Relative to GDP per capita, the US, being the world's shining example of capitalism at work, has the highest rate of homelessness and citizens living in poverty in the world
Way to misquote... In the wikipedia article you linked to:
"The poverty rate in the United States is one of the highest among the post-industrialized developed world. It is, however, important to note that America's poor most commonly have adequate food, clothing and shelter. For example, of those beneath the federal poverty line, 46% own their own home, with an average of three bedrooms."
In the US, many people are unhappy if they can't afford everything that Madison Avenue is trying to shove down their throats. They are unhappy because not everyone in the freakin world can afford a 60" flat panel HDTV and a BMW or Mercedes. There is nothing more frustrating than seeing people like my sister-in-law who has been working the system forever (she doesn't have a job because the government pays her more not to work), goes out and buys that 60" flat panel TV on taxpayer dollars so she can sit on her fat ass and watch TV all day while I work 70 hours a week and pay about $100K in taxes each year, supporting lazy fat slob's like her. Oh yeah, she and her entire family of 6 kids and worthless husband get WAY better medical care than I do, with no deductibles - totally free medical and dental. So don't whine around me how bad "people in poverty" have it in the US, cause it's BULLSHIT.
Yes, the enlightened people all know that it's really vegetarians that cause global warming. It works like this: Vegetarians eat more plants. Plants are good as they scrub CO2. Cows, on the other hand, emit 500 liters of methane per day, each, which is a HUGE factor in global warming. Put two and two together and you see that in order to save the earth, we need out outlaw vegetarians and start force feeding them raw meat.
Where's Al Gore? We need him to fix his documentary. Oh yeah - he's in his mansion that uses 15 times more energy than the average home... I bet he is a vegetarian too...
Looking at the size of the Windows market, I would bet that the size of the legitimate keyspace is much larger than "hundreds of millions", probably by several orders of magnitude. It has to be large in order for this brute force search to work.
I had one when I was a kid too, but it was back in the days when the most complicated circuit in the kit was a transistor, and radio shack actually carried electronic components. They used to carry kits for building radios, and other things. My first major project was building one of those table-top AM radios, which worked well enough that when I connected the antenna lead to my wire book shelf, I could pick up stations over a thousand miles away on the skip.
The kit itself and it's manual wasn't enough to learn by, so I bought some books and a meter, and played with the kit modifying the examples until I understood how things worked. That was when I was 12. Over the next several years I got into wirewrapping and trying my own circuits. Bottom line is that the manuals for the kit won't teach you jack. You need something more to teach you how the examples actually work.
Fry's does have inventory... Most of it is low-end junk however, and good luck finding a "NEW" boxed item - you will most likely only find crap that has been returned at least once, probably several times. Most likely if you are there for a cable, they are out of the one you need, and there is 25 of the wrong item in the spot where the cable you need should be (and they will NEVER, EVER refill with the correct cable, even years later...) Yeah, you may find a good motherboard there, but it's 2 years out of date, and up to date models are all made by manufacturers you have never heard of, like RinTinFoo.
Fry's also has a corporate policy where they only hire people that do not have a solid grasp on the English language, and have zero knowledge at all about the products they sell, or technology in general for that matter.
Don't even get me started on the *worst ever* layout they have for their register counters where there is usually only 12" of space to put your items down, and the idiot receipt checkers at the door.
Fry's is one of those places where it can be fun to browse, but a nightmare to actually buy anything, and deal with returns.
Save yourself the pain and just buy online from a reputable company like Newegg. You will get better quality NEW factory sealed products for less money.
I also use NoScript, and yes, javascript is becoming more and more "required" for advanced sites. There is a difference however in "valid" versus "gratuitous" use of Javascript... Some sites require javascript in order for you to see parts of the page that should be plain simple HTML, or CSS, or trying to push server-side functions to the client (breadcrumbs for example.) On the other hand, there are sites like maps.google.com that would totally suck without javascript because they really need client-side scripting to improve usability.
Innovation is always risky. And success or failure can turn on a hair.
The difference is that this is evolutionary innovation rather than revolutionary. While the iPhone has a better UI and more memory than anything else out there "at the moment", it is quite a bit less capable (closed apps, no 3G, low-res camera, no user replaceable battery, poor battery life, no hardware keyboard, Cingular only) than other phones currently on the market, and costs twice as much. When they finally DO get it out the door, other phones will be even More capable.
