Of course this makes sense. Didn't you realize that this is the same logic used to justify the long standing practice of classifying hotels as power, water, and sewage utilities, as well as TV broadcasters, farmers, ranchers, etc. What is the difference?
True story that I witnessed myself: When a woman is about to deliver vaginally, there is a drape under her with plastic bags to collect the amniotic fluid and keep it from splashing all over the MD/midwife's legs and feet as they sit/stand there to help the baby out. In this case, the obstetrician dropped the baby as she came out (they are very slippery). By shear luck, the baby fell into the plastic bag instead of falling all the way to the floor. We all went "whew!" as the Daddy said "so THATS what that plastic bag is for!" Needless to say, we didn't correct him.
Somewhere out there Mullah Omar is reading Slashdot and thinking "Cool! Now I can send a DMCA take down notice and make these drones go away . Then I won't have to wear a burqa every time I set foot outside this cave."
Who is freaking writing these web pages? It would have been easier to NOT include photo's and names
I'm not defending their choices, but there is a legitimate reason why they would do this. Some users mistype their username, not their password. This results in a "failed login" screen. If there is no photo (or name) they may assume they have mistyped their password, and keep trying it over and over. Throwing up the picture associated with that account helps the user figure out that the reason they can't log in is because they are mistyping their username, not their password.
No, this is white collar crime, which the US frowns upon by making one pay back a small percentage of the damage^h^h^h^h^h^h PROFIT caused by one's actions.
"Swarm[ing] our aircraft carriers with airplanes and missiles" is NOT "asymmetric" warfare. That is your basic nation to nation warfare, where someone has the guts and sense of honor to fight in compliance with the rules of the Geneva Convention.
Asymmetric warfare would be someone floating a civilian boat up the the warship and setting off a suicide bomb. Google "USS Cole (DDG 67) on October 12, 2000" for an example.
The best suggestion for your wife is to see if her office will set up a call relay
Or use a sacrificial Google Voice account. Call back through that, with it set up to show your Google Voice number as the caller ID. Leave that account set to always go straight to voice mail. That way, you never get bothered by a call back, but you still can review your email to see if any of the messages the patient left really were important.
Never ever let patients find out your home number. God knows what they would say to your kids if they answered the phone.
There are lots of good recs for Windows/Linux encryption programs above, mixed in the with the 10,000 responses that all say "don't use your personal computer for work" Not much about Macs, though. We have a similar project happening now. Crashplan Pro (WDE in addition to network backup) has caused lots of headaches, but PGP Whole Disk Encryption works pretty well. That won't last, though, since PGP is being purchased by Symantec. WDE is a very immature field in Mac-land. I suspect that developers aren't willing to spend the time creating good stand alone WDE because they are afraid Apple might undercut them and add it as a built in feature to the 10.7 or 10.8 OS update.
We have different definitions of who is "communicating" I am referring to the sending computer and the receiving computer, not hardware in the middle that is just passing the message along.
By your definition, every single piece of your US Postal Service mail is simple local intra-state communication. After all, the postman simply carries it from your mailbox to the local post office, right?
There is not a single solitary ISP anywhere in this country that carries ONLY communications between two computers that are both in the same state. There can't be. If that is all they do, then they are not providing "Internet Service" They would be a KSP (Kentucky service provider) or whatever.
The cynic in me wonders if he is working for some hack start-up company trying to develop a DRM scheme for a hard drive, similar to the crap the studios do to DVD's to make them difficult to rip. Typically this involves creating some sort of currupt/invalid area on the disk that your particular device will know to ignore, but will lock up anyone else trying to read the data off the drive.
The optimist in me wonders if he is trying to defeat such a scheme.
The problem of unexploded ordinance goes back much further than World War I. In 2008, a guy was killed by a canon ball from the U.S. Civil War (140 year old ordinance) http://bit.ly/2O4M7j
I was part of the "teenager" definition just few years ago...
