I wonder how much of that spending went to training their employees that "password", "letmein" and lastly "123" are *NOT* the best passwords.
Just happened today: The uber-friendly shopkeeper next door asked me to help him void a transaction. When the password prompt came up, he looked at me and simply said, "1-2-3-4-5."
Actually, a linux box in the hands of a clueless user can be just as dangerous if not more so than a windows box in the same hands.
Depends on the distro...I've seen some live CDs that could cause trouble in the hands of a padawan...
The real threat is ignorance here.
I'm not so sure. I'm more likely likely to attribute illegal intrusions/Tphtphtph-ware to the weenies engaged in it. I'm not saying it's impossible to accidentally write fast-spreading worms, but I believe it's a wee bit rarer than the intentional sort.
Robot equipment would perform the maintenance, powered by the array itself.
...and how will the robots create a new solar panel if a panel is damaged?
Think of them as an army of advanced Roombas.
Are they able to repair themselves, and if so, where do they get spare parts?
As far as the idea is concerned, I'd not mind if they can do it cleanly. The S-G power delivery methods I'd heard of so far have been microwave-based; anyone think there'd be any impact to global warming?
With jokes like that, I think Fox should seriously consider hiring you to create your own show to compete with the Daily Show.
Fox DID hire me as a writer to compete with the Daily Show, you insensitive clod!
All joking aside, I'm rather curious to see what her job description will be. If she's just another "analyst" with a 10-second sound bite, does this move count as a step down?
Only an observer *outside* of time could ever see the change in the brane-space and only they would ever see the stuck versions of ourselves at the point of the signature change.
IANAP, so pardon if these questions seem basic...
Ok, in this theory, we're stuck. Nothing actually takes place after the "total stoppage" of time... H'wever, earlier you'd said that:
Instead, we would experience time as normal as we are attached to it, and would have no clue that we can go no further.
My questions being: Are our "experiences" post-time-halt actually real? Are they observable to anyone but ourselves {ourselves meaning within the EH}? Would everything actually remain the same in the universe post-stop? Is there a possibility of even a minute property change?
There's no reason for a remote kill that can be used by anyone that can convince a judge.
...unless someone uses "public safety/think of the kids!" as a goad...
Don't get me wrong, you're preaching to the choir as far as enumerated rights... The problem is just that most of my countrymen are too willing to start at the Bogeyman instead of thinking out the problems at hand in a rational manner that'd be fair to everyone...
...but if you thought it was something external, like, say, having a lot of money...
No, thankfully, I got over THAT hurdle pretty early on in life. I've found many affluent people FAR more neurotic than their "lower-class" counterparts, and would rather find satisfaction in life without comparing mine to others. Let the rest of the schlubs keep up with the Joneses; my fiance and I are happy with each other and our direction in life.
It'd be hard to be more satisfied than I am now...
Given that it was the first thought that entered my head when I read the headline (and probably that of every true geek) I wouldn't be so quick to judge.
Amen. I was just about to try to tag it "transparent aluminum"...
Strange, I've never worked as a tech although I've supported groups in IT operations and I've encountered contact problems with both RJ-45 and RJ-15 jacks so many times that I couldn't put a real number to them.
Yup. Especially common in "road warrior" laptops that see a LOT of plugging/unplugging, food service venues that get that "food gunk" built up everywhere, and offices that allow drinks in the cube, or have bare wire stretched/scotch-taped to the floor...
Agreed, but I never said that Macs didn't have games. I asked if the games in the review were also on the Mac, and for a general status on Mac gaming. That said, I decided to check for myself.
No to Bioshock. Nothing on World in Conflict. Out of luck on Call of Juarez, no for Lost Planet. Company of Heroes? Nada.
Any game that is worth it's salt comes out also for the Mac.
I just checked, and the section allows for law enforcement access....
Required by law means a mandate contained in law that compels a covered entity to make a use or disclosure of protected health information and that is enforceable in a court of law. Required by law includes, but is not limited to, court orders and court- ordered warrants; subpoenas or summons issued by a court, grand jury, a governmental or tribal inspector general, or an administrative body authorized to require the production of information; a civil or an authorized investigative demand; Medicare conditions of participation with respect to health care providers participating in the program; and statutes or regulations that require the production of information, including statutes or regulations that require such information if payment is sought under a government program providing public benefits.
Pretty nebulous there, and I'll bet 10-to-1 that the system WILL be socially engineered based on this section...

I couldn't resist. I looked back at him and said, "That's funny. I've got the same combination on my luggage..."

In other news, Fiorina will push to aquire the "We Network", rename it to "You" to make it more personal, and later merge it with Fox.
The new network, of course, will be:Fox-You
Coming soon to a boardroo^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hcable provider near you!
They don't. They DO come out when bribed with the potential of a gift cert that'll buy more blinky lights.

...and food for thought: Would a helmet that could induce happiness when worn prove that happiness doesn't exist?
-sigh- fine...
If you could smack Natalie Portman in the face with a pie, what would be your favored flavor choice?
Lighten up, folks... or have you already forgotten the infamous pie episodes?
...smack Bill Gates in the face with a pie, what would be your favored flavor choice?
Amen. I was just about to try to tag it "transparent aluminum"...
...but he's got B*d L*ght!
...only if you say ..."PONIES!" afterward...
Might want to look into some of the digital PBXes... NEC has a nice series; as it's digital, you can use 1 run of cat5 for 4 RJ11 jacks...
...yet...
Yup. Especially common in "road warrior" laptops that see a LOT of plugging/unplugging, food service venues that get that "food gunk" built up everywhere, and offices that allow drinks in the cube, or have bare wire stretched/scotch-taped to the floor...

Any game that is worth it's salt comes out also for the Mac....by whose standards?
...and how many of the games listed in the article review will run on Mac, natively? Jus' curious, as we'd want it to be a fair comparison...
Heck, as I don't own one, I'm rather curious to see how many popular game titles are also available on Mac. Anyone?
BUZZ! Wrong answer! That was the right answer for HD-DVD, not BR...

Dawkins, progressive? I'll buy that when I hear more theory from him than snarking at theists.
As for Randi, I first heard of him when Uri Gellar started performing in the 70's... Pretty sure that's where he got the most mention.
True, and IMHO a lot of it will depend on how smoothly the geekery behind this next trick works... From the article:
"It does it by simply measuring the reflectivity of human skin,"I'm curious to see the false positives/negatives this system generates, and why...
