No their math isn't wrong you're just not picking up on what they are calling cyber-attacks. They are clearly considering the 19% national security intrusion as cyber attacks. The other part is cyber crime which some people may consider cyber-attacks but they aren't when they are saying they are spending twice as much on child porn.
NO it's not GPS. If this was GPS then the results would be far more accurate. If I want my smart phone to know where I am so that it can suggest a store or pretend to be my in car navigator then I will turn on the GPS. If I want it tracking my movement using WiFi data then I will turn on the WiFi locator so that it can do that instead. They are doing something that you cant actually turn OFF by tracking you using the Cell towers. It's a feature that is unnecessary since it has GPS that i can turn on if I need it.
If someone needs to legally watch me and track me using my phone then Law Enforcement can go get the paperwork and they can get better information from the Cell companies and even track me in real time.
This makes no sense as to why it even exists. Except maybe to allow someone to spy on me by getting a hold of that file.
Actually Neanderthal have never been found in Africa. Now if you want to go back farther to other species then we might as well go back to the first living thing, and no know knows where that was formed.
Yea but the "Out of Africa" hypothesis is on shaky ground since Europeans have Neanderthal DNA mix in.
Christians, Jews and Muslims place the origin to the Garden of Eden. Where that is or was isn't exactly placed, but is somewhere between Egypt and Assyria(Iraq). That's a great distance away from Southern Africa.
If you actually believe this guy and think that the "root" language came from africa and isn't what NotSanguine pointed out then you might want to see this.
I don't think Apple should have banned it: they should have just packaged it with an App to cure Bigotry.
Well thank you, Taco, for calling everybody who doesn't approve of homosexuality a bigot. Have you, or any of the other homosexuality-supporters, ever considered that there are more than two sides to this?
The difference though with the Catholic opinion is that we believe that people who experience severe homosexual attraction are called to chastity.
Many pro-LGBT people with misunderstandings of the Catholic religion (such as lumping it together with all of the other Christian faiths) think that it's just "forbidden" and "sinful" and an "abomination" for little reason, while the real reason why it's sinful to the Church is that it denies the life-giving aspect of sexuality entirely.
No you're more likely to be equated with Mormons who have to deny the existence of True Hermaphrodites in order to justify their view that "The Gay" can be cured, or that it must be suppressed (see Chastity). That and the catholic view and Mormon view on woman and the priesthood is oddly similar.
For more information, read any of the many books or articles out there summarizing Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body; the Catholic Church's opinion on sexuality is a lot more reasonable than many people make it sound like.
I would have trusted his words more if he had done something reasonable when the Catholic pedophile priests were exposed. Like maybe a full blown public inquisition with all the trimmings. Heck the victims of the past inquisitions were dealt with by the local governments so that the Church wouldn't have blood directly on it's hands then, they just did the rooting out of evil part. Instead he did a timid denouncement of them and thought the matter closed.
I hope I've made sense explaining the Catholic position...
You only succeed in confirming a stereo type. Sorry for the aggression directed at you. Religion is more then just a hot button for me, and I'm feeling a bit Trollish.
I have an unlocked phone so that I can actually change my provider if I want to. If AT&T merges with T-Mobile then my phone is locked to AT&T since it requires a sim card to function and I'm pretty sure Sprint and Verizon won't play nice with my phone.
But I don't think they will do anything with them that does me any harm
Which part about social security number, age, marital status, religion, income, debt, interests, browsing and spending habits did he not understand. All that info would give someone a sure fire way to steal their identity.
Pretty much. MS says it was a "dead code" optimization but others who tested it believe it's a bug in their engine that just happens to be working in their favor on that test. In ether case the SunSpider benchmark cant be used to judge IE9. The benchmark isn't intended to test its ability to find dead code and skip over it. Its intended to see how long it takes to run a particular piece of code.
First who would want to buy a spectrum that is polluted with Ham Radio Operators noise. You'd have to take all that equipment away to get them to not use it.
Second why add this to a Broadband for First responders bill when it will mess with our existing Military infrastructure? It says to make it so they can pay for the Broadband but forcing the Military to change their equipment so someone can buy this little spectrum doesn't sound like it will make money.
