1,600 likes from fake people pales in comparison to 500,000 fake likes from real people for a drawing or giveaway. EVERYONE is now doing a like us on facebook, win a ______ giveaway deal. I bet Newegg and Tiger Direct got over a million likes during their repeated like-based giveaways. Yeah, I actually like Newegg but I don't much care for Tiger Direct quite the same. But for a free chance at a gaming computer, I'd like the hell out of them. That's a problem because any idiot can spot a fake profile easily but fake likes from real people devalue the whole system much worse.
Apple pretty much ties your DNA sequence and entire family history back to the 1st century to your MAC address and Apple store account and the files themselves are still coming from their servers so I don't think it'd take real long for anyone doing this to get arrested.
People have been saying for the last couple decades that anything going to space should be flown up as high as possible with a high altitude plane then launched from there. The weight vs fuel needed ratio goes way up because then you don't need more fuel to lift the weight of the fuel over and over in some weird logarithm thing that end up with lots and lots of fuel needed. Of course, that didn't stop them from putting a relatively ridiculous price tag on it. Isn't the whole marketing point that it's cheaper than other methods? That doesn't look cheaper to me.
There are a couple misleading things in that summary. It's actually not really a "lightning flash" it's an electrical discharge that heads way the hell up into the atmosphere instead of touching the ground. They're like 10x taller than a lightning strike to the ground too (50 miles approx) This is less of a one in a million shot than they make it sound, as there's a lot more light emitted so it sort of bounces around for a lot longer than normal lightning. By the looks of the light spread in that photo, he actually missed the discharge itself and that's just the resulting glow. You can find some really, really good shots of what one actually looks like using google image search.
According to recent slashdot stories, they're just in time to have lots and lots of people prove how insecure this type of transaction is. Honestly, by the sound of this, it makes bitcoins sound secure by comparison.
This is an IT worker question, not a particle physicist question, so hopefully it's an easy one. How does the Higgs boson come into play when photons, which have a tiny amount of mass, are spontaneously created when a substance like metal gets hot. Is it a direct energy to mass conversion?
Everything G4 touches turns to a burning pile of dead ashes. They're like the grim reaper on steroids. That's the only explanation that's necessary really. But this show must be at least somewhat decent seeing as how a story about it somehow ninja'ed its way onto slashdot for no obvious reason. Pretty stealthy.
and yet we still have to call them "native" americans lol. At this point, some sort of small mammal would be the only thing I call a native american lol.
Although the current was very small (150 picoamperes), this event could cause a shift from the ampere measure of current to a smaller, more precise unit of measurement for electrical current.
They should name the unit something related to electricity which takes parts of the picoamperes name so it sounds sort of like it. I've got it! Pikachus!
Oh good, so now they can not only shine a big, bright, detectable light on the drone but it can also be traced back to the charging station on the other end of the beam. What a brilliant military invention! Since this has no practical use whatsoever on foreign battlefields, I think they just wanted to build a giant, high powered laser with a good tracking system. Now that they could turn into something useful.
Constant updates. Unless the user is an adminsitrator, they cannot install them. Their "corporate stable" path is, in short, bullshit. Oh and by the way, group policy can't configure a damn thing in it either.
Yeah, it's definitely the best commercial desktop OS...oh except basically no corporate software runs of them, they're ungodly expensive, you'll never ever assemble an IT department that specializes in macs, there's no common management whatsoever, and all your employees are used to Windows. Other than all that, it's the best! Get fucking real. I am so sick of you clueless apple fanboys posting bullshit like this.
I'm still trying to figure out why I'm posting this with 13.0.1 and it says there are no updates. What is 14 going to have, a new start page and a little dancing animated monkey? Are they already done with it? Why hasn't it been released? Why are they working on 15 already? Why don't they stop releasing versions in rapid succession so my company can actually use firefox?
I have an idea. Seeing as how I'm the IT Manager at my company and we just switched from blackberries to android devices, maybe they should listen to me. I can't remotely manage android phones at all and certainly not all at once. That pisses me off and makes it so I can't do my job. Why did we switch? The Blackberry Enterprise Server was one giant, glitchy memory leak that caused me to constantly reboot my server. I believe that software is also no longer free. Hmmm. Maybe since they are the only mass remotely managed phone platform out there, they should just develop software that doesn't suck and release it for free then market it to businesses. Then I won't have to deal with rogue purchases and games and music and internet radio streaming and viruses like on our awesome new android devices. The market is wide open, they just need to get their heads out of their asses.
Basically, this investment is a signal from Intel that it intends to push its technological advantage over TSMC, GloFo, UMC, and Samsung, even further.
Really? Because I love it when the person with all the money puts up a huge bet at the poker table. I can't win unless they do. If they play it ultra conservative, I have no chance.
If they start pissing off arrogant, self-important hippies and douchebags, there goes their core market. By the way:
Other CIOs in government and educational institutions, where Apple has a strong presence, could find themselves asked to drop MacBooks and iMacs.
Except ones that are already made are EPEAT certified so that would make no logical sense. But hey, take them away anyway and let them use a real computer. Macs are WAY the hell too expensive to be used by the government. I've heard of California's government waste and excessive spending but Apple products in the government is a new low for them.
A while ago someone discovered the "ideal" layout for a keyboard and it was 4% faster. Wow, 4%. I can type 98WPM. What application is that not good enough for again? Courtroom transcriptionist? Closed captioning? Yeah, I work in IT so he can take his keyboard and shove it up his ass. Change for the sake of change is a very annoying, expensive pain in the ass and we have universal standards for a reason...like for example preventing something exactly like this.
There are other countries in the world that get hotter than 100F and they have airports. Just throwing it out there. Something tells me there's a solution out there somewhere lol.
Many, many years ago (at least 3) I read on slashdot about keyless Lexuses being broken into in approx 4 minutes on average. They used a universal transmitter card on a laptop to try all combinations or something like that and it only took 4 minutes on average to do so. Oops. So that wasn't even some encryption key leak or something, they just never bothered to calculate brute forcing time when they made the car.
Of course, if someone is too lazy to press a button or turn a key to open and start their car, they deserve to get their car stolen so they can think about what a lazy asshole they during the long walk home.
Well, at least they made it run on Linux. Most software writers just don't bother to put in that kind of effort. Must be one classy virus writing operation over there to not leave any of the major OSes out lol.
This is why people feel like CERN is unsafe. It's the same "well, I'm sure all it will do is this: ______" mistake as the nuclear test except we know even less about the physics involved.

Darn, I had all my money on creating some BS called iPEAT or buying whoever is being EPEAT. I should have went with the obvious one.

The beginning of the end for Apple

I second that proposal, lol. And besides security, 1GBPS local > 2 MBPS (my company's upload speed).
