Shrub tried to repeat his daddy's 'Mars Mission' publicity stunt, and with even less success.
OMG - that's the first time I've seen "Shrub" used in that context and I just lost my morning tea all over the desk because of you...well played, oh to have mod points today...
I want AirPlay from my iPhone to the screen in my car - let me run my maps app on the phone and have the display and interface control only in the car...now that would be killer and would let you follow the smartphone upgrade curve.
Don't take down comms, take down power in a way that doesn't allow it to come back up quickly/cleanly and then you will see the real carnage. Just look at NYC for an idea of what can happen...
Right.....Barely. The iPhone 5 was announced 9/12, preorders started 9/14 and the first units were delivered on 9/21. The quarter closed on 9/30, so selling (shipping?) 6 million units (according to the article) in the last 9 days of the quarter clearly shows it was a "DUD" at 666,666 units per day on average. Samsung sold 18M units of the S3 in the 92 days of the quarter so clearly it was superior at, wait, 195,652 units per day on average. Oh wait, it wasn't, nice try...
Nationwide service radio system? Likely a SAT-phones. Not cheap to use, but if you have a real major emergency (* except for strong X-class solar flares/CMEs in the direction of Earth:), they will usually get thru when all other forms of communication are failing...
First rule : don't build a data center at a location that gets week-long power outages.
Building down in that area is pretty much for one reason only: length of the fiber run to wall street. In a world of nanosecond trading, every mile you are away from Wall Street means that much more of an advantage someone else has over you. Is it extremely risky/expensive to build in these locations? Hell yes. Is it likely financially worth doing so? Hell yes.
There are costs to doing business, this is just one you have to factor in and see if the overall risk/reward equation works out (I'm betting it does for these folks)
Most small/personal (portable) generators use UNLEADED gasoline (or if you are really smart, you have one hardwired in to your property fed from propane or natural gas) whereas the big commercial ones use diesel, so even if they wanted to "share" it with the masses, it would be mostly useless...
I've found packages to be reliable too, but not regular 1st class mail...packages go through a different system than the auto-sorters for 1st class mail.
That is assuming you can get a GPS signal to where your computer is located - I've seen absolute CRAP reception in many buildings (even putting the GPS receiver ON the inside of the windows, if there is film on them, you commonly will see zero or only 1-2 birds in the constellation, not enough to get a consistent lock for most receivers) and running a pulse trigger or USB down from the roof usually isn't an option (although sometimes it is).
One could argue they learned their lesson from Katrina....then again one could also argue that last time we have a (R) in office and this time we have a (D). I think both arguments might be at least partially true...
Um, where??!? The only 'Signature' option I see on mine is at the top level Accounts screen (between the Increase Quote Level and Default Account options), there are no Signature options in the per-account area...
Multiple email account support, unified or separate.
This is half-assed IMHO. I've used an iPhone for several years now and still one of my biggest pet peeves is the single signature block that is global to all email accounts (this is a PITA if your work requires some standard boilerplate garbage that must be on every email but you really don't want that crap on your personal emails as well). They finally did do one thing right and break up / allow assignment of the outgoing SMTP servers on a per account basis (tied to accounts) so you don't route your personal email via work, but even that took a while. If they would just make ALL of the settings PER ACCOUNT instead of having some global, then life would be much better...
You don't want to do this for a gaming setup, it will impact performance...if all this computer is going to be used for is gaming, don't worry about security beyond Microsoft Security Essentials. Just remember, if something seems fishy, wipe and reinstall, it doesn't take that long...
Real gamers disable swap all together on their gaming rigs i the first place - you don't want the disk slowing you down ever while playing and physical memory is cheap...
Not to mention I can buy a $5 one, or if I wanted to really go hog-wild, a $75 plush leather one....doesn't appear to be an option at all on the Surface, so even fewer choices/options. The whole article is a farce.
Not to be pedantic, but this COMPLETELY depends on window size and screen resolution, so yes, you may have to scroll down. Had to scroll down to even get to the text entry bar just the other day on my parents desktop (bad eye sight == 640x480 mode screen, large default fonts, and a window that was not full screen sized anyway).

There are systems that can already do this for mortars - calculate mid-flight and attack back before the next round can be lobbed into the air...

True, but good luck as it's pretty much banned everywhere: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetraethyllead

But then again, it could have been lost in the USPS too (though I think that is rare these days).
OMG - I just spit my coffee everywhere...that was the funniest thing I read all morning (the being rare part :)
Most kiddie-porn statutes do not require ANY intent, just simple possession is enough to get you busted.
Interesting notions but you assume that the lawmakers actually care about common sense.
They don't. They care about keeping their palms greased.
WRONG metaphor to use with this story, now it will take a few strong drinks to get that mental image out of my head...

Like any piece of software, it will take a while before it is provably secure.
Provably secure? *snicker*

Nevermind, I see they expanded under that option....that didn't use to be there, when did it show up?

No, it's not.
There are plenty of changes in the iOS 4.3 version that never made it to that repository. Changes that Apple are contractually required to publish.
There, fixed that for you...

Um, most ISPs do this too, they just call it something else :)
