Android Permissions says use Microphone.

The EULA even says:

Proves that people just click "OK".

> NoScript for Firefox 57 will be released today. Don't worry, be happy.

It was today already 3 days ago.

Whilst most of my bookmarks were there, Xmarks seems to be dropping the "keyword" field from bookmarks. I've resorted to using Firefox Sync now, because life's too short to keep trying to fix Xmarks stuff-ups.

"Not Happy Jan".

Now what will I prop up my monitor with?

(Actually, I'm surprised it's taken this long for YP to die).

Does this mean that employers will be able to breathalyse employees to detect those who say they've had the flu but are chucking a sickie?

About time.

When I had a blackberry smartphone, all the data was routed through Canada. If I visited the Steam Store, I could find a game at a certain price, add it to my basket at which point I was promoted to log in, and the price would magically change (typically going up for an Australian-registered Paypal/Credit Card).

noip is just a text substitution of an IP address, and nothing to do with the actual traffic.

It's a meaningless quotation.

You might just as well say that 100% of abuse happens over IP.

So now your 20 character "just on the way home" text message blows out to a couple of thousand bytes, and your telco provider has to send your SMS as 10 SMS now, and charges your accordingly.

Run all your Windows App in a VM, and when you upgrade the physical hardware, migrate the VM (keep the same VM UUID, etc).

Steam games are consistently higher priced - and you can't get round it with VPNs or Paypal - the credit card # proves you're in Australia.

And it's not like it's priced in Aussie dollars with a mediocre exchange rate - The games are priced on the same store.steampowered.com website in USD dollars.

So why more expensive now? Ah - because steam games would undercut the price of boxed games in stores.

Juvenile hackers with an overdeveloped sense of self-importance, holding people to ransom with the equivalence of IT terrorism.

Being in full-remission for cancer (thanks God!), I'm working for an employer which gives 1 yr sick leave in a rolling 2-year window. It's the only benefit worth talking about (eg we have no coffee), but it's such a biggie, it's keeping me put.

I still wonder why Windows has both Notepad and Write.

Yes, but MAC filtering is useful in addition to other defences (ie defense in depth)

WPA2 PSK, and
MAC filtering, and
firewall, and
