I use Pandora continuously at work, and I have discovered new music through it.
Radio, on the other hand, even if you hear a piece of music that you like, the chance of actually being told the name of the artist is close to zero. So, there is no chance to really "discover" music.
Because 99 percent of what happens in a cop's day is mind numbing, boring shit. All we need is the video of the incident. Maybe it should also come on when they call in a stop but to run that thing 24/7 is ridiculous.
So record a 30-minute loop all the time and if some kind of event happens, aoutmatically store the last 15 minutes and the following 15 minutes. The storage could be triggered by gunshot sound, tazer use, or manually, by the policaman. It's not difficult, dashcams for cars work like this (with automatic storage if certain levels of G-force are detected).
This wasn't some tiny mosque in a backwater town of no-where. This was the largest mosque in London, for 5 years. This was hate and muder being preached in a large mainstream mosque.
There are some addresses on the internet that are only associated (except for misuse) with 1 device, these are "public IP".
There are some addresses on the internet that are intended to be associated with multiple devices, these are "private IP".
The key there is "intended". I think it would be possible for North Korea to use "Public IP" addresses, while its routers also advertise the "private IP" space. It's only convention (RFCs) that makes the 10.x space private. Within a small backwater of the Internet, if you control the routers, you could make the 10.x space public.
Can you really generalize that all the internal network must be from the 10.0.0.0/8 block?
No. I think that this is a huge over-reach in terms of inferring how the North Korean Internet/LAN is set up. All they have to do in North Korea is to configure their routers to route the 10.0.0.0/8 addresses as they want, amongst the "real" IP addresses. Yes, it breaks RFCs, but does anyone in power in Nort Korea care about RFCs?
This phone doesn't provide "access to the internet". It has a number of apps that allow you to interact with a small number of specific Internet services.
I guess I'm missing something. Why would anyone need or want to use a VPN to connect to Netflix?
Let's say that I normally live in the USA and I have a Netflix subscription. If I travel to Europe, and I want to stream a movie from Netflix, I am out of luck.
Or, hypothetically, I share my subscription with a family member who doesn't live in the USA.
When I upgraded hard drives on lap tops, I always used to buy external hard drives. Because they are cheaper, and you can copy the internal drive to the external one before you start work, and then just swap the drives. The last time I did this, to my surprise the case of the external drive had no screws!
I never buy external hard drives. I buy internal drives and enclosures. Frequently it is cheaper and, in my experience, those external drives have not had screws to open them for years.
I have detailed technical knowledge. However my time is not worth fixing every small gadget that breaks. If I break a blender, its simply not worth me sourcing parts, waiting, and then spending an hour repairing it.
This.
Decades ago, I worked for a large automotive parts supplier. A colleague wanted to get the bearings replaced in his alternator, so he strolled over to the alternator factory, where a friend of his worked and asked the friend to press in new bearings. When he picked up his "repaired" alternator, the casing had changed to that of a brand new model!
Then there is the time factor. A few months ago, when the alternator on my daughter's classic car failed, I just ordered a complete new unit. I could have ordered a diode pack, but I needed to get the car back on the road and I did not want to swap out the diode pack only to have to wait another week for another part if the diode pack was not the problem. I also did not want to take the alternator in and out more than necessary, because swapping it out is hard on my back. Not many years ago, I could have driven 10 miles up the road, bought a new diode pack and swapped it out, then replaced the alternator if the diode pack was not the problem, but now I have to rely on having parts shipped.
The filters, oil and disposal cost me more than paying some one to do it.
Really? In my city, there is free kerbside pickup of used oil and filters. For the same price as the paying someone else to do it, I can used the best quality synthetic oil and the best quality filters.
On my 2015 Subaru STI, I take off three clips and reach in to swap the bulb
On my somewhat older Subaru, the instructions for changing the bulbs in the tail lights are "take it to a dealer". It's not too difficult to change the bulbs, but it takes tools that most people probably don't have (ie. more than a Phillips screwdriver).
That said, I do not think the defendant in this case should just be allowed to get rid of potential evidence without court permission, regardless of whether he thinks it will be useful.