Apple will have to slash the price in at least half (plus subsidies from Cingular) in order to meet sales goals with the configuration they have been touting. It's not a bad phone, but it's not a high-end smart phone either - pricing it above even top of the line smart phones is not a winning strategy.
The difference is that the $500 iPhone (which will NOT be subsidized according to Apple) has less features than a $99 (subsidized price) smartphone. If they were close, then sure, they will sell a ton, but with the announced featureset / pricepoint / 2 year contract required, I bet they sell under 2 Mil - WAY less than the 11 Mil they are targeting. Those 2 Mil people are going to be the uber-hard core apple fans that will buy anything with an apple logo on it.
It's not that I don't like Apple: I've got several iPods and 3 Macs. I think the Mac Mini's and macbook pro's are Very price competitive - you get a lot of bang for the buck. IMHO, it's totally the opposite with the iPhone / AppleTV.
I think the fact that it's not running Windows (which crashes all the time) is a huge plus, but the closed nature totally kills it for me. That and lack of 3G. $500 is way to much for a closed phone with no 3G. 3G open phone for $500, and I'd snap it up in a heartbeat as the UI beats anything out there. Yeah, the lack of a hardware keyboard is a little disappointing, but I could live with it.
Not so sure about the battery issue - batteries only last me about a year before they start losing it. If it's not easily replaceable, that will hurt too - I can't give up my phone for a few weeks while it gets sent back to Apple for battery replacement.
I really don't understand these newest 2 products from Apple - Apple TV also seems to suffer from a lack of capability. Both the iPhone and AppleTV are 90% feature complete products, and the missing 10% will kill 50%+ of potential sales IMHO.
Considering the iPhone only costs about $250, and there will be no subsidy from Cingular, it really sounds like Apple / Cingular got REALLY greedy for no damn reason.
A resume with lots of short term jobs looks VERY bad to employers. While right NOW he is getting a lot of job offers, that probably won't ALWAYS be the case, and a "Job Hopping" resume will look bad in the case where he is actively looking for a new job. In other words, plan for the future (not just tomorrow.) If you have been a contractor, list your client jobs under a single "employment" section, with clients listed inside that so it's obvious what was going on, and that you weren't actually a job hopper.
Getting a new employee up to speed is expensive, and job hoppers tend to be weeded out very early in hiring process. Many times HR will even eliminate them from consideration before the hiring manager even sees the resume.
Hah. The eXtreme eDition pales in comparison to the Home Equity Loan edition... That one even includes Microsoft Tax Manager that automatically redirects your income tax refunds to Redmond!
Yes I am reading your posts, but you are perhaps not reading mine.
This news article is all about the content of news sites on google - not whether you type in "cnn" and google returning the CNN home page URL. That is a pointless and mostly useless search, and discussion about it has NOTHING to do with what is going on. If google delists, they will most likely remove content oriented results so that if you search for CNN you get cnn, but if you search for "iraq" you won't get any results that point to articles on CNN's site.
You are missing the bigger picture. This is about copyright, and the ability for a search engine to display a summary of site content. If even the smallest summary violates copyright, then search engines as they exist today would cease to exist because they would not be able to give you anymore than a Yes / No result sorted by relevance. THAT is what is important.
If widows live provides summaries to news content, and they DO, then they have the exact same problem Google has.
When people are interested in a certain current event or other topic, they don't go to many different individual sites to find that content, they either go to a single news site or search for it on a search engine. If search engines are not allowed to display a short summary of the page, then you will end up with results like: "Cnn matches, NYT matches" which is USELESS. You need the snipit / summary to determine if the match really is what you are looking for, or is a bad result. Even with very specific search terms, I frequently find the best result is not always in the first 10 returned. Imagine if you had to go to each and every site to determine if the hit is good or bad..
This particular suit was about the short summaries - not the full text of the article: the scenario above would apply.
I therefore doubt Google will consider de-listing mainstream newspaper websites. It would give Google an immense commercial disadvantage to their rivals!
Yes, but if these rulings stand (through the appeal process,) you can bet that EVERY news aggregator / search engine will ALSO have to remove content / links to the pages, therefore no competitive disadvantage.
