A sage old electrical engineer about laughed me out of the room back '97 when I told him I seriously thought MEMS would be the next big thing. You know what? I think he is still laughing.
You have the right to a reasonable amount of privacy on your own property. The fact that someone bought a drone does not grant them the privilege of violating your right to privacy.
While I'm certain the politicos who came up with this idea had nothing but the best intentions in mind they have in fact mandated sites keep a trove of data that will prove irresistible to blackhats. How many people will be blackmailed or have their lives turned upside down ala Ashley Madison over retained data that falls into nefarious hands before this ill conceived plan meets its Waterloo?
How is this any different than calling them up and telling them what is broken?
Thank you for calling the City of Detroit. Para obtener instrucciones en español por favor presione 1 ahora. Your call is very important to us. Due to the current high volume of calls it will be approximately NINETY-ONE minutes until a representative is available to take your call. To leave your phone number for a call back instead press 3 now,
My biggest gripe with using an Android phone is that the phone unlocks during calls even when they placed/answered via a hands-free Bluetooth device. Answering a call via Bluetooth with your phone in your pocket unlocks it and starts feeding the UI random screen clicks. People have been filing bugs to the Android team over this issue since 2011 and it has never been addressed, and the newer bugs keep getting pushed to lower and lower priority. Its safe to say at this point that Android butt dialing is now a feature and is included by design.
Its nice to see efforts to drive the complexity out of the design/implementation of safe code but this won't due much to improve the already error prone task of debugging optimized code. You don't always have the luxury of running a debug build, especially when analyzing a crash dump from a customer and templated/STL C++ constructs are often too complex for debuggers to parse properly. Hopefully these efforts reduce the number of crashes enough to justify the added complexity of debugging the crashes that still occur.
Normally I would applaud such innovative technology being adopted but right now the blackhats seem to be winning. The era of gansta engineering is holding us all back from a better future.
Larabee became Xeon Phi and Knights Corner based Xeon Phi cards have been on sale for quite some time. The next version will be Knights Landing and is supposed to go public sometime this year, IIRC.

And we all know how moths feel about that.

There was also in that all the unix code that linus stole and put into Linux.
Shh... Don't wake the trolls

Really? Are they going to start jailing kids for speaking Pig Latin and Ubbi Dubbi too?
This is yet another instance of ignorant fear mongers attempting to ban what they don't understand.
I wonder how far up the executive ladder of Southland Corporation Mike Damone managed to climb before the buyout?
and completely invade your privacy
Since when has loss of privacy every been too high of a price to pay for the smugness of technological superiority?

But are they compatible with my Monster Cable audiophile grade CAT 5e cables?

How many of these URLs already exist and how much malware are they hosting?
I don't know which bothers me more, xenophobic headlines on the front page of /. or xenophobic US presidential candidates.
Put Linux on all laptops out of the factory and they will use Linux.
That has been tried and it failed miserably

Add a Copenhagen wheel to that bike and suddenly bicycle trips become enjoyable for all but the most sedentary among us.
