They happen you know, especially when someone can't figure out how to post "Ask Slashdot" stories in the "Ask Slashdot" section of the site. This site has sections and the ability to selectively ignore those sections for a reason. If editors fail to post stories in the correct section then it defeats the purpose of this feature and in turn that it undermines the value of the site as a whole. Quarterly revenue goes down, earnings estimates are missed, and executive bonuses take a hit. Rumor has it that several senior level executives had to move their kids to public school systems as a result. Please Timothy, post the stories in the right sections. if you can't do it for yourself, at least think of the children!
RF jamming and/or GPS spoofing would be a better/easier way to down these craft, and a drop from 500 feet into a forest fire would have the same deleterious effect on the airframe that bullets would.
Except that for many drones the default behaviour in such a situation is to freeze like a deer in the headlights right where they are. That's not going to help anyone in this situation.
I guess it's time to post a significant reward for information leading to the arrest of the person who did this. Apparently just the news stories about how stupid this is isn't enough to dissuade these idiots. So a good stiff fine is needed, and his drone seized. Hopefully that would finally send a message. Time for someone to 'fess up and spread the word to others.
Don't worry. The individual in question will self report via a youtube post within the next day or so. Problem solved.
There are no standards to ratings, no commonality among them, and little in terms of a rational guideline to do the reviews. These changes impose a little bit of discipline, but IMHO, Amazon's search functions repel users more than the reviews attract them.
The latest trick I have been seeing is the "there's a newer version of this item" link on an item's page. Click on that link will just take you to the same item being sold by a different seller. I don't know how the seller is managing to get their version flagged that way though. No way to report the issue either.
AT&T's was fined for "deceptive business practices". It had nothing to do with "net neutrality". If Sprint is reacting to and is concerned about AT&T's fine then that tells me a lot about how Sprint executives truly view their own business practices behind closed doors.
Couldn't we just stop being petty bastards and just give out free food to kids at school? Food is not expensive in America. All this bitching about budgetary constraints is just another example of the middle class and poor at each other's throats...
Because by having a separate program for the kids who need free lunches, we can be sure everyone knows who they are. Even more importantly we can also make sure that they know who they are and that they feel properly ostracized from good, proper and polite society.
there's a lot of information that the software tracks for the school district's purposes that isn't part of the export to the state reporting agency or to Title I or anything like that right now,
Initially developed in the late 1970s, C++ is a powerful general-purpose programming language, and is still widely used for writing mission critical and performance-sensitive applications.
Hardly. Stroustrup first introduced C with classes at Bell Labs in 1979. It wouldn't be known as C++ until at least 1983.
Take out a couple of big transformers with a rifle and you could cut power over a very large area with a very lengthy repair time.
Friend's dad worked for the power company back in the day. Need some overtime? He and his coworkers would disappear with their 30-30s for a couple of hours. Next thing you knew there were transformers down after the coolant drained from mysterious new holes.
Weak encryption is effectively the same as no encryption
I disagree. Weak encryption is significantly worse because it is misleading. At least with no encryption you know that your information is unprotected. With weak encryption you run the risk of being misled into believing that your information its protected when, in fact, it is trivially accessible.
Along with that they need to Unionize, like current trades. Employers are going to continue to treat you like shit because they can. Shame companies that don't hire "Local Programmers 423" to make the next AAA game.
Yeah but crossing a picket line of programmers doesn't have that same feel of concern as a picket line of teamsters or pipe fitters.
It is quite common in the US as the carriers also control the phones and can install their own certificates.
One of the benefits to running a rooted phone is that you can lock down the list of accepted root certificates and prevent the carriers from updating that list.
The owner is objecting to the user redistributing the file which is apparently subject to a license. In this instance GitHub (in USA) needs to apply their own laws in making the determination of fair use or exemption but I think the DMCA notice will stand - unless I'm misinformed there is no exclusion to DMCA for academic purposes as there is in India's safe harbour provisions.
I think the authors of each and every web page viewed by Airtel customers that have been modified by Airtel should sue Airtel for copyright infringement. Airtel is producing a derivative work of the original web page sent by the web server without a license to do so from the web page author. This is a willful violation of the web page author's copyright and is done so for monetary gain. The copyright holders should seek punitive as well as compensatory damages.
Funny to watch the Slashdot ignorant get offended at my comment.. or defensive of their language for that matter. The history of C vs. C++ threads on this site can only be rivaled by MS vs. UNIX, and KDE vs. Gnome threads. It has been a while since I have seen this one...
And of course the third is that Western Civilization is not currently fascist. We wouldn't be talking about this openly on a public forum if it was. Increased surveillance by various intelligence agencies is worrisome and could potentially lead us to an unpleasant place once again, but we're nowhere near it yet. Not every political decision you don't like is a sign of fascism any more than every shoulder ache is a sign of a heart attack.
Exactly. It's not like they will . . . hang on, their's someone at the door. brb.

My guess is that most slashdotters would happily go along with doing away with cash.
Your guess would be dead wrong, at least for this slashdotter.

FTFY.
I shouldn't have to, but wearily I hasten to add that frivolous shit must not be allowed to squeeze into these programs.
Agreed.
That means frivolous cosmetic surgery, frivolous sex-change mutilation, degenerate drug binging, etc.
Oh, you were talking about the recipients. I thought you meant the program providers. carry on.
cats that chew on/claw power supplies deserve to be eaten.
After being properly fried of course.
You do realize that the topic of this post is "questions for Brian Krebs", right? Not questions for random people at the bus station?

Interview Technique #1 - Don't let the interviewee sit in a swivel chair. It is both distracting and nauseating to the viewer.
Does anyone have a greasemonkey/tampermonkey script that hides dice spam authored by this twat?

Don't forget messages with terminal control characters that set the font to black on a black background.

So if the perpetrators are still walking free that means ????
That it's business as usual for the LEO.
I agree, except you've over-rated HyperTerminal.
And disrespected the donkey.
