Certain sites get immunity from hacking just because. They are privy to an unspoken rule where they get left alone because messing with them is like shitting in your own bed.
Thats what you did, you just shit in your own bed, and while I realize they have a section for that, its still not cool.
This is about as uncool as when rootshell was hacked. Again, shitting in your own bed.
Sure, when you say that you really mean in comparison to an extremely small group of countries that have better internet thanks to geographical differences and competition.
Kenya, for example, has shitty internet. The US has great internet compared to it, but compared to Japan, not so much.
See what I did there? When you stop artificially selecting your comparison to proof your point, your comparison starts to look retarded and to be a flat out lie, doesn't it?
You are looking at a picture that has been intentionally manipulated to make the situation appear far worse than it actually is.
Thats how that article STARTS... at that point, it doesn't matter what it says or how true it is, its a meaningless article because they're manipulating the truth before the first word is read.
Or you know, its totally fair to use color photos to represent the good and black and white to show the bad . . . thats not biased or unfair or anything.
Yes, its degraded to a horrible polluted mess, but the picture and following article are bogus from the start due to intentional emotional manipulation.
I don't either, but I have successfully predicted 4 different couples were going to have 'autistic' children before they had even conceived the child based simply on their behavior. Its actually fairly easy to spot, the parents are nut jobs who do everything over the top in some way or another. The parents react as if they are meeting the definition of autistic, why would the children be any different? Its not genetic, its environmental in these cases.
At this point I'm 4 out of 5, and the 5th hasn't been born yet.
You know why there are so many autistic children all of the sudden? Because they changed the way its classified to be utterly fucking stupid and in reality its the shitty parents that create the situation rather than the kids actually having a problem.
YES, there are children with real social issues, but thats a small percentage of the ones diagnosed as such.
Just because someone gets a diagnoses... doesn't make it right.
And the GP you're replying to has a perfectly valid point, even if you just don't like it cause it hits too close to home. Perhaps you should stop trying to absolve yourself of all responsibility for your actions and stop trying to blame your creation on a non-existent medical condition, em?
That is because unit tests are useless and so is most QA/QC.
In your first sentence you demonstrate your total and complete ignorance of the subject matter at hand.
Let me guess, you think Agile development improves quality too.
No, it improves the productivity of shitty prima donna developers who think they can spend 8 years writing 4 lines of code to get it just right. It allows middle managers to reel in asshole developers who think their shit doesn't stink while actually producing nothing of use to the business.
Its a really shitty development pattern for a good developer, but 99.99999% of developers are shitty and Agile is far better than free roam for them. Your average run of the mill developer in most software shops is actually less useful and efficient than most janitors.
For every Linus there are 7 billion people who aren't.
By the time you have defined all your "unit tests" we have already built the entire system and have it running in the real world.
Of course mine will work and do what its supposed to do, yours will be buggy, not meet the design requirements, not function as expected in random ways.
You are the definition of ignorant on this matter. You really should just keep your opinion to yourself because the only people who are going to agree with you are going to be the same people in the unemployment line with you.
Software development is an engineering practice when done right, which you clearly have no fucking clue how real engineers work. Fortunately people like you will never be allowed to do anything that actually matters like build bridges or buildings, and your ignorance and arrogance will prevent you from even understanding why you'll never be able to do it.
So congratulations there snarky... you've shown us you're nothing more than a completely ignorant, smug asshole who has no fucking clue when to shut his stupid mouth:)
Are there available commercial civilian drones that can be operated by 1-2 people able to actually do the job of a crop duster?
Yes. Not in America, but outside of America, most definitely. Have been for a few years. This is in fact the PERFECT job for this type of equipment currently.
Of course, they aren't doing it with a DJI Phantom like you seem to think is how it works. There are, contrary to your silly viewpoint, things in-between war machine and toy.
Delivering packages is a stupid idea and will remain a stupid idea due to the basic physics of the universe. But spraying a field, not so much. And you can do it with one man, from a central location.
Okay, I'll bite. My girlfriend and I use Echo several times a day, every day. Whether it's to ask the forecast for that day or the next
You do this multiple times a day? You have a problem.
to set a timer for tea, to turn the lights on/off when we walk into the kitchen (where our Echo lives)
cause switches you walk by are hard...
or for the latest news brief from NPR and BBC (though you can set different ones)
Because this is easier and faster than reading it...
Your excuses for using it are clearly excuses. You won't be using the thing in the very near future. Its a gimmick and you're just trying to justify your purchase of the gimmick.
Apple sells to people who are the customers and buy products.
Google sells people to its customers as products.
Apple makes copious amounts of money by providing products people actually want.
Google makes money selling adds that people don't want and spying on people via the virus known as Android and its absolutely shitty permissions system that requires you to essentially let google (or any other app) do anything it wants with your device because of stupid permissions and the lack of being able to run an app WITHOUT granting it permissions.
Apple is currently at the top of the food chain. Google is a bottom feeder.
... Chirp is a pretty generic name used by hundreds of different products.
Unless you happen to know someone that makes a voice activated speaker that spies on you and sends it all back to Google, then there isn't really anything to sue for.
I promise you I used the name 'Chirp' for sonar software before the HAM project was a glimmer in someones eyes, so if you want a law suit, I'll sue them for a start. I have proof via multiple public web archives and revision control systems such as google code. Sound like a plan?
What? Sleeper hit? I don't know anyone that owns one outside of my office, the one we have in the office is for testing and it sucks. I hear them talking to it all the time and continually repeating themselves trying to get it to figure out what they actually mean.
