It is NOT a problem in the current model at all. It is a problem only for those that are not willing to change or evolve their skills. Skill sets required change, some new ones will be required and many old ones will become less relevant. In a recent training course I was at there were a whole heap of infrastructure people trying to improve there development skillset (surprised me how many actually), these are people that can see the freight train coming and are altering there skills appropriately. Many more will simply find themselves out of work and wonder "what the fuck just happened?" and this is just in the IT space, every other work environment has the same situation. Evolve or Die!
Do you carry your SATA drive around with you wherever you go and attach it to every computer you use?
Absolutely, my backpack which has my laptop goes everywhere with me. It has 2 external drives and a handful of USB sticks. around 5 or 6 TB in all and anything extra critical I make I put on another drive which I store safely. access is 100 times faster and more reliable than accessing google. I know that the service isn't going to be discontinued in X months time and I can be confident on who has access to my data. Even my keys for the car has 2 USB sticks on it with 256GB of data that is always with me even if there is somewhere I go without my backpack. Google can't hope to match the ease of access, vailability, security or speed.
No, but at least if it was a tesla it would save the terrorists a lot of effort in attacking it, I am sure something of that wait and size built by tesla would explode all by itself every couple of hundred yards.
I know it is a paid advertisement but still, those prices are NOT incredibly low, they are still significantly more than purchasing your drives and doing it yourself and they are supposedly getting the benefit of scale as well as the benefit of being able to mine and sell your data.
I only do software development, some gaming and photo editing on my laptop, yes I am more than aware their are a lot of areas that still need discrete graphics for laptops, but it is a rapidly shrinking market. Even desktops now the integrated option is taking an increasingly large share.
I thought I would always want discrete graphics. But nowadays the majority of laptops really have no need of it, The AMD and Intel integrated offerings while not amazing are more than adequate for the vast majority of purposes. my latest 2 laptops both use integrated Intel 4th gen and handle laptop needs completely for both my work and the limited gaming I do on a laptop. I would imagine Nvidia are very uncomfortable with the way their market has been contracting over the last couple of years.
I don't believe Apple should have been issued the patents in the first place and mostly agree... BUT
this
I guess the bias the other way is roughtly that Samsung rightfully determined that the patents were obvious non-innovations that should never have been issued a patent in the first place and infringed on them knowing that the courts would see the patents fall once someone actually challenged them.
that is not how things should work. If you disagree you go to court first or license then fight them in court or you avoid the patented methods altogether. Intentionally infringing because you don't think they should have the patents is moronic and opens yourself to untold potential liability costs (as they are now experiencing).
It was a garbage rumor back then that was only believed by those with a heavy anti MS bias and is even more so now given the next version has been announced.
I am actually completely astounded they don't already do this. I am highly against the excessive use of monitoring of citizens, But once you have a security clearance I would have though this would be standard practise and an accepted tradeoff in order to get your clearance. I know when I got my security clearance I had to sign off on permission for them to dig and monitor all sorts of information about me and I was actually surprised with some of the things they discovered and questioned me on.
I am struggling to see how a disc format which is orders of magnitude smaller and slower than current disk sizes (not to mention what disk sizes will be in 2 years when this is available) and also significantly smaller than current backup technologies is expected to take off. If you need to backup large amounts of data you use Tape which this new format doesn't have anywhere near the capacity of or you use disk (i.e. HDD's) which are fast and cheap. optical media is going the way of the Dodo, it simply hasn't been able to keep pace with size requirements.
Yes they are. Perhaps you need to learn the definition of coup, a military coup is only one type, what has happened in Ukraine fits the definition of a coup to a T.
Any device where a legal document transferring the ownership of the device to another person. Why Yes it does, why should it be otherwise? Do Apple get more authority than the courts now and get to assume everyone is guilty until they can prove they are innocent?
Why was that marked insightful? You don't put the VIN number for the cars you own in your will either, nor do you put the serial numbers from each electrical appliance, watch or other worldly possessions. Why is it suddenly that this is on the family to prove for this particular type of device, A Will is a legal document, if Apple thinks the item might be stolen then it is on Apple to prove it, not the family.
