Right. Because one disaster is made better by using the few people that demonstrated that they are some of the worst options for operating a nuclear power plant. Yeah if may make a few people feel better, but in the end you'll have just as bad if not worse disaster plus a bunch of dead radioactive worthless executives to also contend with.
It's similar, but there is one major difference. Race is one of the protected criteria for civil rights. Sexual orientation isn't universally protected yet, particularly when it comes to private employers.
I think it's safe to presume that you, as well as every other internet user, were already under surveillance to some degree even before this story was published.
similar to how Macrovision tryies to fuck up VCRs by throwing off their tracking
Macrovision works by inserting a fake sync pulse into the vertical blanking portion of the signal. The automatic gain control (AGC) of the VCR sees this and tries to adjust for it, but results in screwing up the visible portion of the signal. This can be defeated by going old school and running the signal through an old VCR that doesn't have AGC. As usual, old tech can be used to defeat new tech.
You still have exactly the same number of bitcoins regardless of what the exchange rate is. Therefor, their wallets or funds are still exactly the same. They just might not buy as much as they once did.
I didn't see everyone bitching and moaning when their value skyrocketed with absolutely no good reason, so they can't bitch and moan when they plummet under similar circumstances.
That's fine. I'm a professional developer. I do big projects for pay. If I can use a library that makes my application easier to read, write, modify, and debug, plus does what it's suppose to why NOT use it? The biggest downside is that it's performance can be slower but for a large portion of time, the performance difference isn't THAT great that it's a negative and the advantages outweigh the disadvantage. And if performance is an issue, you can switch to pure javascript without using the library to optimize key sections of code.
Is this REALLY about the NSA surveillance? Or is it about leverage for Congress critters, particularly Republicans, on the Executive branch?
"You want your PATRIOT Act renewed? You need to cut back on your surveillance. And my surveillance, we mean repeal Obamacare (or whatever the bill(s) du jour are)."
Besides, whether or not the NSA surveillance is authorized, do you think the NSA gives a fuck. They are going to do it anyways. They'll just have to be sneakier.
Oh, and ignoring all the above: why should I have to update the firmware or software on my ebook reader? It's an appliance. I don't expect to update the firmware on my TV, microwave or rice cooker. Why should I? It works now.
Nothing is forcing you to upgrade, since you know what you are doing and can find "alternate" sources. For the millions of ebook readers that don't have a clue what they are doing and think that they must buy their ebooks from Amazon, B&N, or whatever their device is configured to use, they don't know they have a choice when the store informs them that they need to upgrade to be compatible with the updated store. "Want to buy more books? Upgrade your device's software. It's free and easy!"
Legal definition of uttering is to publish, offer, or put into circulation. So saying "counterfeit money" isn't legal, but presenting a counterfeit note is. That presentation is the uttering.
Maybe they were. As the Target security breach demonstrated, if you can intercept the information prior to it being hashed/encrypted, it's still usable.
For an example, say a website's authentication process code is compromised. It works exactly the same as it always has been, but prior to hashing the supplied password to compare to the saved salted & hashed value (exactly the way it should be), an extra function call is made that saves the username and password to some data store (text file, remote database, emailed, whatever). While the website is still at fault as their code was compromised, it wasn't that the password database wasn't properly protected. They just used a different vector to get the information.
Or, and probably much more likely, it was what you say. It was some crappy security on a website that saves that information in plain text...probably even in world accessible text file.
How soon do you need the "cold stored" data when you do need it? Random accessing one bit of information on a 1-1/2TB tape sucks. A stack of 1 BDXL discs holds the same amount of uncompressed data in less space, has almost instant access (relative to a tape drive) once the disc is loaded in a drive, and multiple discs could be loaded in multiple drives to increase simultaneous accessibility.
I have no idea if there were any 2D printers there. I'd be surprise if someone didn't have something there. But the point still remains that you can be a producer as well as a consumer simultaneously.
With Thingverse and similar sites, there are already tons of items to print, or starting points to tweak to suit your needs. Or 3d scanners. Or if you can't find what you're looking for, SketchUp isn't THAT hard to learn to start using. Yes there is a learning curve. But there's a learning curve to any software used to create quality 2D printouts beyond basic word processing type stuff.
despite a high demand in the market and jobs that start with $60,000 salaries.In Kentucky? Starting software developer fresh out of college? $60k? Uh huh. Sure.
As far as I am concerned a library should foster a love of reading and imagination.
So in other words something that is trivially accomplished online anymore. And far cheaper as you don't have to heat the place, replace the roof, pay people to restock the books, etc.
I'm not saying that a library isn't needed. My city has a great library, one of the best genealogy department in the nation. Many other areas are great as well. And if you're looking for very obscure or specific information maybe an old book is the best place to find it. But for a child's standpoint, none of those things matter to "foster a love of reading an imagination." A source of reading material that captures their attention is all that's needed.
My library recently has started undergoing chances to bring technology into it's main location as well as branches. They just removed a computer lab (well, move the computers elsewhere) to make room for a maker space. 3D printers, 3d and 2D scanners, vinyl cutting, CAD, electronics, even sewing... For more than a few year's they've also partnered with an organization with similar goals and interests, often more technical and industrial. I printed many of my own 3D printer parts on one of their MakerBots and more than a few kids looked at and were interested in the nicknacks that others have printed for display. My own kids have shown some interested in the maker space as well and they are at the tail end of elementary school and early middle school.
Betteridge's Law of Headlines says that if a headline ends with a question mark, it can be answered "no." Does this apply to questions asked in summaries too?
In this case, I'm going to guess yes, the answer is no.
So we want corporations to not be people for the sake of political contributions and such. But then we want corporations to be people when they infringe on copyrights? Corporations don't infringe on copyrights. The people that work and run the corporations infringe on the copyright.
How about we not assign any type of personhood to corporations and rather blame the people that should be blamed, the people responsible for making the decision and/or approving the decision.

All the really cool kids read it when posted by NASA.
They haven't asked for phone numbers (or anything else really) for ages. At least at all the stores around here.
When I enter the store and they ask me "Can I help you find anything?" I reply "Not likely."

No. If it's indeed a proof the probability of errors must be 0, not just close to it.

Good lord. If Beta is this bad, do you have any idea what a steaming pile of shit Alpha is?

Bug fixes aren't defects, they are new product enhancements. Yeah, that's it.

Screw that. It's 10 degrees currently and we're suppose to get 6-8" of snow . I'm not walking/biking in that.
Maybe that works for you when you shut down the city/town when there's a flurry in the air. That doesn't work here.

So a traditional 2D printer manufacturer shouldn't go to CES either then? I mean, people who would use such a thing would be producing, not consuming.
And besides, a 2D printer requires that you know how to design that print out too.
Damnit. That was suppose to read:
