It has a HUGE impact. Now, when you go to a tech convention, instead of having crappy wireless at the convention center, you will have 5000 people, all carrying their own access points, trying to use the same dozen channels! Horray!
Dude.. You give your neighbors the bug zapper.. Every time they smile cause they zapped a mosquito, you'll smile cause that mosquito was attracted to their yard and not yours. You get yourself the laser to pick off the stubborn ones..
Thank you, I was just going to say, many mortgages are getting modified right now. Most contracts explicitly state how you can change the terms of the contract, which is exactly what the constitution does.
And when a large company claims aspirin cures cancer? and they sell aspirin as a cancer remedy? Thats just free speech. Or when Toyota says they have the best, most reliable gas pedals in the industry.
I have my phone to only give out GPS data on 911 calls. Is that what they are interested in? The exact location of people (within a hundred yards or whatever) without a warrant, or just which towers they pinged off of at a given time?
Yes, that is the exact problem with the new Key servers for windows 7..
You have 2 choices for companies with the right licenses. Have a license server running in your org. All systems much check in every X days to make sure they are valid and counted. If you have people working offsite, they better get VPN access, and use it at least once every X days. (in the age of Webmail and stuff, actually having to VPN in is getting less common). Also, that server has to connect to MS every X days to report back, or they all start getting marked as non-genuine.
Option 2. Have all windows 7 machines report back to MS. you can have a person or two that can access the data on MS's servers.. But as far as we can tell, re-installing the OS counts as another activation.
Some Database Software is $5k or more PER Processor (some even price it by the core) so i could see a very, very significant cost savings from buying the much more expensive Power system.. I once got quoted $20k per core for a database replication tool for a disaster recovery plan. That software got installed on a 3 year old, single core machine..
I have a 3.2 GHz Pentium 4 Extreme Edition.. One of the last models before moving to the Core Architecture. It was an "engineering sample" and is one hell of a space heater, but also many years old.
I think if I loaned someone dozens of billions of dollars, I would probably diss their competition as much as possible too..;) I would want to make sure I got paid..
Its Verizon Wireless. Not the network company, the Cell phone company. Others have in the past, shown how one phone can DDOS a Cell tower, and affect the ability for anyone on that tower to get a call through. A few dozen 4Channers playing with Cell towers on cloned phones could really, really mess up an entire city for as long as they wanted.
There is only a single place or two where they can make the containment vessels for the reactors. If I remember correctly, Mitsubishi in japan is the only company left, they weathered the storm, and are the only one left. After 30 years of very little work, I could understand their reluctance to start building new factories to make more, until they hit a certain number of backorders. I remember hearing that the backlog now is 5 years from the date you pay, till you get your containment vessel sitting on a barge.
Nuclear is much cheaper than coal. however, 20 years of litigation, site studies, and repetitive re-engineering and environmental studies, all get added to the cost. And during that 20 years, your paying interest, and costs, and not generating any revenue.
So their first car retails for >$100,000, and their second will be around $50,000 (which, after tax rebates, will be in the 40's) and they have stated that they will have an even cheaper car in the future, and your not seeing how the price declines relate very much to how technology drops in price?
Little things like once they build a plant, they can make their own cars, instead of buying a LOTUS, ripping it apart, and then putting there parts in could really, really drop the price. Look at the volt. Its not that far off in the price range. Is GM a boutique manufacturer?
Not only that, but its price in the summary is in Euro's, for an American weapon. Must be targeted to the rush and beck listeners who are convinced super inflation is coming, and our country is going bankrupt, so they are stocking up on gold, guns, and euro's..
Actually, the "Fair Tax" sounds pretty much exactly like you describe, except for the fact that they mail you a check every month to cover the taxes a family at poverty level would pay. (which does make it slightly progressive, but not nearly so much as we have now)
I couldn't help but think about the old propaganda from then.. About how you could tell who was a Jew by their appearance, lots of rings, big nose, .. Wonder how many people were rounded up because the "looked Jewish?"
One of my problems with big business, is they seem to welcome whatever is best for the executives. Take for instance, health care. One would think that most business would LOVE some reform, since its the single greatest increasing cost for any business. (Unless maybe your a shipping company, then its second to diesel prices). They are constantly battling foreign companies that don't have to pay for their employees health, its taken care of by slightly higher taxes (or in many countries, lower taxes, with much less military spending!). Hell, when they outsource American jobs, they don't have to pay insurance or other benefits in many of the companies, so the savings is much more than the difference in salary!
Yet the executives forget they could save a billion a year, and look at the fact that out of their $10 million salary, they would now have to pay the $20k a year for their super high end health plan for them, their 3 ex wives, and handful of kids that hate them, since they make too much to qualify, or would want something much nicer than a basic government plan. So, the might of the company is against it, because the leaders are, even though, for 99.9% of the employees, as well as the business itself, would be better off.
The first year or two are heavy EE classes, taught by teachers in the EE department. I changed majors before I would have started into VHDLs, and system on a chip stuff.
Not really.. I run Google Voice with a landline, a blackberry, and a dumb cell phone (crappy Motorola Flip phone) All you really need internet for is to setup the call routing or change it. I have it send SMS to my mobile phone (free incoming texts) with transcripts of my voicemails, as well as emailed to my gmail account. I could, just as easily call in and listen to them too.
The iphone app is just a handy way to manage it all, to use all the screen real estate. I guess there could be some functionality with SMS, or when calling someone from GV, it just puts your phone in "talk" mode, instead of calling it.. but the power of Google Voice is the simplicity of management, and the backend stuff. I almost never deal with the website.
The hackers weren't the most intelligent. If they would have properly encrypted their code (hell, even a ROT-13), then these groups trying to decipher their algorithms would be breaking the DCMA.

So to boil it down to a quick soundbyte... (and to brazenly steal from our arm's bearing soundbyte-makers)
Computers don't hack people, People do.

You mean Somalia?

Yeah, straight out of World War 1, and Johnny Got His Gun

Honestly, its alot easier to break the person, than it is the encryption... People are weak, just go all Jack Bauer on them, they will talk.
Just how many blade servers do you have to buy to "make up the revenue" from one HPUX box?
