Now, if you want to infringe the patent, you'd have to tell us the command you could issue to allow any program except say, GIMP, from accessing your data. This is 'program access', not 'user access'.
I did just that in a VMS System Service in 1986. Certain resources were secured against all non-privileged access. If the application required access to one of those resources, it called the System Service which granted or denied access to the resource depending upon what image was requesting the access.

The answer is obviously 'c' and that's exactly why I would never allow such a device onto my network.
And it was much harder to fly and land - so much so that it really "flies" more like a typical plane with its engine off.(read: like a brick).
Excuse me, but a typical airplane flies quite well with its engine off and is nothing like a brick. A commercial aircraft ran out of fuel in flight over Canada and flew 20+ miles to safely land at an abandoned airstrip.
A drastically lower weight, though, would also allow for a slightly slower speed. Likely closer to 2500-2800 F which would technically make the heat shielding a redundant safety feature, at least on the wings.(they would melt and distort, but wouldn't actually catch on fire.
If the wings melt and distort, they cease to be 'wings' and would render the shuttle uncontrollable.
sounds like a design flaw which was chosen to be ignored until now...
This is nothing new. Apollo/Saturn V had the same problem. It was ignored in that program. We are just lucky they never encountered an abort situation in Apollo/Saturn V, because the astronauts have stated that they never could have hit the abort switch during the time of maximum vibration. One of the astronauts was supposed to position their hand over the abort switch during launch. In at least one case, the astronaut moved his hand away from the switch so the vibration couldn't cause him to accidentially trigger an abort.
For reference, see the recent moon race series on PBS.
As well as needing a permit and having to accept warrentless searches to own quality glassware, it is also *illegal* to have a dildo in Texas.
This is no longer correct. The 5th Court of Appeals recently struck down the law when a conviction under it was appealed by an adult toy store in Houston. However, when the store's attorney requested that the Houston police return the several thousand seized items, they all seem to have disappeared from the Houston Police evidence store room.
At least part of this, the constant speed propeller [wikipedia.org] is in widespread use. Although, especially in a multi-engine config, I'd want one with the ability to feather the propeller in case of an engine out (to lower Vmc). I'd also want to make sure the one I used allowed me to dive-start an engine.
When the Porsche-engined Mooney was produced, a constant speed prop was not common in light singles, such as the Mooney M-2x, Piper Arrow, and Cessna 182.
I agree that in a multi-engine configuration the pilot needs to be able to feather the prop on a dead engine.
When your cars computer dies or a fuel injector clogs you pull over to the side of the road. In an airplane you can also pull over to the side of the road, unfortunately that road happens to be 5000' below you. Pilots don't WANT to fly in anything that hasn't been tested and proven again and again and again.
As a pilot who has made an emergency no-power landing, I will disagree with you. I want advances that decrease my workload, especially during critical phases of flight or during an emergency.
High performance piston powered aircraft have three engine controls; The throttle - controls engine rpm, the mixture control - controls the fuel/air ratio of fuel and air going into the engine, and the prop control - controls the pitch of the propellor which allows the pilot to optimize the propellor performance for rate of climb vs. aircraft speed. In addition, because these engines are air cooled, the pilot has to be careful not to allow the engine to cool too quickly or overheat, especially during takeoff and landing.
About 20 years ago, Porsche teamed up with aircraft maker Mooney to produce a Porsche engine powered aircraft that combined the throttle, mixture, and prop controls into one lever. It was amazingly simple: Push the lever in to go faster, pull it back to go slower. The engine took care of making sure the throttle was set to give the appropriate amount of power, the mixture was set to make sure the engine didn't cool too quickly or overheat, and the propellor pitch was adjusted for optimum power, speed, and noise. You'd think that pilots would love something like this that. I sure would. Nope. Many pilots wrote Letters-To-The-Editor of all the flying magazines complaining that the manufacturer was taking away their control of the aircraft. The Porsche aircraft engine was withdrawn from the market after a few years and very few aircraft sales.

While it might be a pretty modern front end to usenet it doesn't help the fact that the back end feed is slowly being strangled by spam, and now legislation.

