Hmm, I read the conclusion and the GA vs commercial airlines differently than you.
It does note it is an ever changing number for airlines and if a different time span gives different results (though it may be my damaged reading comprehension, as I still read it the way I did originally )
Your first example is a fairly effective attack, very expensive equipment a decent number of deaths (Better than say the lone gunman rampage, probably less over-all non-life cost but more people dead than the 2-man sniper team in DC a few years ago).
Your second example will NEVER happen again. Nobody will ever again be able to hi-jack a plane and take-over the cockpit. The doors are locked, and nobody expects to survive a hijacking anymore. The window of opportunity for flying a commercial plane into a building was closed before the end of the day it was first used as a method. It is a scenario that the flying public is the best security against, not groping and nude photography.
If planes blowing up were all that happened on 9/11, I don't think we would have gone this far at all, it was the Billions in damage, and the thousands upon thousands killed. It was the inferno, and the people jumping to escape it.
I don't know that your second statement is true (re: on way to airport).
I could be wrong, but I have read that over-all driving vs flying is of equal safety per person hour (making flying significantly safer than driving per person-mile due to fewer injuries, and faster speeds). I suppose airports could be in a more dangerous driving area of the road system skewing things, but in general i think you're worse off over the course of a flight than the drive there.
Also, this is the first page that came up looking for it, and I find equal fatalities for person-distance, thought 1/3 as likely to happen, but unless you're driving a total of 1/3 of your flights distance you would be safer on the drive.
Also, button + I for tab came real quick to be reflexive on my N1, it's still a pain that auto-correct doesn't help though.
I would say you ABSOLUTLY need at least a trackball/touchpad button to do ssh (it's control on the ssh app).
This makes Nexus S pretty much useless for me.
I really do with a G1, with better processor existed, I'd even except the crappy screen and large size for that keyboard, I just don't think it quite exists anywhere (some of the ones I mentioned I believe have rubber keys which I hate).
G1 had the best keyboard of any mobile device I've ever used (black G1, the other colors had were heard to read the symbols in sunlight).
The G2 looks similar (separated keys, diagonal no grid layout, buttons raised), but does not have the numbers.
My Touch Slide looks like a great keyboard with decent coloring, again without numbers.
FWIW, aside from when I need ssh, the touch keyboard is my preferred entry method when typing (essentially, not too much punctuation vs command line, and words that are almost always in the dictionary).
I find that portrait mode single thumb entry to be incredibly convenient, and two thumbs (but still in portrait mode) when really typing stuff out. Rare is it when I find the keyboard takes up enough screen space to be annoying. In landscape mode the softkeyboard takes the whole screen essentially and sucks.
Of the Android phones the G1 is the only keyboard I really used, and I do miss it for the times when I use ssh, but otherwise I don't. It was the best keyboard I'd used on a phone, and I have used RIM phones quite a bit in the past. The other HTC phones look good, but without really knowing the feel I can't give them a strong endorsement. Your Psion 5 is not going to exist, too think for modern sensibilities.
My understanding is that the banks responded by blocking anyone from getting a numbered account that had a US passport, and kicking those out that did.
My grandmother's friend, who is a US and Swiss dual-citizen had to move his Swiss account to Germany, as the Swiss banks wanted nothing to do him. Note this was not a tax-shelter or anything, the banks just didn't want to be at all opened to the US.
This is actually quite interesting and says a lot about the cultural shift of the internet. The mad linguist points out that a reference librarian would probably be able to do this, but the massive cultural shift of easy searching a lot of the collective human (mis)information available is quite amazing. Even if something existed in 1994, it wasn't the obvious starting point that it is today.
Internet really is quite amazing, and I think this is a good example of it changing the way people think, as an obviously smart person didn't do what to even a dumbth today would be an obvious first step.
No, but they would probably be differentiated, and if they specialized in tech crime it's a shorter word.
Also we have bank-robbers, not just robbers. This hardly even sounds like a cyber-crime as I've heard them in the past, as it doesn't appear to have taken place using cyber-space (or proximity wouldn't have been a factor).
I would even say the fact that location was a factor makes it not a cyber-crime (as the media uses the word).
Um, in my area there are a few small cellular options doing it fairly successfully, even getting a reputation of service that's spotty, but pretty damned good.
Metro PCS charges $50/month for unlimited voice and data, 3G, on a smartphone ($40 on a dumb one).
Additionally they have plans with unlimited calls to Mexico for $5 extra on the $50 plan, and $10 for unlimited international.
All with affordable phones, and no contracts.
Cricket is $55/month for the unlimited Android plan, affordable phones, not sure about contracts. (also hear less about there service, but my neighbor used a USB from them for internet and it was decent, and cheaper than cable. They throttle speed, don't charge you when you surpass the allotment.
These are pretty big steps and it kind-of reminds me of when T-Mobile came to my area (pretty good coverage, but not the best, 30% less than the competition, which T-mobile remains from what I can tell with $100 unlimited everything plans vs AT&T or Verizon $150). It's just T-mobile has grown, and now there's a new OK, not great coverage companies moving in at 30% less than them.
I've never seen a woman's suit, or shirt that was near as easy to iron as a man's. Women have pleasant shapes to them, and it makes their clothing less large, flat surfaces, and more darts and other things to give it a shape. And with the equipment that cleaners have the difference is even more dramatic.
