In fact, in the case of, say, a corporate network, it's more likely that an IP address would have been assigned by the IT department to a specific, trackable user, and not shared out on an unsecured Wi-Fi network where the IP could have been hi-jacked by a car parked on the street
Have you ever worked in a corporation? If so, have you ever worked in the IT department of a corporation? These questions are rhetorical since your conclusion is obviously based on not having done so. The IP addresses in most cases are not static assigned, especially to workstations, desktop PCs, and laptops. Why? Because it is a royal pain once you start dealing with people moving between multiple buildings or subnets. No IT department would ever want to handle dealing with changing IP addresses, switch configurations, VLANS, or routers whenever someone moves between two locations. No, they setup large DHCP pools on different subnets across the different buildings. If a laptop moves to a new location (say for a meeting or presentation in a conference room), the wifi network picks up the DHCP request and issues a new address based on what is available in the pool. If that user then goes back to his desk and puts the laptop in the docking station, it does another DHCP request over the wired network (which should be a different VLAN/subnet than the wireless for security sake) and gets yet a different IP address from a different DHCP pool.
Just about the ONLY thing that an IT department will assign static IP addresses to would be servers, and good luck claiming that an IP will point to a user on a server when there are potentially 100+ people using that server (we must have 50 - 100 servers for which at any given time there are at least 50 people logged into them).
You do it at your router. Easiest way is with a router that supports linux and use tomato as they have a whole bandwidth monitoring built in with good statistics.
I sure hope they used something better than the standard mysql database hash functions for which there are plenty of complete hash tables which exist for the function....
The answer is money. Sony noticed that they were selling a lot of PS3 hardware to corporations and research facilities which had no intent on purchasing games and/or accessories. They wanted to use them to create very cheap and fast computer clusters running linux. Since Sony was and is still selling the hardware at a net loss expecting to make the money back on game and accessory sales, these large number of console sales were creating a direct loss to their profits.
So first Sony did it the proper way and released a new revision of the PS3 which didn't include OtherOS (as well as other features like backwards compatibility with PS1/2 games), but stated they would not be removing OtherOS from existing PS3 (which many people were yelling about since they saw the writing on the wall, because there was no way Sony was going to want to have to maintain multiple firmware revisions for updates). Fast forward a few months and all the people who said that started the "we told you so", after Sony then announced it was dropping OtherOS. It cost way too much to maintain multiple version of the firmware as it causes double the amount of testing and work to add new features or tweak existing ones. After Sony had dealt with 2 or 3 minor updates they realized how much of a pain it would be as well and so dropped it, screwing everyone who was using OtherOS in the process.
I am really glad that the EU is at least protecting their consumers. Now if only the US would wake up as well. To be honest, the EU's response in my opinion is not far enough for the people who actually use OtherOS. Sony should either be forced to add the feature back, give a new PS3 to the consumer (and allow the consumer to install the older firmware on their existing PS3 which supported OtherOS), or give a full refund of the purchase price. That is the only way to make the consumer "whole" again.
And in those countries that have the caps, pricing models are very different as well. For instance, it costs roughly 27 CENTS per mbps in Japan, while even using Comcast's new service it is well over 5 times that amount (once you leave the introductory/bundled price). And several ISP's in Japan do not even have a cap on their high speed connection. For instance OCN has a 100/100 connection that is uncapped, and only costs approx $65 a month! Tiki-Tiki has a 900GB capped 100/100 connection for $36!!!! So almost 4x the cap limit AND 1/3 the price!!!!!!!!!
Its quite obvious to do, how long they can hold on to standard definition formats ? They had to make a move and they have to make it fast before ps4 and xbox720 chomps away the next gen.
Or how Nintendo has made a profit on every console sold, unlike MS and Sony who some still believe are taking a loss on the console itself and trying to make their profit from accessories and software sales?
Or that the Wii has still outsold both MS and Sony each and every month (with current totals being 85million Wii's, 50 million Xbox360's, and 48 million PS3's sold worldwide?
I could go on, but Nintendo clearly won this generation, and since they made a profit the entire time it has existed, they don't need to continue to squeeze the stones to get those last drops of blood...err....profit out of them, and can happily release a new product to continue to keep the pressure on Microsoft and Sony who have been struggling to make a profit on the current generation systems.
I don't think 99% of public school students in the USA would be able to answer question #2 in the arithmetic section, especially without a calculator.
Then of course there is question #9 and #10.
The algebra at least is something that college bound students should be able to pass, and maybe some of the geometry proofs.
