Those first two usually come right after hello world in programming books... ok.. maybe not RIGHT after, but I've definitely gone through both scenarios in several languages while running through a programming manual.
except that this actually isn't security theater. It's the useful kind of security procedure that actually prevents bad stuff happening. Screening of cargo and investigation of suspicious looking bits of cargo is how they stopped the printer-cartridge-bomb plot, for instance.
Umm.. no, they stopped the printer cartridge bomb plot because they got a tip off from prince Mohammed bin Nayef. Security checkpoints failed to detect the bombs. It sounds like torturing prisoners in gitmo did, though. Since you don't seem to know what you're talking about you can go read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_planes_bomb_plot
So, yeah.. "security theater" sounds about right to me. Harass people carrying harmless devices, completely miss actual bombs.
I've been reading the headlines on this a couple of days....and I'm still not sure what all the rioting is about?
The police shoot someone over there, and they have a riot? What's the deal with that?
We don't lose our minds everytime someone get's shot over here unless it is something pretty egregious....I mean, we just finished the trial (not that much national exposure I don't think) about all the people shot on the Danziger bridge post Katrina by the cops. They had an orderly trial, etc. We didn't go all apeshit over it and riot in the streets over the shooting. The cops were caught, tried and found guilty, and convicted...end of story.
Then again, I don't understand it why other towns riot in the streets and burn cars when "their" football/basketball/baseball teams wins the championship.
Good thinking, point out a verdict that went in favor of "the people". When the Rodney King verdict came down (in the opposite direction) there were many significant riots... Forget about those? You are right, things are so different over there.
Yeah, it must be the case that he was selective about his example and has nothing to do with the fact that the danziger bridge trial verdict was only 3 days ago.
Here, I'll try it just like you... How about the 1985 Dorothy Groce shooting, subsequent riots (plural), and eventual acquittal of the officer who shot her. Meanwhile, cayenne8 is still accurate in pointing out you guys riot and kill each other when your favorite soccer team loses a match.
Google's main failure is that they haven't had a real big success after their search business.
You don't consider the world's #1 smartphone OS to be a success? What do you want, every competing OS to be completely obliterated before it's successful? Gmail is pretty successful as I understand it, Maps is also successful.
Like search, Google gives most of it's products away for free in order to feed their advertising engine. Since they're not making money DIRECTLY on the other products they might also get the benefit of being able to write off development and legal defense of other projects, too.
I think people forget that Google is basically an advertising firm, and everything else Google does is ancillary.
But when was it decided to connect industrial systems like this to the internet at all? Didn't isolation (or at least isolated networks) used to be the norm? I have to say if I was running a robot that build cars or a machine that controls nuclear material I would definitely not connect it to the internet or even a companies L.A.N..
Not that it makes these problems unimportant, but everyone seems to be overlooking the obvious basic bumble of connecting a critical system to a public network.
It could just as easily be seen as a security feature. Drawing the shades is easier than encasing your room in Faraday cage.
And while I'm at it, since when do hospitals ban Wi-Fi? The ones I've been around (Tufts Medical Center, Children's Hospital Boston & St. Elizabeth's) have all offered it for patient and visitor use.
It probably depends on the part of the hospital you're in. In the ER areas of my local hospital there are signs forbidding the use of cell phones and other wireless devices. There aren't any such signs in the waiting room.
I remember reading a while back, that per capita, Foxconn employees commit suicide at a lower rate than the Chinese population overall.
Wow, that is something I have not heard on any of the foxconn suicide articles I've read. Sensationalism at it's finest, I suppose! Any chance you have a link to the stats?
Nowhere did they say they could drive the car, just start the engine. My car has a remote start key fob. You can start the engine with it. Theoretically, someone else could also start the engine if they have the correct code. However, if you don't have the physical key in the ignition, as soon as you touch any control, including the brake pedal, the engine shuts off. It does no good to start the engine if you can't actually use it to move the vehicle.
