False. If it's supported by CLI, any user can script it and build a GUI easy, suddenly you don't need to type any commands on the CLI.
Conversely, if it's only supported by a GUI, we're in a really shitty state. If that feature is a complete waste of time and should be automated, we have to spend hours looking for ways to hack the internals rather than just use the great and oldest API.
I don't really think that is really an accurate description either. Rather, in Asimov's view autonomous robots would be completely uncontrollable without something like the three laws, and that even with the three laws there was still considerable danger to the operators.
Asimov's view was that if you tell a robot it can kill people, it's going to figure out a way to twist that into an order to kill you. You don't fuck around with telling robots to hurt people, it's just too dangerous due to the unintended consequences. You need to make sure that the robot is starting from purely altruistic intentions. I don't think it was a simple plot device, but a very considered belief.
It's not though. If they really sent a blanket threat to 10,000 people on the basis of one IP address, they are probably liable for significant damages in a class-action suit.
I would expect that not only would a hybrid drive have that problem, but you wouldn't be able to recover because it's hard-wired to pretend it's a single disk and you can't just fall back to using it as two separate disks if the controller that does the caching has a failure.
The funny thing is, Apple's products that compete with Microsoft's core products are shit. Have you ever tried to use OS X Server? It's impossible to administer well. Windows Server 2008 R2 is a fine system by comparison.
Apple flat out gave up on XServe, and what's more they've basically done the same with Office. Microsoft, in contrast, is still very much in the game when it comes to everything Apple and Google are doing.
Personally, I just want a notebook I can write stuff in that I don't have to worry about charging. You may be surprised to learn that some people like to write.
This is the first product that actually sounds like it could be that device.
Exactly backwards. IT already has access to all patient info since, I hope, it's being backed up.
Not at all. I haven't personally worked with such systems, but my understanding is that in modern heathcare systems, everything is encrypted with multi-factor authentication, and all IT has access to is encrypted snapshots. If the professor was working on some sort of research that was ongoing and needed a system, I could see making the decision that it was just a prototype, and the best way to keep it relatively secure for a few months of the project was just not to give anyone but a few tech-savvy medical people the keys (and not back it up.)
This obviously isn't such a case, but the fact remains that if IT has access to all patient info, you're not HIPPA compliant.
Sounds like poster is a professor. Probably with tenure. In any case, professors in technical fields need wide latitude in setting up computers to do their jobs.
That said, this doesn't sound like research, this sounds like something simple that IT should be taking care of. (Of course, that's not to say IT should be forced to implement it, they have their own priorities, etc.)
Only way poster has a leg to stand on is if this thing somehow touches patient info. Then I can see an argument for keeping IT out.
The point though was that the specific ordering of the laws was the most stable form. The one presented by Motorola here is supposed to be flawed because when the android is allowed to place its own safety above obeying the human, it is easier for it to do things that have unintended consequences. It's also suggested that the robots can subconsciously disobey the three laws, especially by pretending not to see unintended consequences.
If you're not using these 3 times as much as you're doing active things, I don't know how you know what's going on.
Sure, you occasionally run into the odd file that's only readable to root, but mostly you can see things well enough without touching anything before you decide what needs to be done. Then you say sudo just so you're clear about what you're doing.
But we don't want the males to have a shortened lifespan. We want the females to have a shortened lifespan, while the males live long and productive sex lives. That allows the number of bad genes in the population to grow until there are almost no females left.
I think they moved it to the Firehose so you have to put in a little effort if you want to tag a story (presumably to cut down on tags like cyberwarfareisbullshit)
Acoustic triggers are, by law, required on all offshore rigs in Norway and several other countries. Norway is, quite simply, the gold standard for sea drilling, and you have no idea what you are talking about.
In any case, SSL is responsible for securing all updates, OS or app. Break Google's SSL, you've compromised all of the features, and you're not going to bother installing a crippled Android app, because you have root on a full-fledged Linux handheld.
The line between OS version and app is entirely arbitrary, and Google is working to move more of the OS functionality into apps.
From a security standpoint, if Google has access to this, they have access to the OS anyway, installing/removing apps is not a big deal. They already have root on your device (and you don't.)
If your solution doesn't work in the latest Opera, Firefox, and Chrome, you're not developing for standards. You're developing for whatever browsers you're developing for.
If you are in a situation where you can dictate what browser your users use, you can do that, and I think it's fine to say that it can't be IE until Microsoft gets their act together. But the other three rendering engines - Presto/Webkit/Gecko - should be supported 100%.
It's not a solution in that it doesn't create a wide market where app developers can target at least a third of majority of mobile phone users. People want too much variety for Apple to grab that much of the market with only a handful of models.

Yes, of course, then the British and Swedish forces will eventually give up and go home when they realize it's a war that can't be won.

Had he been a patent hound, other people would have received the support he received, and he would be a nobody.
Half the cost of the RT-N16 is presumably the WiFi. And that's what I buy them for.

Whatever they did recently made it bearable. (Though yes, I had a good two years where Slashdot was unbearable to use.)

That's the "protect itself" part. Rated higher, of course, than obey the user.

I'm going to feel a lot less sheepish about my desire to fork any project I find on Sourceforge and throw it up on Github after this.
It's not reproducible. Even the reporter can't reproduce it. No shit it's not fixed.
I think they moved it to the Firehose so you have to put in a little effort if you want to tag a story (presumably to cut down on tags like cyberwarfareisbullshit)
What's the point of a single-use patch? I had a tetanus shot the other day, and needles are so thin now, I literally felt nothing.
Now, once the shot took the spot on my arm was sore for a few days, but the needle was absolutely painless.
This just seems like a less controlled and more expensive way to do the same thing.
