The difference is that ones IP is probably changing regularly and the log in information that you give Amazon is the only way anybody's managed to figure out how to make the transactions work. Whereas malls have been around for ages without needing to keep that information, in fact most will even take cash for services or items without looking at you weird.
I'm guessing that they're using the same technology that our parking enforcement officers use. It's basically a car mounted camera system that scans license plates.
As much as I'm opposed to this practice, it isn't without upsides. It would make it easier to identify stalkers in cases where license plates are known. But ultimately, it's not worth it, it's just too easy to side step the protection for the amount of privacy that has to be given up.
That's because plagiarism isn't straight forward no matter how much the academic world wants to think it is. I did a paper on it when doing my TESL, and the rules are confusing, contradictory and ultimately violated by damn near every writer that one would consider talented.
Beyond that there's the issue of ownership of ideas, which really is a western idea that only originated in the last couple centuries, prior to about the 1800s or so, writing was regarded as being given to a writer by God as were paintings, poems and any number of things to which we now ascribe ownership.
Ultimately, the worst part though is that there's very little new material left for under grads to cover with a lot of the papers they're asked to write. I mean how many more ways can one analyze Shakespeare's plays that are actually original? I'm guessing few if any as the texts are several centuries old. And expecting students to pro-actively look for somebody else that might have said something similar is a complete waste of time.
Plagiarism is more than just lifting text word for word, only idiots do that these days, paraphrasing is acceptable to an extent, but lifting ideas isn't.
The problem is that there's a fixed number of ideas and a fixed number of ways of expressing them. And unfortunately, there are going to be cases where unoriginal work really wasn't plagiarized from any other source. And determining whether or not a particular student really did lift something that could be a plagiarized idea that's been paraphrased isn't easy.
And ultimately, I probably should cite Mozart for expressing the finite way in which we can create papers, but I'm sure he wasn't the first one.
What's really bad is that plagiarism has only been a big deal for the last several hundred years, and a significant number of writers, politicians and similar have been guilty of it over the years.
That's one possibility, a couple more are that it's for lulz or that it's revenge by some developer that's pissed because of Apple's ridiculous policies for being granted access to the App store.
I've got my parents to somewhat strengthen their passwords by using a pass phrase with substitutions. It's not great, but if you then abbreviate some of the words, you get something close to a proper password. Ultimately, there are dictionary attacks that handle it, but even that is significantly stronger than just a word and a number. Hopefully, they'll just move on down to the next account when they don't come up with anything the first time through.
Ultimately, no matter how many times you tell users that if the account gets cracked because of a weak password that they're not going to get their money back, they don't listen because that's something that only happens to other people. And ultimately, with a weak password it's tough to prove that it wasn't the password that was the cause of the losses which can result in being awarded nothing in court.
Unless this is a series of cracks purely for lulz, there really ought to be someway of tracking things efficiently. If the apps being bought are sold by scammers, then that's one thing, otherwise, I'm curious as to how this would result in profit for the people doing the cracks.
Find and prosecute whomever it is that is profiting and the problem should be solved. Ultimately, that's Apple's responsibility. This isn't like Android where Google has little say over what users load on their Android devices.
There are minimum expenses, you have to have towers sufficient for at least one transmission line pretty much no matter how little your consumption. But, if you halved the power consumption you should be able to at least cut the transmission capacity by a third, if not a full half. And every line you run has to be maintained and every bit of capacity has to be paid for by somebody.
Ultimately, it tends to be better to have the utilities owned by the local government than a for profit entity because any "profits" can at least be sure of going back into the infrastructure. That's how it's been around here for ages and our price and quality is quite good. Price isn't entirely fair because we do have hydroelectric dams to provide power, but even as we've demolished them the price has still remained lower than most other parts of the country.
The thing which really hurt us was when Enron cheater our utilities out of that money when they went under.
I cared about that before I ditched them. But then again, I didn't care that much because I found it to be more cost effective to buy a Roku than to pay a similar amount of money for an HDMI converter box for my TV. OTOH, had I had HDMI inputs on my TV, I would just hook my laptop up and save the money for something else.
No, what it means is that the price they quote is where you negotiate from. If you've ever looked closely at your bills for medical services, you'll likely notice that the insurance company typically only allows payments of a certain amount and then there's the typical copayment, but when you add the numbers together they rarely if ever come out to the correct amount.
