In case you have not noticed, the cheapest of the EV Certs is $1000 a Year
Digicert has them for $224 for 1 year, or $165/year if you buy a 3 year cert. If you're serious about distributing a kernel mode driver, $165 shouldn't be too big of a hurdle to overcome even for a non-commercial organization.
what stops me from making a big purchase and then claiming that it was fraudulent.
The bank contacts the merchant to provide verification of the purchase. Is there a signature? Was the item shipped/delivered/what was the address? Was verification information provided (address/zip/phone/"Verified by Visa/etc).
If they can provide that, then it may just be written off, or the bank doesn't reverse the charges if they think it's fraud. Or the charge gets reversed and the merchant is left without the product and without the money.
If the card holder is living below the poverty line, they likely have a low credit card limit and/or very high fees. Fraudulent activity is limited by the card limit, and it's paid for by the high fees by the honest card holders.
On the other hand, if I make a purchase on the internet, then I provide to the merchant all information required to pull money from my account. What stops him to do that again and again? Or selling that info? Just that I can notice an unauthorized withdrawal and ask the CC company to cancel that? That sounds stupid.
Technically nothing other than the vetting process of the merchant account provider. But if you started running fraudulent bank transactions by the time that you started getting funds into your account they likely would be detected, and accounts/funds locked.
If you're going to set the record straight, shouldn't it be that the lack of histamine is responsible for drowsiness? Antihistamines typically make you drowsy.
The actual license paperwork that was attached as Exhibit B to the court filing may not have actually put it in the public domain. Parts are similar, but there also were restrictions (single-use, attribution requirements) that in my IANAL opinion prevent it from actually being in the public domain.
It's going to depend on interpretation of Exhibit B that is mentioned in the original complaint. I'd think that it would trump the LoC webpage if the LoC can't produce a superseding agreement regarding the copyrights. It does say that the Highsmith "dedicate to the public all rights, including copyrights throughout the world". I'm not sure if "dedicate" legally means the same as putting it in the public domain or otherwise relinquishing the copyrights. It also includes restrictions for single-copy reproductions and reproduction credit be given back to Highsmith.
His last name is spelled Pai. And no. Well, he did object once when he was still a Verizon lawyer but that was for a motion by an opposing telecom council so I'm not sure if that counts.
That source also says that it sells 900m a year. If it debuted in 1967, that was 49 years ago. 900m*49 = 44.1b. I think it's much more likely that 400b was a typo and supposed to be 40b. 400b would be about 259 Big Macs sold every second of every day for 49 years.
iPhone is a series of models of cell phone. A knife isn't a brand. Maybe if you said a Victorinox Swiss Army Knife but I doubt they've sold a billion.
Even in the tech world, I can think of other things that have sold more than a billion. Windows licenses would easily be one of them. Intel processors routinely sell over 100m in a quarter.
I can't imagine that McDonalds has sold more Big Macs then it has sold regular hamburgers/cheeseburgers. In 2013 it was predicted McDonalds would be serving their 300 billionth burger (of any type).
And if you watched the Mythbusters episode where they tried to crush a railcar with a vacuum, you'd see that it was actually pretty difficult for a normal rail car and required them to drop a large block of concrete on the "thin metal shell" to dent it enough to collapse it.
So all that your video demonstrated was a vessel designed for atmospheric (or higher) pressure isn't suitable for a hard vacuum. Shocking. I guess Hyperloop won't be able to build their track out of old discarded damaged railcar tankers.
So you're going to keep a local copy on your work computer, and your home desktop, and your cell phone, and your tablet, and your friend's computer, and your...
Another article makes it sound like it was an actual Monte Carlo method:
But David Ludder, a Tallahassee attorney who represents the Florida Clean Water Network, said DEPâ(TM)s process for determining standards â" the so-called Monte Carlo or probabilistic method â" yields weaker limits than a competing method used by the other states and the federal government.
The more commonly employed deterministic method uses absolute values for factors including body weight and fish and water consumption. The department is using a distribution of values that include numbers not as protective as those used in the deterministic method, he said.
Whether the actual method used was valid or not I have no idea. But I think calling it a "nick name" and possibly "one of a kind scientific method" might not have been the most correct journalism.
