What do you mean their language? Oracle hasn't created most of what they IP troll these days. They are, essentially, a clearing house for other peoples' ideas. It strikes me as ironic that they are complaining about someone using Java without 'owning' it.
It would be like if I bought a patent for BASIC and then shouted "Hey! Make your own language!" at anyone who tried to use it - including those already shipping products based on the language, which was previously treated as free and open by the previous copyright holder..
Google had Java rights long before O-corp bought Sun. Oracle needs to fuck right off.
The quickest way to ruin this stuff is to over-dilute it with water. Then it acts like....water...with some powder dissolved in it. Not great, or non-newtonian at all.
That's like saying "we should have a phone that we call to turn on the phone we want to call". If they're going to require solid contact with the patient, they might as well use some sort of contact-based communication, like ultrasound or small currents or whatnot. What if you have a jumper sticking out of your arm, and when you short it, the RF control mode is activated? (I'm only half joking)
To be clear here, the wireless in use has nothing to do with WiFi aside from being radio communication. You cannot control/hack/disable these things with a wireless router - they require very specialized equipment to produce the correct radio signal.
My parents lost ~$2.5 million in a ponzi scheme. They caught up with the guys who perpetrated it, and all of the clients were automatically added to a class-action suit against them preventing my parents from pursuing their own legal action. The class-action lawyers actually threatened to inhibit an individual case if my parents opted out.
Eventually, they won, and they recovered several tens of millions from these people to cover the ~$72 million he bilked the customers for. A percentage of investment that would be returned was decided on and it worked out to be about $800,000 for my parents. Well, because it was a class-action suit, the lawyers took nigh to 80% of that money. My parents were awarded about $35,000, and the lawyer kept the other $765,000 as their 'fee'.
Consider they did this to all of the plaintiffs. They ended up with OVER 80% of the people's money who were screwed out of their life savings, and ruined by these people. Several 80-year-old ladies who had their entire $60,000 retirement fund stolen, who were only returned $250 and subsequently went bankrupt and lost their health insurance. I haven't followed up, but I would be surprised if at least one of them hasn't experienced medical trouble or death as a result of this 'fee' keeping them from their just returns.
The lawyers did the same thing as the original criminals to these people. Who are the REAL criminals here?
I would wager, given how little one hand knows what the other is doing in the US Government, that there are spies in the universities - and that they are probably CIA/other domestic agencies' agents.
Alias, Covert Affairs and several other TV shows have multiple in-school academics working for the CIA. Though I can't pick out any titles, I have read at least three books where the spy was a student or professor at a university.
Clearly this isn't anything new in spy lore, and I would wager there are far less spies in schools now than during the height of the cold war.
Am I the only person who had to look up what a 'backhaul' was? In >15 years of working with IT I have never heard this term.
As I am reading about it, it looks like this applies to phone networks almost exclusively. It seems to be the same thing as a 'backbone' when discussing a network.
I suppose as we get closer and closer to phones=internet=telecommunications=data becoming true it becomes hard to distinguish.
It should be no surprise to anybody at this point that Apple has found the most efficient way to screw their customers out of the most money possible for the same thing you get from everyone else.
As far as I'm concerned, Apple not being evil ended with the introduction of the Intel Mac. They went all dictator-over-everything after that, from hardware to support plans to software to development process. Completely awful bullshit methods, just to keep it all under their thumb and guarantee all possible profits flow into their wallet and not the devs or consumers.
Is it really worth paying almost twice as much for everything for that?
If you're talking about a text-based MMO around the 14.4 era, I played a couple on AOL around that time. They might well have been the same games on comparable services. I was particular to a caribbean island spy game from Simutronics called Modus Operandi.
They also had GemStone IV and DragonRealms on there as I recall, which were much closer to D&D.
250GB/month is a pretty fair cap amount. That's >8GB/day, which is about as much as I could imagine downloading on a regular basis. I think if all of the providers with 'unlimited' services had limits of that quantity, nobody would be complaining about their BS.
You can now, actually. One of the first things Obama did was relax the travel embargo rules to allow exactly this.
You can go there without a license if you are:
Persons visiting a close relative (any individual related to a person by blood, marriage, or adoption who is no more than three generations removed from that person or from a common ancestor with that person) who is a national of Cuba, and persons traveling with them who share a common dwelling as a family with them. There is no limit on the duration or frequency of such travel. (According to the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, third country nationals who reside in Cuba are considered Cuban nationals.)
