Clearly the answer is to install a vast array of solar panels which are tasked with generating the power to cool off the reservoir that is heated by the nuclear reactor that is backed by the damn! (Tongue firmly in cheek, I'm sure there is a reason why no amount of solar could possibly be used to cool a reservoir such as where do you put the heat, etc.)
At least in my corner of the world, the entire job interview process is conducted on a first name basis, from the HR recruiter to the hiring managers and employees that you work with. I found this somewhat disconcerting in a process that is somewhat adversarial, but the professional world that I live in largely does not use formal titles in communication. This may be different for different industries of course, but if college is to prepare you for anything it is to understand the culture that you are interacting with and adapt.
Daylight savings changes the clock during the summer, not during the winter. Arguments about use of sunlight during the winter misunderstand the nature of daylight savings time.
Are you really claiming that "roughly coordinated" is at much less than 1 second resolution? If I understand correctly the maximum discrepancy would be half a second to occur at the actual point that the leap second is applied plus any normal deviation of the time systems. For most applications this is acceptable. Anything that is failing to fly or exploding due to this level of difference in time has bigger problems than the time servers being slightly off and is an accident waiting to happen. It would seem that such a sensitive application should be able to determine and adjust to a skewed time from an external source regardless of the reason.
Further the bugs introduced in the timing logic of numerous applications that don't care so much about timing, just that their clock agrees with the world, makes this the right answer for most applications. For what its worth it sounds like the right answer is to have smeared and non-smeared servers, with the smear period using the same period for the smeared servers. If you need precise time make sure your system can handle a 61 second minute and use the special case non-smeared servers.
Not to back up the "all success is luck" meme but I would put it like this. There are any number of people who might have the skill to write a kernel. His "luck" was being the one who put in the work at the right time, caught the attention of other like-minded individuals to make it a community effort, and very effectively filled the niche that needed to be filled at the time. Without him it is fairly likely that another project would have eventually emerged, or that BSD would have been what people rallied around. And we'd then know another personality or group of personalities or company as the face of the open source operating system. That is not to say he doesn't have a crazy amount of skill. But that skill and that "luck" don't necessarily make his opinions infallible especially on something as asinine as this.
That said, you don't like his management style don't work with him or with a company that requires you to work with him.
Really? Maybe the second could be considered obstruction, but in the first case you'd hold that once one has any concern about anything ever viewed online that it is forever illegal and a crime to delete? Who would you even go to if you wanted to clear yourself to repurpose your computer? Would you have to hire counsel for an opinion regarding the legality of deleting anything regarding the acts in question?
Regardless of whether it is or is not actually illegal, it shouldn't be a crime short of being under an active investigation. I'd go further and require an actual injuction to be issued prohibiting your free exercise of your rights to your own property. The destruction may be used as circumstantial evidence at best, which would be weighed against whatever plausible motivations you advance for your actions.
Spideroak allows online viewing via web interface. Anytime you use the web interface, however, you give up the zero knowledge portion as they need your password to decrypt the files. Also there is a shared folder feature that allows you to create a separate share password to give out to other people for a folder. Presumably use of this feature also gives up on the zero-knowledge at least for that folder.
One cannot say that it is simply a small minority that support inaction. The entirety of the economy is based on people buying stuff and despite many experiments in what products are offered people will consistantly choose to save a dime rather than pay for things they perceive as unecessary. This encourages businesses not to care since their customers don't care. So yes, inertia be it political or economic is not at the 1% level. It includes the 90%.
This goes for issues of freedom (which are more important to me) as well as environment, so this isn't directed at any cause in particular... people just like to be comfortable.
The password generates the key. You essentially recreate the key when you install spideroak and enter the password in the new client. More interesting is that they provide a web interface and warn you that using it will decrease your security as your handing over your password for them to create the key in order to decrypt your files. Further they suggest account maintenance is done via the spideroak client for the same reason. Doing it via the web requires you to hand over your password to their webserver, which allows remote decryption.
So it is possible to have zero-knowledge encryption, you just have to be careful never to touch their webserver. That assumes, as others have pointed out, that their are no hidden backdoors in the software.
But the amendments to the consitution are not black and white. Whether you can stand it or not, a word like "unreasonable" is a variable word and a metaphorical yardstick must be used to figure out where unreasonable starts. Its hard to argue for any specific measure... current feelings, original intent, administrative whim? Centuries or jurisprudence has resulted in a system that I feel has missed the mark on many important issues, so I can't even put my faith in stare decisis as being a good basis for decisions.
At least original intent attempts to avoid some of the political pressures, poor reasoning, and quirks that have accumulated.
Its news only because people feel strongly about their preferred aspect ratio. The 21:9 aspect ratio is the story, not the physical monitor. I stubbornly cling to 16:10 for example and dislike the continual shrinking of the available vertical space. If they'd scale up past 1080 I might be able to get into a wider screen as it'd allow two decently sized tiled windows on one monitor. That is not the trend though and I hope that this particular aspect ratio does not catch on.