Everything you say is actually true EXCEPT, this isn't that families problem, it is apples. When you die your worldly possessions go to your family or anyone else you deem fit to bequeath them too. It is legal and quite proper, Their is no catch 22, Apple have no legal standing here as a properly written will IS a legal document with the authority to transfer ownership, it is not up to the family to provide further proof, if apple is concerned it is on them to provide proof that this particular item was stolen. I hope Apple get their arses sued off.
they avoid eaves dropping between two parties. in a corporate or managed environment though those 2 parties are the proxy server and the web site, not the desktop computer. As others have stated if you really have a problem with your work scanning your web traffic (which in many areas they actually have a legal obligation not to mention security obligation to do) then DON'T use their network for personal stuff. I don't like my personal traffic being scanned and where I work we advertise the fact we scan everything except banking sites, select medical sites and federal authority websites. So even though they don't really care if w use for reasonable personal use and I know the admins don't even log the data it is merely used for malware scanning and content filtering, I use a personal device for personal browsing.
The President currently makes $400,000 a year (a helluva lot less than the CEO of many major US corporations)..
You forgot to mention the Zero expenses he occurs or the lifetime pension from the moment he is no longer president, he also gets funding to "help" move back into private life (must be a terrible burden for him), then he gets funding for staff as well as travel and medical expenses for himself and family for life. basically after he is no longer doing the job he is still earning more than half a million a year for his stint as president.
Wearing a uniform is required to gain protection by the convention, it is not a violation of the convention to not wear uniform, merely you are negating any rights under those laws to be afforded its protection.
Claiming unbreakable is idiotic and is just an indicator that the people at said company have no imagination. We have no idea what new techniques will be developed over the next year or 2 let alone decades and to make a claim something is unbreakable is just asking to be shot down, look how well the "unbreakable" claim worked for Oracle.
That is really the point here - if you destroy a currency the currency is worthless, so why steal it unless you don't care about the value?
Who wouldn't care about the value? Governments. Who also have a vested interest in seeing BT go away.
Who wouldn't care about the value? how about anyone of 5 or 6 billion people that have no vested interest in the currency. Even if the value of bitcoin reduced to 1% of current value that is still all profit to someone with no bitcoin investment, and whether it is $6k or$600k they stole it is still free money for them taken from a system with no regulation and with little chance of them being caught. seems like bitcoin exchanges are excellent targets, what does it matter if it erodes the value of bitcoins?
Not sure about your BMW, but I had that in mine as well as in my VW. Both of them would not allow playback of video if the car was not stationary, So yes they are for the driver, but not while your driving.
You owned??? how exactly did the housing bubble make you a renter unless you were either a part of the problem or the bank actually owned your house? the problem wasn't just the banks, it was the morons willing to take out insane loans with little or no deposit or security backing on the promise that things would only go up. The banks were leeches to do it but those taking out the loans acting like victims were actually just as much part of the problem.
Just about all those faults sound pretty standard in most GM cars. If it was ford the list would be even longer. funny how a joke from the 90's has actually turned on its head as tech has advanced, most OS's would be appalled to be as unreliable as most of the shit being churned out from GM or ford today.

yep, Hence the US being pissed that their investment in turning the Ukraine has been nullified if they lose the Crimea.

Oh wonderful, civilian uprisings are coups now.
Yes they are. Perhaps you need to learn the definition of coup, a military coup is only one type, what has happened in Ukraine fits the definition of a coup to a T.

yep that's the one. I wouldn't trust Tor network as an anonymity service for anything, let alone something I really wanted to keep secret.
What Apple is saying there is basically Marketing BS. They have demonstrated time and again that security is NOT their primary concern in design.
You owned??? how exactly did the housing bubble make you a renter unless you were either a part of the problem or the bank actually owned your house? the problem wasn't just the banks, it was the morons willing to take out insane loans with little or no deposit or security backing on the promise that things would only go up.
