Because when these guys fail to prove that the defendant's computer is the one they claim, any lawyer worth his or her degree will slap them with a defamation lawsuit.
Fail.
They aren't out to prove anything. They're sending out random letters in the hope that there's a few people out there that are stupid enough to pay up.
I have yet to come across a voltage regulator that doesn't run hot. Typically, it's one of the hottest components in an electrical circuit. And we're integrated this into a slab of silicon already well-known for getting so hot it can catch fire?
Gee. If only Intel had some proper engineers like you who could think of clever things like that...
Only by rooting the phone and installing the "open" version of Android which may or may not have drivers for hardware which has been modified by the carrier to make it cheaper (cut out some sections of the graphics chip or use a second-rate non-standard camera or whatever)
Those "free" phones they give out? Yeah, about those...
Total disaster, never happens in real world, not virtual one. Except for all the times when 'real world' currencies undergo devaluations, revaluations, forced exchanges, just plain old inflation, all the things that lead to currencies collapsing.
You can remember your currency collapsing during your lifetime?
The earth may be getting warmer, but is that so bad?
Yes.
the carbon that is now being released must have once been in the atmosphere for living things to use while they were alive, then died and were buried. Therefore in effect our civilization is RETURNING the carbon into the air.
That's all true, but knowingly returning the atmospheric composition to Paleozoic levels will lead to economic collapse, mass migrations, wars, famine, increased natural disasters and the loss of pretty much everything that makes your basement comfortable. Think: No Cheetos, no Mountain Dew, angry people constantly breaking in and hassling you, maybe even kicking you out so you have to sleep in the woods.
Is it a user's password or is it Apple's? Is there a back door in the algorithm? Is it an inherently weak algorihm, but the police don't know what it is so they can't launch an attack?
Inquiring minds want to know!
If there's a "seven week delay" they're probably brute-forcing something.
I'm still trying to figure out how being able to print a crappy single-shot pistol using a complicated $1000 will allow terrorists to "walk away scott-free".
(As opposed to using a $10 handgun bought on the streets...or even a $300 handgun bought in a gun shop)
Hey, if some guy around the world stole for me and skimmed a little off the top, would I care too much if I received $30,000,000 instead of the $35,000,000 I was thinking I would receive?
Don't give up your day job and go into drug dealing, it won't work out for you.

Actually, the one practically undisputed big selling point of Java is backwards compatibility.
Was backwards compatibility.
Before Oracle took over.
Nowadays all you're backwards compatible with is the old exploits.

Wonder if they sell it on eBay...)
Update: Yes they do... 8-)
I'm posting from Spain, where black pudding is called "morcilla". I think blood sausages are eaten all over Europe.
(I only had haggis about five times in my life, there's no place I know that sells it, snif. Wonder if they sell it on eBay...)

Compared to eating snails, insects are cute.
Or prawns. Ever take a real good look at a prawn before eating it?
I'll eat trotters and black pudding with gusto!
And haggis...? Can't get enough of that!
Try reading your service agreement sometime...
Probably a lot less than getting it from a cow.
Slicing up a full-grown cow is easy, sure, but you're ignoring the years of feeding, housing, medical treatments, etc. that went into making that cow.
Wild insects are loaded with insecticides.
This word "insecticide". I don't think it means what you think it means.
Every westerner I see trying them on TV is like, "Wow! That's good!!"
I'm more worried that they're *paying* for it. With taxpayer money.
Who worked out that little deal?

I was expecting to hate it but I actually enjoyed it.
Didnt they tell us 350PPM was when doom and gloom would start?
No.

Why Allan Savory’s TED talk about how cattle can reverse global warming is dead wrong
PS: Typing "Allan Savory criticism" into google comes with a long list of articles like that one.
Morale of the story, planet gets hotter, planet gets colder. Everything else sorts its self out.
Yes, but this time we're doing it deliberately and we have a lot of people/cities on the coasts.
Does that seem smart to you?

...cannot be trusted to use a revision control system without causing a mess that somebody else will have to clean up
One has to wonder what sort of code he's capable of producing if he can't even do that.
Facebook can just give them the data if they ask.

At some point, it would have been cheaper to pay another country to take it away for reprocessing and vitrification
At some point it becomes cheaper to get off your ass and build a breeder reactor to eat it all up.
Plus you get some more electricity...