Would it really be incorrect to assume that keeping a local text file with your passwords is quite a bit more secure than anything in the Cloud?
How do you access your locally kept text file when you're not on your local desktop? That's the advantage that a cloud-kept password gets you. Of course it comes with the disadvantage that it may be more vulnerable, so some might say that the disadvantage isn't worth the advantage.
This is why I LOVE all my Nexus devices. Guaranteed minimum 2 years of Android version updates (major OS versions) along with a minimum of 3 years or 18 months after Google stops selling it for security updates.
Movies may be shot at 8K, but they'll likely be cropped and edited and downsampled to 4K.
Hmm. Edited in 8K and then downsampled. Interesting. So what you're saying is that...there would be a need for a 8K video card then?
8K for the end user? Useless...
I think I'll add your quote to my prophetic computer quotes database: "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers." - Thomas Watson, president of IBM, 1943 "There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home." - Ken Olsen, founder of Digital Equipment Corporation, 1977 "640K ought to be enough for anybody." - Bill Gates, Microsoft, 1981 "8K for the end user? Useless..." - Blaskowicz, random Slashdot user, 2016
You might want to tell the movies that were scanned to 8k from film (search for 8K) that they don't exist, as well as this mainstream movie that's being filmed in 8K. Or this company that the videos they record on their cameras don't exist. Hell, Youtube has an 8K video already.
8K video availability is very limited, but not no-existant. 8K displays have been shown at CES since 2012. 8K broadcasts were tested during the 2012 Olympics. But even without commonly available video for mortals, 8K video isn't the only thing that you can display with a video card that can display 8K. You can drive four 4K displays, which is an amazing coincidence that these cards have 4 ports for output!
I'm not sure that I follow. Are you saying that something that can do 4K can do 8K equally as well? Or that something that can do 8K would struggle doing 4K. In what way is marketing trying to be deceiving here?
Why can't I have issue with both things? That Netflix selection of movies is crap AND cable companies want me to pay 5x as much a similar selection of crap.
Netflix is the first media company with the business model of "Give the customers exactly what they want."
If by what they want you mean B-movies (and lower) that you've never heard of sprinkled with a few mainstream movies. The TV show collection as well as original content series continues to get better, but their movie list is just awful any more.
I know it's mostly not Netflix fault their movie selection is crap. But honestly I'd probably pay twice as much if I had a real selection of movies where I had a reasonably good chance that the movie I wanted to see was included.
I didn't sign it. I was a lowly developer and have a right to earn a living, so the non-compete was very likely not enforceable and I wasn't going to sign it. I pointed that out and my boss/owner of the company and he flew off the handle. He said it hurt a lot that I didn't trust the company and that they would never use it to prevent me from working. I said it hurt just as much that they wouldn't trust me to go "work for the competition" and if they did indeed trust me, there was no for the non-compete in the first place.
After that, the whole thing was dropped. It turned out they just used a non-compete form letter they found on some small business website that claimed that all small businesses must have one or else doom! They never even talked to a lawyer and once they did, basically learned what I told them already.
If you worked for a agency (development, advertising, marketing, etc), any non-compete clause could essentially be anti-moonlighting clause.
I use to work for a development company that would take on pretty much any type of work. The non-compete they wanted me to sign said I couldn't work for any company that could be a competitor of the business. That meant other development agencies, but also even companies that possibly would want my employer's service some day. I declined signing that agreement.
Pricing and real-world signal strength was more favorable than T-mobile last time I checked.
Signal strength is going to be very subjective based on local coverage. I've been places where I had great signal and friends with AT&T had none, and vice versa.
I'm with T-mobile with a 4-line family plan and Straight Talk isn't even close in price. TMo has been running ads for 4 lines with 6GB each for $120 (plus taxes). 4 lines with just 100MB of data each would run $120 with ST.

It has some. I wouldn't say it's full. Of the IMDB top 250 movies, at least as of March Netflix had 26 of them. Just over 10%.
You might want to tell the movies that were scanned to 8k from film (search for 8K) that they don't exist, as well as this mainstream movie that's being filmed in 8K. Or this company that the videos they record on their cameras don't exist. Hell, Youtube has an 8K video already.
