Because if you have to spend more than an hour on this kind of project nowadays, you're wasting your time.
The inexpensive Google appliacances don't have very fine-grained access control, though. But I am involved in several semi-failed projects of this nature in my organization, but new and legacy, and my Google Desktop outperforms all of them.
Well, (assuming he's American) it's silly to the extent that the US, rightly or wrongly, has killed more innocent bystanders in Iraq than the Burmese regime has killed monks in Burma, and I don't see him wanting to move to France or anything.
Plus there's no direct evidence that China is supporting the crackdown, and more evidence that they, in fact, are not happy about it.
Not too many regimes that don't have blood on their hands. Just don't buy a laptop, period. It's probably the kindest thing you can for our plundered old planet.
If it has 50 cm resolution at 7.5 km it will have 5000 cm resolution at 750 km, a more reasonable satellite altitude. Not terribly high resolution. So, it's either for wide-angle, low altitude special applications (the haze of the atmosphere is going to limit you to seeing something less than horizon to horizon, and objects close to the horizon are quite a bit further away than those right under you), or "next year's model" will be much improved.
You could put one on one of them heliostat things, for example, or a solar blimp cruising around at 7.5 km. I for one, blah blah, bug eyed overlords, etc, in their solar powered blimps, et. al.
I despise the term "elitist" since most people use it support their "Citizen Media" type arguments, where every dumbass's point of view holds equal weight, but, yes, if your academic paper can't be understood by your average professional journalist, high school science teacher, or reasonably coherent/.er then you're not doing it right.
Or, in other words, how would you approach your subject for a Scientific American article? If only 10% of academic papers were as well written as those.
I'm not sure what that has to do with journalism. Your paper will most likely seem just as incorrect 10 years from now whether it's one of your professional peers or Geraldo Rivero interpreting it.
Everyone in the US over age 0 has to pay taxes, if their income warrants.
The gift tax rules don't apply - he's clearly being compensated for his skills. Strictly speaking, he increased the phone's value himself and then accepted compensation for it. Only his accountant knows for sure.
Well, if your app is hosted internally and goes down for 19 hours, management can beat the staff until morale and uptime improves.
With SAAS, no one is accountable, and the SAAS vendor is probably running the same bloated shiteware as you are internally. They can hire some feckless offshore firm to restart Tomcat every 15 minutes, instead of you doing it.
Most of these people whining are well-off - rich retirees moving out to their hobby farm in the middle of nowhere who expect service just like they had in town, or agribusiness - the first already sucking a tax off my phone bills to subsidize rural phone service, and the latter billions in government farm and ethanol subsidies.
Al rural wireless internet IS available. An old college acquaintance in Hamilton County Texas has been providing it for years, has been pretty successful, and hosts dozens of web sites of local businesses.
What makes you think "Google's Internet" is going to be any less ghetto-ized than the Big Evil (TM) Telcos'?
You can buy a wireless router right now and put in on your roof and give all your neighbors free Wifi. Realistically, there is little chance of your ISP finding out, if it happens that it's a violation of your TOS.
But Google is a for profit company, so the minute you start getting checks, free access, or some other kind of compensation the "authorities" from the IRS on down to your local dogcatcher will be all over you like a cheap suit. More than likely, at least in the US, it's not worth the trouble.
There are are more constraints to leasing rooftops than meets the eye. In most residential areas, Joe Blow can't lease his rooftop to a commercial entity without an insane amount of hoopla. Otherwise, all cell phone companies would have 100% coverage everywhere - and it's taken them years just to get to the 90-something percent coverage they have now.
In my neighborhood, the Metricom wireless network of yore (fairly cheap flat-rate 50 - 100k service, ubiquitous in the SF Bay Area in the 90s) was not available in my town, because the NIMBYs wouldn't allow it. Lot's of other towns with the same bad attitude as mine.
"Are you radio transmissions going to give my babies cancer?"
"I dunno - now, how many packs a day do they smoke?"
What space nerd would refuse to participate in an "F-XI LDM" crew at the "FMARS" station?
Being cooped up as part of a large crew for an extended period seems important enough to not deserve your ridicule. The ISS crew is only three people. At least we have some data from the ISS about long term effects of (zero) gravity, (zero) atmosphere, and (plenty of) radiation, with Mars being somewhere between space and Earth in those respects.
Mod parent up blah blah. EITHER format is evil. Unless you can show me an aggregator that can interpret either OOXML or ODF. That would be kewl.
We just paid a lot of money for a bloated shiteware CMS that can sort of do this with DOC files. Even it will convert the DOC file to PDF on the fly for those of us too l33t to read DOC files.
There are many apps that behave this way, FTP is one - using a "control" channel to send a list of ports to the originator of the connection. Of course FTP has pretty much universally adopted PASV to work around this,
But the list goes on - Veritas Netbackup, Remedy, all of them bloated shiteware of course but nonetheless widely used.

It's still faster to pack my steam-powered ornithopter full of tapes, sonny boy.

According to our web stats, 2.64% of our visitors this month are using Vista!
Down from 3.38% last month!
OMFG Microsoft is in trouble! Declining market share!

"A myriad" can refer to a very small myriad. As in,
"All this expensive crap has a myriad of uses compared to good old fashioned police work."
Put it in a sealed envelope and ...oh f***, nevermind.
How come I don't have any "Please! Stop!" mod points?
Don't worry, they're Supermicro, they wouldn't be stable if you cooled them in a swimming pool of liquid nitrogen.
/.er has in their closet - just imagine a Beowulf cluster of those!
Still, meh indeed, scrape together the piles of computers your average
This was a joint venture between Google and Earthlink.

Walk it off, crybabies.

Rather alarming the number of young people I see on the subway with hearing aids, and the occasional coworkers who boast about how deaf they are.
No the intro clearly states that the thief has to have access to the remote control while is it in your pocket.
So next time you let a car thief put his hands into your pocket, make sure it's only for 50 minutes.
It is just me, or a lot of exploits like this. A Thief can gain access to ANYTHING in your house once they are INSIDE! OMFG!

I smell a quick hack for pharmaceutically treating what otherwise can be accomplished most of the time through expensive, labor-intensive therapy.
And remember ESOTSM was about two individuals who had their memory wiped for frivolous reasons. Hilarity and hijinks ensue!
