If the NSA was dumb enough to do this then they just wrote a blanket invitation to all countries to attack US owned agencies and companies openly with impunity. They will sound like complete hypocrites (even more so) and be ignored when other countries do it. I doubt NSA would be that dumb...I hope.
Yep then your phone will naturally become slow and unusuable forcing you to upgrade (not patch), rather than remain out of date and at risk. Not sure which is worse.
Self-driving cars, for example, must have infinitesimally precise location data to avoid accidents.
If self driving cars are more reliant on GPS data than actual real world feed back to avoid accidents then they better be banned as I don't want that shit anywhere near me.
The GTX 1060 is in no mans land, no SLI, more expensive than the RX 480 with similar performance. It only has a single defining benefit and that is it is slightly less power hungry than the RX 480, I don't know what the fuck Nvidia were thinking with the pricing when they released it.
It isn't up to them to prove, it is up to you to prove it was legitimate! money laundering laws were created to prevent the scenarios you describe by putting requirements on you and any exchanges and 3rd parties involved to correctly record the transactions and identities and report them where appropriate.
from panama, well you just did an international transaction and are therefore subject to money laundering laws around international transfers which require declaration of the parties involved in the transfer and the reason for the transfer..
Why? seems a relatively easy thing to do, sure there will be some they can't get data for but they have access to bitcoin exchange data, any conversion to real money or purchase of goods etc leaves an easy to follow record of activity. Sure you could have many wallets and never convert anything or buy anything real but then they probably aren't the main target of this, seems aimed at money laundering which will definitely be something they can follow the bouncing ball for.
even a GOOD team will pay. look at what the Cubs just did.
^this, while many are way over paid and underperform companies with problems or in decline pay very large salaries to try and attract quality to fix the problem. The obvious recent example being Yahoo, though she failed to fix the problem and may have made it worse her salary was an attempt to buy in talent to turn the company around.
Lol. You are such a retard. Yahoo was in the shitter long before she showed up. Her failure to bail out a ship that had been sinking for over a decade means nothing more than she took on a herculean task beyond her ability.
Yes it was in the shitter, That is why they hired her for an insane amount of money to pull it out of the shitter. She failed completely and utterly.
I don't think much of Verizon but I would be fucking shocked if Meyers arse isn't on the sidewalk 10 seconds after it goes through. Yahoo was on its way down, but she put the peddle to the floor and accelerated it into oblivion.
It isn't about fearing Clinton, it is about the insane mess Trump will create of the west if Trump wins, from NATO Chaos to trade wars it has the potential to play big time into Russia's favour or at least be an amusing thing to watch if you aren't tied at the crotch to the west.
The ASUS is not loud heavy and hot and it is 7 YEARS OLD, it was purchased because it is basically silent, extremely light and cool, yet still beats the very top of the line Galaxy s7 performance wise. The whole point is if you are carrying around a laptop shell you may as well carry a lightweight laptop, it will perform a fuck load better than a Galaxy s7, will have far better resolution that the POS screen coming with this shell and you won't be reliant on your phone as your only means of computing power.
why does it have to be windows? what is wrong with Linux or chrome if you don't like windows? though a user that is not capable of managing windows is unlikely to be capable of handling all the scaling issues and problems that come up with running a niche solution like this as well.
Lenovo W500 with a Core 2 (actually it is 8 years old, I also have an almost 6 year old W520 it was top of the line at the time with an i7 with 16GB of ram and 256GB SSD, I also have a 7 year old more budget lightweight oriented laptop I bought for travel an ASUS i5 with 4GB of ram can't remember the model as it is in car, but it is prior to them bringing out zenbooks.) all of which decimate any current phone.
The only problem with that is my laptop that is around 7 years old is still massively more powerful than the best modern smartphone, hell even my 10 year old one would be preferrable. why would I want such restrictive performance of a phone without the form factor benefits?
I mean seriously at this point a laptop with similar levels of performance as your phone is a fraction of the price. If you are going to carry around a laptop shell you may as well make it a real laptop that won't have the shit ton of limitations that this is going to have.
500 customers not units as usual the fucking Slashdot summary is shit. These are enterprise devices, common target environment is video conferencing, would not surprise me if 500 customers equates to many thousands of units.
And it wouldn't surprise me if 500 customers means 500 resellers, each shipped 1 evaluation/display unit.
unlikely, resellers don't tend to buy these sort of items without orders placed, puts too much inventory on their books.

seriously? lucky you (legitimately mean that). I have a wife (no children), airfares alone on my last vacation cost over 2k and that was just going to Fiji from Australia (relatively close location). think my last trip cost me 8k for 16 days (including airfares) and I would not consider that a particularly expensive trip (not cheap either though). Going anywhere from Australia is expensive (even most places in Australia are expensive).
I think they get angry at not just the price hike. The last 2 years has also brought with it a decrease in content as they lost licensing deals and blocking of VPN access. So what they are asking is pay more for less, more of the final straw for a few people when there is increasing competition in the space. To me the price doesn't matter, but the content combined with the VPN crackdown is death (as soon as my current VPN provider is blocked I will go elsewhere).

Not openly and so apparently obviously they haven't,

The entire value of bitcoin is only a few billion dollars, this wouldn't even put a dent in a weeks interests payments of many countries.

Far better to take the pain and cauterize the wound than let the gangrene spread further.

It isn't about fearing Clinton, it is about the insane mess Trump will create of the west if Trump wins, from NATO Chaos to trade wars it has the potential to play big time into Russia's favour or at least be an amusing thing to watch if you aren't tied at the crotch to the west.
That isn't GabeN thinking of the children, it is the law in most of the world. I imagine there is considerable concern on the legal ramifications.
