The thing with treaties is as follows: A treaty is for a start just a piece paper with a signature of the president. Legally it is worthless, until it is ratified by congress. When it is ratified by congress it becomes a federal law. And that means that it may invalidate any other law, like any new law may alter an existing one.
I don't know about this special case; but what you say is beside the point. Just because they dress nice and behave legally does not mean you can cut them slack. The reason Germany has problems to ban the rather nastier right wing parties is because they started to dress well and speak nice words in public. The are a party and thus as a result have special privileges, but the government handles those parties and any other by the book, simply to not set a precedent. If you start to make an exception for the OSCE people, that would set a precedent and next year some other group tries to wedge themselves in. The only right way to do it is to change he law to allow coordinated foreign observers.
Except that there are two technologies that make pat down irrelevant. The first is the good old "metal wand" and the other is the newer "electronic nose". Two devices that can be implemented into hand held devices (probably even combined). I have not flown through Britain for a while but there there they never touch you. Metal detector went bleep, then they tell you to step over and wand you; oh it was the belt buckle. Have a nice flight Sir. As far as I remember they are also deploying back scatter and terraherz scanners, but I still doubt they pat you down if that fails / you refuse the scanner. Why is the US in the stone age when it comes to security?!
I am one of the lucky ones to get a MSDN Develoepr Subscription payed by my company and thus I was able to play with Win8. It is totally true, for a desktop machine Win8 is near useless. All you get is metro as a glorified overbuffed start menu and that's it. Most of the applications you would use are desktop applications and that is like Win7 but with no areos theme. If you happen to only read mail and browse the web... there may be an argument, but all the people who do that will probably ditch their desktop for the next upgrade.
I would rather say willing. Microsoft has always tried to get the 80% of the market and simply ignore the remaining 20%. By targeting the IBM-Compatible market they got their 80% quite quickly. Only in the early days did they consider other platforms, but once the PC looked like the only remaining contender...
Whats the deal?! Modern SCADA systems are secure by them selves. (Save a few implementation flaws, like any other system.) The problem is that the installations often are ridiculously unsafe. You get things like the Industrial Ethernet being switched with the office network, default passwords, the SPS in program/run mode and the likes. The important thing to remember about SCADA systems is that physical security is also part of the deal, who cares about the SCADA systems when you can access the petro chemical plant directly. I think the entire issue is overblown after Stuxnet and every security researcher wants to pitch in.
The real weak spot are the engineering machines, which mostly run windows and are probably connected to the internet. You all know what that means. But apparently nobody ever considered this bit in the debate. Oh yea, how did Stuxnet work, yes it infected the engineering machines and altered the program and config. After that the program and config was totally valid in itself, thought not what it was originally meant to do.
I travel relatively often from Europe to the US and back. The funny thing is that I feel at home in both systems. I know 100F is hot in Texas and 40C in hot in Germany; but if you ask me how much 100F is in C, i need to get a calculator. You get used to it quite quickly. The same is with different currencies. When they introduced the Euro they where able to raise the prices of some products because people lacked a reference. Would people have done the conversion, they would have noticed the price hike, but people got used to the Euro and worked only in that frame of reference.
Except that at that point in time where we realize a working neural interface we will also have figured out how to cram so much data into the size of a fingernail that cloud (storage) becomes irrelevant. And cloud is not a great solution... He is such a smart person, until he loses connectivity.;-)
But "organic" was never about better products!!! It was ALWAYS about the ecological impact. It is about treating animals well, not killing non farm animals (e.g. insects) and ruining the land by doing massive mono culture and massive pesticide use. The better quality aspect came later, but it was never a focus of the movement. Why are we even debating it...
Same here; but also do that with UML. I do most of my diagrams on paper and they are not "pure" UML. It is a tool and you adapt the tool to the problem, not the problem to the tool. And that is why pen and paper or a whiteboard are so much more powerful than any CAD/Graph tool.
Yea but does that make them better developers? Thinking about a problem is the key discipline, what mental crutches you use and how you communicate the results is mostly irrelevant. I for one find mind maps of only little use and use a a structured text document written in markdown...
This was a scientific test reactor... The security is at the gate and they passed that. The actual room is totally safe. The "old" neutron test reactor of the TH-Munich could be visited. If you fell into the water you would need treatment; for desalination. That is they would rub you down with lotion, because the distilled water would remove the salts in your outer skin. Now the "new" one on the other hand can't be seen, but not because of radiation, but because it is a high pressure reactor. OMG I saw a nuclear reactor...
I started to read the newspaper; on my phone! Beforehand I never bothered to buy a newspaper or even get a magazine. Just getting it was to much effort. Now I have online subscriptions to newspapers and I read them on my phone. Now someone tell me that reading newspapers on the way to work is considered bad? At least now I don't punch my neighbor in the nose when opening a new page...
As far as I know Clear Case was one of the first to implement diff and merge for Office Documents... It has come to a more main stream thing; though I still don't understand want to put an office document into version control; actually use Office...
You can get a consultation with a layer, some do it for free, others want some fee; nevertheless you are talking about the 50-100 USD range. He then can tell you what your options are, if any and how much you must owe upfront for it.
The difference is that Google started with high ethics and suits are "letting is slip", Microsoft on the other hand started with the premises of making money, they view as ethics an asset that valued against each other. (If it makes them more money they are "ethical".)
I had a similar thought. Many have fought their daemons by writing about it. Can you curtail someone who writes about her own abuse? I think this is even worse. Now we throw you in jail, because you wrote about your own abuse... Muahahaha!
I just read the details of the Citizens United case. Still think the idea that groups of people don't have a voice, only the individuals in it is right; nevertheless I think the decision was wrong. Speech should never be limited.
A thought just occurred to me. How can "The New York Times" have an opinion that can be censored? Each article in the Times is written by a journalist (a natural person) and approved by an editor (a natural person). If you take all the natural persons out, all you have is a white paper. Each individual that works at the Times has a right to free speech and some of this speech is printed on dead trees.
The reasoning behind this, is that a collective never had a right to speech, simply by virtue that it can't speak. Even if a collective finds a consensus and the actual speech is done by one person. (How can change her mind in the last minute.)
Ok here is a question for you: Who is one of the biggest stockholders of Apple? Microsoft. Not Bill Gates, Microsoft. Sure the buy was probably strongly influenced by Bill Gates and technically it was done with some of "his money" (as he is a majority owner), but the actual stock is held by the cooperation.
Aren't most modern pirate engagement in rubber crafts? A fishing vessel won't cut it and anything else is to expensive. You just need to pierce some holes in the rubber and get on with your day.
Yes language is mutating, our you would not write in "English". Question: color or colour? It is only wrong as the majority or rather a significant minority think it is wrong. See also: History of the English language

THAT would be Chuck Norris

What is so bad about the metric system?

Not it is scientific! Smartphones lead to the downfall of humanity.
