At one point, Linux did not have 10% of the features it has now.
Imagine if the people who developed and adopted Linux had said "It doesn't have 10% of the features that my current O/S has. Why should I bother with it?"
illegal: 1. forbidden by law or statute. 2. contrary to or forbidden by official rules, regulations, etc.: The referee ruled that it was an illegal forward pass.
Anything against law, be it civil or criminal law, is illegal.
In other words, you are buying into to all the anti-science propaganda.
And, unfortunately, probably read/watch a lot of science fiction. Am I the only person who has noticed that in most science fiction, scientists are often the cause of the disaster, and sometimes they are not the cure, but rather some random person?
More and more, I see SF as putting out the message "scientists as a group are stupid, shortsighted, and dangerous, only the lone researcher who disagrees with the group knows what is actually going on, and the pitchfork/torch wielding crowd have the right idea on how to fix things."
Maybe it is the terrorists who are recruiting people who have an engineer's mindset. All the better to blow things up, if one knows how things are put together and where to do the most damage.
GPRS hooks into the PDSN, generally at the cell tower, passing only authentication and accounting data using RADIUS or something similar. SMS does not.
Ok, there are servers, licenses, development costs, and infrastructure. Not just installing new cell towers but also maintaining the current towers, providing the data links for sending calls and text messages to other carriers, etc. Then, there is the fact that a single tower can only handle so many users making calls and sending text messages. You know, the limitations of wireless bandwidth. Then there is the cost of people: operators, technicians, testers, programmers, support personnel, etc.
It may cost two cents to send a text message across the network, but how much does it cost to keep the network up, in place, and growing to support demand for new products and services as well as demand from new customers.
Or would you prefer to pay two cents a message and only be be able to send thirty characters text messages to people on the same network as yourself?
in many/most cases the shotgun is superior because it is less likely to cause unintended damage.
Um, do you have any experience with shotguns other than Doom/Quake? A shotgun fires a number of pellets that spread rapidly into a cone shape. After about 30 ft, the spread will be about 12 inches. With 00 buck shot, that is 8 pellets somewhere in a one foot circle. Think about a shoulder shot with 4 pellets missing the target entirely. They will be heading down range and can easily hit a bystander. Shotguns are great weapons for close in fighting, especially indoors and in heavy brush, due to limited range. At anything more than 60 ft, they loose effectiveness and are a danger to anything down range.
Oh, and shotgun pellets can go through walls just fine. Especially 0 or 00 buck shot at close range. The big difference is that the shotgun will put a 2-3 inch hole in the wall and create more shrapnel.
Semis are already charged more. Charges are assessed by the number of axles. So, if a car is charged $.50, then a semi is charged $1.25 or more.
And you may want to give the semis a break because without semis, you would have no food, gas, possibly no water (chemicals for the treatment plants arrive on trucks), clothes, computers, etc.
Almost everything you have has been on a truck at some point in time.
Do you want to work 12 to 9PM? How about 5AM to 2PM? The problem is in getting employees who want to work at the times you propose. Or don't employees matter in your world?
May as well propose that companies have every employee telecommute that can telecommute. It will go over just as well.
And Novel, Redhat, etc can get a tax deduction for growing their business too. All they have to do is donate support licenses and training for their product.
Oh, ok... no they were just past the first pylon when the monster trashed the middle of the bridge. The characters were strung out with Jake/Jason, whatever his name was in the lead followed by Marlena and Lilly, and then Rob and Hud.
Rob gets Beth's call and stops, Hud yells for the rest to stop. Beth and Lilly stop and then tell whatever his name is to stop. He climbs a light poll to see what is going on and yell back at them.
While that may be the point, I ended up not caring about the people in the movie because there was too little background on them. And, I found the characters to be, in varying combinations and degrees, asinine, rude, selfish, and/or stupid. I didn't care about them and didn't care if they lived or died.
In order for a movie to succeed as a story about the "people", the movie must give you a reason to care about the characters as people. Cloverfield completely failed in that regard.
The principals try to escape across the Brooklyn bridge, which gets smashed, Jake? dies. Rob, Lilly, Marlena, and Hud run around trying to get to Beth. They go into the subway, get attacked by the things that come off the monster and Marlena gets bit. They find there way to a military center, Marlena dies by exploding head caused by the bite.
A soldier lets the rest go look for Beth. They go to her building, which has collapsed into another building. They climb 50+ floors, cross to her building and find her and pull her off a piece of rebar that is through her shoulder. They then run down said stairs with Beth, get to a helicopter to be evaced. Lilly gets put on one and flies off. The rest get on another just as monster attacks.
They bomb the monster, which gets hit in the back. It then jumps up out of the dust cloud, hits/bites the copter, which crashes in Central Park. Rob, Beth, and Hud survive the crash, no one else does. Monster comes out of no where and eats Hud. Rob grabs the camera and he and Beth take shelter under a foot bridge in the park while the military bomb the monster. they film good byes and then bombs hit and that is the end. Don't know if they died or not.
The DNS server in question was publicly accessible, was configured to allow the zone transfer, and zone transfers are a part of the normal operation. All the data transfered is information that is supposed to be available.
The "nasty papers Diebold didn't want published, or the Halloween memoirs, or the Guantanamo files, or any other material accidentally left in a public place" were not intended to be made public, may have been acquired illegally, and could reveal trade secrets, corporate strategies resulting in insider trading, or expose national security information. Also, unless said documents are in some way authenticated, their is no way to ensure they are in fact authentic.
You put your trash on the street. Someone comes along and picks out the recyclables. You claim he stole them
You put your phone book out on a stand with a sign that says "Look up numbers, free!". Someone comes along and looks up 18 pages worth of numbers and writes them down to take away. You claim he was not authorized do so.

Thanks for playing, now STFU.
You miss the point of my comment.
Please explain, in detail, why it is appropriate.

Most of a hard drive is made of aluminum. Disassemble, mix, and sell to local recycling plant.
I think you are underestimating the idiots. Just look at the "truthers", the ID supporters, etc.
One may have gone down, but two have taken it's place!
Bwahahahahaha!
I have heard repeatedly about professors repressing and oppressing students who do not share they left leaning politics.
This is just the pot calling the kettle black.

Show me where a FLOSS company has done similar.

Then the monster smashes the bridge.

Oh, yeah. I spent a good portion of the movie wanting to punch him in the head.

Um, no, not even close.

Two very different situations.
No, bad analogy, no treat.
Better analogies:
You put your trash on the street. Someone comes along and picks out the recyclables. You claim he stole them
You put your phone book out on a stand with a sign that says "Look up numbers, free!". Someone comes along and looks up 18 pages worth of numbers and writes them down to take away. You claim he was not authorized do so.
