Why would they require anything different than any other electronics "discovery" kit? I mean, are we talking about guys with no hands so the kit needs to be prosthetic friendly? Or maybe it needs to be a kit that can not be used to make an IED?
Serious question, what does PTSD or whatever have anything to do with this question?
Anyway, it's a sad sad thing that HeathKit no longer exists...
The reality is that this almost never happens. And it will not happen in this case, where the "defendant" is not only accused of being a drug kingpin, but also of putting out "hits" on people he didn't like. He's not going to look good to a jury. Say what you will about drug laws, but this guy "allegedly" took substantial steps to murder people.
What a useless and whinging article! You find remote support frustrating?
It's more than that. these "support" people find their "users" objectionable - the people for whom they serve and the reason they have a job.
Many if not most people use computers for a varying scale of applications. Most of these people are not "computer professionals". If you are in "support", your job is to "support" these people. If you can't handle that, it's time for a new job.
Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin has not and never will launch a rocket. Like Amazon, it is a Patent Troll.
SpaceX is actually doing things in space. Blue Origin is just the money hungry Bezos looking for more money without actually doing anything to deserve it.
well to be fair, im sure a civil case is going to happen. Its just sick. I wonder if there will be any riots over this one
Nah. It was wrong, but people generally don't riot over the death of a rich dude.
Rich white dude.
Anyway it is slightly different that shooting some guy with his hands up, or shooting some guy running away - a pretty standard cop thing. The guy is just as dead, and the point is that the cop was negligent yet being held to different - much lower - standard that a citizen. One expects cops to be held to higher standards, but we find that it just isn't so.
Not public pages Russian apologist fag. Suck dick and kill yourself.
Why not have the balls to sign in to your account and say that, troll? I'm only pointing out the obvious, not agreeing or disagreeing with any particular political view.
Ah yes, only the most reliable sources at Slashdot...
But anyway, the more likely explanation is that like many social media platforms, Facebook uses automated systems to deal with thousands and thousands of content complaints every day. Usually, after a certain number of complaints, the system automatically blocks the content, and the original poster has to challenge the block. Keep in mind that due to the volume of content complaints that these types of services get, humans rarely get involved in the beginning, it is simply all automated.
It's possible and even probable that the complaints themselves are âoeorchestratedâ by people with political aims, perhaps even government employees. But that doesn't mean that Facebook is somehow âoecooperatingâ with the Russians because the head of their Russian office is, well, Russian.
Only if those European Microsoft customers broke a US law and used Microsoft to house the data about such criminal activity on their servers.
Seriously? You don't read much on the FOnly if those European Microsoft customers broke a US law and used Microsoft to house the data about such criminal activity on their servers., apperently.
No, it won't. Europeans will still have the same protections they do under their laws. However, US citizens committing a crime in the US won't be able to store their data on foreign servers of American companies and have it safe from authorities. In otherwords, if a US crime is committed, it doesn't matter where the US company hosts its server farm, it is still under the control of that company and subject to the authorities.
You are incorrect. the case would impact Europian Microsoft customers as well. Indeed, the account in question is almost certainly held by a non-American.
It is a rational self-interested decision that may be good for consumers.
Of course it's "self interest", and more accuratly "self preservation". Micrsoft is a business that ultimatly has to answer to their stockholders. If it comes to pass that US "law enforcement" can reach out and get personal data from non-US servers, it will completely destroy Microsoft's European business, due the the much stricter data privacy laws in Europe. It would be "game over" for Microsoft in Europe.
Most people don't need more functionality than Libre Office can provide.
People keep saying that, but I don't know very many of these "most people", and believe my, most of the people I associate with are not "IT professionals". Many "regular people" use Excel for more than you might think, and Libre Office Calc simply does not cut it. Also I think this "most people don't need more than Libre Office" sets a pretty low bar. Yes, you can get by with Libre Office if what you mostly do is write letters to the home owners association... Much more than that, and "most people" are going to be unimpressed. I'm not trying to trash Libre Office, but it still needs a lot of work.
They have also implemented the classic change it to be different approach M$ always has. The true irony is how people complain about "fragmentation" Seriously? These people have clearly never used M$ products for more than a couple of years. Stalwarts of consistency they are not.
I think you confuse cosmetic changes and things like the Ribbon Menu for the more important core functionality of MS Office, which has only improved. Lots of people who are set in their ways trash the Ribbon Menu, but if that's your focus, you're not looking too deep. There are things I simply can't do with Libre Office Calc (but would like to very much) that are basic functionality in Excel.
Having said that, I've got used to Gimp's shortcomings verses Photoshop (yes, I know - "most people don't use the advanced Photoshop features"), and though I might try a different distro, RHEL6 and CentOS v6 desktops are perfictly functional to me. However, if the standard excuse for Linus desktop and application shortcomings is "most people don't need that", well, that's a seriously weak excuse that keeps Linux desktop down
Also, I notice you use the "M$" meme. Did you know that many Open Source companies are in it for the money as well? Certainly Red Hat is (I own stock - it's a publically traded for-profit company). I'm not a Socialist, so I really have no problem with Microsoft or anyone else seeking to prfit from their business. That includes the many many for-profit Open Source businesses.
I gave up Windows at home a year or so ago. I use RHEL6 on the desktop, though I'll bet Ubuntu is a smoother "consumer" experience. My main problems are not "bugs" - and of course Windows is far from bug-free - it's that Open Office (and the various permutations) simply doesn't stand up to Microsoft Office, but fortunatly I don't use it that much at home. I'm not a "gamer", but it seems to me, that's one of the big hold-backs for the Linux desktop.
At work, it's still Office, mostly for Excel and Outlook.

I paid Slashdot $5 or $10 a few years ago, and have't seen an ad since.
Did I specify "desktop"? No I did not. I'm still the customer, asshole, get over yourself.
I dont 'serve' you, we are peers.
If you are in "support" than yes, you *do* serve me. We may be "peers", but I AM YOUR CUSTOMER.
If you can't handle that, get out of "support".
What a useless and whinging article! You find remote support frustrating?

if me or you did this, we would be locked up on vehicular manslaughter
I had said that in the story submission, but the "editors" took it out.
I usually just send them shampoo and other hygene supplies.
I'll agree the GP is just a troll, but unless your real name is Frosty Piss, I don't think you can talk about "having balls".
You may call me Mr. Piss (from the great state of Washington), Mr. Baric. That's Mr. Frosty Piss.
Shut the fuck up Russian troll.
Perhaps you might have the balls to log into your account and say that?
I'm not taking a political stance here, only pointing out the way that content complaints work on most social media platforms.
You need to get a grip and behave like an adult if you intend on adding anything of value to the conversation, which your childish comments do not.

I literally read your anicdotal comments literally once, and must say I literally agree with your experiences. Literally.
Well its not just MS, ANY company. Google, Apple, etc would be effected by this as well.
Of course. Which is why all the multi-nationals that you mention will weigh in with "Friend of the Court" briefs.

What an obnoxious thing to say. You confirm that you are an elitist asshole.
Whatever...
Is this part of the "man made" global warming thing?
The fact that you think most people even know what a spreadsheet is tells me that you have no idea how most people use a computer.
It's increadible that you would say such a thing. You either have a very low opinion of "most people", or are an out of touch eletist.
