    The fact you don't realize your .410 is not a .470 makes me think you might not be an expert in using small arms. Just a hunch.

    Sure it can; UAC should prompt if your (freshly compromised) flash plugin tries to make a change to your system, say drop files in the System32 or change registry settings behind your back. Maybe it's something you asked for and expect, maybe it's malicious and you should know about it.

    Still wouldn't help much if, as is often the case, the malicious code is injected and executed AFTER load time, during operation. It's a tough problem to solve unfortunately.

    The OPG applied for and got an increase in order to off-set conversation. Smart meters only cost you more money.

    Anything that cuts down on excess conversation is OK for me.

    Anyone with a few hundred bucks can get one NOW. Welcome to the future, enjoy your stay.

    Which sort of points out something important about the job being pretty good by local standards.

    "You keep saying that word, I do not think it means what you think it means. " Walled garden has always been used in reference to the app-store and such restricted signed only type platforms like the old Symbian phones. "In the telecommunications and media industries, a "walled garden" refers to a carrier's or service provider's control over applications, content, and media on platforms (such as mobile devices) and restriction of convenient access to non-approved applications or content." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walled_garden_(technology)

  9. Re:Reasons unknown?? on Robots Dive Deep To Solve Airliner Crash Mystery · · Score: 1

    As with most things in aviation, there is a procedure for this eventuality. They should have remembered the rule aviate, navigate, communicate. The procedure IIRC on this aircraft is something like 85% power, nose up 5 degrees, wings level. This will make the airplane fly properly and reliably if not optimally. It's suspected the crew got absorbed in troubleshooting and failed in some aspect of flying the plane, probably failed to power up since the autopilot on the Airbus adjusts the engine power without moving the throttle levers. If they looked at the levers they would still be at 85% but the power indications on the panel would read the real output.
