Really this is in a long line of things that have been discovered that changed science. For example, in the 1930s and 40s, there was a debate about whether the universe was steady-state or expanding. Hubble's observations along with discovery of the CBR by Penzias and Wilson showed that the universe was expanding and steady-state was dropped in favor of the Big Bang. Raymond Davis and Masatoshi Koshiba both detected that solar neutrinos created by solar fusion were 1/3 of what they should have been if the Standard Model of physics was correct. It turns out that the Standard Model was correct in regards to nuclear fusion; it was incorrect in regards to the nature of neutrinos.
That's why I prefer commercial software with well established quality control.
And what commercial software is that? It's not like all commercial software has great quality control. Have read this >month's security bulletins from the likes of Oracle, Microsoft, etc. Also in the case of Struts, it had been patched months prior to the intrusion.
I think you failed to understand: The FBI investigated. They found nothing. They concluded the investigation. What you are advocating is fishing for any little thing that might convict someone of wrongdoing. That's now how investigations are supposed to work.
Multiple people have accused you of lying so it's not just me is it? Why do you feel the need to lie so much when confronted by facts? Is your ego too fragile to accept the truth?
But, let me ask you this (again): if I am, indeed, a liar, do you really want to be part of a community that upmods me consistently enough that my karma is consistently Excellent?
False dichotomy: Just because you're upmodded doesn't mean you're always telling the truth. I would in your case, it's definitely a case in study.
According to the truth, or to your childlike faith in corporate media? Benghazi was the start of a proxy war that showed the world how truly evil the U.S. federal government has become.
I base it on the fact that multiple investigations by Republicans who were willing to indict her of any crime failed to find one thing to charge her with in any wrong doing. Unless you are one of those people who believe in alternate facts.
She wasn't exactly cleared by any of this--all kinds of dirt came out and her political connections to the Obama administration allowed her to slink away.
So lots of dirt which she could not be charged with? Sounds like she was cleared to me.
We know what she did with classified photos of North Korea, which any idiot should have known were secret given the nuclear tantrums of little Kim. We know that the Saudis had access via Huma and a lot was found out by the NYPD from Weiner's laptop, at least when "Carlos Danger" wasn't busy sexting teenagers.
How about the simple fact that Clinton's investigation was concluded before the election and the FBI found nothing? With Trump they are still investigating. I don't know if Trump has done anything wrong but FBI should not divulge the results of an investigation before the investigation is done. That seems common sense.
The problem with someone crying wolf is that after a while no one believes them. I don't know if there is any substance to any uranium mining. I just hear the same outrage I heard about Benghazi that turned out to be nothing but fake outrage after many years and many investigations.
You mean besides the multiple Congressional hearings controlled by Republicans over years that failed to produce anything of substance to charge Clinton with wrong doing? Other than those, nothing.
Also sometimes parents don't buy them for kids. I see many kids' tablets are hand-me downs from the parents when they get new tablets. Or from other family members. These older tablets may not have the latest and greatest hardware but they don't need that for a younger child.
I do not get why most consoles are not backward compatible.. what do MS, Sony, Nintendo etc think... that we all want to have 100's of consoles standing around, just to be able to play both the old and new games?
The technical reason or the economic one?
Technically, all three companies switched CPU architectures and not just from one CPU generation to the next. MS (PowerPC -> x86), Sony (Cell -> x86), Nintendo (PowerPC -> ARM). On the GPU side, there were lesser changes MS (ATI -> AMD), Sony (Cell -> AMD), Nintendo (ATI -> NVidia) with MS having the easiest transition. Games can be emulated if the newest console has enough CPU/GPU processing power. However the trend for this generation is that the advancements were more on the GPU side than the CPU side. Emulation would be more difficult because of this balance. Then after that, optimization and tweaking would have to happen.
Economically there is not much of an advantage as it takes away from new game sales. All three companies could make the transition easier by making older titles available in some way. It would easier for the console makers to pay the title companies to recompile but there's little profit for the title companies to do so.
There may be another explanation in that Newegg sometimes acts as the middleman. You see this in the product details when it is listed as "Sold and Shipped by XXXX" instead of Newegg. So Monueal or their agents could fake "selling" many HTPCs when for a small service fee that Newegg that would collect as the middleman.
In the case of the San Bernandino shooter, they were trying to access the cell phone issued to Syed Rizwan Farook by his employer, San Bernandino County. Noting that the Farook and his wife had deliberately destroyed their personal phones but left this phone untouched, many speculated it would have little evidence as it meant that Farook would have carelessly used a government issued phone to plan the attack. Adding to this, the FBI lost the ability to recover the data on the phone when they went against the advice of Apple and told San Bernandino to manually reset the iCloud password before syncing the phone.
Again refusing to admit that you're wrong and constantly lying about things doesn't help your case. After all, I'm not the only one that has noticed you have a tendency to lie.
Yes you don't find using a touch screen to enter in text very efficient especially if you are entering HTML code. But as I stated before a large portion of the world does not use email the same way you do. Short messages are the norm. These days people have started using more abbreviations even in email to avoid typing as much as in the past.
I don't seem to understand the use case for using a phone for those things. To me, checking mail involves replying to mail, and reading news involves commenting on news, as we are doing right now. Using a tablet or phone for that is painful, especially without a Bluetooth keyboard.
I don't know about you but my parents don't write hundred page responses to emails. Sure having a keyboard is much nicer to have when typing out a thesis but for a paragraph or two, a phone is fine. Also that's IF they respond to emails. Many of my emails are verification of things I buy or reminders about stuff. Work emails sometimes involve longer responses and when I have to use a laptop I do.
Also you are ignoring a large portion of the world population where the keyboard is not better than a touch screen for language input: Asian languages like Chinese, Japanese and Korean are far easier to input for some people using a finger as opposed to a keyboard system.
Do I understand this right that they want brute-force encryption? If so, somebody really should explain complexity analysis to them. These algorithms have been chosen in such a way that brute forcing is computationally hard.
No they want to share methods on how to break devices. No device is 100% secure. Each device probably has an exploit depending on the hardware and OS version. For example, the San Bernandino shooter had an older model iPhone that was bypassed but that took several months before the US government could find someone who could do it. At the very least point the governments in the right direction: "Oh that model Samsung and Android, we used this company to break that phone." It is more so that each government doesn't have to start from scratch every time they get a device they want to hack.
You've not shown that, though; and no, I was merely pointing out that I am referring to peripheral devices which one may attach to a computer. I said that bit about not being pedantic to try and keep you focused on the context of the conversation you inserted yourself into.
So you're not considering a dock or a monitor which attaches to a computer as a peripheral. I see that you are changing definitions of things to avoid admitting you were dead wrong.
The monitor you linked to will not work if plugged into a non-Thunderbolt USB-C port, nor will a Thunderbolt dock. Show me one peripheral device that falls back to USB3.1 when Thunderbolt is not available, as was being discussed before you showed up.
Um that's not what you asked for. You asked for USB over Thunderbolt. I provided that. But again, you're just dead wrong. How many examples do you need to admit that?

