The company insisted the boxes were intended to reduce energy costs, ensuring that empty cubicles weren't overheated or over-air-conditioned
What a load of bullshit. A cubicle by its very nature is a division of a larger room. It has no ceiling to hold heat in or meaningful insulation, and it's certainly not climate controlled on an individual level.
A more believable excuse would be that the device shut down the computer and desk lights when the employee was not in to save energy, but most businesses leave machines on to facilitate after-hours backups/maintenance and with modern high-efficiency lighting, there would be no net cost benefit to controlling lighting with them.
Someone further up pointed out, it was not her car, it was her boss's car. He was a passenger in the car with her and also killed. They both got drunk at the company function, and he gave her the keys. I would suggest someone was trying to play his way into his subordinate's pants.
This raises an interesting question -- would you want a self-destructing phone?
The surveillance-state boosters will phrase that as "this raises an interesting question -- why would you want a self-destructing phone? Owning one would make you automatically suspect.
Yes, but that is not the point of the article. The point is about how things are for sellers.
What PayPal bring you is customers who might not be there otherwise. Many people are worried about their bank/credit account information falling into the wrong hands. The AC's response to you cuts both directions. PayPal gives them a way to pay you that they feel comfortable with. The absence of that option means they may choose to buy from someone else instead.
They already have more than one physical server, so spinning up another one in a different location is trivial for them -- if someone gets such automation right, it's Google.
I would suggest they want to keep all the servers in the U.S. for legal reasons perhaps (I don't what that would be).
As details of this case are not yet know, let's take a look at Google's 8.8.8.8. It is widely advertised as anycasted, and indeed, it is. However, have you noticed that, no matter where you are, all those anycast targets are located in a single country, despite the very purpose of anycast being geographic proximity? You can't suspect Google of technical incompetence, what could the real reason be, then?
That there are only Google DNS servers located in that one country, perhaps? Even if the service is supposed to route based on geography -- it can only go to servers that actually exist. Even if Google has offices in many places, they don't necessarily recreate all their individual services in every office for every market to route to.
I just think a "with" after the verb "threatens" would have made it more clear. Or maybe "Microsoft Threat in Windows 10's Upcoming 'Project Neon' Design Language"
As reported by MacRumors The deleted browser history was listed in a record called literally named "tombstone" that was separate from other iCloud functions.
That doesn't like an accidental defect in design in any sense.
The point is it negates that whole "convince people to use third-party VoIP app" nonsense, which would be a bigger problem than remembering to sign in a portal when you come in the door at a business.
But then don't you have to open a web browser, agree to the terms that the captive portal presents, and convince the party on the other end to install the same VoIP app you're using...
Standing up for human rights worldwide does not diminish our ability to deal with our own problems.
Yes it does. People will only expend a certain amount of their time and effort on their jobs -- this goes for our elected representatives, too. Human and monetary resources focusing on improving situations halfway around the world are not available to be focused on domestic issues.
In other words, politicians are going to be ignoring the U.S. while focusing on trade sanctions, diplomatic relations, or military actions to fix problems that frankly are none of our business.
Their citizens deserve a voice! America should take a stand here.
This idea that America needs to try and help every country in the world when we have our own problems is what gets people like Trump elected. "America First" isn't just about foreign labor.
Previous stories about this price fixing issue of optical drives has also mentioned drives in optical disc players. So if you bought a DVD player for your TV, that should also be a claim.
NX-01 - NX class - served 2151 to 2161 NCC-1701 - Constitution class - served 2245 to 2285 NCC-1701-A - Constitution class (refit) - served 2286 to 2293... NCC-1701-D - Galaxy class - served 2363 to 2371 NCC-1701-D alternate timeline - Galaxy class (refit), aka Galaxy-X, aka Galaxy-dreadnought - served ? to ~2395
Aren't the NX-class prototype/experimental designs? Kinda interesting they would use a ship like that for 10 years, yet the NCC-1701-D was only in service for eight years -- or was that because of it being destroyed in that one TNG movie? Also the original service design (NCC-1701) was in service for 30 years, but then gets only another five years after a major refit.

Just like when I use it in Thunderbird.
No, I think it's more like bread myself.

Yeah, I bet Texas loves cars that don't run on petroleum. /snort

What did Microsoft threaten the design language with?
'A fool and his money are soon parted"?

Yeah, Wi-fi Calling... have your heard of it?
Hate to burst your bubble, but performant is in the dictionary.
From The Fucking Dictionary:
Performant
Adjective:
1. Capable of or characterized by an adequate or excellent level of performance or efficiency.
"Our software is more performant than our competitor's."
That is a very well-formatted dictionary entry.
Now, post the actual link to the actual source.
It is in the dictionary
http://www.dictionary.com/brow...
It is to performer as informant is to informer.
The use of the word here is as an adjective.
Your definition is of a noun.
I like articles that use real words (ones in the dictionary). Acronyms for technical terms is one thing, and brand names as well, but this is neither.

. . .may have a new product line in the offing: Note7 Incendiary Grenades.
Too late, someone has already thought of that.
If this process change reduces nuisance requests so much the better.
Yeah. Damn those annoying citizens wanting information about how they are governed!

Brain fart there. Seven years, not five. Still doesn't seem like much bang for the buck.
These are the ones from the TV show and movies.
