The rating hike is negligible though. The cost to have streaming + 3 Dvd's out at a time is still less than what Comcast and other service providers are charging for basic cable. With Hulu being free to watch new episode content, I'm still happily along for the ride that Netflix is offering. It was the idea of having to login to 2 different websites to find what I want to watch that really chaffed.
I could be wrong, but I don't think the actual application of laser pointers to cameras does any burning out of the hardware. As for Burn Notice, with many of their stunts leaving out crucial middle steps or over-exaggerating the effects, I think a more likely true usage of bundled lasers would be through the utilization of multiple colors (red, green, blue) to prevent analysis/countermeasures that apply color specific filters. (like using red to still figure out that was M. Westin in the corner using a bundle of red lasers)
What, 'CVE-2011-3192' isn't exciting enough for you?
As it is effectively finished in the wild for 2.2+ so long as everyone practices due diligence, unless someone really high up the food chain manages to still get bit in a sensitive area it doesn't deserve the same status as William H. Bonney.
Don't limit your perspective. Have you seen 'Minority Report?' Their interpretation of future 'roads' is like a public mag-lev bullet train taken to the individual level. Granted, that's not necessarily the way we're progressing, but it still follows that it's a possibility. Again, this is about writing the 'pseudo-code' that might yield something positive in the future, and deriding it as a wacky idea that shouldn't be taken seriously warrants a "seriously?" itself.
Lots of things have sounded stupid by outsiders as demonstrated by the vilification of Galileo by geo-centrists. Should he have let them stop him?
By getting together and starting broader dialogue about the idea of creating a viable mechanism for transit these people are at least working on the 'pseudo-code' for the problem. Whether this particular idea should fail or not, the solutions presented have the potential to act as a fulcrum for broader scientific discovery. Scientific revolutions don't happen by deciding not to attempt to pursue something because it sounds silly given your current understanding of the world around you.
He's commenting on the fact that many users of Facebook who ALSO play Farmville/Mafiawars/something else will find themselves inviting strangers to be their friends to increase their whatever. Given the fact that there are a myriad of users utilizing these applications the odds of accurately predicting whom one might invite or accept an invite from next are much greater than were they to stick the numbers racket for clearly defined boundaries of acquaintances.
Thanks, but I could have looked at the back of my Total Rewards Card if I forgot. This was a joke about getting points on that very same card through the same hotel chain while being in a different physical location than where a notorious security convention is going down. Sorry to burst your bubble.
A kid should be buckled down into the chair, and if they're awkwardly turned 90 degrees towards the window, they're going to be crawling out of that seatbelt constantly.
Until you said that, I hadn't even thought about the fact that it could also lead to long term developmental problems in children due to them constantly contorting their bodies for long periods of time. Back pain at 25 anyone?
Great, one more thing to obscure the view of driving parents who spend too much time looking at what's going on in the back seat as it is instead of paying attention to the road.
Buy your kid a tablet if you want them to be entertained with tech. Otherwise, cheap out and get an etch-a-sketch.
"As for all this blather about handing over an account that has virtually no rights, that'd be pointless. IT would need admin access just the same as they would on any other box. I'd be more inclined to say that the guy who said he didn't need but basic login access either
a) didn't know how to do his job right
or
b) intends to root your box anyways"
Without total access IT would not be able to completely rule out the potential misapplication of a rogue device. He should save the heartache and use their iPhones/Droids/CowboyNeal Device to access Google Calendar.
And before someone jumps my laissez-faire attitude to their corporate policy vs mine in regards to HIPAA or PIPEDA or another policy specific to their nation, recall that as the head of his clinical division he is probably aware of what he needs to do to protect patient information. HIPAA has nothing to do with employee scheduling or the methodology used by someone in the workplace to track their schedule so long as they aren't compromising the information of their patients in doing so.
I wouldn't have spent money on a server for any reason other than I would've wanted to have another server.
For all the people posting about what you can or can't do in their own particular corporate environ, who cares? My environment allows us all to bring in our laptops and anything else we want and hook it up to the network inside the firewall without anybody poking their nose in our business. Who cares? You and I don't work at his hospital, and mayhaps the people he works with aren't allowed to go ape shit over something like this.

I fail to see how being an 'individual' and acquiring a moniker for one's self that 'might' not have been used to any gainful notoriety by someone else prior to this point justifies having their computer confiscated.
Alphanumeric's are practically forced down our throat at every turn, whether it's in new capture images, password requirements on a banking site or when registering with any of the other myriad companies you might be required to have a login for these days. Is it so strange for that to translate into a name that transcends the King's English?
Who is to say we don't?
Parthenogensis, while generally (allegedly) uncommon outside of invertebrates, is nothing new. If one were given to biblical pontifications, you could say that it's even been documented in humans. I'm more inclined to believe that things I've read in books that were several thousand years old were written due to lies made by an ashamed couple, but given the lack of 'medical science' that we presently have compared to then, I would be a fool to completely write it off. If it's still happening in Komodo's & Boa constrictors, I don't see why it couldn't happen (albeit rarely) in other ranks of Biological Classifications as well.
'Test' firing and attempting to keep a secret immediately off the coast of LA don't jive. If they were attempting to TRULY keep it a secret they would've performed tests elsewhere. Sabre rattling, or something else, it wasn't your first scenario.
Here we describe a simple, nonintegrating strategy for reprogramming cell fate based on administration of synthetic mRNA modified to overcome innate antiviral responses. We show that this approach can reprogram multiple human cell types to pluripotency with efficiencies that greatly surpass established protocols.
I repeat, 'GREATLY SURPASS ESTABLISHED PROTOCOLS.'
I can see why he, and many others, might see that. Given that Mirriam-Webster's definition of a geek is "an enthusiast or expert, especially in a technological field or activity," it's reasonable to assume that the so called 'geek' would have an inherent advantage or natural predisposition to consume/process/assimilate over what one might expect from a 'warrior' type.
Also, the US Military have the ASVAB triage for a reason. It helps filter the morons into 'Infantry' and other positions that don't involve proper soldering of traces on a Missile armed with a nuclear warhead. Ten years ago my recruiter told me I was the first 99 he'd seen on the ASVAB, even though he'd been recruiting for over 6 years. He said the highest he'd seen was 92. The USAF and the rest of the branches obviously needed/need Geeks - Warriors are a half penny a dozen.
Please tell me that you meant to say 'Pendant' while you were being pedantic about the Tommy Gun. It makes it that much funnier for those that catch the flub.
Of course, this all depends on what your definition of zombie is.
Some people are strict with the human 'undead' moniker, but as I recall, the zombie dogs in the original Resident Evil game were the scariest aspect of Zombie-dom ~'97, so branching out to the animal kingdom and accepting Ants who are under the influence of the pod people under that Umbrella (hur hur hur) is a logical next step in recognizing that Zombies exist.
Should this move actually be legal, I envision the arrests and ejection from the show of many people simply pulling out their phone at the wrong time.
So if I call and leave a voice message on CowboyNeal's phone with whatever music in the background, then would CowboyNeal be the guilty party for having the device that actually recorded said few seconds of BG noise, or would I be held liable for being the party that initiated the ability for CN's phone to record the message by dialing him in the first place?
And secondly, should they move to prosecute some of the John Doe's for something of this trivial nature, are they then out of luck in going after CowboyNeal if they've already chased down 100 other John Doe types who were less elusive?

Use Google calendar. Whether they use an iPhone or not they can access it and you won't need to worry about Hospital Policy.

...if this war continues we will start hearing of troops killing their own officers.
I think we already moved past that point when the Officers started killing the troops.