Also women's suites are often poorer quality fabrics that may make a cleaners job harder (or maybe easier, as they are often synthetic). Additionally even something that is fairly similar between the two, say a sweater, the woman's is likely to be a softer material than the man's (though most cleaners I've been to don't distinguish sweaters).
Things that are the same are definitely not charged differently (hats, gloves, scarves).
Someone has a phone with a 250MB cap is likely to use less than someone with the tablet (the only reason I can see where the network would consider the tablet equivalent is if they actually like to rape the customers with overages. Honestly the fact that the price is more is to me evidence that the overages are not intended.
Where there were per MB charges (overages) the prices were fairly consistent, with a couple exceptions.
I think the authors premise that buying a 250MB/month plan is buying a set amount of data is false, it is only a set amount of data if you can keep it until it runs out and buys more. It is perfectly logical that different devices would have different use patterns, meaning that on average more or less data would be used.
Where is it that unemployment pays more than the job one was laid off from?
I only ask so I can move they and get laid off, as all the states in my tri-state area pay about 60% of income, with a max that varies from 330/wk to 650/wk
I mean if you worked somewhere good, then got laid off and went to KFC, realized it sucked, and then got yourself laid-off, you would get more than at KFC (minimum wage * 37.5 hour is 281.25, and I don't think there is wage tax on it either). But to get that you would need to have the 4 quarters used to calculate be at significantly better than KFC.
Anyway, please do let me know the state that uses a calculation that calculates out an increased number to the layoff so I can move there please.
I agree Ford is a way smarter company, and saw the way things were going early enough to restructure when it didn't have to (well clearly it did have to, as did the others back in the earlier '00s)
Ford has though received quite a bit of government. Help since 2000.
Use QT, do all your rendering inn QT canvases, QT adds support and all the sudden KDE has remote desktop as good as RDP.
It is a shame though, because I thought X + No Machine was a pretty good solution that was universal. X alone sucked bad in my experience and was often times worse than VNC (worked pretty good with admin apps though, where I would think it's most useful).
As long as they can get tool-kits and environments on board (I don't know really where it would go, but I would think tool-kits) it shouldn't be too big a problem to push remote rendering somewhere else. And it could be done at a higher level for more efficiency.
Are the PDFs on the website? It sounds like efforts should be made to make them accessible either way. It's not the formats fault that people are making image only PDFs without OCR text. The format itself makes an accessible scanned document easier than others that I know of off the top of my head (in HTML for example one would need to right an application that OCRd the scanned image and added it as an alt property to the image, if one were to use a word document for such a purpose I don't even know that it is possible).
OK, so the report is not bad, even though the summary and article made it sound like that. Additionally the number one problem is bozos setting up files, the number two is screen reader software, and number three is PEBKAC according to the study (from the summary)
Importantly, the Study also highlighted that the issues contributing to the inaccessibility of PDF files, when used with assistive technologies, are not in general directly attributable to the Portable Document Format itself. The issues that result in an inaccessible PDF file are, in order of impact:
the design of the PDF file by the document author to incorporate the correct presentation, structure, tags and elements that maximise accessibility;
the technical ability of the assistive technology to interact with the PDF file (via the relevant PDF Reader); and
the skill of the user and their familiarity with using their assistive technology to interact with a PDF file.
The article specifically mentions the scanned image issue (well calls it image only, but that's the only time I've seen that). I would argue (as I did) for scanned documents PDF is a good format, with acrobat offering tools to OCR somewhat (it's pretty good in my experience), while keeping the image in tact. I don't know what the wonderful alternative to providing things that have no value until scanned (signed ordinances in my city for example which also has unsigned copies as PDFs generated from the native application).
I will go as far as to say screen reader software and not Adobe, or PDF is at fault for bullet two (and as the article notes at the very least in general are not the fault of the format). Maybe my skimming was inferior to yours, and you are correct, the study does not appear to be rooted in the bozodem the the summery and linked article implied.

Considering they were caught before they could do anything I would say it's a fair assumption.
No, but they would probably be differentiated, and if they specialized in tech crime it's a shorter word.

Here's a sample from the one in the middle
http://www.dllr.maryland.gov/employment/claimfaq.shtml#wba
I mean if you worked somewhere good, then got laid off and went to KFC, realized it sucked, and then got yourself laid-off, you would get more than at KFC (minimum wage * 37.5 hour is 281.25, and I don't think there is wage tax on it either).

Apparently I did.
Actually searching only shows them grabbing for some green stimulus type money, thanks for the correction.
Definitely a smartly run company to start the restructuring during the "boom" times, rather than pretend it was all good.
I agree Ford is a way smarter company, and saw the way things were going early enough to restructure when it didn't have to (well clearly it did have to, as did the others back in the earlier '00s)

I like it, it can be quite helpful
It allows me to chose the right synonyms to get to what I want often.
Also, it's useful with the calculator, but that's hardly piracy related I hope.
I read this as toolkits need to support it.

Is there really a need to hunt down? Did I miss some news about him going off the grid at some point?
