CBS and NBC have been targeted by Fox News as "LiBeRaL mEdIa!" Fox News biggest fans don't quite get that Fox News does this all the time. But because the "Liberal Media" does it, it is more fuel to the fire, and put more fuel in the Liberal Conspiracy Theory...
Well the difference it between a hate crime and an over zealot would be cop who puts the law in his own hand. I personally think he should still be arrested. As he had many options to avoid getting into the fight. Heck he caused it. I would expect the kid did attack him, not as not to start the aggression but he was standing his own grown to protect himself if possible.
Perhaps a silly question... Why do a lot of the stars when you zoom in you get a black dot in the middle... I mean if they were a planet. 1. so many of them shouldn't be almost directly in the middle. 2. Those planets would be HUGE (or a rogue planet eclipsing the star (still why then are all of them in the center) So that seems unlikely.
While the Wii was very successful, even tough technologically as advanced as its nearest competitors as the PS3 and the Xbox 360. However with the new version, you would expect it to be at least a little more powerful the their aging competitors. It not like I am expecting the Wii U to have superior graphics over the PS4 or the Xbox 720 but... It should be at least a little better then these old systems.
Such an eloquent verbiage! Enlighten comments such as this is all it takes to convince society that you are an educated citizen who is qualified to diagnose the problems with our judicial system.
I want to simulate a multi-billion dollar project by the military for under $1000.
My best advice is to strap a smartphone to a balloon with a para-shoot launch it up into the air. when it comes down use Find my phone or simular feature to find it. Download the data and you got your data.
That is the stupidest comment I have ever read. You know these companies that make software, they have staff, they are not going to work for free because they need to pay for food, shelter, travel, fuel, health care, entertainment, education and save some up for an emergency, For themselves and often for other dependents as well. These people are good at "sequencing bits" in new original ways, when executed on a computer that will give entertainment to others. You are not paying for the bits you are paying for the work to make it. Well if you think about it you are probably more likely paying for them to work on their next project.
Standard GNU methods of making profit doesn't work too well with games. 1. You are not going to charge for consulting. If the game needs a consultant they wont play it. 2. If you are not going to charge for support. They just won't pay for it. 3. You could sell add ons. However you need to be careful as those add ons may break the GNU. 4. You package the game on a piece of hardware. Which may work... However after they get the source there will be a PC version soon and they will no longer need your hardware.
Sorry but the GNU model doesn't lead itself for a market of developers. if all software was GNU then Programming will be strictly a part-time/hobby thing and quality will go down the toilet because in order to make money they will need other full time jobs with a different discipline and less people willing to study computer science.
Companies in the past have tried selling games for Linux. Including some big titles. However here are some estimates 1. Linux use for the desktop is at around 1% 2. 25% of that 1% are Open Source Zealots who will not pay for a program that isn't open source. 3. 25% of that 1% are just too cheap to buy software. 4. 25% of what is left isn't interested in games. 5. 15% Will just Duel Boot/Virtualize/Wine to play the Windows version of the game. Leaving 10% of that 1% (0.1%) of sales. Of the product. Is that worth having to program a port, have support trained, and testing and bug fixing for that platform?
There is a place for that type of action. It is called Jail. For the most part these insecure systems are designed to be ran on the companies intranet. Where your attempt to hack into the system you will only be able to obtain information you can get much easier other ways So on the list of IT priorities, the security of that legacy application made/Updated in the mid 1990's is rather low compared to other issues.
Thin clients are not for the end user they are for the administrators and the people who spend the money. You will almost always be better off if you have a full speed desktop at your beck and call vs. a Thin Client... However those clients can stay current much longer and at the cost of a beefy server so Admins don't have to do desktop fixes and you don't need to upgrade every system every 3 years.
A lot of enterprises would love to give Firefox or Chrome as their standard browser. Much better use of the standards and faster and predictable running of modern stuff. So if you want to move away from your Legacy Java Applets to a new System Mozilla is a good choice for an enterprise technically to standardize on. However the Mozilla foundations are being a bunch of Elitists Richards, and seemed hell bent to make sure that Mozilla isn't incorporated in an Enterprise environment. And Enterprises need to make a policy of saying we do not support this product. So as we migrate away from those old legacy Java Applets, which can take years to do. We are replacing them with Apps specialized and optimized for IE because we don't have any other logical choice. Because IE is the only browser that will allow the Enterprise run its own way.
