I wouldn't care, but you try and export that anti-democracy laws to us in Europe, too. Just build a big wall around the USA, have your own internet and leave us in peace.
Now be nice or we'll take our Internet and go home.
If you care to look it up, there have been good articles about this in the Wall St Journal and New York Times.
This is/. We don't have time for that sort of nonsense.

Siri Protocol Cracked

· Score: 4, Informative
Here is an easier solution, how about just send everything via HTTPS.
Apple is. From TFA:
Surprisingly, when we did, we wouldnâ(TM)t gather any traffic when using Siri. So we ressorted to using tcpdump on a network gateway, and we realised Siriâ(TM)s traffic was TCP, on port 443, to a server at 17.174.4.4.
The app even validated that the cert used was signed by a trusted CA. Fortunately the iphone4S allows you to add your own trusted CA to the trust chain.
He used the company's resources and time to make it,...
If you do something at your work time,...
Would you mind providing a citation for this? I didn't see anything in TFA that indicated he used any company time or resources to maintain the (arguably his) blog.
Not too long ago I was looking into what it would cost to build a (nearly) fully automated greenhouse. The problem is, no matter how efficient or clever your system is, you simply cannot compete with the cost of human labor at the very bottom of the skills spectrum.
That's easy enough to fix. Just have the workers unionize. That will triple the cost of your human labor right there and then your robots become cost effective.
I'm a bit concerned about all of this advancement to support extended population growth. My gut feeling is that we are just setting up ourselves for a big fall the more we detach ourselves from nature. Like a house of cards. It can only go so high before the entire system collapses. It's just a matter of when. For example, a high-altitude nuclear warhead my never cause bodily harm. But the EMP it releases is enough to shutdown entire nations with all microchips fried. That means no transportation and running water. Within weeks, people start dieing and bodies decomposing where they last crawled for survival. Truly scary stuff.
I hate to be the one to break it to you, but we are way past that point already. Modern farm equipment has more electronics than your car does. These would just be a bit of icing on the cake.
Very interesting idea! Might be tough on the veggies while folks learn though. Maybe a mandatory training course?
The first few levels are virtual, but at some point the user's proficiency reaches a threshold, and they start moving actual plants. No need to tell them that though.
In cases where it requires the same ultra high precision and reliability - yes. But those cases are not common. And most of those an be covered by lesser hardware.
Exactly. Who wants their new skyscraper to be designed on a computer with a Pentium processor doing the floating point math?
The ZBX has a high speed bus connection between the Mainframe (Z196/Z114). This speeds up the network lag for large MQSeries systems, FTPs, etc. Also the ZBX is managed/upgraded by IBM Customer Engineers so the firmware will be IBM supported. They also integrate the ZBX into the Hardware Management Console to have a single point of control. I believe the ZBX can also take advantage of Server Time Protocol so the mainframe can be used as a time source for all the ZBX blade servers.
It probably also allows the applications to communicate with and share data with the crypto coprocessing facilities available on the z/Enterprise platform.
Why don't you call Microsoft support and ask them. After all, isn't this one of the things you pay for and they are supposed to provide stellar support with?
So what you are really saying is that you don't know the difference between an operating system and the applications that run on it.
There is no difference between text and binaries to usenet - binaries are just yencoded as text. It's only a convention that binaries be posted in the alt.binaries groups. If those groups were closed down, you'd see binaries appear in the discussion groups.
It is straightforward to pattern match encoded binaries and automatically cancel those posts via cancelmoose.
Of course why would they bother with an app store for the public when they could simply have their free iOS apps appear on the Apple App Store at no cost to NASA?
Because what can and can't be made available then becomes subject to the whims of Apple?
To put it another way, Apple's current design methodology is centered around the notion that people should not have to think about how to use their computers. Let me emphasize the important part: people should not have to think. If the term "idiot" does not properly convey the notion of someone who is not willing or able to think, I am not really sure what would.
I respectfully disagree. In most cases the average person's goal is not to use a computer. Their goal is to send/receive email or keep up with what is going on in their family (via a social media site) or edit and print their photos. The computer is just a tool to accomplish those goals, not a goal in and of itself. For these very common use cases, good UI design enables the user to accomplish their goals without having to get involved in the details of how the tool accomplishes the goal. Looking at a hammer and a nail and knowing that the nail needs to go into a piece of wood, it doesn't require a lot of thought to figure out how to get the job done. Good software should be the same way.
Does Siri understand profanity? I ask because every other voice control system I have tried to use in the past has quickly degenerated into me speaking profanity at the device. Just saying.
David Friend, the CEO of Carbonite, has commented on this event. Interestingly, his take on what happened differs from what was posted in the linked article from CW. According to Mr. Friend, they use an email forwarding agency/company for communications to their customers. He claims that this company misappropriated their customer email list for their own purposes. I'm not sure who I trust less; the CEO of the company that had the problem or the CW author who is apparently afraid no one else would find his article noteworthy so he posted it himself.
But don't store the actual password file in the deposit box. Instead leave the first clues in a series of increasingly difficult puzzles, the solution to each one will provide one password, which will unlock a system that will reveal something necessary to solve the next puzzle.
I take it then that you have never been the executor of an estate, particularly one of someone close to you. The last thing you really feel like doing is some sort of junior spy scavenger hunt. If I had to chase across the city at a time like this I would probably piss on your casket as retribution after they lowered it down.

What are people of color? Isn't everyone a color of some sort?
Ethics? Have you looked at the pathological behaviour that passes for ethics in business these days?
I believe the proper reply would be to simply refer them to the reply given in Arkell v Presserdram.
Actually now that I think about it, I would probably sell it on ebay.

The mainframe is still running z/OS, and will have the same performance and reliability characteristics it always had.
Having worked on the mainframe platform for the last 20 years, I can tell you that mainframe reliability isn't what it used to be.
Miller announced the news on Twitter this afternoon, saying "OMG, Apple just kicked me out of the iOS Developer program. That's so rude!"

Really? You've been around Apple and seen how they react for how many years and you were surprised by this?
What the hell is this?
it's a pitch to try and score some funding.
We need funding and are looking for people interested in participating in this. If you know someone, shoot!

Some of us know the answers to these already. Yes, we're the ones you laugh at and call deluded.
I see someone skipped their meds this morning.
It's all fun and games...... until the universe segfaults.
Don't worry. We can always reinstall. I wonder where I put the distribution media?
