The less you do with a murdered body the better. If in Florida there are always alligators that can solve your problem. Warm humid weather and natural decomposition in a warm humid environment is taking care of a corpse better than trying to burn it. Especially if you have an area with wild carnivorous animals (Alligators, Coyotes, Foxes, Rats...)
Foundations - in the way that now there's optical fiber backbones all over the place, and there's a proof that it is feasible to offer internet services to most citizens.
Fails in the obvious part, the hard thing is to know that it exists, then it comes down to that the web page doesn't work unless you select Internet Explorer.
So they could do more on the accessibility of the information. The documentation is also hard to get a grip on unless you read through it before you can decide if it's useful for a specific application or not.
Bots are probably here to stay, as long as they are finding good and useful stuff for us they are harmless and can sometimes be useful. It's the evil and misleading ones that are ranging from annoying to dangerous. "Look at this red rose, it's as red as your blood that you will see unless you pay us $25."
From another perspective bots are probably going to lead the way into artificial intelligence. Sooner or later we will see bots doing more stuff than just writing on twitter or posting Wikipedia articles.
Now - just because one company goes belly-up doesn't mean that another can't take over and be successful.
What you have is not by far a successful IT platform yet, you have the foundation. What is limiting is the ISPs and their customer agreements that effective limits the users to being consumers of bandwidth and services. When the ISPs realizes that their models with bandwidth throttling and agreements prohibiting customers to set up services at home slows down development of new companies and services then you will see new creations. Not everything will be successful, but enough will be to build the next big corporation.
Add to it that it's not obvious in easily accessible documents what the differences are between the processor models aside from cache size and other features that are easy to show to customers but when you have two processors with vastly different price but same basic specs (Clock, Cache, addressable memory) it's hard to understand why one is more expensive than the other.
This article at least provided more information about the existence of the feature than any release note provided.

Patents That Kill

· Score: 2
Even for copyright it's sometimes way too long. And when a company is registered as the creator, what happens then?
For work of fiction the copyright is OK if it's until 2 years after the demise of the author (which shall be enough to bring a closure), but outright abuse of a work should be protected for longer (People doing porn or nazi propaganda of children's books etc.) [Insert Godwin here] However Satire and Humor tweaks of the works is already OK on works under copyright, and is not a big deal anyway - even though some people don't understand that.
For computer software the copyright should end no later than 12 months after the public support of the software ends. This means that since Windows XP no longer is supported it should be "open" for use sometime next year if that rule was followed. This is also more in line with reality - software companies aren't usually really making money out of old major releases anyway. And if they think that they will, then it will be in their interest to keep long support terms.
For patents I agree that they are stifling innovation, and there's no prize for second place - even though independent patent applicants can file for patent almost simultaneously. The patent system today is more a monopoly situation, and also too lax in allowing patents for obvious solutions.
If the environmentalist big brothers gets their way the cars will be constricted to be very slow and inefficient, all to make public transportation appear more appealing.
Nothing is going to happen until a serious mishap occurs.
Meanwhile the automakers looks into strange hacks instead of proper physical segmentation and gatewaying. They do have a gateway, but it is just a gateway between different IP address series on the same physical net in some cases - in order to save money on hardware. So a rogue unit can just look at the different series and fake it being a different type of unit causing interesting things to happen.
At least he had a good story on the TV series, which really was important. A lot of the CGI effects were at the time decent but today they wouldn't measure up. At least the CGI effects were in most cases only backdrops, so it didn't really matter that they weren't fully realistic. A good thing was that it held stories within the grand story.
The story itself did leave a lot of threads to follow outside the station with several untold stories. The technomages are still a bit of a mystery, who are they actually, and what were their origins?
Gideon: I thought you said you never hold a grudge. Galen: Well, I don't. I have no surviving enemies... at all.
The only way around it is to avoid storing sensitive data on the phone.
This must also be an important issue for those that uses phones as security tokens, i.e. banks and other important institutions that sends an SMS with credentials to provide verification - it's a very insecure solution since the phone may have an app that forwards the credentials to a third party that can use this to access the system.
I think that it's as insightful as it can be. There are too many humans around. We do see Ebola which is bad and is propagated through contact which means that it's not very contagious. Hand us something that's at least as deadly as Ebola, contagious as the common cold and with an incubation time of several weeks and you have a "winner".
I think that Java started to fail when it went into a split of Standard Edition and Micro Edition instead of relying on the same core for both platforms and then have a good interface between the different libraries. Of course - today the mobile devices are often powerful enough to run Java SE, but it still comes with unnecessary overhead there. The problems with diverting code started when Java 5 was released when you could improve the code considerably when it comes to being type safe through the Generics feature. However Java ME did not follow and that caused problems for developers trying to create a write once, run everywhere app.
I think that the business model that Oracle has is not working when it comes to projects like Java where there is a large codebase depending on the openness of the platform - and by cutting the strings Oracle will suddenly make Java insignificant even though it has been in decline for some while. Cutting the strings might also alienate many major companies that have a large codebase in Java today and that depends on a long term support of that language. So Oracle may sit with something that they want to turn into a fully commercial unit while at the same time they can't because it will kill the product. And a dead product means that they can't find any software developers on the market for their own software written in Java. A catch 22.
The other way around would be to make Java fully open source under some useful license, e.g. the Apache License. But I don't think that Oracle understands how to maintain control then.
Microsoft IE11 isn't even backwards compatible with older versions of Outlook web mail, and by older I mean pretty recent versions... I had to resort to Opera to be able to access the web mail at work from home.
Not that I use IE for anything else so I can't tell...

Don't forget Wikipedia.
I feel bad for those goats.

Look at the Asus routers and access points, they usually make decent stuff at a reasonable price.
And the countermeasure is - block access to Russian Porn?

And interestingly enough - setting IE11 to compatibility mode doesn't resolve the issues I have seen.
