His money, his connections, and the technologies and expertise of his company. Did you expect him to put on a wetsuit himself and swim in to teach the kids how to go deep diving so they can get out?
Because, guessing here, the Thai government said they wanted to do it themselves for some kind of honor thing or whatever, and to put pressure on them he goes public with how he believes his companies can help, making it much harder for the Thai government to accept blame if they DON'T save the kids.
That is pretty much what I was trying to say. I haven't dabbled with writing HTML in ages, but I do remember using frames with invisible borders to create margins, static top menus etc. long before CSS was a thing. That's the trick I was expecting was in play here.
Alright, then we agree so far. The GP I originally replied to was talking about moving plates around between trucks depending on who was driving said truck on a given day.
TBH that sounds like a backwards way of doing it. The driver has (or at least, should have) a driver's license to show on request. The license plate should link to the specific car it was registered (licensed) to, eg. blue Toyota Corolla from 2001, not suddenly swapped over to a white Ford Escort from 1993 because the owner felt like it.
I was thinking the same thing. I never understood the idea of stopping something that is not profitable ENOUGH. I get stopping if you're right on the verge of losing money, but because you're not earning enough after all expenses (including your own salary) are paid... I just don't get it.
Are you absolutely sure you want 4 billion notorious public figures on the internet?
How much effort did it take you to get to where you are now? Does it seem like something the average net user is going to be able to do, let alone WANT to do?
How much crap do you have to put up with as a result of your name and fame? Should the net be off limits for anyone without a skin thick one to stand against that much crap?
Except not quite. Particularly the water argument suggests you don't consider laws (not just rules from the water provider, but actual legal laws) prohibiting excessive and unnecessary use of water during drought periods for things like washing cars, watering lawns etc.
You are also considered important enough that DDOS mitigation services go way above and beyond when you get slammed. They're not gonna do that for any random Joe.
It's a matter of celebrity status, if you will. You have a background, a name, a history that all add up to making you Someone. That is not the case for the vast majority of people on the internet - for them the best defense is not in having everyone know their name, but in making sure no one knows that name.
So many times this. My real name together with the country I live in will yield exactly one match. Now consider shit like SWATting and there is no way in f'ing Hell I'm letting anyone but close friends come CLOSE to finding out what my real name is.
I have an email asking me to fill in a form and upload a picture of the credit card and a government issued photo id of the card holder. Great, let's wake up the CFO who happens to be the card holder. What if the card holder is on leave and is unreachable for three days? We would have lost everything -- years of work -- millions of dollars in lost revenue.
Somewhere in Russia, India and Nigeria, several callcenters full of scammers came all at once.
Get the mark into a position where they're eager to jump at anything, then go, "Damn, the company hired someone else, but I do have THIS job lined up!" which is about half the pay, but if you've already made moves that require you to have SOME kind of employment it'll suddenly sound much more attractive.
Out of curiosity in case what you say is true, is it possible for the ISP to receive an HTTPS request and return it within one piece of a frame with such a notification sitting in another piece of the frame?
Pretty much, yeah. You'd think this story was from 1990 when good password management hadn't been drilled into the skulls of even the dimmest of dimwits yet.
You do not speak your password aloud, ever. You do not send your password to another person, ever. You most certainly do not read aloud the CONFIRMATION CODE that gets sent when someone has entered your password.
At a guess it must have been some long deprecated setting or code snippet which Office2013 doesn't know ever existed and craps its pants over, but LibreOffice knows what it was SUPPOSED to do and saves to however it's done now.

Well sure, he doesn't. But you know what the thing is about being a good boss? You don't have to know everything - you just need to know who does.
And that is exactly what he's doing here.
His money, his connections, and the technologies and expertise of his company. Did you expect him to put on a wetsuit himself and swim in to teach the kids how to go deep diving so they can get out?

Europe, just going by previous Slashdot articles about (I believe it was) Comcast throttling mobile data detected as video streams to around 480p.
And then Comcast throttles the speed to 480p anyway.

Isn't the license plate supposed to go with the CAR, not the DRIVER?

It's the grand unification between the political sides!
Somehow I don't think gay black people make up a large segment of Trump's support base.

WHOOSH.
The joke was that the top of the list had zero entries, and then came the rest.
They already do that. They go at the very top of the list, and are then followed by sites that let you pay through the nose to watch the movie once.
