Your post is currently rated as funny, although I am not sure if you meant it to be. It took me a minute to figure out the the Android SDK is not the Android SDK. If I am mistaken, Id'e like to hook one up and switch the values for sd card and internal storage. One reboot and you just might end up with a psychopathic killer bot.
The current record for terrestrial solar cells is 46.0 percent, so I am not sure how this team justifies their claim of "a new world record for unfocused sunlight". I point out that the 46% result was taken under focused lighting conditions, which actually makes the result stronger.
WTF? So this is in fact all about unfocused sunlight. Even on Slashdot, I have never seen such an awkward, self-defeating attempt at an argument.
So fast.com says my download speed through T-Mobile is 14 megabits. Speedtest.net say 60 megabits while speedof.me gives me 5.7 Mbps. This is using my phone as a hotspot. Hopping all around the internet and randomly downloading very large files including the.iso files for Ubuntu and Slackware and with the case of Slackware I hit up multiple servers around the world I can safely infer the 60 Mbps is a close approximation as an average. Don't get me wrong, I know how the internet works, but still. Oh well, I have long advised the ranking on speed testing sites and apps are most likely bought and paid or at the very least biased in someway. Proof? Dunno.
If your wondering, my business account with T-Mobile affords me approximately one metric fuck ton of data per month.
I have a BlackBerry Classic with 3rd party app access to the play store. WhatsApp works fine. Actually most Play Store apps work. Not having a Windows machine, I went straight for the Windows executable to see if it would work under Wine, which I have had a lot of success with lately. The install gives a.net error, then downloads and installs the version it needs. It appears to install.Net 4.5 then craps out on the WhatsApp install with the error "installation failed".
My question is, as long as Wine exists, and is capable of running quite a lot of Windows apps, is it possible to design a rather simple app like WhatsApp to work on both after having been designed with not only Windows but Wine in mind? That's an actual question for the community and I am not suggesting every program approach development this way, but an end-to-end encrypted communications platform sounds just about right for Linux, Open Source or not. Perhaps us Linux users are just that marginal?
So says Fareed, who also says Snowden is not a "technologist". Fareed keeps mentioning Bill Gates as some sort of all knowing technology god. Bill Gates is a business man with a background in technology. I am more than willing to wager that Snowden has far more expertise in these matters the Bill Gates. Otherwise he would not be in the sanctuary or Russia. I actually sat through the whole debate, and Fareed is so far out of his depth I am left wondering how he was selected at all for his side of the debate. It was so awkward I cringed at times.
If you read the actual bill, there are an enormity of exceptions that cover most of what you have said and beyond. As far as maintenance, that might be a good point. I may have missed something but I did not see anything in there that took this on. I wait to stand correction on that.
The issue with Megan Kelly was not misogynistic behavior, it was creepy behavior. When initially, he would not let go of it, that was fine. But he clung to it so long and so vocally, it was creepy and weird, even obsessive and stalkerish. Going even further to use it as an excuse to miss debates was childish. Even above being a dullard, his biggest weakness is his immaturity. When asked about important issues, how many responses are like this:
"I just don't know about that. I'll have to look into that. I will have my people look at that. Why don't you look at that?"
And this sort of response if most often in regards to questions a presidential candidate should know about. And then there are famous responses such as:
"He started it!"
"They started it!"
He has the outlook and reasoning of a five year old. His success in business is born from psychopathy not brilliance. Every candidate has their cornerstones, such as his wall, but other candidates are able to address a myriad of issues without looking like an ignorant psychopath who only has the capacity to play on the fears of the lowest common denominator while probably not actually giving a damn about the wall or his supporters. Trump wants the presidency in order to have what is arguably the most powerful position in the world. He just wants the power.
Just before Trump became a serious candidate, I used to joke the when he gets to the White House, he will take one look at executive power and manipulate current world events as justification for suspending the constitution, then disband the government and start both a civil war and world war three while installing himself as dictator.
I know longer find that funny, and don't think it can't happen. We are staring down a modern version of 1930's Germany. If Trump becomes dictator, he will not lose a single follower, not one. The only difference will be their matching uniforms and arm band.
This rhetoric got stupid out of control a long time ago. Except wait... this isn't just persuasive speaking, not when you consider where it is coming from, and by no means just this one instance. This sort of speech is coming from people who have power whether directly or indirectly. This is whining. Whining against a population that has almost but not quite in its totality told the spoiled child no. But we are not the parents, we should be but we aren't. This whining, regardless of the direction it appears to be aimed, is on the table of its intended audience. The almighty "Powers that Be". People who could not tell the difference between a passage from 1984 and the Constitution. That is to say, all things national security. I could carry on about why there is real reason to be concerned over this sort of inane dystopian threat-speak, but we are at war with Oceania right now so I have bigger concerns.
Onto a more serious note: on this day, with nothing to hide, I declare full encryption on all data and communications I utilize that can be. For that which is otherwise, I shall seek an appropriate platform to migrate to. I'm late getting on board with that philosophy, but it is now past time.
You quickly drive through the employee parking\entry area of a bank. You toss half a dozen, maybe less, infected USB drives out your window on the way. I've only ever heard of that testing method used on banks, by genuine, hired security firms, but I imagine it could go a lot further. Needless to say it generally results in "Yay! free USB drives! Let's plug em in!" Then something phones home.
People are simple like that. Every so often someone asks me what the best way to crack (misc.) password is. I tell them to ask for it.
This mostly sounds like BB trying like hell to stay relevant.
Unfortunately they are so very late to the party everyone is thoroughly drunk off their ass from Android and iPhone. I hear the chips & dips are pretty good. I worked for a carrier back in the day and a vendor let me handle what was very much a pre-release BB 10 phone. I believe it became the Z10. I was pretty quickly hooked on the BB 10 OS\Interface. It was new, it was innovative, and it was absolutely elegant. I also knew by then that it was simply too late so I went about my merry Android way. A couple of months ago I was at my local T-Mobile store. I picked up the Classic demo phone and after two-hours was in love. I slept on it and ordered one the next day. I have never been happier with a phone and as far as the app deficit goes, getting access to the entire play store is trivial and most but not everything works. I know is all but dead, I know that BB's Android heavy road map shows a BB 10 refresh next spring, and I know that will not likely happen that the platform will be officially killed off for Android. I'm just glad I am able to spend some quality time with such a remarkable device\OS\interface while I can.
Might have gone a little off topic, but there isn't a whole lot to say in any conversation about BB.
This may not be totally out of the question. When IBM exited the PC business and other stuff, a lot of people looked at that as the misstep of death. Now look. Cloud. Big Data. AI. They are doing pretty good without there former core business.MS develops a lot of software and technologies, I would not be surprised at all if Windows is a resource hog on the company. I have no idea how a total migration in Linux would look or work, but it would not catch me off guard.
Well, rather than go back on the attack. I will ponder your comments and do some reading reading on the issue. I suspect demographics may be in play here, but it sounds like you certainly do a good job with your kids.
Barbara, I have the utmost respect for you. You are easily one of my top 3 favorite posters\commentators here on Slashdot. If I had the opportunity I would shake your hand. But you have absolutely jumped the shark on this one. You are now defending yourself for the sake of defending yourself. Research logical fallacy and leave this be. It doesn't look like anyone is paying attention to this thread anyway otherwise I would launch into a much longer post than this. I'm out. Have a good night.
Trust and parental responsibility do not have to be mutually exclusive. We are talking about the 13 year old range. We are talking about an age of naivete and vulnerability in conjunction with a powerful device that can create powerful trouble. The article is talking about wanting to get at the phone of his dead son. But, he did not know the lock code to his 13 year olds device. I am also talking about knowing the lock code should something seem off. I never said a word about going through the device. I so hope you do not have any children.

