If they connect anything that lives inside your network, at any time, or that even has a VPN connection your internal networks at any time, you have a security problem.
If they can physically do that, then you have a problem. I hear even Windows comes with IPSEC, maybe you could do something about that.
Note that you would not be able to charge the tablet at the same time.
Sure you can, just use an OTG Y-Cable.
Anyone else *kinda* sick of hearing about drones? And 3d printing... Don't get me wrong. It's cool stuff, but we've kinda beaten it to death at this point.
Hmmm... *skims summary* I know, let's talk systemd!
I'm gonna insert my reply to an earlier comment of yours here to save me time and space, and because it's a good preface to my reply to this comment anyway:
in other words, they are taxed on the stuff they should be taxed on,
No, these dodges should not exist.
and they are smart enough to not pay taxes they dont have to
Yes, you have this part right.
And now, my reply to this comment:
and if you burden corporations with higher taxes, the consumer pays more as the costs are passed down to the consumer
in the end, the people pay the taxes one way or another
No, you have this badly wrong. If you make corporations pay their taxes, then the costs are passed down to the consumers of their products. But if you don't, then the costs are passed down to every citizen.
I think you have to give a lot of the credit credit to high-quality software.
I think you have to give basically all of the credit to the people who do the interfaces. That's the only place where Apple ever seems to have a clear advantage, the very early G5 era aside.
For those old enough to remember them, changing a BIOS required an EPROM burner and UV eraser. Changing CMOS settings required setting the write protect jumper.
Well, I had an IBM PC-1, and yes and no respectively.
Clearing CMOS settings is still done with a jumper. I do wish that all flash BIOS devices had a write protect jumper, though, and it would cost little to add them.
You are *so* cool! I bet you have a neckbeard too!
I sure do, but any time I go visit a new contract or even just go on vacation, I shave it. It's not an attachment or an affectation, I just don't measure my value by the cleanliness of my neck. It's not my fault I was born hairier than the average bear.
But hey, thanks for recognizing how great I am. I could use the publicity.
Why is Comcast cast as the villan?
Typecasting. They play the villain role so frequently, it's impossible to see them any other way.
The emblems would be sooooo small because there are so many you wouldn't be able to read them
Only the top ten or so even get space.
Here's another way to handle it. Whenever they appear on television, block out x% of their face and words based on their campaign contributions. Whoever gets least comes through at 100%, whoever gets most is just a wall of ads, and everyone else falls somewhere in-between
And not seeing the obvious. This is a move to close down the 2nd hand market.
No, no it isn't. Just having non-transferable activation codes was that. This is a stupid and ham-handed attempt both to fight actual crimes and to dissuade people from seeking bargains.
It is so obvious, a 5 year old could get it.
Next time, consult a five year old.
You buy a license to use a game. They revoke the license, which is their right, but by doing so, you are no longer bound by the license terms either, which includes the payment you made.
Well, no. The license is something you enter into after you make the payment, hence the assertion that shrinkwrap licenses should not have any weight: you're not getting anything for them, you already got it. This online activation bullshit is a way around that: You're getting online activation.
Ubisoft aren't as dumb as you think. They know that when they ban these keys most of the people who bought them will blame the vendor for selling them a dodgy copy.
I'm not sure they will do that. I think the majority of the gaming press will flame them for doing this (and rightly so, you don't punish people who are trying to be your customers, even if they are seeking bargains) and I think the majority of customers will feel however they are told to feel. And I think most of the rest of them will be pissed off because they won't have been able to play the game they paid for.
There's often legitimate discounts on games, so there's no valid reason to penalize customers for seeking discount prices. Likely some of those users made their purchases in ill faith, but I'd bet they were in the minority.
Jesus fuck. So I can't buy games while on holiday in another country? A big FUCK YOU goes to ubisoft.
First World Problem.
There's nothing more ironic than someone who has the luxury of having time to complain about someone complaining spending that time complaining about them.
Yes, I realize what this post entails. But I was just sitting here and noticed that instead of curing cancer or solving world hunger, you chose to spend your time trying to make someone feel bad about complaining by complaining about them, and thought maybe you could use a bit o' perspective.
This just goes to show how pathetic a lot of leftists are. But but Cuba has some great, free healthcare. Yeah? Cuba's also politically and economically FUBAR to the nth degree
Leftists including myself bring up Cuba's health care system to show that even a country which is totally busted politically and economically can manage a national health care system which provides outcomes as good as what we have now (which ain't that great, but bear with this argument) for pennies on the dollar. It's not that we should go commie, it's that even the commies can manage health care. Here in the allegedly greatest nation in the world, the only magnificent part of our health care system is the size of the bill.
Although the moon is smaller than the earth, it is farther away.
