I suspect that NASA would not even have the budget it has today, or has been granted historically, if it were not for the possibility that we could use NASA technology to kill each other.
I don't think that there would have been so many prominent German rocket engineers in the 1940s if rockets were not such good weapons
Perhaps aliens developed spacecraft because killing each other was even more important in their society
I did not expect the bank to develop a new form of security so much as implement an established system reasonably well. It is not as if methods for authentication, non-repudiation, encryption and key exchange need to be re-invented every time a new application shows up for them.
yeah you do
The boat trailer was quite large. Large enough to absorb a bump from a tail-gating car.
To be fair to semi drivers, although filling the road with large trucks is anti-social, the drivers themselves seem mostly to be professional and much better than your average moron. It's not likely to be a large truck that's tailgating.
I should add that I did not actually own the trailer I was towing.
When I towed boat trailers I never had much luck "pulling it out straight" by speeding up during a fishtail.
I always found it better to slow down by easing off the gas. The fishtailing always seemed to me to be caused by the aerodynamics of the trailer, slowing down stopped it flapping like a flag.
the second warning that the warranty is about to expire. Even after dozens of calls to the same cell #. Can someone not increment a counter properly. These guys do math like excel.
delaying the program, take advantage of Moore's Law.
Then I's spend $100MM on having someone develop better servers that don;t need so much infrastructure (cooling, power, space).
Only then would I start looking for a building.
should be issued to each crew by the British. That way they will cease to be Pirates and become far more respectable privateers and will only attack French or Spanish boats.
That sir, is the point of the National Hammer Association. To defend Hammers from being banned because of the nail-driving exploits of a "tiny minority" who use their rifles inappropriately as striking tools.
Sure,
But what if you don't need all the cool features ?
And what if you want several of them (multiple locations, redundancy etc) ? High-end boxes hunt in packs.
The $50k a pop adds up quickly and I quite like the idea of factoring out each feature into a separate cheap box.
The argument is also cited that building something in house means that there is only one person who understands it. That may be true, but I've seen bought-in systems deployed where no-one in house understands fully what it does or how it works and expensive support contracts that have not been that great a help.
One way or another, my experience has been that the onus to truly understand the system falls onto me, not the vendor. And in that regard I've found many OSS packages to be much easier to assimilate than systems shrouded in marketing buzzwords and secrecy about their inner workings and deliberately obfuscated/not supported interfaces.
alchohol; and I do not drink enough to make a difference, so I stood back and watched.
Then they came for Tobacco; and I do not smoke, so I did not speak out.
Now they've come for video games; and I don't play them...
I see a pattern emerging here. Who cares if they tax video games. Thanks for the extra revenue that does not have to come out of my paycheck.

was getting this result without Diebold's help. That's old-school.
Wow, SCO and 666 in the same post - who'da thought?..
will return to profitability and be able to support more R&D because of this.
I wish I could mod you up for that - I just can't think of a worse fate.

Besides, what respectable electronic voting system for Oahu (population 900,000) would not register at least 1,200,000 votes ?

For implementing such a flawed banking transaction protocol.
Don't bother replying, I know the answer is no-one.

yes, some kind of audio CAPTCHA voiced by inspector Clueso.

unless the film was sped up (unlikely given the sound I suppose), I was not expecting the W bulbs to be as quick to light and extinguish.
I wonder if they did pee or bleed on the breath-machine to test it.
So you feed the ground cow back to cows. Didn't the brits have a problem with that ?
I'm not sure that the inside of an REI store is considered a public space in this context.
Indeed. I am able to line up my ~300THz link by eye. It prevents my garage door crushing people.

I wind up in trouble. I hope the NSA does too
