Hey why not use this same system to allow the screen and/or sounds to be disabled in movie theaters. How about infrared for police to unlock your phone or decrypt items. Why stop there the device has WiFi and Bluetooth let's use that too. How about I don't buy something designed where someone else can control it with infrared or any other method in contradiction of my wishes.
I learned more from Civilization IV and similar games than I ever did in my high school's history classes... That is saying a lot more about my school than using games like this for learning though..
I still have my PS3. I used YDL at one point then I had the insane idea of installing gentoo. The emerge world command took over 24 hours from what I remember due to Sony locking out most of the CPU cores. I won't bother trying to get my $55. Not sure what kind of proof I could come up with. I damn sure don't have my receipt from when I bought it or any proof it had Linux on it at one point, besides the fact I am not sure it is worth my time...
I have lived in a few Cities where the only options are TWC and usually AT&T DSL (there has been times when that wasn't even an option). AT&T DSL is garbage compared to TWC. This is not an endorsement of TWC but thus far they have not had any data caps, so I will give them that.
Microsoft has done many things that were monopolistic, illegal, patent infringing, etc. They get sued, eventually they loose typically but by the time they have to stop and/or pay up it is 5 to 15 years down the road and the path they took let them take an entire market, eliminate a competitor etc. DR-DOS, RealPlayer, Internet Explorer and many other examples that anyone can google. Even if the EU, US or whatever comes down on them they will profit from this and hold or increase their market share... At least that is what has always happened.
If people have not upgraded to Windows 10 by now they do not want to and are actively avoiding it, for whatever reason. Them pushing this out with a security update will do nothing but tick off those people and cause them to start distrusting even security updates at this point. The only reason this one didn't hit me is I have IE disabled in Programs & Features...
I have had multiple issues with drivers from Windows Update on Windows XP and 7. If the device was working already and there was an update it was about a 50/50 chance the new driver would cause issues and have to be rolled back.
I like having 100s of choices as long as I have tool(s) to help me narrow down the choice and it is not some pain to compare the choices. At newegg for instance I can easily narrow down the choice of computer cases from over 1000 choices down to 20 or so based on what I want. At Amazon however i would never be able to accomplish that with such ease. I know in a lot of ways this is not the same as walking down an isle of 30 types of jam but in many aspects it is. I could easily narrow those 30 jams down to a few and from there pick one based on whatever criteria I wanted, if there was a nice system for doing so.
Excellent shows, commercial free, on demand, released one season at a time. At the same time I have watched some networks take a 30 minute time slot show and reduce the actual show from around 21-22 minutes to 17-18 minutes, making more time for commercials. I'll sit on my couch with my potato chips and watch the demise of network TV with delight.
Fines can work if they are high enough. Yeah a lot of the fines we hear about are not enough to cause a company to change their actions, but $1k per day per customer would be much more than the cost of doing business.
I am all for "Suspend their corporate charter" also though:)
Since they have hid them for this long, showing this 3 character code will not help as much as it would have if they never hid them in the first place. Thankfully people deal with a small set of extensions so I would imagine over time it would make some difference and just the concept of any.xxx.yyy is probably bad would help. I have been turning on where I can can see file extensions since they started hiding them, which honestly I do not remember when they started at this point.
Also.... Pinning stuff the start menu Quick Launch... The icons from Quick Launch do not move around on me, when I want to open Chrome the Icon isn't all the way on the left some times and some times in the middle. It hurts productivity. Yeah I turned it back on in Windows 7.. Just wondering if I will be able to in Windows 10.
My local stores as far as I know quit selling electronic components, like resistors, at the last time I went there.. All the isles were replaced with cell phone cases, remote controlled toys and other stuff. This was several years ago, I never went back looking for parts like that.. Now I am building stuff with a Raspberry PI, Audrenio, etc and I would have gone a few times if I thought there was a chance they had what I needed...
Nicotine is one of the most addictive substances, but as far as the damage caused from just nicotine vs smoking a cigarette there is a vast difference. While amazingly addictive the effects of the drug are not too different than caffeine in some aspects. I believe the bogeyman reference was to how many people assume nicotine causes cancer and all the things that cigarettes cause, where people who have done a little research know that is the tar, smoke and other chemicals not the nicotine. I am not saying nicotine is good for people by any means, but there isn't much of a comparison between it and smoking is all.
S4 here, it has KNOX. my bootloader is stock but I use safestrap and HyperDrive ROM. Normally with safe strap you still have your normal rom when you are done but I do not. I can put it back whenever I want if ever needed, remove safe strap, etc. As others have noted XDA Developers is a very good place to start.
Read up on your exact phone and version you have on the phone.. Honestly just rooting is usually pretty simple and easy removable. Replacing the whole ROM is not hard, but more involved.
Mine tried to rename their self The Shack for a while and mainly seemed to be a cell phone store. Last time I went in there trying to get a resistor something similar they didn't carry them at all anymore. I quit going there and all I ever heard was people thinking they could get the cable or adapter they needed there and them not usually having it.
For me, good riddance. The days portrayed in the short circuit movie are long gone..
Pretty sure KNOX is what is stopping me from replacing the bootloader on my Galaxy S4 (Verizon) like I normally would with a custom ROM. I have to use SafeStrap and not modify their bootloader. I still have my custom rom, it was just more annoying..
I remember trying the power glove out for Nintendo.. It was terrible. But I figured out in Pinball Quest if I flipped off the TV the right flipper be triggered and if I did the up yours gesture it triggered the left flipper.
I agree. But if something does pass I hope it includes a way to help my student debt from my two year degree that I just completed with a >3.9 gpa. I can pay it off, but it would be nice to not have to... just being honest.
A lot of people have no business being in charge of the security of a server. Those are the same people who need the media to bring an exploit to their attention. They might fix Heartbleed but they never fix CVE-2014-wxyz and others and their server is probably already compromised or could be anyway. Some of the hackers will help keep your system up to date, since they don't want some other hacker taking one of "their" servers.
I found Heartbleed very simplistic and how it went unnoticed for so long is impressive. Why the hell did it let you specify the number of characters to send back and never check that? https://xkcd.com/1354/

Now if the human in the back will get the "extra onions with no pickles" right that would be great. I bet the robot would get it right...

So my grandmother who lives where there is no cable TV is only being brainwashed by the Christian Broadcast Network now.... (seriously)
I thought it said Charlie Sheen
They did this on a TV show before, was somewhat interesting.
