That includes windows, your data may be on your PC in a foreign (i.e. non American) country but Microsoft still has access to it so, it appears, be legally forced to hand it over.
So nothing new there then
It is feared any extra import charges on electronics coming into the US from China will be passed on to customers
Well doh! No shit Sherlock
Of course the end consumer pays for the tariffs, wonder if the EU will figure that out before the Donald?
Is the right answer, if Fitbit had spent time and effort developing that further in sensible (I.e. not flashy) ways things might have looked very different today.
Anyone know what’s going on over there at MSE?
Seems to be some sort of problem with passwords needing resetting in the last couple of weeks, and of course the reset page is insecure and sends in plain text.

Is it a cockup or have they ‘lost’ some data perhaps?
.....except that, according to the article, the guy wasn’t doing anything illegal, the car however started a manoeuvre then changed ‘its’ mind. In reality it’s almost certainly a bit 6 and 2 threes.
But it is better ............
........for google
Ooh difficult decision, do I upvote you for getting rid of them or downvote you for installing them in the first place?
Edit, downvote it is
It has to be Turkey, there must be Yorkshire puddings and there must be Brussel sprouts.
Oh and pigs in blankets, made with proper bacon and sausages mind, non of that supermarket watery crap.
If it doesn’t have them it’s just soft southern crap.
It’s a bit cold here in the northern hemisphere on earth at the moment, I wonder what the weather is like on whatever planet the people who come up with these ‘great’ ideas live on?
But it’s Merkins, gotta have someone to sue.
...........and that Darwin stuff is ‘just a theory’
I’m not a fanboi, my £150 moto phone stands testament to that, but I would like to ask the naysayers on here......
‘When was the last time someone got rich betting against Apple?’
‘Those 'Christians' who say the earth is only 6000 years old are misinterpreting the bible‘
Interesting, I always thought it was because they were as thick as pigshit
‘Autonomous vehicles hold great promise in saving lives, expanding mobility and reducing congestion’
Well they ‘might’ save lives but the rest is just hogwash.
Oh that's easy, you find it really difficult to hold a referendum.
Have you tried 'deep search'?

Bloody hell, they do have a point.
If i lived there I would be looking at it as an accident waiting to happen, and I wouldn't be waiting too long either.
The interesting thing is that to make money out of very poor people you have to enable them to make money.
Of course if it's your competitor trying to do it then, fuck 'em the poor can wait.
You need the mastermind app on the echo, although a smart or feature phone is also needed
Since operating systems aren’t an end in themselves, but merely a means to an end, a means of running something that alleviates your grunt work (like dBase or Lotus 1-2-3 at the time), the advantages of OS/2 were pretty elusive.
Think someone needs to mention that to Microsoft
It's in the USA so more likely didn't know how to spell it.
Unfortunately the only way to disable the promo blaster is as follows:
Trust me there are other ways.......
Spending $350 on a doorbell has demonstrated your a sucker, all they are doing is having another dip in the suckers pockets, pretty standard practice really.
No point in looking for suckers unless your going to milk 'em dry.
Yes but, without DRM would people pay the inflated prices the media industry charge?
Exactly, think of all the poor media execs etc that would suffer.
I've said it before (and now I'm going to say it again)
If any business relies on paying people less than minimum wage then it's a crap business
Bloody kids, think they know/invent everything.
Back when I were a youth the approved method of fixing vertical hold problems on a TV was to give the blooming thing a thump on the side.
It was an excellent feature on the windows phone however, how much of that was because it was on a phone? Quite a lot I suspect.
When will Microsoft realise that people use different tools for different jobs?
For most users a phone is for keeping in touch with people a PC is for work.
If your single and/or home alone or have your own office then talking to a bot to get info might make sense.
For the rest of the world what bloody use are they?
but there's nothing to stoo a travel agent, say, accepting payments for thousands.
.........except it's never going to bloody well happen with my phone
Anyone care to guess how long it will be before an 'update' (shouldn't that be 'downdate'?) reinstalls the nagware albeit in a slightly different form?
I'm going with before the end of the month
How many of us, when visiting someone whose place has some of these buttons, could resist pressing one, or more, of them a few times?
I would like to think I could but unfortunately suspect the truth may be different.
AhHa! I've spotted the problem, it's clearly the wrong sort of turnip.
Of course the seats had bags and coats on them, how else were Corbyn and his team going to find somewhere to sit when they had finished filming?
Actually no, it's based on the assumption that the exchange rate will continue to fall steadily for the next two years, wish I had that crystal ball.
If your business, any business, relies on people earning less than minimum wage then it's a pretty crap business,
just saying
......and how do you feel about the vapour given off from coffee, or tea, or food, or in other people's exhaled air?
Perhaps we should ban everything that may emit vapour and make everyone live outside and stay more than 2 metres apart, just to be safe.
As the old saying goes
'It doesn't matter who you vote for, the government still gets in'
Or something like that
What's wrong with using a shotgun, especially as most airports already have a bloke driving around with one in his truck
I think it's a day when they eat http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1751649/yorkshire-parkin
......although, typically they are spelling parkin wrong
and let deceleration take over.
Well yes but unfortunately the 'deceleration' would only take effect when it made planetfall and then may be a tad too abrupt.
Well at least we now know where Trump gets his hair from.

Virtually everything you need to harden a network to the point of complete invulnerability is available free of charge
