Actually no, ice warnings* were passed onto the Bridge, which the Captain choose to ignore, as he was endevouring to beat the record for the fastest crossing on a maiden voyage. The lesson being, don't go full steam ahead into an ice field, in the middle of the ice season, at night under a moonless night.
“On the 11th April, she received 6 warnings from ships stopped in, or passing through, heavy ice, 5 more on the 12th, 3 more on the 13th, and 7 on the 14th.”

Oouch!
I would prefer a voting-up only option, else the down-voting option gets abused.
They could provide a report a duplicate link.
@beders: “Anybody else amused that we use this bare-bones, no-frills forum to discuss high-tech? ;)”
I find it one of, if not the best tech forum online. They could stop modding comments that they disagree with into oblivion.
My thoughts precicely, is there anyone on here that could explain the intricacies of these kind of trades?
A bit of a design flaw, I wonder did they spend as much money on the software as Equifax did?

But empty space isn't .. er .. empty ...
.. as well as self-serving corporate and political interests. As in they sit on an article 24/7 making sure nothing controversial get in.

Except for those that contradict the inner party. Go to the Talk Page and discuss it they say. Do that and your account gets disabled for violating some obscure WP rule.
Remember when the software had to comply with the hardware instead of the other way round :]
I think he meant you can't totally disable snap auto-updating.

> This virus is unlikely to be going away any time soon. Some say it will be with us for a "very long time" because even a vaccine is likely to be effective only over the short term and therefore the "herd immunity" will never really take place. We need to get serious about the long term strategy. This could be a one cheap, quick and effective tactic for reopening.
IP addresses are masked if using a registered account. It would be interesting to cross-reference those except Wikipedia don't gave this out.
I do know I opted-out of Wikipedia after being censured for posting the birth date of a deceased individual. In violating of privacy policy or some such WP:bla bla bla. The terms of which are impossible for the average individual to decode. A fortnite later the information was inserted by some senior administrator. I guess all Wikipedians are equal, except some are more equal than others.
‘Long term readers will recall the Philip Cross Affair. A Wikipedia Editor named “Philip Cross” was relentlessly conducting a propaganda operation’ ..
‘The incredible thing about “Philip Cross” was that he never took a single day off. From 29 August 2013 to 14 May 2018 “Philip Cross” edited Wikipedia every day, including Christmas days, for 1,721 days.’
Give Lubuntu a try.

Sorry for the delay in answering, “Social Engineering” is not hacking. Manipulating the SS7 protocols for nefarious ends, could be considered hacking.

Have you any idea just how difficult it is to get dried-in yogurt out of an iPad screen.
Why not generate a unique key for each device on first boot? isn't it a fact that the original purchaser does not have control of the trusted computer platform. Trusted as in the OEMs trust they can control your computer.
Yes ..