There are two people in my life who know the lock code to my phone. I have given them my lock code in the event it needs unlocked and I am incapacitated or flat out dead. While this is truly tragic, the kid was already dying of bone cancer. It should not even have been a matter of thinking ahead, as his impending death was already likely.
This is all so heart rending, I hate to throw in the bad parenting card but it needs to be played. It is fine for a 13 year old to have a lock code on their phone. It is not fine for the parent to be ignorant of what that lock code is. If a 13 year old has a lock code on their phone, the parent should be regularly verifying the code has not been changed. Let the kid be clever and find other ways to hide things. Lock code changed? Kid won't give it up? Things might have changed but if I remember, you can factory reset a locked phone via iTunes.

For this to occur during an election season. The flip-flop that is. Either don't make promises you can't keep, or run for office.

Don't worry, I'm sure someone will come out with an app you can side load. Although I am still sure how you would go about fucking it.
Then shut up and go somewhere else.
Why I still bother to waste the opportunity to moderate in favor of replying to ACs who are not contributing anything...
Moore's law as it stands has always been a wall we would hit sooner than predicted by any self respecting nerd. It's time that it gets redefined.
Fuck I forgot about that.

Shortly if not already, I think that will be or is former CEO. With such an egregious comment, quite possibly former company altogether.

If it is a small business just making ends meet, I doubt they will be constructing a new building.
