I hadn't heard about it either but it sounds like it was supposedly chalked up to an "accident" where Fox news played video from the previous year's announcements instead of the current year's announcements. So not a situation of editing current video but of replacing it altogether. Here's a link if you're interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
This is because you have to use Microsoft's Windows 10 installation media creator. Attempting to create a bootable USB from the ISO won't work. They have done something goofy with the ISO. You have to go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-u... to download and run the USB installer from a Windows PC (might work with Wine, haven't tried).
The problem here is that you can't initiate safe mode from a cold boot. Both of those methods require you to have a somewhat working OS to start with. If your Windows 10 crashes dead and you turn it off, there is no way to force it into safe mode during startup like you could with previous versions. This is a significant problem for techs who repair systems that have been unplugged to be delivered to a central location. Yes, you can still stick in a Windows 10 bootable disk and repair from there but you shouldn't have to.
I certainly understand your point of view. Historically, published articles and books were proofed, edited, perhaps even peer reviewed and therefore considered to have sane and accurate information. Anybody can publish any random nonsense on the Internet. However, I would put forward that with the conglomeration of major media outlets and consolidating of information sources, only "approved" information is getting in any of those primary, and once trusted, media sources.
The onus is now on each individual to fact check, validate, and use critical thinking on any information source. But Internet-based sources are more likely to be freer of interference. Although even that is ceasing to be true as Facebook, Google, and other major online repositories of information start their own purging and blocking of contrary ideas. Honestly, it may be only a few years before well documented and thought out articles from completely anonymous sources found on obscure sites will be the closest to honest information we can find.
Umm... so if you disable all external ports, how do the keyboard and mouse work? Keyboard loggers work so well because they sit between the keyboard and the PC... They even still come in both PS/2 and USB formats...
I think the real problem here is that media sources are turning to automated scrapers instead of using human beings to investigate and report the news. Look at some of the sources that rebroadcast this fake report. The BBC, Telegraph, Mirror, and MSN news. How can anyone take an article they read from a news source seriously knowing that automated scripts likely wrote it. This is a growing trend as well. A growing number of news articles are the result of automated reporting scripts. From my point of view, if news agencies want to increase the speed with which they report and the number of stories they can get out there by using automated scripts they should at least use their existing humans to proof and sanity check stuff before it goes out.
I imagine it's more trying to gear for PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). If, instead of fumbling with a keyboard or swiping on my phone, I can simply talk naturally to tell my PDA to create an appointment, find a gas station, read the science news, etc. then that may be a beneficial piece of software. My question is always "Who pays for it?" My guess is that this kind of technology will be used as a new advertising platform. If I ask for a nearby restaurant or grocery store, it would make sense that companies could pay to have their products/services be the one my PDA recommends.
I proved it by pointing at the 10 yard fresh skid mark that started at the lane marker and moved toward the middle of my lane. Driver in front told the officer they thought they saw something in the road just as they changed lanes (right in front of me). Officer cited them for something like erratic driving (I don't really remember). It does happen, although probably not too often. Which is why the conventional wisdom says if you do the rear ending you're at fault.
What about hospitals? Power companies? Other vital services? We are seeing a growth in networks that can be life and death connected to the Internet. They could become collateral damage.
True, but good decisions in what "appears" to be a no-win scenario can be the cause of getting out of a 1 in a million chance of survival scenario. It also gives insight into the captain's world view. Is the captain a "take 'em all down with me" kind of person or a "Run away!" kind of captain, or some other kind? It allows those higher in the chain of command to have at least an idea of what kind of assignments to give in the future. I think it also allows the test taker to look more deeply into themselves to see what kind of person they really are when the chips are down. Assuming, of course, the student takes the test seriously enough.
Ah, gotcha! Yeah, folks tend to assume that if you support Obama you don't support Bush and vice versa. In truth, more and more folks are realizing that both have played a pretty big role in eliminating civil liberties.
Again, that's where competition comes in. I'll plug my agency's online store http://www.cincysight.com./ Prices equal to or better than Office Depot and Staples with no shipping charges, packages typically arrive within 2-3 business days of the order (admittedly not same day convenience), and returns are very easy (and during business hours you can call to talk to a person about your order). Now, I'm not saying I'm in favor or against the merger. I don't really care either way. But there really is more competition out there than folks think. It's just hard to stand out in the mass of online retailers.
Valid point. The line between freedom of expression and hate/porn/libel/threat/terrorism does tend to keep getting shifted around in the courts. So I guess that does put the final decision more in SCOTUS than congress at the end of the day (unless congress decides to make a law declaring everything legal).
AOL may have been awful but the side effect of having so many households suddenly all start driving up demand for Internet content and features certainly didn't hurt the early growth of the Internet as we know it.

I wish I had mod points. That's hilarious! Thanks for the chuckle.

Yup, that's why I install all of them at once! No virus is gonna get me (because my system won't boot)... :P
P.S. I agree. Diverse 3rd party products do help make the bad guys job harder.

Sadly, I was thinking the same thing... might be time to get started doing that before I also have 9000 cables to identify and remove... :P

You can auto-tune in Linux... http://www.onaips.com/wordpres... :P
I think I read a book about that once... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D... :P
So what you're saying is you would like an opportunity to bid on the contract the next time the project comes up? ;)