Generally I find that a 3/4 rule for a 10+ character password works... Upper, Lower, Number, Non-AlphaNumeric. Suggest that users do short phrases like... "c is for cookie" even "c 1s 4 c00k13" works... this is generally pretty strong, far easier to remember, and less likely to be written down/stolen.
Point out the concept of the above to people, and they are far more likely to use a secure password, that they can live with... Using a common username-password system via LDAP/AD or another system also helps. Having to keep 8 passwords for various company systems with different rules, or inability to change your passwords only leads to having passwords printed out in clear text.
That's fine unless you work in a single-sign-on environment that includes a mainframe that can only take 8 character passwords at the max:-( And since many financial institutions meet that criteria...
Many years ago when I worked at DEC in the pre-single-sign-on days, I had admin rights on many servers, the security policy required passwords to be a minimum of 14 characters, and they couldn't be the same for multiple servers, so you can imagine that my passwords were all the same except for the last word in the multi-phrase password, or employed something like that to keep them rememberable.
I really think that's the only thing that's spurring them to drop fiber in select areas. They're doing it in the areas where they're losing all their business ("all" as in both the voice service and the infrastructure part) to cable triple-play deals. Their only recourse is to offer a similar service (including TV service), which their existing infrastructure can't handle.
In San Antonio, Texas, AT&T is running fiber to the premises in all new subdivisions.
The question now so much isn't can you get it but whether or not it's fast enough to satisfy your need for speed...
DSL, vs. cable, vs. FIOS.
Choice? What choice? I live in one of the 10 largest cities in the U.S. and I have no choice of broadband provider. It's Time/Warner or nothing. No DSL, no FIOS.
And of course, the price I pay and the lousy service I get, reflects that.
What I meant was, the swamp cooler doesn't seem to filter dust from the air as well as A/C. At work we have A/C and when I take machines apart they look brand new inside. At home when I take them apart they look like the inside of a cave from Indiana Jones.
I wish I had your work environment at home. I get plenty of dust out of mine with A/C. I wonder if your place of work has some sort of electronic dust zapper in the duct work.
I have fans fail all too often. Wild guess here, but perhaps it's because I live in a desert and my home has a "swamp cooler" rather than A/C.
No, your problem is you're trying to cool a non-existent swamp:-)
Given the low humidity I would expect your fans to be more effcient than if you lived in say, Houston. I've been in houses cooled by swamp coolers and couldn't tell the difference between that and A/C.
I've got a case with 5 fans plus the one in the power supply, I've been using for the past 7 years and haven't had a fan failure, but I do open up the case quarterly and clean all the gunk out of everything.
Wickard v. Filburn stretched it beyond measurement (or legitimacy). Ah yes, what many people refer to as the "wheat decision". It is decisions like this that help me to understand why at least one of the Founding Fathers gave the United States a life expectancy of only 25 years before bloodshed would be required to set things right again.
I was actually amazed when U.S. v. Lopez was decided in favor of the virgin Constitution.
Commerce clause means "to make commerce regular" among the States. In other words no trade wars, no tariffs, import taxes etc among/between the States. So when Massachussetts creates rules governing the airwaves that allow transmitters in Massachussetts to completely wipe out any and all transmissions in Rhode Island, and most of the rest of the States in New England, you are saying it wouldn't be a valid power of the Federal government under the Interstate Commerce Clause to remedy the situation?
If this is the case, how do you propose that the situation be remedied?
I am not advocating anarchy over the airwaves.... just that the federal government shouldn't be involved. Per the 10th Amendment the federal government isn't allowed to be involved in regulation of communications. It should be left to the States. Actually, I believe that regulating the use of the airwaves is one of the FEW vaild uses of the Interstate Commerce Clause, given that radio waves don't respect State boundaries.
Why did he build it in a Stage 1 evacuation zone? That is an avoidable problem. My guess is they didn't know the location was in the Stage 1 evacuation zone.
But before you get all bent. Bent? I was simply responding to your previous comment:
They don't have issues with flooding that I know about... to indicate that parts of Tampa Bay do have flooding issues. That's all.
They don't have issues with flooding that I know about... Tell that to one of my former employers who discovered their only production facility was in a Stage 1 evacuation zone when they were given 24 hours notice to evacuate. They produced life-critical items. Oops. The last I heard they set up a second production facility in a more secure part of the country.
*shrug*, I'd rather have the landline and keep my minute plan low than just have the cell phone if I can do the former for the same cost or cheaper. Of course. In our case, we couldn't. When we canceled our landline several years ago, it was ~$55/month and climbing because, as the representative told us, "You won't take any of our bundled packages." It didn't matter that it was impossible for us to take any of their bundles because they all included DSL and we were too far from the CO to get DSL. You can buy a lot of cell phone minutes for $55/month and that was WITHOUT any long distance plan.
Just wanted to say thanks for these articles. Now every single one of our paranoid customers is going to call us up and demand an inspection of their line. No problem. Since you no longer own the wires on the house side of the network interface, you can charge them an arm and a leg for the service. For the really clueless, you can offer it as an on-going service and charge them an outrageous monthly fee just like you do with your {snicker}, "wiring protection plan".

Quite simple: Because there was a penis involved.
