By using an open API, there's absolutely no reason for you to develop/expend resources for encryption other then SSL/SSH. That means the quality of the encryption used by the client is now the problem and once a client becomes large enough to be annoying, the NSA swoops in and either shuts them down or compromises them.
Idea for a product that requires 20 million to begin production yet offers billions in potential profits. The only problem is, I don't have the 5 million to build the factory, the 15 million for payroll and other business expenses plus the 5 million for the marketing to reach the target market. No patent gets filed, I don't make any money and the idea doesn't ever reach anyone else.
So sorry mr poor but although you had a great idea that could have saves millions of lives, you didn't have the money to patent it. Because of this, I'm sorry but you don't qualify for heaven - Pulls lever and drops you straight to hell for eternity.
That's only true in Europe where they are a true secondary restraint system unlike in the United States where although classified as a secondary restraint, the specifications ensure that current airbags are actually a primary restraint system.
I'm a retired Commercial driver and let me tell you, I'd make more money with less hours flipping burgers then most companies out there are paying. Furhtermore, I'd actually be able to sleep in my own bed, see my kids and eat better food then when I drove truck. Being on the road, away from home for 6+ weeks at a time with dispatchers that think you can work 200 hours a week, drive 300 miles per hour, cops and politicians that think every truck driver on the road is a drug addict so they keep increasing the requirements for the license along with the costs. Yea it's nice making 12 grand a year with 14 grand in expensense being on the road all the time.
Very few companies are paying drivers enough to live on these days yet government regulations keep increasing while the local cops and politicians see truckers as another cash cow that can't complain because they can't vote in their jurisdiction.
As a retired commercial driver, this also covers satelite comn systems that large transportation companies use such as FedEx/UPS and many other couriers along with trucking companies such as Schnieder (big orange trucks) Werner, Jb Hunt and a whole bunch of others.
Then you've just managed to ban driving a Stick Shift of any type in Joisey including all of the Semi's that deliver food/supplies to the various stores. Now everyone can shop in NY or PA and not have to pay any sales tax as the goods are no longer available.
I've never considered dropbox to be secure after they screwed up and allowed anyone to log into any account a few years back. Now they include a public folder for sharing in dropbox so what's secure about that?
If you want to use dropbox and ensure things are secure, then encrypt it yourself. Otherwise, do not bitch if those private fotos of your wife end up shared on the net.
He's the deal. It's Connected to the Internet thus insecure.
Personally, I don't give a damn how secure the car is from a computer standpoint because if it is connected to the internet, then it is insecure. Just like all the water systems and the electrical grid in the United States. All of the Scada systems that were never designed to be connected and now are.
Well I'm not up to the level of the Library of Congress but with over 15.5Gib worth of ebooks, I think that's more then my poor Nexus 7 will handle. I've already got 10Gib used for various tv shows I've transfered/converted.
Just installed Calibre so I'll see how it works in regards to the number of files I have (380k+).
But for eBooks.... well the whole collection will fit in a tiny little corner anyway.
Then you sure don't have any kind of collection of ebooks to read.
My current collection of ebooks exceeds 15.5Gib and 375K files. Yes I'm bragging and having just installed Calibre, I'm going to see how well it deals with such a large collection.
I'm hoping that the tagging feature works as well as I need due to the sheer number of books I have.
I haven't looked at what band Globalstar has but I suspect they'll have a far easier time converting then what Lightsquared did for the simple fact that they're not interfearing with GPS signals as Lightsquared was doing.
Another thing is that they're not trying to convert all of their bandwidth to terrestrial, just 80 percent of it. Keep in mind that they already have a profitable business - think they own Dish/Direct-TV and offer a Satelite based Internet or rent the bandwidth to others for the same purpose.
The advantage is the reduced latencies and not having to replace satelites as they age or a CME (coronal mass ejection)/solar flare fries them.
MS does not need a god damn catchup artist. What they need is a CEO that can Lead the Company w/o wasting resources as Balmer has trying to kill Google and treating the end-users as thiefs as the Win7 installer does.
IMO the Win7 installer reached the needed balance between Paranoia and usefulness as you can use any Win7 install media and not have to worry about activiation until after critical updates are downloaded so long as you have a key that passes activation - as all OEM systems should.
In the case of Win8, what I feel MS needs to do is force the OEM's to provide a link on the desktop to grab a legal download of the Win8 installer from MS that can be kept up to date by simply grabing a new image. They're already offering a Digital Download that needs the Activiation key before it will download/install so why not force the OEM's (or do it themselves in the Windows Activation Screen) to provide a link to the installer that can be updated as needed? Ensures that people have an installer that's as current as the last time it was updated by MS (critical updates and service packs) since this reduces how many non-updated systems are out there. Yes there are idiots who wont update due many reasons (lack of a connection being a big issue) so an updated installer would be a god send for them.
I actually agree with the teachers that don't correct mistakes on papers. It's not worth the time for the little pay they actually get especially if the student is able to get their point across correctly.
Does it damage our langauge? No for the simple fact that Anglish (U.S. English) only has a mere 35 sounds and when any of the kids I work with use phonetic spelling, I accept it even though it takes a bit longer for me to parse things.
Why I do this is actually straight forward. By encouraging Phonetic Spelling, I don't have to worry that they've broken some assinine rule of spelling anylonger, making it easier for them to learn the language (I work with folks where English is not their first language - 2nd to 5th for some of them).
On the Deprecate lots of API's, MS really needs to do the same thing Apple did with OS X - include a nice VM that handles the NT/XP apps while completely killing compatibility in the core OS.
They've started on this path with the XP Mode in Win7 Pro for corporate use, so why in hell not simply take it to the next level and offer it to everyone with Win9?
Another element they'd better address is not allowing Intel to push anything like the god damn Vista Ready crap. Set the hardware specs to require 4GB or better memory, dual core or better CPU and forget about netbooks. Decent hardware is out there for pretty fucking cheap and if they'd simply stick with some mid/upper range specs, companies would know it'll cost em to upgrade but Acer/Dell/HP and all the other OEM's would be happy as it means increased hardware sales with better margins then the current race to the bottom. This is why OEM's are abandoning MS in droves right now. The OS is not pushing Hardware as much as it did a decade ago. Hell anything with a 2.4Ghz HT P4 is good enough to run Win7 yet that same chip makes one hell of an improvement over the 800 Mhz P3 requirement for XP.

there's an even smaller standard called nano-itx by VIA. Works well for some things and may even be just about perfect for this use.

ReadIris is far better then OmniPage at OCR as it supports multiple Languages plus can scan PDF's and create them.
The easiest way to classify "Throw Away" is to simply throw it. Does it go very far? If not, then it's a "set aside".
