Um, who cares if it's live, going, or in a pile in a room. If it has valid data on it it is still a viable target and needs to be secured in whatever way is necessary. It's even worse if it was a system that was still online, supposed to be marked for decommissioned and they just didn't keep up on securing it anymore.
I like the new mobile site it is very clean, but the biggest problem I have is you can't select your comment score threshold. I like to browse from 2 to 4 depending on the number of comments I get back, but the "Top Rated" link doesn't give me as good of control over what I want to see at the time and quite often I'll get 1's in there.
My only other issue is that it is *very* touchy and sometimes trying to grab the screen to scroll gets interpreted as a tap and it loads up the article.
Already has once. I had a '01 Intrigue with OnStar that required an upgrade because it still used the old AMPS system. Plus side was it had a 3-watt transmitter (unlike the normal 0.6-watt on a cell phone) and the analog network covered damn near 99% of the US even in the middle of nowhere you'd have perfect signal. Downside was I think they wanted something like $400 to do the upgrade and I was getting rid of my car anyway.
They'll see what happens when their visits drop. People can't be expected to remember every paper that there is and go to each individual site when attempting to find a specific story. This will only be to the papers' detriment.
You have got to be kidding. I was in a meeting yesterday and 6 of us had iPhones on the table, only 1 had a case on it. Most tech people I know don't use cases because they know how to handle their phones and not drop them.
So what is exactly is suffering for gaming? Has the hardware been gimped? Can you not just pop a game in and play it? The XBox is being slotted as a media platform, not just a gaming platform and it seems to be doing that rather well, just look at the sales. Just because it's not the uber-hardcore gaming machine you're expecting does not make it bad. If you really want that go build a PC. But as long as it plays games and you still have access to game content, all while providing additional entertainment and media options, I fail to see the issue.
To be honest, I use mine mainly for Netflix and other media related options. Occasionally I do play a game, so it fits perfectly for me. It's no longer just a "gaming console".
I guess it all comes down to how often do you want to pay for it? One time up front, or every single time you want to listen to it. For me it's the former. Also, the biggest fallacy in the article is "If their music is constantly available anywhere on any device, then 'what's the difference?" What happens when the service you're streaming from is no longer available or the RIAA revokes the licenses. What happens then? I guess people will just move on to the next hit and not care.
So that look really cool and all, but I'd like to know, what if they diverted the beam and did not have the the "beam dump" on the end? What would the proton's do?
I think the way I like to see it is a common data access and back-end processor and then exposing things via APIs so that the front ends can be written in native/web/smoke signals, whatever you want allowing you to take advantage of the target devices best capabilities.
If you're out San Antonio way, I can give you a tour of Rackspace's Headquarters. Can't claim to be as cool as pixar, but got quite a few people who'd probably want to meet you.
It usually varies every place I've been between the quality/age of the hardware and the competency of the users. Additionally it depends on how automated the system is, and whether there's a dedicated support staff. Small places I've been I've find you can do about 45-75 comfortably... It was a bit stretched when it reached 100:1
I've found the best thing is to treat them like a corporation. Make sure their accounts are only user level, and either hold on to the Administrator password or make sure they know the real reason to use it. Done that with a few family friends I do work for and the amount of trouble i've had has dropped drastically.
I need to check my comments, but I've actually done the +5 Windows better than Linux. I remember it was a thread about domain type management of systems.
Um, do what any network admin does with a rouge device. Search out what port its MAC address is connected to and then start tracing the cable?
I'm fairly certain most all current managed switches allow for this. Even with unmanaged ones you can hunt down which unmanaged switch it is connected to and snoop from there.
Instead of simply repositioning an object from point A to point B, the player enters point A with full velocity and exits point B with the same speed, but moving in a new direction.
In other words, speedy thing goes in, speedy things comes out?
unless the site was compromised and everyone started receiving the false certificate. Maybe they could also have a store of previous certs to compare it against?
Ah, California, where everything is known the cause cancer. I just got back from a trip there and saw those signs everywhere, even on most buildings. It seems to the locals it has even become a running gag.
I have owned a AVR-3802, AVR-3803 and now a AVR-3808CI as well as the DVD-2900 universal player and I have been extremely happy with everything that they do, from upconversion to quality. My jaw dropped when I saw this and I was seriously hoping it was a joke. I am tempted to drop them a line and ask them but I don't think it would go anywhere.
Sadly, don't let this single product affect your opinion of them. Maybe they're doing it as a test to see how many truely stupid people are out there.
"One may bask at the warm fire of faith or choose to live in the bleak certainty of reason - but one cannot have both." Your sig reminds me of this phrase: "Give a man a fire and he'll be warm for the night, set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life."

Other than that, great job guys!

More like "Jeff's Nuts" roasting on an open fire.
Make me wonder how they rigged that one up.

Though your post was informative, the sound you heard as you were typing it was the joke of the parent post doing mach 4 over your head.

That's a hell of a lot of napkins...

So does this mean you can cite wikipedia as a valid source since it's in print! (yes, i'm joking)
One of my favorite quotes (paraphrased): "Do you know what type of suicide rate we'd have if every idiot killed themselves? Yes, an acceptable one."
Also, I believe the punishment for attempted suicide should be death. If you can't do it right, we'll do it for you.
