And shoes. Nearly every pirate in the world uses them, and they can freely access them without any kind of restriction anywhere in the world, frequently for low prices and for cash in black markets. Won't somebody think of the children?
It said Yes for me (after I allowed the site in NoScript in FireFox), even though I don't have gmail open. I did have iGoogle and Google Voice up, which use the same ID. I guess any page that uses the Google log in would show a Yes, after javascript is turned on. Yet another reason to use NoScript for me.
HAH! And John Doe #2 turned out be Hussein al Husseini, an Iraqi Revolutionary Guards member. Nichols visited Philipines and met Ramzi Yousef, a former Iraqi operative, and bought his second wife at an Al Qaeda owned brothel. Google OKC and Iraq or OKC and al Qaeda and do some reading.
Thank FSM no one can take a picture of my credit card when I'm using it. Or take a video of me inputting my PIN at the ATM. Or just take my wallet. How does this raise any more security concerns than what you're currently using?
And using a laptop to access it won't do much good. You need to connect to the GE server in order to stream the imagery and various layers. They could theoretically set up their own GE server, but they're not cheap. A proxy for Iranian government employees to access GE from work would be the easiest solution, and well within their capability. This may be "propaganda", but to whom remains the question.
I don't think merely downloading it from somewhere else would work for GE. GE connects back to the Google Earth server, so Google can still block it from being used, as in they have the program but it doesn't do anything. A simple proxy should still work though.
I would sooner believe this is just a palatable compromise to some govt officials. Plenty of people in the US govt know about proxies, since we, um, use them ourselves. But perhaps members of congress don't realize how easy it is to circumvent, so it sounds pretty good to them. So we get to look like we're taking a hard line against Iran, without actually having to take a hard line.
Several GTMO inmates were captured due to the intelligence on them (meaning we knew they were guilty), then turned over to their host nation for prosecution. Yemen, among others, decided to "rehabilitate" these life-long die hard jihadists for a few weeks then release them. Several of the AQAP leaders are former GTMO inmates and some have been captured a second time. So when I said they returned to violence, that's exactly what some of them did and so basically your whole premise is just uninformed. And IAAIA (Intelligence Analyst) and I actually went to GTMO and worked with the interrogators there. Nothing I said is classified BTW, so don't even go there.
Off-topic, I now, but in regards to your sig, what is the point? Could you not say that any prison or jail of comparable size in the world also has at least one innocent person? It's also true we've released hundreds from GTMO, and many have returned to violence.
I would agree the dock is not essential as long as the keyboard, mouse, and monitor work. But having a cradle that keeps the tablet at the right angle for viewing (assuming the monitor is not used) while charging it and providing more ports would be a nice feature for a lot of people, myself included. Also, plenty of USB devices require power, so one USB port on the tablet itself would probably not support them. For instance, my keyboard has two USB plugs, one for data and one for power, so the dock would make this easier for me.
2. It takes more than just being able to run on the hardware to make it useful. It needs multi-touch gestures built in, large easily visible icons for everything, and an app store with loads of choice at the very least. Taking a desktop PC and scrunching it down to fit on a tablet is a good way to make it clunky, counter-intuitive, and ill-fitting. Everything you'd expect from Microsoft.
There's at least one model of tablet coming out that has a dock to connect with a keyboard. So for home use, I could type on the physical keyboard of my choice, perhaps navigate with the optical mouse of my choice (and maybe connect a large monitor? awesome!), and do nearly everything I do on my home PC. There's very little I can do on my Ubuntu laptop (my current primary home PC) that I couldn't apparently do on a Honeycomb tablet. Give me an app to burn CDs and DVDs (is there one? I don't know), an app for P2P downloading, multi-tabbed full-html browsing with flash, and multi-tasking and I think I could switch to just having a tablet. Then when I go out, I would take my tablet with me.
I think that mobile computing in general has a very bright future, though it may not cut into Wintel as much as Google would hope. More people will just have more than one device, is all.
That would the be "lower than 1 in a billion", the only number in your post. How did you calculate that, if it wasn't rectally sourced? Please show your math.
You should definitely work on reading comprehension though.
Did I miss another number? Did I miss the math?
Did you read the whole post or just the bit you quoted?
Did you read your own, before you get on your high horse?

1 in 7. As long we're just making up wild accusations, let's just make up some wild numbers.
And what, interject some bad code? How would anyone know?
Pretty sad when people will actually scream "terrorist" as a fake distraction.
You're the only one who used the word "terrorist". Ironic much?
What makes you think he really cared then? How is it no one else saw him for the charismatic used car salesman politician he is?
Look, all I want is an honest week's pay for an honest day's work. Is that so much to ask?

It is the very model of the modern dollar generator.
So May the Third we get DNF, then the next day is the next Star Wars game, right? May the Fourth be with you...
Yes, Richard Stallman is, to his close friends, also known as Lumpy.

Stationed there for 3.5 years in the Marine Corps, so yeah, a few times. Been stationed in worse places, so I think it's pretty nice. YMMV.
I dunno, I think Virginia Beach is a pretty nice place.
Proxies are a difficult concept.
For the Iranian government? Really?
