This must give pause to anyone who's ever spent time coding or debugging or even driving certain willful late model automobiles, and the US government evidently doesn't want to discuss it.
Do they speak English in What? I don't understand the joke or relevance. Can someone hit me with a clue?
I would put forward that it's within their rights, as they are charged with the safety of society, to use any tools necessary to investigate crime. The fact that the suspect has to engage the agent and interact with them means it's fair play. It's when they are not privy to it that judicial oversight is needed to ensure that it warrants investigation.
This is exactly why the warfare in the DR Congo is so important to the world. If anyone took a close look at it they'd realize that the modern world is raping that country by any means necessary in order to secure cobalt and other rare minerals. A lot of shady actions being taken by world governments and multi-nationals for control.
Yeah you make a good point - it would be extremely difficult if not impossible from a truly secure system such as the SCIFs used by government institutions to secure data. On top of all the policies regarding compartmentalization and data restrictions, you simply have no way to physically transfer data from the machine to a storage device. This has been thought of. These guys fought the Russians during the cold war. You're not going to get one over on them with a hollowed out coin and an SD card.
OP didn't mention if these maps have lat/long data in them. If so then you are good to go with using Google Earth and it's KML format to describe the map and it's inherit location on the globe using lat/long points of known locations or map end points.
If you do not have lat/long you may need to match up the map with an existing map using something like google earth and overlay it until it lines up properly. Then you can get the end points for the map and, again, use KML to describe where it should reside.
I'm not really loving the interface but the idea of using snippets needs to be expanded to include code others have written and tagged with meta data. I don't know how many times I've had to disturb others simply to ask "have you ever written code to do x?". It would be nice if I could search code snippets using meta data added by the developer or maybe from the code itself using reflection. Sure would be handy. Right now it's fairly clunky, search google, send emails, ask around. Then find that code and incorporate it using cut/paste.
My friend once bought an Alpine stereo from someone. When we looked closer at the box it was actually "Alphine" with an h. Okay so typical story. The funny part was the box. It had a picture of a Lamborghini on it. But the one they took a picture of was actually a toy. You could see this when you looked close. They didn't even bother to use a real Lamborghini picture! Even that was a fake! We couldn't stop laughing for at least an hour. The lengths some people will go to dupe people, if they spent that energy on creating something with actual worth..
I don't take advice from "programmers" that don't own a computer. If it's mathematics were talking about, big ideas, yes. For actual real world use, that's just plain crazy. If we all followed academia's approach we'd use a functional language and every application would be mathematically provable. Sure it may take a century to complete, but it will be "perfect".
Everyone always asks what's the point what's the point. Here's the point in a nut shell:
Don't develop applications for apple unless you want to sell out to a company that will fuck you over if they even get a whiff of competition, see a potential revenue stream in the same space, or simply don't like you. There will be no recourse if they fuck you. So if you want to make money with complete disregard for software freedom and the future of the industry as a whole then so be it. But don't pretend for a second there are no repercussions to such choices.
Apple will lose to others eventually unless they change their ways. Do you know why? Steve Ballmer knows. He did a 2 minute rant on it once. Something about developers..
Agreed. Systems will be isolated. When you combine systems you may get unexpected behavior but the lines of code number was a boogeyman used to show complexity. Not sure why the author didn't just say "the system is complex". Geeks like myself see that type of statement and discard everything because we see a possible error, hence all of their statements might be incorrect. In a technical crowd your statements will come back to haunt you, so one should shoot for accuracy. The author didn't see that.
Also to further add to your point - most of the systems that these cars are built on have been very throughly tested. So sure some low level system outside of their control might be to blame. But much more likely is it's their code that runs on these proven systems that is failing.
I think people are missing the point about the lines of code. Regardless of how many lines of code are in the system no one can claim that the system is "simple". When you combine all of the processed logic, in both software _and_ hardware, you have a complex system. This is the fact they want to highlight, they just do it with an abstract figure that is astronomical to a layman so they can draw readership, etc. It comes from misunderstanding. But the point is still true - the system is very complex and as we add more and more "fly by wire" controls to vehicles the more we'll see these issues. That can be mathematically proven and should be considered a fact.
Falling from the heavens like a rainbow star, the operating system appeared as a spirit of the people, willing itself into being to fight the evil west and spread true communist freedom to all people.
Yes I would agree with that. I was just trying to point out the costs associated with I/O bandwidth and wondering if anyone has worked out the cost of hosting a working desktop instance in the cloud, regardless of intended use. Requiring an OS to host the remote desktop application kind of moots the advantages of the cloud for personal use. For multi-user use though, this implementation may work quite well.

They can also meet you at a bar and pretend they want some coke. A fucking travesty of justice I tell you.

The article was about counterfeits. I posted an anecdote about counterfeits. Hence it's not off topic or trollish in anyway shape or form.
Nice try though. I guess we see who modded me a troll. Keep hiding behind AC big man.
Uhm, why was my post modded troll? Can someone point to where I trolled please?

Macs are dumbed down. So you gotta be smart to use them. Or something like that.

Do you know Steve Job's personal email address? Neither does this guy. So it's unverifiable correct?

From the karma FAQ:

And here is what to expect from an InfoWorld article - very little substance littered over at least 5 pages soaked with advertisements.
yeah but in fairness most developers don't get to choose feature sets. Those are chosen by "business people" that know it all.

Every time I see this I think Marisa Bot. Which is totally possible because she was a complete bitch.

Point taken. But it only takes one person to control a botnet.
Pretty stupid. They could "crowdsource" by simply challenging slashdot to a duel. We'll turn your servers into smoking rubble facespace BRING IT!
