The two are completely district languages. Kind of like comparing Java with JavaScript. I'm sure in general Microsoft would love to scrap VB in Excel but there's too many companies that run entire areas of business on it, or the w

Google has gone the opposite direction. I feel like throwing everything behind a VPN and pretending it is secure is a crux. Several famous break-ins over the last ten years have hypothetically been on the inside of that wall. Better to isol

Last week we had this exact issue. We added an iPad and tried to purchase something, but the only card on file was long since expired and thrown away. But in order to verify the account we had to enter the card's digits, which we did n

Depressingly every place I've worked has had policies against Easter Eggs. I guess it is part of becoming a more professional industry. It we did add an Easter Egg it would likely need a spec, docs, owner, and code review.

Kind of like the AT&T "hack" wherein just changing the url leaked other customers info. They were still successfully prosecuted though. And AT&T received no punishment. When a company says jump the USG asks how high.

AMP is built on Google's CDN, and the standard is controlled by Google for Google's own self interests. It being "open source" or not kind of misses the bigger picture. If Google had any interest in AMP being a web stand

And then a second crash occurred where they followed Boeing's procedure, it didn't work, were forced to diverge and then crashed. Boeing's procedure only works if you catch it quickly. If you let MCAS trim the aircraft too mu

Mechanical keyboards require deeper compression and are thus the opposite of what you want. They'll worsen strain. Have you checked your chair/table height, monitor height, and are you placing both feet on the floor? You might be

That's commentary. We can reasonably speculate they were looking at warnings and the flight log, autopilot is only one part of the flight director and as autopilot was never turned back on, pointing at it seems odd.

If the client hashes the password then the hash itself is the password. Meaning stealing the hashes passwords is the same as stealing the plain text password for which they're based, since you can post them direct. Blizzard entertainme

Honestly Microsoft's hardware has been a rocky road. I own a Surface Pro 3 and Surface Book, and in both cases they were unstable for almost six months until receiving firmware and driver updates. After they were patched they've b

No what I said was that there's no value even having a FSA until you cap your HSA. An FSA is worse than a HSA by every metric, cannot invest it, lose it after twelve months, many lack a debit card (or charge), cannot increase or decrea

On what part? People not having over $6750 spare each year or that being the HSAs cap? For the 2016, 17, and 18 contribution limits see here https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/hr-topics/benefits/pa...

That only applies to people wealthy enough to cap out a HSA at $6750/year.

We didn't return because we didn't feel it was Zenni's fault. There was no defect with the glasses, they just didn't happen to fit my wife's face and couldn't be adjusted to. I was just posting to point out an

We did exactly this last time (prescription sunglasses and regular from Zenni). We went to Costco for the exam/prescription which was pretty hassle free. I'll set out the positives and negatives: Positive: They nailed the prescrip

Aircraft are an interesting case where nobody except state actors can really afford to evaluate their security. White hats and grey hats know the whole area is a minefield, and even a whiff of impropriety can bring the heel of the law down

And do what? Logitech hasn't established a specific duty (inc. contract) to keep their devices online for any length of time. So therefore the only test might be "reasonable expectation" which is a pretty low bar. The FTC are

That's circumstantial. People are blaming the DRM because the DRM simply exists; all the breakpoint proves is that VMProtect does what it says it does (decode sections of the game in the VM). It doesn't however prove that the DRM

It clearly WAS a willful violation... You aren't allowed film in the location they filmed, the filming took place before the phone even shipped to carriers, and they released the film before the ship date. And to top it off, there&#x27
