Now that Apple isn't going to be making models with the MagSafe connector, here's to hoping that they'll start licensing it to other PC manufacturers. It's a good design, it would be a waste to let it collect dust in an IP warchest.
Is it evil if I were to buy several of these, scratch the warning off, and leave them around the building/parking lot after a computer security meeting just to see who plugs it in first?
For comparison, the WiiU currently is sitting at about $12.8 million. So Pokemon Go is almost as profitable in a few days without hardware obligations as their latest hardware platform in a few years.
Both Firefox and Chrome have the concept of different profiles/users. If you need to separate your personal ad experience from your professional one, just split your browser in two with a different profile. This means all your plugins/cookies/history get loaded into a different sandbox all together. It can still be separately fingerprinted and tracked, but it does separate it.
Hillary is beginning to remind me a lot of a modern day J. Edgar Hoover. She's a big player, interconnected with lots of high ranking officials, and probably has enough dirt to bury anyone by fiat of position length of involvement.
With the advent of self-driving vehicles, we also are embracing enhanced congestion avoidance. When we worry about an extra volume of vehicles on the roadways we must also take into account advanced congestion avoidance routing helping to mitigate that impact. I'm not suggesting that it's a non-issue, but we may not know the true effect for now. The real problems would come from inaccurate road mapping data causing poor route planning. Also, nobody looks forward to their suburb turned into a secondary thoroughfare that suddenly all the non-residents would use.
Take a look at how breathalyzers have pushed back significantly over the years that their implementations are "trade secrets" and therefore not subject to scruitany. It was only a few years ago when we finally got a look behind the curtain just to discover the devices wouldn't have passed most government agency standards including temporary code left in production, a failure to baseline properly, and only registering a problem with the device after 32 consecutive errors. Who here doesn't see history repeating itself?
Good luck trying to scan my Windows Phone! Bwaahahahaha! Sometimes being the oft-ignored sector has its benefits. The phone may be crackable, but no one bothers to try.

I'm sure your windows phone totally doesn't have any legacy Win32 bugs hiding in your Windows 10 mobile OS. That mantra you're using from the 90s only applied because Linux didn't have as large a legacy codebase in the field. Taking your argument to the absurd, I can claim my BeOS machine is one of the most secure on the planet because nobody uses it and it's a beast of a different color.
Seems like the major virtualization vendors (VMware, Citrix, Microsoft) should have been all over this already with their end-user computing portfolios.
Pull your Jazz/Super floppy/5.25"/Zip drive out of the closet, make copies, and put them in different physical (preferably geographic) areas. Security through antiquity. A software raid array of floppy drives is actually kind of funny.
It wouldn't be the first time this has arisen in history. There are rules in place already on how traditional TV/News outlets provide election candidate coverage.
Bullets that don't shoot civilians in the background, nice idea. But if ammo is made for a given distance, in what circumstance will someone using a weapon have the time to perform the reload required to change their clip based on their distance to target? If you're going into something like a hostage situation, it's a valid skill to be able to assess friend/foe and pull a trigger faster than the guy who doesn't hesitate before shooting.
That would make sense but there are two things to consider. First, you may be using a different compiler or even language all together for a dll versus your main application. Second, there are legal implications with OSS licenses when it comes to dynamic versus static linking.
So my 90's era cordless phone will disrupt my wifi signal more than it already does, great!
Additionally consider what marketing people do to wifi standards. I foresee a new line of wireless routers claiming ridiculous ranges with higher price tags. Average consumer says higher price tag = better, and buys it for their apartment. Consumer is angry that 3 other people in his entire apartment complex bought it too or have the previously mentioned cordless phones and their internet stinks again. It's fine as long as they would clearly specify why you might prefer one band over another, but since they didn't do that so well with 2.4 versus 5 I don't have high hopes.
This also means that every new decide would have to get a new radio installed. Only in the last few years are dual band wifi radios becoming more standard, yet still are a premium. It would be sad if we had a repeat of 802.11a adoption.
Not only is cramming omnibus bills a scummy practice, but doing so right before everyone leaves for a holiday to add pressure not to read things and just pass them is double scummy.

At the moment the code requires both Matlab and Lightspeed. Until someone ports the code to an OSS library or alternate language, it won't see significant adoption.
Companies are going to do whatever makes the most money. The H1-B program gets them cheap labor in the US. Take away cheap labor, jobs will simply move offshore. If the labor is at least based in the US, those workers are still participating in the US economy.
Slashdot Mirror
As long as the corporate entity that owns that network has any US presence, you bet three letter agencies are going to have a tap on that.

Too bad it won't apply to political action calls.
This sounds like a decent replacement for the ancient WRT54G I've got in my home office.

And this is why having a way to provide software updates to the field without annoying the end user is important.

Now we just sit back and wait for infected ad servers to deliver 0-day malware....
If companies can be granted quasi-personhood status, why not a car AI? Are we ready to deal with the implications of car AI rights and car AI voting?

If you're hand typing MAC Addresses, you're doing it wrong and should get a better captive portal setup.