I totally want FaceID! I can keep my Android phone safe while hacking into encrypted iPhones by holding the phone up to someone's Facebook page!
Other than the fact that's not how FaceID works.

Of the both of us, you are the first one to levy insults when you don't get your way. Like a child.
According to the truth, or to your childlike faith in corporate media? Benghazi was the start of a proxy war that showed the world how truly evil the U.S. federal government has become.
I base it on the fact that multiple investigations by Republicans who were willing to indict her of any crime failed to find one thing to charge her with in any wrong doing. Unless you are one of those people who believe in alternate facts.
I also know that she wasn't even charged with anything.
Congress doesn't charge people with crimes, the DoJ does, and that was headed by Loretta Lynch.
Someone doesn't know their Constitutional law. One of the implied powers of Congress is oversight of the executive branch.
She wasn't exactly cleared by any of this--all kinds of dirt came out and her political connections to the Obama administration allowed her to slink away.
So lots of dirt which she could not be charged with? Sounds like she was cleared to me.
We know what she did with classified photos of North Korea, which any idiot should have known were secret given the nuclear tantrums of little Kim.

No, WE do not. You allege.

No you keep changing the goal posts whenever you feel like it. And you've shown in the past you'll lie about it as others have noted.
Again refusing to admit that you're wrong and constantly lying about things doesn't help your case. After all, I'm not the only one that has noticed you have a tendency to lie.

So in summary, every time I point out you're wrong, you throw a tantrum and refuse to admit it under any circumstance.
Thanks for that, and thanks for providing sources and not being a douche about it like UnkowingFool
I've always said you were wrong and provided examples. You just refuse to admit any of them and tried to shift the goal posts each and every time.
You've not shown that, though; and no, I was merely pointing out that I am referring to peripheral devices which one may attach to a computer. I said that bit about not being pedantic to try and keep you focused on the context of the conversation you inserted yourself into.
