Lets say I want Fox8 and Discovery Channel. $35/month with 12 useless channels? Yeah right. And the shows are still delayed from the US, and there are still some you miss out on.
I do have a MythTV set up, not for cable but for free to air.
I still download shows rather than watching them on TV. A) Australia so we are always behind the US. B) The ads on TV are atrocious. They should be ashamed of some of the crap they run. C) Sickbeard is even simpler than the EPG.
Mind you if you divide the attacks by the number of people in close contact with Orcas in both situation, the wild Orcas would look like human eating machines.
The number of people with the opportunity to come within 100 meters of a wild Orca would be extremely small, let alone within biting range.
Its not bad for complicated single run things like reports, but for something like a web app, squeezing data in to a string and then the DB server pulling the data back out of the string just seems convoluted.
I would have assumed that anything from the NSA in the current climate would constitute as news. Even if it is just a news catalogue. He should just say "I solemnly swear that I will post it on the net".
Have they specified what they do with the 10,000 misses though?
You are assuming they say "Oh this info is just the guy's mechanic. We'll delete it." But what if they run a trawl and store any data that pops up in to your 'file' for a indefinite amount of time?
God forbid anyone hook the door handle up to mains voltage. That would probably be more entertaining than a needle on a iris scanner as well.
Oh and the ACompany/BCompany example doesn't work. Biometrics (iris/fingerprints) always store a hash not a full image. You can't get a full image out of them easily and a iris would be even harder than a fingerprint to fool anyway.
Wait you want people to remember numbers just for a bus? Getting on a bus should require zero Maths knowledge. That way they can better accommodate the majority of Americans.
How is it a privacy issue? They don't get a eye blueprint and it isn't Minority Report style scanners. It is the same as a student id, just possibly more convenient.
If a id card is big brother then you better move to a small pacific island asap!
I still prefer my hand warmers to run Linux as it increases the 'warm and fuzzy' effect of the warmer. My preferred hand warmer configuration is a Galaxy S3 with a full battery and Google Earth spinning around some 3d buildings.
Yes but the optics point is still critical. What is the point of being able to zoom in to 41MP when the optics fall over and blur all the pixels to the same value anyway?
And no it has zero optical zoom. It has digital cropping zoom rather than digital scaling zoom. Flawless zoom quality yes (with MP loss) but no optical elements move. The same picture is seen by the sensor so the zooming is not performed by the optics.
I do data processing from rubbish sources (people who can't follow specs) every day.
Its a pain yes but not actually that difficult. Everything you just described takes time but it certainly isn't impossible to do. Import data, find differences, fix mistake and repeat until it is working well.
When was the last time Slashdot had a story about a government (any government, anywhere) ditching a failed IT project?
All the ones I've seen are more along the lines of "Here is a blank cheque, please let us know how many years past the original deadline it will take."

You call that worthwhile?

The larger the half life, the less harmful it is.
If you had a kilo of a element that had a half life of 10 seconds that is when you start shitting yourself, not a little bit of uranium.
Then the FBI places an order for 1,000 of them.

Unless it was their other shenanigans which they did do privately.that the NSA did listen to which made them change their minds.

"Oh noes I am 2mb short on storage on my 32gig device and I'm so stupid I bought a device without a SD card when I might have needed it!"
Really? That is your argument?
If the carrier installed app can't do anything any more and doesn't show up anywhere, its essentially the same.
You fell in love with SQL? Most people just grudgingly cringe at it and get on with the job.
No. Android 4.2 added a feature to hide any app regardless of whether it is put on by your carrier or not.
Where do you think the plastic consumables come from?
Lisp never 'comes back'. It merely recurses.
Yes because using the name 'Snowden' explicitly has clear links to the Syrian conflict.

That is the HP version yes.
The reality version is similar, but get rid of the bit about a customer needing to enable it and replace HP Support with anyone.

Its not as extendible as XML. Hell XML even has 'Extensible' in it's name.
We should use XML for HTTP/2.0 clearly!
How extendible and human readable do you actually need it to be to fetch a couple of text files and images from a server?
