Yes, but apart from that , what have the Romans, er, Bell Labs ever given us?

If you have status with an airline, then stopovers become more relaxing with access to lounges (food, drinks, internet etc.) plus many have areas where you can get some sleep, so economy might become more feasible.

Diazepam is definitely useful, and 5-10mg ought to be enough to let you have a decent rest on flights between 6-12h long, I've found. But you'll probably be a bit groggy on arrival, so depending on your immigration status and the

OK, so what then? Lets try some MBA-approved brainstorming - nothing is wrong here, ideas are what is important! - A carefully calculated series of beatings? - The 'naughty step' for at least five minutes? - Some sort of heavy-dut

Yeah, I should have emphasized the historical aspect more - this was the nineties, when those protocols didn't exist and SSL wasn't as widely deployed. Although, it's probably still a sort of vestigial, holdover opinion from

Partly, but also because it is easier to authenticate as not being spoofed or faked. Faxes have a 'sending number' that is transmitted as part of the protocol, and caller ID allows checking the source, whereas email senders can be

I think there's an assumed split between infrastructure providers (ISP, PSTN, telco) and service providers (webmail, hosting, etc.) and fax only needs the former.

From a comment below, it seems some instructions (BCD related) were patent encumbered, so removing them means less royalties per chip and possibly a big saving, especially since you probably don't need binary coded decimal in a toy lik

The 'too mentally taxing' bit and poor road quality are obviously good points, I agree, and make driving at speed less pleasant, but they are external to the car, and its handling capabilities...

I think Ferrari, Porsche, et al would beg to differ. Most high end Mercedes, Audi or BMW cars are limited to 155 mph but you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference in ride quality between the top 50 mph of the range and the bottom 50

No, sugar is not physically addictive, unlike nicotine. There is a clear difference. Now, sure, people with certain mental or psychological issues can become addicted to sugar, but the same could be said about pretty much anything, its not

Which part of an MBA syllabus deals with suicidally insane employees, again? I'm guessing the bit about liability insurance coverage, maybe? I'm 100% willing to bet it's not a section on how to help and retain employees wit

No it wasn't, it was well documented in marketing, sales and technical literature/documentation.

It's annoying, I use Twitter as my main social network outlet, and post there regularly, and it was always convenient to have the posts mirrored on Facebook, since many friends don't use Twitter. Twitter is more of a work related

How exactly is using Alexa giving up personal privacy? The device isn't recording your conversations you realise?

Of course, and that's why you don't have to make several attempts each time you want to turn on the lights. Sure, sometimes it misunderstands you, but the error rate is similar to that of normal conversation. I never thought I&#

This is exactly what was done in the paper[0] the drawings came from. And, actually, it was the chain of the bike, not the frame, that had most errors. The results are also broken down by gender, and are interesting. For male non-cyclists t

Not sure how this can't work, it's just audio jamming, same as for EM waves. You just need to broadcast sufficient noise to cover the signal, i.e. the S:N ratio is such that the receiver (crisp packet, microphone, etc.) can no lon

SMS interception is hardly a low bar for attackers. If you are being targeted by someone with these capabilities then there is a lot more you have to worry about. Many other 2FA mechanisms would be similarly vulnerable to an attacker with t

For small values of "really nice", that is. A state-of-the-art Samsung or Pixel phone is much closer to USD 1000 that USD 100 these days.