That would take some getting used to. I always hit the brake before I turn the key. Habit, I guess.
OT rant: What's wrong with the insurance company? Is it that some insurance companies are inclined to not pay on health?
Realize, different types of insurance are sold by different companies. For instance, Blue Cross and other insurance companies don't cover property damage or sell life insurance policies. With non-health insurance, you probably have a choice, and I don't hear near as many bad comments about them as I hear about health insurance. Why? Probably because you can easily switch insurance providers for property insurance, and you had a choice when you bought your life insurance. Unfortunately, with health, most people are tied, by virtue of employer selected health care plans to a provider that they don't have any say in. I have the feeling if I had the cash that my employer pays Aetna for my insurance coverage, I could go select something else, I could probably get a better deal. I hear health insurance coops are a good alternative, although they have similar restrictions as the for profit organizations.
I think basically it's because the whole (non health) insurance industry has a reputation for doing whatever they can to screw their customers when a claim is actually filed. Couple that with the fact that in many locations insurance (auto insurance for example) is required by law and you can begin to see why people do not like insurance companies. They take your money from you and then do everything in their power to not pay out when they should.
You know, the fat cats are just abusing the word now. Perhaps we should redefine "Piracy" to mean "Whatever the Big Guy doesn't agree with". Looks like too much money really does make idiots out of us.
Sounds to me like a lot of you didn't rtfa. Ainsworth didn't win the copyright to stormtroopers. The judge ruled the copyright was expired and ANYONE can make stormtrooper helmets and sell them. Ainsworth just has the original mold in his possession with which he can make perfect helmets. Hopefully he'll be able to counter-sue for court costs, which sound like they're pretty massive.
As I've often been flamed for saying before, Apple product sales have very little to do with quality or features yet have everything to do with the current fad of apple being "cool". This just goes to prove that 35% of apple users openly admit it since they don't know what will be in the iphone5. Reminds me of that skit on the onion where the guy says "I'll buy anything if it's shiny and made by Apple."
Can anyone suggest a streaming movie service that has a selection comparable to Netfix and will run on a computer using GNU/Linux?
No. There isn't one because Linux market share on desktop is so incredibly small that no one wants to put up with the cost of supporting those few users. Most normal people run either Windows, set-top box or some console like PS3. Even if someone were to make such service they would immediately get huge backslash for the need of DRM (demanded by copyright owners). Yes, continue to use Linux, I do too. But if you are not willing to come even a little bit forward (like, accepting DRM or closed binaries) don't cry about it when companies don't want to support it.
Funny, the fanboys modded you down for speaking honestly about the situation. Free speech as long as you say what I want to hear, I guess.
It does not matter, apple's server OS will not gain a foothold in enterprise because Apple no longer sells server grade hardware. They suggest you run it on a mac mini or other consumer grade device with no rackmount capability and no redundancy. Apple does not allow the OS to be licensed to run on other hardware platforms (dell, hp, etc). The termination of the apple server hardware was a clear indication that Apple had no interest in the corporate environment; this price structure is just another confirmation.

Still running it on a Dell P4 with 2gb ram. Yet to see a reason to upgrade. I don't game, I don't code. What do I need to upgrade for?
Don't game, don't code. What do ya do?

LindowsOS used to be the answer. That is, until Micheal Robertson sold out.
Universities don't even make movies, why should they need sufficient bandwidth to seed?
Nowhere did they say they could drive the car, just start the engine. My car has a remote start key fob. You can start the engine with it.

We'll strap a big "window unit" air conditioner onto the ISS with some really long bungee cords. That'll do the trick.
You laugh but think about how much thinner an iPad or Mac Book Air could be if the screen doubled as the battery.
Though on the other had it would be like a small bomb if you broke the screen then.

I would boycott them because paypal sucks. They're one of the dirtiest business out there. They make other banks look saintly.
Paypal sucks, I've been boycotting them for some time. Lulzsec also sucks. I might open a paypal account after seeing this.
