Did they ever stop to consider that not all teens are bad, and what if some young person is actually going to their store to buy something legitimately.
Yes, they did. If you RTFA, you'll find that the noise is simply annoying, not painful, not damaging, and that once you go into the store you can no longer hear the noise. Similar to classical music being played outside the store, those teens that actually wish to enter the store can, and don't find the noise to be a deterrent.
Seriously, this shopkeeper exhibits a view of people that would make me very hesitant to be a customer at his store.
I'm sure you'd prefer to frequent his store when it has teenage thugs at the front door harassing you, your wife, and your children. They also come into the store and steal things, which drives the prices up. But for you, I'm guessing that the higher prices are worth the social experience you'd be enjoying.
The first Monday after Thanksgiving has always been and will always be Deer Slaying Day. Hell, we have off for work and school, just so we can go slay some of those fierce creatures.
Gee, neither I, my wife, nor my children have that Monday (yesterday) off. Do I need to take up hunting to get that day off? I do like venison.
Walmart's credit card screen wasn't encrypted so I canceled out. Called customer service and not only did I get a real, well spoken, knowledgeable person in under a minute, but they pulled up exactly what I had tried to buy, took my card information, and got my unit shipped
Yeah, that knowledgable person just entered your card information in the same form that you wouldn't use...
What if the family is watching TV together? Which tag gets chosen?
How about the intersection of the shows that everyone likes? TiVo could be smart about these kind of things.
Most people lose the remote on a regular basis. How many will lose their RFID tags?
Since your personal RFID tag will be used to determine what time the alarm clock goes off, how done your toast is cooked, and whether you can unlock and drive a specific car, I would guess that it would be more comparable to losing your drivers license or passport. How many people lose those?
When you visit your Mother in law, you may not want the TiVo to suggest "Hot Babes IV"
The list could go on and on and with each device you need yet another RFID tag. How many of the damn things will we need in the future to go about our daily lives?
You will only need one RFID tag that identifies you, and is used for all devices and uses. It would really be quite convenient. You just hang it on a lanyard around your neck.
Oh, wait, does windows even have anything like that...?
You could make a separate username with only guest privileges and only use IE from there. I don't know if that would necessarily help with this particular exploit. If you are really that fearful that you will fall victim to some IE vulnerability, then just don't use IE.
I use different browsers for different things. Most of the time, at home, I use Firefox. But I also have and old version of Netscape, Opera 5.0 and 8.0, and IE 6 installed, so I can "test" web pages that I create on all of them. Also, some types of files, like.mht, can only be decoded by IE.
The issue with eclipses is that the brightness per area (which causes damage) of the still visible patches of the sun is the same as normal, whereas the overall brightness (which triggers protective reflexes, such as the blink reflex and the shrinking of pupil) is much less.
These won't be probably an issue with these mirrors unless they used convex mirrors...
That spending money on "constructing" something is giving a job to someone, and it's way better than giving the money to the same person that is suddently out of a job
Ahhh... so they are going to give the task of constructing giant mirrors to the unemployed.
Allowing those that earned the money to keep it would be good for the economy too, as they could spend it on whatever they want. If they want big mirrors, then fine, if they used it to help pay for a house that is a 10 minute walk away and in the light, then they could do that.
I wonder how much it would cost to remove the 910 meter hill, no wires or mirrors needed.
Ahem...I happen to be one of those nerds who does things in IT besides writing code. I'm also a newly-minted PMP. Also, by coincidence, I've been reading Berkun's book this morning. I'd say that it is probably one of the best IT-related PM books that I've read (and I've read quite a few).
I think we need to have a discussion on the true meaning of "nerd". If you ask me, once you get into management, you no longer qualify.
There's nothing wrong with a private institution asking that you agree to certain terms in order to attend school there.
I somewhat agree. However I believe that the school's terms may not ask you to give up constitutional rights. I think there is a "free speech" issue in this case.
It's a challenge to make passports secure, even with the best of technology.
My understanding of the Australian ePassport http://www.dfat.gov.au/dept/passports/ is that the "RFID" chip won't respond until you hit it with the public key which is printed on the passport and has to be scanned in, each ePassport having it's own public key, and a private key known only to the issuing government agency. This prevents tracking people by their passport "RFID" by unknown people. Then the "RFID" chip responds with things like a digital photo of the individual as well as other biometric data which can be verified electronically, so you can't use your cousin's passport. I would assume that the U.S. version would be something similar, since the technology for the Australian version is from a U.S. company.
They are too easy to counterfeit; A stolen passport can be used by someone who looks similar; positive identification of the carrying individual takes too long. Australia has ePassports which have a chip with biometric data which can be used to identify whether the passport carrier is indeed the person to which the passport was issued. http://www.dfat.gov.au/dept/passports/
I understand that the system here is a bit different than regular RFID.
Australia has an ePassport with a chip that contains biometric data, but it can only be read after optically scanning the public key printed on the passport. http://www.dfat.gov.au/dept/passports/
And as already mentioned, in the upper right, they don't have the core of the big, obvious impact crater? Somehow I don't think so!
The pattern of missing rectangular chunks here and there does suggest that perhaps those areas have been intentionally removed from our view. So what are the theories as to why those areas have been deleted from the images? Do the little green men live there, or perhaps there is just evidence of alien civilization there?
Regardless, it's proven in the bible that a spherical earth is impossible,
Funny!
Let me preface what I'm going to say here by saying that I am an atheist, and I believe that the original texts of today's bible were the Wikipedia of their time, and that they were carefully edited over time to come to the version that has been translated into modern bibles.
Let me point out though, that today's Christian interpretation of these texts is that when the bible says that the earth has four corners or other such things, they are taken in the same way that if somebody today said they had traveled to the four corners of the earth, that is not in a literal sense. Also, the bible does have passages that refer to the "circle of the earth" ("ball of the earth" in some versions) in Isaiah 40:22. The bible also has text that says "He hangs the earth on nothing" in Job 26:7. So, Christians (or others that believe in the texts of the Old Testament) today can still reason that the bible supports scientific fact.
