Well, given that the searches are always same-sex, unless the TSA hires predominantly lesbians, I don't see how it matters that those who the guys all want to touch are being touched by the women (unless the guys are on dial-up and can't afford a magazine at the corner store).
The paste issue is a Chrome issue that has been noted a couple times before, there is a javascript fix for it (sorry, no link at hand).
I know the person I'm replying to wasn't the original post, but I felt this comment would be most appropriate tied to the parent.
Genitals and breasts are vigorously groped instead of the older method of using the backs of the hands only.
Do you have a source for this? I haven't seen it anywhere and I am doing my best to keep up-to-date on the whole thing; the only mention was a local IN station news reporter who didn't cite a source other than herself, and it was from back on the 29th of October, the day when the back-of-the-hand 'enhanced' pat down was started. Which is to say I don't give it any credence.
As someone who is a staunch opt-outer to the backscatter/millimeter wave machines I am here to tell you that the alternative is great! The 'thorough pat-down' is more of a 3-minute full-body massage. Aside from the screener running the back of his/her hand down my crotch it was something I would happily have paid for (could you imagine the signs? "Get through security faster - take the 'massage' option: $5"). I should also note that they screened me such that no one else could come through the machine, causing an even longer wait for those behind me.
tl,dr: The pat-down feels great, screw the scanner and get something in return!
I should also note that they swiped the screener's gloves for explosive residue afterwards - a real increase in security as opposed to the warm fuzzy feeling provided by the scanners.
Yes, pushing harder will get it in gear, but at the expense of shortening your synchros life - much better for the transmission to hold off on ramming it into first until you're slow enough that it slides in easily. Or just leave it in neutral, let the clutch out and use your brakes. When you're ready to go again, just shift into first.
Remember: brakes are almost always cheaper than a clutch or a transmission rebuild.
Those who have experiences like the parent understand the value of higher education, and that it has jack all to do with what rote knowledge you gain.
In other words, please mod parent up.
You don't need to worry about EDGE to DDoS AT&T, just send lots of SMSs - that should handily take care of their network (or any other providers for that matter).
The GSM authentication scheme isn't particularly secure (i.e. not at all), but this article doesn't address that (it addresses how AT&T, and other telecoms, did IMSI security through obscurity by making them directly translatable from an ICCID... but that's not really what we were talking about - we were being off-topic!;) UMTS (3G GSM) does at least attempt to address the worst GSM(2G) security faults.
I haven't worked with OFDMA in a while, but as I recall it splits users across orthogonal frequencies and, at the same time, across timeslots (OFDM symbols). To wit - with 5 users and 3 frequencies we might see something like this (increasing in time, numbers are users):
This is as opposed to CDMA (or multiple-carrier CDMA, which a multi-user OFDM scheme might use) which uses orthogonal codes to mix multiple users across the same range of frequencies simultaneously; a minor but important point. Of course, there may also be some advantage to use a MC-CDMA scheme, but then it's called MC-CDMA or something weird like OFDM-CDMA, not OFDMA (as I recall).
I am very much looking forward to LTE (and it's being OFDM/A) - especially if it's offered in the 700MHz range in the US.
GSM's 3G and W-CDMA as used by non-GSM carriers of course have different authentication methods - I suppose I was just saying that 3G GSM is a 'ripoff' (i.e. uses the same type of air interface, which was what we were talking about, wasn't it?). I've enjoyed the back and forth, but I'm afraid we're really rather in agreement about most of this stuff, except I'm not a fan of the phrase 'ripoff':-).
You seem to confuse air interface/multiplexing types with user authentication/network access.
Yes, most/all 3G stuff is some form of CDMA at the air interface level. The GSM/UMTS advantage is in the SIM/USIM and being able to easily swap them.
Also, your cognitive dissonance to call GSM's 3G a ripoff of CDMA and then say that CDMA is incompatible with GSM leads me to think that you don't actually know what you're talking about. Then you mention netcologne - a company with revenue less than 1 percent of Deutsche Telekom?
So how do you feel about 4G/LTE being OFDM? Or are you just blindly being a CDMA fanboy?
(Those who consider this to be obvious should remember that the government is involved.)
Sorry? The government (at least the DoD) is very interested in IPv6 - here's one of the top hits from Google.
The tl;dr is that they have tons of devices all over the world that would be better off not needing to be NAT'ed. Not to mention they love the possibility of enhanced security, authentication, etc as part of the protocol rather than tacked on higher in the network stack.
Win+R ncpa.cpl - I don't think I ever used the GUI to get to it in Vista - Tried it a few times in 7 and then decided it had no value so just use that shortcut when I need it.
Perhaps your IT department pushed IE7/8 with an automated installation script so that it 'just worked' rather than coming up with a post-install setup wizard. Firefox could then have grabbed your search engine default.
If you muck with your hosts file Windows defender will flag it as a 'potential hosts file hijack' and, again depending on your IT department, may have set it to automatically clean it.
Hope that helps with the mystery (or at least leads to new ones:) !
Some form of spirituality is going to become more and more essential to keep the human psyche from freaking out in an endless series of myopic anxiety attacks. Either that or artificial brain enhancement.

Well done sir/ma'am.
Thanks for this reply!
I thought we were talking about an MRI machine - we all know medicine isn't commercialized, so what are we talking about again?
Your pediatrician took pictures of you/your children?
Yeah - I think I'd have at *least* MSNBC give him a visit.

They can't serve it to HP because HP is not a person
And here I thought corporate personhood was real now.
What do you consider a decent formatting tool?

CDs which have DRM on them should be required to specifically state that they have DRM and may or may not play on your equipment
I have seen nearly that exact warning on far too many discs (audio and games).

I always thought it was from kyuu kyuu or sadness in Japanese (not that I speak a lick of it) - can anyone more knowledgeable confirm?
And I dropped dB from the quote - 10*log10(2)dB, of course!
...a factor of 2 == 10*log10(2) *always*.
FTFY ;)

I can't tell - are you still working for Qualcomm or did they just let you go due to 'downsizing' ?
