The title says increases chance of larger quake yet the summary says does not necessarily mean a big one will come. So which is it? Don't you dare think I'll read the article to see what it says.
why are strong passwords not required for these cameras?
Maybe that is what they need to do. Make the default password something gibberish like df73j5hdfg/5rtdf88GG so that users will change it when they set it up. Even if they change it to FluffyBunny22 at least it won't be the default.
It was the loss of outside power (and backup) and the relative inaccessibility of the plant due to environmental conditions that caused the meltdown.
FTFY. That's all Harlequin was saying. Yes, the tsunami and earthquake didn't cause the meltdown, but they made human mobility in the area a nightmare.
Cutting the generator and power alone won't stop humans from performing workarounds to avoid a meltdown. Catastrophic environmental conditions combined with cutting power will (or at least could).
[bringing this product] into the market when everyone from nike to apple already have a competing product with greater market share.
That's the only thing troll-ish I could spot. But really every product that isn't first can have that said. So I don't blame a company for trying to enter a market. I don't see great things when you enter with the same features at the same price. If you want to shake up the sector you need something to distinguish yourself or a price to move your product to gain market share. Did they do that? It's not for me to say.
What I really want is a watch band that doesn't scratch up my desk so I can wear it and tell what time it is without pulling out my phone. If it can tell me about notifications or some health info - great. If it lasts longer than a day great. If I can turn off sensors I don't care about to get better battery life, even better.
I get that there are ways to guesstimate how many X there are. But I think that laws should be clean cut. I'm fine with saying that "our goal is to find as many as possible" or even to say that "our goal is to find 90%", but if the law says we're to find 90% of asteroids larger than 140km within 20 years spending 300k/yr that's bullshit.
A law, and I don't even think it should be called a law (it should be called a budget), would be better if it said we're going to spend 300k/yr for 20 years looking for
asteroids larger than 140km. period. Leave the speculative 90% manure out of it.
Then the advocate could say that it's not enough money to find as many as he'd like, but he wouldn't be saying we're not going to live up to the law.
... inadequate to complete the identification of 90 percent of hazardous near-Earth objects 140 meters or greater by 2020 as mandated by the law.
This is the problem with Congress. How the hell do you make a law saying you need to identify 90% of something we can't validate at all? Who's going to say when you reach 90%? If we get clobbered by a rock it's clearly part of the 10% we didn't know, gee sorry.
Where I stand on this is that I want more actual information about the system. The differences between them. How to configure systemd. How to use systemd. Some of the bugs and workarounds that people know about. Constructive information that might actually help people.

It's clear that distros are moving toward systemd, so help users do so with the least pain possible and get more usable information out there.
It's completely possible that this information is out there and I just don't know where the "meat" is. I'm a linux user, not an admin by trade.
The problem here is that the Joe Schmoe regular user won't see any problem until it gets big enough and has a data breach then a large number of users have money magically disappear from their bank accounts and have little to no recourse. Then they will cry fowl. I'd like to say that the pitch forks would come out, but we know too well that the banks are too big to fail and CEO's are never accountable.
I agree. I've been using it for a few years now. It simply works and stays out of your way. I haven't had a problem finding out how to do something online. For many it might very well be the best OS you've never heard of. It just seems to be not well known for how well it works.

It depends on your definition of Minimum Requirements. Will it install and start, sure. Will it preform at a usable level, probably for the unwashed masses, though it may be a little slow at times.
Personally, for me, it's not worth looking at if it doesn't have at least 4GB of RAM. The OS likely chews on 1GB, a Browser likely 100-200 MB, Skype 130 MB, Office 50+ MB, SSMS 130 MB, VS 120 MB, etc. The point is that if you actually want to run anything those minimum specs are going to suck. They only account for getting the OS started, not actually having a system that's usable with any software. I think that is the problem.
I also think it's fairly ridiculous that software uses so much memory to do some of these things, but that's another story.
If the spec said that it required a 1.2 GHz CPU and 2GB RAM, but wouldn't stop you from installing and running it on 1 GHZ CPU with 1GB RAM it might make the intention clearer.
On top of that McKayla is famous, so it's certainly not porn. The kids in Iowa weren't famous, so instant porn.
This falls into the regular double standard, police selective enforcement, and such.
IMO, the naked human form by itself shouldn't be pornography. If we made nothing of it then it would stop being so sensational, but that's not likely to happen. Because we treat a naked picture as so sexual it then becomes sexual.
+1 I switched my wife and I over to Ting 2 months ago. First month was $45. This month might be a little bit more, but not much. I have to figure out why her iPhone 4 uses so much damn data (though I think she is part of the problem).
I, for one, never intend to go back to a contract model.
I was wondering about that. It seemed like there should have been an official statement.
Reporters often don't know anything about what they're reporting on. Yet they try, %diety bless 'em.
We shouldn't over react and trash them, we should try to educate them. Let them know why it's wrong and point them in the right direction. Nah, where's the fun in that...
That is an odd quote. 238 Celsius in 511 Kelvin. 35 Kelvin is -238 Celsius. I know parenthesis are used to represent negatives in excel, but I don't think that was the intention here, nor does that get communicated.
I remember the days when I would put one radio recording a cassette tape in front of another radio playing a cassette tape and whalla - instant duplicate. No it may not be the same thing as a digitally equivalent copy of an mp3, but it certainly could be pirated.
My feeling on the subject is the same as Mike's - if I can hear it, there's not a damn thing you can do to stop me from recording it if I were so inclined.
To say that the format is unpirateable, who the fck cares once I've got the music? The rest is fluff, it might be nice fluff, but let's not call it something it's not.
Take a look a LUbuntu. Load it into a VM and play around with it. It's familiar enough that Windows users can function well enough. It's based on Ubuntu (obviously) so it runs.deb files. You can harden it to suit your needs. You can google for what you don't know. If you do go the LiveCD route that works as well. If you choose not to have it do updates due to the slow connection, you could just wait until the next release and send a new disc.

I absolutely get what you're saying. I'm not sure why I didn't read it that way to begin with. I think it was early and I wasn't really awake yet.
After your post I had to go back and look at the original because I was convinced that it conflicted, but you are right that it does not.

The Surface Pro 3 I would really disagree on. It's pretty good (though not perfect). It is pricey however.
I never liked the MS mice.
I have no idea what Courier was (I assume past tense is correct)

It doesn't seem bad now, but this will destroy the internet if we allow it.
It doesn't? I currently have the choice of TWC (without contract) or ATT (with contract). I'll give you one guess which one I'm using.
And I realize that's more choice than a lot of people have.
How exactly do you propose to boycott the broadband providers we're allowed to choose from?

This is what I came to ask. It seems to defy all logic, but it is an official statement - so what did I really expect?
522 DODGE VIPER 5.3%
I guess the cops are too busy complementing the guy on his car to be bothered writing up that ticket.
Corvette was also pretty low.
420 CHEVROLET CORVETTE 15.2%
Although someone else did make that point that drivers of these vehicles know when to let loose and when to hold back.

Saying something sexual, is NOT sexual assault.
That was before the PC revolution, and I'm not talking about computers here.
I can think of one, and it's the oldest profession.
