There was an executive order issued last October that mandates replacing all government office access badges be replaced with cryptographically secure smart cards.
While this activity is legal (as long as the photographers don't trespass on private property to get their shots)
While it might be legal to do, they could be infringing on your rights as a property owner. Generally, it would be okay to use as long as it was not for commercial purposes, but it clearly sounds like it is for commercial purposes, in which case they would need a property release from you in order to use the images and you can charge whatever you want for the property release.
This was an issue during one of the spiderman movies where the property owners wanted money for digital reproductions of the buildings in times square.
The interesting thing is since skype uses encryption and encryption use by private citizens is illegal in China, just using skype could get you arrested. But then again, if the Chinese government wants to arrest a citizen in China they just do it and can find (or make up) a reason for the arrest afterwards.
I'm assuming that you are also pressurizing the air in between the conducters and the armor jacket so that you can tell when I cut a small hole in your armor, right?
This actually would solve the problem. All somebody needs to do bring along a little four port hub and plug that into one of the existing valid ports and plug in what ever they want into small hub. Especially with 700+ location, it is highly unlikely that all of the existing ports are going to be check by security for unauthorized hubs.
You're probably going to say, epoxy in the existing cables as well. But then I would just cut the cable and crimp on new plugs.
Until fairly recently (well 10 years), high end IBM mainframes used water cooling, so many datacenters may alreay have water heat exchangers. With blades esp. I wonder how much power is used cooling them, and how much could be saved by switching to water based cooling?
In some countries, the military and police are not fully funded by the government. The government requires them to develop a means to fund themselves. This results in the military and police running protection rackets. At least if both the police and military are doing this the provide competition to each other, but it is still pretty f*cked up.
I think you might be on to something with #4. In the US, due to the way insurance works, there is a very strong incentive to diagnose a disease. In fact I had an insurance salesman once tell me to always complain about having an illness such as a cold when getting a physical. This is because the copayment for a physical under that plan was $150 and the copayment if I had an illness and got a physical as well was only $10. The salesman told me this to try and sell the insurance plan to my company when one of the employees complained about the high cost of copays for physicals. Doctors know that they have to diagnose a disease with every visit to keep there patients coming back. If I when to a doctor with a complaint and got charged $140 extra because he didn't diagnose something, I'd be pissed.
You don't want them to have an adrenaline rush. You want them to react as trained not to panic and put peoples lives at risk. Anyone trained to use deadly force goes through this procedure. You drill and drill and drill so that finally when faced with an stressful situation, you don't panic but rather can rely upon your instinct to allow you to do the right thing.
we don't drive the same mix of vehicles so the overall gas mileage of the fleet of vehicles we drive today is worse than that of the fleet of vehicles in 1978.
My 295hp car just got 28 mpg on a 3 hour trip today, in 1978 that car would have gotten about 6-12mpg (since there were no 295 hp new cars in 1978, we'll have to estimate).
Well, when I was in college, I had a 1978 Honda Civic (no idea as to the horsepower of the engine in that car) and it regularly got over 40 mpg and this was a ten year old car at the time.
Know what, I bet if we timed how long it would take me to drive that civic around town and how long it would take you to drive your 295hp car around, there would be no significant difference.
That is the real problem. Yeah trucks and SUVs and Minivan and everything else that we drive now may get better gas mileage than there equivalents in the 1978, we don't drive the same mix of vehicles so the overall gas mileage of the fleet of vehicles in 1978.
Or maybe, it shows that tumors are more likely to form on your dominant side. And people tend to hold their cell phones on their dominant side. For example, if you are right handed, maybe tumors are more likely to form on the right side. You would also be more likely to hold your cell phone with your right hand and hold it up to your right ear. Would this prove that cell phones cause cancer? No. This is just one possible cause, there are thousands more just like it, and that does not include any selection bias, which is what the research think is the cause.
When I worked for Ohio Bell ~18 years ago, the number we used was $8K per minute for a fiber cut. That included both actual repair costs and lost revenue.
What actually happens is that time slows down near the event horizon as observed from a distance away (outside the gravity well of the hole). It slows down so much that it would taken an infinite amount of time to cross the horizon. This is also the cause of the red-shift.
Which is why the human readible paper ballot is the ultimate record of the vote. If the machine tallies the vote incorrectly, but the voter's paper ballot is correct, the machine tallies can be detected and the machine tallies discarded.
Just have the application fee for patents go up for each patent you (based on the assignee not on the inventor) file with a given time period. First patent filed in a year is cheap, next patent is more expensive, 100th patent is very expensive. Companies will then only file patents for things that they really expect to make money from. You won't get shotgun patents and patent speculation occuring, because that gets very expensive very quickly.
What needs to be done is switch to smart cards that have a cryptographic handshake with MasterCard, Visa, etc. to approve the purchase. This way if the processor retains the data it won't do them any good. The data they got from the card would only be good for that specific purchase. I believe that Amex Blue does this.
Just because you write it down doesn't mean that it has to be left out in the open. Write it down and lock the piece of paper in a desk draw or if you are really paranoid, or a password for a high security system, in a small safe.
The term Politically Incorrect actually came from Germany during the time that the Nazi were in power. Scientific research was suppressed because it did not fit the ideology of the Nazi party. This research is politically incorrect by the original usage of the term, as well as the more modern usage.

Your username seem particular appropriate for this article. Your love of spicy food might explain it.

It is also the chemical that makes you feel good when you have an orgasm.
Additionally, it is also responsible for starting labor in pregnant women, and a synthetic form (Pitocin) is used to induce labor.
It turns out according to the Apple sales database they sold exactly 65,535. :)
And I thought that this was going to be a Robotic Snake mod.
