Have you seen a PS3 console? there's no way in Hell a 12 year old girl could pick that thing up. But it is a lethal weapon in the hands of those who can wield it.
As benjaminperdomo said the Windows way isn't the onyl way and in fact I've done it the Unix way, got the T-Shirt came back to Windows and decided I liekd the Windows way better. Maybe in a few years I'll check out the Unix way again but until then I'll stick to AD.
And if you're an enterprise user with 1000's of computers and 1000's of users all needign to share data and collaborate? Well then there's Active Directory. God knows I'm not a Microsoft apologeist but I haven't seen anything that even comes close to the power and ease of use there is in Windows Server and Active Directory.
Okay so it isn't perfect, but it is the 1st generation technology. I still say that 2009 will be looked back upon as the year the designer baby industry started.
That sounds kind of cool. You could fold up a large non rigid blimp onto the roof of the camper and have several tanks of helium to inflate it to take off. Granted the Helium would neet to be at some rediculous pressure but I think it could work.
In Canada we were driving along the highway near the US border and my sisters phone connected to an American Tower. It's a pretty new Motorola so I have to assume that many cell phones sill do just pick the strongest signal.
Wouldn't work, there's no atmosphere in space so bombs dont make explosions like they do in an atmosphere. It's jsut a big pulse of electricity, certainly anything near it would be vapourized but they would have to be REAL close otherwise they would just heat up and melt a bit. On top of that there would be a nice big EMP which would make any country beneath the bomb very upset.
Guess they can't use the ground wiring for some reason?
Nope, because it's ground and is therefore tied to either your household plumbing or a large copper stake driven into the ground. You can't pick any signal off of it because of course anything attempting to transmit on it will simply be swallowed up.
That it also sticks doggedly to a first-person view so you can't see much while in cover isn't a significant innovation, if you ask me.
Sure it is, I've never seen it done anywhere before and I rather like the sound of it. When you hid behind a wall, rock w/e because some asshold with a gun twice your size is trying fill your body with large metal slugs you can't see the entire battlefield, you see what's in front of your eyes.
That's about it, hell I did this to my own laptop a few months ago. I took a shitty photo of my face with my shitty cameraphone and held the image up too the camera and it accepted it. The first thing I did after that was disable the facial recognition.
Because the government doesn't like to get rid of things. They archive old records and mothball old equipment but almost never actually destroy anything.
Because light of just about any sort and whole swaths of the rest of the EM spectrum don't travel very far under water, and even if it did the hulls of the submarines are going to only be marginally higher temperature then the surrounding ocean.
I have a good thinking strategy that I go through before I open my mouth and say things like this. It basically figure that if I managed to think of this in only a few minutes there's probably a good chance that the many thousands of engineers from around the world over the past 30 years who are far more knowledgeable about this then me have also probably thought of it and have a good reason for not using it.
Well that's an issue with the highway planning committees and such in the area and not to do with the actual means of toll collection. Its a toll road either way you go.
Seriously! You people down in the states still use toll booths? How deliciously quaint. Here in Ontario we've been using automated systems for a long time on the ETR with no problems well at least none with the actual mechanics of the system. The company that runs it are a bunch of jackasses and the government should be shot for selling it to that company in the first place but there you go.
I thought it could flip a bit too 1 at will without having to rewrite the whole block but if you want to write a 0 it needs to read the whole block, wipe it out and rewrite it with the same data but with the bit flipped to 0. But I wouldn't really know, I'll use SSDs when they cost about the same as hard drives.
No kidding eh! The occasional/. psychopaths sometime worry me. I know most of them in reality wouldn't even stand up and complain at a McDonalds about getting the wrong drink, but I wonder if maybe some of them really are THAT batshit crazy and would actually go shoot up the Apple HQ because they can't jailbreak their iPhone.
Nope, now they use lenses that are circularly polerized. One CW the othe CCW. Doesn't make any fucking sense to me but I dont have to know how it works, I just have to vomit and make the cleanign staff weep.
Probably not preventable, the Russian one was inactive so they couldn't communicate with it and I don't know if the Iridium one has any maneuvering capabilities. Furthermore there's only so far in advance you can predict collisions before the random fluctuations become to great. Iridium knew the risk when they put the satellite up their and they have redundancy in their system
Unfortunately getting to L4 or L5 is a bit of a bitch. NASA is having problems getting people back to the the moon, L4 and L5 are several times further.
What the hell sort of crasy ass electricians do you have around that they managed to short a live ethernet cable with a live power line? I would be firing the electrician, his coworkers and the the next 2 levels of supervisors and management above him just so I could make sure that there was no way in hell any of his stupidity could remain in the company.

In this case it inst a Public/Private key encryption (at least AFAIK) it's the simple case of 1 key that I have and you don't.

No but you can produce a few dozen embryos and pick the one you like. So yes as long as you can screen for it, you can get it.

Your tax dollars at work eh? Paying for NASAs servers to withstand a Slashdotting of an excessively large movie.

You can have a repeater every 3 inches. Simple

Whoops! Completely forgot about those ones.
