The fact that one exists results in the need for at least two. "Green peace" type folks may think that this can be "rioted" out of existance however then, only bad men will have guns.

I suppose that once AMD finally complete their converged CPU/GPU/Memory strategy we'll see a couple of these pop up with devastating effect.
After PS4XBONE they need to go through another 2 generations before it could be considered mature and they will have the ecosystem to add incremental enhancements to the platform that would take others ages. The slowest part of the whole equation will be Windows.
Step 1. Make sure it compiles and you compile with the same options used in the current version deployed on production
Step 2. Make sure you understand which version was deployed on the production system. Were any fixes applied to the source but not deployed.
Step 3. Understand the scope of the component. The scope of a system is its user interface and its database. Input -> (Program) -> Output. The program can only do its job based on inputs (Screen, Config Files, Database, Integration Interfaces) and its output (Screen, Database, Integration Interfaces).
Step 4. Understand the list of open issues/defects. Separate between architecture problems and functional problems. Understand potential "flaws" and where the difficult bits are.
Step 5. Do a quick 1 hour skim over every module, file, and every function. Try and understand how it is logically organized. See if there are unit tests, any tests, how its built, how its layered, etc. These things you will not understand from the various functional analysis tools. (They only work if he's been a stickler for functional coding in conjunction with OO coding). Step 4 helped you prioritize your "attention". Figure out where the boilerplate code is (generated web services, UI interfaces, DAO, etc), which are the functional utilities classes, and which are the database/interface objects. The rest should be the problematic business logic/processing code.
There are alot more but the above should get you onto the right track.
What I found so intriguing about his work is how he took the time to explain how certain significant scientific advancements result in their ultimate effect on economics, psychology, and the human view on the world/universe. A harmony of ideas surrounded by a solid mythology.
Had to write a few java classes that executed as part of some trigger and stored proc transactions. I'm actually quite impressed at how well its been working. Uptime is pretty frikken awesome when I look at it somewhere in the order of 2 years.
All you need is something massive to move through the asteroid belt for a number of asteroids to get scattered across our solar system like someone breaking open a game of pool. The net result is that one of those astroids will hit likely hit us or hopefully the moon.
You'd also be assuming that the moons orbit doesnt change drastically. That may have some fundamental change in forces which might not affect the oceans but it would most likely result in a large number of earthquakes as the system tries to find some new balance between the new orbit and the internal spin of the earth vs the crust.
Someone sold an Xbox box for almost the retail price when the thing was originally released. They sold a BOX of an XBox.... XBox 1 is gonna sell like hotcakes.
They should release versions focused purely on improved security and manageability.
This should have provided the necessary hooks for cloud integration of a users information to cloud services.
MS should mandate the use of SSD for all OS bootups.
Very stupid of MS to embark on a change in user experience. People are now forced to choose between something they dont know (Win8) vs something they dont know (Apple). You can imagine which one they are going to try.
This is really stupid. There has to be some fair policy of information to protect both security and public knowledge. Just because some drunken officer releases some information doesn't mean that it should be public.
One day, someone will regret the release of certain types of information. It might be unfathomable to understand that now.
China wants Taiwan. In the event that that "boils" over, they would want an ally in the region to nullify the US bases. China will never let NK "go" for SK unless they were making a move for Taiwan. And that doesn't seem like its going to happen anytime in the next 3 years.
Classic.... Unreasonable minds need unreasonable responses.
Regrettably, most of the conflicts these days are based on unreasonable actions of unreasonable people who are not accountable for their actions because they are dead. This has resulted in the perpetuation of conflict. Someone once said that it is easier to change a block of solid concrete than it is to change someone's mind. Just look at family arguments.
For fk sakes - Why don't they try and make some of the services charged before retiring them! Even $10 a year from each member might be significant enough to run the platform.

Who said a yellow cat with a pink ribbon would sell millions? Social but only 140 characters and one sentence.....
This is going to catch on. Stupid ideas always do.
Guys, this is going to happen - Its all about oversight now.
Just legislate and make the filtering rules public knowledge and publicly available through a request for information.
Have any sensitive information publicly accessible and have a yearly forum to challenge the shyte.
Are the oversight controls in control of the people or are they in control of the select few for political gain?
Have a xfunctional technocratic team of 8 people from law, teaching, medical, engineering and 4 artists head up the oversight committee.
Done.
I know some ignorant people that will take these benchmarks as gospel in their righteous views.
They should name a couple of the asteroids after Culture ships...

Well... this changes everything. Enter the world we fear the most from people with long life and enough cash to ensure hegemony over the many.
They should rather start bundling Surface RT in baby/toy stores. Kids these days are starting early... Very early.

I'm sure china is monitoring as much as they can and more...

C. 50 years later, Enders game. (T+50)

Good game of Go... Yup. Its playing out more like a game of San Marco.

Thats one way to do it.
