The input from the user has to be decrypted on their server, but all relevant queries and data facebook acquires is most likely unencrypted as it passes their local network, and finally encrypted only on the final delivery from their servers.
So it's actually easier and less intensive than stated.
I have google voice. Google voice integrates into the android phone so well, I don't need a text plan. You have the option of having a dialog ask you if you want to use your google voice when making a call or sending a text. In my case, I opted to have it always select google voice and never ask me.
AFAIK, you only have to initially make the request to blizzard's server for authentication. After that, it will attempt to find the fastest route to your computers, and the fastest route would be through your local pipes.
There's a major flaw in reducing or stopping hurricanes: hurricanes are a major source of water in the southeast. The last few seasons have been quiet, and due to this the drought levels in the southeast are critical (especially in SC).
If he were using this as a leg up to the Gov. position, then he's really barking up the wrong tree. Attempting to sanction (or shutdown) a free service in SC during an economic crunch would be stupid.
It looks like the whole point of this device is to make it so the parents don't have to...be parents and help their children study...
In that case, having to unlock the kid to use the bathroom seems counter-productive, unless it comes with a catheter (valued at $19.99), absolutely free!
In all seriousness, this generation of parents that would actually consider buying such a device have worked very hard at removing themselves from an active parenting role. Parents of the new age are TV, video games, and ritalin.
Sounds like an a shiny opengl xbox that will most likely cost more...that will cost money every time they update the firmware.
They can't get a very good game support on their PCs, and they intend to get support from developers on this? Highly unlikely...
What about when the parent doesn't know that much about hands on stuff. I'm a software engineer and I don't really know that much about building machines/circuits/etc, however it would be something interesting to learn.
What avenue would be best for a parent and their child to both learn hands on activities simultaneously? My father was a maintenance planner, and as such knew a lot about making things, but I never got around to making stuff with him.
Similar to xbox's system, an arbitrary system of achievement will keep players playing more for attaining arbitrary goals even beyond the point where they find the game boring and tedious.
As the baseline of top tiered items becomes easier, the top-tiered players will simply change what they consider to be the elite. As long as Blizzard maintains the ideology of making things time consuming to attain, regardless of the difficulty of achievement, the "hardcore" players will ultimately continue to attain it and complain about it later.
You don't have to know the most intimate details when code and libraries already exists to perform desired functions. I agree it is important to know the principles behind the technology or software you are using, but to know the inner workings when you can just grab a function from a library just isn't practical.
We need not re-invent the wheel. This is the whole point of OOP and IDEs like.NET.
IMO, this is exactly what the super-delegates *should* be used for, to counter the influence from the republican strategists. I was always under the impression that the super-delegates were in place for the good of the party. Supporting a easily beaten candidate in Nov is clearly not in the best interest of the democratic party, so what is the purpose of the super-delegates anymore?
I don't understand why people think programming skill is some sort of "gift". Let's call it what it is: a skill, and an acquired one that that.
If I were a project manager looking for programmers, I would look for some that have steadily increased in their skill sets, from simple projects to gradually more complex systems. No one is an expert at their job as soon as they are out of the box. If they are willing to learn, willing to admit mistakes, and willing to learn from their mistakes is what makes good programmers. 9 times out of 10, genius programmers probably aren't interested in projects that require a load of work. You need people willing to trudge through, be attentive to details, and are able to think ahead of their own project.
In my own shop, I've seen what I thought were terrible programmers really start to shine once they got pushed neck deep into the work.
I think that's being a little over dramatic. Duke Nukem Forever has been delayed for years, SSB:B is barely at 3 months. I think we can stop panicking now.
I graduated a couple of years ago with a CE degree. We were initially started on Java. One of the best courses that really taught me the concepts was a course in which we basically rewrote all of the data-structures that Java provides. Manually creating linked-lists (pointers), arrays, stacks, queues, etc.
I think the real problem isn't the language, but the lack of conceptual teaching. However, I do agree that exposure to different languages is a good foundation.
The parents? Do these parents let their kids watch 'R' rated movies, and yet have the audacity to complain when their kids start punching kittens?
Too bad the media enjoys pinning child social problems on anything but the parents...
I'm surprised no one has made reference to Val Kilmer yet.
"Needless to say, I was a little despondent about the meltdown. But then, in the midst of my preparation for hari-kari, it came to me: it is possible to synthesize excited bromide in an argon matrix. Yes, its an exomer, frozen in its excited state."
I can see it as possibly a side-computer (internet browsing), but people will never buy a computer for main use that only has 1gb of "hard-drive" space that can only run a custom OS that has no mainstream software available.
That's my take on it.

Make the platform stable by hamstringing it's functionality!...and failing at that. I've seen Safari CTD many times.

Did you really name your kid "Robert'); DROP TABLE Students; --"?
However, all Wikipedia articles that aren't flagged as "needs sources" have a multitude of sources cited at the bottom of the article.
