I don't see how one small example from 1 movie out of thousands of hours of star trek lets star wars "trump" it. For christ sakes.. in star wars you could alter someones mind by waving at them. You could move objects by REALLY wanting them. Death? Thats for losers. Need I go on?/fanboy
No, its not. They stole the data weeks ago, or more realistically it is just sitting on there desktops at home. I can't even rememeber the last company I saw that didn't allow people to connect into work from home on some level. Usually they lock down more sensitive files from being accessed by anything but a remote workstation, BUT that doesn't prevent someone from just copying that file to a more convient location while they work on it. Then they get home.. copy that to there desktop at home and finish there work on it.. reupload it, and go to bed.
They then get fired 3 weeks or 4 months later and they then get home,see that file, and DON'T delete it. Until they didn't delete it, it was never stolen.. but once they got home, realized they had it and decided not to delete it it is stealing.
Arrogant prick. Seriously, you think the problem with your world changing brilliant idea is the name? No, the problem is that it sucks.
To quote Archer "You combine all the comforts of a cruise ship with a slightly faster method of travel.", its a dumb idea. Thats the problem.
From what I can tell the main complaint by the military is that this is risking military lives because it reveals tactics, informants, and plans. Let me assure you that A. The Taliban has long known our tactics for everything. Its pretty easy to figure out after the 500th skirmish where someone got away... B. The informants real names should of NEVER EVER been stored. Christ almighty, did the military learn jack shit from the CIA and there spy masters? We let every jack ass into the military.. this was bound to happen. C. Our plans are extremely transparent. Also they suck, they always have sucked in this kind of situation. They are going to spend a bunch of time/energy trying to find/kill Julian and if(when?) they succeed everyone will know it was the US. Thats when there shit will fly.. you think wikileaks doesn't have some kind of "Fuck you" plan saved up for the military? What do you think is in the encrypted insurance file? Its a fuck you file. They kill/capture Julian the next hour the password will be released and the military will be totally fucked.
Maybe its because I work for a large state's DOJ... but whos firewalls are just letting out random FTP connections? In our environment nothing goes in or out unless we directly state it should be. Its all very controlled... that and a pretty hefty usage of enterprise level AV scans on each box, then IDS, then AV on emails, filtering on emails(can only go to certain addresses).. etc etc. I guess we take the "Large amount of work in exchange for very tightly controlled systems" approach. Maybe other places should too?
Uh. No. Not even a little tiny wee bit. The issue with nuclear warfare between America and Russia is not ones capability to produce X amount of Weapon Y with a nuke on it. Its about the capability to have X fire Weapon Y and for Weapon Y to have 10 nukes. Before we started using the MIRV's it was possible to defend against a nuclear strike. Now though we know we are eff'd if the nukes start flying. Sure, we can shoot down 80 missiles if we get lucky.. can we shoot down 800? No.
So how exactly do these replace THAT capability? Also, the big threat of nuclear weapons is speed and stealth. Not having some frigen UAV flying around that any MIG built in the last 40 years could shoot down with ease.
Actually I find that the current market has disapproved your assumption that price and capability play a role in the purchase. The iPhone does less and costs more then most smart phones and it sells like mad.
You're right. Let us all get rid of cars as well... they lead to obesity FAR more then these walk ways would. -- Rides 15 miles a day to/from work on a bicycle. In 110 degree heat. (So yes, I can superior to you in terms of exercise)
I don't know about anyone else, but this story really cheered me up. +1 to whatever admin approved it, thank you. You cheered up an otherwise crappy day with stories of kitty happyness.:) (....23 year old straight male.... NOT 80 year old lady)
Don't confuse 'Don't learn' with 'Can't learn'. They might be able to master it at all, but just some general exposure and some real high level usage can go a very long way in there careers. Two kids applying for a job, one has at least used CFD a few times and the other goes "No, but I can figure it out!" its pretty straightforward who is getting the job.
Making digital goods act like physical objects might sound like a bizarre step backward. Didn't we gain quite a lot with the shift to digital, non-rivalrous items? We certainly did, but Sweazey argues that a truly non-rivalrous system makes commerce too difficult, even impossible, and that we need to create ways for the digital world to mirror the constraints of the physical one.
There argument is that its impossible to regulate the spread of there goods once they release a small quantity into public. They seem to of missed supply and demand.. if the supply is infinite, then no matter what scarcity is going to be low. With no scarcity, theres no real reason to pay.
Or, we could stop buying new nikes every 6 months. You know what shoes of mine have lasted the longest? American made work boots. Thats what shoes. They cost me 140$, but they are frigen bomb proof.
Hey! I take offense to this. I am a 23 year old IT Guy and I program everything in CL. Embedded systems? Command line. Stupid python based interfaces? Command line. Assembly modules for both of those? Command line. I haven't actually used a monitor on my unix box since I installed it. I just putty in and go from there.. please don't group all of us together. I agree, most new IT guys are frigen in love with there pixel candy.. but some of us(IE the good ones you want on your team) still crack stuff out in black and white. The only time I even look at graphics is when I am building out an interface for my robots control systems on my custom remote(LCD + ARM chip + Xbee transmitter/receiver).
Modern systems like the Ipad(and various replicas using linux & windows) face entirely different issues. Older systems were incapable of most productive features at the time. PC's were used to do "power hungry" things like run excel and word. There was almost no way an older system could run those in anywhere near the same level.
Now even my G1 can read and let me edit spreadsheets. My blackberry as well. Also we live in the age of web 2.0 and cloud computing, most of the crap people do on the internet is pretty processor friendly.

What the hell kind of idiot is posting this? When at work you should be working. If you mean actually sitting there and pushing buttons to create code that then is compiled and will remain as part of the code? 15 hours. If you mean all the required steps to create an actually half useful piece of code? FORTY HOURS A FRIGEN WEEK.

Then why is it every time I get drunk the girl is skinny, but when I wake up she is fat?? She is clearly just pigging out after I pass out.
Antarctica says otherwise. No one owns it.

In other news... stupid people get tricked by stupid tricks, rain is wet, and dry erase markers smell amazing.

Never do what you can in hardware, in software. ...and we can't do this in hardware! :)

BAMN MOTHER FRAKKER. Super obvious answer to your god awfully ignorant statement.
Queue the people explaining how this is evil because its "not enough".
