What impresses me significantly is that instead of concentrating on glitzy and often useless new "features," Apple actually implemented substantive performance enhancements. The import of this approach can't be praised enough in my view. Anecdotally, I recovered 6 GB of hard drive space, and immediately experienced noticeably zippier launches since yesterday's upgrade. My MacBook Air on Snow Leopard loaded on feels almost as nimble as my old IBM T-41 that operates on Ubuntu 9.04. Holy cow, this is no small thing. Just, good on them!
Why obsess over it in the first place? What, in the grad scheme of things, difference does it make? So, what if one or two hermaphrodites, or for that matter impostors, do get away with it? It's just freaking sports. I'd recommend standard diligence and then take any later revelations as and if they come.
I'm just curious about 2.6.30 version. In just ran a > to recheck my version and I'm using 2.6.28-13. I ran update just to make sure, and this is the current version for my distribution. So, can anyone tell me whether 2.6.30 is a stable version in widespread use, or is it a bleeding-edge version under development and test. Finding flaws in DT is what's supposed to happen. Unfortunately the takeaway headline for some will be "see? told you Linux is just as vulnerable as Windows!" Well maintained distributions like Ubuntu and its parent distribution Debian take extraordinary care to not only ensure the most stable functioning software base, but seldom have I read of a major flaw for which I haven't seen the update precede announcement of the bug. In those few cases, I read of the bug, and was able to download the fix in very short order. Neither Windows nor Apple have matched their record of response in my experience.
I don't want to sound intemperate, but I'm getting sick and tired of stinking rotten lousy communist-bastard-leftist constantly assaulting my freedoms, fortune and sanity. There, I said it, and I can envision a scene from the movie Network, where millions of people sticks their head out of their windows and shout, "I'm mad as hell and not going to take it anymore!" Then, at that not-so-far-away point of terminal crazy fed-up, one or two terrible things can happen. In the first scenario, the pendulum swings, and stinking rotten lousy right-wing nuts take over. We lose. Or, in the second scenario, it's 1860 all over again, and we split in two, but with a pacifist socialist republic ruling the Northeast, northern Midwest, and West Coast, and the rest of us just happy to be rid of the other group remaining in a slightly less insane fly-over country. Both scenarios suck. But, I guess I'd better start looking at houses in fly-over country as a precaution. In the mean time, could someone please counsel California, and Washington DC while you're at it, to take a breath, and hold it. Keep holding it. No, keep holding it...
Not below cavitation speeds. The overall noise floor is relatively high in the lower portions of the spectrum, given that low frequencies propagate greater distances and are additive. So, signal excess can be low to non-existent for non-cavitating blades. At low speeds engine (and auxiliaries) noise is normally the greater giveaway. Diesel electric boats (submarines, I mean) can be the most challenging targets, for at least as long as they are submerged on batteries. I only know this because I watched Das Boot on TV the other day:)
Electric drive for low speed is not such a bad thing, especially when conducting passive sonar search. It would make them kind of stealthy, from an acoustic point of view. Antisubmarine Warfare is, after all, an important mission area for Destroyers.
I suggest the actual Ubuntu (from Canonical actually) tri-segmented open circle with little ball thingies half embedded each mid-arc canted +15 degrees off-north axis. Why invent something new? Also concur with earlier recommendation (Jeremy Erwin) to use more proper reference to Ubuntu as a Debian based GNU/Linux distribution...
Yes, of course you can make this political. However, in doing so you straight away debase an otherwise worthy argument with emotion, stereotypes, half truths, and false assertions. Of course, you also invite back the same. So, here goes: over the past 30 years the liberal movement has lowered educational standards so that everyone's little snowflakes would not be subject to the stress of hard work as well as the trauma of bad grades for poor performance, while labor laws and practices are pricing dumbed-down and increasingly slothful American workers out of the market. See how this works?
I'd love to know whether the city followed the Privacy Act statute, http://www.usdoj.gov/opcl/privacyact1974.htm, and assuming they didn't (because this seems a flagrant violation waiting to happen), whether the District Attorney is on their butts. I just finished my annual Privacy Act Training where I work, and I seem to recall a whole bunch of slides about fines, etc. ---oops, read my own link, and found out that it only applies to feds, not states. That sucks.
Bingo! Wonderful insight! The popular press (and/.) is a wonderful pool for fishing interesting topics for further reading, attention, or contemplation. Anyone I know who has lived life for any length of time and has experienced real world events only to have later read of them finds that almost all contemporary press accounts are either incomplete, misleading, or overly simplistic. That's not to indict the press. It's human nature. In the military one learns never to trust first reports. Criminologists say that eye-witness accounts are notoriously unreliable. Casual attention results in vague awareness. C'est la vie.
I always thought an expert was somebody who used to 'spert, but can no longer, at least reliably, due perhaps to age or illness. It is sad when you think of it.
They also make double lock safes. I've used two types. One with outer and inner doors, each with their own dials; the other design with two dials on a single door, each dial with its combo. Using a double-combo safe, different company officer keep separate combos While possible, the chance of suffering two traitors is far less than the chance of having one. I'd give one set to the CIO and one to the COO.
I'll call your BS. Quote from article: "the loss is believed to have occurred between October 2008 and March 2009." Seems the time of uncertainly lies equally in both administrations, which you spin to the left. Partisanship indeed.
In many (but not limited to) developing countries, especially those with oligarchic societies and institutions, what we in the west may assume to be "bribery" may just be another name for "respect for local authority and traditions" in conformance with local laws and customs. The company that "respects local authority and traditions," may have a chance (license, permission, contract) to do business in that country. Those who don't may complain self-righteously, but from a distance, please. Is there an ethical reward or societal good in just not doing business in that country, all other factors being equal, while your less self-righteous competitor does? This question is worth five extra credit points...
Don't be alarmed. That was a DHS minder who modded you down.

MS will simply provide a message box triggered by every ODF save which will warn that the file format selected may not save correctly. With no more information than this, most will just revert to DOCX, or some "safe" MS format, and that will be the end of it. Of course, MS will reap the advantage of offering the capability of opening ODF files, which will mostly be converted back to the "preferred" DOCX format at the first coerced save. La.
More to the point, the "law of unintended consequences" suggests that legislation should be as absolutely simple and focused to aim as possible, infrequent so as to only address matters demanding (rather than suggesting) some direct action to avoid a high probability consequence of significant impact to the public at large, and never just to make any group feel better about themselves. Social engineering (not the IA variety) should never be an impetus for a law unless it is an absolutely critical and well thought through minimalist adjustment to the penal code, and then only with considerable public debate over a cooling-off period from its motivating condition or event. The more laws on the books, the more stupid laws we will all be burdened with.
