If you have a model that stores data in an SD card you may find Sleepy Head useful.

It sounds as if your argument is a variant on 'security by obscurity', here hoping that malware creators don't reverse engineer bug fixes (they do). As bug fixes are reverse engineered, in your example, the malware could be c

True, but there are only four 'big banks' Barclays, HSBC;, Lloyds Banking Group, and The Royal Bank of Scotland Group. 100% coverage might be quite time consuming, but getting most the market is not going to be excessively hard.

It's a carefully managed strategy to ... make their customers happy? If a company acts in a great way (e.g. replacing slightly dodgy equipment) whenever a customer lets them know they have an issue that's great for the customer,

Yes, he would be looking at 12 months in prison for that http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/a_to_c/bail/#a32 I'm not sure why the parent thinks he would be looking at 10 years?

No, he was on bail when he went in to the embassy, and the maximum penalty (in a Crown court) for skipping bail in the UK is 12 months (which I imagine he would get). See: http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/a_to_c/bail&#x

You're right, he is guilty of skipping bail, of which the maximum penalty is 12 months in prison. See: http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/a_to_c/bail/#a19

Of course there have been 6 core processors before the Ryzen chips, the difference is Ryzen brought them to the mainstream. The Ryzen chip is a third of the cost of the Intel chip and doesn't require the expensive enthusiast X99 platfo

Nope. 6 core 12 thread CPUs came to the mainstream a while ago, AMD brought them. The Ryzen 5 1400 is $160. Intel is playing catchup.

They use the very best equipment, often deployed throughout the area and controlled remotely so it can be hidden in a tree or whatever but controlled by radio from a nearby base.

Yes, well it makes sense that Valve are not going to pay Microsoft 30% of every Steam sale via Steam installs from the Windows store as it'd mean Valve would get 0% of that sale themselves, and they're the ones who built the store

I think downloading an illegal copy of something is still illegal though right? If I download a copy of a DVD for instance I've committed a crime in the UK at least. I agree it's not due to anything specific about Apple - it'

I think the illegal bit is using an illegal copy of their OS to install as you don't hold the copyright and so aren't allowed to make a (modified) copy of the installer that works on the non-Apple hardware.

The fact of the matter is that both sides believed the other side was lying during the campaign (e.g. Osborne's punishment budget, Cameron saying he'd invoke article 50, and Project Fear in general).

In 2011 the UK had a referendum on whether to change from FPTP to The Alternative Vote[0]. The people voted No overwhelmingly (68% No, 32% Yes). As with the Brexit referendum, those that lost complained afterward that the public was mislead

Ah. It turns out FetLife were also banned from Coinbase because Coinbase doesn't want to be cut off as a result.

by robhu 10y ago
Surely it is possible and only requires a majority to support you.

by robhu 10y ago
If it is provable that Coinbase is being used as a means of bypassing VISA et al's restrictions on sites like FetLife, what is stop VISA et al doing the same to Coinbase?

It's quite a reasonable assumption. The main complaint about migration in the UK is with respect to low skilled migrants. As the UK was totally unable to control EU migration (a lot of which is low skilled migrants from Eastern Europe)

Have the FBI taken similar action against American car manufacturers, or only European ones?

I thought it was that modern house cats have evolved to have their purring contain that similar sound, rather than that they selectively enable a sub-carrier.

The banking API stuff is mandated by Europe (PSD2) and the Competition and Markets Authority. The banks didn't come up with the APIs by getting in a room together - the authorities are imposing the APIs on them.

That's cool, but it's rated to 60W and I believe the 15" MBPs are 87W.

It's not officially supported and so probably isn't a good business investment. The Razer Core is (I believe?) the first non-chinese/ebay/type-thing solution that is officially meant to work on laptops (other than Razer

I am saying from the perspective of a Mac using developer, wouldn't it be nice if Apple offered them the choice of choosing low end GPU for better battery life or high end GPU with less battery life, which may (and for many is) more ap

I believe the top spec MBP and top spec Blade Pro are similarly priced?

by robhu 10y ago
Yes, and wouldn't it be good to let the pro buying the laptop make that choice?

by robhu 10y ago
Well, the other advantage is that it can run Windows and OS X. I suspect if OS X were available (legally and supported) for other laptop hardware the sales of MBPs would fall. Who would rather get a MBP over a Razer Blade Pro for example?
