I've decided to put up with two more years of closed phones to have Verizon's nationwide CDMA coverage area. AT&T and T-Mobile are making gains, but still aren't quite to the point of GSM/3G coverage that serves my needs. Let's see what the next two years bring. OpenMoko may play a role in my future cell phone usage, but not this year.
Obviously. The gent is working in a futures directorate. His job is to try to define what the Army will be looking at in cyberspace 5-10 years down the road. He's not terribly involved in executing day-to-day cyberwarfare. However much the Army is doing in that regard.
"Lanes" are very important in the Army ethos. Everyone is skilled in their primary MOS and one doesn't question the experts on their areas of expertise. He was loathe to step outside his lane because stepping on another expert's toes is a mortal sin. This is closely related to "rice bowl" syndrome. In the Army one doesn't share much of anything outside one's own rice bowl. This is the explanation for having 80 MRAPs available on a post and still having one unit without MRAPs because their parent unit didn't provide funds for them. The "available" MRAPs are available only in a different rice bowl.
On a recent visit to an Army run camp in SWA, I noticed that one chow hall had run out of paper towels, but all the others had plenty. Two days later, the problem had not been resolved. When I asked why they didn't ask the other unit for some paper towels, I was told they were in a different unit. Apparently that's an adequate answer in the Army.
When does stopping spyware on your parents' computer become a means of encouraging solidarity rather than a personal privacy concern?
As soon as one realizes the positive impact it can have on our nation as a whole, both as an action and as an example.
(When) Will American companies realize that security vulnerabilities they introduce may impact the viability of the market that sustains them?
As soon as their bottom line is impacted by consumer action. I don't mean to impugn the ethics or patriotism of those working in corporations, but the bottom line is truly what drives corporate decision making.
Actions speak much louder than words. Cooperation is an individual choice. Lead the way!
Blasphemers! Model != Reality. The model is our best representation of how reality works. Models are never "proven," they simply have not yet been falsified or have only been falsified under specific conditions. The longer they stay unbroken, the more reliance we place on them. But, at no point do they become the reality they were created to represent. Recant, you unscientific rabble.
I did not find TFA very illuminating. Of course the topic was optically sensing the effects of Dark Energy which doesn't radiate, so maybe I wasn't supposed to be illuminated.
To the degree that the immune system responds to psychological conditions, I'm willing to agree. Though, I would argue that state of mind is a contributory, vice causal factor. A positive state of mind appears to elevate immune system response which aids healing. A negative state of mind appears to depress the immune system which impairs healing. In fact, we may one day discover that most types of cancer have a viral causation with a multitude of contributing factors, of which state of mind will be significant -- in that we can directly influence it -- but not unique.
To extend the meme, now I'll start development of C-Objective Kernel Editor (COKE). that will be followed by Linux Apache Tkl/Tcl Extensions (LATTE) which, of course, demands Folding On AMD Machines (FOAM). Sorry, but I'm too tired to come up with an acronym for marshmallows. ~
I would much rather have the engines remotely shut down or idled on a plane in flight, offering at least a chance at an emergency landing, than to have the plane summarily blown out of the sky. Most likely the "kill switch" would be engaged only so long as the craft remains on a threatening course. It would also be useful in preventing unauthorized/uncontrolled take-offs.
Lo-jack seems to have been fairly effective in stopping auto thieves. I don't really see an "After the Sunset" remotely hacked limousine scenario developing in real life.
Some might claim to have "invested" their time in WoW. Your use of the term "spent" seems more accurate. Wikitionary: Adjective spent 1. Consumed, used up, exhausted, depleted. ~
You may not always get what you paid for, but you will always pay for what you get (an expansion of Heinlien's TANSTAAFL principle).
Enjoy the ride, until you truly have to pay for what you get. Any New York lawyer will tell you "unlimited" anything is physically impossible and, thus, merely a marketing term. Your plan is "virtually unlimited," especially when compared to 2.4 kbps dial-up.
Increasing reliance on VoIP makes it essential to grade services and throttle in a reasonable fashion.

We're still trying to convince people that our species is older than a few thousand years.
Not to be disagreeable, but there's asbolutely no viable evidence of the geek species prior to the 20th century. Greek, yes; but geek, no.

No self-respecting military member will willingly post as "Anonymous Coward."

will they try to patent this new approach to patent troll avoidance (or is it a patent self-trolling joint venture)?
Since I don't have a Facebook account, I must be playing "hard to get."
400 posers follow citysense, turn up at an early morning mega-church meeting and discover religion does not mix well with hangovers.

I believe the Laverne and Shirley combination of Pepsi and milk would be as close as I've seen.
You'll never know until you try one. Good luck ordering one at Starbucks, Caribou, etc.
In this case, I'll assume you meant "Found The Words." Thanks.
Don't you people have better things to do?

Since it's Cocoa-like, we have to rename it Carob. Quick, somebody get their acronym generator going!
Too slow! Already taken.
Why would I want to eradicate cancer in mice?
Because capricorn has already been eliminated and the mouse zodiac is completely out of balance, you insensitive clod.

The new plasma. Pay $20 bucks per donation and winos everywhere will be happy to donate, so long as they have the right granulocytes.

True, but about 10% of floating ice is displacing air instead of sea water.
