... maybe people wouldn't bother to bring their own. Maybe they should have gotten the IT people that put together the networking at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium to consult.
The NFL seems to have figured out that these types of events are social as much as anything and the fans like to share the experience. The fans sharing this stuff is as much advertising for the event as anything else, maybe more so. I seriously doubt that fans sharing a couple of minutes of video here and there of events is going to hurt the broadcasters. It's just bragging rights. "See. I was there!! I took these pictures!!"
I had some sympathy, but not much, when I thought this might have to do with the logistical issues of official communications for the Olympics, but this, if accurate, is just lame.
The Space Race had been pretty much over for nearly 10 years before the Star Wars program (Strategic Defense Initiative) that the Russians overextended themselves attempting to counter.
I think some competition is probably good, for both sides. I think most of the advancements we, and the Russians for that matter, have made in space so far are largely based on the competition of decades past. Since the competition ended, both sides have done a lot of stagnating.
Naw. Updates. It used to be easier to get updates for both windows and linux there. I think, in part, due to the time difference. Their servers weren't getting hammered ad badly as others at a time that was convenient to me. I used to visit Planet Mirror pretty regularly.
First time I ever encountered IP blocking was attempting to go to Australian & New Zealand Websites from my location in the US. Admittedly, it was a few years ago...
I always thought to to be patentable, something had to be either new, or a new way of using what's out there. Frankly, I see nothing here that should be patentable.
There are a lot of Republicans that need to catch up on technology. One would think that by now they'd have figured out why Obama likes his Blackberry so much that the Secret Service had to figure out how to let him keep it. He's likely doing the same thing. There are likely a bunch of Rebublicans w/ Blackberrys out there reading the news and looking at their devices going, "Say what...?".
Anybody remember a couple of years ago when one of the Middle-Eastern countries, maybe Saudi?, was banning anybody carrying Blackberrys into the country unless Rim provided their security people a back door into the devices? Only a couple of reporters at the time noted that they only asked for back doors into Blackberrys. Not Windows, nor Apple, nor Android.
I have long thought that Blackberry had the best security features going. The only one I see that might be catching up is Android. Mostly because government security agencies are taking advantage of the fact that Android is, or is mostly, open source and they can rework the code to do what they need. They have also be giving back, much the way they did w/ SELinuix.
BTW - While I am a registered Republican, I concider my self a conservative first.
Depends on the airport. At larger airports, even the taxiways are concrete. The heavier the aircraft serviced, the thicker the concrete. Many, maybe most, runways & taxiways are topped with some inches of asphalt. The asphalt is largely sacrificial.
A highway engineer of my acquaintance told me that in states such as California it's common to use concrete topped w/ asphalt for intersections and a distance out to support the vehicles stopped for traffic lights. If you want to see what happens to heavily traveled intersections where they don't use concrete, come to Anchorage. We have a few that are a nice washboard;)
I have pretty much changed over to doing everything on my smart-phone. I won't mention the brand here, but its the one w/ the webtop and laptop docks available. It does pretty much every thing I need, but I am not a gamer or an audiophile or some of the other things mentioned here. I am a Real Estate Agent that happens to have a background in computers and electronics from a previous life.
I have one desktop still running, mostly as a bit of a server. I still make use of it's desktop capabilities every now and then. I've gone as much as 2 weeks without firing up the desktop side of it though. My most recent laptop seems to be dying and at this point, I'm not so sure I will replace it.
I saw where someone posted here that the telephone with it's centrally located battery system was going to be a much more reliable way of communications device than cellphones and their reliance on the grid in the event of a major power outage. I guess they weren't paying attention a couple of months ago when someone posted a link on Slashdot to an article about how AT&T has been working on converting everything over to VOIP. Whether you like or use AT&T, they are still the Big Dog and are likely setting the tone for this on what's to come.
My phone, my laptop dock, and my tablet (once I get one), all being batter powered, are likely not going to be to difficult to charge off a couple of solar cells. Neither are devices like Kindles. Most of our central phone systems are still battery backed up. Even cellphones towers are battery backed as any more they are considered essential in the case of an emergency.
