Maybe in the future, the design of probes should be such that the emanation of energy creates a micro-sail. Maybe it won't matter given the heliosheath, but all other things being equal, I'd prefer its own forces to accelerate it, rather than hinder it.
This is simple. If you use a service like dropbox, simply house an encrypted "disk" on the site. You can put anything you want in it, but dropbox doesn't have the key. Sure, if you put a naked file up there, and they encrypt it for you, *they* have the key.
If you're that worried about your files, it's probably not a good place for them.
I didn't realize there was Federal Sales Tax. They have the constitutional power to regulate interstate commerce, but the Constitution prohibits its tax:
Art I, Sec 9. "No Preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the Ports of one State over those of another; nor shall Vessels bound to, or from, one State, be obliged to enter, clear, or pay Duties in another."
And this is exactly the point. Why is it that we have to give up ease to have an application? Why can't we have both?
Or, at least, why can't we have a set of "you can do this" that doesn't change for at least 5 years?
We replaced B with STRONG and I with EM which are effectively the exact some thing. If you think its different, sorry you're confused.
Tell me why exactly we needed to change tags?
Explain to me how change the name of a tag from B to STRONG actually made it so your screen reader worked better. I'm pretty sure if it knew the difference between B and STRONG it could do whatever it want with text and wouldn't care if the tag was B or STRONG.
Some douche's in a commitee sat down and decided the B was a display thing and STRONG was a speech thing and they are different and should be handled as such... except... they are used for the exact same thing. Same with EM and I.
An intelligent solution would have been much simpler... 'when people use B they mean to make that part strong and stand out, lets treat it as such.' instead of 'hey, lets create a new tag, that is visually identical to B out of the box, but has a different name, so that way we can identify it... unlike bold where we have no way to identify it at all!'
EM and STRONG are shining example of retarded changes to a protocol because some people involved in the discussion don't have a clue.
This is what I was trying to say. You, sir, nailed it.
Remember when it was ok to use a "b" tag, and no one scoffed? How about table layouts? It's funny, the new standards aren't always better. This is why a format "of the people" isn't going anywhere. I could teach my grandparents how to edit HTML 10 years ago. Now, not so much. Is that better? I'd argue, no. It's not that editing is hard; it's not. The problem is that we're turning the browser into an application-level container.
HTML should be more focused on making layouts easier, and faster. It should not be focused on animation. This is where MS Word has fallen off a cliff. If you want more adoption, focus HTML on what actually is important - layout that's understandable to the masses.
Look, PBS has ads now. They still require donations, but they have ads. Just keep the bar very high, and the disclosure very clear. Maybe you make it so that companies can advertise, but cannot advertise with any product specificity, and that all images must carry a small (a) sign to signify it's an ad? It's not impossible. Look, many companies advertise on PBS to improve their image. Wikipedia can position itself the same way... as an image builder. Just get past the begging though. It's old. If your idea is *that* good, you shouldn't have a problem getting ad money.
Remember, 40 years ago it was a scandal that the free happy meal postcard you filled out was how you were tracked for the draft. My dad taught me this lesson early on, and it's nothing but magnified. BTW, Thank You EFF for winning today!
If someone says that, "they just need a programmer", they haven't vetted the idea. If they really knew what they wanted, they wouldn't need a programmer - they'd need a contract fulfilled for a specific task. If you say that crap, you're just a bullshit marketing guy.
You're aware that Mr Gatling, a dentist by trade, designed the crank machine gun in the hope that it would end wars and killing... how'd that work out?
There are some seriously overlooked issues here.
#1 - new consoles are sold at a loss at launch, and are "buoyed" by licensing of games.
#2 - the hottest gaming platform on the planet sells most of its games for Free, $0.99, or $2.99.
#3 - the first company to blink (see: 360) will be trumped for the 5 years afterwards in specs (see: PS3)
#4 - mobile platforms have games that are much more popular per title. Angry Birds, anyone?
#5 - mobile platforms are mobile, and have much *less* hardware
These ideas combine to be a big problem. All platforms have introduced alternative controls. Xbox will never get Blu-Ray, Sony will never get a paid network as big as Live. Nintendo has success without expensive hardware. This means that no one has a big incentive to jump out and say "we can do 1080p more than before". I have a hard time believing the $60/disc model is going to continue, especially when EA aren't giving full content to resold games. Why pay $60 for most of that shit? There are about 5 games a year I'd even consider paying that much for, and I sure don't have the time and capacity to go through a large campaign plus master multiplayer pr0n. I want a game I am satisfied playing in 60 minutes. And you only pay $1/minute if you're getting a Happy Ending.
This is a solution that causes all sorts of problems. The reason they are scanning and ball-tapping is because they're afraid of underwear bombs. If you don't think this'll get you cavity searched, you're out of your mind!
People like vinyl better than digital audio sometimes. This isn't new. Leave discrete cards to us professionals and audiophiles. You iPod earbud wearing types, feel free to use integrated stuff. It's much better than it used to be. It's not external, but anymore it doesn't need to be. It's "good enough".
Why is this a debate?
I'm still not sure how this doesn't violate the Fourth Amendment. Customs has the right to view your belongings for *safety* reasons, and to ensure that the items you are carrying are not contraband. Does code constitute contraband now? Can you be arrested for having code on your machine? I'm not talking about copyrighted, installed programs.... if something is encrypted, isn't that the same as having a secret in your mind? You know they dumped his drive, but the main question is whether they're allowed to. Isn't that stealing from the passenger then?

Solve, sure. Prevent? Clearly no. Cameras do not prevent crime; only assist in prosecuting.
You lost me at "in Klingon". Lame.
We should all aspire to such clean and complete documentation. This is a 5-star effort.

Come on. The government? They always buy first, and maybe question later. It's your money they spend, not theirs!
Accuracy matters not in Security Theatre.
what it would be like if marketers could implement ideas (not necessarily their own)?
God I Don't Believe In, help us all...

They want you talking about aliens instead of TSA Gate Rape and Wikileaks. Simple as that.
