I would suspect they would have to have gears to get the rotors up to speed but, judging from the picture, I guess they figured the pilot had enough to do, what between holding on for life, pedaling, and praying to the gods.
Nope, it prompts the question, not begs the question. You would be begging the question if you declared that the million workaholic monkeys would come up with a cure for cancer more quickly because clearly they would work more per day.
Nothing. Even though ISP's are permitted legally to read your emails, that does not mean you cannot use pgp or gpg.
Equivalently, Even though VoIP providers are required legally to make your calls through their services tappable, doesn't mean you can't use SIP and IAX (or whatever, inter-asterisk exchange) over an encrypted tunnel.
I disagree. In fact, what your company does is the exact reason a company hires you to provide services to them.
It's like this. You are a software developer. You write communication and telephone equipment software. You are hired by AT&T as a subcontractor to, what? Write telephone equipment software. You are not obligated to have them as your only client. You are also not obligated to give them everything your company creates.
Agreed that it's a different landscape of companies and services which you work with and perform. But then my response assumed the parent poster wasn't bs'ing about wanting to do something with stuff he created on the side.
At some point, if you have original ideas, you must create a company to sell them, if they are to go anywhere.
If you plan to work on anything related to your career outside of the company, create a corporation and work through it!! Companies don't write subcontract agreements that encroach on the sub's intellectual property, which is what you have! They write employment agreements that do.
If you plan on doing something with your ideas, then commit! Start an S-Corp, get some liability insurance, and have your "employer" pay you by invoice instead, and sub out your own payroll. You will NEVER be asked to give up your company's intellectual property by any business you truly want to work with.
Sure the opportunities are more slim, but hey, you're coming up with stuff on your own time, so put your money where your mouth is.
I did this and my client started with a subcontractor agreement that explicitly stated that my IP was my IP and their IP was theirs. It was refreshing.
Yes, Virginia, the laws are made to benefit the corporation. So Incorporate!
Shouldn't all of these portable technical gadgets glob into one utility-pod anyways?
So what your saying is we will probably have a single tool which will take the place of the following:
Cell phone On-demand information network Memory PDA Universal communicator Telephone (Land Line) Encryption dongle. Real-time video
That would be really cool -- wonder what they would call such a thing?
Seriously, this is just another case of things going full circle. During the 90's, I distinctly recall the cry for task specific networked appliances (remember those?) which only performed a few simple tasks well but communicated with each other as needed. So now we're saying we need a universal device which might not have the best interface for every task it does, but does a bunch of stuff.
This is a fad. Client-Server versus terminal (thin-client, whatever.) Talk to the elders, they've seen it before.
Face it. We have too much technology for the engineers/hackers to stay under the radar and solve real-world problems in private. Now we have to have marketroids and C-level execs dreaming up crap to distract us from the real task at hand. Problem solving. Well, I guess someone needs to create problems too, the same old problems, over and over and over again. Ugh.
Wow, it's worse than a Microsoft Marketing campaign.
Chapter 1. Politics. Article 2
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a revolutionary State which has inherited the brilliant traditions formed during the glorious revolutionary struggle against the imperialist aggressors, in the struggle to achieve the liberation of the homeland and the freedom and well-being of the people.
What in the hell does article 2 actually accomplish? Sounds like an editorial. I guess I've been taking the US constitution for granted. I had no idea.
Um, if the school paper is produced with school resources, and the school lockers are paid for by school funds, then the school has every right to search for them.
Gee and I wonder where the school resources and funds come from? Besides that, isn't the purpose of a school newspaper to teach up-and-coming journalist and writers how the system works and to peak their interests? What system is it they're being taught when these things are censored? Not journalism - they're being taught politics. You might even be able to correlate this type of restrictive approach to the education system's publications to acceptance of censorship that occurs in American news media today.
Parents should be taught that if they have a problem with something published in the newspaper, they should write in an editorial, NOT tell the administration to squelch it. That's how you respond to someone saying something you don't agree with.
Did you forget that Starbucks already has a deal providing T-Mobile hotspots at their locations? They are already primed for this given that infrastructure - play some little cache-forward/Top 30 favorites at this location kinda games to work on low-bandwidth points.
But then again, since when have they put up locations where there isn't enough traffic to warrant a proper network connection?
Hell, their almost always close enough to eachother to use mesh networks:)
it's sorta frustrating having a degree in business sometimes.
