This is the kind of stuff that belongs on tmz. The saddest part (other than it making it to /.) is that a bunch of other renowned journalists praised the original article about trump's hairpiece.

"drawing praise from staffers at the Times, the Wall Street Journal, and The Atlantic; and at least three winners of the Pulitzer Prize."

Ugh.

I'm pretty sure the most prominent contemporary proponents are the Wachowski borthers... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Comparing a commodity market to a small grass fed beef farm's outdated website. Wheat and potatoes. Hahahaha

Thanks for the laughs.

Actually no. Your stats are bullshit. This is what commodities traders pay for beef stock

The price of beef has tripled in the last 10 years. Better yet, just go to the grocery store and look at the prices. You can't find tri tip for less than $4.99 lb anymore. It was regularly $2.99 lb a couple years ago (which is supported in the link I provided).

Parent is absolutely correct. The official indices that gauge inflation keep changing what they count, resulting in bad statistics like the ones you linked. There is a big economic problem in this country and it is actively being swept under the rug.

Last time I checked,, lossless 4K streaming with a modern codec (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC) requires ~720 Mbps of throughput. So yeah.. you aren't gonna see much real 4k streaming for a long time. In my experience, pretty much all the "1080p" or "hd" streams (youtube, netflix, prime, etc) and cable/satellite video services use compression that hurts PQ and are comparable to sub-720p lossless quality (otherwise they'd be sucking up ~12 Mbps of throughput). Put on a dark movie and watch for the macro blocking, it's definitely there and it definitely looks like shit.

Thanks to marketing types, the words "4k" and "1080p" don't actually mean anything when it comes to picture quality anymore. You have to say "lossless" first, and then watch all the non-engineers roll their eyes and act like you are being a pedantic asshole.

It wasn't over the data cap thing (a host of other issues with their service and billing), but it was a nice coincidence. Also coincidentally, Time Warner Cable is bumping their top tier internet package from 50mbps to 300mbps in our neighborhood this month for the same price (which is cheaper than Uverse's top tier 60mbps service).

There was a typo in the original post, the word "detect" was missing. It's been fixed since.

All I'm saying is that there are new features in win10 vs win7 (other than the privacy concerns) and I like some of them. Dunno what that has to do with a weird fetish analogy about making people watch you take a dump. If you are that worried about your activity being tracked, don't use windows.

Don't knock it before you get used to it. Obivously there is the privacy intrusion etc, and I resisted for a while but now prefer windows 10 over windows 7. Probably my favorite upgrade is the way it handles remote desktop sessions (I do a lot of them for work), especially the window auto-scaling feature.

Or you could wage war in the Middle East for less than three months. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Like Stuxnet, any attack that the government launches has the potential to affect computers that are not owned by ISIS terrorists (or in Stuxnet's case, Iranian centrifuges).

The more success that Cyber Command has, the more comfortable they will be with with launching cyber bombs. At some point there will be significant collateral damage.

It's a Ruby library to help you run regression testing... Big deal. Not /. worthy thats for sure.

Those basic functionalities could be created in any language/tool in a short period of time by any decent automation engineer.

Seeing as how most drone radio frequency communication operate at 2.4 or 5.8 Ghz, the FCC would likely have a problem with allowing the jamming capabilities.

I no longer consider things like my name, address, social security number, ip address, bank acct number, etc to be "my data." The only things I still consider to be mine are my pictures, films, and music which I back to to external USB drives that I store in a fireproof safe. I leave the bulk of the security of my personal information up to my providers and try to use hard to crack passwords. If there is a leak (I'm sure there will be, if not already) and it affects my livelyhood, I will hold the company that compromised my data responsible. I don't believe that I have any assets that could be attacked that aren't covered by FDIC or identity theft protection, and none (other than title for my house/cars and my 401k/IRA) are worth more than what I can get back in small claims court, so I just don't worry about it.