Java found it niche. JavaEE is still big, as it is a great platform for Web Services. However Java Applications have never gotten popular because they always end up looking a bit out of date (although it has greatly improved) compared to what the other platforms offer.
Slashdot hates Java because they hate anything that isn't Pure GNU open source.
I don't know why all the fuss is about breaking our version scheme so the Enterprise has a harder time planning appropriate upgrades to their work stations. And now we decided to break compatibility with your legacy Java systems.
So now we have to be sure that we upgrade our Java first then Firefox... However we had planned to do Fire Fox this week and Java next month, after you know we test our applications that we need to run our business with the new Java version.
The enterprise doesn't stick with IE because they think it is a good browser they know how much it sucks. They stick with it because it can be maintained and managed properly in an enterprise environment.
Our constitution wasn't ignored. A lot of attention went to it and that part was just rejected. We need to pressure congress to add amendments to really protect (Non-Convicted) prisoners rights, I would add rules that prevent a lot of methods to trick people into breaking the law so they can collect fines. (Such as those No Turn on Red Signs places about 10 feet from where you stop your car. So if you are stopped at a red light you cannot see if there is a sign or not. Because they know people cannot always read every sign that is posted in the road and have it out of site you can give them a ticket for the activity they didn't know was illegal. But the courts will say well you should have read the sign before you got to the light.
The size was 5 1/4" for those floppy disks. And if you want to be dated there are the single sided and double sided, standard density, double density, and high density. I have fond memories of the Single Sided Disks where when running a program it would ask me to flip the disk over and press any key.
The 3 1/2 that were in a much harder plastic and those nifty spring loaded covers that meant you didn't need to fiddle with those paper/cardboard cloths, and plastic switches to make the disk read only or not. Where before you needed to either put a sticker around the tab to make it read only... or to make a read only disk readable you would take a paper punch and very carefully punch a hole in the disk casing.
Both Floppy Disks had head cleaning disks which had a white fabric disk inside that you dropped a cleaning solution in and popped the disk in and did a DIR command or other things to spin the disk and sounded like your drive will catch on fire with all the noise.
People when they started getting the 3 1/2 floppy disks though they were hard disks because of their hard plastic coverings... I got blank stares when I tried to explain to them that there is a disk inside that is floppy. Also why would they call it a disk if it was shaped like a square. And a real hard disk was inside the computer and it was called a hard disk because the actual disk was quite rigid.
When ever they talk about school shootings they always seem to go back to screen shots of doom and Mortal Kombat to point out the problem.
However MA15+ Make good business sense. Kids at the age where they can start working at least part time and still living with their parents. = Kids with money who wants to spend it on recreation
No, you are thinking money in terms of your own bank account as a limited fund system. An Economy isn't as much about how much money but how much of it is moving. The more people the more money that can be moving at any point and a stronger economy. Now what slows it down is people who stop moving their money around as much. Such as our current situation where the Banks had stopped giving loans, that causes the people who needs the loans to not make purchases right away and save up funds. So the flow of money isn't as fluid anymore it is building being saved up. Which when it passes a threshold of when this happens too much that the person who is trying to save the money isn't getting as much revenue from a combination of lack of expansion and other people not spending to save their own money.
A higher population normally helps reduce this problem by averaging out the savers with the spenders. But also with a larger work force you have more competition where you have higher quality people to choose from. It feels like it sucks for the common Joe having so many people to compete with jobs, However if they are willing to see where their skill sets are they can find a job at their level. And jobs are available because there are more people who are buying goods and services.
Part of the success of the Baby Boomers was the influx in population. Today we see those immigrants as pull on our society, however I am under the impression if their skin was a little lighter they would have been welcomed as an important pool to keep the US population up, so we can keep expanding.
Not to mention after the war. The United States was the largest nation that had the least collateral damage. So the decades to follow while Europe and Japan was rebuilding the United States had a near monopoly on trade. The USSR was a threat however the way they implemented communism it created a situation where people didn't have that much motivation to build very competitive products, with a few exceptions mostly in weapons. Combined with people living on rations for years, a government forced saving program. When the war was over, people had money, they wanted to spend it and with the GI Bill a lot of these people went to college and got better educated. As well as their time in the war gave a lot of these people discipline that they wouldn't have gotten else ware. While some of the Stimulus spending helped, but not so much in terms of spending but in the fact that it rebuild and improved key areas of the infrastructure.
