That's pretty much what I was going to reply but more detailed.
Although I wonder about the container costs as people shipping from china must get some really cheap shipping rates to be able to send me a part for $0.99 with free shipping
Even a stamp costs $0.49 here in the states. I could not reship the same item to the other end of the state for the same price let alone halfway around the world.
I was unaware you could buy a car direct from Toyota or Honda. I don't have any good technology examples as for instance there are no fully us made televisons.
Remember a few years ago when a tariff was placed on imported tires and the prices shot out of sight because American tire manufacturers where given near exclusive control of the market?
This is the United States price fixing is much more common than competition.
It actually does cost more to make stuff here in the states even if you make it with the same crap quality as the junk china cranks out if you want it to last then it costs even more than that.
That's why you see a lot of products that say assembled in the USA (yeah they taped over the shipping label thats about all the assembly they did here) and cost like they were us made.
First oh now they are worried about china activities in space maybe they can get some of that military cash sent to NASA We could have a rover parked there in the spot china has picked out before china even gets theirs launched. If anyone cared enough about space or space defense to fund it.
Second China is going to open up their lunar program to private companies? I bet their last rover having all its wheels lock up had something to do with that.
Otherwise Rick and Morty Is not a successor to futurama.
Well unless you also consider ben 10 omniverse to be a continuation of any of the preceding ben 10's. In which case what the hell is wrong with you Mr. Nielsen?
While I personally would prefer netflix to have a larger library instead of going after original content. There are a lot of other shows I'd like to see more of like red dwarf... just as long as its not made anywhere near the united states That was one fked up pilot.
Just to note after further research (google) the US embassy's are not considered us soil so that idea is out either way.
And for your last point have you ever heard anyone call mccain on his non 50 state birth? Ever?
Hopefully reporting in your area is better than mine. Because that wasn't reported at all here. Probably one of the benefits of living in a red state. Hey while we're at it Did your state opt out of medicare expansion too? Nice having all those people screwed over in that gap huh?
Its rather funny because we had claims like this about obama and he was born in hawaii which just so happens to be one of the fifty US states.
John mccain however was born at the Coco Solo Naval Station in Panama. Did you know that's not in one of the fifty states its just a US territory?
Ergo john mccain was not born in the "United States" yet obama is the one still hounded today for his birth certificate......
Ted Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It's my understanding that there is a US embassy in Calgary so I suppose he could have been born there. Or his parent's could have been us citizens. Im sure we will get to hear about it later but Afaik out of the three I mentioned he is the only one that was not born on us soil. Well unless Canada is a part of the united states someone forgot to tell me about.
A few days ago I discovered my ping was lower going through a vpn in China from the US back to the US over a 4g connection than it was without a vpn on Anik F2 in the US
When al jazeera america started They geoblocked the US from the al jazeera english online stream.
So yeah I'm rather glad that it's gone It means we will get access to the main stream again. Instead of watered down news run through american censors.
Media player classic on windows uses ffdshow which makes use of ffmpeg. Iirc mplayer also uses ffmpeg. But they are not the only ones a lot of video players rely on ffmpeg on the back end.
Personally I don't like tinywall because it doesn't ask me about everything like zonealarm did but its a fraction of the size. I have vlc installed but I have never used it for streaming as such its has never been given permission through the local firewall. But yes if you use it to stream video you would most likely have it set to always allow. I don't know widely used it is for streaming but I personally haven't used it to stream video in the last what 5 years or so.
And yes this requires the user to at minimum be able to recognize that vlc.exe does not require internet access to play a local file.
Its like UAC Its completely useless if you click allow to everything. But UAC is so naggy on the default setting that everyone always clicks yes Every time you turn a computer on that's been off for about a week BING do you want to allow jucheck.exe to make changes to your computer? (hell no! but thanks for reminding me to disable java's auto updater) damn adware installing auto updater.
I always click no if a uac prompt takes over my screen if its that friggin important ill run the program again with admin rights. Mostly its just auto updaters that think they ought to be able to do anything they like. *I am looking at you Google newer is always better chrome.*
Its a new Trojan so? How did it get on the machine? Did they use a zero day exploit? That would be news.
Iirc a Trojan just installs something else when run something else had to put it on the system. Typically a drive by exploit from an ad network.
I could make a autoit script that would download and install Microsoft office while claiming to install libreoffice. You could call that a Trojan too right?
Good to know. I tried to find information about how radioactive they really were a few years ago but was never able to find anything useful.
Otherwise unless they can make nukes that are safe after use eg:safe enough people can live at ground zero within a year without worry of radiation. I just don't see a lot of practical use anywhere even in warfare. The goal is often to destroy the enemy not destroy the enemy and make a large track of land unlivable for the next several years.
Nukes are like coal power plants they only look cheaper because you can't see all the hidden costs.
But idk we have hundreds of them and people keep trying to figure out something we can do with them. No ones been able to do anything with them yet. Best I can come up with is cut them up and make garden planters and take the radioactive parts and make some nice mox fuel run a few homes.
Netflix has profiles for different users on a single account but its not compatible with older netflix clients.
I would not call the profiles features sub accounts though as the profiles are not password protected and you have to trust everyone on your account not to change the password nuke your viewing history or swap to your profile and watch an entire season of mlp.
I want to know why a phone is considered to be immune to attacks while locked. A desktop machine is vulnerable to a local attacker if its on as afaik ram is still not encrypted. I seem to remember a while back there was a way to read the memory and unlock the computer over firewire.
A iphone can still perform tasks while locked so assuming you have a computer that it has synced with before you should be able to get local access (even if it means waiting for a jailbreak)
Afaik ram is not encrypted on the iphone either and while difficult to access due to its proprietary nature you should still be able to grab information from running apps.
Of course I don't know anything about ios after 6.1.6 so things could be different now.
Kind of like those self encrypting hard drives they sell Totally worthless unless the drive happens to be off at the time.

