A configurable braille keyboard and perhaps even a braille screen (by turning on/off the haptic feedback of a key) at the cost of a "standard" keyboard.
People WANT a car manufacturer to make quality products they stand behind and are (relatively) cheap to own and operate as well. GM/VW/Honda could learn something about what the consumer wants. We don't want expensive mechanical hybrids or miniature cars with 50 mile range.
I've heard the argument and I somewhat agree with it yet I've yet to see anyone replace bash with Python as their 'default' terminal. It's just 'simpler' to learn the shitty language to do what it is built to do than look up and implement the correct order into a function call every time I want to do something.
Because this: from os import listdir from os.path import isfile, join onlyfiles = [f for f in listdir(mypath) if isfile(join(mypath, f))]
May be not as shitty but still not as simple as this: ls -l
They are there, you're just not moving in the right circles to hear about them. And typically we only hear about these geniuses after they're dead, when they have a body of work behind them that somehow qualifies them. The art world is full of art, there were more cubists than just Picasso or surrealists like Magritte but somehow they became the most famous ones, both of them I think through controversy.
We hear about a handful of people even in history because they're famous for some stolen, missing or opulent works or because they started a movement or they were somehow important in their time because they worked for the popes, kings and rich people in their times and they were the owners of these huge galleries that had dozens of pupils employed that did the actual work. If you ever took art history, you hear about a BUNCH more, such as students of these 'masters' that eventually start their own gallery and sign their own work.
That may be to pander to their new majority of Islamic people. Islam requires that women do not share the same close spaces with men; ideally women would be following 10m behind their man.
So I must be a bad parent then. I don't really care who my children shower with in a group setting, it's healthy for children to see the different anatomies and it's actually a bad parent that would want to shape their children in any particular religious connotations of sexuality. Your kids will find out eventually what the bits are for and in your world view they won't be educated or ready for it when their body and hormones are ready for it.
The internet you use may be walled gardens. I like my TCP/IP though, perhaps I'm one of the few that still remembers that we still have an Internet without Facebook and Google.
Actually personal satellite dishes and even 2 way transponders for satellites are quite common in the Middle East. That's the primary way that people there get TV and the more rich also get data and phone communication that way. Al Jazeera for example is primarily satellite based broadcasting.
No we don't. The Internet considers censoring as damage and routes around it. Each country has telephone lines and satellite communications. If you shut down the "Internet" from routing through it's common carriers (fiber etc) someone can hang a few thousand 56k modems on their phone systems and call in to their neighbors or even through the censoring country and connect all their traffic that way. Same goes for satellite, just bounce it around a few times and it can come from anywhere.
That's how Syrians and Iranians were still able to connect after their countries shut down their internets.
Sorry, wrong fruit in translation/memory. It's apricots and banana's that are high in phenylalanine. From American Cancer Society: Aspartame is made by joining together the amino acids aspartic acid and phenylalanine. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are found naturally in many foods.
The problem is that most of these additives are actually not at all dangerous to people either short or long term. It's the health food industry that wants you to be scared of it but just like homeopathy which you'll find in the same isles there is no evidence to it. Yes, lots of HFCS will cause diabetes but so will the raw cane sugar in similar amounts. A lot of these "additives" are equally found in vegetables and fruits occurring naturally, anyone who is scared of sugar-replacers like aspartame should never eat strawberries that have aspartame in much higher dosages. Red food colorings are oh-so unnatural ground up beetles or beet juice.
To kill someone using electricity you need to deliver certain amounts of energy in a short time (think Coulombs not Volts/Amps). There is also a range for which it works, too little and nothing happens, too much and you're just clamping someone's heart after which they likely recover (although you could've caused severe burn and internal organ damage).
You could potentially kill someone based off a battery based device but you need to modify the signal quite a bit.
If it's American documents released, there would've been 50 comments in the first 5 minutes begging for military trials and how these leaks are damaging to the country, how we need to protect our military and their assets. People were crying out for the DoJ to arrest, prosecute, stow away in Guantanamo and even execute the leakers. Now that it's primarily about other countries, I don't see any of that outcry. I don't see any media, mobs or prosecutors demanding for these leakers to go through anything like what Assange, Swartz or Snowden are going through.
I hope they find a Hillary/Obama/Sanders threesome somewhere in there.
Because copyright law is very specific in what can be copyrighted and what can't. This is a free speech issue, they want to silence all critique, derivatives and academic use of their material, things that are completely legal in copyright law except when it's done on a computer (due to DMCA). On YouTube many are using DMCA processes to silence opposition views like atheistic channels without any legal grounds even though they are committing perjury by legal definitions. They want to get rid of any repercussions for acting as the thought police.
