Does anybody else think Snow Leopard is the worst OS name ever? It makes me want to punch their faces. If everyone named their products like Apple OS's we'd have names like "Transparent Windows, Windex Edition" "Open Faced Palm OS" "Robot Android" "Linux Antarctica, the Penguin Power Build"
Smoke cigarettes. If you're unsure on whether this is a good idea, consult Bill Hicks (rather, his recordings - he is dead).
Also put a lot of sugar in your coffee to get your ATP, and then drink it all day to block your AMP. This also keeps something in your stomach. When you get hungry, drink more of it. Maybe eat lunch but not breakfast, and then have a small dinner, but stay busy to avoid vegetation. Don't forget beer or eggs for protein, multivitamins, iodized salt. Try to sleep on a predictable schedule, even if it's just 5-7 hours.
Back in the day when I was working general support, I was hauling computers everywhere, which helps. Just carry a mid-tower around with you all day, and then occasionally open the case and close it - just for exercise...

- Right. Ok. Today we'll be testing the new iPhone's durability.
-...In Fire! (Pulls out flamethrower, iPhone obviously melting, then it explodes)
(British guy drops iPhone into a concrete enclosure)
- Grenades! (Drops a grenade in with it)
(Scenes begin to switch faster, showing the iPhone blowing up over and over in each scenario)
- Lasers!
- Sharks!
- Sports!
- Cars!
- Molten Lava!
- (Then cuts to a scene where someone is just talking on the phone or using an app - a boring 5 seconds) Consumers!
- Judges show their ratings: 10, 8, 9, 8, 1.2 (Germany)
Its when companies become powerful enough to force these retarded decisions on their user base - that's when they are just about to crumble. This is bad news.
I've had trouble playing Civ4 when two players are behind the same NAT firewall and the third is connected remotely. If Starcraft 2 has similar issues, I won't play it.
If someone wanted to make money on this they could create a domain reg. service that registers all available tld's automatically, both as already owned tlds become available and as new tlds are introduced.
I don't think the ICANN would be happy about it, but it would be valuable for corporations that want to protect their brand.
Unless, that is, if ICANN creates a ".sucks" or ".iscrooked" tld. (http://apple.sucks)...Profit !
Then use your goddamned fingerprint reader.
Seriously though, I like this guy. His arguments are clear and they make sense. This isn't pitting security against usability at all, because masking isn't secure anyway.
One omitted fact is that client scripts can capture your input on these fields, which could be a security hole. I'd like to see a password textbox that is inaccessible by client script, but visible in clear text. I would bet that out of all the websites you/I use, there are many that don't protect against XSS.
They should sell full versions (not upgrades) of every OS they've ever built for $35 (OEM only, no end user support).
Then sell their current release at $60 upgrade / $70 new - and offer their genuine validation service at $35 to convert illegitimate installs to new keys.
If it was $60 or $70 I would think, "Oh that's just about 1.5 tanks of gas. So I'll take a Win 7, 4 xp's, a 2000, and just for kicks give me one '98." There's $280 for MSFT, and I would actually feel satisfied that it was a fair purchase.
The only reason why I bought a legit copy of XP was because eventually nothing useful would install without having sp2 updates. The only reason why I will upgrade is either lack of 3rd party development, or significant performance benefit from new OS's.
The only reason why I bought Office 2007 was because it was on sale for a while, at about $50 (student) for the full version.
You are forgetting that if energy prices go up, so does the cost of solar panels. Current solar panel technology will always be a wash, because it takes as much energy to produce them as they will gather in their entire lifetime.
The only benefit is in baseless government backing, so if you make enough money to offset the cost in tax breaks, it works. There is certainly value in knowing you will have power - but there are much better ways to get it.
I takes about as much energy to produce a solar panel as it will generate in it's lifetime. It's not "going green" at all, just an intelligent way of passing off an expensive product to a populace that doesn't understand.
Shielding from heat while generating power with solar panels in the summer makes great sense, but that is a niche solution for one energy problem.
We don't need to teach CS in any engineering sense in K-12. I think a discrete math class as an alternative to precalculus would have been very useful for me. Or an Assembly class, that would have been very cool.

Let's fight back. I bet half their shit could be taken down too. Oh wait - I'd have to learn Mandarin. Nevermind.
Actually we're only 2 years away. Robots are supposed to take over sometime in 2013, according to the Mayan calendar.
I read "one way trip" and assumed it must have something to do with Arnold Schwarzeneggar's eyes popping out.
I would do this in a heartbeat.

Nuke your old hard drive from the orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

A day in the Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! I LOVE the Corps!

Nevermind. It wouldn't.
I wonder if load could cause them to explode? If you short circuit this thing, will the heat eventually rupture the membrane?

I'm working in IT in Alaska, and it's super badass. There is very little competition, and lots of idiots, so if you know your stuff you're good to go.