Reminds me of my old dialup isp several years back $19.95/mo then they stopped hosting their own dial up servers.
I found another isp using the same dialup number for $4.95/mo
Bet that saved them a lot of money.
I believe if we were to make one in the USA at this point in time it would be about $2,000 instead of $700.
That's good because a tool from harbor freight is expected to do exactly that last for only one use.
Harmlessly like mercury or harmlessly like dissolvable stitches?
You mean they've already destroyed themselves with supernova weapons so we can't find them?
First oh now they are worried about china activities in space maybe they can get some of that military cash sent to NASA We could have a rover parked there in the spot china has picked out before china even gets theirs launched. If anyone cared enough about space or space defense to fund it.

It's not.
But it's fun to discuss.

SSD? Or is it just that good at reducing the shock to the hdd? Even parked I don't know of any laptop hdds that would handle that.

Its a bit far from April 1st. Anyone else thinking of the Vivoleum candles from the yes men?
I think you meant http://www.imdb.com/title/tt02...
That imdb link is to a 5 minute short.

This is news! A new critical zero-day vulnerability affecting millions of computers.
And here we thought drm free video files were safe.
Whelp another good reason to have a decent firewall.
Its a new Trojan so? How did it get on the machine? Did they use a zero day exploit? That would be news.
Iirc a Trojan just installs something else when run something else had to put it on the system. Typically a drive by exploit from an ad network.
I could make a autoit script that would download and install Microsoft office while claiming to install libreoffice. You could call that a Trojan too right?
I've been looking for inexpensive 8tb drives for nvr's what I have read is that the SMR drives can't handle the load of 24/7 video recording at 4MBps.
Plus I don't think you could run a raid 6 or even a raid 1 array on seagate drives that large and be able to replace them faster than they failed.
I certainly wouldn't want to trust a single drive with 8tb of data.
Good to know. I tried to find information about how radioactive they really were a few years ago but was never able to find anything useful.
Otherwise unless they can make nukes that are safe after use eg:safe enough people can live at ground zero within a year without worry of radiation.