That makes sense, having been ripped of by a university like that, I'd be frustrated too.
Here... have a basic electronics book. And if you explain to the EE professors what happened to you, I'm sure they'll let you sit in the back of the class as long as you don't bother anyone with your Econ 101 comments.:)
I don't know if I agree with those, but here are some:
* The ability to tinker with the source. If you have a problem with a driver, you can actually go into it and see what's going on. Or have a knowledgable friend help you fix the code. * Contribution. It's expected that you give something back to the community if you can. One of these days I'll get back to building a driver for my Z-Star Corp usb video camera in my laptop. When I do, I'll publish the source and get recognition/feedback for doing so. I might be blind, but I don't see that interaction on the driver/os level with Windows. * Variety. There isn't some parent corp trying to normalize the software to the lowest common denominators of the users. Instead, there are 10's of ways to do any one thing with linux and they all almost always come with the source. * Upgrades. I haven't use Gentoo yet, but can't you just grab any "version" of it and emerge your way to the latest of everything? On an ongoing basis?
And finally, my experience with crash recovery has been much more pleasant with Linux than with win2k & XP. The fact that I don't have to reinstall every freaking application (due to the system registry) after I get the OS back under control is enough to keep me from going back.
This is true only if you do not use a docking station. A person placing a keykatcher on a docking station would use a cable extender to plug into the dock, the keykatcher next, then the real keyboard to make detection more obscure.
Same thing on a desktop, and you wouldn't see it just by checking the back. You would have to follow the entire cable to the keyboard.
BTW, that is your keyboard isn't it? Not just an identical one with a build in physical keykatcher installed inside? Are you certain? Does you company use standardized hardware?
Except that this is to Morocco, not the "poor African countries". It's more symbolic than anything else. Morocco is about as culturally backwards as any other Islamic dominated country bucking outside influence (not just Western, but all). Women are regarded as cattle, the religious brainwashing begins at 5am via loudspeaker while your sleeping.
Wake me when there is a Satellite feed directly to the "poor African countries" of which you speak. Which, btw, are ON THE OTHER SIDE OF A VERY BIG DESERT! I hope before someone spends time & money on that though, they spend some sinking wells into the ground so the people have water to drink while surfing the net.
I'll bet this ends up being a dead end path, servicing only Morocco. And "Morocco gets a free Internet connection" ain't that big of a deal.
You're so far off target it's quite scary that you believe what you believe. Rights not outlined in the Constitution are reserved for the people & state.
As for software that surreptitiously installs itself on my equipment and performs actions I don't want. Yeah, there should be a law against that.
You sir, scare me that you think this somehow inhibits free speech.
Free speech != right to advertise anywhere. Nothing restricts this company from saying what they have to say, just what lengths they may go through to say it. Trespassing laws don't violate free speech.
But it does place the burden on the test criteria to remain static. If it changes for some reason, I would suspect that you'd have to start with your original set of candidates to avoid having "evolved" into a narrow subset which doesn't contain the theoretically ideal fibre for the new tests.
In other words, consider the test criteria equivalent to Nature and the various fibers as types of animals. If Nature changes a few times, an animal ideal for the latest natural conditions might have been "breeded" out of existence by a previous change in Nature.
1) When you get attacked by a shark for looking like an oddly colored hour'derve from below, you can fire off your last messages to loved ones with time to spare before you bleed to death.
2) The next James Bond movie, where a support hacker team is stationed off-shore to help James. Of course, the team is off'ed very shortly into the island-fortress infiltration by sharks with freakin' "lasers" on their heads.
3) Florida surfers can pull up video of real waves while sitting on their boards in the Lake^H^H^H^HGulf of Mexico.

My understanding is that Euro-space just recently buried a probe into the asteriod 'Mars'. Aren't they still waiting to get data back from that one?

You need to work on your sense of humor then, cause your delivery sucks.
It doesn't matter what "anyone" thinks, you responded to me. And it was lame and nitpicky upon inpection.
No asshole, I meant what I wrote, Legos.
Whatever dood. I would never be able to keep someone like you as a friend. Too stiff in the trousers.
... a variety of materials that cover it.
So, are there any Legos? Cause, I mean, you can build freakin' anything out of Legos. Life can't be too far behind.
I don't know if I agree with those, but here are some:

You're a fool for using your office computer to do online banking. Haven't you ever heard of a keycatcher?
Keep in mind, you cannot trust a computer which you cannot restrict physical access to. Period.
No personal stuff on the office computer. Not because the company want it that way, but because you do, whether you know it or not.
So now all they need is a wireless link across the Sahara Desert.
Why is connecting Morocco to Spain such a big deal? Am I missing something?
Except that this is to Morocco, not the "poor African countries". It's more symbolic than anything else.
