"In those instances, Uber would lock down the office and immediately cut all connectivity so that law enforcement could not access Uber's information. I would then be tasked with purchasing all new equipment for the office within the day."
Purchase it in the morning and get it working by the evening???
Before the raid? (And who tips off about THAT?)
Whenever the coppers come there is totally nw, unconnected equipment and large boxes everyhwere and people are in the kitchen browsing Facebook and eating donuts?
What??
Yeah. It IS puerile crap.
Basically a coming-of-age adventure story from Japan with space fantasy elements.
But so what?
Go back to Wittgenstein then or check out Mr Plinkett here and even more here
Unfortunately the hijab factory workers turn out to be Zensunni, declare Jihad, upon which Fremen emerge from the galactic badlands and wreck the Empire's shit fiercely.
In the end, the Emperor is declared unfit for duty by the fanatics and replaced by a wiry juvenile badass. Then The Force is declared haram.
THE MERGED-UNIVERSE END!
But you cannot just walk into the Jewish religion. This ain't Islam (which was cunningly engineered for maximum propagation).
(Ok, you can, but "I elect to become one of the Chosen People according to Book #1" just doesn't sound right, eh? Better have the correct DNA for better soul security, too)

Linux Kernel Version Numbering (1)
and
Linux Kernel Version Numbering (2)
The initial Linux kernels had a very simple numbering system. The first, which was released by Torvalds in September 1991, was designated 0.01. This was followed the next month by the 0.02 kernel. The current version numbering system began with the kernel 1.0, which was released in March 1994.
Linux kernels are now identified by a set of four numbers, sometimes supplemented by several additional characters. The first number denotes the kernel version. It is changed least frequently, and only when truly major changes in the concept and the code of the kernel occur. In fact, it has been changed only twice in the history of the kernel: in 1994 with version 1.0 and in 1996 with version 2.0.
The second number denotes the major revision of the kernel version. It was formerly the case that even numbers indicated a stable release, that is, one that was deemed fit for production use (i.e., use in a non-experimental environment), such as 1.2, 2.4 or 2.6. Likewise, odd numbers, such as 1.1 or 2.5, have historically represented development releases. They were for testing new features and device drivers until they became sufficiently stable to be included in a stable release. However, this has changed starting with the Linux 2.6.x series, and new feature development now takes place in the same revision number.
The third number indicates the minor revision of the kernel. It is only changed when new features or new drivers are added. The fourth number represents corrections, such as security patches and bug (i.e., error) fixes.
Sometimes the four numbers will be followed by several letters, such as rc1, ac, ck and mm. The letters rc (followed by a number) refer to a release candidate and thus indicate a non-official release. Other letters usually indicate the person responsible for that release, such as Alan Cox, Con Kolivas and Andrew Morton.
Why are terminal consoles still used?
It's all about getting actual work done on a technical device by professionals.
Let's say 100 million?
At projected 62.6 billion USD of Colorado State expenditures for 2017, this means you could run the Colorado State for a WHOLE 12 HOURS!
Whoppee-ka-yee!
“We have an obligation to our customers ... to defend our intellectual property when we believe it has been infringed"
No you do not.
You have the obligation to not provide shit and uphold the sales contract.
The rest is your problem.
Today’s action is a necessary step to defend our valuable ideas and assets that Symantec customers rely on for industry-leading cyber defense.
Is this the spokesperson of Dick Cheney?
How is the thing with dodgy "testing" root certificates and unpacking malware in the kernel coming??
I think the US is the last regime on Earth to do the sanctions thing as these were officially lifted back in January?
It's all about regime change in Syria on behalf of our two pals. You know the two. Both are big in iinfluence among "elected" representatives.
Iran gives Syria support against ISIS and CIA-funded riffraff and that's a no-no. (and to all evidence performs Wehrmacht-style "cleaner" operations via militias, somewhat of a problem).
The neocons & friends freakshow is out in force trying to influence decisions early: Neocons trying to sneak into Trump administration, US Hawks Lay Out Plan for Getting Into a War With Iran However, what the actual policy Mister T. will eventually choose, if any, is anyone's guess.
"One of the key priorities of law enforcement should be to engage with these young people to prevent them from pursuing a criminal path, helping them understand how they can use their skills for a more constructive purpose.“
But they don't have any....
