That's fine for paper contracts... but what do you do when your hiring paperwork is all electronic, including the signatures? This is increasingly common at some large corporations. Print, edit, submit?
Thanks, the one in TFA was terrible. I notice a dark patch right on the border of West Virginia and Virginia... it corresponds pretty well to the National Radio Quiet Zone. Shouldn't that remain an area that has minimal 3G/4G coverage?
If SOPA passes, this might actually make me switch back to Firefox from Chrome. Of course, I'd have to download the plugin before it got stomped by a SOPA claim.
I've used Handbrake in the past, and like their software. I tried using it recently on my new laptop, though, and was having trouble with playing the output. Probably I tweaked some setting wrong... whatever it was, VLC didn't like it. Instead of slogging through and trying to figure it out, I went looking for alternative software. I tried Freemake Video Converter, and it worked pretty well for my needs (i.e., giving me disc-free Wrath of Khan on-the-go).
But today, with computers and intarwebs and such things, these records are free and pretty broadly available. So someone who, say, wants to letter bomb the residents and owners of every apartment in a tri-county area, can do it with virtually no effort or expense.
Not sure this is a very good argument. What's to stop someone from doing the same thing using a local phone book?
What about taking many low resolution images of the same area and combine them later using super resolution?
Because not only is the satellite moving, things in the scene may be moving as well. Parallax, motion blurs, clouds, and missing objects make such a method difficult to pursue using the multiple-image approach.
How much time in every first-term presidency is spent trying to get a second term? How much time is wasted on the campaign trail that could be put to use in other, more constructive manners?
As for my actual agenda... while keeping in mind that politics is a two level game and international concerns must continue to receive support, I would do my best to support domestic initiatives, particularly education. I'd also make darn sure I had some good advisors, because I know I don't have all the answers.
This reminds me of the classic engineering choice: "faster, better, cheaper: pick two". Based on the brief article, it seems they want all three, with "faster" being the priority. My guess is that "better" will be the one that suffers.
What about something like the Expansion Pak for the Nintendo 64? There were quite a few games that took advantage of its benefits without being absolutely necessary for gameplay... would a direction like that be possible & adviseable for HD gameplay?
So what would it take to enact such a measure? My guess would be a multi-billion-dollar industry of our very own, much like the constituent organizations of the RIAA already have. Without that, this is simply wishful thinking. Are there any ideas to the contrary?
Any ideas on how such a reduction in copyright could be bad?
Do you suppose this will cause contention between Google and Mozilla? I thought they had a mutually beneficial arrangement going... but what happens when Google owns DoubleClick, when one of Firefox's most popular add-ons--AdBlock--works to help us ignore DoubleClick ads? Will we see any sort of friction?
So what happens if I live in a different area from my favorite band, or if the local scene isn't too hot? It might not be as big a problem for major metropolitan areas, but out in the sticks, your options get scarcer.
You raise valid points... but you also have to fund the fuel and other logistics for the ship that has to go pick the capsule up. If the capsule might land off target, then maybe you should have a backup ship or two... financially, it adds up quickly.
I think that SETI is a waste of time. It's freakin' miracle that there is life on earth, let alone intelligent life. What are the chances of finding another intelligent species? Pretty close to zero, if you make no attempt to look.
You raise a valid point. One possibility I can think of that would work around this would depend on the funding of these actors and accessability of mobile launchers, though this admittedly might have hints of 007 about it.
If I remember correctly, ATL is designed with boost phase interception in mind. This means that the warheads/reentry vehicles are all still in the same vicinity--riding the launcher--going in the same direction at the same speed. That makes the problem of taking them out slightly easier, and diminishes the targeting problem you rightly point out.
Mutually Assured Destruction was indeed a key doctrine during the Cold War, when the US and the USSR were fairly well-matched in terms of nuclear capability and related intelligence. With the threat and advent of smaller, potentially non-state actors acquiring nuclear capabilities, you wind up with a precarious new imbalance that is difficult to gather intelligence upon and that the old doctrine just doesn't serve as well. This is new territory, and we're trying to adapt.

Mr. Malda, thank you for all that you've done for us. I wish you nothing but the best. -KF
It's a joke referring to a subset of players for a particular Wii game... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-7gmds2njg&feature=player_embedded

Does it feel pain?
How about this? http://lima.usgs.gov/

Sure it can. It's called "drowning."
...I'd plan on having a four-year term.

And, diabolically enough, Google can escape any blame for accidents because it will likely only be a beta.

Don't those seven questions mentioned in the summary apply to any job, and not just information security?
You must be new here.