Voice 'activation' or 'recognition' SUCKS currently. These types of devices ride a VERY SHORT hype train just like Siri did, and then no one at all cares. I suspect that the general public doesn't give a flying fucking about any voice recognition anymore.
Now tell me... WHY DO I NEED a voice controlled speaker to integrate with my thermostat and fire alarm... two things that I NEVER touch. You set the temp and you leave it, it heats or cools the house as needed, if you have a good thermostat (note, the Nest devices are actually pretty shitty as far as 'smart devices' go.) it has sensors in each room that detects occupancy and temp and adjusts the temp based on the rooms people are in.
No one cares about voice recognition in its current, almost absolutely useless state. Its nothing more than a broken toy. The only people who are telling you Amazon has a 'hit' is Amazon.
Stop slashvertising and get a cluepon. Echo isn't impressive, if you can find anyone with one of these 'sleeper hits' for more than a week, ask them how much they use it... and then I dare you to find me the person who doesn't regret wasting the money after the first month is over.
Because thats a scenario that only applies to Tesla's?
I can show you a corvette doing it at about 160, and the driver walking away (in handcuffs after the police arrested him). The car was outrunning the TV helicopter following it, hit a semi and sheered it in half and when it all finally stopped the driver was sitting on his ass on the ground.
Just because entropy works in the right way to allow the person to survive doesn't mean it works that way reliably.
Stop being such an ignorant fanboy and look for other example before you act like Tesla is special
When the NHTSA went to do its rollover safety tests by crushing in the roof of the Model S to simulate how it would hold up in a roll, their crushing machine broke before the Tesla did.
Sigh.
No fanboy, you didn't actually hear that. Thats an entirely fabricated story told by someone who has no understanding of how the tests is done.
I assure you, no Tesla 'broke the machine'.
Say what you will, but I have NEVER seen pictures after a rollover crash like this with the passenger compartment so remarkably intact.
I'm in Cary NC... and these assholes refuse to stop dropping 'The Cary News' in my drive way.
You know what the Cary News is? A front page with some fake BS story on it, and 5-10 pages of ads. They distribute it FOR FREE... because no one wants the fucking thing.
Its awesome that they throw a bunch of dead tree in my drive way... in an area known as 'the silicon valley of the east coast'... where we have so many techies that you can't spit without hitting a geek... and not a fucking one of us use dead trees for our news source.
Nor do any of us give a flying fuck about their shitty spamvertising fake papers ANYWAY.
I've had to call them multiple times to prevent them from littering in my drive way, which they have done for a small period of time and then all of the sudden, I get a bunch of dead tree pulp with no value thrown in my driveway where it can get wet and disintegrate. Its awesome.
Really.
At this point, I've informed the police of their littering and have filed a complaint against the newspaper for littering, as have 3 other houses on my street.
Both support IMAP. So the only people affect are people using microsoft proprietary software which uses microsoft proprietary protocols which microsoft is dropping.
Maybe anyone this affects will think about using standards from here on out . . . yea, thats not going to happen:(
Congratulations, you're an idiot. You voted for the people you were complaining against but you were too stupid to look far enough into it to realize that.
Doing it first, doesn't usually mean you get it right.
Apple makes good ideas with shitty implementations and make them not suck.
Tesla and the others will have the Windows CE implementation until Apple gets theirs in front of the public, and then they'll be an android copy of the apple car that.... works... sorta... but you'll be tracked 100% of the time by malware because no one other than Apple will treat you as the customer, everyone else will treat you as the data mining product.
Do you realize how stupid your journal post sounds? Just curious if you realize that, or if you actually believe yourself?
You're one of those bitches (and I mean that word exactly as the most insulting way it feels to you) that will never be satisfied, regardless of the conditions of the world.
You could rule the world and have everyone agree with your views and you'd still find some 'cause' to argue about.
Just STFU, no one cares about your whining, we're well over it. You aren't furthering a cause, you're just looking like a whining bitch.
Just look at the abject terror a week ago when Apple's earnings weren't increasing
WHAT TERROR?
Other than an investor selling stock (which he's already started rebutting) what terror are you referring to? No one got laid off, no one is even afraid of being laid off, just some loud mouth blowhards who don't know what they are talking about or have an agenda are saying 'omg apple is falling'.
Just for reference, Apple has been on its last leg almost as long as I've been alive.
At one point, it almost did die, but today? You have to be absolutely fucking retarded to make some statement like that. They can buy several COUNTRIES in Europe with JUST THE CASH ON HAND. OH MY FUCKING GOD I HOPE I SURVIVE APPLES CRASH!%!@%!#%
You must be, because if you're more than 4 years old and reading slashdot then you're certainly old enough to know that both image and cookie exploits have happened in pretty much every browser there is.
So yes, a beacon or cookie CAN harm your computer, unless all the code you run is 100% bug free, and considering you have a functioning browser, you aren't running a secure OS that you've audited 100% of the code and know is bug free. You probably think it is, but thats just shear ignorance on your part.

It has to go somewhere. The question is what happens then?
Your theocratic notion of self-flagellation is outdated already.
Sure is a lot easier on you that way isn't it ... oh wait ... that was exactly his point, way to prove it for him.
I don't either, but I have successfully predicted 4 different couples were going to have 'autistic' children before they had even conceived the child based simply on their behavior. Its actually fairly easy to spot, the parents are nut jobs who do everything over the top in some way or another.
