To be fair I haven't read the article and don't know the details of the exploit, but if the TV can be connected to remotely I wager it has some sort of 'Wake on activity' function as well.
North Korea has a running trend of wild claims. This one just reinforces their place as "the nation no one believes".
The big problem is that one day, they ARE going to discover something by sheer coincidence, and no one will believe them enough to even try to replicate the result.
In a moment of seriousness, he was fired BECAUSE Apple Maps are providing faulty and at times outright insane directions. He was the guy in charge of making Apple Maps, as the summary says.
So the joke is that he used his iPhone to navigate home to Middelfart from Antarctica, and obviously was told the distance was short enough that he could just walk.
Lock him up for life, no chance of parole, and have every last guard in the jail be Jewish. Not for them to take revenge, but simply so that every moment of his life behind bars would be at the whim of those he sought to wipe out. Poetic justice is the best kind.
It is simply an image of how the line of thought for police officers has become, "Oh hey, I am the law!"
Power drunk for talking on a cell phone while driving, no. Doesn't change the fact that it shows a blatant disregard for the very same rules he'd pull someone else over for violating.
They will blame Obama and come up with a way of combining 'Obama' and 'Science'. See, if only Obama had been a proper US-born Christian he would have believed in God and left well enough alone instead of allowing things like Science and Research to create the cyborgs.
As long as smoking does not impair your ability to perform your job in any way that a non-smoker is not subject to (taking occasional breaks to clear your head etc.) what right do employers have to discriminate against the smoker? Do you think it's fine for employers to discriminate against hiring muslims who need their five breaks a day to pray towards Mecca?
Perhaps you meant an 8 hour stretch of time while awake, in which case you may be more right, but on a cool day where you aren't sweating and possibly not moving about much you can relatively easily get those eight hours between two toilet visits.
If they can't fork out for an OS upgrade once a decade, how else will they be like on the consumer side?
Not nearly as consuming and more like using?
Seriously, for most people Windows XP -just works- at this point, which is what is important to the average user. They see no need to upgrade so long as they can browse the net, write letters, send and receive email, play their favorite games, all of which XP does perfectly.
That said I upgraded to Win7 myself just a few months back and I'm never returning to XP. I had no clue how big a difference DirectX11 made over DirectX9 in games - it's like a whole new experience. Of course, without actually SEEING this difference with their own eyes I'm guessing most people will consider it marketing hype if they were told.
Yes, Win7 is an improvement, the same way a... BMW is an improvement over a Volvo, but as long as your Volvo gets you to and from work without ever breaking down in the middle of traffic with an 18 wheeler right behind you why would you get rid of the Volvo? It works.
There really is only two ways this case should EVER be allowed to go:
1) LeakID admits they don't actually have any kind of ownership over the malware. LeakID gets sued for knowingly sending false C&D notices under DMCA (or equivalent, not a lawyer).
2) LeakID claims to have ownership of the malware. LeakID gets sued to oblivion for creation and distribution of malware.
Another good comparison relating to how far light travels in that span of time is that it would take TWO of these pulses to cross one 'section' of a 45nm CPU; some of the smallest we currently have in consumer desktops.

Which explains why the school principal is among the casualties.

Hopefully this isn't it, would really be a shame.

FYI, they're about 10,000 miles apart.
What if you steal Person A's paintbrush, his paint, and his canvas, then draw your masterpiece using only things belonging to him?
Why?

Unlike you, I have a life
Wow, way to make yourself sound like a troll, there.
Which would be nice except there ARE no reputation tabards for the MoP factions.
Did you even play MoP?
You are not thinking big enough.
This is the beginning of a coup that will claim the lives of EVERYONE in the Communist Party as they use APPLE MAPS(!) to get to the congress.
I think you're forgetting rent, phone, internet, cable TV, water, electricity, gas, etc. in your budget.
That is why you request a $100 lightbulb with the added notes, "Unable to work without this, production halted until requested item is acquired."
emacs, right?

You're forgetting the part where it's night and the pilot's eyes are adjusted to seeing in the dark just before the green laser hits the window.

You don't sleep very long at night, I take it.

I'm curious, do you say, "I'll be there in 58 minutes and 48 seconds," or do you say, "I'll be there in an hour?"
I'm pretty sure both the .1 and the 1.6 megapascals is a rough estimate and not a 100% exact, set-in-stone figure.

Maybe he meant Fixed That For Truth?
