If anyone needs or have to install windows 7 on DELL brand laptops for any reason, I highly recommend you to wait until you confirm it can be done.
I have Dell XPS/Precision 11 and 13, the problem is the Windows 7 have difficulty to boot from UEFI, and you will stuck because AHCI is not supported by these DELL's BIOS.
I bought some XPS 13 with ubuntu installed. By the time I need windows 7 on the field, but I found out it is not possible because you will stuck at "AHCI not competable" BSoD no matter what ever you do.
I bet not everyone realized it is not possible(with my limited knowledge) to install Windows 7 on DELL laptops with UEFI bios.
here is what he wrote: If I were back in high school and someone asked about my plans, I'd say that my first priority was to learn what the options were.
Silicon Valley, or people on HN generally, are doing this unconsciously. I was shock that a lot of (non tech)people accept things as they are (as default). They let phone APP like LinkedIn scan and grab the contact list; buy things that are in the trend; over estimate price but underestimate value, etc.
ADs is good only if they introduce something new, CES-ish new, something that are not in the trend but available up on request. Something that you are not aware of, hope we get to that type of ad-era soon enough.
No it doesn't, it can however be used to file a harassment or abuse of power law suit against the officers / police department / DA.
The police doesn't need a warrant for most things they due in their line of duty, most warrants are requested to compel instead of risking seeking consent not because the law mandates judicial approval.
This is true but not for the reason you cite. It would be stalking if they make a statement that will place the person in reasonable fear of harm. If they did that, in most states, it won't matter whether they are doing it as cops or not. Some states have "no lawful justification" in the text (which would protect police), but most don't.
Various states do have laws that would cover this that are not stalking (violations of various invasion of privacy, wiretapping, etc).
Most are written in the way that it will be unlawful even if they are police.
Real banks will ask you for Driver Licenses and SSN when you open a bank account with them.
Information on DL has your height, eye color, address, telephone number, your photo, your finger prints. That's why they don't need to ask for your income again.
However, I tried Coinbase and will not use them ever again.
"Quora is a knowledge-sharing community that depends on everyone being able to pitch in when they know something."
I just cannot stand with Quora keep asking me to continue with Facebook or google. If majority of users in Quora are based on people who obey dictatorship from Quora, then probably it is not the place for true knowledge.
(Rant up ahead, mildly directed at parent, but really directed at the average person espousing parent's view on HN, of which there are a surprising number. so, xkiwi - please don't take it personally, it's not really about you, I'm just unloading frustration).
For your own sake, I suggest you take a serious look at your worldview. You are saying that people on Quora are "obeying a dictatorship" because Quora chooses to "force" them (on their own property, mind you) to use Facebook or Google, which is something almost everyone uses.
Your point of view is so far from the mainstream, and might I add so insulting to the people who use Quora, not to mention the people who built this amazing, free of charge site that so many people love, that I think you won't be able to hold a meaningful conversation with almost anyone else.
And might I add, talking in this way shows a complete lack of empathy with almost anyone else in the world. If your base assumption is that Quora is a dictatorship that people obey, it really seems like you have never taken more than 2 seconds to think about someone else's point of view in your life.
i always get a link like this one, read something, then any link i click i get to some crippled page instead of the content and some bad ui that doesn't even make it clear what weird ritual they expect to show the content.
Adblock seems to block that annoying overlay that covers the page. You can also get rid of it by copying and pasting the following line into your browser's web console or debugger:
Do you think that paying in cash at the toll booth is any more private? A photo of your license plate is taken at cash toll booths (Northeastern corridor E-ZPass and California Fastrak).
If someone keeps their Twitter handle disambiguated from their personal life, is there a reason why they can't #followallthehashtags?
most traffic condition on map rely on Toll Tag to measure travel time and speed between points, on normal highway.
Unless you have a detachable tag, otherwise your tag ID will appear on every single major interception, with time, speed between blocks. Most of Tag will ship to your house, and/or auto fill by credit card once the balance is low.
People probably imagine they will be erased after few years, but $sudo happeneds.

In principle there's no reason the same thing couldn't happen with license plate readers in all but the most dense of traffic. The tags likely make it easier, but with plate-reader technology it should still be possible to do just using license plates.
They're probably not erased after a few years; these records have already been used for criminal investigations. Considering their utility, I'd be surprised if they were erased.
The DC metro area performs its traffic tracking via old-fashioned cameras, license plate reading, and pressure sensors in the highway.
I don't really know what the linked story has to do with toll RFID tags or automobile tracking; I was expecting some kind of source that supported your claim.
What scares me is how few people take passwords, anti-virus/anti-malware, clean browsing habits, etc. seriously.
Without better end-node security, individuals and the entire internet are always at risk. (I'm primarily looking at you Windows...). In other words, IMO big government and corporate overreach are minor problems compared to the active-assault going on to dominate the non-technical end-user computers.
I'm thinking about running Wireshark on my machine to analyze the packets to see what is going on. Or, putting a non-switch ethernet hub between my wifi router and my modem to tap in with Wireshark to see if anything else looks fishy. You're right. We should all be paranoid.
I always wonder about this: in order to decrypt a file/volume encrypted by TrueCrypt, user just need to type their NOT-SO-LONG password. With today's capability such as EC2 or quantum computing as you mentioned, isn't that just minutes away to crack a 12 digi password?
I am surprised most of us only believe/get news from CNN & MSNBCish.
Vietnam is the one who building in the South China Sea.
Vietnam is building two islands: West London Reef and Sand Cay, at the year of 2010.
Vietnam build islands, CNN FOX cricket, cricket.
China build islands, it is against international law.