Welcome to the old fart's club. Your cabana is right over here. The metamucil is complementary, but you will have to charge the Rogaine and Grecian Formula to your club credit card. Our next group outing is to the Rolling Stone's concert. Don't forget that you are responsible for packing your own oxygen tanks and diapers before boarding the group bus.
... it still felt like a betrayal of trust to have been lied to like that
Absolutely. One of the most common complaints of chronically ill children is that they are lied to. Paraphrasing one 7 year old boy with cancer: "When they say that this won't hurt a bit, what they usually mean is that it will only hurt for a moment. Why can't they just say that instead?" As soon as they catch you lying, they will never trust your reassurances about anything else. A woman could come to the hospital room for 30 minutes to help fill out insurance paperwork, but the kid is going to be afraid the whole time because he doesn't believe you when you tell him that the visitor isn't doing to do anything painful to him.
Also, as twidarkling said, "they're not stupid" The kids definitely know that something bad is about to happen, no matter how much you try to hide it or fool them. They will be incredibly suspicious of anything new or different. If you really want this to work, you need to let the kid play with the helmet and wear it at home or alone in a waiting room with Mom ahead of time (preferably without any anesthetic loaded in it of course)
Can you post model names/numbers for those baby monitors? I'd love to be able to pick one that has channel-switching built in...
Even better: just get a monitor that uses the 1920 MHzâ"1930 MHz range, instead of the usual wifi channels. Type DECT into Wikipedia. Philips makes some pricey but awesome monitors like the SCD510. I live in a downtown highrise, with 15 networks visible to my computer and lots of metal in the walls, and it works great.
... it would be cool to have a combination of both. That is, the email comes through with the attempted transcription *and* the original audio as an attachment
Most of them work that way, although often the email only contains a link to the audio file, not the file itself. If you want the file sent so you can hear it when offline, try Phone Tag http://phonetag.com/ I have used them, and Google Voice, for a while. Their accuracy is (obviously) MUCH better than Google Voice, because they are using humans to do the transcription.
For me (U.S. iPhone on AT&T) there is one other advantage: battery life.
Push email from either my work Exchange account of my personal MobileMe account kills the battery life. Turning push off, and directing important email to SMS (via email to SMS) gives me "push email" features with a good battery life.
I was puzzled by Microsoft's decision to imbed ODF compatibility in their current Office program so quickly. Now I understand why. They realized that if they hurried they could release BEFORE the spec was usable for spreadsheets. Now they will stall as long as possible. Their lobbyists are happy because they can say "we support ODF." Their marketers are happy because there is something labeled ODF in the program that is utterly useless. Pointy haired bosses will never understand the distinction between version 1.1 vs. 1.2, and will conclude forever that ODF is broken.
$50 says there's a connection between this group and a major ISP in the USA.
I would go even further. The group is probably connected to a cable TV company, not just any ISP. The cable companies have the most interest in keeping total internet bandwidth scarce and expensive. They want to delay the day when Hulu/iTunes/etc. become a viable alternative to your HBO subscription.
The question is, will they pay for macdonalds.pr0n or not?
They would have to. You must constantly show effort to defend your trademark, or you loose your legal rights to it. Anytime someone registers a URL called "macdonalds.*" Macdonald's lawyers are going to say that they have to file a lawsuit or risk loosing some rights to their trademark. Ultimately, registering the URL before someone else does will be seen as cheaper than a lawsuit.

Amazon-dot-com and shareholders rejoice, as more people can now read your files, therefore you make more money from increased e-book sales.
For the most part, they loose money on each ebook sale.

Lots of things, if you have worked hard in school and learned a profession that is in demand. Nursing, for example.

They can. Some operate in the 1.9 GHz range. Look up DECT in Wikipedia if you want details.
Even better: just get a monitor that uses the 1920 MHzâ"1930 MHz range, instead of the usual wifi channels. Type DECT into Wikipedia. Philips makes some pricey but awesome monitors like the SCD510.
