Is the Government, FBI, NSA, etc going to demand a backdoor into these devices so they can be able to scan them for info in case terrorist or child pornographers are hiding info there?
The problems is that there are two sides to the story. And it's difficult to find sources that will decently explain both of them. One side claims that Zoe faked everything and slept with lots of people to get good reviews and get mods of all sorts of websites to censor anything negative said about her. It is likely true that she was involved with at least one person in the review industry, but not expressly for the purpose of getting good reviews.
The other side claims that it is the result of an ex-boyfriend doing his best to vilify her which caused a decent sized chunk of the gamer community to believe it was now alright to treat to woman like garbage. People, often using spambots, have posted her home address on countless websites (the real reason for most of the moderator censoring), and posted copyrighted nude images of her. She received a number of (idle) threats of rape and violence, and thousands of people on message boards and such started calling her just about every negative term I've ever heard used against a person.
Anti-zoe people were hurt because she became the target both for the reasons why the game review industry is so horrible (who hasn't purchased at least one shitty game do to inaccurate, overly positive reviews?), and the representation of every woman that ever hurt them personally. A large number of guys are drawn to gaming because they are not too good at interacting with women. For a subset of these guys, these problems with interaction have lead to bitter misogyny. In a number of threads and articles, a number of these guys have attacked anyone trying to defend her, claiming that those people either were currently sleeping with zoe, hope/wish that defending her will let them get to sleep with her, or they are loser-white-knights and Social Justice Warrior bitches who need to fuck off and leave us true gamers alone.
So yeah, it's a mess, and this bitter subset has gone and made the gamer community look really bad.
So basically a bunch of kids are acting like they didn't leave high school? What a shock.
C.S. Lewis, Anglican and actually closer to Catholicism in theology, wrote, from 1938-1945, a science fiction trilogy known as the Space Trilogy that explores alien races in the context of Christianity.
I first read the trilogy when I was an atheist, and it helped remove that particular hurdle in my later study of the world religions that lead to my conversion to Catholicism.
Hmm, I read those books while a christian and become atheist not long after.
Microsoft has a long history of over-promising, and under-delivering.
This has been going on for decades: "don't buy our competitor's product! We are just about to release something that completely blows it out of the water!" Then Microsoft starts pushing back the delivery date, changing prices, dropping features, and so on.
I know that the default majority slashdot opinion is, and for good reason, that everything the NSA is poisoned with malicious intent. But I can't actually decide if making useful security tools available is somehow against our citizens' interests.
I mean the compounding factors of large corporations, and big dumps of money, and selective availability all suggest problems too, but in a circumstantial way.
I can't make up my mind this time.
I can. Corporation are bad. They don't care about people, they only care about profit, so how is them having crap no one else has be any good?
After all, TV shows are way more important than structural evaluations, aerial photography for site planning, roof inspections, and the myriad other commercial applications that are actually useful and safer than the way we currently do it. Sigh.
With a fire, people are brought together as a community. There is not enough light to go hunting or engage in any other practical activity, but there is enough light to communicate with gestures and facial expressions as well as verbally. So people will engage in conversation, assuming they're not engaged in some other nocturnal activity, but for all we know they were doing that in the dark before they had fire.
Flash and Silverlight, Adobe and Microsoft, again -- and again and again. Is it the year of the Linux Desktop yet?
Netflix requires sivlerlight. And, I suspect, 99% of the people out there with silverlight installed, only have it for netflix. I can't think of a single other reason I'd install it. And I specifically banned netflix in my house because of the silverlight requirement.
Well you don't need silverlight for thepiratebay.se
The NSA, with apparent approval from our gov't, spies on its own citizens with impunity, and let seem to be caught flat-footed by events unfolding the Middle East and Ukraine (at least from what I have heard on the radio) The president twiddles his thumbs while our allies cry out for help. What in three hells happened to our country?
Corporations bought it. And helping Ukraine and stopping the ISIS doesn't help bring profits to the shareholders.
Well, until it causes problems with oil, then suddenly we'll see a big need to go take them bad dudes down.

flamebait? I was going for funny, sheesh, no sense of humor anymore...

But this is HP...
And it still wouldn't be allowed for tests
In my days we used pencil & paper to do math. We had to *gasp* actually work the problem out.
My days sucked.
address the customer service problems. I regard PayPal as unusable.
They won't. That cuts into the bottom line.
nm, i'm stoo stoned to remember what I was going to post.
My guess is we are fucked.
Is represented by...?
Microsoft of course.

Not to mention they grounded search & rescue drones. http://arstechnica.com/tech-po...
It's obvious it's all about the money, not about anything else.
I'm thinking about phones & tablets and other devices that haven't been rooted, or got a new update that the old root methods don't work.
Can this be used to get root on systems?
Fish fuck in it.
They also poop & pee in it. Mainly those big ass mammals in there.
That is the real reason oceans are salty, whale piss.
Hmm, I guess those Aliens up there have to drink something.
But seriously, we have found water on the moon?
What the fuck does seatbelts have to do with drinking & driving?
Walled garden has weeds!
Which is legal in CO & WA
And this is how Mothra got started (not really, but still, Mothra, Godzilla, radiation. See, it all links together...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The practical reality in Washington at least is still:
A) Medical dispensary
B) Some guy in a certain area of the city
Because there are so few legal recreational stores, and the few legit growers are having trouble keeping up with demand.
There a few (illegal) delivery services that operate and anyone who smoked weed already has a connection.
Why would I leave my great connection to buy from a store? My dude is never out, has a few varieties.
Growers make more money selling to their normal connections then going legit. IMO they government got a little too greedy with all the taxes on it...

Bumping into things?
I have porn in my home data center. What else would I have in it?

If they are just going to sit on it
They aren't. And if there exists a DOS emulator for Android/iOS, you can play your Steam copies on Android/iOS, as Steam is just using DOSBox.
Android Dos Box Emu's & Mangers exist. https://play.google.com/store/...
The CNET article says the contract is worth $3 billion.
Interestingly that's just half a billion less than Microsoft's planning to pay for Minecraft / Mojang.
It's great to know that AC's can't do math.