The last thing. While the telephones may have a central battery to supply a ring voltage, all the switching gear to route that telephone call needs power as well. Let's not forget all the multiplexers and De-multiplexers. There was a day when telephone switch gear just connected my copper to your copper, That day is a couple of decades gone. The only thing the battery backups really do anything for now days is the local area in case a neighborhood sub-station goes down. Anything larger and telephones will likely be out for a significant area as well.
Doctors and gun shop owners get charged & convicted of those things pretty regularly. I believe in the 2nd Amendment and own several guns (not all for hunting either). If I were stupid enough to sell one knowing it was intended to be used in the commission of a crime, I would be expecting a knock on the door.
Overhearing them saying it is enough to stop the sale. The Apple employ was in the right. Once s/he hears it is intended to be exported to a prohibited destination, that employee needs to stop and make certain it's OK before proceeding.
This is something that companies have been having to watch for for years. A company I used to be part owner of had issues with this in the early 1980's when we were looking at exporting Z80 based devices to Asian countries.
In it's day, the Z80 could not be exported to certain counties.
I tend to agree here. I know that when we look at HP scanners, the stand alone scanners are difficult, if not impossible, to use under Linux. HP has released all kinds of stuff about the all-in-ones. I suspect this is something similar.
There was also the Philips Webcams a couple of years ago. Philips worked out something with that one former employee or contractor, don't recall which he was, to where he could release binary blobs that actually worked pretty well. The kernal people were pretty well up in arms over the situation and the hooks in the kernel for those binary blobs were coming and going for a while.
If this the case, I don't see why nViida doesn't just say so...
I have been using it for a while. It is generally fairly easy to set most home routers to get their DNS from OpenDNS. Once it's set up, all you computers on your home network get their DNS from there. It's fairly easy to choose from some pre-built blacklists. If the pre-built lists don't work quite right for you, it's pretty easy to whitelist and blacklist individual sites as needed.
You are exactly right. Just look at how college tuition started going up when we started getting all the government funded student loans. As the money supply increases, the suppliers of the goods and services hold out their hands for it. The availability of money has had a lot to do with the increase in prices of lots of things over the years; cars, houses, medical care, etc.
I think this may have been one of the first elections where exactly this happened. I know several people that told me the reason they were voting for Obama was because he was black and it was time was had we a black person as president. They had no other reason, that I could discern anyway, for voting for him. On the other had, I was being accused of not supporting him solely because of his skin color. This, even though I have a long track record of not voting Democrat. I vote for the person I think most closely matches my views (and yes, I think my views are what's best for the Nation), whatever his or her skin color is.
I switched to an Atrix 4g last year and have both the laptop & webtop docks for it. Between them and cloud services like Dropbox, Box.com and Google Docs, I have almost quit using my desktop and laptops altogether.
Something like this would give me an option other than Motorola. Motorola is OK, but I like having options.
If you need the capability of letting you make phone calls and accessing the internet simultaneously, make certain you can do so with your provider. I am under the impression, but do not know for certain, that providers using CDMA do not have that capability (unless the phone is connected through a nearby WAP). My provider is using GSM and I have no problems doing so.
I agree with checking out the private schools. I have 2 friends teaching there and I don't think you could pay them to go back to the public system. One is a math teacher, one a science teacher.
...and taken away their means of protecting themselves.
The crooks will still have their guns.
Of course, this will run up the crooks cost of obtaining guns and ammo, but they'll all kinds of unarmed victims to choose from. They shouldn't have to much trouble coming up with the necessary extra funds.

Do I have to play a game until I hit a [particular] score?
First time I ever encountered IP blocking was attempting to go to Australian & New Zealand Websites from my location in the US. Admittedly, it was a few years ago...
So. If I have 1,000 phony Facebook accounts... Say, everyone at my local cemetery. They each get one vote?

This sounds like it might be an extension of the technology behind the Earth Inductor Compass that's been around since the early 20th century. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_inductor_compass
