How big a CPU do you need for this new "Rabbit Eye" technology?
My dad talks about old TV from back in the day. Next you'll be telling me we can still get radio in our cars!
[Personally I think it was all downhill once they took the build requirement out of the ham radio license exam.]
I don't check any luggage, ever. But even if I did, asking me to check my computer is like asking me to check medications. I can't risk it won't come out the other end. I doubt I'm alone
What nonsense is all this alternative/renewable energy talk? As our leader says: the future is in coal! Open the mines! dig that black ore from the ground and put it into the sky! And screw Paris and our obligation to the world while we're at it.
That's where the real jobs are. Let China and Germany, and well, the rest of the world have those puny jobs.. [interesting, well paying, lasting, fun, and beneficial to all as they may be.] We will be just fine with coal. Oh, and oil. And cars and factories that burn them in abundance. It's like a whole virtuous cycle of beauty and profit for.. somebody..
As the world economy shifts energy focus from Fossil/Carbon fuel to renewables, the US will be left in the dust while the rest of the world community moves into the global middle class. Although the environmental concerns are the most worrisome, the administration should look at the economic impact of holding onto carbon like babies hold onto their binkies. The rest of the world will solve this crisis as best they can, and the US will be.. what?
The line that "we don't have problems, we have opportunities" has always seemed like garbage to me, but it applies here. There are huge opportunities. And this time, we would, in fact, be ending hunger and curing cancer at the same time.
If none of the big five can use the ubiquitous and well supported MP3 standard to continue the interminable bludgeoning of the consumer, then it must be killed and replaced with something new - preferably expensive and requiring entire new hardware and CRM dongles - from which to further the feudal system of digital servitude to which we have, each of us, sworn fealty. [It was on page 67 of a terms of use document, somewhere.]
I'm no fan of Alphabet, but the music industry just had its best year in 20 thanks to streaming and digital music. Youtube is a big part of that ecosystem. The music industry may have legit complaints, but digital music hurting them isn't one of them.
And when the NSA provides clear evidence that proves Russian wrongdoing, they can make their case for renewed powers under 702. Until then, they can shut the fcc up. Its all just a FUD smokescreen. The NSA undermines the very constitution they are sworn to uphold defend and protect. "Protect" MY ASS!!
Nothing stifles innovation like laws, supported by Verizon/Comcast/Time Warner/ATT etc., preventing communities from building their OWN infrastructure for what should be a public utility. But, yes, it does stifle their profits, which they want to equate with innovation.
Its not. Communities building a telecom network operated for the common good.. new there's innovation.
This was reported in Slashdot on June 8. I seem to recall it was a defensive measure that it had to do with strategic alliances between Singapore and the west, combined with the proximity to China. I'm 100% behind it, although I can't imagine how it will work in the today's world.. From June 8:

Government workers in Singapore will return to a 1990s-level of net connectivity from May of 2017, as the domestic government has decided to block internet access on all of its 100,000 office computers. The decision has been made in the interests of national security, although the Draconian policy will still permit workers to forward work mails to private email addresses as necessary. Workers' own devices will be allowed to connect to the internet normally by special terminals being provided in early trials, while intra-departmental connectivity will presumably be maintained via VPN tunneling. The move comes in the direct wake of a visit to Singapore from the U.S. Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter late last week, promoting stronger security ties with Singapore in the face of the rise of China in the region.

I thought Safe Harbor was overturned by the EU specifically to prevent this type of abuse.. and now we have Privacy Shield coming [specifics tbd] to which I would think Paypal must also adhere. They clearly intend no such adherence.

No way!?!?

You wouldn't have to program an infinitely fast computer, except the one time.

Maybe not a good prophylactic, but perhaps it makes these mothers better parents?

I've always thought crop circles were an enduring, elaborate, and completely nonsensical hoax, deserving mention here
