All those people who did not root their phones, used official market place or the official app store all should be safe, right?
The App is snooping, it has been outed, it is simply a matter of time, next security update will blacklist the app, revoke all it s privileges and all is well in the world, right?
In reality, people who rooted their phone, run a security manager that sandboxes all apps and prompts for every network access, will be safe. People who trusted Apples and Googles to keep them safe would be taken to the cleaners.

If they really wanted to fool anyone they should have disguised

No, bsmt is not bull shit mail transfer protocol. It is basement mail server protocol, as in you keep your own server in your basement. Is that allowed?
I saw a documentary where the rockets were powered by fuel extracted from Martian atmosphere. If the atmosphere already has oxygen the fuel will all be burned off. So hope the oxygen is not much. The documentary was superfantastic, actually. They were growing potatoes in Mars!
Did you really? The solution was not a decimal number. They want the integer reminder. Typical 12 sig digit accurate calculators will give something like 31.04 or 30.997 as the reminder, if you know how to get the reminder from the decimal fraction.
We constantly blare over the PA systems, "If you see something, say something..." and scare the population to no end with "all suspicious packages will be removed". We install jersey barriers in airport drop offs. So she saw something and said something. After training the population to be afraid of every passing shadow why expect them to exercise common sense or expect them to be reasonable?
Of course there is a war on coal. Mega war. And coal is losing that war big time.
But it is not waged by crazy EPA bureaucrats nor by demented libral Democrats. The war on coal is waged by the "drill baby drill" crowd, fracking all the way to the bank, producing natural gas cheaper than coal. Don't get started on clean coal. When dirty coal is too expensive compared to natural gas, clean coal does not even stand a chance. Blame free market, blame those who unloaded their coal properties to the most cruel business owners. Not EPA, not Obama.
It is difficult to make a car that will accelerate adequately without limiting its top speed. You need power to accelerate. Power for adequate acceleration would also increase the top speed. One could limit the top speed using limiters and electronics. But that is complicated. There is no precedent. And there is no real incentive for automakers to provide one.
But private companies could install speed limiters in their vehicles driven by their employees. Many do.
There should be a law that says "if you have any presence at all in our country, all the money you earn in other countries, and that is taxed in those other countries, should be taxed here too?
Sounds like a stupid law.
It is not stupid. As the law stands you deduct taxes already paid to other governments from the tax you own USA. Lets say 100 million dollars in USA. Then Apple sets up a post box in Banana Republic, and parks all the profits there and pays a generous 1 million dollars to the government of Banana Republic. Then it owes only 99 million to USA. The law is intended to prevent a race to the bottom. Competing governments reduce their tax rates to woe the companies and the corporations play one jurisdiction against another.
That is the current law. All taxes paid to all other governments count as though they have been paid to the US government. But, if they tax you less than USA, you pay the difference to the USA. The only glitch is, current law taxes the profits only when they are brought into the USA. So they keep the profits indefinitely off shore to dodge the tax. Hoping for an amnesty and bring it home with a lower rate to wipe the slate clean.
We should change the law to make these corporations that are keeping profits abroad from being listed in US Regulated stock exchanges. That will bring the profits home and they will pay the taxes. Or we could list them as foreign businesses with severe restrictions in lobbying and campaign contributions. That would also create a penalty for gaming our tax code.
Already the corporations have shifted most of their tax burden to the individuals. If the corporations paid the same effective rate as they paid under Ronald Reagan individual tax payers will get an immense tax relief. We can take our personal income tax rates from 36.3% top rate down to 20% top rate or even a flat tax of 15%.
All of them will shout tax cuts. Individuals and middle class gets a few bones thrown to us. The bulk of it goes to these corporations.
The surgeons should be happy and thankful for these automatic anti virus scans done by these machines. Come on, people, there is a patient on the gurney with chest cavity open, exposed to all sorts of pathogens in the atmosphere. Fungus spores, pollen, bacteria, virus all sorts of things want to get into the body and wreak havoc. It is a good thing, there are machines to do real time anti-virus scans. People complaining about it, being smug and superior over Microsoft, what the hell?!
Back when I was in seventh grade I was greatly impressed by one of the bollywood song sequence. It was during the heights of Apollo program and the dream sequence had a "moon" set, with craters and mountains, and the ageing hero cavorting with a girl young enough to be his grand daughter... But thought that was a large impressive set they built for that song. Never saw the movie or the sequence for 40 years, but have heard the song many hundred times. Then... youtube came along. Saw the song, and felt a great wave of disappointment. The craters were a regular array of circles, long shots were matte shots (painted scene with cutouts for live action), the set was tiny, the hero was horrible, dancing was disgusting,...
I am sure similar incidents happens to everyone. Packing all the kids into the station wagon and driving half way across the country to a great secret backwoods camping nook that you last visited when you 8 years old, and then to be thoroughly disappointed by the actual campsite...

Cosmos is meant for popular audience, not for people who are nerdy enough to dig through science and history. I would watch it only to see if it has any cool animation of something that I already know. Carl Sagan's Cosmos... I was young and had not read that much, so it brought me so much new information. By the time Neil came along, I had read through Daniel Boorstein's series on history of science twice. At this point spending eight full hours watching the idiot box is simply out of the question.
We all know it is going to be iCar. It will be shaped like a rounded rectangle. It will be incompatible with the current traffic signals. You see, at present the traffic light simply radiates in the visible spectrum in one of three frequencies. Couple of organic sensors mounted called eyes (not iS, that is copyrighted by Apple) on an organic body (usually a Homo sapien sapien) detect the frequency and takes appropriate action. The iCar will not have a transparent windshield, because glass windshields are so 20th century. It will feature a beautiful brushed aluminum body all around, not marred by stupid things like windows and windshields. So the visible light can not be detected inside the car. So all the traffic lights must be upgraded to a bluetooth interface broadcasting the stop, go, caution information and the iCar will detect it and display in a very tiny but very cute display inside the car.
Innovation, to the nth degree! Man, it is going to rock the world.
Yes, they asked Michael Faraday the same question. A magnet plunged into the middle of a coil of wire, triggered a response on a galvanometer. What's so great about it. Faraday shot back, "Whats the use of a new born baby?". Faraday's baby grew up to be the electric generator. It is what generating electricity in every nuclear powerplant, every thermal powerplant, every hydro-electric plant, every wind mill, in every alternator in every car. Except for the electricity created by the batteries and solar cells, every last joule of electricity used in the world comes by plunging magnets into coils, so to speak.
We may have to wait a hundred or thousand years for this flowing water in Mars baby to grow up. Or it might not grow up. But you never know which baby born today is going to grow up like the mighty giant Faraday's baby grew up to be.

Windows 10 has promised full support for ssh, not just a client but a server as well. I am sure there is going to be support for ftp might even support wget. Even if there is not, Google will find a way to use ssh to install chrome painlessly without going through IE or Edge.

They should be investigated too. Are they using their unlimited mod points to -5 troll conservative postings? They want to know.