Without news aggregaters, there will be no way for major media sites to attract NEW customers / readers, and non-ahole media sites will end up with larger readership levels.
The "cache" issue is those sites that want google to index their articles, but want readers to pay for the content. In essence, they want "free" advertising / marketing via google. I say, Delist the cheapskate bastards.
I had a similar problem actually, and it was a total PITA to find the right cable, which I finally did.
Frankly, fuck all these special cables. Give me Cat-6, a single SDI coax, or even fiber. I'd prefer coax, which can handle digital over fairly long distances with zero problems and is easy to terminate (3G-SDI does 1080p up to 100 Meters.) I don't want any more proprietary 985462 pin connectors, and 238468 conductor cables that cost $98652 per foot, and can only run 20 feet without problems / repeaters.
If the vendor doesn't know about it, OBVIOUSLY there isn't going to be a patch yet. That said, I don't think your definition is wrong, but is a corner case where the vendor finds out about the bug but hasn't had enough time to fix it (of course some vendors make a business decision to fuck over their customers and don't release a patch either.) If a vulnerability is known about for an extended period of time and there is no patch, it's hardly a zero day problem - there were lots of days available for people to take precautionary measures. Zero day implies that you can git hit out of the blue - it's new, unknown.
A 401K does not require all your investments to be stocks. In fact, if you stick all your money in stocks, you are a total idiot. That said, go look at yahoo finance, and pick the max chart for any major indicator (Nasdaq, Dow, S&P 500). If you don't stick all your money in one company and spread it around, LONG TERM you will do just fine. Two and three years is not long term. When you are looking at retirement, look at the 20 year numbers. If you attempt to micromanage your 401K and are constantly buying and selling individual stocks, you are going to fuck yourself bad. If you DO want to do that, only do it with a small chunk (10%.)
The problem is bigger than you realize. It's not just 50 different state taxes, it's local taxes too. Cities in California can add their own sales tax. Also, in some places clothing is taxed, and not in others. The exceptions and special cases for sales taxes nationwide is a total freakin nightmare.
Savings and investment are things only the rich can afford to do
I think you meant to say that "Savings and investment are things that everyone except the very poor can afford to do." Hell, even freakin Walmart has a 401K plan. It all depends on whether you decide to spend all your cash and buy all the coolest toys, or whether you live frugally and put money away. I sure don't consider myself rich, and I have been saving since high-school, and minimum wage jobs. I just save a heck of a lot more now.
Most states have this, but compliance is pretty low, and nearly impossible to audit. While they could force you to give them copies of your credit card receipts, they would have to prove that you purchased items for yourself and not as a gift to Aunt Millie in Alaska, or something that you used on a trip in the state your purchased the item in...
I think the biggest challenge to a standardized nation wide sales tax is states with ZERO sales tax. So what are you going to do in these anti-tax states? Force them to implement a tax? Is it going to be a compromise mid-level, or is it going to be on the high-end like California?
I looked at my own internet purchases last year, and a number were from companies that already collect local sales tax since they have a business presence in my state, and the tax on everything else is a few hundred dollars at best. My state requires that I itemize everything for the use tax collection, which is just nuts. I put down zero as I have done every year for the past 25 years.
Bullcrap. Sysadmins downloaded and installed the "fsecure" version WELL before that. While it was only "free" for non-commercial use, Many people either ignored that or paid for a license (it wasn't that expensive.) If you could afford a Sun machine, you could afford a license (or even a site license.)
On Windows, TeraTerm and SecureCRT, and fsecure's client predated Putty.
When you kickstart / jumpstart the machine, you install / configure ssh at that time. No need for telnet - EVER. All my servers are headless, and install themselves from blank factory state to locally customized, ssh-enabled state within 15 minutes and zero user intervention.
I don't think it's possible to install Solaris without user intervention from standard distro CD / DVD without using jumpstart or some other remote auto-install system. You need some kind of console access - even if it's serial.
Plain Telnet is plaintext - tcpdump will show you that. There is no encryption in plain telnet sessions. The data you in your session can be even MORE sensitive than your password especially if you are using some alternative password schemes, such as one time passwords S/Key / Opie.
When you are doing Kerberos, then it's no longer plain telnet - it's a whole different animal. It's unfortunate that it is still called "telnet" because you can't use normal telnet clients or servers with it and get any security at all.
