The live-action version is a don't-care (rather like the new "Dune"). I'd much rather run the media I already have (signed book, in the case of "Dune") than whatever they're going to put on Netflix.
I've seen the "Dune" trailer enough to know that it has only a passing resemblance to the book. I expect the new "Cowboy Bebop" to have much the same resemblance to the original.
We already know that some products (from Apple, AFAIR) bypass VPNs and use the underlying network connection. How easy is it to verify that ALL of your network traffic goes through the VPN? I have switches that do port mirroring, so my SOHO network can be checked for bypass on the wired and WiFi connections, but I would need a much more expensive (and, perhaps, illegal for private use) stingray or the like to check for wireless data bypassing the VPN.
It's funny (odd) that some businesses won't allow remote desktop Linux connections but allow Android. Some day, when I'm REALLY bored, I'll dig back into Windows and figure out what I have to push into the networking stack to allow bypass of the supposedly secure VPNs (I haven't done any Windows kernel services since Server 2003, but that was easy).
NSWSES in Port Hueneme was a guest of the Seabees. There was a huge repository of IBM aperture cards. An aperture card was a standard-size card with punch codes for the item description (identifier, classification level,
We had a scanner that fed the punch data on a serial port and a scan of the image on a custom parallel data port. We took that in and fed it into a database, from which it could be printed, as before, displayed on a Sun workstation, and/or stored on large laser discs (data CDs being a infant technology at the time). The idea was to distribute the discs to the fleet (and other maintenance facilities, I suppose), along with the workstations, reducing the need for paper manuals. If you could look at some portion of the tech data data, for example for an AIM-9, you could either fix it, or schedule it for depot or disposition.
Made sense to us, and the engineering evaluation team from the Academy, but not the printing bureaucracy.
I doubt all of that paper made good ballast, but it was a lot of weight to put above the waterline, and the bulk would have been a better home for fuel and various ammunition.
Years ago, I had a great experience working on an early project to begin the US Navy's transition for paper manual (bulky, heavy, and almost irretrievable in a ship at sea) to digital storage. Think about how many manuals there are on a carrier: one for not only everything on the carrier, from the galley, to flight support, to the engines, electronics, and crew support, but for every bird (fixed wing and rotary wing) she carries.
We worked for a captain (equivalent for a full colonel in the Air Force) in weapon systems engineering who was accustomed to dealing with "tech types". We had a working, fully demonstrable instance on time, and within budget. Of course, when the bureaucrats in Naval Publishing and Printing found out they had conniptions. It took them, and their pet contractor, years to get back to where we had already been.
It is possible to find competent mid-level officers, but they need the backing of senior officers and the latitude to get the job done. Senior Air Force officers appear to be so aircraft-focused that they have no idea what to do with something like IT.
There is nothing described that would encourage me to spend 2 seconds on this crap, or, maybe I will spend a few seconds, just so I can down-vote it. I will dig out my DVD set and watch it, again and again.
"only a few of the calculations" would trigger the bug, but the user had no way of knowing which (the IRS even issued a "we don't care; you signed it, not the chip). For practical purposes it meant that ALL FP calculations were wrong.
No matter how miniscule the chances of a false positive, and the disastrous consequences for the file holder (some places still have the death penalty for child porn), since you have no way of knowing if an image on your phone/tablet(/Mac?) will generate a matching hash, you can not keep any there that Apple can access.
"badblocks" in Linux does a nice multiple pass write / read that is very easy for the CPU to do while it does things I want in the foreground. I do this after the first couple of the backups of the, as you put it, "old drive" directory tree. I was hoping to find a good link in this discussion, since I have 30+ plus drives: 44-pin and 40-pin IDE, SCSI of various flavors, and SATA of various performance specs.
This is a media blurb, we may have to wait for the pre-print.
Until the executives of hacked companies face hard time, or at least, complete impoverishment, they will NEVER commit the resources for proper defense. This has always been the problem. What did it cost the execs at Xperian, for example, when the credit records of tens of millions were exposed? Nothing.
According to the response I got from Netflix or Nvidia (I for get which ATM), the autoplay feature control is deliberately disabled on that platform. Works in Wii U, though.
I will try managing the "continue watching" link.
FWIW, Crunchyroll has broken that. I have seven episodes of various things completely watched sitting in my "Continue Watching" with 1 S (second).
It used to be that there was a home screen display of the users' choice of various applications, followed by highlights from those apps. Now it is just the highlights, so there's no easy way to get to the main screen of the app; you are always dropped into the video, forced to stop it and return to the app main screen. You can get to the main screen, but it is three clicks away. Also, specifically on Netflix, there is no way to look at the description without the video beginning to play, but if you don't watch it, it is stuck in your "continue watching" list forever. This pain in the ass "feature" is specific to the Shield TV, as it does not happen on the game console I have.
There must be a VP, or higher, level of executive in charge of annoying customers.
I was going to buy one for my mother, since her cable TV bill is egregious, but now, I'll have to look into Roku and Apple, even though I am not a fan of Apple's ecosystem.
Bought one. Doesn't even play videos from the unreachable USB port. I have too may other devices (streaming media player, game console, Pi 4B) to need that crap in my TV/Monitor.
If/when we get global samples of the same time period and span, then we can talk about a "shark extinction event". That one, two, or even five locations show a drop in shark apparent shark populations is something to be categorized as "interesting, needs more data", but means nothing. Globally, what else was happening? Locally, was there some other change to the environment to make it lass attractive to sharks?
Worth publishing the data to get others to add to it, but total fraud to attach any meaning to it.
Neutrons stick to protons because the energy needed to break the strong force bond isn't available most of the time. When there is sufficient energy, due to a high-energy photon or collision, neutrons often do break free.
Electrons don't crash into protons because the energy (mass) needed to convert them into a neutron isn't available most of the time. That difference in mass between a proton and a neutron is usually represented in a neutrino and a photon. When that isn't there, the electron settles into the lowest energy orbital it can reach. They are not "orbits" like you saw in 50's science classes and cartoons, but that is another class.
I've been using Cygwin since almost forever.
First used it back when a company's "desktop policy" was Windows 95. There were Sun workstations in the lab, but that was a huge productivity hit (fewer machines than programmers, travel between office and lab with documentation), so most of us used the Cygwin X server and shared the Suns in real time.
I keep a dual-boot Windows 7/10 laptop around for the very few corner cases where I am away from my LAN, and Linux/OpenBSD are not quite the right tool. Its twin, which gets more use runs, those. The Wintop, has Cygwin installed, and almost no Windows applications.
I may, eventually, try WSL, but I cannot imagine that this is anything but a ploy to allow corporate IT to shove Windows down every programmers' throat, rather than letting them use VMs on a Linux host.
Byte your tongue.
