He/she means that companies won't invest in the Research & Development when they can't patent the result to help ensure they can make back their investment (and more).
Echo's voice recognition is good, but the intelligence behind it just isn't there yet. I'm curious if the SDK for it will mean more usability, but for now it's (for the most part) an audio streamer, timer, clock, and shopping list maintainer...
I'm pretty sure it's not a bluetooth speaker. WiFi speaker maybe, but pretty sure it's not bluetooth...
+ is now broken in google search. It now searches Google+ pages. (that is, it's fucking useless)
Woosh!
I do this, and I need one of two Yubikey Neo's to decrypt.
I was running OpenWRT on a WRT54GS, but moved and ended up with 50Mbit Comcast (crap) rather than ~2Mbit Sonic.net (awesome! but too damn slow due to distance from CO). If discovered the WRT was limiting thruput to ~12Mbit rather than the 50Mbit I had on the other side of it, so I'm using an Apple Airport Express with stock firmware until I can get OpenWRT setup on a Netgear WNDR3700.
And I thought I was way behind the times when i was still running the WRT54GS. So I guess my question is, is anyone still running that ancient hardware for their main connection?
No, I was just trying to put myself in the head of the wack-a-doodles who think that FB & Google are out to get them in particular, rather than to just make billions of $$$s.
It's a public key. It does nothing to prove ownership. I could easily download any public key from a keyserver and add it to my account.
Can I have your private key?
(Pretty sure you meant 'public key' there.)
What if they show you your public key, but they show others their public key they created to proxy for you, And suggest they mail you at the @facebook.com email address they rolled out years ago?
Yeah, they'd get caught in a heartbeat, and it'd never work in practice, but for the paranoid it might be a worry...
Not to mention that the software that the company I work for is writing (NFV stuff) will put networking professionals out of jobs before too long...
Well, I think of "drone" and UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U... ] ) as synonymous, and at least Wikipedia there says there are two classes of UAV, autonomous and remotely piloted.
So, I guess it's a question of definitions...
What about an autonomous drone which is just flying to certain GPS coordinates and then detonating? Or even just using inertial guidance and image processing?
