I don't quite see how the radio would have had any effect on this incident.

The only thing I can think of is potentially getting a crisis negotiator on the ground to attempt to talk down the man in the cockpit. I guess thats something.

I do not care what people look like or even how they act, I do care about being forced to inhale disgusting and cancerous smoke in enclosed spaces because of their habit. I see no reason why we should accommodate that as a society.

No we are talking about binary.

It would be nice if they were forced to unlock your bootloader on request too. I would love to install Cyanogen mod on my Verizon Galaxy S4 but it is impossible to do so as the bootloader is completely locked down with no recourse.

When we talk about whether something is real or a forgery, I don't think we really care what it is composed of, we care about its provenance. The composition is really just a shortcut often used to help us identify obviously fake provenance; if something is not composed of the same stuff as the real thing, well then we can disqualify it from being real. I don't think anyone should suppose that identical composition is sufficient to guarantee real provenance though.

For perfect forgery detection, I think you need a complete and unimpeachable record of where each bill has been at each moment of its existence. The current physical properties of the item are just not enough. Obviously that is infeasible, though I guess crypto-currencies basically do that.

Baseballs are heavily regulated in game due to the long legacy of doctoring the ball to achieve otherwise impossible movement on pitched balls. Each ball in play goes through the home plate umpire before making it to the pitcher/catcher.

Of course in baseball you'll still occasionally see the pitcher with a hidden "foreign substance" used to doctor the ball once they get ahold of it. Back 20ish years ago it was not too rare for a pitcher to be discovered with a nail file or scratching the ball on their belt buckle. Generally this is seen as "part of the game", and well, there are admitted spitballers/nail-filers in the hall of fame and nobody really cares. Nowadays, if a pitcher gets caught with a "foreign substance" (usually pine tar), they are usually suspended for a few games, the media goes into a frenzy, and retired baseball players say they all did it too.

There are actually many apps that allow you to play local content now. It was pretty bad for a while before they released the SDK though.

The two I use are Videostream for Google Chrome, and BubbleUPnP for Android.

Will we finally get gapless playback in the Chromecast's native music player? I've tried to use my Chromecast for music, but the gaps between tracks are just complete deal breakers for many albums. I had just assumed audio was not a priority for google.

Most people I've seen question the North Korea angle absolutely acknowledge that they have the capability to do things like this. They usually argue that this does not fit the style and MO of a state sponsored attack, that The Interview was never mentioned by the hackers until after the media starting running with the story, and that there simply isn't enough public evidence to justifiably attribute it yet, among other things.

Plenty of media organizations have owned and continue to own sports teams.

In fact Disney simultaneously owned both ESPN and the Anaheim Angels for a number of years before selling the team.

I understand the need for something like this. The right to delete all Google+, Facebook, and ad tracker network stored data etc. seems reasonable. The right to limit search engine discoverability of 3rd party published information seems to be a step too far. I'm not sure where you draw the line, but there does seem to at least be a line somewhere in there.

Not sure why Bram doesn't believe that removing support for obsolete OSes such as MS-DOS, Amiga, and BeOs helps with Neovim's goal of simplifying the codebase and maintenance. Are there even any actual users of these systems that are disappointed that they won't be able to use neovim? If they're satisfied on those OSes surely they'd be satisfied with legacy vim.

Its HTML5 DRM built into Chrome. Its actually worked for ~a month in Chrome for Linux if you just spoofed the user-agent string to Windows, absurdly. The only thing really prompting this announcement is that Netflix is no longer blocking Linux user-agents.

It only works in Chrome at the moment, as Firefox does not support the required DRM.

I know that the web cams on new Macbook Pros do not work on linux, and there has been little to no progress on making them work.
