IE, as of about version 9, is on par with other major browsers in terms of security. It only gets more publicity because, let's face it, it's IE, and still the most widely used browser.
Just because its common doesn't mean its used. And you don't see these stories about Firefox or Chrome, at least not many. And given the market share that Chrome enjoys you would expect to see many more stories.
You've fallen for the old Microsoft lie: They insist We are attacked because we are popular. The real story is they are attacked because they are easy targets.
That's the problem with the EU: the member states have far too much power still so the EU can not function as one entity in matters like this. This gives enormous problems who come in shiploads to Italy for instance.
Or its the sole saving grace of the EU.
I suppose if tyranny is your cup of tea, a continental directorate would be more to your taste. A world wide one would be Nirvana.
Don't the British punt on a body of water, e.g. punting on the Thames?
El Reg uses the term punters for subscribers or customers paying for a service, like monthly phone bills. Like much of english slang, I have no clue where that came from.
Finally, a decent ironic captcha. Most are pretty much a stretch, at best, some, I don't get at all.
If you were referring to TFA you are not alone in your bewilderment. It is neither a great article (as the summary suggests), nor does it have a particularly well structured chain of thought. It is, at best, tangential to what the summary claims, and the entire purpose seems to be the self aggrandizement of an urban anarchist and his photographer buddy.
The majority of people do not have facebook accounts. Oh, and here's another tip for you: your little circle jerk of facebook friends does not represent the real world.
The U.S.. and a bunch of exiles still pissed about losing their wealth from when they were Battista cronies, have a serious hate-on for Cuba. Until the Castros are dead and Cuba is a slathering U.S. lapdog, the U.S. and CIA will actively sabotage any development there.
This is idiotic old school thinking.
Establishing open internet connections changes users perspective, it is seductive beyond any ability to control. China is a perfect example. In spite of having enough people to build and maintain the great firewall of China, it has been largely ineffective, and the people have seen and adopted world views. The entire country has and is changing and even those in power see little point in preventing free access to world news (as long as it doesn't tie to any key hot buttons like Tiananmen Square, etc.
The same would happen in Cuba, only faster, because they have neither the people or the expertise to throw at firewalling. The west knows this. So does the Cuban government. It is not the west that is standing in the way.
Given the opportunity, the US (not to mention major US corporations) would hang free wifi on every street corner in the country. The current regime would last maybe 8 years after that.
In Capitalist countries, office holders and policy makers get voted out of office occasionally.
(And before you say (as I know you intended to) that there is no difference between the parties, just scan a few threads here on Slashdem to see all the anti republican rants. There seems to be a lot of difference in many people's minds.)
. If they have an "idiot" as an "expert", this speaks a lot about them and they probably need your help quite a bit.
Seeds of wisdom right there.
They brought in a consultant. That consultant tends to have more believably right off the bat than the local staff.** Chance are they already suspect or know he's an idiot, or the people he works with know this. If he could get it done by himself they wouldn't have hire you.
Test the water, tell them this other guy or that other gal would be a more appropriate assistant, and you don't need to tie up their *cough* expert.
If you get stuck with him anyway, Treat him like a gofer, find him some busy work out of the way.
Or just tell them he doesn't have the skillset needed.
**(This is almost a universal truth. You can quit your job, and come back as a consultant and the same management will fall all over itself doing what you recommend. You just have to give them long enough to forget you recommended the same damn thing as an employee).
What, pray tell, is a "continuous image" and how is it not a series of snapshots?
Is this like a video (which is seemingly continuous over time, made by sequencing snapshots) or like a panoramic image (which is continuous over space, made by processing/overlaying snapshots)?
Think slit cameras. You only need to capture a small slit-width at any given time, and paste them side by side in an endless stream of slit widths. You build images one slice at a time.
But it probably gets Google the sats it needs for free.
If google can build it, but only the military can use the full resolution, it sounds like google is probably getting huge piles of money from the US Military.
They didn't like her, so they just snuck her onto the no-fly list, and now that the shit has hit the fan they are going with a slip of the pencil.
That's their story and they are stuck with it.
And it may prove the undoing of the No Fly List. After all, this proves once again how ridiculously stupid the whole concept is, especially when there is no way to challenge it.
Just change it to a extra-special-search list, and let people fly but check them carefully. After all if they have no weapons in their shoes or underwear, and there are not more than 2 of them on any given flight, what's the problem? There are hundreds of people on the list for no reason what so ever.
In 2013, NIF researchers began to explore the problems more scientifically; there was also a change of leadership at the lab and new researchers joined the team.
Apparently casting those chicken bones under the reactor had no effect and they had to switch to SCIENCE!
You can have Google Plus keep your photos/videos updated in your plus account as private. Then, you can download them to your pc if you need to. It does mean that google has your stuff but don't they anyway with it on your phone? If this bothers you, stop using your phone.
Similar Idea (but without the Plus) is Dropbox. (at least for photos). It has an option uploads every photo you take. These will then automatically download to the dropbox folder on any machine(s) you have designated.
However, I'm Not sure either of these is exactly what was asked for here.

How long has Cuba had free access to the internet?
Way to totally miss the point!

It depends on who you ask.
http://gs.statcounter.com/ shows Chrome clearly in the lead.
http://www.w3counter.com/globa... also shows chrome leading.

Not that new.
Its been around since 2009 at least. The term is best explained by the above article.
However the RSA has started slinging this name about in 2012.
The hallmark is simply planting your malware where your targets often go.

You are a statistical outlier.

Every time I think Microsoft has their browser house in order, and it might be safe to use IE occasionally, stuff like this hits the fan.

How the fuck did you manage to spin this as a political issue?
You seem to have plenty of money for cocaine. Maybe want to dial that down a bit.
Dono If I want to be told about a death star heading to earth only to be told weeks later it was a stitching artifact.
Any given film is not always that important. Its the difference between films over time.
Besides, film tech was pretty awesome quite a while ago.
I wish they accepted PayPal. Sent them some shekels anyway. Long way to go to get that 60,000 scanner.

The problem is that the strong nuclear interactions are totally unwieldy. You can't solve them without giant supercomputers,
Shhh. Don't tell Richard Feynman and his buddies.
They are doing that anyway.

The hydrogen bomb IS a fusion bomb. Its been around since 1952.
The match you use to light a fusion bomb is a small atomic (fission) bomb.
I love this bit from TFA:

You deciding that it is an unconstitutional law (when in fact it is nothing but a bill at this point) is significantly above your pay grade.
The sponsors cited their constitutional authority to regulate this.
When you are appointed to the bench, you can rule otherwise.
But in unless or until there is a challenge in court, once approved by the house and senate and signed by the president it is constitutional.
