but doesn't actually address the underlying problem Exactly. Most people I know are not in any type of talk therapy - they simply take pills and say it makes them feel better.
The brain rewires itself. In some cases, when a lot of bad things happen to you, you need help to get to a place where you can believe that it's possible for things to get better. I believe antidepressants can do that - but are only effective when combined with behavioral therapy.
Wiping out a couple of cities != a campaign to kill every living person of Japanese ancestry. I stopped reading your post right there, since it was obvious you had no idea what you were talking about.
Buddy, if you think Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the only Japanese cities we decimated during World War II, you really need to pick up a history book. We firebombed ever major city in Japan - and they still wouldn't give up. We killed a lot of civilians in the push to soften up the home islands before any nuclear bombs were used.
(Having a sibling in a decent job at a major international airline? Priceless!) I'll grant you your priceless position, but it's hardly evidence in light of what the rest of us (tm) have to put up with.
Still, congrats on being well-connected when it comes to siblings who work with airlines!
Really, how many people who are willing to spend $3,000 on a laptop are flying coach? Quite a few, actually. And the users with $3000.00 laptops whose businesses force them to fly coach are possibly even more numerous. Most laptops I see on business travel lately (about 50k miles on domestic flights since mid-January) are in the $2-3,000.00 range. I see a lot more MacBook Pros than I used to, and quite a few high-end latitudes. Occasionally a Lenovo, but they're actually rare in airports and domestic flights.
Clearly your philosophy comes from the conspicuous consumption school or spending. There are virtually no mid-class "business" seats for domestic travel in the U.S. On the vast majority of flights, only two-tier seating is available, and from my experience, First Class is filled with upgraders for two weeks from the flight date.
Not sure what airline or where you fly, but I'd pass along a bit of advice that has served me well: "Fly coach now so you can fly first class later."
This isn't remotely realistic, but having every steet enclosed and made of a reflective substance on the interior would mean light keeps bouncing around where we want it Gee, and I was just thinking that shielding street lights would be a good first step. Didn't think we'd have to build a hamster cage.
This after I thought he had motioned me to come throught the metal detector. Same thing happened to me at Houston Hobby airport the other day. Big fat TSA woman motioned me through the metal detector by holding her paw out sideways and moving her fingers, while jabbering with her TSA buddy in the next line so I walked through - until she barked "Don't come through. That's why I have my hand up. It means stop."
Well excuse the shit outta me. It's not my fault you're too lazy to hold your hand UP in the universal sign for stop. Why she was moving her fingers, I'll never know. But there was no reason to be rude or condescending.
TSA folks know they can act like jerks without repercussion, so many of them do. They're not accountable like the police, and they're paid well for a mindless, numbing job, so there's less incentive for them to act responsibly or with respect.
An agreement? With whom? Verizon? Isn't this some sort of collusion and/or antitrust violation? No, Verizon has a contract with the landlord of your property. You probably rent, I'm guessing. When we lived at One Pearl Place in San Jose, we were unable to get Comcast - although the folks across the street could. OPP had an agreement with ATT/DirectTV, which meant that our TV service was constantly out and we could only get 256kbps (peak) DSL, rather than the 6Mbps (peak) digital cable our neighbors enjoyed.
Also, we were required by the lease to get a landline which we never used. Together, we pad as much for the communication/internet/TV package as Comcast offered the same trio of services for - except we got fewer channels, never used the phone, and had 1/24th the peak line speed.
Shell account providers, even ones that cost money, are becoming few and far between. I miss best.com, myself. After Verio bought them, they started to suck. Having a shell account at a small local provider was very handy sometimes.
It tells me the press is far more fascinated with making the party of tolerance and fiscal responsibility (D) seem hypocritical than in telling the truth about the "daddy" party (R), which has proven it will say and spend our children's future away to get votes.
After reading the complete stories behind the "racist" and "divisive" comments over the past couple of weeks in the democratic primaries, I'm far less concerned about Hillary lynching anybody or Barack leading a splinter faction than I am in Mr. "100 years in Iraq" McCain or Jesus McHuckaby getting into the Oval Office.
I wish we had a viable third party candidate this time around who was 1. Charismatic, 2. Intelligent, 3. Smart. and 4. Wasn't easily linked to true racist fringe movements.
