Nonsense there have been zero reported issue. I have shy bladder. Its hard enough to "use the bathroom" for me when anyone else is around. I highly doubt I could even do it, with women standing a few feet away. Why is my personal comfort and needs matter less than those of this new "class" of people.
Oh for crying out loud this identity politics stuff is getting incredibly stupid.
First lets look at "transgender" or whatever. Outside of a very small number of people with genetic abnormalities (XXY) these people do not exist. In no other case would we all jump on board with joining someone in a shared delusion where they pretend to be something they are not. We would get them the psychological help they need. If you went around claiming to be a bobcat and insisting we had to let you wounder the nature preserve (where people are not permitted) we would not make allowance for you, we would take responsibility for you as a society and deal with you. There is no reason a small number of people with mental illness leaving them unable to recognize themselves for what they are man or woman should be allowed to make the rest of us uncomfortable. Heck when a white person claims to be black trapped in a white body, there are screams of cultural appropriation and that person is rejected by both groups. The same group that is usual supportive of "transgender" nonsense will scream "cultural appropriation." The idea that sex and gender is separate is fundamentally stupid, and not based on much of anything. Yes there are some studies about brain organization that show some correlations with sex, and individuals who deviate from those patterns but even among those individuals the majority do not struggle with their identity or identify their gender differently from their sex.
Gay's are making the idea of civil rights a joke. The first generation of civil rights laws again addressed something objective. They dealt with something you objectively were, a woman, a certain skin color etc. The hunt for the gay gene has been futile. These are people with a fetish nothing else, and certainly do not deserve the projection of law. Their rights were never violated, they always enjoyed the same right to marry someone of the opposite sex the rest of us had, you can't get more equal than that. What these new laws are doing is holding a gun to the head of people with real religious convictions. Worse they are not even really needed. We don't live in the era of horse and buggy anymore. If the local baker won't make a cake for your debauched "wedding" its not a problem. You can google another bakery and find one you can drive to in 15min. These laws are simply abusive. Worse the SCOTUS is wrong they fundamentally violate the First Amendment. Freedom of Association can't mean anything without freedom from association.
Again the supporters of all this insanity show their naked hypocrisy. Someone with real religious conviction like Kim Davis refuses to issue a marriage license and they scream "but its her job she is a public official" some attorney general says he won't defend these state laws and they cheer. Well its his job to represent the state and defend its laws, why isn't he expected to do it? I'll tell you way because LGBT people are all about ignoring reality, and want to be entitled to their own facts.
Machines don't have butts, backsides, genitals, faces,.... Don't get stupid. Machines are... machines.
Really? Would you say that Michelangelo's David does not have butt, backside, genitals, or a face? After all a statue is a statue. Ah but its a deliberate depiction of man, something made in our image you say. Well if you build and android, a robot with a human appearance, is that not the same?
if the Panama Papers do reveal Putin used a shell to hide his money, Russia's citizens will not stand for it and force his hand.
I think that greatly depends on the why and how Putin and the media he controls spin it. Russian's are a proud people. That is one of the reasons they continue to support their strong man.
If Putin makes it appear the reason for the shell corps and money laundering was to evade international sanctions for example, a good portion of the population will cheer him for being clever. The only way this is a political problem for him is if claims he did it for tax evasion or something as a primary objective can't be quelled.
I will vote for the first person who promises to build a gallows over the reflecting pool and eliminate the current occupants of cabinet positions, heads of three letter agencies, congress, senate, and federal reserve board.
I think we can all agree that consumption of that intellectual property without consent is theft. It's not like driving some else's car, since in this case the original owner retains a copy; it's like taking some else's car design and using it to build your own car without their consent.
No we can't all agree on that. I don't see anything wrong with taking someone else's car design. I don't necessarily agree that intellectual property in the copyright sense has any value. While the patent system is in need of reform I do see some value there in encouraging invention. If car design does not advance the art and technology of car design in any patentable way than I see no reason at all why anyone else should be denied its use. Now if you do some actual R&D and come up with novel and improved way to do something as a result and integrate it into your design yes I would agree you should have a limited time right to license that.
