You're not supposed to leave your car AT THE PUMP while you go eat. You get your gas and then park at one of the normal parking spaces in front of the store before you go in for lunch.
that means that the stolen property had been recovered by the police but the legal owner (NASA) never bothered to come and pick it up.
Was NASA the legal owner still? The summary says they gave the bag away and it ended up in the Cosmosphere museum's collection. The bag was stolen form the museum, not NASA.
The marshals knew were the goods were stolen from -- the Cosmosphere space museum in Hutchinson, Kansas. Shouldn't they have returned them to the museum instead of selling them for their own profit?
When you buy a business, you acquire both its assets and its liabilities, you don't get to pick and choose. If you don't like it, don't buy it.
I can't imagine why they'd still go through with it now.
Businesses don't have to be sold in whole. It very popular in New Korporate Amerika to now buy all the assets and key employees that make a business work, but not technically buy the business. Then you leave the liabilities and people you hate behind for bankruptcy and all the company's shareholders get screwed, while the executives take golden lifeboats to their new positions with the purchasing company.
China doesn't have a first amendment, so it's not censorship.
Nice try. Censorship is simply defined as the act by an official of regulating access or editing content that is deemed objectionable or sensitive. Whether content meets these criteria is based only on a judgement call, there is nothing in the definition that says it has to be legally based.
Even if it were, it's being enacted by the comms operators, which some will say makes it not matter since the first amdemnenenent only impacts the government.
Likewise, the "official" is simply the individual who is tasked with carrying out this action, anyone can be in this role, not just government agents. So that would make an employee of the provider just as much an "official". Same with volunteer moderators on any internet message board. If they have the power and are sanctioned to use it for that purpose by the people in charge, they are officials.
Also, big oops on your part: China's telecom companies are state-owned. That technically means all the provider employees are government employees.
People who set up businesses that are very Internet-dependent, but are too stupid/cheap to have an on-staff person with IT skills might try. First they will call their ISP and try and bully them into supporting their corporate network for free.
Article is wrong, rebooting does not fix the issue.
Hi. Internet Tech Support here. It actually does -- at least temporarily. I have first-hand experience with dozens of Windows 10 users over the last few days to back up my statement. What do you have?
I suspect the reloading of the system kernal and drivers that takes place when one does a "Restart" (as opposed to choosing Shutdown and then turning the machine on again) is related. A normal shutdown would by default use Windows's "Fast Startup" feature, but using the Restart command does not.
Why would Verizon care if a company they are buying is horribly insecure?
They don't care. They just want an excuse to make Yahoo lower their price. Verizon's primary reason for the purchase is to "buy" the users. They'll argue the hack is reducing the value of the Yahoo brand name and causing people to leave the service over the poor security.
Programmers who can't take advantage of the sites and tools that make development a global effort are destined to write software customized solely for the Chinese market.
Everyone seems to think they want this so they can blacklist them. Maybe they want this so they can hire the proper people for certain cabinet positions.
Then why did he make a climate change denier the head of the EPA to start with?
Indeed, the government has little abilities to regulate bitcoin exchange in its own. But it has some teeth when bitcoin hits the local economy, either when bitcoins are converted into local currency, or when they are used for domestic financial transactions.
Not all BitCoin exchanges are under Indian government jurisdiction. What's to stop someone from getting rupees from an exchange in China, or Russia, etc?
And you're still trying to apply a geographical identity to something on the Internet.
What makes a BitCoin transaction a "domestic financial transaction"? The nationality of the people? Whether the goods/services were rendered on Indian soil? Where the wallets are located in meatspace? None of these are things that can be easily tracked by the government because, like cash, they aren't really assigned to a specific person in any government ledger. If Bitcoin was so easy to track and maintain an ownership record on, you wouldn't hear these stories about people losing large amounts of Bitcoin when they "accidentally throw out a hard drive". It's like the difference between losing your wallet with your debit card and losing a wallet full of cash. One is just an access method for electronic records of wealth with your name and other identifying information assigned to them. Bitcoin is more like losing the actual bills because the private key is just a string you literally hold.
In both case, regulation can uncover actor's identity and force cooperation with the tax administration. In such a situation, you can still remain anonymous and dodge tax for foreign income that is spend outside of the country, but I guess that is not the biggest concern for the government.
The biggest concern for the Indian government is the huge swath of people who appear to be earning no income on paper, and yet still manage to function and keep food on the table. Those people aren't likely to be messing with virtual currencies.
I get many pre-recorded phone calls that if you try to call the number back its bogus aka not in service.
Would be great if when you phone ring it would say mostly likely spam based on score. or after a call you could report as spam like the junk imessages I get.
The reason they don't it with phone calls is obviously money. Allowing telemarketers to place calls allows phone companies to charge them for the calls. If the calls were not allowed to be connected based on a "spam score" the phone company could not charge for the call.
Calendaring invites costs Apple money in resources to manage them. So reducing spammy users helps them.
from outside your org invites are just an email with an ics file attached, so you have all your standard mail filtering already in place the problem here is that these are coming from other icloud users, so all that inbound spam filtering isn't being called for these invites
You can change iCloud's calendaring setting very easily from the website so invites comes in as emails -- just like the Outlook setup you mentioning. It's just not set that way by default.
If government is cracking on tax dodging, then how can they consider bitcoin as safe?
Because Bitcoin isn't a form of currency (or commodity, if your see it as such) that the government has any direct control over. It's not looked as a "real money" enough to be tracked that way.
In order to be used, money will have to be converted back into rupees, and this conversion business can be regulated. Government can monitor it for tax dodge, or even tax it on its own.
I'm not too familiar with the Bitcoin exchange system, but I think you're overestimating the Indian government's abilities here. BitCoins can come from all sorts of places besides unreported income. People can resell items they already own (and therefore already paid tax on the income to purchase) for BitCoins, they can mine them themselves, etc. The government isn't going to immediately know the reason someone has come into Bitcoins.
I never said this plan was a foolproof way to stop tax evasion. The point is just to make it less convenient for the general populace. The government gave everyone free bank accounts for a reason -- that was for people to use them if they want to save money. Cash is supposed to be a form money takes for actual usage in trade, not a way of storing wealth.
They're trying to find a way to hoard wealth that can't be taken away by the stroke of a pen (like what just happened). The issue is people are working under the table and the government is trying to increase revenue by making it harder to dodge taxes. Keeping money in cash where it can't be traced easily is how they were doing it.
The normal color of Silly Putty in stores is a light tan color, but adding graphene makes it black... and then they named it "G-Putty". I find that most amusing.
You can add them to your contacts list without giving them your location-checking privileges, too. If they are distant relatives you're not close to, why do you feel the need to add them to your cell phone?
Really? That's absurd. Any device they support should be able to handle High Profile. I wonder if they're using CABAC -- it took Apple a little while to start using it.

The desktop environment itself is Cinnamon, and it is available in some other distros as well.
The effective natural way to get it is to go on the sun. This has orders of magnitude more effect than diet.
Kinda hard to get much outdoor time when most people work indoors during the day and employers wont allow the rank-and-file a good work/life balance.
As I said last night
, it's just posturing to get the company for a cheaper price. They'll go through with it either way.
When you buy a business, you acquire both its assets and its liabilities, you don't get to pick and choose. If you don't like it, don't buy it.
