In the year 2135, two scientists turned astronauts travel to a black hole to capture radiation. Their mission is a success, and they return to earth with expectations of fame and profit. They begin selling their radiation to various scientists around the world, but they are eventually arrested. What were they accused of?
That would be great. Right now if you want to make a kiosk device, the only browser that has enterprise long-term support is IE11. Chrome and FF don't have any kind of enterprise support. And Microsoft doesn't support Edge in their long-term support branch. If you purchase their embedded Windows or server Windows, it doesn't have Edge and there is no installer to add it.
I thought Trump was proposing a tariff that affected all nations, not just China. I don't see how a discussion of Chinese trade practices is relevant to a tariff that isn't being placed solely on China. That's like punching everyone in the face, and justifying it by saying one specific person is a bully.
FYI: I work in the medical industry, and Advantech and Cybernet are two companies that make these types of all-in-one devices. The ones I have around me are at least IP65 rated and fanless. We actually do accelerated bleach tests on them because the screens on some older devices would fade to white since the touch-screens had a plastic covering.
The S5 was the best phone, and I too have it. If they sold a Galaxy S5 with a newer OS, 32GB, and a slightly faster CPU then I might buy that. But the newer phones actually lost features. The higher-res screens are really worse, not better. The resolution is pointless and it consumes more battery. I won't buy a new phone if it is *worse* than the prior model. If you lookup reviews for each new phone, the review is basically asking "Is this phone better than the prior one?"
Part of the problem is that they bill software SOFTWARE features as though they were phone features. The phones have become commodities, like PCs, and so they make up BS features like "3D EMOJIS" as a reason to buy a new phone.
Sprint and T-Mobile allow subscribers to effectively lease them, allowing them to trade up for the latest device. That option, though, hasn't yet gone mainstream.
The problem is the differences are arbitrary and changing - there's no consistent philosphy. So in 4 years the party could be saying the exact opposite of what it says today. Bush Jr was against nation building and offensive wars, yet that is his legacy. Under his leadership, they expanded medicare with the prescription drug plan, then under Obama they fought tooth-and-nail against expanding healthcare. The republicans were fiscal hawks last year, now they are spendaholics. The only reason I can see for them being against NN is because the democrats were in favor of it. So while yes, there are differences, there's little consistency. The only real consistency is the constant expansion of federal power.
The conversation keeps revolving around where the company is located and where the server is located. No decision based on those criteria will ever be consistent. Perhaps it makes more sense to assign jurisdiction not based on where the data is held, or where the company headquarters resides, but based on where the individual resides. In that interpretation, the US government could get a warrant to obtain files on American citizens, but not on Irish citizens. This resolves some of the scenarios where someone says "Well, suppose [evil regime X] wants information on an American citizen, then should Microsoft provide it?" It also avoids confusion with applying European data privacy laws to American citizens whose data happens to be on a server in Europe. The case gets even more absurd as data moves around. If a US server has a backup in Europe, whose data privacy law would apply? Oooh, even crazier, what if we stripe the data 3 ways with some bits in America, some in Europe, and the parity bit in Asia? These kinds of problems go away when viewed in terms of residency.
Yes, but no. The article says that hackers hack into Apple, Comodo, or Symantec and use their credentials to generate and sell certificates. So hackers are selling the certificates, and buying the certificates too.
These rule changes sound sane. I just hope the anti H1-B sentiment doesn't become a witch hunt. I often see posts here making blanket statements that all H1-B visa workers are underpaid and/or underskilled. Yet I work with several H1-B immigrants who are DANG FRIEKING GOOD. They are some of the best people on the team, and they have been trying to get green cards for a while. Some of them got married here and want to buy a house and start a family. These are engineers with college degrees who are easily employable tax-paying wannabe Americans. This is how immigration keeps America great, let us not forget that.
In a 26-page order, Judge Pregerson said that the wording on the packaging did not create an enforceable contract.
That's huge, because so far judges have been willing to enforce shrink-wrap licenses as contracts. Does anyone have a link to the order, because I want to understand when such licenses are valid and when they are not.
Somewhat related, what is the legal status of renting out retail-purchased DVDs? I thought that was illegal. A quick internet search results in multiple seemingly-authoritative answers, all in complete conflict.
I'm not asking for political sensitivity, and I don't think that is what the OP is asking for. Heck, even blatently stupid is fine. If they wanna make the 6-day war secretly orchestrated by aliens or demons, that won't mess anyone up for life.:-) I haven't seen Wonder Woman and I don't know what the OP was referring to as far as WW1 historical inaccuracies, so I can't address their specific complaints. But there are some things they should keep realistic. Like, don't use WW2 aircraft in a WW1 movie, that would be dumb. And don't make it take place in the wrong country. Don't make everyone white skinned if that's not the skin color of that region. Don't rewrite the history completely. If you do want to rewrite the history, call it a different war, or make-up a country. But if they use gun A instead of gun B well that seems pedantic.
My favorite is Thor. He can Throw his hammer, and by holding onto it he can "throw" himself. That's kinda like kicking your own ass in an attempt to fly.
Suppose you were 15 years old, had never heard about the 6-day war, and you saw a superhero movie set in the backdrop of that war. Whatever happened in that movie, even if you knew it was fiction, would become your first impression about the war and the people. So if the movie made it look Arabs were jerks, then that would begin to form your opinion of them. If the movie made it look like Israelis were jerks, then that would begin to form your opinion of them. So while yes, logically we should discount anything we learn from a piece of fiction, that just isn't how human beings work. The writers should take some caution when using a historical or cultural event as a backdrop.
Microsoft already has several of their own x86 emulators. There was the old Microsoft Virtual PC app, then the server edition after that, plus their Azure stuff.
Site is paid for. I don't see annoying ads. If they don't have trackers in the ads, then this sounds like a win-win to me! Can I opt-in for other sites to do this?
Back in 2000, when the "i love you" trojan was harvesting people's address books, everyone was up in arms. Microsoft's reputation for security was damaged for a decade, IT managers had to start educating people about trojans and spear-phishing. Today, everyone expects that software harvests their personal information without asking and doesn't seem to care. How far we have fallen.

They were charged with hawking radiation.

You can't claim to be a privacy advocate while working a career that requires you to do the exact opposite.
Why would this require an app? Dang, y'all consume a LOT more media than I do. That's not healthy. Sheesh.
I do however recommend Common Sense Media as a way to discover and screen movie, TV shows, and games for children.