They's why you use redundant systems. If you go boating out at sea you do not go out with only a magnetic compass to navigate. You leave with a magnetic compass and a gyrocompass. That minimizes the chance that some random magnetic anomaly will get you lost out at sea. Only an idiot would go out and navigate by GPS alone.
And your Pole Reversal has zero affect on a Gyrocompass unless you also think that the crust slips when a pole reversal happens, and I hope no one still buys into that hair brained scyme.
I have to agree. A Tech school can work out even with the bad stigma of it. If you send out a resume some HR will simply round file you if you have nothing after high school listed. Even if they saddle their students with too much debt sometimes it helps to get your foot in the door. On the other hand 10 years ago I had two options. I could go to BSU which had the reputation of putting out CS majors who couldn't program to save their lives or a Tech School. I picked the Tech School rather then wait for BSU and the other local collages to get their acts together. I unfortunately didn't have the money to go out-of-state.
Aside from threatening to harm people, you can actually say a lot in the US that you can't in other countries. Heck, John Galliano wouldn't have been charged with a thing for all the crazy pro nazi and anti semetic things he said but he had to say them in France where it's illegal. Heck most Libertarians say worst things about taking down the government and rioting then what this Zimbabwe guy did.
It's not a poorly written summary. TFA actually mentions that the reason for implementing this is to address the Buffer Overflow attacks that have been used against the JRE. Even though google is well meaning in what they are doing I don't think they understand where the problem is at. Most of the buffer overflow attacks were targeting the JRE and that only has a small set of code written in java. The vast majority of the JRE is written in C and C++. Adding Design by Contract standards to Java won't fix those buffer overflow issues. They'd have to add it to C++ and implement it on the whole JRE and that would be a massive rewrite. It might fix things but adding it to Java only will fix things like when a programmer fails to do sanity checks of user input.
I do in fact hold a narrow view of what Intelligence is but it is deceptively simple. You must be able to learn as you go in order to be intelligent. Lets take something that is simple like Tic-Tac-Toe. I have an abstract move that works against most humans if they've never seen it before and just about all AI. If I use it against a human and it works once I might be able to get 1 or 2 wins out of it but after that I will be blocked every time. If I use it against an AI and it works once it works every time. Even the fancy Neural Networks seem to fall for it. Sometimes it doesn't work but that's because in those cases the programmer went in and put in that one weird abstract case so that it wouldn't fall for the trick ever again. The AI is only as intelligent as the last time the programmer messed with it.
That is exactly what happened with Deep Blue as well. Kasperov was using a trap to trick the AI into making mistakes and he won two games with the same trick. In between games the programmers went in and changed the programming so that it wouldn't fall for the trick again. What they did proved that they had failed. Deep Blue the best chess AI on the planet was incapable of doing what Grand Master Chess players are all capable of doing and that is learning from a past mistake. If Kasperov had used the same trap 2 3 or even 4 times against a Grand Master Kasperov would have lost because the Human can "Reprogram" himself but Deep Blue was totally and utterly incapable of doing that one simple task. Making it so that Deep Blue can't even pass the Turning Test because a human given a bit of time would find its weakness in its play and since it would never learn from its mistakes would look fake (artificial) and repetitive. A human would try to change their play style to find a way around the tricks win or lose.
Is this magical? Probably not, I just haven't seen an AI actually do it yet. I think Bottom Up AI's would have a better chance at meeting this requirement long before a Top Down AI ever will.

Now that would be funny. What would be funnier would be if they actually used the same master key for PSN and Sony Online that was in the PS3.

Sometimes I remember it one way, sometimes another... if I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice! Ha ha ha!

I see your Gay Chastity and Raise you on Catholic Sex abuse cases.

Unless you paid extra for a phone that can switch. Mine only supports TMobile and AT&T

McCain is working on similar legislation. The primary difference is on which frequencies go to auction. I'm not sure which McCain wants to sell. http://thehill.com/blogs/hillicon-valley/technology/146113-military-airwaves-at-risk-in-public-safety-bill-groups-say

I got my update this morning.
Just as they are about to win time will stop and their win will be unobservable.
Isn't that what Llano should be. We'll see if it works when it comes.
Oh yes the British are so nice and lovable in the past. I suppose the Bagh Massacre was because they were playing nice like the Russians.

He won against the British. The guy who shot him was upset about the conflict between India and Pakistan.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win, then someone shots you, then you bless them.
Thank you Narcc you actually grasp the point.
