Actually, I don't have much need for certificate-bearing smartcard emulators; on the contrary, I do need rather a lot of static-password emitting devices.
This is true, and I'm not really "in production" with it - though I do manage IT assets for my extended family. Having said that, their certs all came from Comodo.
It ain't exactly rocket surgery over here, and we're not the soft targets one hopes to avoid being, so.:-p
Actually, I'm pretty sure I'm right in my usage of "effect." Pardon the crappy Unicode support; the upside-down "e" probably won't render correctly.

ORIGIN
late Middle English: from Old French, or from Latin effectus, from efficere ‘accomplish’, from ex- ‘out, thoroughly’ + facere ‘do, make’. effect (sense 3 of the noun) , ‘personal belongings’, arose from the obsolete sense ‘something acquired on completion of an action’.
USAGE
For the differences in use between effect and affect, see usage at affect.

verb [with object]
have an effect on; make a difference to: the dampness began to affect my health | [with clause] : your attitude will affect how successful you are.

ORIGIN
late Middle English (in the sense ‘attack as a disease’): from French affecter or Latin affect- ‘influenced, affected’, from the verb afficere (see affect2).
USAGE
Affect and effect are both verbs and nouns, but only effect is common as a noun, usually meaning ‘a result, consequence, impression, etc.’: my father’s warnings had no effect on my adventurousness. The noun affect is restricted almost entirely to psychology (see affect3). As verbs, they are used differently. Affect most commonly means ‘produce an effect on, influence’: smoking during
Anyone want to give me a list of whose smartcards to avoid?
I know Yubikeys were recalled for this; if you have an effected key they'll ship you a new one for free. The old ones are fine, just so long as you don't use the internal key generator hardware EVER AGAIN. I plan on putting a red dot on mine with nail polish, and retiring them to emitting static passwords for my online games.
No smart TV where the firmware and the hardware come from the same company will connect to any internet connection I control. I will allow Roku and Amazon TVs to connect, but that's because of the at least slightly adversarial relationship to the other vendor - the firmware vendor has an interest in the hardware vendor not screwing up their reputation, and vice-versa. It's harder to cover up misfeatures like Samsung's telescreen behavior when there's more back-and-forth involved in launching a product.
Also, it's just harder to keep secrets when lots of external communication is unavoidable and teams are larger - there are mathematical limits to the scale and security of any conspiracy.
They're cheaper than the cheapest Luxxotica frames that fit me, $130 to $150. About $29 for prescription lenses, and I have some cheap prescription glasses.
I've heard presentations on functionalizing iron nanoparticles with anti-tumor antibodies, injecting them, and then putting the patient into a high-field NMR machine. Suddenly, you can see every single cancer cell, not just big clusters, and if you turn up the RF, the iron nanoparticles wiggle like water in a microwave.
The predicted result? Well-done tumor, medium-rare patient.
I, for one, am much better at staying up than getting up. If I don't drink two cups of coffee before a shower, I'll forget whether I washed my hair. This may happen up to five times (I think...) in a row. Most of my "wasted" time in the mornings is the minimum amount of time to scrape the blear out of my eyes and make sure I'm safe to drive before I get in a car.
Pity. I was just thinking about how the iPod Nano could be the entry-level Apple Pay wallet you give your kids. Or made into a small phone for people who like small phones.
Before Pepperberg’s work with Alex, it was widely believed in the scientific community that a large primate brain was needed to handle complex problems related to language and understanding; birds were not considered to be intelligent, as their only common use of communication was mimicking and repeating sounds to interact with each other. However, Alex’s accomplishments supported the idea that birds may be able to reason on a basic level and use words creatively. Pepperberg wrote that Alex’s intelligence was on a level similar to dolphins and great apes. She also reported that Alex seemed to show the intelligence of a five-year-old human, in some respects, and he had not even reached his full potential by the time he died. She believed that the bird possessed the emotional level of a human two-year-old at the time of his death.
Alex’s last words to Pepperberg were: “You be good, see you tomorrow. I love you.” These were the same words that he would say every night when Pepperberg left the lab.
(I can only hope my last words are as earnest.)
Alex was also able to coin terms to describe his experience - apple became the “ban-erry” because to him it apparently tasted like the combination of a banana and a cherry. Further, the damn bird seemed to me to be capable of sarcasm. (The way he would deliberately report incorrect results when he was fed up with an experiment is well-documented, and reminds me of the deadpan style of a couple people I know)
My GP is cross-trained to perform chiropractic adjustments.
Once, I was unable to straighten my back due to nerve entrapment and possibly bones actually not lining up; this may have to do with being rear-ended a while back, but that’s immaterial to the conversation.
A few agonizing back-rocking movements with a pillow and a fist, and two neck-twists, and I was physically capable of straightening without grinding bone against bone. Add a shot of some kind of potent muscle relaxant, and suddenly I’m capable of straightening my back.
Perhaps the best approach is to incorporate the evidence-based portions of chiropractic methods into a traditional clinical setting like my GP has done? I guess I’m suggesting that we don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater, pretty much. Sometimes the problem really is a subluxation, after all, even if they’re not responsible for the majority of human illness.
DirectTalk, later renamed MotoTALK, uses 900 MHz digital spread spectrum on ten channels with ten frequency-hopping codes. Sadly, it's proprietary as hell, and new versions of MotoTALK are just a crappy messaging app requiring a data connection.
Assuming that it's a single regular ring around the equator of the star, and not a massive constellation of collectors eclipsing each other at seemingly random intervals because that's what was maximally efficient according to both energy capture, and launch costs, while slowly moving into more efficient orbits over the millennia using solar sailing.
It's not like there's no good reason to have anything but a blandly periodic function in a Dyson swarm
But the 2007-2009 unibody Macbook Pros were a miracle of serviceability, and the early white MacBooks were designed for easy DIY upgrades of the most commonly swapped components.
My family has three or four Insignia branded Roku TVs. They've served well for years now, and the software will allow me to plug in a newer Roku when the on-board smarts is well and truly obsolete. So long as we're still using HDMI and NTSC in the future, I lose nothing by getting a Roku other than the godawful remote control shipped with most televisions. The failure state is essentially that I'm going to change the wi-fi password, and pretend it's a dumb TV.

All bands are already allocated.
It probably looks a lot like the US allocation chart over there:

You heard me. Cheap glasses.

Matias also makes an Alps-alike that has similar properties.
Somehow I managed to dislocate my neck in my sleep, then.

Personally, I aspire for "too cheap to steal".
Yes! This~! This guy gets it!
This is how I feel whenever I hear a new twist out of Tabby's Star. Whatever it turns out to be, we're nearly certain to find something new!
Yes - but the part I look forward to is that now that we're out of accepted theories, whatever happens, we're going to learn something.

Here's the problem. All our good "mundane" explanations were all conclusively disproved.
Now what?
That's the cosmology for my D&D game.
