Possible, yes. Easy, absolutely not. When has initiating change on a broad scale ever been easy? It is a chore not for the feint of heart, but one that is necessary from time to time.
Simple. Keep capitalism. Make it so ideas and information can't be owned (copyright is OK, but affords no additional protection except for maybe the right to citation to prevent plagerisim aka fraud). In fact, let's just get rid of all the laws except for maybe a few hundred or so. The laws that we keep should be more like commandments (EG though shall not defraud another when entering into a contract). People should not be regulated. Incorporated persons should be regulated only when and if they interfere with the free market (eg. monopoly abuse, fraud, deception, etc). Let the people weed out bad behavior/ideas naturally.
TTWTF is that this is the 20th century thinking that makes such an act illegal (or even considered to be immoral). Insurance companies should be free to price their policies in any manor of their choosing, and we the people should be free to share and spread information to subvert their dirty tricks. Capitalism (as it is practiced) is not suited for the 21st century. It's time for a new economic structure, condusive to an open and free market place of ideas. 20th century thinking needs to die.
If anything is missing, it's probably only missing on Windows.
Support on Linux and Mac is jut fine, I think.
Exactly. I have used ssh for "everything" for a decade and half already. Moving files, remote word processing across town, accessing email. Anything goes when you can forward X. Might be tricker with windows - but I don't do windows and haven't used it since version 3.1.
How do you get around the lag issue? Even on a good connection down the street from my office, the lag is unbearable for me. One thing I thought might help (if anyone knows how) is to turn down the eye candy when forwarding X. If anyone has any insight on the issue, please share!
Your premise doesn't make sense to someone who doesn't recognize knowledge / information as property. Stop trying to convince us otherwise. It just ain't gonna happen.
I didn't claim it was wrong, only that it was useless and full of hot air...although I may be using that expression wrong... I usually use it for the occasional "know it all" techies I come across who like to use big words to confuse the shit out of non-techies, so they can hide the fact they are a know-nothing hack. Maybe this is not the case for AC, but all signs point to yes.
I have on several occasions recovered a working system from an infected boot rom, but it was not easy nor was it straightforward in any sense of the word. Agreed however that if a boot rom is infected most computer techs without a high degree of sophistication and skills will not know how to proceed.
This is an example of what I refer to as "A nearly perfect hack" (analogous to the concept of the perfect murder, leaving little to no evidence allowing the individual committing it to get away Scott free.) In this case you have a low level hardware component as an infection vector and the infection could potentially compromise the information security of the entire system without giving itself away to a malware scanner or virus detection. Even if some of the behavior of the infected system matches a pattern similar to a known root kit or virus or malware on secondary storage, detection and cleaning is confounded by the fact that the infection can re-occur and detection can be confounded by one not being able to trust the data integrity of the machine at runtime in such an infected system. The main takeaway is that the root infection is not where one would normally look for it, on secondary storage or in RAM. Fixing such a thing, in a nutshell, requires being able to examine the system component by component at the hardware level on a non running system which is a somewhat complicated and more involved process than a malware or virus removal or giving up and just re-imaging the system. There are tools to carry out such diagnostics and repairs but it is more in the realm of a digital electronics hardware expert than in the skill set of the average IT Tech.
Your first paragraph had me interested. Your second made me realize you're full of hot air. Eg. Long, overly complex, and unnecessary vocabulary. I presume to hide the fact that you offer no real insight on solving the problem.
I'm not a hardware guy, so I would I appreciate if a real expert would chime in here and ease my curiosity.
The 'older' exiled Cubans in America were never going to 'authorize' this. That Obama did, was, aside from the true purpose of stopping the absurdity that has been in place, a play to the youner generation of Cuban exiles that are in Florida and elsewhere that are of voting age. They're the ones this will affect in the coming generation, and not the ones who will die off in the next decade.
Politically, anyone who is damning this decision is an isolationist shill who prefers punishment, rather than progress. THAT, is 20th century thinking, and needs to be squashed hard and fast!
Interesting read, thanks. Wish I had something more insightful to add, but I haven't had the pleasure of giving Swift a try. From what you describe though, it sounds like it would drive me bonkers!
Perhaps the police would be more accommodating of blacks if they didn't commit nearly 60% of all crime while being only around 12% of the population.
You must be pretty stupid if you think those shit head statistics mean anything, when there is an obvious selection bias at play (EG. Minorities are statisticly targeted for investigation and prosecution).
Do you even think for yourself, or do you just regurgitate shit you hear from your drinking buddies?
You are either stupid, or have deceitful agenda. Either way, I don't like you.
We all love to hate marketing. But the fact is that people make most decisions subconsciously. And not just buying decisions. Some say emotionally, but there's a whole host of other sub-concious factors influencing our decisions, such as habit and hunger. Marketing exists not because of scammers and liars trying to outdo each other, but because informing people about products by way of facts and figures such as feature lists doesn't work - because that's not how people make decisions most of the time.
For sure there are liars out there, such as the purveyors of skin creams. But most marketing is about invoking subconcious feelings about a product, not misleading about what the product is or does.
Thank you for the insightful point of view. Sorry you to see you got modded out for it.

