considering we do not haveany particle energy weapons or lasers that are worth a damn, you would have missiles and projectiles. Missiles being preferred as they can be jettisoned and self propelled and will not affect the trajectory horribly like a projectile weapon will.
For example, the navy's new rail gun, if fired from a ship 10 times the mass of the ISS, it would significantly thrust the ship. Enough to fling people inside against walls.
Now a good defense against high speed missiles would be simply throwing sand out. the missiles would hit the sand and detonate, and any heavy hyper speed projectile would ablate significantly.
This is assuming you can have ANY armor at all. current space tech? hyper speed BB guns would destroy each other easily, or simply send a flack missle to explode into shrapnel in the trajectory of the target and let them get shredded.
basically right now space combat would be over quickly. the first to not dodge a small missle will be dead.
For example. 100 projects. 10 are high priority. if an 11th comes in before ANY work is done on it one of the top 10 MUST be demoted to lower priority.
It makes a bunch of the management whine like babies, but it works and keeps us at optimal.
They upload a photo, destroying any quality at all it had, and they do stupid crap like deleting the copy off the camera. Quite a few people are complete idiots and store their only copy on FB or Flikr, etc...
I instead store them on two 1.5tb drives I have here as photo backups. I recently had to upgrade from two 500gig drives as I filled them up with only 9 years worth of digital photos.
My wife comes from a long line of Smiths and her brother John Smith the IV, her father John Smith the III, her Grand Father John Smith the II and her great grand father John Smith.
Her Great Grandfather got his name when they came to the USA. Before that they were the Smythes but that was unamerican so they beat him at Ellis Island until he took an american spelling. He would have been John Smythe VII but the racists running ellis island though it was too snooty and wierdly spelled.
That is not hard with a Via C3. The board I have had VGA onboard and all other connectors (it looks like a ATX motherboard) but ran off of 5 watts at 5 volts All from outdated 5 year old tech from little old VIA.
I was running a processor off of solar years ago. using the VIA C3 processors from 4 years ago. Glad to see Intel catching up to the rest of the industry.
And this is a silly point. I was going to buy a BT keyboard for my ipad on several occasions but every time I had it in my hands and walking to the register I put it back because the words in my head kept ringing..."If you need to type that much, just grab the laptop you always have with you anyways"
I have never seen anyone that has an iPad and uses it for business, have only that iPad. they always have a laptop as well.
I know a lot of people are attracted to the fiction of only having a thin light ipad with them all day long for all uses, but it's not reality. I simply reach down and flip open my 17" macbook and do serious creation work. it wakes up within 30 seconds and is ready to go.
If the person is a very tiny weakling waif, they can get an ultrabook like an air or other type to have a light compliment that they can not get winded and pass out carrying around.
Why try to make a tablet do everything? why not use it for what it was created for? a compliment to your PC.
I just wish that a real version of Microsoft One Note would hit the ipad. you can't do handwritten notes on the ipad version. so my ipad stays in the case and the Fujitsu tablet comes out in meetings.
That "software bridge" is called the craptastic USB stack that Microsoft uses on windows 7.
Even if you open the iphone from the file manager and grab them by hand it takes forever. USB2.0 is utter crap for any large amounts of data transfer. Small single files? good, sustained data transfer is garbage. Apple was stupid for removing the Firewire interface from the ipod and iphhone.
12 gigs of photos over USB 2.0 is slow as hell simply because the USB2.0 speeds are slow as hell.
"The judge followed the law. That is what he is OBLIGATED to do."
Which was his first mistake. A jury is NOT obligated to follow the law and a Jury can find someone not guilty in spite of the law if they find a law unjust.
Problem is most judges bullshit the jury and tell them they have to follow what the law says. in reality the do not.
Yes but it also costs $2500.00 I'm not rich so my only choice is used or the crap sold by Dell, Acer,Asus and HP. and none of the low end Laptop makers have and high resolution NON GLARE screens.
WTF is this fetish with adding more glare to a laptop screen?
"That's why it's so stupid to put any money into non-fossil energy. If we can't power a house by solar energy now, we'll never be able to and we just have to accept it."
We can, and many of us have been doing it for a long time, some of us for decades. Where have you been?
Why? I'd rather have a bunch of 80gig disks in a RAID 50 it would be much faster than a 2TB drive and far more stable in case of data loss.
I guess if what matters to you is small size and your data has little value, a single 2TB drive is good. to me the data is worth far more than the price of the hardware.
Ahh yes those little spies that every thursday and every other weekend report back to mommy that daddy is dating a 22 year old. At least that is what I made sure they reported to mommy.
What is fun is that you think after the child graduates and hit's 18 you don't have to deal with that satanic bitch you married and had your little angel(s) with once upon a time.
but no, they come back into your view over and over and over. what is fun is that the restraining order I still have on her causes a lot of fun issues.
Tip #47 for marriage: find out if she is completely nuts BEFORE marrying her. Any woman that will set your vacation home on FIRE and kill your dog is not marriage material no matter how smoking hot and big her boobs are.
Yeah cold as hell. Only to those without any assets.
My business partners REQUIRED me to sign a prenup with my wife or I had to cash out of the business. In fact MOST partnerships have this requirement if they owners have any brains.
If one of my partners were to get married I would demand he cash out or get her to sign one.
Yup, he is not stupid and follows what society tries to make everyone believe is required.
I have several friends that have been together for decades and not married, and they have no desire to get married. They dont want the government a part of yet another facet of their lives.
Also outside of christanity, the only people for marriage is government types.

you sir are a freaking genius!
I'm going to go tell slashdot that I am a 20 year old hot chick that lives in Gnome alaska.

7 figures? you guys only buylow grade garbage. you should by 8 or 9 figure solutions.

True, find breach, send info to facebook on how to do it from a fake untraceable account.
you do a good deed, stay anonymous from litigious bastards, and increase your karma.
Anyone doing any other way is scamming for something. real white hates do it secretly and for free.

It's why I have not upgraded my 5 year old macbook pro. You cant get a 1920X1200 laptop screen anymore. WTF is that.

How old was this server? I have not needed a floppy for bios updates in over 5 years.

51% you must have had a INCREDIBLE Lawyer. Most men lose 80% of all they own.

" and in general do "best practices" for employee termination."
Wait, have her escorted from the building? Freaking genius man!
"She has her own car, it's in both our names"
what state allows that? Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois says, one name on the title. That is odd to have multiple names on a vehicle title.
"Generally true, but things like data backups - that's a little trickier to keep separate."
How? Her backups go to //nas1//backup/wife_laptop my backups go to //nas1//backup/My_laptop
Pretty darn easy to keep them separated. Also It's easy to deal with the photos cache, just make a copy onto a portable drive and be done with it all.
