Hey the TV networks are losing $22,589,304,200,123.15 every second because of bittorrents. These evil pirates are making these kind souls that make this content for our enjoyment, out of the goodness of their hearts... Poor by STEALING their content.
Because if after a TV show like "big bang theory" airs and it hits the torrent sites, NOBODY will buy the DVD's or watch any of the reruns. Sales of TV show DVD's are at ZERO.. Nobody at all buys them, nobody is watching reruns. They are poor as paupers and we all simply ignore them and continue stealing...
Those poor poor destitute souls... all you evil people are making them so poor that in order to survive NBC had to be sold to Comcast for pennies on the dollar.
It's not the Russians it's the Chinese, and you need to find the user interface to run that simulation. Problem is you will probably kill all the residents of the town, but you can rescue your father anyways if you run for the door after you trigger it.
Because it's not real. YOu dont enter a situation with a 50,000 foot view and the hand of god.
Honestly, when they point at the other side of the town and say, "the terrorists are over here copying DVD's" any fool can plot a plan of action with a 50,000 foot view of the whole town.
Having NO view of the town other than what you can pull up on your resources that are offline and plan from a non-live 2D view of a reasource is far more difficult and matches reality far better.
Put them in a situation where it is far more realistic than standing over a war model.
Doing this On the same frequency is remarkable. but the gains they are claiming can be had right now by using TWO frequencies. Transmit on channel 1 receive on channel 12.. the other end does the opposite. the thing is, 90% of Ethernet traffic is not bi directional. it's packetized so their claims of DOUBLE will not be realized. when you set up a network connection from half duplex to full duplex you do not see a double in speed, just a double in capacity.
They still outsell ALL Android phones and Apple phones COMBINED. Nokia is the giant in Cellphones. Outside the usa they are still the first choice as Symbian offers features that Android does not or has not until recently. Honestly even my 3 year old 5800 Nokia smartphone has features that are just showing up for Android, and may some day hit Apple.
They are hurting, but it's because of management that is worthless and nearly incompetent, and the company not having any direction.
His workplace is NOT interested in security. or it would simply have smartcard authentication on all the computers.
Smartcard + simple password = better security than requiring a 23 character password with a vowel to constant ratio of 1:3 and require 43% caps and 27.6% non alphanumeric characters plus it must be changed every 7 days...
Any company that does not use a simple password + authentication device pair is only faking their security.
And that is the point of getting executive buy-in. to bypass the security guys that say by default "no way, if it does not meet NSA security specs it's not on my network" and actually getting work done in the company.
I'm a big one on giving the guys that matter, sales, the tools to sell more and make more money for the company. It's that understanding that get's me as a IS guru and dev the ear of most of the executives as I talk their language.
"increased sales, better time management, low cost easily replaced hardware (iphone/ipad)" makes them listen, buy in and say, "great idea, let's test that and see if it can be implemented "
SEC would prefer we use $3500.00 each windows 7 tablet computers instead of $500.00 ipads. SEC guys are out of touch with reality, end running them is the only option in getting real technology in the company.
That's why I love patching a crossover cable from one switch to another on them and let it sit there.
making it red like their critical cables and with a "DO NOT REMOVE" label attached on each end is a great way to screw with them. Bonus points if you make it long and snake it through trays so it's not obvious.
Got a great idea and want to get it past security without trouble? that's simple... simply get buy-in from a senior executive. get him to adopt it as his pet project and get it working on the Dev servers. now when he announces it Security cant do anything but say yes and do your bidding because they do not dare tell the Senior VP of marketing that they wont let his project run. Do I make enemies withing security? yup. Every one of them hated me because my default approach to them was an end run. And it was simply because the security guys were incapable of thought outside of the "lock it all down" OMG OMG! DANGER DANGER! WE got a iphone/ipod app launched for use in the company and made every one of the security guys froth at the mouth and fall on the floor convulsing when I end ran them to a VP who loved it and wanted every sales person to have it. They lost their mind at allowing 190 non company locked up iphones and ipods connected to the holy internal wifi.
Just wait when my ipad system for sales forecasting get's greenlighted and they have to allow 200+ ipads on it as well...
