Even General Motors got some $18 billion in relief, talking about an organization that deserves to fail. Without GM, we'll still have a domestic car industry--Ford, Nissan, Toyota, and Honda are all operating in the U.S. and doing just fine--
Minor nitpick, GM repaid the money already. I agree fully with the rest of your comment though, we should be pouring funding into NASA after all the things they have brought us in so many fields.
IANAL, but my understanding is the same for US Universities, they own the work you do while you are in school. If you make a commercial product, they can demand a share of the money coming in if the work was done while a student.
Where did I say I didn't care about it? I was making a joke based on the fact that this happens offline, you don't walk through security online. So I guess a Whoosh is in order?
I wouldn't hold my breath on this becoming a standard. Now, something they say on this page does interest me; it looks like it is marketed for PC peripherals and display interfaces. You might see this being more common as a wireless HDMI, or wireless link for that portable hard drive. In this use, line of site and range isn't a big deal, so kind of a replacement for Bluetooth type uses, as well as expanding it to domains where it doesn't have the speed to perform.
Interestingly enough, fiber, even the glass stuff, can bend tighter raduis(i?) then solid copper wires. I have never actually had a fiber go bad from being coiled up, even when pulled straight and having a twist pull to a radius of my pinky finger.
Why are you slamming the OP? Do you not know about Bootcamp with Windows or Linux running as the host OS on Mac hardware? The title, and summary only indicate you have to have the hardware, not what host OS you need to be running. This interests me considerable as I would much rather have Windows 7 running native on my Mac pro as it would allow it to use 8 cores instead of the 2 that VMware Fusion can expose to it. The only reason I don't run Windows as the native OS is that I would have to reboot to use the Mac software I use to test.
As my sig says, I support Mac OS in the enterprise, I don't prefer to use it for my normal day to day work as Entourage is pathetic compared to Outlook, and has serious connectivity issues.
My comment has "I thought"? I don't see it anywhere in there. The insightful was most likely directed at the questions I posed, which weren't even answered by the prosecution. So perhaps you should respond to that?
If you are captured by Al'Qaeda and asked to give up the location of your family, will you tell the truth? This is a extreme example, but there are times when you should lie. They asked him to give up the passwords in a manner which would have exposed them to people who most definitely were not authorized to have them. If he had released the passwords in this manner, he could have been brought up on charges according to the policy.
I am not denying that now the facts are out, the guy was a jerk, but the fact that he lied when confronted in an incorrect manner I won't fault him for. I would have probably done what a previous poster suggested and handed the passwords in a sealed envelope to the manager.
Nowhere in that quote does it indicate that the accounts were administrator users. They could have been read-only users, or users of a router that was less important in the network.
That is questionable in the quote. They could have been read only users, or else why would they need the router passwords if they already had administrators.
Eventually we looked at it and we saw that in late June his manager had requested certain accounts to be created that would have access to certain routers and switches.
I would have to agree to that. Authorized in this situation should have been defined from the beginning. Childs worked on his own definition of authorized as that was never given to him either. Did he fail to give the passwords to the person he felt was authorized? I thought the Mayor got the passwords in the end, so how did he not deliver them to an authorized person?
Rhetorical questions, not directed at you, just stating that they haven't been properly answered yet.

You mean saying "wanna f?" doesn't work well? I'll have to keep that in mind.
Oh, like Clinton made us a better place to live. Yeah right.

Oh, like the Democrat congress during W's term made us a better place to live. Yeah right.
Depending on which actual action you are speaking of. As the deregulation of the banks that caused the banking meltdown was a Clinton idea, not W.

Actually, Google maps is not free for a commercial product, it is quite expensive.
They provide a service on the internet. It is a literal usage rather then the typical one.

Well I am Patrick.

According to their site, with beamforming, the range is around 10m: http://wirelessgigabitalliance.org/specifications

You fly online? New one to me, I guess it is a flight sim? and you have to go through security for this online flying?
2nded. I really want to know how he put RFID in his car...
No no no, that should be Biiiing!
That's what she said?

Yes, using a flashlight is a pretty normal way to do that.
I suggest you learn British.
FTFY :)
At least until a competing standard pops up due to the cost of the patent fees.
The funny thing is that this doesn't really make things any more secure, but the illusion of additional security is all the banks care about.

I have to run Mac OSX to support other users of Mac OSX. I would much prefer not to use it unless needed.
You can dislike Windows all you like, but Windows 7 is actually pretty good. You should give it a try some time, maybe run it in your virtualbox.

Yes, as in a read only user.

Access != Administrator
