"construction effort that took nearly 2 decades and cost â1 billion"
So...a tiny fraction of a percent of what's currently being spent on political wars, on a technology that could save the planet (instead of just creating more enemies and terrorists).
Will it make a difference? The horse has already bolted. Encryption exists.
Not that it's needed, I can say "The fish is in the wolf" on national TV and the FBI won't know when the attack will happen.
Nope. This is just about not letting encryption happen by default on all our messaging. It's espionage, it's political control, it's subversion of democracy.
(ie. the people in power know what's trending after last night's presidential speech, the opposition doesn't).
I want to know if all the bad apostrophes in the summary were applied with a belt-fed apostrophe gun. Putting that many in by hand would have taken ages.
Except...this time it's true. The Gasoline car manufacturers _really do_ own the patents for making large automotive batteries. That's why Tesla has to make do with using several thousand tiny 18650s instead of a few big cells.
Diesels will run just fine on many different types of oil. People actually run them on used cooking oil from fryers and stuff for a fractino of the cost.
The only thing stopping you from doing it is availability.
I'd like to ban the lone "=" operator so it's "==" for comparison, ":=" for assignment with all the other two char operators like != and += intact. So many languages try to be "smart" instead of just making the difference more explicit.
Here's a nickel, son. Go get yourself a proper compiler.
I see this as a marked strengthening of Apple's platform. If truly not even Apple can unlock or decrypt the phones, then that's a huge benefit to using the platform.
Either that or they're just trying to sell you a new phone.
"All our old phones are hackable, this one isn't!"
(The exploit will be released a few weeks before the next model is launched)
I wanna know how come that's not part of the "Neanderthal diet".
Why are those people holding back from the true Neanderthal experience? It's well known that germs and parasites reduce allergies and all those modern "illnesses" that living in cities brought us.
Along with that, I think somebody should point out that fuit juice is almost as bad as soda.
True...!...but it's kinda difficult to drink massive amounts of juice. Try it sometime - your brain says "stop drinking now!" much sooner than with soda.
Soda is concocted so that the sugar goes down easily.
Maybe if you had bottled water, you'd drink it instead of coke and other nasty things. Despite popular belief, tap water, even with a Britta, is nothing like bottled water which is actually nice to drink.

Business as usual, then.

This is just some politician who saw the "PS4" stories and decided he needed some new offices. The plain facts never entered into it.
Film at 11.

Has anyone tried running a PC without Adobe Flash?
Can that PC be used to surf the Net?
Any suggestion would be very much appreciated !
Assuming you have a proper web browser: You can get plugins that stop flash from running automatically. That's almost the same thing as "no flash".

Yep. We wouldn't let self-proclaimed civil engineers build bridges.
Why do we let self-proclaimed programmers write important software?
You know of a way of breaking AES encryption?
Weird. It's almost as if the very basic principles of encryption went flying right over your head...
Clue: The WD hard drives mentioned in the story below this one are encrypted using AES.

Yep. Why do you think all those stupid apps you download need so many permissions?
They can probably turn on your microphone/camera at will (among other things).

Will it be well-received?
NO.
But the bosses will discard the Pesky Facts and do it anyway. Just to show people who the boss is.
But no, it's not far fetched that it affects some of their pilots.
Not everybody in the air force is a pilot.
Pilots have a minimum height requirement, the bottom end of that chart doesn't apply to them.

Sucrose gets metabolized into fructose before it can be absorbed:

Yes.
And how do they 'filter' it you may ask...?
Answer: Not much. DO you see any trucks full of 'residue' driving out of those bottling plants? Me either.

Bullshit.

How does it feel to be sitting at that table, Chas?
If the garbage collectors don't come and pick up after me, how it it my fault that the city is a mess? I'm _paying_ them to clean up, dammit!
And those companies pay about the same amount per megalitre of water as you do per bottle!
Yep. Is there a single reason why soda companies would WANT people to keep on drinking soda? Soda has water+ingredients. Ingredients cost money.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's really the soda companies paying for all the 'Sugar is poison!' stories.
Simple: I use my special 'millennial' GIF viewer.
I believe you're mistaken in referencing Iraq. This incident happened in Afghanistan.
You're saying it's a different war and you got +5 insightful? Jeez. I think I see where the _real_ problem is.
Don't worry, this is Germany so something WILL happen to people at the company. This investigation won't be swept under the carpet.
...and once every ten minutes? Jeez.
I've got some funny cat GIFs that would play for a million years if I only change the image once per millennium. Can I have my prize for being clever?
