Why is this a contradiction? Yahoo deals with billions of messages of a day. It's entirely possible that Yahoo built Kernel modules to handle mail sorting to squeeze out more performance from the kernel.
I wonder if they have a hybrid/shim approach, like FUSE, or the nVidia modules, which allow the actual module to be somewhat independent of the kernel (and perhaps run in user space), but be more tightly integrated into the kernel than normal user space code?
So were they handed a module and ordered to install it, or were they ordered to write custom code?
There would have to be more involvement from Yahoo. Kernel modules have to be built against the correct kernel version. Upgrades to the kernel would have to be coordinated with the NSA/FBI/whoever to ensure that the upgrade did not remove the scanning module.
Trump is a very bad choice for president, but locker room talk really is not why he should be avoided.
Agreed. He should be avoided for the stupidity he showed in making those comments while wearing a microphone. And, let's head off the idea that he thought the microphone was off: what's the first rule about wearing a microphone? Assume that it is on and recording.
For all the people claiming "he can't win", there is a extremely large population of Americans that long for 1950's and will vote that way, no matter what they say in the polls.
Just like Romney thought he had won in 2012.... oh wait.
But yes, you are right. On the other hand the same thing is true for Clinton voters.
Ireland: "While there are a number of political parties in the state, the political landscape has been dominated for decades by Fianna FÃil and Fine Gael, historically opposed and competing entities"
Brazil: "Due to a mix of proportional voting (the only first-past-the-post elections are for the 1/3 of senate seats every 8 years and for mayors in small and medium-sized cities every 4 years), the lack of election threshold and the cultural aspects of Latin American caudillismo-coronelismo, party politics in Brazil tends to be highly fragmented.
Denmark: "Of the 179 members of parliament, the Faroe Islands and Greenland elect two members each, 135 are elected from ten multi-member constituencies on a party list PR system using the d'Hondt method and the remaining 40 seats are allocated to ensure proportionality at a national level."
Do I need to go on? Either they don't use a first-past-the-post voting system, or they are effectively 2-party states.
Gear up folks, spend the next couple of years finding indies that are not batshit crazy and lets try to change the system for us.
I don't think independents are the answer you think they are. In any first-past-the-post election system, you will end up with a two-party system. Very occasionally, a third party will displace one of the majors, but then end up as the despised mainstream party.
The only solution is to do what the Koch brothers have been doing for the last few decades: work to push the center of politics in the desired direction. If you don't like Clinton, support candidates like Sanders at the primaries.
In several of the largest states (for example: CA, TX), the primaries are the only elections that matter.
But it's hard to believe the timing is completely coincidental, given how it seems to happen soon after Trump either says something particularly stupid or we learn about something damning from his past.
Are you sure it isn't the other way around? Perhaps the Dems have a collection of things like the recent recording of Trump ready to go, to deflect the news from things like these leaks on Wikileaks? The old Trump recordings have pushed the Clinton emails out of the headlines. Coincidence?
"...The mail scanning described in the article does not exist on our systems.â
"does not"? How about denying that it ever existed on their systems? Or perhaps there is some element of the description that isn't quite right (hence the "described in the article")?
I'm astonished to learn that there are actually people out there that accept that trading gift cards is a viable method for taking care of back taxes.
Try to imagine yourself as a 75 year old person, and think about the changes in payments that you have seen. A 75 year old person would have seen the introduction of credit cards. The idea of paying by by cellphone would have seemed absurd only a couple of decades ago. Even the idea of paying over the phone, using a credit card would have seemed absurd earlier in hypothetical 75 year-old person's life.
And that's the basic problem. The phone companies should block calls with forged caller-id. This issue would go away in a heartbeat if they did.
But, more likely, the phone companies make too much money from connecting these scam calls to stop them. That makes them complicit in the scam, but also profitable.
Actually, the infrastructure supports Chip and PIN. What makes the card Chip and Signature is something baked into the card by the issuers.
While the new terminals do support Chip and PIN, places like restaurants will need to buy wireless terminals to allow customers to enter a PIN at their table. I haven't seen any wireless credit card terminals in use in the USA.
Looks like a combination of my: 1. Imperfect eyesight (mine). 2. Reading too quickly and stupidly misreading.
My apologies.
However, to clarify, I didn't misread "RN" as "UM". I misread "rn" as "m" and added in the missing vowel. I can't believe that I am the first person to misread "rn" as "m".

What did you expect from them after they after entered into a "strategic partnership" with Microsoft?
I'm just going to assume that you are an idiot and move on.

Oh, yes. Trump would bring change. The question is: is it the type of change you want?
Agreed. He should be avoided for the stupidity he showed in making those comments while wearing a microphone. And, let's head off the idea that he thought the microphone was off: what's the first rule about wearing a microphone? Assume that it is on and recording.

Unsurprisingly, when it is cloudy, it also tends to be windy ......

The headlines on Google's news page reflect your own interests and attitudes, rather than anything general.

How long before the CO2 captured by this generation plant and injected into oil wells leaks out again?
What was the point again?
How does this verdict align with the one reported earlier today?

Clearly, the editors do not read submissions, since I submitted this story almost 12 hours before msmash posted it.

So, he's a Replicant. Replicate another.
The only reason this is happening is because Netflix is paying the theatres to "show" the movies, so that the movies are eligible for Oscars.
You were saying?
