Nope, all of your suggestions rely on the fact that you are telling someone who just sees variations in grey that a particular shade of gray is red. You are still asking them to believe you that what you describe is the color red. They can not observe the fact for themselves so in the end they just have to accept it on faith since the color red is just a concept to them. Your logic is circular which is just plain funny, I love watching people like you go around in circles. lol
I assume you meant "than they ever will gain mining bitcoins."
If that's the case, it's hard to say what their expected ROI will be. I know that in my case, I already had a 5850 in my machine (a very good mining GPU) and thus, with a little bit of luck I've 'mined' 150 coins in a month. At the current exchange rate, those coins would we worth ~$1000 dollars if I cashed out now, and I really only paid for electricity. Depending on the hardware they bought, and when they started (the difficulty has really ramped up in the last couple weeks), they could be sitting on a nice payout, assuming they aren't dumb enough to try dumping them all onto the market at once.
For my part, I'm interested in bitcoins as a viable currency and not just as some bizarre experiment in cryptographic "stock" to dump when I need some extra spending cash, so I expect I'll be holding onto mine until I can get some actual goods with them.
(Also, I hate the term 'mining'. It's really more like 'accounting', but it's probably too late to change anything.)
I am waiting for the botnets to start pillaging this "economy". Talk about return on investment, lol.
But again, this data does not come from the CCD. It is merely added as the images are stored. Do you seriously believe your CCD knows your lens model, and authoring information?
All of this stuff is added AFTER the image is in the camera computer's memory and documents the data at the time the file is written.
Unless you have citations to offer for your assumptions regarding the equipment used then you are making assumptions about consumer camera equipment and applying to purpose built equipment used in these setups. So, do you have the specs for the speed camera ticket systems or are you just giving us you anecdotal observations regarding your personal camera? Do you design systems such as these?
You seem to think you are an authority on the topic, but you have not provided any verifiable information.
Yes, some of the people responding are upset by the circumstances of your post. In their defense they get raked over the proverbial coals by internal/external auditors and security for the most minor of offenses regardless if they were aware of a rogue service/device on the network or not.The issue is that any device/service connecting to the network where sensitive(personal/financial/etc) info is held is a liability even if there is nothing sensitive stored on the machine. This is especially true if the machine is opened up to the internet because then it is available for any external attacker to use as a way to breach the network security. In regards to using a cloud service the main issues are what data will be placed there and who will access it. You sound like an intelligent person and I am sure you can work something out with IT that will meet everyone's needs and comply with the auditors. My suggestion is to approach it like this: " Hey you guys are the professionals and I need your help setting up a group calendar/scheduling system." You would be surprised how well that one works, assuming that your IT folks are up to the task;) .
In the end it is all about working with people to get things done and usually a little patience and understanding goes a long ways. Good luck!
I felt your statement was spot on in regards to Smith's position on profit seeking agents. Shaka's remark says more about his/her own position than yours. Shaka reminds me of Jack Nicholson's character Colonel Nathan Jessep in the movie "A Few Good Men", when the good Colonel scolds the prosecutors for sleeping under the very blanket of freedom he provides and then questioning the manner in which he provides it.
I recently read Smith's "Wealth of Nations" again and found his insights very profound in light of the recent economic crisis. Just my 2 cents.
That's where you went wrong. I always test the evidence first. I certaintly would not want to waste the time/resources of Law Enforcement with flawed evidence. Right?
Hmm, here in the U.S. where I am utility workers are not government employees. The very situation you described happened and the individual was arrested, arraigned and prosecuted.
Same here, IT and IS are separate groups but both are under CIO. The funny part is that most of the people outside IS think we are IT even though it is clearly not the case(the departmental listings say Information Services for us not Information Technology). To be honest I don't bother correcting people when they say IT, they could care less about the distinction between the terms and I have better things to do than be pedantic and piss people off.
The effect I believe you are referring to is well known in economics and elsewhere as the Laffer curve ala Arthur Laffer. Although Laffer made the concept well known, IIRC Keynes is credited often for developing the idea.
Think honey pots and disinformation. It also lets us know what information they are interested in and thus maybe what they are up to. Just my 10 cents;)
It depends on where and how far you're driving, but here in Portland, Oregon it ranges from approximately 30MPH on neighborhood streets to 60MPH on the freeway within the city. Once you get outside of the city limits, the limit on the freeway jumps to 70MPH.
There is a bit of variance depending on which state you live in here in America, but our limits are pretty typical for this country.
IIRC... The max posted speed on I-5 anywhere in the state of Oregon is 65 mph. As for the freeways running in the city(Portland,OR) I believe most are posted at 55 mph(at least the 405 is).;)

The police never asked for Mr. King's logs, they just busted in and seized his equipment.

It appears to me that they simply assumed the guy responsible for the Internet connection was... you know... responsible.
They assumed and therein lies the problem, but hey don't let the facts get in the way because that's inconvenient. ;^P

Yes, I saw that and had similar thoughts. Also they should look at virtual environment and look at Interactive python

You're right. I was confusing Oregon's posted speeds with those of Washington thanks to all the trips I've had to make up to Seattle recently.
Still, my point remains: For most U.S. cities -- even the larger ones -- this car doesn't make a lot of sense.
I agree, the vehicle does seem to be a bit of a stretch for most of the U.S. market.
It depends on where and how far you're driving, but here in Portland, Oregon it ranges from approximately 30MPH on neighborhood streets to 60MPH on the freeway within the city. Once you get outside of the city limits, the limit on the freeway jumps to 70MPH.

I have used Boa constructor for quite awhile now on both win32 and Linux. I also use it to connect to my CVS server and Zope. Good Stuff.
I am really pleased with my D-link gaming router.
My voip works great now!
Cheers.
