I have been using the LG V10 for over 2 years. It has a notch for the front facing camera in the upper left corner of the screen. The screen to the right of the notch is used for notifications and system use such as clock, WiFi/BT/Data icons. The only thing Apple do was move it to the center and allow applications use of the area to the left and right of the notch. (Idiotic idea if you ask me as now apps break if not specifically designed to account for the notch. Amazing how Apple invented something 2 years after it had already been on the market.
Note: Android apps continued to work when the notch was introduced on LG phones. Apple's apps broke when the iPhone X came out.
I love paper ballots. Now let's make better readers. Suggestions for different designs:
1. Standalone reader that can be placed such that the exit of reader #1 can be placed next to the entrance of reader #2 (etc...) for immediate recount during elections.
2. Standalone reader that has 3 scanner heads. All 3 heads must read each ballot the same to exit to the verified bin. Any differences and the ballot is kicked back out the entrance to be attempted again. Voter is confident that if the ballot is accepted, the votes have been properly counted.
Any suggestions for secure ways to transfer vote totals from polling locations to state election headquarters?
With the huge recall in airbags, I have not heard of one replaced airbag rendering a car inoperable requiring the owner to pay to have someone diagnose and repair the incompatibility. How many times have we heard of a computer security patch causing a BSOD or computer crash because of bad or incomplete testing from the manufacturer?
Some people wait and verify that a security patch doesn't end up as the next story on Slashdot rendering thousands of PCs unusable because "Oh, the patch seems to be incompatible with [fill-in-the-blank]".
So the article is somewhat suggesting we buy our ink from China to print money? The same country that keeps trying (successfully some times) to hack our businesses and government? It isn't like they would print any counterfeit US money themselves, right? I'm guessing they would put lead in it like they do all the toys and other crap we get from them.
Valet mode can only be set when car is off. When enabled, as soon as the key is inserted the video starts recording with no audio. The screen flashes with the consent to be recorded message and a consent button to enable audio recording as well as enabling the car to be started. If the valet doesn't press consent, he can not start the car.
Any other method cannot guarantee that the valet was aware of the recording, especially since a different valet may retrieve the vehicle.
IMHO and IANAL, an imminent threat where they would need to search the phone would be if the phone contained info on a bomb about to go off or info on an abduction where the abducted person is expected to be killed or harmed. Having drugs on the suspect or a suspect speeding is not an imminent threat.
... that we have to read a Florian Mueller's post to get this information rather than be able to read Groklaw's PJ giving us the low-down. You know though that Apple MUST be trying to overcharge if even he states: "... I face the first situation in which I don't merely disagree with Apple but am rather wondering whether it has lost its mind."
I have seen enough of the local reports to know this is not the case. And interview with one witness says as soon as the man was shot, he gurgled up blood and fell backward into the witness, so I suspect that witness was close enough to see what happened. And if you were holding popcorn and get shot, see what happens to the popcorn. I'm sure he wanted to place it down nicely but he never got the chance.
27602. (a) A person shall not drive a motor vehicle if a television receiver, a video monitor, or a television or video screen, or any other similar means of visually displaying a television broadcast or video signal that produces entertainment or business applications, is operating and is located in the motor vehicle at a point forward of the back of the driver's seat, or is operating and the monitor, screen, or display is visible to the driver while driving the motor vehicle.
Key words are "IS OPERATING". If the Google Glasses were off or he did not see them ON then the ticket should be thrown out. According to what I read the monitor must be turned ON and visible to the driver to be a violation.

While it is stated: "... technology has advanced and now the images are processed and displayed on a large screen in high-definition video.", the cost of the technology and the "overage" in cost per procedure goes hand in hand. It may now only take 15 minutes to preform what used to take 75 minutes, but if the doctors are only reimbursed for their time for the procedure, they would never be able to afford the technology which would put them back to 75 minute procedures.
This technology not only helps to produce more accurate test results, but allows more patients to be able to have these tests each day. That all comes at a cost. If a procedure is reimbursed $100 for a supposed 60 minute procedure using older technology, and that procedure now only takes 15 minutes using newer technology, More of the $100 has just been shifted from doctor salary to technology cost.
Instead of cutting the cost of the procedures, they need to find the doctors and facilities that are scamming the system, billing for procedures that aren't actually performed. (Like Columbia/HCA that Governor Rick Scott of Florida resigned from as Chief Executive in 1997 amid a controversy over the company's business and Medicare billing practices. He was not implicated, but the company ultimately admitted to fourteen felonies and agreed to pay the federal government over $600 million.)
I have no problem with the carriers having 1 year retention of SMS messages if law enforcement have no problem with getting a court ordered warrant before they can access them. The warrant needs to be narrowed to a particular phone number and for a specific date/time range and not a blanket "everything in this zip code during the month of July".
More than 1 year retention required by Law enforcement and they aren't doing their jobs properly. And sorry Columbo, no peeking without probable cause.
The driver of the car in front of you jams on his brakes. The road is wet and your car can't stop in time. There is a truck to the left so your brand new intelligent car decides to swerve to the right because there is only a small object there and won't cause as much damage. Too bad for the student walking home from school.
This idea, while the concept has good intentions, just sounds like a disaster waiting to happen with a huge lawsuit for an ending.