The main reason being that insurance companies typically get a discount for providing patients. Sort of like how you get money off if you agree to sign a contract to do regular business with somebody. That stream of income has value to it.
Not really, going from 4 to 3 carriers isn't going to do anything positive for competition. Doesn't matter how you look at it, there's no competition with 4 carriers and going to 3 carriers doesn't strike me as a way of increasing competition.
My guess is that if T-Mobile really does go under that they'll end up being bought out by somebody like Century Link that doesn't have an arm in the market. Or that it would be broken up into smaller regional carriers.
Where I live, we have 4 choices and a small number of other ones that are owned or controlled by the 4 major carriers. For me this would mean ultimately going back to Sprint because they're the best other than T-mobile in this area.
That's sort of the problem, this is a bit like cod liver oil back in the say, they may not like the medicine, but for everybody's well being they need it. Allowing people to get online who have no idea what they're doing is a recipe for bad things happening.
Apple regularly steals inventions from other companies and tries to lock it up for themselves. The iPod used a UI that was ripped off from Creative, those magsafe cords were ripped off from appliance manufacturers, and let's not forget about the original Macs where Apple ripped of Xerox for significant portions of the UI.
No, it's correct. Java isn't an emulator, the virtual machine runs byte code using native instructions and from time to time you get problems with that. But, ultimately, the Java VM is more similar to Wine or the Linux ABI than it is virtual box.
Emulation goes beyond just wrapping instructions for use by the kernel, it typically has to create virtual devices or emulate instructions which are not available on the host machine, rather than just wrapping them up in the preferred format.
Historically that would be because of kernels that included a bunch of stuff in them that wasn't necessary. I haven't looked recently so I don't know what the case is presently. Even FreeBSD gets a lot faster when you recompile the kernel to remove support for things like SCSI and parallel ports which chances are you're not using. Anything in the kernel is going to have to be loaded every time and can't be unloaded. Also while you're at it, enabling features that were added with more recent processor revisions.
It shouldn't be as big of a deal as it used to be as both Linux and FreeBSD have moved to provide more hardware compatibility via loadable modules. But, there's certain things which can't be loaded via module and those are the ones that are going to hurt performance.
It's been ages since I tried, but I was never able to get a Linux kernel to actually compile, the process was always a pain, so those unnecessary bits remain in any Linux install I use. At the end of the day, having a 30mb kernel like in the past when I'd look at Linux is bloated no matter how you look at it.
Having HTC have to settle the suit because neither HTC nor Google wants to lower themselves to Apple's level is hardly in the interest of anybody besides Apple and Apple's share holders.
It is perfectly relevant, it's a very different matter to use patents defensively than it is to use them for offensive purposes or rent keeping the way that Apple and MS do. Yes, it's less than ideal, but at the end of the day, we have patents and getting run out of the market for refusing to use them isn't going to help the consumers; or yourself make a profit.
Yes, even at $14 or so a liter, the stuff isn't cheap, but it is a step in the right direction. I'm just surprised that they're suggesting that something like this that relies upon liquid cooling is acceptable for transmission lines. As it is they literally have to go around with guys in specially design suits, lowering them onto the transmission lines to alleviate hots spots. I can only imagine what would happen if a section of the transmission line were to start leaking coolant.

I don't know about that, didn't the original series end up showing stains and things like that which were never seen in previous editions?
That being said, I'm not sure this warrants a repurchase for most folks, just rent the blurays and if you still think it's worthwhile go for it.

8 characters is a joke. Even a decade ago 8 characters was a joke. Even if you include a punctuation mark, it's still pretty ridiculous.

I take it you're not a fan of Pop and Performance Art either. Or poetry for that matter.
Depends whom you ask. The Joker in the first Batman movie certainly took that stance.
But, in practical terms, you're being obtuse. This exhibit was done as art and is being displayed by a gallery.
Doubtful, it's clearly fair use, plus those were downloaded files.
That's sort of the problem, this is a bit like cod liver oil back in the say, they may not like the medicine, but for everybody's well being they need it. Allowing people to get online who have no idea what they're doing is a recipe for bad things happening.
Citation necessary, just leave your bank account information here so that the admins can verify the big bucks. I'll do it first.

The cool thing is that the software automatically replaces it with stars when displaying.
And thanks to TFA, the product is now dead as a door nail. It's what inevitably happens when you're selling to hipsters.
But then again, I'd tell you about the camera I'm using, but I'm sure you've never heard of it.
Well, then what is Apple a misspelling for?
