Re: "This code has been deleted by a exploiter"
Reads more like it's a common error, to me. It's basically saying that they're traveling the same route too often and so someone put a bomb where they're going to pass.

They need to be sued, possibly prosecuted as accessories to violations of the Computer Misuse Act. They are profiting from the committing of a crime or three after all. Or would this be more "passing off", like trying to present poor/harmful goods as safe?
Not a lawyer, but nothing focuses the mind like fines and jail time.
Upvote for remembering that. Also, just checked the Wiki page for it, tickled to find that some of the engineers that worked Clipper are on with Blue Origin now.
Bezos and Musk weren't first to anything, including the concept of reusability. Wake me when they figure out what it actually costs (inspections, repairs, servicing, paperwork) to convince customers that it's ready to go again.
Seriously? You're refusing OS updates... for your phone. And have done so... hundreds of times? I'm going to presume you're engaging in some serious hyperbole, because that's just absurd. I mean, the voice guidance alone works better than Garmin's entire mapping suite if you ask me. Just... swipe the notification away once and update when you arrive? It's not hard.
As for Windows, I'm not sure what to say. I can understand the positive effects of the updated codebase, and they really have straightened most of their GUI screwups out... But the heavy handed tactics have got to be well on the way to eclipsing all of that. It may be that they've pretty much decided that they're going to have holdouts or losses to other OS no matter what they do (pretty sure there've been a good number on these boards, of course), so they're just going for maximum upgrade numbers any way they can get them.
Seems kind of sensational. From what I understand, the biometric info is digitized, encrypted and stored on the device, maybe a copy sent to the OS masters for cloud storage. Authentication is done on the device and what's shared out is a unique transaction verifier.
So, vendors sucking out your biometric ID? Only if the implementation is utter pants.
Simply put, it completely breaks the FCC's authority and the spectrum management system. Spectrum is licensed for use. Incursions and excursions are monitored for, fines are issued and licenses are revoked based on these things. And now LTE-U wants to go wherever its radio can take it. Wasn't the FCC just talking about locking down routers in case they could go outside their band?
Madness.
Nexus 5X.
2GB RAM is not a major concern, you can get 32GB storage if you pay a little more.
Wireless charging is pretty darn inefficient, not to mention slow. It can still be accomplished via a case with it built in if you really need it (they totally will have them, someone in Korea is updating their design to use the USB-C instead of the micro-USB as we type). And they make the camera flush with the case.
I love how people knock Google's choices on battery and expandable storage then fawn over Apple for the exact same stuff. Not everyone mind, kudos to those that are consistent.
@Chris: To my mind, if you have a seal or line or interface fail on the helium tank and it's outside the LOX tank there's at least the chance the helium will just vent to the interior and then the exterior of the rocket through the pressure equalization vents, and the other tanks will pick up the slack. Yes, if it goes off like a bomb or your valve sticks open and your reg fails you're still pretty well done, but the chance of a failure resulting in LoM seems smaller to me. I'm still weighing chances/results of structural insufficiency for external vs internal, and wondering if bad steel grain is something that can be tested for acoustically.
@Cray: I was wondering if anyone knew how much more capacity it bought them, versus being outside but near the LOX tank. Something to put on the "put them inside" side of my mental scales. Since the helium is needed for pressurizing the RP-1 tank as well, it seems it still needs at least 1 route out of the LOX tank, so I think the "reduction in penetrations" point doesn't seem valid. I'd imagine they make a single penetration of a certain size, weld a single-piece assembly with multiple penetrations in it there, and route reactants and purges and sensors as designed/needed.
No, I do not know, otherwise I wouldn't be asking now would I? It's not really reasonable for me personally to be intimately familiar with the design of every rocket ever built, I've spent my time learning other things. The possible benefits are good to see listed, even if the reference to it being a method used by the Saturn V does put an amusing spin to the boasting that the Falcon is a completely new design for the 21st century, etc.
The idea of putting multiple pressure vessels, any of which contains sufficient volume of gas to burst a larger pressure vessel, into said pressure vessel, just isn't something I'd think worth the payoff. Does anyone happen to know even rough numbers for just what the percentage of benefit is? If it's under a 25% boost it just seems a lot of faffing for minimal gain versus just mounting them in the free structure between tanks.
