Only those that are required to by some laws, regulations, or an external body, such as financial or health care institutions. Everybody else cheats on infrastructure and recovery equipment. They figure the odds of 2 or more related apps going down and then combine recovery/fail over systems and equipment into one. The cell phone industry is one of the worst, they barely have enough equipment to handle 50% of their KNOWN customer load and just figure that not everyone is going to try and make a call at the same time. When we were primarily a land line market the governing FCC require them to handle at least 80% before a failure, but as we switched to mobile devices they did away with the requirements for workload almost entirely, arriving at the basic priority restoration system we have now. In the event of a emergency the cell networks are going to fail almost instantly, leaving texting as the only, unreliable alternative.
How many Match books ? How many pairs of Levi's have been sold ? How many bottles of coke ? How many Big Mac's ? This is an fluff piece that should be treated like the disguised ad that it is.
I worked on PDP's in my younger days. I haven't thought about that in a long time. Another oddity I deal with but never understood why is the difference between International sports hosting order and the US. In the US it Team A @ Team B, while internationally it is Team A hosting Team B. I have to remind myself of that when I am watching UEFA/BPL/La Liga, vs US football or the MLS.
I came to say something like the above, but the AC has summed it up pretty well. I am sorry Harrison Ford was injured but sometimes it takes extreme circumstances to save the rest of humanity from Ford killing any more of our childhood dreams.
So speaks the flailing EU, the sinking GB, the nanny states of Australia, or the irrelevant nation of Canada ? or maybe you hail from the greater significance that is Central or South America ? Maybe you are posting from the land of wine and honey that is greater Africa ? There is no country or region at this point, or really at any point in history that is not suffering from some sort of failure or another, be it racial inequality, economic instability, privacy issues, global climate change, etc. But of course the US and 'north' China are the joke...
People biatch and complain when FB allows links to so-called hate speech, or porn but they also biatch and complain when they block other content. FB has a right, and duty to verify and vet links and edit content posted to their service in the same way a news organization 'should' verify sources prior to broadcasting it. I think they deserve to be applauded for taking the brief time and spending a little effort checking things out before restoring access. It shows a bit of responsibility and accountability lacking in many social networking tools and quite a few news services.
I really enjoyed the comment about it harming our basis of mutual trust. The implication being that we 'trust' they are violating every agreement and treaty they've ever participated in and that they 'trust' we are spying on their every move ?
Can't argue that point, although when the temp exceeds 115 F it is horrific in any case. The humidity rarely exceeds 30% here thankfully. We have a pool cooler here that gets more use than the pool heater ever does.
Only 100 F, you panty waist. It was 105 F here by 0930 and will likely reach 115 F today. That said by the time they got the slurpee to me it would be warm sugar water:( On days like this I question the wisdom of accepting a contract in Yuma AZ, though the AC indoors works like a champ.
A smart phone is not essential either but that probably won't go over well. I am not sure if a cell phone even really qualifies as essential but they sure are firmly in the useful Dept.
I switch seasonally from a town in the SF bay area that has multiple options in ISP's and a very fast home service of 100mbps to Yuma AZ where I can barely get 15mbps from the only show in town for more money. While it pales in comparison to Gbps service just the addition of another competitor drove down the cost and increased bandwidth in the existing Comcast offerings. BTW I've mentioned before I love Astound/Wave communications, and TWC/Charter to be known as Spectrum communications SUCKS donkey genitalia.
I'd rent them space for a drone recharging station/rest stop especially if it got me preferred delivery or a discount on delivery. I'm already a prime member and get more than my monies worth in Prime video and discounted shipping, not to mention the kindle library and streaming music. I hate coming of like a shill but I like amazon and my family and I shop a lot online. I buy paperback books by the boatload from amazon for ridiculously low prices and then share them with friends or donate them to the local school.
Just in time for the Olympics. I am sure the idea of major social network block is making NBC giggle with joy. The more social media is blocked the better NBC's Olympic monopoly will become. It is bad enough they don't cover half the events to begin with but the times they broadcast the ones they do cover is horrible. We'll get hours and hours of floor exercises and 20 minutes of judo. By the time the track and field is done we'll know about every cousin of 'John Doe' the 200 m sprinter but not have seen 5 minutes of Archery coverage. I can't believe they are having golf in the Olympics this time...
Good to know but the biggest issue I have with Apple is the requirement to go through iTunes which is awful. I want to just plug my device in via USB and see it as a device. After having watched my brother deal with iTunes and the iCloud and reading about iMatch I'd not want to step into that mess. I don't carry a smart phone but use a Sony mp3 player that usb's into my PC and then I connect in my car via 3.5mm aux connection.
That was my original point. I use a generic mp3 player and I load my music from my pc. I keep a 2ndary drive that I do not define to said music software because I don't want to acquire license information or such crap on top of the stuff I put on it when I ripped it. I am not an apple user, no iPhone or iTunes so I am not familiar with their usage or finer points. I use VLC or media player depending on the machine I am on. I run an private FTP setup to access said music files remotely and network the drive when at home.
This reminds me of why 3D has never really impressed me that much, because it is used as the end all be all, instead of something to enhance a story that is good on its' own right. The CGI in the battle sequences of the Lord of the Rings movies is very impressive and was just used as an aid to a critical part of the story rather than for the wow effect. With the ability to animate effects and the entire world of literature to draw on, why is it Hollywood seems to just reboot the same lame crap over and over again ?
Who ya gonna call, Ballbusters ? Why isn't the 'new' Ghostbusters a new standalone story, rather than a reboot with 4 women ? 4 women could just as easily carry off a good new expansion to the franchise.
Very little actually, it is only referenced in that DRM and licensing for use vs. purchasing often go hand in hand with the method to control the product.

Except that you DID authorize them in the EULA fine print to update, maintain and patrol your licensed works, not purchased, that you technically don't own. I am not sure being a non-apple person whether it is possible to disable the acquiring of licenses or updating of said authorizations as an option, as it is in the M$ media player. I keep my music on a disk not defined as part of my 'music library' to the program that I use to load my mp3 player and generally use VLC with no DRM enabled to play my music at home or on my network.

Anyone who reads a book or watches TV depicting criminal behavior should be charged with said behavior. A service that provides support or hosts a site that is pro ISIS should be guilty of a felony ?? How about they be notified and asked or told under some valid law or jurisdiction to take down such a site first.
Or maybe the driver just lied to cover up the fact that he was a poor driver who lost control and hit a guard rail. After all a car hitting a guard rail has never happened before driver assist was implemented. Nor has any driver attempted to cover their a$$ by lying to the cops about what they were doing that led up to the crash. I dropped the roach and was trying to find it when I slammed into the car ahead of me...err no that's not what happened
