For all the exaggerated scary words used like "one of the largest", "more than 60 campaigns" etc, there was not a single solid data point about the actual devices infected. Not even a ball park number - like whether it is tens, thousands or millions of devices.
Makes me suspect the claims.
+1!
You've characterized the slashdot reader very well. They are libertarian as long as their jobs are safe and their lifestyle is not threatened. They want no government interference whether it's job market or drug ban. But put THEM in a market, start evaluating options for replacing them, they become protectionist!
Sure, as soon as you accept any product imported from US will have an automatic 20% extra "US tax" in other countries. You want to sell your products in other countries, but you want to outlaw other countries selling their products or services! That is not hypocritical, at all!
Is it 10-days? I thought it's immediate.
Also, they say it's rented on market prices and is open to outsiders, so the "24-hours to vacate" may not be reality.
Hey don't diss Yahoo! mail. That's what I use to signup to various websites so my regular email is not spammed by websites that I used only once in my life.
I'ven't followed it, but if what you said is right, then the biggest culprit here is the federal court.
Thanks. I feel so stupid for not checking!
Wish I had mod points! This app seems really useful! Installed it, and kicked Facebook off my phone.
On my laptops, I do the same - run FB in either a different browser altogether, or a different Firefox user profile. I wish Firefox supported multiple processes simultaneously with each one under a different profile.
But I have succumbed and installed it on my phone, but the new permissions are making me think. I have not updated my FB yet, but will probably delete it and check it through browser if I ever need to.
I heard Japan does honor and respect age, but it is not true in India. Definitely not in the IT industry (when I say IT, I include software development as well). Every product company publicly talks about how they want more "senior people" in technical ladder, but in reality, very few believe or support much. Managers will always be nudging you to gain more "visibility" and show more contribution. Even if you do the work of 5 people at your work, it will not count. Instead if you just don't fuckup the regular job, but talk bs or write a white paper (that nobody reads), you will be considered a super star. Because you know the managers want "well rounded" people at senior positions.
I have one issue with this argument. Replication - a mechanic or a doctor can keep repeating their act all their lives (on different people/machines) and get paid every time. And each act of theirs takes a few hours, or a few days at most. A programmer, an author, a research scientist have to do something new every time to get paid and each act of theirs takes weeks, months or in some cases years, to complete. And paying once irrespective how useful it is and how many people use it seems illogical.
you need to get your sarcasm detector checked.
This improves the standby and talk time, and may be network power consumption. Most of the other stuff the apps use - like CPU, GPU, sensors will not be any different because of this. So to claim double of battery life is exaggeration. It may double the standby time and probably improve the talk time by a considerable percentage.
Seriously, we need +1 Sarcastic! Otherwise, some moron mods may downmod some very insightful comments because they don't get the sarcasm.