Latin at least was a little more well taught back then, with the Roman Catholic Church still using it completely in their Mass and rituals. I would have had more of it myself had the state not ruled that you needed to have at least 2 years of a foreign language, but Latin did not count. Taking more Latin would have meant that I would not have been able to double up on my math classes sophomore year ("geometry" and "algebra 2/trig"), which would have barred me from taking a dual credit calculus course (it was taught by the same professor as a local college, and counted a full credits at that college for calculus 1... the only difference is that we took all year to cover the material, while at the college, they would have done it in 15 weeks).
Not if you designed it correctly. Our OOB devices are physically connected to a different network switch, on a different subnet. The only time there would be a reason to go there is if physical power was disconnected, or a physical disk/CPU/RAM/network needed to be changed. All other administration can be done remotely (which is the majority of what you deal with).
And I can say for a fact that the ones we have been using do not go down when the host goes down unless the host is no longer receiving power (at which time I check remotely the status of the backup power generator, battery backup systems, and even individual PDU, including what the physical power socket is that the system is connected to is outputing (volts, amps, etc). Again, if you designed it correctly, you should be able to monitor everything remotely.
In IT, there is another problem... ever try rebooting a server while logged into it remotely? Hint: All the connections go away the moment you reboot it. A lot of sites require that you either physically be on site, or take home with you thousands of dollars worth of equipment.
Someone hasn't been keeping up with their enterprise grade equipment management. Just about every major vendor has a solution for this exact problem. I have over 500 servers at my work which I can shutdown, reboot, change BIOS settings, or fsck hard drives all remotely. Sun/Oracle has their ALOM/ILOM. Dell has the iDrac Enterprise. HP has their iLO. IBM has their Remote Management Agent.
Basically they are computers within the computer, with their own separate CPU, network, and OS, which lets you fully manage the production server by giving you the ability to show the console/display of the device send keyboad/mouse commands even at the pre-POST screen of the server itself (just like if you were physically at the keyboard/monitor attached to the system).
Really, I would think that the company themselves should be willing to pay more for someone who telecommutes, due to needing less facility needs (space, cubicles, utilities) that would be saved from allowing telecommuting. And there is the added benefit of making sure all the equipment can be administered via telecommuting as you can then simply call up the IT group(s) and they can fix the problem from home without waiting the upwards of a hour that it would take to bring someone in to flip a switch/enter a password.
I expect a very quick appeal due to the Judge most likely still having a personal stake in the issue and/or due to the past relationship she should have been recused.
As my subject says. You are doing it wrong. The benefit of the Macbook Pro is that your hardware is supported for ALL the major platform OS's. So, what you get from running on a Macbook Pro is the fact that from that one box, you can check OS X, Windows (Vista and/or 7), and linux performance all from that single device. You can either setup multiple boot environments for full testing or virtual machines for some quick and dirty checks. This is what makes it the choice device for development work of cross-platform tools and applications, especially web-based.
It is that simple. If you want them to stay in engineering, pay them appropriately. Part of the whole problem in engineering at the moment with companies screaming, "There aren't enough engineers in the US that we can hire", leaves out the rest of the sentence "because we don't want to pay them what they can make elsewhere".
You know the one that was on/. the other day that NASA has setup cameras around the country that capture pictures of metorites and which calculates trajectory, distance, and potential landing sites....
Because the people smart enough for it see it as a bad career. Why slave to make 80-100k a year with a Masters degree when you could be making 250-300k as a lawyer....
Probably the best interface and organizer of movies, TV shows, etc., that I have seen. Add in the Moving Pictures an MP-TVSeries plugins and you are all set with an awesome interface.
I use the "fast play" button on my sony unit. It zips through the trailers at double speed. Might want to try that next time you play a Disc?
But why should you have to do this on something you own? If I wanted to watch those commercials, I would click on them from the menu. I should be forced to find the fast forward button. The studios are simply using it as another revenue stream, getting themselves advertising $$$ for including that non-skippable commercial on their DVD/Blueray that they are selling, and they certainly are not passing along that discount to the consumers.

They were cut off from all of that when they lost power to the control room(s) and had to abandon them.

Yep. They are lucky to even be able to plan a target for an attack, let alone a day/time.
Well, that and the lack there of for the Axis powers (with both the German and Japanese encryption code ciphers being broken by US/UK mathematicians).

As the subject says. That is the only one I know of that has versions for Unix, Liunx, BSD, Mac OS X, and Windows.

I mean, seriously, this is more like a FAX technology than a tablet PC if you ask me.

No it's not. You convert to a common denominator just like in fractions....

Just like the Microsoft and Sony sales chomped away at the current generation right? Like when Xbox sold 28 million worldwide by Jan 2009, and Sony had sold 20 million by the same time, and Nintendo had outsold both of them combined Jan 2009? http://www.shacknews.com/article/56613/xbox-360-tops-28-million http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2009/090129e.pdf#page=11
