"Click OK to connect mouse"

It leave a bit of a chicken and egg problem for normal users of systems without a keyboard built in.

The main German studio "Crytek" is still working. They are closing subsidiary studios, so I don't think it will immediately cause any problems.

Its a name, specifically for a country. You can't sue someone and take away their name. What if I sued the US government and then got awarded their name, and they had to change theirs to something else? That's ridiculous.

While the changes are good, I do not think they go far enough.

Allowing full monitoring from someone two hops away from a suspect still can involve a lot of people. What if a suspect were to call Time Warner, then I was to call the same number later that day? It could potentially be a very large number. Also what qualifies as being a suspect? It may be that there are a half million suspects, and a majority of the earth's population is two hops away.

It also doesn't remove the First Amendment violations on the National Security Letters.

"running at 1080p"
Take that, Xbone.

So they are selling vulnerabilities to hackers rather than telling the source maintainers? That's irresponsible at best.

If you want a good lg phone, buy a Nexus 5 without a contract (~$350) and get monthly plan with unlimited everything plan ~$45.

What kinds of countermeasures are available? You can't intercept a laser, or is there some kind of coating they use? You can't easily dodge with the amount of fuel most satellites have. If there is another full scale war vs a major wold power, I don't think our satellites will last long. Hopefully we have practiced using other sorts of navigation.

For those who don't read articles, this appears to happen if you don't auto-update your software and are running php. Not to many details on what versions of software they are using, but it may be a time for a sudo apt-get upgrade.

This is what I came to ask. I imagine any system with a lot of sensors and measurements of success (like the subway uptime) would be the low hanging fruits.
If the idea of self driving cars becomes popular in the next 15 years, you could mitigate a lot of traffic issues with correct planning (assuming a majority of the drivers use it).

If Facebook really wanted to help reduce global bandwidth and was willing to play hardball, they would just switch their images to webP suddenly, and display a message to update your browser if you cant see them. Microsoft would have to fold if suddenly their browser didn't show images. Not sure if FB is large enough to survive the backlash, but if they are we could see new codecs in IE within the month.

Who's to say they don't have a few coders working on better video codecs? They seem at least to be hiring for video chat: https://www.facebook.com/caree... Every bit counts with a site their size. Google doesn't even close its tags.

That is a really shitty comparison, they cheat and try to make Java look a lot slower than it is.

The Java version they used was 5 years old, asked the system what the total memory and free memory used was during the loop multiple times per iteration (none of the other ones ask in the loop even once), and uses immutable Strings rather than a StringBuilder.

Java, using Spring Boot with an AngularJS frontend.

"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers."

- Socrates, 469-399 B.C.

Don't worry too much. The children will grow up, and invent some shit that we haven't even thought of yet. Sure they may seem dumb to us now, but a few will learn and lead the rest.
