Seriously, for Chinese being Chinese means more than being American citizen. And that is so for many other ethnic groups. Russian will stay Russian, Japanese will stay Japanese. American passport is nice to have.
For most people their family means more than their country. And for some ethnic groups Fatherland (or Motherland, since we mentioned Russians) could mean more than you think, even generations after relocation. Don't hire Russian to attack Russia. Don't hire Chinese to investigate Chinese state hackers. It's plain stupid.
Indeed, Soviets created many artificial republics that didn't exist before - Ukraine, Latvia, Estonia, Belarus and mentioned Asian republics. They also created Finland, which gave us Nokia and Linux. So I don't think that their "attempts" were laughable at all. All of these countries were carved from Russia on grounds of ethnicity. However, I wouldn't say that it's only Soviet experiment, but rather Russian - they always tried to make ethnic groups within Empire content, same as they do now, and there are over 195 ethnic groups in Russia. They created few languages for those who had no written language (Latvians, for example, had no written language before joining the Empire), and invested into developing of languages that could be otherwise simply replaced by Russian.
Perhaps you miss some education. Pyramids of Egypt are over 4700 years old. At that time Egyptians had developed writing, architecture, agriculture, art of war and it obviously wasn't given by God in one day. The history of China was written since over 3500 years ago, and Mycenaean phase of Greek history started over 3200 years ago. The Stonehenge is over 5000 years old... I hope you know what it is and where it is located, and that people didn't appear there, but came from Africa.
Oh, and have you ever heard about hebrew years? Well, jews think it's year 5776 now.
Watch Windows Phone losing more apps from 1st of October this year. Since many, if not most, developers have abandoned the sinking ship (because, you know, good developers are writing software for money, and there's no money in WM), Microsoft added some policies for app certification to make the market alive. However, not everyone cares about that and failure to re-certify the app till the end of September will un-publish these apps.
And, indeed, there is enough bloatware in Windows Phone too, both Nokia (RIP) and HTC. Well, especially HTC.
How about that - you will buy my antivirus for monitors and it will guarantee that your monitor is free from viruses? From creators of Monitor Antivirus - the ubiquitous Mouse Antivirus! Works with all types of mice - from 20th century Genius to latest Razor.
Do you think $20 would be a reasonable price tag? Also, how about some USB gadgets like USB fans - I am pretty sure hackers will target them very soon, so I should focus on a sophisticated solution that would build up the synergy of security, peace of mind and performance.
From TFA: "Frequent password changes do little to improve security and very possibly make security worse by encouraging the use of passwords that are more susceptible to cracking."
Let's imagine, that my old password was C/6)dLj^,FZ\>|UZ and now I changed it to +X.?450Dx$f^6v6H. How did it make things less secure?
If that's password for my online account, then learning in 2016 that someone in 2015 was selling users database of that online resource is different whether I did change passwords every X days, or not. In latter case my password would still be active and most likely used by script kiddies.
On the other hand, professor needs publicity, too.
Oh, and before we go any further, here is the official reply from Telegram:
"Certain people checked whether some Iranian numbers were registered on Telegram and were able to confirm this for 15 million accounts. As a result, only publicly available data was collected and the accounts themselves were not accessed. Such mass checks are no longer possible since we introduced some limitations into our API this year.
However, since Telegram is based on phone contacts, any party can potentially check whether a phone number is registered in the system. This is also true for any other contact-based messaging app (WhatsApp, Messenger, etc.)."
It's about Telegram, not Instagram. And all 15 million users were from Iran. Hence the problem was in SMS provider in Iran, not just in Telegram. Could be even the government. That is - IF such hack indeed happened. NSA hates Telegram, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's early April fools.
I don't want to break your fairy tale, but thousand years ago Britain wasn't a nation and comparing to some others it definitely wasn't "most prosperous, safe, and culturally advanced".
It doesn't matter "how". Amazon is not going to produce such headphones or even design them. But when Sennheiser or Bose will, then Amazon will demand their share of profit.
No, comrade, it doesn't qualify as "something bad". It improves the transparency of US politics to partners in Eurasia. She must be awarded the next Guinness Book Of Record Peacemaker Award. Or whatever is the name of that organization that awarded Obama.
And sometimes even write music for some. For example, he was a huge fan of DOOM game, so much that he wrote a soundtrack for Quake. Later, he authored The Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Theme.
This reminds me a story of Rolls-Royce engines in India. They couldn't sell them unless "part of it is created in India". So, what they did - they created a useless metal thing and a factory in India was working hard making it. They thought it's important part of the engine. In fact, it was transported to UK, only to be melted back to metal. However, Indians believed it was a joint venture and created work places.
Sorry, but I don't see how is that news or a secret. Just like tinyurl, the ID of the url is supposed to be as short as possible, hence it is sequential.
The funny thing I found a few years ago was with tinyurl. Apparently, the first links were created by their developers, hence links like tinyurl.com/1 and so on (2,3,...a,b,c...1a,1b) belong to owners of the service and tell something about them.
Therefore link shorteners should have password protection for redirection, at least as an option. For example, as it is done in 2l.lv and similar engines. Also, links should have expiration date, like in owncloud service and limited total number of redirection.
No, they are saying, that the most recent version will be supported. If it will be MSIE 13, then 11 and 12 won't be supported anymore. Isn't it the same with, say, Chrome? Just asking.
Ok, but MSIE 11 can't be installed on Windows Server 2012, only on Windows Server 2012 R2. Unlike the Windows 8.1, the R2 wasn't the free upgrade. So, if MSIE 10 won't be supported, can we still say that Microsoft is supporting the Windows Server 2012?

Not really. The key is - (faster than) "English texter hunting and tapping for Mandarin letters".

That's true. Especially taking into account their support of SOPA and PIPA. That alone is a good enough reason to refuse anything from them, ever.

No, just force each NATO member to buy one. Actually, Germany may afford two.

The brand name is still a question - any ideas?
It could probably become a drone with a software update.
Or even a brick, if that's Anniversary Update.

Remember what happened when Microsoft acquired service called "Danger"? It could be worse.

I remember Michael Jackson, in his pre-WASP era, was sleeping in oxygen-filled tent and was hoping to live till around 120 years or more.
There is nothing bad in desire itself, but it's less laughable when you brag about the actual achievement, not the super-optimistic plan.

Oh thank you so much! I'll spread the news to colleagues. I think it's more important than the FA.