No and neither does it in many places in the US. Unlike what people would like you to believe, rape has a very well defined meaning in law. What the rest is and inappropriate touching etc may fall under sexual/indecent assault/battery/harassment.The worst thing about rape definitions in either law or feminism-rape is that only women can be raped by males and although the law is making progress in that area in many jurisdictions, feminism is causing a lot of regressions in society for both males as well as homosexuals and transsexuals.
We (the west) is funding it through our dependence on oil which goes to the ISIS-funding countries. We have in the past funded ISIS/Al-Qaeda directly and we also weaponized Iraq (which most people trained there became ISIS fighter pretty much as soon as the US pulled out).
The government also can't force you not to say something. You still have first amendment rights. You can talk about your NSL letter at the bar, to a journalist etc. The only reason people can't say something is when they have themselves bound by a business-type contract and then you just have to wonder what type of contract they have with the government/three-letter-agencies.
If I ever make a site/business public, I'd have it all automated so the feds are warned: all complaints and notices sent to my business legal addresses are automatically cc'ed to the relevant customers or all customers worldwide as well.
All these companies can legally send relevant correspondence to their customers as well. There is no law that says you can't (corporations are people and the people have a first amendment) and the notice in these letters is like the copyright/privacy notices on bottoms of e-mail, totally irrelevant legally speaking. The problem is that all these companies are playing along with the NSA because they don't want to bite the hand that feeds.
The developers should indeed make the program check the certificate IF they deem it necessary. OCSP/CRL's are only useful when SSL is used to authenticate a host, not just to encrypt. SSL IMHO should not be used for authentication in the first place, that's not what the protocol was designed for, we have Kerberos and other encrypted methods of authentication over unsafe channels.
To make outgoing calls just to check OCSP/CRL's which incurs a lot of extra time and resources for every call (although there is some caching possible) when in 99.9% an OCSP/CRL doesn't even exist because usually you're dealing with self-signed and internal certificates, is just ludicrous. You shouldn't expect libraries to do things it previously wasn't doing just because some developers/sysadmins are morons.
It's the same reason I don't like OpenSSL removing support for libraries between minor versions, because some developers may need it and instead of fixing the attacks by having developers/sysadmins fix their setups (ala ssl_methods = !SSLv2 !SSLv3 !RC4) or end software (Postfix, Dovecot etc) removing the feature, we're just removing support for features forcing rewrites of existing software that didn't have problems with the issue to begin with.
Depends on where you live. I can get a 1Gbps/1Gbps for $1200/mo and $10k for the dig at my house because the fiber passes my house.
Business packages ala TWC Business Class is just home Internet with slightly faster technical service (1h on location vs 3 days) but you still pay through the nose for not-really-dedicated Internet (although they do offer it at even more exorbitant prices). If you are near a fiber (which most business ares of a city would be), you can get away with a lot cheaper options as long as you can terminate yourself on your end (they don't give you a modem, they give you a fiber/wire).
100,000 users @ 50Mbps is ~10-50Gbps uplink at the colo with these providers. That will set you back ~2-10k/mo if you do not peer. Peering on your own fibers allows you to do this for practically free.
TLS/SSL certificate revocation has historically never been and still isn't very robust. It's been around for decades, I remember trying to work with Verisign (I think they're still around although their certificates were awfully expensive) in the early 2000's when CRL's were introduced and more down than up and they didn't think it was very important, I simply ignored it then since most CRL servers either didn't exist, didn't work or were overloaded.
In API's the certificates that may be accepted are typically well defined where any random certificate on the other side just won't work, valid or not. I know PHP, Python and Perl allow/require you to define a certificate store where trusted certs live and it is relatively well documented not to use the systems' store unless you trust all the root certificates in it.
In addition, you can't just change a commonly used API like cURL and suddenly require things that were previously not required for no good reason. It's the same reason SSL libraries support(ed) old versions of SSL that were dead decades ago (RC4, SSLv2/v3) until an actual protocol flaw comes up.
TLDR: It's not a problem for anyone knowledgeable of the situation, API's don't just connect to random sites on the Internet and trust their data (or shouldn't) and those that do should be using the built-in features to check OCSP/CRL's.
SCO's only "asset" is this case. This is just a strategy for the officers/lawyers of the company to squeeze the last remaining money out of the accounts before it's forced to give the remains to IBM (quote: "given SCO’s bankruptcy and its explanation that it has de minimis financial resources beyond the value of the claims on which the Court has granted summary judgment for IBM")
In a lot of chains your food has already been prepared by a robot in a factory somewhere. I know because I used to work for a company that used to make the machines that do so. Put raw meat and produce one end of the factory and packages comes out the other with the only human intervention being lab samples and mechanics. A lot of chains are also putting those annoying little tablets to order food/drinks but nobody wants to use them. Chains also continue to pay minimum wage while better restaurants don't. I don't see a lot of need for more technology in the kitchen/restaurant besides perhaps food safety stuff which is a net expense to most, not an investment.