Sounds like criminal tampering with someone else's computer to me. If this happened to me I know I would tell RightsCorp, "Of course I did nothing wrong and infringed no copyrights you are in error, but by the way if you ever even think of filing any complain against me, I'll be on the DOJ tip line so fast it will make your head spin. I'll be in writing editorials everywhere you can imagine about how you guys appear to be committing federal computer crimes against innocent members of the public. "
Most people in the industrialized world get plenty of sodium in their diets. If you are worried have a coke.
That said most of us get so much sodium from processed foods and beverages such as soda that anything we might add at the dinner table is pretty negligible. Putting a little table on your asparagus really isn't much of a factor in your dietary sodium intake, so saith my physician.
So I am not sure what folks hope to accomplish with this fork. On the other hand if we could easily electrically stimulate taste buds so I could eat oatmeal and have it taste like caviar that would be kinda cool!
Russia state media was already lying about what happened to Lesin
Oh I don't know I can easily believe his heat gave out before Putin's thugs were able to beat him to death. Autopsy can only tell us so much in those kinds of situations.
You don't have to use programmatic channels to do certificate revocation. E-mail and trouble tickets will suffice to have the certificate replaced sufficiently quickly.
And by doing so you have introduced an effective DOS vulnerability ( even if human based ) because you are asking people to make decisions to not trust a certificate based on communication over channels with poor authentication and integrity controls.
basically no process can die on its own. once exit() is called its the job of parent to read the exist status. If the parent process does not do it then the process remains a zombie.
Usually the fix for the leak is to kill the parent. Doing so allows init to read the parents exit status, and the now orphaned children are then adopted by init which will read their status and clean them up.
Well as others have pointed out you certainly can assign static IPs via DHCP. Usually you say this "MAC address gets this IP" in the vernacular of whatever configuration method your server software uses.
IPv6 will ultimately help with this but in the IPv4 world I am of the opinion that basically nothing other than routers (and devices performing similar functions) and DNS servers should have hard coded 'fixed' addresses on a well designed network. Which is not say that lots of other servers and resources should not have static address assigned via DHCP, you probably don't want the mail server 'moving'.
That said subnets sometimes have to change.
Life is better when you can update all the Ip address in one place and then just reboot everything or send a renew command to the old addresses. You can also check all the leases when finished to make sure everything important actually got its new address and nothing was missed. The first time you change the subnets a 150 person department exists on Saturday afternoon you will be glad its all DHCP. Because I can tell you if even one printer does not respond Monday morning someone is going scream!
This is like the sex vs gender thing, its a not an important distinction most of the time so its easy to miss. There are Jews of all races because its not closed system, others are allowed to adopt the faith. Other races become included by marriage as well etc.
There is also the genetic issue of being descended from the Hebrew tribes.
That was never really the point. Nobody doubted the software only lock on the iPhone5 could be defeated. There was already lots of evidence out there to suggest that at least some agency had already done so. Apple's argument was that they want to be able to make a secure product and in fact do, the iPhone 6. It has a hardware authentication solution.
What they were trying to prevent was a legal precedent being set that would effectively prevent manufacturers from building secure products because complying with court orders would necessitate they have a purpose built back door that at least they have access / knowledge of. Apple and all of us know some organization with the capabilities of Cellebrite or maybe some unknown guy can potentially discover a backdoor or a deliberately introduced security flaw.
The iPhone 5 has no such deliberate flaw, it simply isn't and sufficiently robust solution or it has vulnerabilities that were actually mistakes or oversights, that hardware based system in the 6 may make it almost impossible to access a locked phone with a strong password without destroying the data. Apple wants to keep it that way, and the way this played out so far lets them do that.
It looks to me like it mostly makes sense in terms of geography and population densities. The noteworthy exception being there is so little between Russia and Alaska.
OK, so you do this, then they say give it to me in plaintext, and then you're back at square 1
Days or weeks later. Stall tactics like that are important in legal maneuvering as they give you time to plan your next move weigh your options without facing a contempt charge.