It means that the hardware has enough memory and enough DSP horsepower to decode it when combined with an appropriate software codec. This is a case of licensing or not licensing the WMA codec, not just the crypto. IIRC, the PP5002c was sold as a standalone chip to Apple, but Portal Player was trying to sell an entire OS/Chip solution. Apple sourced the iPod's first OS from Pixo, so there was no WMA built into it - and it's also why Portal never wanted to acknowledge Apple being a customer (when I contracted for them, we were not allowed to mention Apple, only the customer named "Baseband"). Because Apple didn't use Portal's entire solution, they were not someone portal wanted to talk about.
Also, if I recall correctly, the PP5002c and PP5003 were simply dual ARM7 TDMIO chips with some glue and interface logic. There's nothing there that would play WMA.
This case is baseless, groundless, and sure to get paid to go away.
The PP5002c used in the first three generations of iPod (and the PP5003 used in the fourth) does indeed decode WMA.
It also has a USB interface. But the first two generations of iPod don't.
The PP5002c can decode video. But no iPods until the fifth generation did so.
The PP5002c also had lots of other logic in it that wasn't used by Apple. I can't possibly see how this is supposed to be an argument that Apple was supposed to support WMA.
Another harassment suit. I hope it gets kicked out of court quickly.
some 170 yards apart in what appears to have once been an aircraft hangar for dirgibles. As someone who works within a few feet of what was once an aircraft hangar for dirigibles, I can confirm that as big as Fry's can be, they're pretty small in the grand scheme of things.
Apple sued for the names of the leaks, not to shut down the publication. In the end, Apple did not get those names, but the publication shut down, so everyone lost. ThinkSecret made this choice, not Apple. Nick C. was suspected of paying Apple contractors and employees for information about upcoming products - trade secrets - and rather than give Apple the names, he decided to shut down his web site.
As companies in this valley are largely competitive based on what they know, I think Apple had every right to sue ThinkSecret for the names of people who broke an explicit contract with Apple NOT to divulge privileged information. This valley runs on secrets, and people with big mouths aren't lauded as they were in the 80s and 90s.
The Apollo program that sent men to the moon had a much better safety record than the Shuttle, which lost two crews, one on takeoff and another on re-entry. It also had a much smaller crew module and in part, was built to scare the crap out of the Soviets.
Part of the goal with Ares is to use what worked from the man-rated Shuttle program (inexpensive and expendable main tank, reusable, recoverable SRBs) and what worked from Apollo (updated and enlarged crew module) with refinements that mean the vehicle will be flexible and have room for growth. Saturn V was a nice rocket, but didn't meet these goals. You have to build a whole new one every time.
Thanks for the update. I wasn't aware the F-22 could release at supercruise.
And while perhaps current cruise missiles aren't adapted to such launch...I don't see there's anything that makes it fundamentally impossible. I would think the inlet design would need reworking, but perhaps not.
What happens when you launch ordinance off a missile rail at supersonic speeds? Missiles use rocket motors, so they're faster than the airplane. They come off the rails at Mach 2+ and accelerate.
Air-launched cruise missiles (which use turbine engines) must be launched at subsonic speed, or the turbine won't start.
I can't say definitively, but I'm pretty sure that all bombs (whether free-fall, precision, guided, or retarded version of either) must be released at subsonic speeds if you want anything resembling accuracy.
The Hound Dog missile, an early form of cruise missile carried by B-52s, had its own turbine, and there are anecdotal stories of B-52 pilots using the Hound Dogs for supplemental thrust during heavy takeoffs - but I find that hard to believe. The B-52, of course, was high-subsonic in any flight regime. Cross the sound barrier in a dive, and the wings had a nasty habit of coming off.
Have they solved this problem? No. When the Air Force re-commissioned some Blackbirds at Edwards briefly a few years ago, they had to go looking to DuPont for the original sealant recipe.

What's really lame is the usual Slashdot typo fest in the headline.
Internet should be capitalized - at the very least because it's the first word in the headline, but also because it's a proper noun.

There. Fixed that for you.
From what I understand, the key would never be stored like this in RAM if the TPM's security model were in force.

This sort of collusion should be illegal.

There. Fixed that for you.
Never attribute to malice what can be explained by simple stupidity....except when it comes to the Bush White House.
Please cite an example. Show your work.
"Eyeballing" a flight path and thinking it passes too close to buildings is not proof. See also: Downtown San Jose.

Keep in mind that the mach 1.6 speed quoted is generally tied to the F-16, not the F-15, even though both aircraft use essentially the same engines.
The F-15 also has the advantage of having two engines and a lifting body design, which makes it possible to create a wing with lower drag and loading.
But I concur about the ridiculously sloppy summary.
