Just saying that unless GPS was enabled when they walked indoors and stored the last good lock position, it'd be useless. They absolutely do need you to tell them where you are exactly, just in case.
This will be used to gouge customers arbitrarily, like any and other possible excuse has been used.
My g/f moved in with me recently. The house we live in is 600 yards from her parents house, and on the same estate. They are connected by the same road running through the estate. Turn right for the road to her mom's house, left for ours.
Her insurance premium went up by over £300 (an increase of approx 80%). The reason was that the post code was more at risk. A post code one letter different to the one she resided under previously.
Insurance companies are out to gouge you for profit, and you can't say no unless you're a multi millionaire and can guarantee you can afford the bill if something goes wrong. Don't think they're out to do anything for you. Ever.
It's nobody's fault, it's market exposure. Linux has a very low home user base, almost nobody who uses Linux as their home OS plays AAA PC game titles as there are no games for it. One has to increase in order for their to be a market for the other.
I personally play PC games on Linux, and by PC games I mean any Windows game made prior to 2007 which is Gold / Platinum rated on WINE, and WoW. Saying that, I'm buying Windows 7 for Christmas so I can get back into PC gaming properly.
Linux is awesome as an OS, I love it to bits, but it's not got the user base yet to be a competitor to Windows on the PC gaming market.
I totally read this whole article as a slashvertisment:
"CD Projekt releasing DRM free game on GoG.com" is the actual title. The letters setting fines for those who torrent the game instead are just to get it onto tech websites, like this. It's what any publishing company would do.
So, did Paramount gain a paying customer or lose out on your business altogether?
If you started paying for the content you consume, well done. you successfully proved that, in your one case alone, a pirate is definitely a lost sale. If you stopped consuming their products, then really well done. You've proven that pirates aren't lost sales, and they need to reduce their outrageous prices on digital media to get consumers back.
Access to the cockpit is now prevented in flight by it being locked from the inside. Future hijackings will probably involve taking passenger hostages to get the pilot to open the door. This is where passengers would fight back.
There have been instances where hijacked planes have landed and the passengers released. This was in the minds of those taken hostage. Now, the image they hold is flying into a building, and they'd rather prevent that from happening again.
See point 2.
There's no double standard. I specified technology used to find the contents of suspicious packages, and then the agency responsible for their use and deployment. "We" was a reference to society in general. Instead of "We" substitute "At our disposal" if you wish.
I know that not all packages are checked with X-Ray scanners. This much has been stated in the press numerous times.
The baggage screening process is still flawed if bombs are still making it into the cargo hold of planes. If I have no idea that there are improvements, maybe the TSA could do themselves a favour and tell us about them.
Check Drudge Report. While not mainstream media, there is photographic and video evidence of at least two situations where TSA agents have groped a minor, and many more where adults have been reduced to tears, one handcuffed to a chair, one forced to remove a breast prosthesis, and one lady having a TSA agent actually put their hand inside her underwear. There is something seriously wrong with that policy, and TSA agents are being verbally and physically assaulted as a result. It's in their interest that the policy is changed.
I never said I did. I do, however, have an opinion, and it seems a few people agree with it.
Please let me know if you have any other points to raise.
We were safe right after the 9/11 attacks. The guys who forced the pilot to crash the plane upped the anti; Hijackings are no longer guaranteed, or even likely, to end with the passengers lives saved, so now they need to defend their lives themselves. There will be no more aerial hijackings, and anyone who tries will need to be scooped up into carrier bags to be taken from the plane.
As for bombs; We have trained dogs, x-ray machines for packages, and all manner of technology for checking packages, but not all packages are checked. We need to implement higher controls on the baggage side of airport security, not the passenger side. Train more dogs, get more baggage x-ray machines, and train more TSA agents for the behind-the-scenes security procedures.
What we don't need is 40 year olds rent-a-cops with authority issues touching the crotch of seven year old kids before they get on their trip to Disney World in case their hiding a kilo of Cemtex in their pants.
It's just such a shame that a country with such terrible food, boring culture, and little to no historical significance is one of the only countries I will fly to for a holiday now.
Excuse me while I go find a crowbar to prise my tongue into its proper place.
I like how these "enhanced pat down" procedures were introduced as a response to those undetonated bombs found in printer toner cartridges.
Was one strapped to the chest of a courier? Did he try and stuff one into his sock and pretend that it was an ankle support? No, they were located in the baggage hold.
So now you get to be felt up by a person who has had the same background checking than the man who collects your trash (none), or have another one stare at your kids' meat and two veg, drooling like Pavlov's dogs at a campanologist convention.
Net neutrality is the belief that any and all data on the network should be treated identically. You may as well be asking what racial equality is, barring universals and ambiguity.
Unless you're a specialist in sociology, employment law, and politics, I don't think you can comment on racial equality except in universals and ambiguous terms. The same applies to networking engineers commenting on network neutrality. However, both can agree that having a general concept of either is a Good Thing, and can probably agree on the basics of each.
Leave the technical details to the specialists; I simply wanted to put the concept into simple terms anyone could understand.
Unhindered in this sense is defined as not prioritising or retarding progress of a packet based upon content, including destination and source. The only factors which should influence the delivery speed of the packet is the time the packet was sent, and network congestion. Packet B before C, packet A first, and the only difference between them as far as prioritising is concerned is that A arrived before B before C.
The question was to define the concept of network neutrality, not come up with an implementation. How ISPs go about this is something they need to work on.
It's no easier from the other side of the coin. I've 8 years experience from first line Helldesk through to network management, but everything above this point now requires a degree.
Whereas you can't get the work to get the experience, I can't get the three letters after my name to get the higher pay. I'm a tape monkey until I get a degree, no matter what my experience is.
You seem to have missed out that they could have employed the GP directly, and cut out the middle man.
Giving your knowledge and expertise away for free is cheating yourself out of a paycheque. More power to him if he can afford to do that, but many can't nowadays.
I have a letter from my local MP (Lib Dem) stating she would tow the party line and vote against the DEB when it was introduced during the wash-up.
She didn't turn up.
When the local elections come around again, I'll be sure to send her a copy of the letter with a copy of the list of those in attendance, and a scrap of paper saying "Lying politicians lose votes."
What do you think Marxist's would think if Che had a Twitter account for personal messages, where he openly stated "Just moved in to my new Florida condo! Can't wait to visit Disney. BBQ tomorrow with the senator lol:)"
How do you scan the proprietary upgrade boards used within the control machines themselves? 'Cause that's the method of infection; Infect the engineer's network, get written onto the upgrade software supplied by the engineer, get installed by an engineer.

Yeah. That kind of thinking worked well for the Welchia worm
Maybe this will be the year of Linux on the desktop!

The solution is simple; Broadband as a utility. Nationalise the network hardware, allow private companies to provide service over it.
Works for the power grid.

She's playing two time-intensive games at once. The fact she has a 62 balance / resto druid, and not 3 level 80's, is pretty much the same thing.
It's just costing £8.99 pcm for the privilege.

More importantly, don't use control software from companies who mandate that passwords are hard-coded and cannot be changed.