If you read TFA carefully, you will see that the defendant disposed of the hard drive before he knew that he was a defendant in a lawsuit. If people have to preserve all data just because they receive a letter stating that they might be sued, there would be havoc within every large company.
If you opened a Netflix U.S. account, traveled to Ireland, and then had to pay for a VPN or whatever in order to get the Netflix U.S. content that you indeed paid for, rather than Netflix Ireland content based on your IP address at that time, then I'd have a hard time suggesting that to be 'piracy' as well.
That's exactly how it works today. With a Netflix account that is tied to a US billing address, when in the UK, one can log into netflix.co.uk, but at some point, it redirects to netflix.com and then tells you that you cannot stream anything:
Watching Instantly Is Not Currently Available For Your Account
Unfortunately your account is restricted to streaming only within the 50 United States and its territories.
You may still access your account, but you will not be able to play any title.
With a relatively small vocabulary, you can say a whole hell of a lot.
A simple language for simple minds.
It works.
I have often wondered how much the English language contributed to the industrial revolution taking place in Britain as opposed to other Euripean countries. English is more precise in some ways than other languages, is it a better tool for expressing ideas? Is the flexibility of the language -- that it easily adopts foreign words an advantage?
English is, according to the Defence Language Institute in Monterey, CA, one of, it not the most, difficult language to learn (because so much of it is irregular), but, having learned it, are English speakers at an advantage?
Why not just run one fiber, ditch all the copper, terminate it at the local POP and then allow various vendors access to that fiber and compete for my business?
Some of those construction zones are there for months on end and with no workers for days at a time.
There was a stretch of road that I occasionally travelled in the UK, where it had an average speed check (with a low limit) because of road work for, I think, over a year, while just next to this public road is a nice, mostly empty, private toll road. I never saw any work taking place on this public road. I wonder how much the "road work" increased revenue for the toll road.
Years later, after the work has been finished, the speed limit on the public road is 10 mph below that of comparable roads.
I suppose it really depends on the job you're all trying to do. If your work is very collaborative, analytical/consensus based, and has a lot of bouncing ideas back and forth, then a more open space might be best.
I once worked at a company where the engineers had cubes, and, in additions, functional teams had "war rooms", which were dedicated large closed rooms in which the team would work. The war rooms were furnished with open desks, and frequently, couches.
Article talks about VPN being no problem... surveil 20,000 vpn connections per hour in 2011.
The article contradicts itself. It states that
The most widely used ones are called Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) and Internet Protocol Security (Ipsec). Both seem to pose few problems for the NSA spies if they really want to crack a connection.
But, later, explains that for IPSEC:
Ipsec (sic) as a protocol seems to create slightly more trouble for the spies. But the NSA has the resources to actively attack routers involved in the communication process to get to the keys to unlock the encryption rather than trying to break it, courtesy of the unit called Tailored Access Operations
So, for IPSEC, they break into the router, rather than the tunnel itself. Can they break into a properly secured Linux (or *BSD) box that acts as the endpoint for the tunnel? Or is this really only a danger of using closed-source technologies for the VPNs?
A possible scenario is that she doesn't actually own the music, her label does; and they were only negotiating with her out of politeness; though they aren't legally obligated to.
Yes, drive when drunk and get your life ruined. Why would you have a problem with that?
That depends on how drunk. Studies have shown that people using cellphones are just as likely to cause an accident as people who are just over the limit of blood alcohol, yet what the cellphone users do is legal. Then, there is the problem that different people are affected by alcohol differently.
Then again, most jurisdictions allow for people to not be convicted when they are mentally ill and not in control of their actions. How good are the decision making faculties of drunk people?
So, in summary, IMHO, ruining the life of every person found drunk driving, even on a first offense, is problematic.

I'll come back to a point I have made earlier. I think that most Muslims are in denial.
A religion cannot allow someone to preach hate and murder in the largest mosque in a capital city for 5 years, only being stopped when the police stepped in, and still claim to be a peaceful religion.

That came later. Perhaps a result of the industrial revolution taking place in Britain.

Prescription glasses can be bought very cheaply at Zenni Optical. Get a couple of pairs and try them.
