The 6th amendment right to confront your accuser has caused many cases brought about by so called stingray devices to be dropped for fear of violating the NDA's signed by the department utilizing the devices, FBI included. I'm not saying they aren't out there or that many departments aren't over-stepping their bounds but any decent lawyer will challenge the source of transcripts and many cases have magically faded away for the lack of evidence unless they are major cases that can invoke secret warrants or such as national security issues.
I carry a Samsung Gusto flip phone, and have for several years now. It does what I need it to do quietly and efficiently. I have to take a laptop and hot spot with me everywhere to cover for work so I don't need, or want a smart phone. I have an in car GPS system, and work pays for the laptop and hotspot so I do quite well with a small well protected flip phone in my pocket.
They went from Don't be evil, to Do only evil in record time. Wonder which one made them more money ? Google makes Microsoft look like amateurs, though to be honest it doesn't take much to make Microsoft look like amateurs.
I don't see how expressing your opinion of a show can be construed sabotage, as long as you actually watched the show. I do see how content can skew the results based on the target audience but again if you watched the show your opinion is valid. What they need to do is find a way to divide the viewing audience, and hence the reviews into sex, and consider them that way. People who are reviewing shows they haven't watched are dill wads regardless of their sex or social agenda.
IE is not good, but EDGE is awful. I've got Win10 on a laptop I use quite often and after doing some damage control, e.g. taking control of the update process, I found it is quite useable, not my favorite but far from the worst OS I've ever used, but EDGE is hands down the worst browser I can actually recall using in more than 15 years. Edge is ugly, slow and cumbersome, and lacks basic features that nearly every other browser on the market commonly supports.
Your point applies only if SDCs are centrally controlled. If they are each an independent node that communicates with each other in a P2P or C2C method depending on massively decreased reaction times and localized road information that makes them much less vulnerable to a single point of failure while still retaining the bulk of the advantages. I foresee a hybrid of the 2 systems being the end solution, but I also bought Betamax, and laserdisc so who knows
I have every right to tell others what they should think. Just like you have the right to ignore my ravings and to tell me to FSCK off, that is if you come from the USA, that's what is so cool about this country.
I agree or can't argue most of your point but I do think that having one agency handle those tasks will lessen the inevitable inter-branch competition that occurs any time 2 or more entities get involved in some investigation that might cross one or more of those boundaries. That one dept. could be the Marshals, the FBI, or even DHS. It just seems that segmenting 'intelligence' gathering and workforce pools seems to over complicate things and create a lesser efficient organization, especially in governmental areas that already suffer from 'bureaucractitus'. I guess as long as the RICO act exists whatever federal agency is charge can use it.
I kind of like the idea that I not be required to check my email away from work, but I personally like to get a view of my inbox about an hour before work in the morning. I feel more comfortable knowing sort of what I am going to face when I get to my desk. I also like to get there a few minutes early to settle in 'gracefully' rather than have my admin hanging over my shoulder prodding me that so and so is waiting in the conference room and boss #2 wants an 'immediate' update on some project the instant I get in the office.
The FBI is indeed needed. While they do regularly exceed the scope of their mission, there is a great need for a law enforcement program that exceeds each individual state and can facilitate interstate investigations. Without them large criminal organizations, AKA the Mafia would operate with impunity crossing state lines, and avoiding prosecution by fleeing state jurisdictions. We could never rely on the states individual laws to stop kidnappings, mail fraud, gambling and other such violations that spanned several jurisdictions.
Robots or remote controlled devices ? There is a huge difference. While I'd applaud a school system promoting either as educational, I've never seen a true robotic competition at a level below super elite college.
Apparently providing a substandard education isn't enough to do for the schools in Florida, they need other tasks to really screw up to keep them busy.
Abraham Lincoln seems to deserve to stay on a bill. I can see why they are all for removing Andrew Jackson, he was not exactly a pillar of fidelity, or a decent human being, even by the standards of the era he came from.
I generally use audio to take initial notes but over many years I've found that transcribing them by hand gives me the best retention. In school I would use a cassette recorder, yes it has been that long, and then in the evenings I would transcribe them into notebooks. By writing them down and consequently reorganizing them I got the best understanding and value for my time. Typing them seemed to be less effective as I was more mentally involved in the act of typing than in fully absorbing the material.
What about really ancient older models like my parents have from Time Warner Cable, a model SB5101 circa 2001 ? TWC is absolutely awful, not only won't they upgrade the modem, they are the only game in town, and they can't seem to configure a DNS to save their own lives. Their DNS server are on the same subnet on sequential IP's, so that in the event of any disruption, both DNS servers fail together. Sadly the number of interruptions is staggeringly high, and only my addition of an OpenDNS server makes their connection function in a great number of instances.
Not according to the US, our laws apply to everyone, everywhere at our corporate masters whim and convenience, except themselves of course, at which point NO LAWS apply.
I am using windows 10 on a laptop, and after 3 or 4 days I decided I absolutely HATED EDGE, it is cumbersome, stupidly organized, performs poorly and freezes up often. Calling it Edge is very stupid, as the only edge it seems to give is to any other browser and Apple or Linux.
I'd like to see a kindle that could do both e-ink and color display, with a decent keyboard. Not sure I'd buy a new one period though. I have a kindle paperwhite I REALLY like and use a lot, as well as a kindle fire I was given as a gift that I rarely turn on much less use on any sort of regular basis.
You can set up an account that has no email associated with it. I know because I am using one now. Granted using an M$ OS is not a popular idea here at Slashdot, but I can't help but tinker with new stuff. After I took control of the update process, and set up IE11 instead of Edge which is a REAL POS, I can't say I am that unhappy with it overall. It boots fast, sleeps, and hibernates without errors on a relatively old Dell studio laptop. I also have a MacBook, several desktops running various flavors of OS including RH, Ubuntu, Win 7/8, a firewall box running BSD, and an alpha server running as my media storage box, it has room for numerous HD's to support a LOT of media.
Shouldn't there be a way for the account holder of a minor child's phone to be able to control or reset the security code ? Allow a pass code to be set so the phone is not open but not allow the code to be reset without the account holders pin ? Seems like a straight forward solution to this kind of a problem in the future, not much help to the poor guy now though. I know the account holder can track the location of phones under the account, my sisters kids are always complaining that their dad always knows where they are but they can't track him unless he agrees to load an app, which he is smart enough not to do.
Agreeable to whom, by whom ? You have to wonder how they can measure a subjective in absolute terms. Typos don't really bother me, the bad grammar leads to misunderstandings and communication failures, which already plague internet communications to a high degree. We can do without the additional impediments.

"the pollution is over there and not in our air. So by your logic, as long as the pollution is in China's ground you're ok with it. Got it."
Bottom line, their air and water is our air and water too. It is a closed system, even though it may seem infinite it isn't

Does it carry a towel and a tin of olive oil with it ?
No it is just a locker in a train station, a really small locker in a really big train station.

They've been in business for quite some time. I've never used them so I can't comment on their actual performance but it is not a new thing.
