    Yeah they FUD it to death ! They did it verbally using that line from the beta and by paying industry magazines to repeat that message even thought it was a lie.

    Having flown to Nashville last month, I qualify!
    I was better treated by the States
    In Germany, I waited in line, when through a metal scanner, then for no apparent reason the guy with the gun actually put a glove to touch my balls, only to let me pass through another scanner.
    In the States, I waited in line, went through the same scanner, to be told, welcome to the United States of America sir.

    At first I was begging to suspect that it was overly reported by the media. But last time I watched them during a connection and it seems that they target American citizen and a sheriff located a little bit beyond sight to watch for reaction so I am beginning to suspect that they do this on purpose. But I don't have enough samples to know if it's in intelligence technique, if it is by malice or simply under-sampling.

    the ambiguity of the law is contrary to its fundamental purpose.

    You should watch The mother of all demos.

    The concepts behind the personal computer were crystallized there. The only thing missing from that demo is graphical display of controls, but they have mouse operable buttons, hyperlink navigation, filesystem with hierarchical view, list and collaborative editing. Those stories about Xerox Apple and Microsoft display a blatant lack of historical perspective !

    Here I do that for the application expressed by the code under my jurisdiction, the web team lead architect does that for theirs and so does the one in IT. We have hardware-network team that keep the machines and networks running, all under the supervision of the info-sec team.

    That said, I've written my share of quick and dirty code. I always hated doing it, though.

    This is what I prefer, and thankfully, it is now a big part of my job.

    That being said, I have the chance to never have this code see production without being enterprisified by the professional developers under my command. The two frequent use case I encounter for that type of coding is when a showstopping bug happen or when a proof of concept is required before allocating resources to a project.

"There are many more text and SMS messages from and to the complainants which have been shown by the assistant prosecutor to the Swedish defence lawyer, Bjorn Hurtig, which suggest motivations of malice and money in going to the police and to Espressen and raise the issue of political motivation behind the presentation of these complaints.

    Yeah, my message was go for the gold dye! Sorry accet87 for my inbuilt +verbose modifier.

    Oxidation of the silver reflective layer over time due to pollutants in the air is perhaps a bigger issue for storage over a decade.

    The thing i like about reliability is that I know that the readability is still distributed according to a Poisson law (assuming that dye decay and reflexive layer are independent) with a different lambda, since, as you might known X[1](A1)+X[2](A2) where X[n] are random independent variable following Poisson distribution with a lambda of A[n] is equals to E[1+2](A[1]+A[2])

    In my experience, CD-R using a gold based dye do not suffer from that problem. All my CD-R from 1995 are ok, it was the only type of blank CDs available at that time in my place. For all my CD-Rs burned between 1999 and 2009, the unreadability seems to be distributed according to a Poisson law. It looks like that the durability of a given CD-R is random, it do not appears to be correlated with the dye color (except gold archival dye) nor the brand and only slightly with the year it was burn...