Chances are an aftermarket ECU will be used to get around those cases. As more of the system communications is encrypted more will have to be modified to be able to use the car, but the basic components of the car will be intact. This solution might work fine for the collector. The individual who just wants to fix their car will more likely pay a lot more to a dealership or highly specialized repair shop, however.
Maybe for software in active development. I've dealt with million line projects where small teams may have developed a part of the project (a library in your case), but had subsequently brought it to maturity and left. The people who came later, such as myself, could fall back on domain experts to tell us what the code should do but might be expected to learn an area to maintain it that we'll not likely touch again.
I wouldn't say horribly horribly wrong... just a different type of a software project at a different level of maturity than yours. In those cases any kind of tools that help navigating and understanding the system are most welcome. Falling back to windows textual find tools is a bit painful.
The federal law trumps state law when the constitution gives the federal government power to legislate on that area. A treaty trumps federal law, when there is a conflict... however, A treaty does not trump constitutional law: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reid_v._Covert
If in fact election law is reserved to the state then short of a constitutional amendment the federal government shouldn't have power to regulate how a state chooses to run its elections and the supremacy clause doesn't enter into it because the power was not delegated to the federal government in the first place.
I've been an AMD purchaser for years. As mentioned previously when you look at cost of processor + cost of motherboard the best performance per dollar is almost always in AMDs favor for low-mid range systems. At this point, however, the difference in the power used between comparable systems is getting harder to ignore. For a system that is on all the time there is a big difference between an Ivy Bridge 65 watt and a Phenom II 125 watt. And while that is the max, the idle states have a similar gap.
I really would like to buy AMD if anything to avoid the above situation where Intel has no true competitor. That is good for no one. But unless intel gets arrogant and raises its prices before its done driving AMD out of the desktop chip arena, I don't see a way for them to recover.
Speak for yourself. Tried git for a small project. It may be that I just didn't understand the push's properly, but as it was explained a gatekeeper would have to merge all pushes into the central repository. This seemed like an unnecessary burden when work is naturally segregated into modules and sharing needs to occur regularly. That and the commit with a merge somehow managing to put diffs into the file and I never quite trusted it to handle merges again.
Working with svn now and I'm much happier. Possibly just matches our admittedly simple workflow much better.
I'm curious what your conclusions were... mine were inconclusive based on an admittedly limited sampling: http://www.cityrating.com/crime-statistics/colorado/ Aurora: In 2009 the city violent crime rate in Aurora was higher than the violent crime rate in Colorado by 39.22%. Colorado Springs: In 2009 the city violent crime rate in Colorado Springs was higher than the violent crime rate in Colorado by 45.04%. Denver: In 2009 the city violent crime rate in Denver was higher than the violent crime rate in Colorado by 70.98%.
It seems like other factors might be at play here.
This has been the argument out there... that the taxation power under this ruling is effectively unlimited. It is not clear to me, however, whether the bill of rights overrules the taxation power. I'd like to believe that "Congress shall make no law..." includes tax law. Thus you could not prohibit (via tax) speech, right to assembly, voting, etc. I guess we'll see when this trick is tried to prohibit some protected right.
Why not just have those TLDs resolve within the us, but require.gov.us to resolve outside the us? Likewise Australia could have.edu resolve to educational institutions within the country but require.edu.au outside. Of course that breaks the universality of the link, but the same could be said for phone numbers... once you leave the nation you need to tack on additional numbers to get to the same phone number. Internally the site would have to reference itself as the fully qualified name, of course.
Not true. National ID identity theft would simply be big business. By definition you cannot control all the hardware in such a scenario and so there would be workarounds.
In this case any rights that Sony would be trying to enforce come from a law which is provided by the state. If that law prevents you from exercising those rights then it is indeed the state interfering with your rights (perhaps on the behalf of the Corporation). To my knowledge you do not need to sign a contract with Sony in order to obtain a PS3, and without that contract you "should" retain all the rights associated with owning a piece of property. Notwithstanding copyrights which are written into the constitution the federal laws should grant Sony no special powers over your property. Sony should be left with only a copyright claim, which would be pretty weak.
Now I am not so naive to believe that the system works that way, but in short Sony should have no hold on your usage of your hardware. (Obviously since this case is in Germany a whole different framework applies, however.)
This freedom do not gives you the right to offend others. You have the freedom to say whatever you want, as long as you don't use this freedom to clearly offend someone.
And this is where we part ways. You cannot have the right not to be offended, even if the government says you do. Such a right (perfectly enforced) would lead to a society where noone could say anything to anyone for fear of offending them. And it wouldn't stop there as I personally know people who'd be happy to take there offense at the slightest smell to a judge. Wearing the wrong cologne today?
The bar must be set higher to have logically consistent rules.
The original argument was that countries with socialized medicine would not have astronomical costs for the cash buyer. They shouldn't get it free, but the actual amount charged (to whoever is actually paying for the device) is what is at issue here.

True you don't get encapsulation, but its still object oriented.
