I would have thought any assets (be they physical or intangible like copyrights) held by Nazi leaders would have been confiscated by the allies at the end of the war, meaning the descendents of Goebbels would have no claim to the copyrights.
The SLS should be scrapped anyway, the only real reason it exists (at least in its current form) is to keep a bunch of contractors in key congressional districts in business after the end of the shuttle program.
The issue isn't "android" per se, its "Google Play Services" which is a big set of (AFAIK closed source and proprietary) libraries that many apps depend on to do stuff. If you want "Google Play Services" on your device you need to follow all the other Google rules. So the EU is saying that Google is using "Google Play Services" (something it has a dominant market position in since its the only provider of many of these services for Android apps) as a way to push other things in the Google stable (and hurting things not made by Google that compete with those other things)
I use SeaMonkey which is the descendent of the old Mozilla suite.
Its got all the same web engine stuff as Firefox does but it doesn't have the crappy UI or some of the other "unwanted" crap from Firefox.
Right now Microsoft has a JIT compiler running on a few platforms that translates
They aren't abandoning anything, just using LLVM instead of rolling their own JIT compiler on certain platforms where doing so makes sense.
Whats it going to take to get politicians elected (not just in New Zealand but in Australia, the USA, Europe and elsewhere) that are no longer in bed with the big media companies and no longer giving those companies whatever the hell they want?
WE get nothing at all. But the Congressmen supporting these bills get nice fat cheques from the big corporations who see net neutrality as a threat to their business model (especially those who make their money through the old legacy business model of selling linear channels instead of the new consume-what-you-want-when-you-want business model that entities like Netflix use)
The only times I tend to see UAC prompts are for software installs/update, changing system or privileged settings (e.g. anti-virus settings), running certain older software (games mostly) that need admin rights for some reason or running certain pieces of software that legitimately need admin rights to do their job (e.g. Process Explorer or the tool that I use to log GPU calls for a DirectX app)
The feds cant use a warrant obtained in the USA to require a US based company to hand over physical documents stored in a foreign company, why should they be able to do it for electronic documents?
If the feds REALLY need this data so badly, why dont they just go to Ireland or wherever the data is being held and get a warrant from there?
What SHOULD have happened in this case is that the kid should have been given a few days of detention. All of the teachers should have been made to change their passwords, not type them in when students can see and not let students use them. And the student body should have been given a warning that anyone caught messing with the computers or using the teachers passwords will get a few days detention.
If the same student re-offends (and continues to mess with the computers) they can then be given a suspension.
How do you make the rifled barrels for your AR-15s and AK-47s?
In the US you may be able to easily buy one but in Australia getting a barrel seems to be just as hard as getting a full gun (at least from my understanding)
3D printed gins are no different to any other home-made gun.
It doesn't matter if its 3D printed, machined with a lathe, hand-forged by a blacksmith or made on a production line, its still a gun and is still just as illegal or legal as any other gun (depending on what sort of gun it is and what jurisdiction you are in)
Why all the stories I hear about mass-lawsuits over piracy seem to be for crappy films like Dallas Buyers Club and that Hurt Locker thing.
Why hasn't Warner Bros filed a mass-lawsuit over piracy of the new Hobbit film? Or what about a lawsuit from Universal over the latest Fast & Furious film.
I am sure there are films out there that have been pirated a LOT more than Dallas Buyers Club (a film I hadn't even heard of before the lawsuit showed up) so why aren't we seeing these kinds of mass lawsuits on those films? (or if those lawsuits do happen, how come they dont get as much attention as the ones we hear about like this Dallas Buyers Club film?)
The number of people saved over the years by pilots doing things with airplanes that no computer system (or remote operator) could ever have done vastly outnumbers the number of people killed because of deliberate actions by pilots.
Examples of such heroic flights where lives may not have been saved without pilots in the cockpit include:
US Airways Flight 1549
British Airways Flight 9
Air Canada Flight 143
British Airways Flight 38
Northwest Airlines Flight 85
TACA Flight 110
United Airlines Flight 232
Reeve Aleutian Airways Flight 8
PURGE COMPLETE.
