You laugh at the poor schmucks because all their new cars have ruined controllers and everybody is gonna be buying new computers?... Profit!
I think it would make more sense for the Chinese than the Russians, since they at least sell computers. But who would buy replacements from them, and would they still be making any?
Maybe dropping the bombs onto the cities would be more destructive. Dunno. But if you're not going to kill us, poking us that hard is a dangerous idea.
Sure, we're going to be tracking this motherfucker and we'll know when it's overhead, but having to intercept during the re-entry phase only is much more difficult.
Well, consider that THAAD thing in the news, look up the acronym for that.
"Government workers make mistakes" is not in itself a reasonable argument against a particular policy, though. I don't doubt it is inconvenient if you get caught up in it. But that doesn't mean that the policy itself is hard to understand. Cops arrest the wrong people frequently, and often when no crime was committed.
It is just another silly thing where it sounds like something new because it might have humans along for the ride. But a space bomber is not as good as a missile. It probably isn't even a space bomber. It is probably a space missile command vehicle.
Sounds like a great degree for a person who wants to write history books. Give them a couple decades to start being realistic about what they can actually use it for, if they never manage to develop any other skills.
If the student wants job training, they should be at a technical school; and deciding that is the student's part, not the school's.
Well, having a small enough amount of money that you're worried about if it is near $10k or not is definitely suspicious. Where did this poor schmuck get this pittance, anyways? And why is he paranoid just over people knowing that he has it?
Yeah, what if you need to make a legitimate deposit in the high $9000s, and don't want to be suspected of "structuring", so you split it into two deposits in the high $4000s. Is that structuring also, since you're trying to avoid structuring?
Yes. Don't do it. If the amount is in the high $9000s, let it be. If it is $10,001, let it be. Let it be the natural, normal, correct size for whatever you were actually doing, instead of some re-sized amount that tries to react to bank reporting cutoff points.
No, see, when they investigate you if they find out that you just got a payment from somebody for $9999 and deposited it, then no problem, and no charges.
The problem is that none of the popular stories on AM radio that ask people to be outraged about this are that sort of situation. None of the famous cases were people who actually just deposited the amount of money they received. They all were intentionally structuring their payments to avoid automatic human review of the transaction, and they have excuses for why they didn't mean to do anything wrong. But none of the excuses were, "I wasn't trying to avoid triggering review." Of course they were trying to avoid review. That is why we have jury trials, and these are not emotional cases where it is easy to get railroaded. These are boring trials, and if you're found guilty, it is because there was evidence of wrongdoing. Don't structure what you deposit in the bank based on the sizes of transaction that trigger review. Just deposit what makes business sense to deposit, do your accounting according to what is actually true, and none of these laws will touch you. Transactions will either be the same size on both ends, or they will be aggregated based on being from the same day/week/month/whatever.
If you're paying your taxes, you probably don't even have a reason to avoid review. If your banker warns you that a transaction will be reported to the IRS, is that OK because you pay your taxes, or do you need to cancel the transaction, and change the sizes of what you deposit so that the IRS won't be notified?
You haven't identified a difficult to understand concept, you're just being willfully obtuse and intellectually dishonest and pretending you don't understand. More likely, you don't like some of the laws, and so are passive-aggressively denying that their existence is well-documented.
Also, now it turns out they're sitting on gigantic databases of other people's access keys, in the form of earlier taken fingerprints. You can trust them with that, can't you? They're totally trustable, right?
That's the real kicker. They don't even need a new scan. Even if you're not paranoid about the police directly, the identity thieves have already proven that they have an easy time planting people on the inside of government agencies that have access to identity data, like the DMV. And the amount of drugs that are smuggled into prisons shows that criminal elements have fully penetrated the prison guards. So there is already black market access to this information. You can't just avoid new scans to avoid it.
It isn't viable to protect the secrecy of your fingerprints, so it isn't viable as an authentication mechanism. The main thing you can do to protect yourself is not to rely on authentication mechanisms; don't think that putting your fingerprint into your phone lock screen means that it is safe to store secrets (like banking access) on a phone. Don't think that having a fingerprint scanner on a door means that nefarious persons can't enter through that door. Don't think that a fingerprint scanner on a car ignition will keep thieves from driving away in it. Etc.
The good news is that this might mean it is better for the thieves to just scan your finger, instead of needing to cut it off. They'll get one that doesn't need refrigeration that way. Unfortunately, this can only be done with fancy custom academic prototype 3d printing, not off-the-shelf models, so for now the answer for thieves of biometric-protected items is still to cut the finger off and apply an electric current.
My solution is simpler: I don't put anything on a mobile device that needs strong protection. Just because it is possible to bank from a phone app doesn't automatically mean there is a great use case for it. Internet banking from a physically secure desktop computer seems like a much better setup to me. But I've had that since the 90s.
If I really, really wanted to check my balance from my phone, I could actually just call the 800-number and have a computer read it to me. And it is much safer, because I can't do transactions that way; only check the balance.
I think the word you were looking for was "what." A wat is a type of temple.
And in other basic facts that you missed, it was described that capacitive touch works by detecting small electrical currents that are present in living humans but not in dead humans. The implication is not, as you surmised, that 3d-printed items are alive. The implication was that they can have arbitrary levels of electrical current applied through some unspecified means.
If you don't care what words mean... you won't understand them. Golly gee, what a surprise!
You can have a list of demands, I'll just keep my weather data.
And it isn't just the radar, there is lots of precipitation and hydrologic data that you need flash to display in a mapped format, or even just to get hourly data instead of daily.
I don't think you'll convince Congress to provide money to write all new web apps, but you're welcome to write demand letter to your congressperson.
Luckily there is an information glut. Just try a different site; use their suckage as part of the selection process. People who can't be bothered to build sites that degrade gracefully usually have other problems in their information transmission process anyways.
If you only use a handful of addons, and they're all well known, and you're using the same ones for years, then it might not be a problem for addons to run with the same privileges as other user software.
It is not automatically a given that application plugins, whatever the name, have to be "apps" that are fun little throw-away nonsense things that you would casually install and need to be protected from. There is room in the world for people who only want computer tools, or want tools separate from toys.
convert celcius to Farenheit and Kelvin with 4 decimal places of accuracy using only integer math on an 8 bit micro, no you can not use ANY libraries at all
This is why the world loves gcc and libc:) It isn't that hard with just the "standard library," but it sure is without any library! That first little bit of help is the most valuable.

They have a lot of timber, they could come at us with millions of biplanes.
But in either case, what next?

Nope. Google actually is the ad company, so instead of selling information to an ad company, they just keep it, and sell ads.
I thought that happened 10+ years ago, where were you?
I still shop at the local independent bookstore...

JavaScript is the *only* way to have anything other than a simple HTML only static website.
As somebody who spent years in the web-dev trenches, all I can say to this is... ROFLCOPTER!!!1!!!
Or as a consultant I know would say, "Premium Client. Double the rate."
Luckily there is an information glut. Just try a different site; use their suckage as part of the selection process. People who can't be bothered to build sites that degrade gracefully usually have other problems in their information transmission process anyways.
Much of the free government GIS data, and mapped weather data, radar, etc.
If you only use a handful of addons, and they're all well known, and you're using the same ones for years, then it might not be a problem for addons to run with the same privileges as other user software.

I usually assume it is all a conspiracy to prevent me from accessing government precipitation analysis and weather radar data.
I'm using Ruby for portable code, and plain C for Android-only. There are lots of options. The world is full of plenty.
I do still end up writing a few lines of glue in Java, though.