I use multiple programs on my PCs as not every program will detect everything. I currently use Microsoft Security Essentials, SpyBot Search and Destroy, and the free AVG antivirus. The 3 of these run continuously and can be configured to auto update. I don't usually see much of a hit in CPU usage as I have MSE and AVG set for different scheduled scan times and updates.
A couple of times a month, depending on my Internet usage, I will also run the free versions of SuperAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. As stated in previous comments, a few of these will detect keygens as malware. I usually set all of these programs to ask me what I want to do with detected files.
As with any new antivirus program you install, take the time to immediately update and run a full scan.
Can't the TSA just have the people scanned twice? The 1st scan has the person facing the scanner to get the view as shown in the videos, and then the 2nd scan with the person turned 90 degrees. This would make it much harder to get something through the scanner without it showing up. Of course the body is usually wider side to side than it is front to back, but looking at the different body types that go through the scanner now, I don't think that would be an issue for most people.
This method would take twice as long to process a person, but is still faster than a pat-down and more secure than a metal scanner. Better yet, place the metal scanner at the exit of the Body Scanner as well as using the 2 scan method and it would be all the more secure.
1. KIM DOTCOM, MEGAUPLOAD LIMITED, VESTOR LIMITED, FINN BATATO, JULIUS BENCKO, SVEN ECHTERNACH, MATHIAS ORTMANN, ANDRUS NOMM, and BRAM VAN DER KOLK, the defendants, and others known and unknown to the Grand Jury, were members of the “Mega Conspiracy,” a worldwide criminal organization whose members engaged in criminal copyright infringement and money laundering on a massive scale with estimated harm to copyright holders well in excess of $500,000,000 and reported income in excess of $175,000,000.
All throughout the Indictment the defendants are referred to as the Mega Conspiracy. Isn't that a bit unprofessional? Do they indict people being accused of murder as "The Murderer" as if that person has already been found guilty? I would hope that the jurors don't have access to this document as I would find it quite slanted. If I couldn't trust the writers to print facts as opposed to opinion, then I would as a juror find it my duty to consider jury nullification as an option to balance the justice scales.
I don't encourage copyright infringement but I do believe in a fair trial and use of the term "Mega Conspiracy" throughout the indictment to refer to the defendants doesn't sound quite fair to me.
While this list is a good start to see which companies to avoid doing business with, I would like to see a list of companies that are vocal about being against SOPA so that I can direct my spending dollars towards them. If a lot of people shifted their spending dollars towards those companies against SOPA, maybe the loss of income may change the pro-SOPA mentality.
My IE7 doesn't render correctly either. The menu that should be on the left side (at least it does in my firefox browser) shows up way on the right on IE7. The stories are partially covered on the right side by my karma and poll boxes. The horizontal scroll bar thinks there is stuff way off to the right, even though it appears to be empty. The webpage doesn't seem to size correctly to the actual browser size. (My Firefox browser seems to render everything better.)
"RIAA lawyers have told the judge that LimeWire costs the record labels about $500 million in lost music sales every month."
So with LimeWire shut down, will record sales increase by $500 million every month? Hopefully they will use current sales figures including the 2 months AFTER the shutdown to calculate the lost sales prior to the shutdown and not just take the RIAA lawyers word for it. My guess is they will see little, if any, sales difference after the shutdown.
I would love to see them test a dome home. They are supposed to withstand hurricane and tornado conditions. They are about the same cost to build (or so I have heard and read.)
Thank you Ron Gilbert! At last someone finally gets what I have been saying for a long time and has the gonads to say it out loud. (Be careful though Ron, some blogs will ban you for such treachery. I know because I tried to say this very same thing and got my account deleted from a female blog dictator.)
Now, don't get me wrong. The iThings are very nice products from a hardware point of view with the MAJOR exception of no user replaceable batteries. (Sorry, but having to spend $79 to replace the battery in a $99 iPhone 3GS is just plain idiotic.) The hardware is attractive, user friendly, and usually well designed (with another exception of the user-touchable antenna which de-tunes it.)
I just have a major issue with someone else telling me what I can or cannot install for apps on my devices. If I am paying that much, I feel I have bought the right to install what I please as long as it doesn't interfere with the phone company network.
I am currently using a Box Office by Patriot purchased thru CompUSA (TigerDirect) and it supports Linux kernal 2.4.1.0 or above as well as various Windows flavors and Mac 9.0 and above.
The box supports a good number of video formats including MPEG-1 (MPG/MPEG/DAT) up to 1080p, MPEG-2 (MPG/MPEG/VOB/IFO/TS/TP/M2TS) up to 1080p, MPEG-4 (MP4/AVI/MOV) up to 1080p, DivX 3/4/5/6 & Xvid (AVI/MKV) up to 1080p, H.264 * AVC (TS/AVI/MKV/MOV/M2TS) up to 1080p, Real Video 8/9/10 (RM/RMVP) up to 720p, FLV, WMV9 (1080p) and ISO (1080p). Many audio formats including the regulars plus OGG and FLAC. Image formats include JPEG, BMP and PNG.
The box has fast Ethernet, 2x USB 2.0 ports and internal 2.5" SATA HDD connections. (HDD sold seperately, but very easy to install.) A USB wireless adapter is available, but came included in my package. You can stream video from network storage devices.
Best of all, it is small, quiet, has a remote control, HDMI output as well as composite A/V and S/PDI outputs.
