Revetted? Sorry, I'm not a native speaker, is that a polite way of saying "fired out of a cannon"?
No, revetted is when you fire the IT staff for incompetence, oursource their function to India, and then use the savings to buy yourself another Corvette.
If a phone that falsely indicated patches were installed were taken over by malware because of the lack of patches, would that phone manufacturer be liable because of the lies?
That depends.
If they released an update with notes that said "This patch is for exploits X, Y & Z" and then you got infected via Y, you would probably have a case.
If they did the Microsoft thing and the notes just said "This patch fixes a number of issues that could affect your phone." Well then, you're out of luck.
Easy. Mens rea does not apply to possession of child pornography. Simply possessing it is a crime, whether you knew about it or not, whether someone planted the evidence or not. If the technician will testify that he found it on the computer owned by the defendant, then that person is going to jail for a long time and will be a sex offender for life even if that child pornography was not on his computer until he handed it to Geek Squad.
This is what you get when Congress passes "think of the children" laws. Who is going to complain about tightening the screws on people who have child porn? Nobody - even if there is collateral legal damage.
And how in the FUCK do you define this scenario as "easy" for the accused? If simply possessing child porn is a crime, then it is EASY to plant shit like that on someone's computer and fuck their life over. Even trying to prove your innocence would be VERY costly.
Idiot.
Considering this, I'm actually rather surprised that some purveyor or consumer of kiddie porn hasn't preemptively hired a bot net or two already to spread kiddie porn far and wide.
We were able to obtain more lists – Georgia and Washington state, the total number of voters adding up to more than 1 million matches – and Crosscheck's results seemed at best deeply flawed. We found that one-fourth of the names on the list actually lacked a middle-name match. The system can also mistakenly identify fathers and sons as the same voter, ignoring designations of Jr. and Sr. A whole lot of people named "James Brown" are suspected of voting or registering twice, 357 of them in Georgia alone. But according to Crosscheck, James Willie Brown is supposed to be the same voter as James Arthur Brown. James Clifford Brown is allegedly the same voter as James Lynn Brown.
Way to out yourself as a child who's never actually worked in any kind of enterprise environment.
Oh really?
We just finished our Office 2016 rollout a few months ago here. It was mostly MS Office 2016 Standard with a smattering of Pro Plus just to make things interesting.
Our previous version? Office 2007, and that rollout in 2010 was a replacement for Office 2003. We will probably stick with Office 2016 for another 6-8 years so our next version will likely be Office 2025, assuming they still have a purchase option then.
Just because you're stuck in Software Assurance hell is no reason to assume that every small to medium sized business blindly follows Microsoft's upgrade cycle.
Because these are people who are proposing raising INCOME TAX on upper middle class people who work for a living...not that I rtfa, but this is the game that has been played for the past 40 years by these people, so don't expect them to change their tune.
I know reading the fabulous article is passe, but you might want to try it from time to time. For example, had you rtfa you would have noticed that the tax increased don't kick in unless you make more than $655k per year. If that is your idea of an upper middle class income, I would love to have you for an employer. I'd be rich.
But hey, it's not like we can expect you to be informed just because the article is conveniently linked in the header these days.
Let's say 1 million people die or are maimed all over the world thanks to human driven cars. How much "carbon emissions" will be caused by all the
funerals, ambulance trips, etc. this entails? Couldn't we say autonomous cars will "save" on "carbon emissions" due to avoiding 1 million
such experiences?
But you have to also take into account the extra million carbon emitters that you will now have annually. That's a million more people eating food, a million more using electricity, a million more sources of methane, etc. Eventually that will add up as well.
My belief is humans, were conceived in "God's image".
That is my belief, you can believe it, not believe something else.
And you can believe it, there's nothing wrong with that. Where it becomes dangerous is when you try to force that belief on others, when you add the word therefore
We're conceived in God's image, therefore
* we don't need medicine, we can pray the cancer away...
* disposing of that fertilized egg, that will never become a person, is murder...
Polling data matters? How so? And why is it your business whether someone else makes "informed" choices or "uninformed" choices? Other people's choices are not your choices.
If the people making "uninformed" choices are in power or can influence those in power, then they can prevent me from making my "informed" choice and leave my with no choice.
10,000 yrs later and all of a sudden society has this absurd calorie counting obsession.
We have to have calories. Otherwise the Food industry couldn't say that the chemical sludge they sell is just as good for you as the stuff a farmer produces.

Part of the problem is the way healthcare is billed in this country.
If I go in and see a doctor, I'm billed for an office visit. If I get a flu shot, which I'm supposed to do every year given my underlying medical conditions, it's a separate billable expense. Take a test, that's another bill. Xray? Another bill.
Maybe we should treat the patient as a whole, rather than as a series of billable events?
Aren't we all supposed to have quality insurance now? Why hasn't this problem gone away? Why are patients still being refused treatment because of economic circumstance?
I can't even.
No, we are all required to have insurance now and it has to include more things. We haven't fixed the ceiling, we've raised the floor.
Sentence: I officially degrade the USA to the status of 2nd world country.
Nope. If we were a 2nd world country (i.e. Communist), then we would have decent healthcare.
So someone comes up with a list of things that might be planets, then someone does further analysis and finds out that some aren't. Even (gasp) 52% of them! Science must therefore be useless.
Just for clarification from TFA, they did not disqualify over 1,000 candidates. What they found was: 67 Binary Stars and 3 Brown Dwarfs out of the 129 candidates they actually looked at.
That seems like an awfully small sample size to me, but hey I'm not a scientist.
Well my cable box is sitting on top of a TV. Not the one it's hooked up to, or even one that works for that matter, but it is still technically a "Set-top Box."

They do a pretty good job of breaking down why the FCC data is so flawed and also why this report only deals with Tribal Lands.

I'm more worried about how much NO/NO2 they are putting out than CO2. Carbon dioxide is mostly harmless, but nitrous is dangerous.
Agreed. Nitrous oxide is no laughing matter.

Well, he was appointed by George W. Bush.
