Fortunately, in the EU it's been slapped down hard. If you want to have a rental license, it means recurring payments and the right to cancel the license (why do you think Microsoft is focusing so hard on Office365 with its monthly payments?). If it's a sale, you get one payment but afterwards First Sale doctrine applies and the rights of the original seller are exhausted.
Sanest decision in years, IMO.
"go read a wiki page."
A relevant example of which would be...?
* Which would be amusing given the penchant for the right to be mostly white, convervative males, in the US and Europe. Boy does this joke suck or what.
No problem. I'm sure someone will retaliate by turning everyone into self-reproducing black females. Hilarity ensues.
Lol. Good one
Mine is showing 25GB and I still have 5GB left. I guess being an early adopter has its advantages
I use it as a free backup for the family photos. Otherwise it'd be dropboxed or crashplanned.
The maker of Flappy Bird would like to disagree. So would Vlambeer Studio. And a whole host of small indy gamestudios.
Surprisingly enough, there is. A lot of game developers use GameMaker to prototype games. But some of them are good enough to be published on Steam straight out of Gamemaker. And it's simple enough that my 11-yr old has been using it for his own game.
Disclaimer: my former prof built it.
There's also Unity3D.
These tools take away a lot of details that used to be 80% of the work, and leave you to work on the *game*, as opposed to rendering the screen without tearing or trying to get the audiobuffer to play without clipping, or... etc.
The sophisticated piece of malware - called "Googl app stoy" - was discovered in the official Google Play store by security company FireEye who then worked with Google to remove the app.
RTFA.
Or they blame the victim because the victim made some seriously stupid decisions. Such as in this case.
They were a business taking other people's data, and those people entrusted them with its safekeeping.
If my bank accepts my valuables and stores them, they're legally and morally responsible for taking reasonable precautions. Piranha moats are probably out, but vaults with timed locks are not. If the bank doesn't put locks on the doors and leaves the vault open then yes the thief is responsible for the theft, but the bank is responsible for the theft *succeeding*.
Same here. While the attackers is as asshole and responsible for extortion and destruction of property, it's the companies unsafe practices that allowed this to succeed and be more than a minor disruption of service. And having full control over *all* data AND their backups from one single, internet-accessible control panel is not just unsafe, but idiotic. It sounds like this company was started by some kids that liked to "play business" or a bunch of finance managers with a nephew that "did something with computers". But not by serious sysadmins.
Amen to that. There's a reason they give you 8 years of factory warranty - they can afford it. A few other car makers can't because the repairs under warranty would bankrupt them.
I bought a second hand Prius, 5yr old, last year. Runs like new. The electronics and the drive are incredibly reliable. The start battery however, is not so great. But apart from that, it's a much better car than the other hybrids I tried. The Mercedes I drove before that one was a better car, but unreliable and with less fuel economy (diesel) and more tax.
"Under U.S. federal law, murder is the unlawful killing of a human being with malice aforethought. Malice can be expressed (intent to kill) or implied. Implied malice is proven by acts that involve reckless indifference to human life or in a death that occurs during the commission of certain felonies (the felony murder rule)."
(Wikipedia).
That's different from what you wrote. If I hit someone in the face and he dies, it's not reckless indifference to human life but I did intent to harm him. Therefore, not murder but possibly manslaughter.
But since files were lost and emails too, it's highly likely to be Exchange. It's a freakin' nightmare.
If you want robust, reliable, fully encrypted from the ground up and difficult to hack software, get Lotus Domino. If you don't need any of those features but a nice GUI is your first priority, install Exchange. It's a fulltime job security guarantee for mail admins and you regularly get to look like a hero. And sometimes like an idiot.
The closing comment was that, since the supposed origin would be frozen solid at the time the disease was supposed to originate there, the real origin of the disease is still as unknown as always. But they're now looking at bacterial toxin as the main culprit. Nice...
I bet you could make a nice disastermovie about this, where it turns out that the GMO crops in India are the real culprits. Then, when they are sprayed with new insecticide, they combine with a new bacterium that integrates the GMO resistance genes, and spread a superplague that turns everyone into a Triffid.
Weehee, I'm calling my agent
