Any phone that you can get with regular monthly OS updates or you can install LineageOS on
when someone asks me to look for a phone i tell them to 1) use GSMArena's phone finder (or whatever their prefer) to search for a phone 2) check the phone they find against the list of devices that LineageOS supports https://download.lineageos.org...
Currently i'm using a Moto E 2015 LTE phone (surnia), but my next phone won't be a Moto - when they launched this model they promised it would have regular OS updates without having to install alternate OSs but then they fucked us and even discontinued all support for the phone. They sold it with a 2 year warranty but dumped its support 6 months after they launched it.
looks like the company has quite a few such "protection" apps deployed on the play store and they even use their stock ticker symbol in the developer name, lol. https://play.google.com/store/...
ALL major online email providers (google mail, yahoo, microsoft, etc.) and all major company networks work internally by using a VPN between the various locations that those companies have around the country/world... => they are going to be hacked... and this will raise an enormous shitstorm.
these days they dropped the sourceforge crap for their own crap built-in into the main installer, silently downloaded in the background from sites such as coapr14pool _DOT_ com AND THEN executed while having elevated full admin rights. This is typical trojan dropper / infector / keylogger behavior.
oops.. small case of "spoke too soon"/"foot in mouth", i realize this is from before the "domain created" date, so it must be the site maintained by the previous owners of the domain name, name that had expired by the time the current owner registered it.
Anyway, it's a proof that "XboxOne" was already used by someone else in the context of computer games related stuff even since the year 2002 and IMHO should have not been awarded as a registered trademark to MS...
The only problem with Avast is that you have to re-register every year. Minor, I know, but a pain nonetheless.
the bonus with avast's system is that it doesn't actually make you PROVE that the email address is YOURS (code/link sent via email), it only asks for an email address and that's where it stops, so i've taken the habit of using @avast.com email addresses.
The first thing i used was postmaster@avast (:D ) but when it started to complain that it's already used i switched to _current timestamp-YYYYMMDDHHMM_@avast, works like a charm
+1 for Google Groups, it removes A LOT of the hassle of managing forum for a site, especially for spam management (spam prevention logic is global across all the forums they host, if someone is detected spamming in one forum it can be nuked from everywhere at once). I use it quite successfully for a few sites.
Google even allows EMBEDDING the page via an iframe, with an url that will not load the usual Google Groups page header:
PS: the password field itself allows more than 16 chars, but if you enter more characters, when you try to login you get back a message telling you that the password is wrong. I can only login if i enter ONLY the first 16 chars.
well, i figured it would be some problem with the graphics drivers and that's why i switched to using the kubuntu 12.04 LTS dvd instead of the normal ubuntu/unity one, i've been having weird issues with unity lately (invisble mouse cursor and ignored keyboard input on a fujitsu siemens Amilo La1703 notebook - but KDE works perfectly)
http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download ( for those that fell recently into the linux soup and don't know what this is, this is practically the same thing as ubuntu 12.04 LTS but with the KDE interface as default instead of unity. )
Perhaps the WorldCon could claim breach-of-contract and sue to have their money refunded. That might be a possible avenue they could win.
Even if they win, the refund in this case would be ZERO because that's exactly how much WorldCon paid to ustream for streaming the event. There was no special contract with ustream, WorldCon CHOSE TO USE a free anonymous streaming account and that comes automatically with copyright-enforcement protection, this was explained by ustream on their blog:
As background, our system works like this in order to support a large volume of broadcasters using our free platform. Users of our paid, ad-free Pro Broadcasting service are automatically white listed to avoid situations like this and receive hands-on client support.
translation: since WorldCon was not white-listed that means they decided to stream the live event without signing and paying for a dedicated contract with the broadcaster and as a result were applied the regular copyright filter that regular anonymous broadcasters were subjected to.
almost zero weight in orbit...maybe at present, but it has a hell of a lot of MASS AND INERTIA.
scotch tape can't keep it fixed in the same place when the station fires its orbital adjustment thrusters and it will move and trash around like a wild bantha when the station is doing orbit adjustments.
hmm.. it seems i got the equivalency wrong... it's the other way around:
maximum pressure for the.308 Win cartridge is 62,000 psi, while the 7.62x51max is 50,000 psi.
it is normally fine to shoot quality 7.62x51 NATO ammo in a gun chambered for the.308 Winchester You CAN encounter problems going the other way, however. A commercial.308 Win round can exceed the max rated pressure for the 7.62x51. So, you should avoid putting full-power.308 Win rounds into military surplus rifles that have been designed for 50,000 psi max. source: http://www.6mmbr.com/308win.html
I didn't read if there was ammo to go with the rifle. No ammo the rifle is not much better then a baseball bat or golf club. Both of which are legal to have in DC and make a better club then the rifle does.
Ammo is relatively easy to get, the rifle had no ammo in the box because the rifle uses standard 7.62 X 51 mm NATO rounds. You can load it with commercial.308 Winchester rounds if NATO-standard rounds are not available. http://www.sigsauer.com/CatalogProductDetails/sig716-patrol-rifle.aspx
WARNING: NEVER USE THEM THE OTHER WAY AROUND! Never use NATO rounds in rifles made only for regular Winchester ammo. A 7.62 X 51 mm NATO round is slighlty thicker, packs more explosive powder than a.308 civilian round and might jam and shatter the chamber of a regular weapon, leading to serious injuries for the user.
