NSA is probably a decade ahead technology-wise - so if they don't yet have quantum computing they have something pretty darn fast to crack your scheme. Your solution just changes detection from immediate to postponed, which is probably Good Enough(tm) since I doubt the first telephone call a terrorist will make is going to be "I'm about the push the button."
Somehow I missed the part in the article where they were trying to sell this to Australian Aborigines. I mean, with that segment of the market gone why bother to continue.
Thanks for the interesting info, although I thought it was they didn't want their pictures taken while they are alive because it steals their soul?
"It could be offensive to some. I don't think it's appropriate..."
Could someone please explain why someone would think it is offensive or inappropriate? Exactly which tradition or long held belief that anyone might hold would this patently offend?
I would think that adding services such as creating the video and making DVDs for families could be a lucrative market (and good margins) which could be more easily introduced by having this tombstone on display.
What with the growing number of cremations these days (supposedly to reach 50% in the next 10 years) you would think that these funeral directors would be looking for new ways to make money.
I still don't see the issue here...
And to be sort-of humorous for a second, but mostly serious, if these things became popular I could see people visiting cemetaries to actually view _other_ peoples grave sites and seeing their life stories. That might be interesting. Until the flat screens start going kaput...
For all you saps who bought into the hype. I don't believe they factored in the cost of replacing your drive system after 6 years, or the fact that your car will technologically obsolete in 3. (and don't even *try* to tell me my H1 is gonna obsolete in 20 years)
I would like to rat out the folks that gave me my apparently counterfeit copy of your software. I can tell it is counterfeit because it always crashes and gives me Dr. Watson errors. I purchased the software from the following vendor:
Microsoft Corporation One Microsoft Way Redmond, WA 98052-6399
Tommy John surgery is to fix the elbow of pitchers in baseball. It used to be considered very complex, now days it is like going in for a teeth cleaning, and according to some it can actually make you better than you were before.
40 minutes = 2400 seconds Speed of light = 299,792.458 kilometers per second Distance from Earth to Mars: 55,700,000 kilometers (minimum) 401,300,000 km (maximum)
Time of travel at speed of light to mars: 401,300,000/299,792.458 = ~1339 second
Since Mars is supposedly the first place we're likely to go farther away than the moon it seems that we are fine for now.
Right? Or is there not a way to send data in form of light, or do radio waves travel slower than light?
I too got shoved to Ameritrade from Datek. Here are some alternatives:
E-Trade: In their FAQ they say that they support both FIFO and specific shares cost basis accounting. I do not have an investment account with them, so I'm not sure how this gets reported-to or modified-by you. Something to look into. They are more expensive than Ameritrade, but they pretty much offer every financial service around.
Fidilty: I don't particularly care for them, but looks like the provide cost basis info downloading.
Schwab probably offers this service as well, but couldn't find anything on their site
Most discount online brokerages will not offer this service, so you'll end up paying higher commissions or fees.
Just gave them a call to close my account and I must say that they (or at least the person I talked to) was well versed on the talking points from the press release.
1) Blame third party 2) Data is not lost, we just don't know where it is 3) There has been no evidence of the data being used
The woman I spoke with was pretty adamant about making these points and really tried to keep me from closing my account.
I am not sure if this sort of revelation usually results in a significant loss of business or not, but it would appear they were well prepared to rebut peoples concerns.
I've had replaytv for going on 4 years and I think it is the anti-Tivo. For me, Tivo is becoming the Microsoft of the DVR world - and I don't mean financially.
I have to admit that until several years ago I made this mistake. I have felt like a complete retard ever since. But at least now I'm in on the joke whenever someone else uses it, of course now I find every opportunity to use it just to show off.

Right. Lame, old school encryption.

Celsius? You Australians are so funny, with all your crazy words and phrases. We Americans find it so humorous.
You mean my know nothing boss is actually following in the footsteps of Microsoft?
I didn't realize he actually he knew what he was doing all these years

Actually, I've recently started driving my RV. It works well in traffic - I just just hop back and make coffee or take a leak.
Interesting

I wonder if they planned this crackdown timeframe with the MPAA so that the 'big' movie releases wouldn't be 'harmed' from the piracy of their movies?
It seems a little conspicuous
I like to call it, "break time"

Dear Microsoft,
I would like to rat out the folks that gave me my apparently counterfeit copy of your software. I can tell it is counterfeit because it always crashes and gives me Dr. Watson errors. I purchased the software from the following vendor:

Sincerely,
This that I have an image to search with...which is why I am searching for images to begin with - to find an image.
apparently we don't have the same dentist

"Radio waves are a kind of electromagnetic radiation, and thus they move at the speed of light."
Just found that on a web site so it must be true
40 minutes = 2400 seconds
Speed of light = 299,792.458 kilometers per second
Distance from Earth to Mars: 55,700,000 kilometers (minimum) 401,300,000 km (maximum)
Time of travel at speed of light to mars: 401,300,000/299,792.458 = ~1339 second
Since Mars is supposedly the first place we're likely to go farther away than the moon it seems that we are fine for now.
Right? Or is there not a way to send data in form of light, or do radio waves travel slower than light?
Anyway, someone correct me here

Is that electricity costs will rise proportionally so that we end up paying the same amount anyway.
Just like gas.
The next time the FBI asks for logs they are going to be a LOT bigger due to this story.
No, but I saw is in a TV show once.
Does that count?

Well, if he(she)'d quit standing around staring and write some freakin' music, maybe they could make some money for food.
What they hell is so interesting that they need to stare at it all day?
...as you're an old typewriter
I happen to be a rather new typewriter, thank you.
