting my credit card details into an android app and having that go out to some cloud service.

Or you could simply carry cash and be nearly anonymous rather than not-even-close-to-being anonymous with an app.
I know. Simplicity is too simple.
The Uber app *insisted* on the card details and wouldn't let me use the app without it. Cash didn't seem to be an option.
Cabs seem a lot safer.
how were you expecting to pay?
At the end of the ride.
When I get a cab I pay with my card at the end of the ride and the card stays in my possession.

Well, if it was lip reading Poles, all it would produce would be "kurwa".
Thats all it would need to produce.
