I was out there a few times. I loved where BeOS had their headquarters. There was a little complex of houses just across the street so that you could walk down a tree lined street and cross one street to the office. Of course those homes, though only 2 bedroom, probably cost a million or so back in the 90s. Guess you can't have everything.
I'm already there and I make far less than 6 figures. Of course the trash is building up and there's a big pile of stinky clothes in the bed room and the sink is kind of full, but at least I've got plenty of free time.
Doesn't matter what history shows. The best procedure is to give the company notice of the bug and give them a chance to fix it. Not years, certainly but a few months seems very reasonable. The only reason not to do would be if you knew someone was already taking advantage of the vulnerability in the wild.
So it's the beer you drink to get the buzz. Not the beer you drink because you want to enjoy the taste. That makes sense as I've never known anyone to have just one Bud. It's always three or more.
Agreed. You can do your best to stay healthy and end up getting in an accident through no fault of your own which can add up to tens of thousands in hospital expenses depending on how serious the accident. Or you can be like me and get a kidney stone and end up spending a few thousand getting it taken care (all paid for by my insurance.)
No matter how young and healthy you are you can end up needing that insurance. Also as you get older the chances that you need will increase so those high deductables will look even less inviting as you get married and head into your 30s/40s/50s.
Sounds good until you get something like this going on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axDpsLPhYSg
I have no problem with a wolf spider but have tens of them might be an issue.
I wonder if that chalk theory works with these ants? I saw something the other day that said simply drawing a line of chalk across the area where ants comes in will stop them from coming that way. The ants apparently don't like the chalk for some reason and won't cross it.
I agree with that. The problem is that if the yellow light timing is too short it may never be safe to stop at the yellow. That's why what they are doing is potentially dangerous. Sure it can increase their revenues, but it may also cause more accidents and possibly a few lives. A bad idea no matter how you look at it.
Let's be honest about this. Nixon was behind the Watergate break-in, which was a crime. So he ultimately deserved what he got. If he hadn't done that he would have been considered a decent President.
Clinton made the mistake of playing the role of a lawyer and decided to play word games which resulted in him lying (in they eyes of most people) under oath. That's really the thing that he did which was truly wrong. The rest was just typical bad judgement by Clinton and political theater by the press and Congress.
With President Obama there's no sign that he was involved in making the decision to investigate Tea Party non-profit applications. He has the bad luck to be in charge when it happened, This seems to have been caused by the ruling of the Supreme Court that allowed more money to be given by corporations for the purposes of furthering their own beliefs (in this case by pushing policies that they supported.) (Corporations are people too.) The only coverup seems to have been at the local level as they didn't bother to pass the information up the chain of command once they put a stop to the practice of putting conservative groups at the head of their list of non-profits to investigate.
How many people would have heard of this game without the company having created this situation with a pre-cracked version being posted by the company? Given the game had no mention in the press that I saw I doubt the number is very high. Certainly many more have heard of the game and may purchase it due to this free press. I wouldn't be surprised if they got more buyers due to the cracked version they posted than they would have if they hadn't posted that version (ignoring any sales that came from the free press from threads like this.)
That isn't what they are looking for. What I believe they want to know is does this particular ad on this show at this time generate more orders than running the ad on another show at a different time. So they need to know when ads are running and how many orders come in after that ad (say for the next 30 minutes) or maybe they have different phone numbers for different ads.
I recall hearing about some company that focused on doing those cheap products sold in the TV ads. They had software that tracked all of that information so they could easily tell which ads during which time slots were leading to more ads in different markets. So they can focus their advertising budget on the ads/channels/time slots/markets that generate the most return.
Then I'm confused. As I understand it (and I could be wrong) federal law extended the copyright for basically forever to keep products like Mickey Mouse under copyright protection, but this says that you can be sued under state law because DMCA covers only those items protected by federal law. So it looks like they are having their cake and eating it too because federal law extended copyright for items that were copyrighted under state law but allows for anyone to be sued for copyright violation even if they are following DMCA rules if the items were covered under state copyright law. WTF?

I didn't get the same meaning as you did. My reading is that the mainframe and server farms are the same in that they centralize information. Giving the corporations access to and control of much of your personal data. That's something that we had begun to move away from with the rise of the personal computer but the move to the cloud is going back in the other direction.
I don't think that's going to stop because the cloud and server farms provide the user some great benefits but it's worthwhile to keep in mind just how much information corporations have on you. Especially with the bills underway to give the government easier access to all of that information when ever they want.
That's because he appears to have made two points in his words. One was that everyone is equal on the Internet. If you've got a well thought out idea then it doesn't matter if you are an orange wig wearing guy in a basement that tortures Barbie dolls for fun. The other part that he appeared to be saying is that while the orange wig wearing guy may have some good ideas eventually his craziness will show up so you have to be aware of that possibility when dealing with people on the Internet.
Presumably he already has an office since the company consists of more than just him. So they can either continue working in their existing offices (that will now be Yahoo offices) or they can work in Yahoo's London offices (I'm guessing they do have some.)
Either way everything I've seen says that they really bought the company to get this guy more than his app. Apparently they believe that he has good insight into where the social media is going and can help them develop new products that will help Yahoo improve their existing services.
That's not necessarily for crack-addled monkeys alone. If the algorithm does a good job then it allows someone to quickly scan through the summaries and decide what is worth reading and what isn't. That's what we all want out of the Slashdot summaries but often don't get.
Hmm, looking through that list I was struck by this:
47.0.0.0/8 Bell-Northern Research 1991-01 1989-01-06 Bell-Northern Research, now absorbed into Nortel.
Since Nortel is no more what happens with this address range? It should go back into the address range available for public use but has that happened?
I agree that you need to have a good reason to do such a thing. Imagine if you worked in IT at Enron back in the day and you came across solid evidence of the scheme that the corporate officials were running to both take advantage of California consumers and pump up their stock to unsustainable levels based on false information. Or if you were in a similar position in Bernie Madoff's corporation. While neither of those situations covered the loss of life as in the Manning situation, it's clear that the public would have benefited from knowing about Enron and Maddof's actions long before they become public.
Or you could put your Google Glasses in your shirt pocket with the camera portion hanging out of the pocket. No one is really likely to notice it so you can record away inside this establishment and put it up for everyone's enjoyment. (Though I can't imagine there's much that is enjoyable about watching random video from most establishments.)
They probably wouldn't hate electric cars if one was made that had the same sort of noise and feel of one of their normal supercars. Say there was a Tesla model that had the sound and feel (vibration from the engine) of a McClaren F1. I think even Clarkson could get behind a car like that, but not one that is quiet when being driven around the Top Gear test track.
I'm not so sure the case is solid against the NYT. Looking over the logs I'm left wondering if everything is completely accurate. For instance Tesla complains about when the temp was turned down but looking at the logs I do see the temp being turned down about 10-12 degrees. It just happens about 10-20 miles later than the reporter wrote which could be as simple as him not noting the exact time/mileage when he turned down the temperature.
As for the the speed I agree it looks a bit suspicious but given some of the other issues that have occured with the software I wonder if the speed registered in the logs is the same speed that was shown on the speedometer.
It really comes down to what is holding back your games. Depending on the game it could be the CPU or it could be the GPU, or even both. I know that I'm seeing a nice boost moving from a 4670 to GT650 TI even though I'm still on a E5200 (OC'ed) CPU. But the games I'm playing tend to use the GPU more than the CPU. If I were playing a game like Civilization V I would have been better off upgrading the CPU and sticking with the 4670.
So take a look at the games you play and how they stress the CPU. If they are regularly hitting over 75% CPU usage then it may be worth upgrading.
