Don't count me in until we reach double digits. I want to be able to download all of wikipedia in under 1 second, and the data cap would kick in around 1.3ms.
Or is this yet another "The Russians did it" story that is suppose to make me think Russians are rigging every election. Because I'm sorry; I've run websites that have had no political or strategic importance that were attacked daily by traceable Russian and Chinese sources. Looking at all the logs from these attacks (and e-mails) it is clear the intent was to control as many machines as possible, not to break into a specific system. Even sites that did have strategic importance showed the same shotgun hacking approach to try and breach some security vulnerability for which a patch was released just a few weeks prior.
At this point it would be more suspicious to look at the logs/traffic of any site and not see these kinds of attacks going on. That would tell me they already have a foot in the door, or the company is owned/controlled by them already.
the hacks targeted 104 employee accounts in Belgium, France, Germany, Poland, Romania, and Serbia. Hackers in most cases create malicious weblinks and spoofed email addresses that look legitimate, aiming to gain access to employee credentials and deliver malware, the company said.
Phishing right?
Not hacking. Maybe if it was Targeted Phishing, but the article doesn't mention that. It just says they create malicious weblinks, and spoofed email addresses to get employee credentials and install malware. They don't say where the weblinks were, but I'm guessing people got emails with embedded links that users followed.
Sorry, but I get at least 4 of these e-mails a day which get caught by the spam filter. I would recommend they get a better spam filter. I would also recommend a round of user training, ie never follow a link in an email, even if it looks legit.
Exactly, the US Mint wanted to make the jump to online sales and spur on coin collecting by offering free shipping and taking credit cards. It might also have something to do with people didn't like the new $1 coin. Banks were giving them out for people to open new accounts because collectors weren't requesting them and they had huge stocks of them in the vault. The company I worked for actually paid all employees with $10 of these coins that they "agreed" to take from the bank (turns out the bank sold them to my company at $0.90 per coin so the could make room in the vault.)
Just because the airline put in a "hidden city" disclaimer doesn't make it legal. Companies sneak terms and conditions in contracts all the time that are not enforceable, they just hope the client doesn't call them on it.
Just run a few adds quickly explaining that other vendors have branded their old networks 5G E, but Sprint is putting up true 5G technology which includes better x and y. Show a few simple graphs of someone browsing websites on the 5G E network vs their true 5G network. Follow up with 5G E is just the old 4LTE network given a new name. Maybe something like an old time miner polishing up a piece of junk and trying to pass it off as the latest thing.
Actually I find it funny the AT&T commercials that paint others as just OK, leaving the viewer to fill in that they are the best. Of course having dealing with them I know better; DirectTv bill messed up for 6 months, services shut off because changing systems, canceling DSL only to be charged for the next 4 months because the bills are prepared by a different department then billing. When ever one of those commercials come up I keep thinking, yeah, but at least OK is better than the worst.
Did they test Bruce Banner, he's always angry? Hulk Smash!
Also does it detect passive aggressive anger? What if I yell "I LOVE YOU" at a pet, vs I whisper "I'm going to put you in the microwave and set it on high for 4 minutes, ohh yes I am, such a bad doggie you are"? What is the algorithm keying on; volume, facial expressions, changes in skin tone, words spoken? And all they did was get close to what a human could do. Come on, I thought computers were faster. Get it down to 0.000001s and I'll be impressed.
So that means no images with someone who's used Botox, no images of someone drunk, no images of someone smoking, no images of someone with a cast on, no images of any kind of piercings, I could go on.
When you throw out a generic term like "self harm" your going to exclude a lot more stuff than you ever intended. For example, I might classify a tattoo as self harm, some might not. Pretty soon all we end up with is cute cat pictures playing with yarn because, awwwwe.
Stop trying to bubble wrap the world. My bigger concern would have been that my child was seeking out self harm images in the first place.
Google melting ice in a microwave. The experiments show that the ice doesn't actually melt that fast, if at all. The reason all of them point to is that the microwave causes the water molecules to vibrate which then causes friction that heats up the material. But ice is a solid so the molecules don't vibrate. The melting you do see is most likely due to being exposed to the open air and picking up residual heat from the environment.
Not at all what I expected, but it makes sense if you think about it. Either way I'm going to test it myself tonight when I get home.
Wow, didn't even realize this was in the works. Well, now I'm a happy camper for the day. Hopefully its just as campy as the first (without the long drawn out middle act).
If you have a local college or university with an electronics department, try hitting them up. They order in bulk to sell to students, but if you ask nicely they will sell to the public as well. If they refuse, find a student to proxy purchase what you need.
Mouser also has decent prices, fast shipping, and you can order individual pieces instead always ordering in bulk. The problem I have with them is the shipping usually costs as much or more than the parts, so you have to order quite a bit to make it worth it. I'm still not sure why they can't grab a few dozen resisters and capacitors and use a standard first class letter for $0.55, instead of a mailer envelope for $8.00+ shipping.
I remember reading the local free news paper a few years ago. In it there was an article by a local reporter just starting out. The reporter had been given some expensive tickets by their parents to a BBQ put on by a local politician for fund raising. Obviously the reporter hated the politician with red hot anger, as the rest of the article went on to describe how they choose to boycott the whole ugly affair. But then they spent their time tracking the politician on facebook finding photos of the event. They then proceeded to rip everyone in the photos as the cause for all the cities troubles and for supporting the candidate. The final point of the author was that the politician was trash and that not going was the best decision they every made, they also threw in that the politician should be removed from office for all the types of people who attended.
Now my take away from the article was; what an idiot they were! Your parents already paid for the tickets, so the politician got the money anyway. You not attending didn't harm them in anyway. You stood in your corner yelling how awful they were and anyone associated to them must be as well. Instead why didn't you use that opportunity to confront the political at an event they couldn't just walk away from? Or how about you call them out in front of their friends and let them explain themselves? Or possible why not have a decent conversation and try to understand their motivations and reason, maybe talk some sense into them.
Whenever looking at politics I keep thinking back to this story. Politics is now just a game of "us" preventing "them" from doing bad things. Lets not sit down and try to understand each others views and come to some common ground. Nope, now we spent huge amounts of time looking for a way to shame or dismiss "them".
And yes I purposely was vague and left out details such as gender, race, and party affiliations; because it really doesn't matter.
But the dongle worked like gang busters! No way anybody could defeat that.
Well unless you did what my school did, install a printer switch box but backwards so that you switched it to your computer and then fired up the software.
Rendering Speed? Are we talking video or full on 3D rendering? If were talking video, chips that can pump out 4K video at 30fps or better are a dime a dozen. I bought a cheap $50 roku over christmas that streams content from my media box in 4K to the tv in the kids play room. If your talking 3D rendering then they would be so far behind the curve that they would have to pump probably a billion or so at it just to play catch up. Assuming they do produce something good, then what, its just another video card that has special Adobe rendering.
If they wanted a special decoding of Adobe content, they should work with existing chip designers and push for their own decoders be built into products. Of course I'm assuming they already did that and got laughed at or someone gave them a billion dollar quote to get started.

A lot of it seems to be blowing in from the DC area lately.

that discounts the probability that the costs have gone down because we started spending money on them.
Then please explain the price of the latest iPhone?