Journalists and supporting broadcasting or technical personnel (regularly employed in that capacity by a news reporting organization and traveling for journalistic activities).
Official government travelers on official business.
Members of international organizations of which the United States is also a member (traveling on official business).
Full-time professionals, whose travel transactions are directly related to research in their professional areas, provided that their research: 1) is of a noncommercial, academic nature 2) comprises a full work schedule in Cuba 3) has a substantial likelihood of public dissemination.
Full-time professionals whose travel transactions are directly related to attendance at professional meetings or conferences in Cuba that are organized by an international professional organization, institution, or association that regularly sponsors such meetings or conferences in other countries. An organization, institution, or association headquartered in the United States may not sponsor such a meeting or conference unless it has been specifically licensed to sponsor it. The purpose of the meeting or conference cannot be the promotion of tourism in Cuba or other commercial activities involving Cuba, or to foster production of any bio-technological products.
Employees of a U.S. telecommunications services provider or an entity duly appointed to represent such a provider traveling incident to: 1) the commercial marketing, sales negotiation, accompanied delivery, or servicing of authorized telecommunications-related items; or 2) participation in telecommunications-related professional meetings for the commercial marketing of, sales negotiation for, or performance under contracts for the provision of telecommunications services, or the establishment of facilities to provide telecommunications services.
Individuals regularly employed by a producer or distributer of agricultural commodities, medicine, or medical devices or an entity duly appointed to represent such a producer or distributer traveling incident to the commercial marketing, sales negotiation, accompanied deliver, or servicing in Cuba of such items.
For every other reason/visitor you need to get permission from the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Asset Control.
People really need to realize that there is more than air travel to get from country to country, especially in densely-packed multi-country areas like central Europe.
If you don't want to deal with DHS and the TSA, take a boat. Take a train. Drive. Just better hope the destination country lets you in!
It is a 'No-Fly' list to prevent certain people from being in close proximity to an airplane(which is apparently now the deadliest weapon ever). It is not a list to prevent emigration.
I've never lost anything thanks to this great system.
The real question is have you ever actually needed it?
I can say "I never drove my car into a volcano thanks to my awesome GPS!" but if I was never in danger of driving my car into lava, it would be a pretty pointless statement.
I don't entirely understand WHY it is as such, but it is ~$100/month for a prepaid Phone/3G contract with Verizon, which includes UNLIMITED data. And yes, it's still truly unlimited - no GB restriction listed.
And yet, I have to pay the $60 + $50/month for a regular phone contract with only 5GB of data, and that doesn't even include text messages($10), voice mail($3), phone insurance($5) or anything else they manage to charge me more for.
Basically, saying one is a 'moderate Republican' is saying "I don't agree with much of what my party proposes, but I'm too much of a pussy to oppose them, and I'm too good to be a stinkin' liberal."
The day I don't get a massive headache from modern politics is the day every religion-based candidate, and every politician that doesn't observe common sense and decency is 6 feet under. So basically, not in my lifetime.
You can use various methods to TX/RX raw serial data between linux programs and the uController hardware. Whether that's an entire Arduino board or a MAX232 serial converter soldered to a USB cable, it sends the same data. Hell, drive your robotics servos with the parallel port. There are a hundred different ways to rig it up.
Plus with the introduction of things like the RaspberryPI and other micro system-on-a-chip computers it's increasingly easy to create a LAMP stack for circuit-sized applications.

Use cheaper tires?
I would love to see what happens when it rains.

The Borg, Skynet, The Matrix...sure, let's connect a bunch of machines in our bodies wirelessly and hope they don't kill us.
That's like saying "we should have a phone that we call to turn on the phone we want to call".

Still, not great, but nothing new by a long shot.

I live in an apartment, thank you very much.
I don't even have a basement. Just don't tell the tornadoes.

I never checked the box in the first place(thanks, AdBlock Plus!) but I may just have to now.
TFA? Is that what they call the TSA in Canada?
you can't fly to cuba from the US directly anyway
You can now, actually. One of the first things Obama did was relax the travel embargo rules to allow exactly this.

Good luck monitoring all traffic on Tencent's networks.
As of almost three years ago, they showed upwards of 990 million registered users, with a peak concurrency of 6.13 million. Somehow I think that number will have risen since, not fallen.
I don't entirely understand WHY it is as such, but it is ~$100/month for a prepaid Phone/3G contract with Verizon, which includes UNLIMITED data. And yes, it's still truly unlimited - no GB restriction listed.

Seems like there's plenty of sources, and it looks like they're updating it with more as they roll in.