The once-shining US star was last seen just before the Nixon administration, dude! Or maybe even earlier.
The Deep State sure is out to make this election a post-electoral win for The Only Acceptable Candidate. I wouldn't rule out a "security incident" by some concerned, progressive but slightly aspie citizen armed with a Dragunova sourced directly (according to what the WaPo would print) from the USSRRussia. Who then gets a heart attack when apprehended. Madame Clinton president? It's more likely than you think.
You know that's how it works.
It is likely that there is no volume of space inside an event horizon in same way as there is no volume of wood in a woodworm-hole.
> the average density of a black hole with a volume of the known universe, would roughly be the average density of the known universe
Yes. This is because the event horizon increase linearly with mass as opposed to with 1/r³ (something to do with the holographic database that defines the universe, but no-one has an idea what). Inside would look God knows how though, if at all.
I have lost count at how many problems Microsoft's new-found love for 'agile' has spawned.
I don't see where agile comes in all of a sudden.
It's a standard Microsoft update.
Only now it comes without docummentation in the middle of the night and borks you off the Internet so as the plan was to make you dependable on an Internet connection, there is some sort of weird reality collision (MEGASHRUG) and as a civilian you are a bit screwed, right.
Anyway it was probably Putin all along, out to undermine democracy. You know it's true!
The establishment is really unhappy about the possibility of getting it up the arse via protest votes, aren't they? CIA is just now trying to rumorize the US presidential election. Didn't obtain the right candidate, apparently. Imagine that, people should have voted for the standard corruptoblishment lift lady, goddammit. Not that there are much signs that Mister T will be enormously better.
Economic Refugees, War Refugess, all sleeping on your front porch, the Turkey clusterfuck, Lybia, the Ukraine scam, the Syria debacle, the Brexit two-finger salute, "Russia is coming! Russia is coming!!!" every single fuckling day, a danger of getting NATO defunded a bit, the EURO bubble about the burst like a pus monster, the economy still in the dumps in spite of Keynesianism, OH MY!
Populist parties against the clowns in charge making headway, OH WHY!
"Fake News" my arse. The MSM are good in that!!
This sounds like a story from one of those anime "I will not publish these compromising photos of you with kitchen implements if you deliver your two school friends to my rape cellar"
How I know that?
Err... research. Yeah, research.
> Ransomware authors claim the ransom will be used to pay for food and shelter in Syria.
Hopefully the Russkies clean up, because the France/UK leadership (more like Frankenship, amirite) - which is basically the root cause of this mess together with the Saudi pals - is currently doubling down on the "regime change before ISIS" fantasy.
And it helps to have to start from scratch. No aging infrastructure to deal with. The same thing happened in much of Europe after the war: a lot of opportunities to start fresh meant it was easier to modernize.
Isn't that the broken window fallacy right there
One would think the only way blocking rebuilding would be unions, property lawyers, NIMBYs and crazy legislation. Bombing the factory and killing the employees to break the logjam? Well, why the hell not!!
> Trump is a much worse person than Hilary,
This seems to be a thinkfluencer consensus based on not much more than MSM nastiness later retconned to "fairness". It still needs to be seen that this is so. Trump hasn't yet blown up a whole country and furnished weapons to Al Nusra for no other reasons than to give a blowjob to our two friends in the Middle East and show Putin (officially know as "the new Hitler") who's boss. Electing Hillary, you would have p(WWII) to "destroy evil" hovering at around 99%+.
I would never have thought that I would prefer Bismarck-style ultranasty "Realpolitik" to liberventionist world-saving retardation, but here we are.
"tax juggling" is, however, above-board, constructed outrage to be consumed by the tax-victimized hoi polloi notwithstanding (one wonders whether they have been promised additional free money by their electioneering representatives? nah, can't be)
Yeah BBC. "PwC promoted tax avoidance 'on industrial scale', say MPs" Shock horror, you don't say. Is that more or less bad than being Ghaddafi? Well, that's what PwC is getting paid for, innit.
And with the usual truthiness of the BBC: " tax havens like Luxembourg". Yeah, no. It's a tax hell like every eurosocialist state.
You may not like it but some people have the means to avoid the state's money grab (while you get saddled with high VAT, LOL!)