Actually, I think the article is talking about something entirely different than reflexes or muscle memory. I've been experimenting with this "turn off your mind" thing the past few days, and I've been finding I can do some things I normally can't. For example, I can't walk a tight rope to save my life, but I tried clearing my mind of all thought, not even thinking about the task at hand, and just started walking... Made it half way down before I became aware again and fell on my ass. I can actually feel it happen when I do it right... It's like my body is doing the thinking.
Sorry to double post this, you just seem like you might have some experience so I wanted to get your take on it. When should I use my conscious mind vs "going with the flow" (for lack of a better term)?
PS: Aikido seems like an interesting style, I will have to check it out. One of my biggest weaknesses is an aversion to punching someone in the face lol.

It would have been more accurate to say it's like the "Music Genome Project" (Pandora is the the commercial application of these efforts), but for books. The idea is to essentially categorize everything by weighted tags.
I appreciate your experience and insight, but for me at least, this is not the case. I'm a TKD/BJJ guy myself, so I need to be ready for the fight to go anywhere and be ready defend against anything. The ability to "turn your mind off" and just go with the flow is exactly what keeps me from getting my head knocked off. I would have described myself as someone who is bad at sports prior to getting into MMA. In hindsight, maybe I was just bad at sports because I thinking to hard...
It's just muscle memory. They drill this into us all the time in martial arts. When fighting, you don't have time to sit and think about your next move, it just has to come naturally, like some kind of instinct. I'm not surprised by these findings at all. Sparring is one of the very few activities that allow me to quite my mind.
Holy crap, you just described in perfect detail the way my brain works. I've never really been able to describe it, but you just did it perfectly... even right down to your past experiences in school. I particularly likes how you describe it as a living, yet static picture. The best I've always been able to describe it is; "I have a lot of RAM, but a slow CPU." Someone should make a myers-briggs-like classification specifically for engineers (predominately INTP/INTJ types?) . There are clearly some common thinking patterns at work here, and it would be interesting to see how they affect the way people tackle engineering problems, and what type of problems their brains are best suited for.
Due to the amount of product placement I've seen, I've grown to distrust anyone who cites bing as a source. I'm not saying it's a bad search engine, just that a citation of it in a clearly pro winphone post makes anything you say highly suspect. I would go as far as saying that the shilling is so obvious, I may have been duped into feeding the trolls... again.
RealityMod on stock BF2 is the only FPS We will ever need.
It still to this day gets updates (v1.2 just got released May-2014), the community based effort has fostered a higher production value than any of the commercial crap getting pumped out (they produce all their own high quality textures, record all their own sounds for every weapon, and had access to military equipment for recording the "big booms"), the gameplay is incredibly immersive, and team based tactics/strategy is the only way to win.
FYI, Flash is pretty much indispensable to the "eLearning" industry. Native applications are pretty much out of the question if you want to market to large entities that have a protected IT environment, and HTML5 is simply not fit for purpose with this kind of usage. We took a huge hit in functionality when we converted to HTML based activities (simple games, media, etc). I'll probably catch a few troll mods for praising Flash, but it truly was the superior technology for any kind of interactive content. Its problems were political, not technical.

It does not (or at least not well and not for long). The DRM on CC is an invasive bitch. I keep a pireted copy of CS5 to run in wine.
You can do whatever the hell you want, within the limitations of the hardware. That's the whole point of an open platform. Sheesh.
And all three are necessary.
