The thing is, before nearly every Windows release we get an article (or several articles) saying how terrible the new version is, but it still sells like hotcakes because - well - selling new copies of Windows that come preloaded on nearly every PC in the world is about as difficult as falling off a log. Windows 8 will be a roaring success, regardless of whether it is good or bad.
I bought a 3 MiFi in Blackpool, coverage seems to be fine. I use the £10 payg data with the MiFi whenever I'm in the UK (or the £3 one day thing if I'm just passing, it's a lot cheaper than airport WiFi)
It's not interesting at all. There is more than one person, so the fact that one person may complain that Windows is malware prone for non power users might - just might - not be the same person who is complaining when Microsoft obstructs an attack vector. It is not at all surprising that in a large group of people, there may be differing and even conflicting opinions on a subject.
Southwest is a major US airline. They have never reported a loss in their entire history, and have never gone bankrupt. They were the only airline that didn't knee jerk slash schedules after 9/11. Their planes were still pretty full in the aftermath, too.
Perhaps it's because they understand how to run an airline, instead of whine that the old business model doesn't work anymore.
Since it's already really easy to extradite someone from the UK to the US (probably the easiest country in the world to extradite someone to the US from), why would they go through this extra step of sending him to Sweden first? I just don't buy this particular conspiracy theory. If the US wanted to extradite him, they would have done it directly with the UK.
- make staff accounts require 2 factor authentication - have student machines on a different subnet subject to different rules than the staff subnet, so even knowing a staff password doesn't get you any more access
Well, the NHS worked fine for me. I had an accident where my hand went through a glass door, and the glass cut my wrist to the bone - both arteries, all the flexor tendons, median nerve etc. The NHS repaired it, it was not a trivial repair requiring hours of microsurgery. I have no loss of function in that hand. When I was living in the US and was doing my aviation medical, the US aviation doctor's remark was "They did a really good job on this" when he saw the extent of the injury and the quality of the repair.
The vast majority of my family and friends contact with the NHS has been positive.
That's irrelevant. It's the ability to service debt, not the absolute debt that matters most. Greece may have less debt per capita but they can't service that debt. The US has no problem in servicing its debt (political will issues aside).
The problem with the US is immigration is a tortured, slow process whereby you have to be an H1 worker for a time then work on a tortured, slow process to get a green card.
Canada has a simple points system, and is so close to being as good as the US (and in many respects better), going with the simpler immigration system is probably going to be the best choice.
Other than that, the original poster can go to Britain. It's not in the eurozone, there's lots of IT opportunities, and you can just move there on a whim because it's part of the EU - no visa required.
Sorry to be a spelling nazi, but "...more servers and bandwith than NASA". The word "then" means something completely different to "than", and E and A are far enough away I won't believe it's a typo...
Well, it is a pompous and arrogant statement, in many places they won't be able to speak English, especially if you go away from anywhere touristy.
I started learning Spanish 4 years ago, basically because I felt like some Imperialist speaking English slowly and loudly at foreigners. It has had benefits I never even imagined, and never went out intending to have when I learned it. I only started so I could learn enough to do touristy things - get a hotel room, order a beer, get food, find directions, but it sort of turned into an addiction when I found out that learning languages was actually fun, and not the dull boring slog they made us do when they forced us to learn French at school (and unfortunately, I still don't speak more than 2 words of French. I learned almost nothing about French at school, partly due to lack of effort, partly due to the sheer boredom that the method to teach French in school induced. Learning language should be fun, and it's something humans do naturally, and turning it into a boring difficult slog is completely counterproductive, and school language teaching has failed generations of kids in this country).
Some of the unintended consequences that have happened: I've now got a whole heap of Spanish friends, and good friends too. I've discovered new music I never would have discovered. TV and films I would never have known. Food that I would never have tasted otherwise, all because speaking the language gets me places I otherwise wouldn't have been. All of those have been ten times worth the effort of learning Spanish, and it was fun to do anyway! And when we talk about highly technical subjects, we understand each other a lot better. Even if a Spanish person is speaking English, I can understand why they make certain errors in English and what they mean when they make these errors so it's been enormously helpful even if the person I'm talking to is actually speaking English. The time spent learning Spanish has paid off for me more than 100 times. With a little more effort I'll be fluent. I'm not a kid either, I was 36 when I started learning it. (I actually gave a talk in Spanish with only 14 months of learning under my belt, it's actually not as hard as you expect since you can prepare beforehand). And yes, I now use Spanish every day.
Also there have been studies that have shown that bilingualism may be more effective in slowing things like Alzheimers than drugs.
Why not? Your prefix won't be something that changes, it'll be the same across the network - easy to remember. I can remember our prefix.
For things that don't use stateless autoconfiguration (i.e. the stuff you need to know the IP address of on your network, just in case you're having DNS problems), you can give it a memorable address. The last bit of the IPv6 address being "::dead:beef" or "::baad:f00d" or "::b00b:l355" or even just "::2" is no harder to remember than the last octet of an IPv4 address.
So basically Phoenix is like Houston with even more heat and nowhere decent to eat out. At least Houston was judged consistently to be one of the best cities to go out for a meal.
Slashdot doesn't have to be an online coffee shop with these people to realise that marketing is relevant to how a product will sell. Nor is it key to the realization that the Windows brand probably has negative worth in the phone handset market.
Many people buying a phone aren't just buying a phone but also an accessory. A vast number of people do care that their phone is cool. But the brand "Windows" has the perception of something boring that you have to use at the office to do dull tasks. On the other hand, iDevices (iPod, iPhone, iPad) have the perception of being something fashionable and fun to use. Google is also seen as being cool and providing stuff that is fun to use. But Microsoft Windows? Boring beige PCs that you use in offices. Not exactly the marketing image you want for what will be a personal accessory.
That's actually significantly cheaper than roaming charges on 3G, which are usually about 1.50/MB (MB, not GB) or about 1500 eur per GB. So satellite internet is actually two orders of magnitude cheaper than 3G roaming!
Actually what you want is for zero current to be flowing in one state, and zero current to be flowing in the other state, too. That's the idea behind CMOS, which apart from leakage current, current only ever flows* during the transistion from one state to the other (because while it's transitioning, both N and P channel transistors will be conducting to some degree).
* (Current may well flow in the quiescent state, if the device is being used as a switch for something through which current flows, such as an LED).

As an enterprise IT manager, users should not have access to the hosts file anyway so enterprise IT managers shouldn't care.
Enterprisey setups should not be granting direct connections to website, they should all be going via a proxy which does the DNS lookup for the PC.

You can do various things to mitigate this:
- make staff accounts require 2 factor authentication
- have student machines on a different subnet subject to different rules than the staff subnet, so even knowing a staff password doesn't get you any more access
The third movement, too?

If they are running XP without service packs, that's OK - they won't have IPv6 anyway.

Notwithstanding, fraud is still not right even in a casino.
We do a lot better with non photovoltaic generation with molten salt.

No, there's far more dumbfuckery in YouTube comments.
Bipolar transistors look like that, field effect transistors...well, not so much.