Monopoly + (Disciplined + Educated) Work Force + With a lot of money saved up + Improved Infrastructure = Dominate Economy.
My old stuff works so much better then my new stuff...%#@&*&(@+++ NO CARRIER Sorry Computer crashed. Because old software was so optimized... $#@%^^++ NO CARRIER For the old equipment. The only trade off was fault tolerance.
You will not believe how much Computing power goes to making sure your computer doesn't crash every day.
Back in the old days computers crashed much more then it does now. And it isn't that they are better programmers but more to the fact that there was a trade off on how much code in the back end needed to be done to protect the system.
You make it sound you can't get both... Profit isn't a dirty word. You offer a service, a person values such a service, they trade you what is considered worth it. If what they consider worth it is more then the cost that you used to produce it you get profit.
The problem is that American Culture has this aspect "No one wan't to get a sub-optimal deal" So if they are paying for Health Insurance they are going to get every dollar out of that insurance they can. Oh well I might as well get an MRI, and CT scan, and these tests too as long as insurance is covering it. So spending goes up. Combine that with a fact if the Dr. Doesn't do an MRI and finds that the problem needed an MRI to be DX and the patient was hurt they could be up to a malpractice suite. That is why socialized medicine will not work in the United States (where it may work in other countries) if everyone had socialized health care we would be demanding a lot more then even today, and the supply would remain constant and prices will still go up, or suffer other consequences. If your goal was to just lower the price of health care. Have every person pay threw their pocket all or a percentage of their heal care expenses. So if they will request to get the MRI and a Cat scan they will have to make a choice if those are worth it or not. Now that idea will lower prices... However most of us will not be able to get past the stories about people who are ill and cannot afford treatment.
Because it has 3 wheels in the States it would be legally considered a Flying Motorcycle. A roadable aircraft would still be handy for some folk. Where they need to travel say more then 40 miles. Where you travel 5 miles to a small airport. Fly 30 miles to the other small airport. Then drive to you destination 5 miles away. So a trip taking you 1 hour to drive would take 25 minutes...
But the French Accent, isn't a regional accent. The accent is due to to speaking English using the phonics of french accent. Unlike English/American/Irish/Scottish/NZ/Australian... Where the language is natural to the speaker.
Not always. A product like this the could report issues that it found, and lead the developers to bock them. As to keep their logs clean. Espectially you send the developers an email notification every time it tries to get hacked.
Yes SQL injections can be solved by proper coding methods, SQL Injections aren't some black magic, they are just due to sloppy coding. However, They do happen and it is often due to improper training on the topic.
1. Most schools offer a very week teaching in SQL to their college grads. So a lot of new Developers entering in the market are learning as they are going along, and may not always think in terms of SQL injection but coding they were taught in school. String Manipulation in the program then send the final output to the DB server for the Query then you get your results back.
2. A lot of experienced developers where SQL is new to them. Cheap high quality DB solutions have really only been available for little over a decade now. Before you needed to shell out serious dough to get a Relational Database System. So a lot of those old programs were written either using raw file IO. Or some other Non-Relational Database Systems such as BTreave. Now these tools have been enterprise class for a decade that means it is going to take 5-10 years for the developers to integrate the technology in their existing products. And now we have developers while experienced, do not have much skills with SQL and just like the new college grads do not always know the best practices.
3. Business requirements had changed. A lot of apps have grown up from just being a quick tool to scratch an itch to an enterprise level system. These quick tools were made for quick coding and output. Sloppy SQL calls may have been made just because they only had a few hours to make it work. Then requirements are added to it... Then at some point the apps moves from your personal tool to a wider use tool, and its user base expands to a point where you need to consider stronger security, by that time it is often too late and you have too much sloppy legacy code.
SQL is the bastard child in software development. And there is little effort in teaching developers how to use it properly. When I was hiring for programmers I gave them a test... The best way to determine if they would pass or fail is to see if they know how to use a Join statement. A lot of people failed (with SQL on their resumes and decades of experience) when I ask them to give me a basic Join Statement. SQL gets hated for the reason no one ever really teaches it. It is a great system with a lot of cool features... However for most developers they are still wondering why is this any better then file IO
