If your usage stays below a certain threshold, and Amazon T2 Micro is actually free for a year (and then it's as little as ten bucks a month or even a little less). I'm using one to test out Wiki and project management software as a test server that will eventually be installed on our company servers once approved by IT.
This one line from the summary shouldn't be ignored: "(Local laws, however, could still come into play in certain situations, as several states require the consent of two parties in order for a conversation to be recorded legally.)"
Here's a map of 'eavesdropping' (recording) laws by state:
Washington, California, Nevada, Montana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, and Florida all seem to require two-party notification before recording conversations, otherwise it's deemed as 'eavesdropping' and illegal.
Wouldn't a mini-tank style design (with treads) work just fine for most applications? Make it semi-autonomous so it can follow soldiers around or be sent to destinations, could probably manage a heavier payload (because it doesn't need to balance) which means more fuel (greater range) and more applications. Could be used to carry wounded soldiers, etc. Also probably much quieter. The whole thing could be roughly snowmobile-sized.
Seems like having legs provides limited advantages when combined with the disadvantages.
It's not a virtual machine, it's a tool that would hypothetically allow developers to compile their native Android code to a Windows app and keep all functionality intact. Basically a super easy way to port their apps to Windows phone.
Not really. From what I understand, the plan was to make it easy for developers to port over apps they wrote for Android without having to re-write it for Windows (an automated conversion), not to provide a compatibility layer. Basically to re-compile the code in such a way that it becomes a native Windows app.
Yep. Artificial life is the future. It's only the sentimental notion that humans are 'special' that causes people to undergo severe mental gymnastics in order to justify the thought of humans colonizing the stars.
One day, we will create artificial life that will be as intelligent as we are (moreso, likely). It will not need to breathe or eat food and it will not grow old. It doesn't have to carry an entire environment along with it. It doesn't need gravity. It could soar through space for a thousand years, stopping to collect resources along the way - energy and raw materials. It could change itself to adapt to all conditions. It could replicate itself 'asexually' and terraform and colonize entire planets by itself.
And the first alien life it meets will almost certainly be another artificial being from another world not unlike itself.
This is the only thing that really makes sense, long-term.
People will object to this because they hold onto the notion that humans are special and the end-all, be-all pinnacle of what Earth has to offer to the universe. But there is no shame in the notion of humans staying put on Earth while ushering in the development of our successors.
These artificial beings will be our children. And while they won't be 'human', they will be *Earthlings*, and they will be our creation. They will carry on our legacy to the stars.
Some may argue that humans could change themselves through genetic engineering, cyberization, etc enough to be able to survive the journey, but why bother? Why is it important that an actual human brain makes the trip? Sending intelligent life throughout the universe in any form that can actually make the journey and thrive is preferable than shooting hairless monkeys into space.
Like Australopithecus, Homo Erectus, or the Neanderthal, I believe Homo Sapiens is just another intermediate stage on the path of progression toward a more perfect life form, whether it's part of a genetic lineage or a creation.
Radar will be tricky because of, you know, birds. You'd have to be able to distinguish.
Perhaps radar combined with wide-band frequency sniffers to see if any 'birds' are putting out radio signals. Then you could triangulate the drone's operator using sniffers placed in a network covering a few miles around the prison, and send the police after him quickly. Assuming the drone isn't autonomous of course. But I think you could identify a drone, what frequencies it's operating on, and find the pilot hanging out in his van nearby pretty quickly if you set it up right.
It means someone meant to say 'positivity' and used the wrong word. Perhaps it's because Chrome's spell checker seems to think 'positivity' isn't a word (it's underlined in red as I type this post).
'Notch' is an exceedingly average-looking person, not a celebrity, and isn't even popularly known by his real name. If he dropped a few pounds (and he could stand to) and shaved his beard he'd be near-unrecognizable. Hair plugs wouldn't be out of order either. His own mother wouldn't recognize him, much less the average person on the street.
And, it's not required that you state your real name and wealth status to everyone you meet.
All that is required is that he remain low-key and doesn't flaunt his wealth and identity. If he walked into a restaurant in Grenoble I guarantee you nobody would even blink.
I agree. He bought a bunch of shit and found out that it doesn't bring happiness.
Personally, I'd own less 'stuff' than I do now, and live out of a suitcase. With 1.5 billion dollars, I'd travel the world and probably never stop. Buy an unassuming-looking car in Europe or the UK and drive all over, meeting new and interesting people and exploring new places. Hike the West Highland Trail in Scotland; ski the Alps in Switzerland; explore the catacombs of France, rent a speedboat and putter around on Lake Como in Italy, etc.
That, to me, is being rich - it means being free to go anywhere and do anything. I don't need a lavish life of luxury; I just want to be free of the shackles that keep me from seeing the world.
The 'Buddy Holly' music video that was included on the Win95 CD made me a fan of Weezer, which I still am to this day. I must have watched that video hundreds of times as a kid.

Kinect technology is incorporated into this platform. It's what guides the orientation of the visual overlay faster and more accurately than accelerometers and orientation sensors.
Assuming that a password character can only be a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and 10 other characters, and assuming that a password has exactly 6 characters, you would have to try on average (72^6)/2=69657034752 passwords. Assuming you can do 100 tries per second, that would still take more than 8062 days, or more than 22 years on average.
Using a dictionary attack will cut that time WAY down, if the targets used words as passwords.

You mean, 'one hectodollar'.
Come on, guys, he's allowed to not like it (and say so), even if we have different opinions.
Addition:
I have no idea what happens if you're recording a phone call from a state that DOES allow only one party being notified to a state that does NOT.

A drop down terminal is super helpful when switching back and forth between the terminal and documentation in a browser window.
Guake is the first thing I install on a new distro. Terminal drop-down is only a keypress away.

Won't you be a dear and tell us what provider that was?
I *assume* that means that it allowed files to be written to the normally read-only system partition.

Just because Chrome uses the same renderer as Safari doesn't mean that the apps are identical in every way.
I read an article a few years ago that William Buffet still drove himself around in a Lincoln Town Car. Don't know if he's upgraded his wheels yet.

It can be both.

It's in the first sentence of the linked article that you obviously didn't bother to click, you colossal moron.
Sorry you don't have a sense of humor.
