It rise privacy concern for me.

If real name and email validation is mandatory, I will wonder what Google will use that data for. Is that some kind of monitor tool which want to know REAL NAME, EMAIL ADDR whenever you want to use a website?

Don't forget Google always beg for your telephone number for "security reasons", Google+ wants your real name for "Policy reason", I upgraded one of my Nexus to Android L, and everything I do has to sign in: some game(Botanicula for instant) work fine without internet in Android 4.4.4 but requires internet signin in Android L.

Yes I made a mistake, however this is just a word game from Apple overall.

Finally those numbers of iPhone activation and mac sold are useful.

#1 Mac unit sales

I only take the number from 2013 & 2014 because Apple trend to upgrade fast.

Now, quote from "Government Information Requests"

"less than 0.00385% of customers had data disclosed due to government information requests."

Only 699529.6 round to 699529 customers had data disclosed.

I don't usually click EXE,

But when I do,

I do it on my production computer with 200 VM running.

and none of my firewalls pop a warning.

Why SHA-2 instead of RSA 4096 or SHA-256? Even the RSA is compromised but 4096-bit will take a lot more(maybe few more hours) resources to decrypt.

Thank you for the reply.

Https is to prevent wiretapping and man-in-the-middle attacks.

The problem now is even you established HTTPS connection, the weak SHA-1 encryption will not protect you.

I use compressed air to clean the fans every 6 months, also applied new Arctic Silver 5 cpu paste.

I have fans controlled not to run unless CPU or GPU over 52C.

Looking for a replacement like Thinkpad is extreme hard.

I have t42p, t43p, t60 and t61 running CentOS and Ubuntu.

#All of them has up time for more than 500 days. #T42p been on since 2007. #I am missing old IBM laptop, almost everything are serviceable.

I believe in "user-serviceable" of anything, Cars, Washing Machines and old IBM/Lenovo laptops.

"most users don't care about the type of login"

Majority of the population get paid, minority of the population go pay.

Same theory works here.

I am implementing imperial system on our currency.

12 cents = a dime. 12 dimes = a dollar, 12 dollars = a thousand dollar. 12 thousand dollars = a million dollar. 12 million dollars = a billion dollar.

can you tell me how much is a billion dollar in a dollar unit now?

One thing I want to point out immediately when I saw this post: Chrome makes virus-like auto-update, It just freak me out. Google keeps their product auto-update and gave a reason: better services, but ALL I CAN FEEL is FINFISHER is coming closer and closer.

Second, Firefox give me more freedom so far. I can install whatever plugin I want, regardless whether violate Google's terms of service. Instant example, you can't download a Youtube video with chrome store app.

Right way. Driving on the right makes so much more sense than driving on the left.

If you're driving a manual transmission car on the right side of the road, you'd steer with your left hand and change gears with your right. This works out nicely for right-handed people, i.e. 90% of the population.

What was the news again?

thank you for the reply, this is very interest to know.

#1 Almost all games are created by PC, and port to console, not the other way around.

#2 Almost all games can play on PC, maybe just with lower setting.

#3 PC games are for people who like to discover => example how someone found out how to enable watch dog's E3 graph setting. But you have no control over console.

#4 Almost all console games are created by Pc, oh wait.

I wish there are more pictures like these available on internet. Anyone know where to look for?

As a founder in tech field, I use a few steps to detect feminism,

1. If they have equal opportunities/equipments?

2. If the statements are bias based on other people instead of looking problem within themselves first.

3. Do they have the right/enough knowledge in the field.

In my experiences, Number 3 is very important. I never meet anyone with enough practice & knowledge about programming complains about gender problem. Stories I read is about people cannot write a single line of code but wants to be the executive/Project Manger.

Another hard example: A start up wants the cutting edge tech so they use hphp. The company ran out of money before it finish complied.

lock->power connect->start.

Hacking Unite nation. Media: China was doing that, too.

Hacking Encrypt Fax, Media: Quiet

we developed drone, attacks in pakistan. Media: Quiet

China developed drone, doing nothing, yet. Media: Hacking U.S. Secrets, China Pushes for Drones

Enforce human rights to third world countries. U.S.: -airline reservations are used to target illegal searches. -cellphone tracking by tower -20 miles interior check points, -100-miles Border Zone as "Consitution-free". As a result, San Francisco, Los Angles, Seattle, Chicago, New York, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Miami, Houston are Consitution-free.

Now what was the news again?

that's not my point. I hope people really have a deep through before they do anything.

But, I have more interesting to troll and patent trolls. Both are fun and worth doing.

I immediately come up with an idea to patent stupidity, so no one is allowed to be stupid or they have to pay a fee.

Kickstarter is so restrictive is because they wanted to maximized profit & also result of their taste. Put restriction on hackers who really innovate and create real products? well good luck with that, I am with freedom.

Can you PM me what brand it is?

In the middle of reading this, I saw a 2TB SSD Advertisement then realized SSD just consumable product, it is just like tires which just change it every 2-3 years, for safety concern.

Be agile, I thank myself for being that way;

Join a Startup if you cannot create one.

Ruby on Rails, Java, ?=> Twitter.

Amazing that how every essay PG written can shows you the ideas.

-You have to be a founder to found, who you are defines what you can do.

-just another founder at work