Apple, isn't a party to the matter is the thing. Apple sold the City a product some time ago. The city, its employee, and the victims are parties. Apple isn't. I don't think anyone ever thought or expect a court could or would order someone to cooperate with an investigation they are this far removed from. Do you really think its right the government should be able to make you stop and help them because someone somewhere happened to use something you built potentially a long time ago in a crime?
What your broad interpretation is really proposing is that we can all be conscripted into law enforcement on a whim.
"Hi Apple my Apple care number is 12....." "Okay how can we help you"
"Well the instructions to access my data and reset my device password via iCloud did not work"
"Really our logs show the password was changed."
"Well okay they worked but I did not follow them."
"Oh, so how can we help you"
"Well I need to you decrypt my device"
"I am sorry sir we can't do that we haven't got the cipher keys ourselves"
"Okay well I could guess the PIN if you would just alter the device to not protect from brute force"
"Umm No."
I am pretty sure its going to go the same way for even the owner making the request. Apple isn't in the business of re-engineering products that are already in the field. Its NOT reasonably the government should be able to make a person or business abandon what they are doing to at any time to provide unlimited assistance to the FBI. They very concept is incompatible with FREEDOM. Apple already helped the government get access to that phone, the government did what government employees usually do and f**ked up. That should be reason enough to support Apple in this, without even getting in to the technical aspects of the issue.
Sometimes life just isn't fair. If you're an able bodies person and not traveling with any encumbrance you would have the option of taking your chances stepping off a moving vehicle mid block.
If you don't meet those criteria, too bad, you just have to ride until it reaches the nearest scheduled stop to where you want to go. The idea was not to eliminate the stops, it was give people the option of jumping early.
I can't believe anyone with an IQ even slightly above average would believe it anymore
IQ isn't really the right measure. Its a question of education. The average user does not know the fist thing about encryption. Beyond Caesar ciphers they have never had it explained to them. That is why SSL and pki are explained in terms of friendly little lock icons and colored address bars.
They don't understand the math, they don't know the difference between obfuscation and encryption. They don't get why if you give the FBI a backdoor someone else could also find it. They don't know the difference between someone else having a copy of the private key for example and weakened crypto that is vulnerable to attack. It has not occrued to them that just like SSNs, birthdays, and addresses can be leaked in a data breach so might information on how the crypto is weak, or a shared key.
I have always liked consoles for games because of the "it just works factor". You can pick up a title that says its for XBox One and you immediately know that it will work and you will probably have a good experience, and one consistent with the promotional videos etc.
Its entertainment I don't want do work for entertainment. I don't play what patch level of video driver works best, I don't want update libraries, and tune settings. I want to play.
I don't want to have to figure what revision of the console I have. I don't want bring a title home and find it runs like crap on my down level console.
I don't agree with much Trump policy but I hardly agree the protectionism he is proposing will harm everyone. It will certainly harm some, probably disproportionally people outside the United States. It will certainly help some it will allow a certain groups of skilled of American workers to continue in their current vocation for some additional years past the point where it would otherwise have been economically viable. It will marginally increase the cost of production and consumer prices on everyone else in the USA (a hidden tax, if you will).
I am small government guy, but one of the few things I think government should do is buffer the public, where possible for economic dislocations that occur more quickly than the span of a persons usual productive years. If you can effect that with minimally invasive use of law such as imposing import tariffs, I don't have much problem with that. I have long held the position we ought to classify labor as an import and tax businesses on foreign payrolls except where they can show the people doing those activities do not materially contribute to their US operation. Perhaps it could be prorated, for example an assembly worker in a foreign plant earns $100 but only a third of that plants output are sold in the USA than $30 of that wage would be subject to US taxes.
This is a far saner alternative than direct social safety net programs. If you allow the plant in the US to close and the workers to go idle than skills and equipment likely turn into a dead weight loss. If you keep them active its likely they can be retools and converted to other uses, retrained more easily etc. The same thing is true for IT workers. If you send them home into the unemployment-to-underemployment+welfare pipeline are they more or less likely to read up on industry changes and technical developments than if they stay on the job.
