SAP was around 18 years ago, but not well-known. And plus, being a German company, it probably would not have been the choice then for a US Defense Department project. Too many senators and congressmen would have howled about so much money being spent abroad, and not in their states and congressional districts.
Now, SAP is well-known . . . but I don`t think that many people really know what it actually does.
Congress constantly targets NASA for budget cuts...
Congress cuts NASA's budget when the money is not being spent in enough Congressional Districts. NASA isn't about space to Congress. To them it is about getting federal money spent where it helps them get re-elected.
So if the new space suit is constructed of components built in all 435 Congressional Districts, the budget for the suit will not be cut. Really simple, isn't it?
The 1st Congressional District of New Jersey, Camden County, gets to make the middle finger of the right hand! Youse guys gotta prowblem wid dat?
The great advantage of this solution, is that it will not require agreement and action among all nations. The current attempts to agree on a plan are all failing miserably, because there are too many nations with conflicting interests involved. Now, everybody just sits back and waits for someone else to do something.
Now if two nuke armed countries start squabbling, the rest of the world will not be able to agree on what to do about it. So the small scale nuclear war, will just happen by itself. No need for any agreement or an action plan.
"SSH" is definitely worthy of a design patent. Look at those "curved corners" of the "S" . . . artistically contrasted against the sharp corners of the "H".
A lot of creative intellectual property work went into that, and the creator should be rewarded with all rights to that.
The estate of the late Heinrich Himmler has challenged this in court, however.
Do people actually think they can get away with this?
They don't just think it, they actually do get away with it. Only folks who end up as the President of Romania or the Defense Minister of Germany get enough public attention that someone bothers to actually read their theses. I mean, it's not like they are written to be bestsellers or Hollywood film material. So given the small circle of readership, and the tiny time frame where someone might actually read it, it is easy for a lot of theses with dubiously cited material to go unnoticed.
'Fess up, y'all Ph.D.'s . . . how many people actually read your thesis? Extra bonus points go to someone whose professor didn't even read it.
Black Hat attracts a lot of "hang arounds" . . . journalists, and folks who just want to see who attends, and what they are talking about. So some folks in these groups might be more susceptible to a simple phishing attack.
Buying in bulk is usually cheaper than getting nickel-and-dimed to death with most stuff. Look at your supermarket per unit prices for King Size, Family Size and Holy Roman Empire Size packages. I'd rather see the service offered with daily, weekly, monthly flat rates instead of the old telephone pay-per-call system.
But I guess telephone companies like that system, because they ended up charging more for service than for flat rates.
In some of the intelligence pulled from his hideout, were a number of letters to his cronies about how to avoid drone strikes. Just the fact that he felt he needed to warn them seems to indicate that the strikes were effective.
I've got a better idea. How about attaching it to the two balls in the crotch of the user?
No idiot would lose them by leaving them around somewhere, and not be able to find them. But then again, nothing can be made foolproof, because fools are so ingenious.
Once again, humans are the weakest link in the security chain. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to adjust my shit. My USB stick isn't hanging right . . .
Few of Afghanistan's 30m people have a birth certificate, a second name or can read. Yet America's army and the Afghan government have collected digital records of more than 2.5m of them. Elsewhere such intrusions would have caused an outcry. But few Afghans, so far, have protested. American officers praise the technology as a helpful counter-insurgency tool: if opponents can be identified, they can be separated from the wider, law-abiding populace.
The data are passed on beyond Afghanistan, to America's army, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. Agreements to share data exist with dozens of allied countries. American soldiers in Ghazni once described scanning a dead insurgent, then two days later getting a call from the CIA to say that his record matched someone first scanned in Iraq. Yet as the system grows, so do worries about it. It is involuntary and shrouded in secrecy. It is easy to come across Afghans who claim that they were wrongly denied foreign visas or jobs after a biometric scan flagged up their presence on some watchlist. Evidence held against them is rarely divulged, nor is it clear how they can challenge it.
“There is a vetting process to be put on a watchlist,” says Sergeant-Major Robert Haemmerle, of the American army's Afghanistan biometrics programme. “It's not just a matter of ‘I don't like this guy'. There is a deliberate policy and process to ensure that people's rights are respected, that it's not abused.”
Yet those policies and processes are kept classified by NATO and America's Defence Department.
Jennifer Lynch, a lawyer at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a group based in San Francisco that keeps a watch on how digital technology encroaches on civil freedoms, also questions the quality of the data. She fears that scans done quickly in the field, or by inexperienced technicians, could lead to cases of mistaken identity.
But the more people who are scanned, the more powerful the database becomes.
But it's not like the US is scanning everyone who enters the country, and adding them to this database . . .

What a great idea . . . although, I guess Facebook already does that.
They were very successful at convincing their users to buy their stock.

Now that would be interesting, if they started tracking those . . .
That ought to get the spooks annoyed.

Didn't SCO lose all of theirs as well, and we are still hearing about new SCO court rulings . . . ?

Just program it up to drive to the car wash, drive through it, and drive back home.
If Google adds functionality enabling it to pick up stuff at fast food drive-ins, we're all set for life.

When I need a keyboard, I use one of these critters with my N9: http://rapoo.com/showdetails.aspx?P_No=E6300
Maybe it enables you do "un-hear" people you don't want to hear? You know, automatically turn down the volume when people you don't like speak?
There not real people! They're made of silicone and rats' hearts!
This will definitely revolutionize the plastic surgery industry. Watch their silicone boobs dance in electric fields!
This sounds like a National Enquirer title story to me.
Get one of these: http://www.asus.com/Networks/Wireless_Routers/WL330N3G/. Hack OpenWrt to fit you needs, and flash the router with that. It's small and discrete enough to go unnoticed when set up and left somewhere, like behind a curtain, plugged into a forgotten Ethernet port in a wall somewhere. Power it with one of these: http://www.philips.co.in/c/cell-phone-accessories/universal-dlm2262_97/prd/.

A new international linear collider (ILC) would need to be built to reach the energy levels needed to make the Higgs.
. . . so we built a billion dollar ring, that told us, that we need a straight line . . .
Brilliant!
So can I save on air conditioning, by having a cold political ideology in the summer?
And save on heating costs, by having hot political ideology in the winter?
Ballmer's got 'em, after all.
No, he makes them . . . Vista . . . Windows Phone 7 . . .
That's why I wrote "sense of safety" instead of straight up "safety".
Then, instead, how about, "sense of lack of sense" . . . ?
