I am not looking forward to the future where I need to have ten different payment apps installed on my phone (and my phone must NEVER run out of power!) in order to be sure I can buy the stuff I want on a shopping trip.
It had NO REASON WHATSOEVER to keep a logfile for the keystrokes. Listen to the keyboard for a hotkey or combo? Sure thing, that's what these programs HAVE to do. But a logfile? WHY? Was it gonna check if it MISSED SOMETHING two hours ago?
That's just another good reason why the network - the data center, the cables in the road etc. should be a public service like water pipes and electricity.
Yeah, but going specifically for the known problem is politically incorrect, so they have to ban all laptops instead of just the ones that might blow up.
It almost sounds to me like it was 100% accurate - if 2% of those deemed low risk of offending again then went and broke the law again, isn't that... well, the definition of low risk? Same for the high risk result - if I understand it correctly, only 12% of those didn't break the law again.
German and Norwegian is similar enough to just speak each their own language?
Get real.
Danish, Swedish and Norwegian are known to be unique in that native speakers of each will understand the other two decently well, especially if both speakers make an effort to speak slowly and clearly.
I'm Danish. I live in Germany, just half an hour's drive from the Danish border, and I can assure you that the Germans here more often than not do NOT understand more than two words of Danish.
English is a good language to use as a fallback option if for no other reason than the fact that so much of our entertainment is made in English. American English, but still English. Now, if countries like Germany and France would stop dubbing EVERYTHING that crosses their borders, be it games or movies, then they might realize how smart it is to have a language in common with everyone.
If you think the 60 people were all in the same work group, you are the fucking moron. Article doesn't say if these are twenty groups of three people each.
There is a difference between expecting something to not be private and expecting someone to take advantage of it. I'd change your 'unbelievably stupid' to 'unbelievably naive', but that's just me.
The big problem is that for years, like, a LOT of years, you built your entire online existence on a single email address - and for many people that address was the one they got from their ISP.
Forums, Facebook, online games, pretty much EVERYTHING ties into your email address. And you do know what happens if you want to change the email attached to an account, right?
Yeah. They email the existing address on file to confirm. If you no longer have access to that address you're screwed.
And even more from hands free (you're paying attention to the conversation even then) to using it as a GPS which you glance at every now and then to make sure you're on the right path.
Hey, let's fire anyone who LARPs as a bad guy or even just as a race with a questionable culture as seen through the lens of a conservative 20th century American politician!
The scam was saying that it didn't matter how many minutes of music you made total, but how many pieces you cut it into.
Do you really think it was EASIER for the musicians to play a non-stop 30 minute number than playing ten 3 minute numbers with recording breaks in between?
My first copy of WinAMP came on one of those coverdisks computer magazines bundled with. Yep, pre-internet connection. Other than Notepad, I can't really think of any other software I've stuck with for that long. Maybe Windows itself through all of its iterations.
Even with moderator approval required before posts go public, are they seriously expecting VOLUNTARY MODERATORS to be able to recognize if a random picture in a random post belongs to the poster or not?

Malice.

I dunno. Who pays for the electricity and the water?

Also one step away from "Millions of citizens with an opinion different from our own."
So do you want the brain surgeons to determine policy for which fuckups during brain surgery your next of kin can sue them for?
Except cloud storage is pushing more and more for PCs to be essentially dumb terminals.

Maybe you can clarify something for me about US politics:
If you are from the same party as the President, must you always vote FOR him, and if you're from the opposite party must you always vote AGAINST him?
If so, why vote at all? Just have a cheat sheet of how many places are held by either side and pass/kill anything the President does based on that.
The motive is simple: Force Win10 on everyone so they can force the Windows Store on everyone so they can get everyone's money.
And even more from hands free (you're paying attention to the conversation even then) to using it as a GPS which you glance at every now and then to make sure you're on the right path.
It was funny and harmless the first time.
They are now proving that they will go to extreme lengths to get their message across.
What if the third version doesn't say "Hey Google, what is a Whopper?" but "Hey Google, order me ten Whoppers!"
He was abusing team resources, though. It wasn't done in his spare time like this case.

Yes, let us only do constructive things 24/7/365, not relax ever!

In ancient Egypt, cats were revered as demigods.
They have never forgotten.
So they make an all-purpose robot repairing machine, one of which can also repair another robot of the same model.
NOW what do you do?
