The CEO of HP is an idiot. Their product was way overpriced for what it is. at $99.00 it flew off the shelves because $99 is a impulse buy price point.
People will pay for a OPEN and NICE tablet that is REASONABLY priced. those three keywords need to be met.
Also if you are not Apple, then you have zero chance if you price your tablet the same as an iPad. Sorry, that' just reality.
Make a android tablet that is not locked in any way. use plain Jane Android and make it fast as well built for $259-$359. If you price it OVER $359 and it's not better built than the iPad you have an automatic fail.
the iPad sells better than anything else and the competition has to offer more for a lower price. Look at car companies. BMW is the standard and Kia makes an awesome luxury car with the Optima, it really is! go drive ne you will be surprised! but they had to offer a LOT at a very low price to get people to buy them.
That is your choice but it's nothing at all like my example.
IF you were given free CD's or subscribed to MSDN to get free copies of software but chose instead to download it elsewhere and use keygens... THAT is an equivalent example.
This would require the Executives to have an IQ above 82.
Currently it is a requirement that to be an MPAA or RIAA executive you must have a IQ no higher than 85 or have suffered repeated serious head injuries.
My favorite is the argument that downloading TV shows is stealing. I pay for cableTV so I get all those channels. how the hell is it illegal for me to download a TV Show that aired on a TV channel I PAY FOR to watch it later? I'm just using the internet as a TiVo... which is 100% legal.
And how about all TV shows that are broadcast over public airwaves? Those are free to record.
So I gladly continue to download TV shows. and tell the MPAA,RIAA,WMAA, NCAA and WNBA to stuff it up their rectums.

Actually many local municipalities have passed laws making it illegal for a homeowner to do any electrical work and force them to hire a licensed contractor. It's one of the most heinous law trends out there for propping up a trade.
IT seems the idiots here think drag-racing from light to light make it faster. it turned green! FLOOR IT!
Until they either increase the requirements to have a drivers license this green light trickery will be ineffective as all the nimrods will bunch up in front of you causing traffic delays and negating getting a green light. It's why I stopped all hypermiling tricks in town, all the other drivers drive like idiots.
"There is no reason why in 2011 you can't make it prohibitively difficult for the vast majority of would be attackers to run a port scan against your hosts"
Yes there is. Competent Network people and up to date networking hardware to do this cost money. Executives would rather continue to run on the out of date Nokia Firewalls they bought in 2003 and hire employees who are happy to get $25,000 to $35,000 instead of having a budget that is realistic and pay-scales that attract competent employees.
THIS is the reason that in 2011 you cant have in place mechanisms that difficult for an attacker to gain a foothold in your company.
You should also already have DROP rules for all IP addresses coming from outside countries you dont have workers in already.
We dont have any asian, eastern or russian workers so I block all those countrues in the firewall. it reduces risk and traffic significantly.
I also have the firewall add a 24 hour drop rule for any IP address that attempts a connection and gets a rejection more than 5 times to a port in 20 minutes.
Passwords are your second line of defense, your firewall is your first.
Incorrect. I know a couple of people that understand relativity but can not do the math. It's all about wrapping your head around the concepts. you can easily understand it if you use dumbed down math. you just cant be accurate.
Just like how you can calculate the area or circumference of a circle using 3 instead of Pi and still get a close answer.
5 meter and 6 meter communications is still very common in military. It's a band that is highly effective for longer range ground communication without the use of satellites or repeaters.

"You want to look attractive but to be honest confidence is more attractive than any hair style."
A LOT of women find a shaved head very attractive. so of you are losing your hair, shave it. Instant solution to the vanity problem.

Your example is the same as.....
"I grow my own tomatoes from seeds"
I steal oranges because pears taste like fruit.
Nothing in any agreement I signed says I can NOT watch a previously recorded copy of a TV show. Which is what a Torrent of a TV show is.
The law aspect, I agree. it's because we elect idiots and morons that are taking bribes to pass laws that are unjust.

It's a secret project that nobody has heard about.
I even run IE6 and IE8 under it.

Burn you an ISO?
is that a new name for crack or meth?
What is it with you kids!!!
Microsoft.
Think Harder.
I think apple will allow them to use that advertising campaign.
Dude, game piracy is rampant with the 12-22 crowd. you just are not in the demographic that has no money like you were before.
A kid with a jones for a new game will look for the pirated version before asking mommy for $60.00
"First of all even Apple doesn't prevent you from writing code. XCode is free, and can compile native OSX code, and can run iOS code in an emulator."
so where do I download a Linux or Windows version of this XCode?
Oh wait, you have to buy OSX and a Apple device (MacMini) in order to do this. That is hardly free.
and yes, I CAN write windows software under Linux or BSD. IT is a fair point.
Simple. CS needs to be more advanced.

I maintain about 20 of them and WILL NOT USE FTP.
SFTP is what anyone who is competent uses. even frigging Go-daddy has it.
I only see an idiot that does not have the balls to troll under their own account.
Maybe someday you will get your drivers license. Your mom might even let you drive her car!
Only if they did not make it past 3rd grade math.

is one I look at monthly. but I will block a wider swath based on that list. I dont care if I block a few other small countries if I cast my net wide.
I get the list from the server, bad login, pass it to the firewall all decent servers can do this.
Or do you mean IP addresses for other countries?
I get them from a secret site on the internet....

There is NO REASON that little company that has a guy that knows "puters" to not have VPS. cheap SOHO routers support VPN's easily.
Sorry but if your business cant afford to hire at least a part time consultant that knows what he is doing, you do not deserve to be in business.

It's just a silent commentary as to the quality of MCSE's thrown into a server administration role.
Most guys that are worth their salt demand silly salaries like $60,000-$90,000US a year instead of the new ITT grad that will accept $35,000 a year.
Again, you get what you pay for. and companies pay for 666666 as a server password.
