I love to use the ComeFrom statement. It just makes the logic of the program so much easier to follow when others need to apply that very rare patch to my code.
Instead of going after those who plant the malware (in this case, the Chrome clone), why not go after those "third party advertisers" and those who place the ads on the hijacked browser?
No, it is a credit card with a PIN. I still have all the protections that a credit card provides.
.
A PIN is optional on credit cards with the 'chip', however, some credit card providers are requiring the PIN. Most, if not all, of the credit card companies will be requiring the PIN sooner than later.
So if someone gets my phone, they can access my Yahoo accounts because all the knowledge needed to access my Yahoo accounts is contained on the phone and/or Yahoo will message it to the phone.

What am I missing? This does not sound more secure at all.
In conversations that I've had with marketing people, they insisted that consumers want to see advertisements, if those advertisements are relevant. They showed me surveys where consumers were asked if they would want to see ads on web pages, provided those ads weren't intrusive and had relevant content. The results were more in the "yes" category than not.
. How the ad industry got from the results of those surveys to disaster they are doing on web pages is a mystery to me.
Wear Thync for minutes, feel the effects for hours.
A soothing neck massage. A splash of cold water. A kiss from someone you love.
These are common examples of how nerves signal the brain to change the way you feel.
Thync works in the same way using signaling programs we call Vibes.
Of course, it's not FDA-approved because it's not a medical device.....
... Spectrum seems a bit over regulated at the moment, there's barely any room for entities that aren't massive corporations with billions of dollars to do anything....
You conflate 'over regulated' with 'selling to the highest bidder'. The current level of regulation can continue, it just needs to get away from the highest bidder process.
All the infrastructure devices in my network (this include the entertainment centers) are all hard-wired. WiFi is just too susceptible to interference beyond my control. I've seen my WiFi speeds vary over a range of 10-to-1 within the period of an hour because of the interference originating beyond my abode.

If the wireless carriers want to continue to suck up public bandwidth, I think they should at least stick to their promises of deploying fiber where they said they would (Verizon, can you hear me now?).
...What that means is they are privileging the emotional needs of other Linux kernel developers (to release their frustrations on others, to be blunt, rude, or curse to blow off steam) over my own emotional needs (the need to be respected as a person, to not receive verbal or emotional abuse). There’s an awful power dynamic there that favors the established maintainer over basic human decency....
That shows a complete lack of professional respect on the part of those who bully others by demanding the environment be so disrespectful.
.
In a professional environment, you criticize the work, not the person. Period.
Those who say that such bullying is par for the course are more part of the problem than part of the solution.
...young people "feel that time spent in a car should be time for connecting and sharing experiences with friends."...
When they see their insurance rates skyrocket due to all the accidents they cause, the "young people" surveyed may come to a different conclusion. (and I'm not even going to mention the number of innocent people who are killed due to these distracted drivers. OK, I did mention it.)
... it wouldn't surprise me if TiVo sold ad space for the times that the TiVo skips a recorded ad.
.
From what I've been reading, lately TiVo has been very aggressive in overlaying ads along the bottom portion of the screen when recorded content is being watched. Also, the ads are being placed throughout the TiVo menus and even on the "Discovery Bar". Apparently, with the end of the patent money in sight, TiVo is turning their DVR into yet another screen for the advertisers to use.
Isn't their some law that gives border agents essentially unlimited rights to search and confiscate (no warrant required) so long as they are within 100 miles of any US border? I remember seeing something like that a few years ago and thought, gee, I wonder how many people live in houses that are within 100 miles of the border....
How long before the problematic "test" updates hit the Windows 10 environment with the forced update "feature". At least with my current Windows 7 environment, I was able to not run Windows Update until I learned of the root problem. With Windows 10, I won't have that option.
... the accord is just words at this point. The proof will be in the actions that follow those words.

If you really expect China to stop stealing our commercial secrets,you are living in a fantasy world. China needs to build its technology infrastructure, and it is far easier and quicker to steal it rather than develop it.

That's called a "debit card".

No different than if someone steals your wallet and you have to cancel your credit cards.
My credit card requires a PIN. So it is different.

All online ratings and reviews are played with and are dubious, at best.
There are some good ratings/reviews, such as this review of a book of random numbers.
But, for the most part, online reviews should be viewed with a good deal of skepticism.
Now that Verizon has hooked up with AOL to share cookie data and personal information, it sure would be nice if the Verizon stealth cookies could be deletable.

While I appreciated the sentiment behind "don't be evil", I was surprised that a company had the word "evil" in its motto, regardless of the context.

VW is a shining (well, maybe not shining) example of what happens when you allow industry to self-regulate.
Slowly, but surely, Apple is making the Apple Walled Garden a place where you can only sing the Apple-sanctioned songs.

But once the child is big enough to use a seat belt without a booster seat, what exactly is so hard about playing games on a laptop>
There probably already is a mobile device in the car, while there probably is not a laptop in the car.
It is tough to play games on a PC.