While the noise cancelling earphones may reduce your perception of sound, they do not actually cancel the sound itself. Or maybe I mean the carrier is still there, even if the modulation isn't. Picture the sound wave on an X-Y graph. You can set all the Y to 0, but you still have motion in X.
All I know is when I put on a set of Bose it gets quiet, but I am very aware of a pressure -inside- my ears when they are donned and active, versus donned and disabled. It's a curious thing, somewhat disconcerting, and has kept me from springing for any pair of them.
Well, the problem here is that in order to properly test for randomness, you need a sufficiently large sample size tested against it, and to understand the conditions under which the randomness is maintained. If you test a hundred numbers that look good, but after a thousand it loops back to the beginning...
Take my vehicle's radio. The MP3 "shuffle" functionality at first blush might seem to work just fine. However, once you've drive it for a year you'll realize that it has a very, very strong tendency to a certain pattern of song numbers, and with one or two variations in places, follows it every single time it decides to reset to the start of the pseudorandom sequence. This is a crap implementation, and I've complained to them that beginning programmers learn how to seed their random number generator better than this, please replace their intern and recompile.
I think that's not bad for not having been released for even a week yet, and the staggered rollout.
Upgraded my just-for-fun desktop, saw no huge problems. About a 2 hour wait while it chewed it all over, the associated bag of hammers for its privacy options, and it didn't figure out I had an Nvidia until the second reboot... Moved the laptop after, same.
Just saying.
Not sure what you're on about, Google has been spanking the satnav general market (with the occasional moan) for years now. They're simply better at delivering the information.
As for your something, I suggest that you take it to a bigger city sometime. When you take an exit, then have to choose between 2 diverging lanes within 200' of that, and then again another 300' on, while moving at a reasonable clip, it's rather helpful to be able to glance at the screen and see you need to go right, stay left, then go right before you have to combine it with keeping other vehicles from initiating mating.
Nothing for the PC? Considering the number of convertible laptops that are starting to make it into the mass market, this looks like such an easy win. Just like those for the iPad, all the stylus needs to do is report pressure over the bluetooth link and Bob's your uncle. Then for $100 or whatever, I can turn my laptop into a graphics tablet.
Anyone want to take my money for such a thing? Anyone? Bueller?
The upper stage tanks tend to have a bladder to help push the reactants to the pipes so the engine can run, they don't like to stay put in the absence of gravity. These bladders are filled with helium as it's neutral and won't freeze. If the helium is supplied at the wrong time and rather excessive pressure though...
Space shuttle and Delta Clipper already did reuse. From what's been studied and said the hard part isn't getting it back, it's making it ready to fly again for notably less than making a new one.
If the tanks rip open after 3 launchers, there might be economic challenges.
@AC: I think you parsed the wrong meaning there. I meant of those who become vegetarians, it seems like more and more are changing to such a diet because they cannot bear the thought that an animal died for their food.
Not sure, but we may have a generation growing up with little concept of where their meat comes from. Ask, and get "The store."
The problem is that society is simultaneously becoming less able to deal with the aberrants. It's out of their ability to process, completely traumatizing. No guns, no tolerance for them, abject fear of what they might do. More and more people are becoming vegetarians because they cannot deal with the idea that something had to die for their food. It's narrowing, reducing our ability to adapt and cope.
There are very valid reasons for having that tolerance, knowing about tools and weapons, for having a breath of experience. Knowing how to hunt, to fish, to make things, to design things. Sounds very Time Machine, gradually making people into Eloi.
If you are not confident of your ability to keep customers by just offering a network for them to use their phone on, you are doing piss-poor as a business.
Honestly at this point I'd be cheering if lawsuits related to these unpatched security issues started cropping up. It's their own fault, they wanted to mess with that's in the OS load to "differentiate", they became liable for delays. Can't process patches fast enough? Boo-hoo, try just adding your network info to what the manufacturer sends you and hitting "deploy ".
Mandatory ad-space, no ability to have multiple chat windows showing on the screen at the same time, totally unable to pull them out so can look at them all at a glance. Basically everything gets forced into one mold. Oh, also their killing support for any third-party access. I'm pretty sure that was what made me stop using them entirely.
