I find it difficult to side with Delta when they're trying to shirk their legal obligations to their customers. There's a comment in the video that this is david vs goliath, and they give david some leverage. I think that's

There's a strong chance Delta don't have much legal/fiscal presence in the UK. Probably also why they didn't feel a pressing need to pay fines in the UK. There's a much higher chance that Twitter have a legal and f

The growth seems entirely in line with the curve. I'm not sure it needs much explaining, let alone guesses.

It looks like the static is tiled. So it's random (enough) within a tile, but you can perceive the tiling.

To be fair, that's pretty much the intended usage. The SSN is supposed to enable them to figure out exactly which John Smith they're looking at. It's a serial number, not a shared secret. It sounds like your college treated

You can use both at the same time, but you can only use two cores. eg 2xARM, 2xRV, or one of each.

yes - two votes allows you to detect a disagreement, three votes allows two votes to win.

It's a bit of both - you do have to pull out your wallet, but there's also an approval process. Just because you can buy a gTLD, doesn't mean you can buy .con

.local being used for mDNS while Microsoft were using it in AD examples/documentation is another good example. .internal is just admitting there's only so many times we can repeat the same mistake before we start to look silly.

I'm pretty sure this is why everything we got in the first 48 hours from CS was stressing that the issue was with a "channel file" (threat definitions, content updates, etc). Their staged update process is for the falcon driv

So straight up I have to admit that this isn't my wheelhouse - I support a bunch of developers who seem to enjoy breaking things. Safety-critical or life-critical just isn't my thing. If breaking stuff is half the fun, you proba

This is going to sound incredibly cynical, but I'm convinced the primary reason for Smart TVs to exist is to sell TVs. My current TV is 17 years old. It's 720p, plasma, and yes I want to replace it. But functionally it's as

I'm not really sure cloud has much blame here either. Imagine it's 1998 and Norton push a new definition file that makes NAV think kernel32 is a virus. The only real difference today is that always-on means we all get the update

It does seem to somewhat skew the aim of the site. Account for all the black kids riding rings, account for those near depth, and then watch to see which changes. I got bored before I found any variation on the theme. I did find a couple w

It's part of PE (phys.ed) here. It was just like any other class - one morning a week for one school year, you're dragged off down the muni pool.

New words are invented all the time, but girl, boy, dog you'd expect to be ancient concepts with ancient etymologies. 'noob' has an obvious etymology in new-neue-niwe. The idea that 'dog' doesn't blows my mind

This is how I store my one-off, unicorn, proprietary, or just "retro enough that I don't need 50 of them" cables. Fold the cable around the width of my palm, then stick it in a TP tube, stored end-up in a drawer with both co

Within the EU at least, "sin taxes" work well for this because carrying them across the border for personal consumption is the only legal workaround. For most other things, if they're notably cheaper in another EU country, I

The limit for duty-free has existed for a long time (in 2002 I bought a a 5x10x20 pack on my way out of the country, and was warned I wouldn't be able to bring it back. This is quite a distinct memory as I remember quite proudly tellin

It's worth pointing out that the personal allowance is usually for personal use, intent to sell does not come under personal allowance. Usually this is near-impossible to enforce, but attempts to organise/aggregate these (which I

The second-last paragraph seems to cover this. In short, no - but it seems reasonable to believe this could be a solid stepping-stone on the path from here to there.

$40 shipping (to Europe) on a $45 paperback was a tough sell, but you're right - his SNMP "Networknomicon" was funnier than any book on the topic has any right to be. I think I read it in two sittings.

That's really not far off Scotland's "responsible access" (the proper term for the 'right to roam'). It's just more fleshed out. The Outdoor Access Code contains such gems as "You only have access ri

It doesn't sound like they're trying to kill them, since they're moving commercial usage to a subscription license. I'm not sure killing them actually makes a lot of sense - the products apparently share a lot of code wi

Not just third-party, but pre-existing solutions. The PR is announcing what's new, it's that simple.
