My gut reaction is that this is possibly why they went with a flat controller pad. AFAIK, they also went with the pad in Japan, and I don't know if the above commercial reasons applied or not. If not, then this argument is redundant- but whether or not it it was originally caused by Nintendo being intentionally different, the NES's success in Japan and the US ultimately led to flat-pad-style controller gaming taking over and becoming the "default" method of control.
First time I ever saw a pad was on the Intellivision... Those discs felt pretty comfortable.
Although many journals are not yet supportive for open access (I can't find a preprint policy for Science Magazine), the trend is clearly towards allowing preprint archiving.
Looking at their licensing agreement here. it would appear that you can post your work in a very limited fashion... in some cases you'd need to ask the AAAS for permission to reprint your own material once submitted.
...but I'm not lawyer-shaped, so mayhaps one here can render an opinion...
The FBI said that in the '80s they thought they had virtually wiped out pedophilia and trafficking in child pornography. Since the rise of the internet, the number of arrests for these crimes has risen dramatically.
One might suggest that the 'net has made these folks higher-profile, not lower... and thereby easier to arrest.
Look at the IRC channels and kiddie chat rooms. If you can see 'em, you can hunt 'em. If you don't know they're there, or believe they've been "virtually wiped out", then ya can't bust 'em.
Save everything on your companies network, keep laptop free of trade secrets and sensitive data, VPN into company network when at destination - problem solved.
Everything solved payment for the replacement laptop when they don't give it back...
If you manage to read down a few paragraphs you'll see the part where he explains why Vista does things differently than previous versions of Windows, and why it's better.
Sure, as long as you're copying less than around 16384 files...
Remind me which industry is too big for its britches, again?
Broadly, the entertainment industry.
"Big Music" earned $18bn globally last year - much less than Apple Inc. alone, and about the same as Google Inc.
They could've made more if they'd given their customers what they wanted, instead of sticking to what is widely seen as a flawed business model.
You're proving his point.
Try reading carefully before you post next time. My reply was to this:
In fact, I never heard anyone ever criticize anything about copyright until it became easy to download copied music and movies from the web.
I simply pointed out that it's a rehash of the earlier fight.
But don't let facts spoil your argument, if it allows you to justify not paying for stuff. Heck, that's your Freetard right, dammit.
Wow. What a jackass. If you read any of my other posts, you'd find my reasoning. To paraphrase 'em: I've never advocated piracy. But when it's been made criminal for a deaf guy to view legally-purchased DVDs on his own computer {to avoid noise complaints from the neighbors} because of the RIAA's lobbying, the RIAA has to go.
People aren't on slashdot arguing about copyright because copyright is a problem. They are doing it because it helps them justify piracy/theft. There was no huge outcry 20 years ago about copyright terms or the penalties for infringement. In fact, I never heard anyone ever criticize anything about copyright until it became easy to download copied music and movies from the web.
Guess you weren't born early enough to hear the whining about VCRs, were you?
I'll gripe when any industry gets too big for its britches 'n' starts pissing on the consumer. No "piracy" excuse needed.
But eventually, when more and more systems fail because of poor software, software development will need to be formally recognized as an engineering discipline. Or we can do that now, and prevent bad software from happening in the first place.
If 15+ years of BSODs don't qualify as failure, I don't know what does...
Strangely, I've yet to hear a kind word from the normals in the real world.
They're there. Two in our shop in the last week: an elderly gentleman and a Joe Six-Pack. I'm not calling 'em gurus, but they knew enough to ask for Linux options. The former ended up with Ubuntu to replace his other Linux install {I forget the flavor at current}, and the latter wants to discuss distros to install next week.
It's not overly common yet, but the fact that Grandpa came INTO the shop with it installed was greatly heartening...
DIP switches to set the address, and without a list of existing addresses, was a recipe for disaster for fresh installs. In addition it used coax, which some of the older field techs here can probably attest to having seen crimped with pliers. Terminators on both ends.
That book is for newbies who want everything explained carefully...hence the perception of bloat for an experienced user.
Are you sure? From the review:
The problem is, many of the solutions revolve around steps that are not necessarily a good idea for the pc novice. A large portion of the solutions revolve around editing the registry.
We've all seen the damage newbs can do when playing with the registry...have you?
Improving the process = making it more efficient = making it require less manpower = increased capacity = PROFIT!!!
Unless said profit trickles down to the lower levels of a company, it'll be hard to motivate a worker with that one. Most people could care less if it means their boss is suddenly able to get that new yacht he always wanted while they're still driving that '89 Geo Metro.
There is a very large difference between the psychodynamic approach to psychology and the more modern approaches such as cognitive neuroscience.
Translation: We went from "You need years of therapy. That'll be $200 please. NEXT!" on to "You have a chemical imbalance, even though we've done nary a blood test. Here's a 'scrip for medication that costs $150 per month. That'll be $200 please. NEXT!"...
No. Would you feel safer insulting a 260 pound rugby all-star in a pub, in his neighborhood, just because you're anonymous? Of course not. You would assess the situation and decide, ahead of time, that maybe insulting a 260 pound rugby all-star in his home pub is probably not a good idea regardless of anonymity.
If you're face-to-face with someone, you can be identified... That's not anonymous. Try another example.
If you start posting logs, with pictures, of all the pr0n that Slashdot users have ever looked at, and you get a bunch of bible-thumpers at your site, you'll quickly create a mob of people who think that Slashdot is one of the most horrible deviances on the planet (which it very well may be)--especially if you include goatse.cx. Except that, if you put a similar blog in sight of other Slashdot users, they say,"Yeah, so? That's weak. We've got pr0n archives twice as large, and twice as varied, on our local hard drives."
...and?
The logs would still be accurate. You can't say it didn't happen, which is what's happening here: revisionist history.
So one lawyer's blog attempts to defame another lawyer for *gasp* things that lawyers do all the time and you're all taking the bait like the target conspired with Saddam Hussein and ObL to nuke all of north America.
You have to weigh that against lost productivity from employees needing to remote into their workstation at night and print that document to submit for tomorrow's 8:00am deadline. They'll now be able to blame IT, when the boneheaded logon-hours policy makes them fail.
You might be able to set up an "exception" ticket with the IT department, or set up a Magic Packet arrangement tied to their machine.

Yup, it's much better to network today.

You can find sets to open most security screws for under $20.
Example here....
Glad to see Jaime advocating an alternative in the mainstream. Joe Six-Packs need to know the choice is there before they can make the choice.
Silly question: If this is the first time this has been done, how can you determine just what "the most likely scenario" might be?

You'll note they mention "false charges or misrepresentations" and "unjustly unfavorable impression(s)"... in little words, a lie.
Weird world you live in where an ugly truth is trumped by a pretty lie.
