That is true, but if you are going to delay explosions, you don't delay them for only a couple seconds.
If you want the simultaneous, then it doesn't matter if they are a couple of seconds apart. For effectiveness it has no consequenses. And maybe this is easier to handle, e.g. if you have to use two remote detonators. If bomb A doesn't go off, you can decide not to use bomb B, for whatever reason.
You buy a device to store your personal data on from a company that collects personal data for a living, and then run an app on it from another company that profits from collecting you data and then are confused when they collect your personal data?

I use facebook, on my android phone, but only in the Firefox browser, with the self-destructing-cookies addon installed. I hope this is enough to stop them from collecting data when I visit other sites.
What's next for smartphones is not in the phone, it's outside the phone. I think we will see sensors - yes maybe in the form of a (i)watch - that communicate with the phone, and that gather and send data like heart rate, position, nfc. They will work independently, have their own batteries, have a much longer battery life, no lcd screen, maybe an epaper screen.
Why isn't there an audio of this interview? This should be routine now. While I appreciate efforts to provide this dialogue, I hope the author(s) don't expect that folks will always want to read through all the verbiage.
I would have been able to listen to the interview while on my way to work. But thanks anyway and sorry, I had to get this off my chest.
You know, with MariaDB, confessions are still confidential. When this one is sold to Microsoft or Apple, JesusDB will support speech input and output and it can communicate with AngelDB and stuff. Only when goDB will be around, it will answer questions like this itself on slashdot.
Many providers don't offer this in their cheap standard package. That's a major problem for Postgres I think. Then many popular webapps like Wordpress or Magento are mysql only, and I don't think it will happen soon that they will work with Postgres. Oh and if they did, most of their plugins won't work, so nobody will make the move.
So Apple is enforcing their rules which they've openly and clearly published
When I tried to view the rules on Apple.com, it asked me to log in with an Apple ID. Where should a prospective developer view these rules before spending four figures on a Mac, an iPad, and a developer license?
You can create your apple id for free, without using an ipad or mac.
Exchange and Lotus Notes were used for email. Drupal is a content management system, which can be used for discussions, but it doesn't replace email. What Obama uses now, I don't know, but it certainly isn't Drupal for email. It probably is still Exchange with a proper backup system.
Part of the hack was to exploit the unsecure procedures at the DNS registrar to add a new e-mail address for administering the victim's domain.
Any other company at the same registrar could fall victim for this, even a bank! And actually many registrars are this unsecure: not so long ago, it was possible to do similar things with just a faxed request with a (faked) signature. Not even necessary to know birth town and mother maiden name.
We had this at our company last year. Someone hacked into our account at the DNS provider, changed the DNS for the mail of one domain, then used that to request a new password for our Amazon EC2 account, which had two-factor login. They called Amazon, which disabled the two-factor login, after which they could take over the Amazon account. It took us two days to gain full control back over the account, as Amazon was unable to log the out. The DNS provider didn't give any good explanation about how this was possible. Amazon said they would discuss it and change policy, but did they? I don't know.
I don't think you quite understand how the tech world has changed. With the rise of Android, iOS and OSX, Microsoft has become the new underdog.
Microsoft the new underdog? With 90% userbase on desktops I can hardly believe that. They cannot keep up with online services like Bing and Hotmail loses ground, and even Windows is losing to OSX, Chrome and possibly Ubuntu, but that doesn't count until Windows dives below 50% on the desktop.

Officials also announced a twist in the probe: Suspicious packages that were detonated out of precaution were not explosive devices after all.
That's not a twist, it's just a thing. A twist is if it turns out to have been Richard Simmons.
That's not a twist. It would have been if it had a link to a Rick Roll.
Depends. There are reason to delay explosions.

I haven't counted Usenet posts lately, so can anyone check with Netcraft?
You would have to ask Gartner. They probably can look it up in their excel sheet.

If Steve Jobs were still alive, he'd just find the next big thing, and stop using NAND flash. Memristors anyone?
In Soviet Union, comradstors would keep Steve fleshy and alive!
I like the graphics but the game play can use more work.
I think a clown or two could actually improve those pictures a lot.

why not just use postgres?
jeez

That picture is hilarious! Are those medieval shields?
This is the Netherlands. Those shields are made of weed. They are softer on the rioters, who cool down easier when this is used.
A VM would not work very well; for lots of applications. Most of those things uses some terrible ActiveX controls, Need to touch disk files etc.
A VM has that all. It's just a very basic Windows installation and it can include ActiveX, and has its own virtual disk.
You're making problems here. Just check one of the boxes that you plan to do, whether you will or not. Nobody will sue you about such a "lie".

Just got confirmation that the iPhone 6 has airco built in. So sweat is no longer an option and will be banned from the Appstore.
Clinton was using IBM/Lotus Notes and it was working well. G.W. Bush switched to Microsoft Exchange, arguably so emails would get lost.

Obama's office is now using free open-source Drupal-based groupware, called OpenAtrium.

I got this flash drive from a Cuban and was instructed to relay this message here.
Hello my friends,
I would have gotten first post if the stupid messenger got to the computer on time.

Did he run Linux?
Or why not just make a temporary exemption that only lasts until unix time overflows 64 bits?
Because those DMCA servers don't run on Unix time you stupid! ;-)
Hmm. I wonder if .shitload is available...

But didn't Mir come crashing down in fiery chunks?
Remember that Mir came down on us with peace of mind.
In other news: Congressman tried biking in college, but didn't exhale.
Yeah but that would be impossible anyway, because I'm pretty sure he didn't inhale.
I say we cut down the CO2 emissions... with a herring.
I think that herring produces CO2 as well, so we should probably forbid that too!
