Well, everyone can get an IPv6 address now through Hurricane Electric. If the kids start using it then everyone else will follow. You don't need to legislate restrictions on technology - only provide the better alternative. Once the pressures of using old tech become higher than switching it will naturally occur.
Charging for IP addresses is a fantastic idea in this regard. So is draconian state wire-tapping. Better to have people walk away in disgust than to feel romantic about the "good old days."
I wish *THIS* was the nation's political philosophy - because *THIS* is how our nation can grow and mature.
We should all be opportunistically using every political tool we can to get what we want. Political power in the USA is not wholly concentrated in any one person's hands - but one person can make a big difference when given the purpose and support to do it.
Rand Paul isn't going to eliminate the national debt, bring forth the next apocalypse, or clone Ayn Rand - but give the man enough support to overwhelm the Senate and he can chop the TSA.
I donate to the ACLU, the NRA, and public radio. I'm coaching baseball and I'm also teaching classical violin and piano. It's not all or nothing - it's finding a balance of good. There are 6 billion different opinions in this world - it's impossible to agree with everything - so instead find what you think is good and support it.
We have information from the EPA which concludes that the turning-point for the autism boom started in 1988.
This coincides with the decade when many vaccines distributed were newly manufactured from human fetal tissue rather than chicken, pig and other cell lines. For some diseases there is no other option - the varicella virus will only grow in human tissue. Considering what we know about Kuru, BSE, Creutzfeldt-Jakob and other same-species prion diseases it isn't a big surprise that problems can occur along these lines.
So perhaps some of the vaccines contain DNA/RNA/Prion type impurities which are interfering with the neural stem-cells during development. Or perhaps other types of prions are being propagated through human milk, formula, medical equipment or other vectors. Prions are not destroyed during pasteurization and they can have long-lasting latencies. Most labs won't deal with prions as they are highly resistant to sterilization.
Yup - I wrote the CC software for a major retailer and we definitely sent purchase categories for a few items if we could get a discount on our bill.
We didn't send in every record though - and our interface into the transaction processor didn't have the capability to do 19 categories, only three or four.
And it's possible that they've simple oversubscribed and the latency is simply the router stuffing packets as fast as it can through the uplink. It could be a bad routing table, but not as likely.
You need to do a 24 hour ping test and see if the latency has peak times or if the time is constant - this will usually tell you a lot and can be used when you speak with the provider.
The Church has always lived within the rush of humanity. That it is affiliated with child rape says much more about western culture than it does about the church, if one looks at teachers, coaches, youth leaders and of course priests you will see that they all fall percentage wise into similar numbers of child predators.
In other words it's a lot like saying Democrats are criminals, because more blacks vote Democrat, and blacks have the highest incarceration rate. There's a HELL of a lot of "ism", assumption and ignorance in that statement - similar to your own comments.
You might look at some game engines, they have decent GUI's these days and are designed to handle large data sets. They usually have multi-lingual support also so you can work in a few languages.
I did a few projects in Irrlicht and ogre3d and was really impressed - I was able to work in Java, C# and C++ in the same project with some work and message passing.
Don't get me wrong - I love the idea of a wide-open creative environment. But I'm also a software developer who has worked in science, journalism and various businesses - and when you're marketing a message to business you have to understand the mentality and value of productivity.
You can't market a product as a creative environment to general business period. They will buy two for their marketing and graphics departments. That's it. Apple labored for years to move the Mac from a creative product to a consumer product. Same thing with Commodore Amiga, and thousands of other great products.
Most businesses operate essentially as habitual processes - they do something over and over again and make money. The lasting businesses out there have learned to adapt and change these habits, but it's incremental and slow.
If you want to sell into a business, you need to have a base of functionality that supports those habitual processes. I'm not sure how that would be for the Courier, but hopefully you can see my point.
I got out before interconnect became monetized - we looked up numbers by prefix and shot those messages out by email to the subscribers's gateway. Obviously, this was before number portability... I didn't realize they were charging so much for interconnect!
It was a disaster waiting to happen. While it was certainly cool in the eye-candy department, it relied heavily on handwriting recognition which is still pretty bad. Until you can OCR 99% of the handwriting out there, this is way too cumbersome to have to fix mistakes every few words.
Secondly, the journal is cool and all - but how do you index all that information? An interface that uses handwriting naturally penalizes the tagging of that information. Secondly,there didn't seem to be a way to organize journals into folders and books - I don't want random friends going through my creative thought stream or notes about my bank loan. A bit of common sense security would have gone a long way.
Lastly, Courier relied heavily on free-form design and data management. This appeals greatly to artist and visual type folks, but the other 50% of people out there want to have forms, tables and structure. Adding the ability to build structure would have greatly enhanced the experience.
Essentially, it costs just as much for the carrier to offer SMS to a person who texts once a month as it does to offer that service to someone who sends 10,000 texts a month.
That's not true at all - I've built messaging systems in telecom and delivering texts reliably and swiftly is a fairly large proposition. First, there's protocol gateways that must interconnect with wireless, email and web systems. Secondly, there's the network of fault-tolerent messaging systems that are custom-developed and maintained by a team of developers and network admins. These systems are spread out geographically and are expected to be available 100% of the time.
The texting load is actually pretty small, peaking around 2600 texts/second in a large metropolitan area. But delivering a message reliably means that you need on-site staff and equipment designed for reliability.
That said - it sure as hell isn't worth 25 a pop. I think 5 or 10 cents would be pretty high. As it is, texting is pretty much gravy profit.
You are (mostly) correct, sir. However, message passing is certainly being used on all new developments rather than IPC. Certainly there has been a long-term adherence to RTOS development in military avionics, but commercial avionics has moved strongly to VM based systems as the recovery is faster and debugging critical software components is easier. Additionally, hardware can be allowed to advance without requiring total rewrites for software.
I've already seen java run on the F-35 platform - and I'm pretty sure you'll see much more as time goes.

Amen brother! Volcker put a spike in that disinflation vampire heart.
It was certainly painful, it hurt a lot of people. but it made good policy and likely saved us from zombie banking.

Perhaps he's thinking of blood plasma?
Grammar - it saves lives! ;-)
I actually do this with my kids toys. Snip the wire or throw in a resistor and suddenly it gets much quieter. Not paranoia, just hate loud noise.
I'd like to have seen Jaime Murray appear in the series, maybe as a companion from future. I also hope they do more historical fiction.

Not always true - if you used your loyalty card, or a mailed coupon then we easily linked your purchase back to your main records.
"Look Dad - this one's free!" appeals to every Dad who just spent hundreds of dollars on stuff they left on the lawn or on the floor of the bathroom.
But wouldn't erlang would have separate functions for each callback? Everything else is very similar.
Another architecture this looks similar too is the X Toolkit event library...

They should check the damn cables... the antimatter timer is off by 60 picoseconds again.
In the UK, but here ya go... eat a british keyboard.
Teachers union official says teachers who have consensual sex with pupils should not face prosecution

Here's some state schools that had abused children for decades...
In Seattle, state school for the deaf had decades of abuse:

Canadian state school, 40 years of reported abuse:

New York state school, another 40 years of abuse:

Recent scandal in LA, confirmed 175 kids abused for years, more expected

Check google for teacher abuse and you'll find about hundreds of active cases being reported in the news. According to the best statistics we have, about 10% of children are sexually abused at schools.

I prefer to feed at the trough of ignorance myself - it's cheaper and always seems to go down easier.

Agreed - during my worst sinus infections I crave Thai food and horseradish.
The only thing medicinally that has worked for me is the cortisone shot, but that's not a viable long-term solution.
