Even in the US they have a right t demand them back. Shipping mistakes don't fall under the unsolicited gifts category. The receiver can only keep it if the seller isn't willing to pay reasonable shipping costs and or isn't willing to arrange for the item to be retrieved in a reasonable timeframe.
before giving the headline or summary any attention what so ever you need to take note of "Posted by Soulskill", that is all you needed to do to be certain that the summary bears no resemblance to the actual article and has been twisted to some sort of flamebait.
Unfortunately it is you that is repeating misleading sound bites. The majority of those on NBN aren't even taking up the highend bandwidth, they are taking 12mbps or 25mbps plans, these people are very easily serviced by mobile broadband at a fraction of the cost of having a fixed line NBN. It doesn't take a high speed low latency connection to browse the web and read email
I DDoS doesn't just block access to the site, it actually has a real bandwidth and server impact as well as blocking access to the site. So in addition to not being able to do business a DDoS can have a very real cost associated to it apart from just the loss of business.That is where I see the difference here, they aren't just protesting and preventing business, they are also inflicting additional costs on the business. So instead of just blocking a building in a protest try throwing paint at the building or smashing a few windows so that you are inflicting real costs, see if you are still treated the same way by authorities (hint you won't be)
I have to ask, what could you possibly be downloading to consume 950GB+ a month. I use netflix Hulu, download torrents daily and play a huge amount of games and I struggle to do more than 200-250gb a month.
Given the US is one of the biggest arms dealers around the world regardless of side I think YES you can say the same about engineers. There inventions are just as likely to be used for them as against them.
You should have timesheets detailing everything you actually do, a list of tasks that need to be done as well as time estimates against them. Present that as your business case. Remember though staff are very expensive, for such a small organisation that is actually a lot of developers but maybe 1 too few admins, perhaps they should also be looking at utilisation of more off the shelf stuff rather than extremely expensive customisations.
There are still many legacy systems around that have password length limits, especially in financial areas where systems can live a VERY long time. anything from size of the field in a database to the memory allocation for the auth system only supporting 8. We literally only just decommissioned one of our older mainframes whose passwords were also limited to 8 characters, this had the knock on effect of any system that needed to integrate with it had to work within that limit, so we have modern front end web servers with users restricted to 8 character passwords (now the mainframe is finally dead we can improve that).
The worst numbers to play in lottery are from 1-12, the next worst are 12-30 (dates and ages).. basically he would have been sadly disappointed with how little he would have gotten had he actually won with 1-2-3-4-5-6. My stepfather back in the 80's used to do that in Australia, he hit the jackpot and was stunned when his payout was only 10 grand (expecting a million dollars), I guess the hundreds of other winners were probably just as disappointed.
someone recording with a smartphone is extremely obvious and yes just as invasive. But it seems most people at least have the common courtesy to realise that it is not acceptable and don't do it, whereas these dick wads that wear google glass think it is their god given right and how dare anyone say otherwise.
why would I want to give them a bad review. We need more restaurants taking a stand. When I eat at a restaurant dick wads that think privacy is null and void can eat shit and die.
No I don't assume that. I assume that she actually "believes" it was falsified and is following her moral compass. She may well be wrong, however I didn't read anything that said people didn't agree with her, only that she lacked sufficient proof. If she is wrong and has been shown to be wrong then she should be moved from the category of a moral crusader to a nutbag, but without being familiar enough with the details I can only trust she is at least trying to do the right thing and there was nothing in the article itself that pointed to her doing otherwise.
This was a case of the academic world and also the 14 years and costs were also self imposed on her by her relentless bid to expose the lies. While I applaud her efforts the tone of the summary here is somewhat misleading as it sounded like she was unfairly punished for revealing the truth.
BS, dual boot is a minor feature that very few would use and would be a blip on the radar as far as sales go. The killer was the lack of apps, the locked down nature of the installed OS combined with general confusion.
yes that is the part I don't understand. If they were holding out because they would only be making a small premium on there investment I could understand. But they would be making a massive amount of money leaving them all very rich, why the hell would you hold out for more in such a fickle market as social media where in a few short months they could end up begging to be given a fraction of the original offer. Sure they might get more, but such insane greed makes no sense when they might also get nothing.
I didn't claim it did address that question. merely stating they are highly unlikely to be shills, unlike the A/C that I responded too who is most definitely a Sony Shill. However if you look on some of the gaming forums, especially the pro sony ones it appears the failure rate is very real though not in plague proportions. something in the range of 5% which is definitely above normal for first few days of a new product but not so bad as to be a complete disaster. I guess we will know more over the next week if it is a major issue or not as more people start playing there purchase.
The reviewers are almost all VERIFIED purchasers. I.e. they are writing reviews for ps4's they have purchased. If they are shills then they are sure as hell going beyond the call of duty by going and buying a ps4 just to write a bad review.
I also travel to Europe a lot, I have a swipe card and a chip and pin one. much to my frustration I left my chipped card in my hotel safe one day and wouldn't you know it that was the day I had 2 instances of not being able to pay with my magstripe card. maybe it isn't common, but it does happen. For me it was on a ferry in Norway and also in a shop that very same day. Now I think about it a shop in Copenhagen also refused it but I had my chipped card with me at the time then.
Gates was extremely philanthropic even during his working career. It massively increased on his retirement but he has always been a very generous and mostly modest person that doesn't flaunt his wealth.
As long as they are consistent it doesn't matter too much, BUT someone that cares about the noise levels of a card would find the Anandtech review useless as they would not be using such a case and people that afford these cards and care about the noise level nearly always go for proper cases as well so really Anandtech should either be using a better case or simply not reviewing noise levels.
I'm not saying Gates is necessarily wrong, but it is awfully convenient that the most important issue for the world just happens to be the one his charity is involved in.
What a moronic statement, it isn't convenient at all. He picked what he thought was the most important issue facing the world and created his charity around addressing that, how the fuck is that "convenient".
I think this has been pointed out before. But when articles have to resort to referring to only sub $300 notebooks to describe there market growth it should raise alarm bells. to only have a 20-30% market share in a segment of the market with almost zero competition is a sad sign for them, not one of success.
Not sure where you heard diablo 3 was a title that could never work on a console. The whole game is perfectly suited to the console, it is basically a glorified arcade game even on the PC.

What a coincidence. Zero Trust is EXACTLY what I have in google.

yep pulling out of steam was the intelligent bit, shame they then try to force an even worse version of steam down gamers throats.
