Except that InfoSec kinda is warfare. Sure, it's not a shooting war, but it's no less violent, aggressive, and brutal. The phrase 'If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen' comes to mind. Because if you try and sugar-coat InfoSec, you'll end up with a lot of people entering the field that feel as if they got the bad end of a deal and hate their job.
You're not thinking of game updates in that, are you? I'd like to have as little active downtime as possible. So with a 50+ Mbps connection, I'm waiting on average less than 5 minutes to have every game updated and without lagging out the connection for over a half-hour as I would on a 10Mbps or even slower connection. Not sure about you, but I'll gladly take the extra speed if it means I'm spending far less time waiting to play games and actually playing them.
100Mbps may be a little excessive, but anything less than 50Mbps is starting to become pretty worthless with how many connected devices there are in homes plus the size of game downloads/patches.
So long as they offer an experience comparable to Steam, including weekly sales and the deeper discounts around Summer/Winter. I've got no issues with always-on, since I'm always connected anyway. Just give users a sane amount of offline time and it's all good.
Sad thing is, even with Verizon's analog to my own T-Mobile plan, Verizon is still the more expensive option. I own my phone outright, I'm not paying TMo a subsidy for the phone, and VZW is still 10$ more expensive at minimum.
Neither the source article nor the slashdot reposting bother to say WHERE the system was purchased from. A bit of negligence if you ask me, since it's a very important point of contention for the validity of the article. If the machine was purchased through a third-party vendor (i.e. TigerDirect, Newegg, Amazon, Best Buy), then yes, it shouldn't be a surprise that Superfish is still a part of these machines. However, if this system was bought directly through Lenovo, then there really is a problem here and Lenovo needs to fix it as soon as possible.
It's CM's own dialer, I don't run too much atop of stock CM with respect to built-in functions. From the look, it's based around the AOSP dialer for 4.*.*, specificly the stock 4.4.4 software itself. Just added functions written into it. Similar relationship with Trebuchet/GoogLancher.
Depends on your phone actually. I know that with mine (Samsung i9300 running CM11-M12), the dialer actually performs an OpenCNAM search on all inbound calls. So I do get more than just their supposed terminating number.
You've never smoked in your life, have you? Or if you did, the doseage was so long and spaced out enough that it didn't wreck you personally. For many others out there it's a debilitating experience. It's why I've encouraged any of the people I know that want to quit to take up vaping as substitute. At least from there, they've got more control over the process and can step down gradually without taking the excessively barbaric cold-turkey approach.
I wouldn't be surprised if more and more telemarketers were using some form of Skype Out implimentation. Can't trace that back to a user or address without an act of God against Microsoft.
Or perhaps we should change caller ID schemes? Instead of showing the number that the headers are spoofing, have CID show the actual billing number. That can't be spoofed as easily as the CID headers are.
No, net neutrality shouldn't mean that app developers are forced to go cross-platform. Everyone's writing software for Android and iOS because that's where the people are. People ditched Blackberry because they did nothing but sit on their initial success, letting Google, Apple, and even Microsoft completely overtake what they had. And now BB is crying foul because their competitors don't want to play nice with them? There's nothing that says or mandates interoperability between competitors in the marketplace. All this is, is Blackberry crying over the milk they spilled and begging for third-parties to try and make them somehow relevant again. If the tables were turned, I highly doubt that they'd want anyone to start attacking their precious crystal palace.
You'd think that. But remember that we've been in a bit of a gaming dark-age, where the min-sys-reqs for a game were relatively low. That is until the 8th gen consoles shipped and developers were finally able to raise the hardware bar from a C2D/2GB/8800GT for their absolute minimums. AC:U is the first AC game from the 8th gen hardware set. Black Flag, while available for Gen8, had it's PC version sourced from the Gen7 release with much lower system requirements than Unity.
The new 'trashcan' design ones are however built with laptop-modeled components. Designed to conserve as much space within it's overly minimal enclosure as physically possible.

The bank/card issuer. If both support EMV, then fraudulent transactions are handled the same way as they are under Mag-Stripe.
Exactly, and I'd like to wait far less than 2+ hours for game updates and DLC.

If someone doesn't know the difference between Mbps and MBps, they need to find a new geek news site.

You believed an article on the Onion? You should be sad, at your own idiocy.
Settings>Data Usage>(Insert Offending App Here)>Restrict Background Data checkbox. Tick that box on, and the app won't be able to use cellular data.
You can do the same on Android as well. It's not hard to restrict background data for offending software.

T-Mobile's already been doing this though. They're nipping at the heels of the top two enough to make at least AT&T panic.

That used to not be the case, surprisingly.
The PCBs. Take a moment to think about it. That is naturally where all the inductors are mounted.

Diablo 3, though before that it was Starcraft for N64 and Lost Vikings 2 for PS1.