use key off of bottom of laptop to activate it and it magically, by the use of Microsoft fairy dust, turns from pirated to genuine.
Plus I get to enjoy a 15 minute talk with some random person in MSFT's call center in india... I love how "steve" had the thickest indian accent I have ever ran into.
2.1 hours spent, 90% of the time with me watching tv and glancing at the laptop as it does it's thing.
"After all, Microsoft essentially invented the smartphone over a decade ago, long before the iPhone. Where did it get them?" It got them laughed out of the phone world because they were stupid claiming they invented the smartphone.
Palm and Qualicomm had working mass produced smartphones way WAY before Microsoft even knew what cellphones were for. Then they come along acting like they invented the smartphone and everyon ignores them are the idiot in the classroom that tries to get credit for what everyone else has done.
Nokia and PALM INVENTED the smartphone market, then Blackberry jumped in, for years before microsoft got off their butt and pulled a "mee too" with their very first smartphone running windows CE and it was a giant turd. even CE re branded as windows smartphone 2002 was crap and was outsold hard by the Palm Treo that had hardware problems, but it was better than having to reboot your phone daily because windows CE is unstable and useless. Back then the Palm platform ruled as you could use ANY palm pilot app on a palm smartphone. This gave a PALM phone a GIANT edge over everyone else.
Microsoft did not invent anything in the smartphone arena, they always have been an anklebiter trying to play catchup. They need to stop this and go back to OS and BackOffice software.
Buy a barebones laptop with the features you want.
Buy the processor you want buy the ram you want buy the pci-express mini cards for the prephrials you want. buy the OS you want. start assembling and installing. I built one years ago this way and ended up with a great laptop that was 100% linux compatible. Problem is that nobody has a mobile video card slot so you are stuck with buying onboard
Dell, HP, Toshiba all feel they need to install "helperware" that is nothing more than:Hinderware. Whenever I buy a new laptop the first thing I have to do is crack open the windows OS CD and reinstall the OS. IT's faster than stripping out all he crap that dell and the others shovel into these things. and that's only if I am keen enough to see the checkmark to include the recovery media when I buy it. HP tell you to go F***K yourself and will not give you any recovery media but make you waste 2 hours creating it from the laptop. (That and their retarded trackpad design makes HP top slot on my never buy list)
Why cant these laptop makers do the simple task of... Give me a clean OS install with drivers. NO OTHER CRAPWARE....
Yup yet it seems that doing it right is not profitable.. so all the reformists are taking up the old path once again and adding in "value added" features to generate more cash flow.
Christianity in it's correct sense is not profitable. Churches have to twist it to make it profitable.
Honestly, if you are confessing sins that you need to figure out WHAT to confess then your religion is the wrong one and you need to get out now.
Dont kill, dont steal, dont rape, dont lie. REALLY fricking simple here. any other "sins" are simply made up crap to get he church more cash or more control over you.
feel like you are unworthy and need a bigger sin list? here add these to your pile...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_deadly_sins Everything else is bullshit. Just like how marriage is "for god" IT's not. it's for government, Hand-fasting was the most common form of marriage for 90% of human history, but here comes government that can make a buck and now you have to get "married" and the church gloms on and makes it another requirement to build sin upon.
As a Christian I am appalled at how utterly bastardized my religion has become. Christianity = Being a love hippie. Turn the other cheek, forgive everyone, you know those teachings of Christ? Jesus was a hippie.

Tivo service contracts list "lifetime" as the lifetime of the unit. and they can end the lifetime of a unit at any time.
Only a fool ever paid for the lifetime service with Tivo, they could and had a history of screwing over people that paid for lifetime subscriptions.
Wierd. I know of two lifetime replay TV units that are still getting data. I need to ask my friends how that are doing that.
Let's ignore a global economic collapse there.

Why is the Republican party imploding into insanity?
I can not believe you people allow idiots like Beck and Palin even open their mouths. They make all republicans look insane just by association.
It was lime flavored... I couldn't help it.
I can not pass up a lime Kool-aid.
And that is why you dont have any superpowers like the rest of us.
I go out naked during Xray events while holding a TV antenna high in the air.... I can now get stains out of any carpet with my mind!
It was viewable as far south as Lansing MI Last night. This next one hopefully will push the northern lights as far south as that again.

bluetooth headset always in is annoying though.
