The problem with that is it's not "failing silently". The message is sending and the phone is just seen as off because it hasn't been disassociated with your Apple account.
Though, I'm sure there must be way to test for this...
> Dumb question: it's about the actions of the believers.
Except they aren't "believers".
They're just foodies that want better vegetables and cheese than your local "let them eat dirt" grocery chain will allow for.
They're just consumers in search of a better product.
The whole "believer" angle is just pure unadulterated nonsense.
Did you even read the rest of his post?
There is a file called documents/My Clippings.txt if I'm not mistaken. Some time ago, I wrote a simple program (kindleclip — https://github.com/gwolf/kindl... ) that presents you highlights, bookmarks and comments, allows you to search, either by book or by date. It's a GTK2 project built with Glade however, and I have not yet ported it to use current alternatives, but at least I believe the source to be quite readable/followable. Hope you find it useful.
^ This. While that may be a little cumbersome to sync it all, I think that's the best you'll probably get with the Kindle.
The person was clearly listing out multiple steps to take. Use Calibre (to manage your ebooks, maybe with plugins to strip DRM). Root your Kindle (to prevent it from communicating with Amazon in ways you don't control).
The person listed steps, yes. But failed to communicate what doing that would actually solve as his problem wasn't DRM or the device communicating with Amazon...
In many cases, it is the rich who live downtown near a subway and then won't have to pay a darn thing. Meanwhile, it is the poor and middle class who live in areas where you need a car. It's just not a moral cause to take transit. We'd all take transit if we lived near it and our work was near a stop as well and we could get there in a timely manner. It's just many people don't and so they drive.
Wouldn't this problem you mention be solved by more funding for transit?
Avoid custom domains for your login email address
Honestly, I don't think that would have helped. I doubt it's much harder to gain control of someone's gmail, yahoo or hotmail account if they are as motivated as it sounds like his attacker was.
Once you gain control of anyone's email account, even if the attacker doesn't have custom domains to hold for ransom, they could easily threaten bank accounts, etc etc.
The problem with this assumption is that Myspace's fall was a result of Facebook existing as its successor.
This.
I refused to use MySpace mostly due to the terrible "customization" that it allowed. I suspect that was the reason a lot of people switched over.
Considering how quick a misleading study by a top university could totally ruin their stock price, it was be stupid not to respond quickly.
The Starbucks app has much worse security problems; a photo of the 2D barcode cannot be revoked as a valid credential.
In the Starbucks app you can create a new card and then delete the old one. Or just go purchase another card and add it into the Starbucks app.
Considering they've ground-up rewrote Minecraft 3 times for iOS, Android, and XBox, I have a feeling that Minecraft may not always be in Java.
The system requirements of Windows 8.1 are identical to those of Windows 8, and they don't even differ noticeably from those of Windows Vista.
This is not entirely true. I have at least one machine that refuses to install because it's missing an instruction set that was made a requirement in Windows 8.1 (CMPXCHG16b) Link: http://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-confirms-some-older-amd-processors-do-not-support-windows-81
The processor is almost 10 years old which I guess is a good run, however.
Who knows what came before this guy took the stage.
I was at the event and I think the laughter was mostly caused by a dramatic change in tone compared to the previous speakers. He was a lot more intense in a way that at first came off as a joke.
I wonder if you said the same thing about Windows 95 when XP came out
Not to mention Panera internet (at least for me) is very slow compared to Starbucks and Panera also blocks VPN.
Make the comments wider and the stories on the front page a little easier to tell apart.
1) The comments are way too narrow. Look at a place like reddit. I think of slashdot as the more tech-oriented reddit where the empathizes is on commenting and reading the comments. Due to this, many people post long comments, having them all smashed just makes it harder to read. I don't come to Slashdot to read the articles, I come here to read the comments.
2) Right now on the front page it's difficult to glance and see each story because everything is the same color. Take a look at the current page - each story has a bright green line which makes them very easy to quickly scan and figure out which one you want to read.
