They can technically do anything they want with the input you provide. Personally I would never trust an opaque operating system even if they provided clear details as to what the configuration options are and how they are used.

I assume this article is interesting because it tells you to "disable ad-blocker" :) -pass

The article is light on the technical details. Here's the API: https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/
Re:Pervasive Monitoring Is an Attack on Tuesday May 13, 2014 @04:03PM (#7740353)
IANAL. The ham radio community needs to raise this with the FCC. This section was originally constructed a long time ago (1993?). I'm guessing it's biased this way to stop 1940's era spys from operating.
Re:How ACH works: A developer perspective on Friday April 25, 2014 @11:59AM (#7647277)
Not in our lifetime. Cryptocurrencies will just be another bolt on and thing we need to integrate. The upshot is that the banks probably won't manage this. The downside is that the banks probably won't manage this.

All of the banks I deal with use FTPS (which is called "secure" ftp). I have yet to deal with one that uses SFTP (ssh-ftp).

Any advice if the company is already public and they are offering stock options as part of the compensation package?
Re:Download a copy of your Gmail and Google Calendar data on Thursday December 05, 2013 @01:23PM (#6856065)
IIRC, the last time Google gave a service the ability to download (export) data, they closed it shortly there after. (RIP Reader)

Re:Bitcoins reached $300 on Thursday November 07, 2013 @03:57PM (#6692334)
The only way for coins to evaporate is for the wallets to get lost. It happens. The thing people seem to get stuck on is that a coin isn't divisible. It is. Even if there was only a single coin available to the market, it would still function, albeit the real value of that one coin would be equal to the size of the market.
Re:Nexus 5 on Thursday October 31, 2013 @10:50PM (#6651538)
I'm logged in (non-dev account) and not seeing the purchase link. I wonder why they made so few. Seems ridiculous that they'd sell out within a couple hours.
Re:Nexus 5 on Thursday October 31, 2013 @10:42PM (#6651512)
What do you mean still taking orders? From what I can see there is no order button on google play anymore, just the wishlist one.
Re:Nexus 5 on Thursday October 31, 2013 @04:55PM (#6649794)
The funny thing is that I got their "sales" email 2 hours after they sold out of the last phone on Play.
Re:Nexus 5 on Thursday October 31, 2013 @04:54PM (#6649776)
Bah. Typical online store crap. Why the hell can't they do real pre-orders instead of running out of inventory. You'd think that Google would have heard of kickstarter by now and actually figured out why that sales model rocks.
Has anyone actually confirmed that Ladar Levison is behind this?

We all sit here and watch as it happens.

Are you calling us all armchair dissidents?

<sarcasm>Wait, you mean it's not for personal enjoyment?!</sarcasm>

I believe that sarcasm is supposed to be contained.
