Arrangement of say 5 elements on a given surface is finite (unless you want to go into args like "these fries 3mm apart instead of 1 and facing 2 o'clock instead of 3").
You can't just ignore positioning details though. Would you say a copyright for a written work only includes just the order of letters without regard to spacing and punctuation? For for a musical work just the sequence of notes and not duration of notes, pauses, and timbre?
The rights to the move are owned by Voltage Pictures. They've been going after downloaders since The Hurt Locker came out and for multiple movies since. It's hardly a "New Business Model".
Plus, even if they get the statutory maximums they are still going to be well short of what the film cost to make and distribute. It had a estimated budget of $10m and box office/VOD receipts of $24k.
And his comment, if you actually read it, explicitly refers to the old system, the one that is being replaced by the new system that has 'two million lines of code'.
Obviously you haven't ever had a redundant RAID cluster fail. I personally always suggest a redundant array of inexpensive redundant RAID disks. Or if you want to be EXTRA cautious, even mirroring that would give an extra layer of protection.
Apparently we have different definitions of what affordable means. At around $100 for a 1x16gb stick of memory, that would be 1/4 what I spent on my last several more than capable computers.
Both Jobs and Gates have have been arrested or at least had arrest warrants issued for driving infractions. Jobs also admitted to phone phreaking and drug use. I'd be extremely surprised if Gates also didn't have something in his past more serious than traffic violations. Regardless though, they are criminal although petty offenses.
As far as I can tell, Bill Liu/William Yan/Donghua Liu/whatever other name he might go by has yet to be actually convicted of any crime. So currently he's just as much a criminal as Gates and Jobs were. Kim Dotcom on the other hand has had actual real criminal convictions in Germany for computer fraud and data espionage.
And the 3 that aren't supported any longer are well beyond the 3 year support life cycle that Android has officially announced as of August 5th, 2015. Sorry it wasn't retroactive to ancient devices.
All the devices within the 3 year window (even the one outside the 2 year major update window) have received the latest version of Android officially launched to date.
So what's the excuse why FSM of the modern age that were completely created electronically still cost an arm and a leg, and the electronic version even more? I can get a paper version for my 2005 Rendezvous for $200, or an online version for $20 for 3 days, $150 for 1 month, or $1200 for a year.
I remember back when I had a 1990 Talon. Some kind soul within the community acquired the FSM, trimmed the spin, and hand scanned every page into a PDF. Was the quality perfect? Not even close. Was it more than usable, hell yeah.
Well, your article points out it's the EOL for support for the following Nexus devices: Nexus 4, Nexus 10, and Nexus 7 (2012). The 2012 version of the Nexus 7 was introduced in July 13, 2012. Nexus 4 and 10 were first introduced November 13, 2012. Lollipop 5.1.1 was released April 21, 2015 (or later if you're counting on when factory images and OTA updates might have been available). But in any case, that's 29-33 months of support, not 18.
Also from your article, it points out that they are providing 2 years of major updates, security updates 3 years after the OS is introduced or 18 months after you buy a device from them in the Play Store, whichever is longer. What isn't mentioned is that particular apps and components may receive additional updates that aren't part of the core OS.
I compare all that to Samsung's S4 that both my wife and I have. I've updated my phone to KitKat via a 3rd party rom, but my wife is still stuck on KitKat 4.4 after initially having 4.2. That's all the updates she's ever received.
How long do I get security updates for any of these devices?
Depends on the manufacturer and carrier. Anywhere from never to for several years or more. Google's "Nexus" devices often have the longest official support but unofficial support/updates through the community is available for long after the manufacturers/carriers have forgotten about the device.
I'm a nobody as well. I've had my car broken into because of the brick through side window exploit. I'm searching for a car that doesn't have electronics or windows. Right now I'm left with a Razr scooter and an Amish buggy.
Unless you're trying to control a 12V fan with logic level PWM signal. Or you want more that just a half-assed attempt at being able to accurately control the fan across all usages and speeds.
I'm guessing the engineers at Intel would have loved to hear your insight before they came up a spec for 4-wire fans.
A tank, that is also an artillery piece, that is also a troop carrier, that is also a scout, that is also... its going to be shitty at everything and very expensive.
Because it's not a little AV-on-AV competition. Competition is when companies push each other to try to improve their product over the others, not purposefully throwing more hurdles in the way of the competitor.
If they did what was accused, they maliciously submitted false information that would be shared around the industry because they knew the competition would detect it as an infected file. It didn't improve Kaspersky's accuracy, nor did it help the accuracy of anyone else's scanner detecting real threats. It only resulted in competitors looking bad for false positives, and having to spend additional efforts filtering samples.
It's akin to a Raspberry Pi. It has a processor, memory, and storage. It also has composite out and USB on board the main board. If you want VGA or HDMI output, you have to spring extra for the extra shield(s).
What they should have said was it's a low end tablet without the touch screen/display.
It doesn't seem right to force workers to have their privacy invaded at such intimate levels in order to qualify for a benefit.
When you sign up for most life insurance plans, you often need to take a physical and/or a swab for tobacco use. Don't want to have your privacy invaded, don't get insurance.
The incentive to have your exercise tracked is just that, an incentive. It's not required and purely optional. You don't get charged extra for your policy or coverage changed if you don't participate. So you still get your full benefits.
Why involve Sweden at all when the UK MI6 likely would just hand him over to the US without any fuss at all and no extradition hearing.
Why not just execute him via a sniper when he walks past a window? Extraditing him without any type of due process has always been possible, but it would be a political shit storm for everyone involved.
If the US wanted to extradite him anyways, why work through Sweden which isn't a strong ally instead of the UK...

A coworker was notified of reaching some milestone for number of steps taken by her fitness tracker. It baffled her because she was at a family get together and definitely didn't take that many steps. Then she remembered she spent most of the time in a rocking chair that apparently counted the rocking as steps.
About 33 percent of the number of people killed by guns in the US - depending on your metrics. Don't see too many people giving a shit about that number.
Respectfully, 10,000 people a year is a barely a blip on the radar when dealing with causes of death.
The other 2/3 are gun-related suicides. I don't think a valid statistical conclusion can be drawn including the suicide numbers.
Those numbers are the number of deaths, not the number of injuries too. I'd imagine the number of injuries greatly increases the numbers making things more than a blip on the radar. According to the CDC, $59 billion is the annual cost of alcohol-related accidents. Also more than just a blip on the radar.
From the wording of the article, I would imagine Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) would be the party that is responsible for curating/publishing the list of hashes. Here in the states, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, FBI, and Justice Department maintain a similar database.

Don't forget the cost savings too! No more need for ssl certs, developing secure infrastructure, DRM...

Microsoft and Apple were both ran at one time by criminals. Yet billions of individuals continue to do business with those companies.

I believe there was a documentry on that very idea.

Easy solution: Don't participate in the fucking wellness program. Problem solved.
How dare they use the tax code against the people that wrote and control it!
