My take is it's a consequence of their vertical integration. Maybe they saw all along, by not even allowing the option to change, there's no way they could be forced to present a rolodex of possible choices - since there's on

Is type supposed to be "text" instead of "number" in the inputmode snippet? Wouldn't it still strip leading zeros the way it is now (with type set to "number")?

I'm assuming you're referring to this [0]. Looks like the two options are either the video is removed, or put behind an age gate. Isn't the FTC's issue here that they simply don't believe YouTube when it comes to

The notion that it should take 40 million pounds to fix this is just so reflective of the disconnect between the bureaucracy and the people that actually get work done that I probably couldn't think of a better example if I tried. I ca

Same. And it's a shame too - the new Jedi game looks really nice. But it's got that scarlet EA on it, and that's an automatic no from me. Stories like these reassure me that my boycotting is justified.

The nuance with software is that we made up the system in which all of these programs are put together. Just like in math, we made up the constructs and rules that define what an algorithm or a theorem or a function can be . Because ther

So, is Cisco breaking the law by making rogue de-auth available? Is there then any circumstance where it is acceptable to use?

I really disagree with that ruling and interpretation of that quoted part of the law. Jamming to me means radio interference via indiscriminate analog noise. If we expand the definition of jamming to the protocol level like exemplified here
