If you're deployed for six months and you like to read you've brought your own e-reader loaded with books you want to read with you.
Or not... Or your e-reader can go berserk, borken or otherwise unusable. Shit happens. Having 300 books around is *much* better than nothing.
I believe the proper term is now shocked and awed.
There are plenty of places in PG, Fairfax, Montgomery, and Arlington for under 500 a month. My wife was making 19k a year as a UMD grad student just a few years ago and was renting rooms in Silver Spring and Gaithersburg for $300 a month. Somehow she saved 10k a year. After she got a real job, she paid about the same for a room in Philly near the italian market.
You can get signifigant savings if you are frugal and put the effort into it. Most people don't put the effort or feel entitled. They then go into debt or buy stuff they don't need which makes investors wealthy.
Are there still people running windows ?
Many more than all other platform combined, at least on the desktop.
Big difference... first, of course is that Android is opensource. Don't like it, go make your own distro.
It is only in your dream. The version of Android sold on 98% of all phones worldwide is well locked and closed, thankyouverymuch.
Non removable battery isn't that much of a problem really. I've had plenty of phones (including iphones) and never changed a battery on any of them.
But the performance crippling OS updates.... I have to say I don't know what you're talking about.
My iPod doesn't even have a screen. First gen iPod Nano.
It has a screen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I...
It's not English nor does it has English roots, so they don't like it. It's simple really. You can apply that to many things Americans don't like.
Do birds masturbate?
With which hand?
What did you pay $500 for?
My inlaws are visiting from overseas so no insurance but:
$40 for a check up
$80 for x-rays
$20 for anti-biotics
All in cash.
Later we found out that we could have gotten it all for free via the county health department. I guess it depends on what you are getting treated for.
Paul Kersey?
I don't get why we have to say "the developer"?
It was Robin Seggelmann that submitted this bit of buggy openssl code. He either works for the NSA or is grossly incompetent...
If competence were a requirement for being a XXX, how many XXX do you think would be out of work?
Please replace XXX by any kind of job title. Cook. Car repair. Teacher. CEO. Anything fits, really.
If you learned anything from Stuxnet, you would no that no data is secure whenever it's online. No data at all. Stuxnet had zero-days for all OSes that noone knew about before it was discovered, and not just one of them. Chances are your system is already compromised and nobody even knows about it. And if it is not, it could be at any time. We closed a door with Heartbleed, but there are countless doors still open, just waiting to be discovered.
I honestly don't know what you're talking about. There's been a vulnerability disclosed. Fixing it is trivial. Regenerating your keys is (or should be) trivial. End of story.
Yes, this vulnerability is scary, and even more scary thing is that there are probably other vulns that bad in the wild, and most likely plenty of them. But this is over.
When I first saw Stuxnet and the extent of this shit, I lost all confidence in online data, for good. Heck, Stuxnet even infiltrated an offline network. Heartbleed is shit compared to this. The point is that everything that is online can be breached. End of story. We closed one door yesterday, I'm sure there are still 100 others open. So you see? No big deal really.
Ubuntu did provide apt patches for all affected versions, including those not supported anymore (12.10 comes to mind). They did it right. If you had configured your security patches to install automatically, it was even transparent. I don't see a problem there.
Any given program will expand to fill available memory.
