Factories in China are known for making clones in the same factory after hours. If you can count the numbers of a critical chip exported, you can delay the introduction of clones to market. Yes, I know you can not prevent copies eventiually
if they are on windows 7 and can reproduce the problem, see if you can get them to use Problem Steps Recorder
Just have them click on the start button and type PSR. You will get a macro recorder like window up to start recording. it tracks what they do, takes screen shots, lets them add comments, and builds a ziped file for mailing when they are done. Takes some training but can be alot less work for the user and very helpfull for you.
I bought an SD card and a card reader to keep Anti-malware tools on. The idea was to use the write protect switch to keep malware from infecting/modifying the contents of the card when inserted into an infected PC.
The first card reader just ignored the switch! I had to buy a second one of a different model/company to be protected.
A Tsunami can be caused by any sudden change in the sea floor level. (other causes are also possible) The ocean rushes in to level things out (fill in the hole) and the momentum of that rushing movement causes the surge.
Fill a bucket with water in a swimming pool starting with the top of the bucket level with the water. Try to yank it out quickly it without a wave propagating and you will see the problem. There were probably tsunamis at the same time as the quakes that lowered the water levels. The waves themselves did not cause the prolonged flooding.
Almost all the large corps are sitting on billions in cash or in government bonds. They have no reason to invest it and subject that money to any risks.
If the value of the money started to go away at 7% per year they would invest it.
It would also help get some of the people who have underwater mortgages out of trouble.
Dropping interest rates like we did was very very bad in the long term.
It used to be IBM would reset these for you if you could prove you owned the machine. I think you had to send them into to IBM or have an onsite visit, but it was possible.
I would guess that they have policies in place to go for home if they are near the border and the GPS signal starts acting flaky. May not have realized it was jammed till they got home.
I guess it is possible that some of the flight software on the plane could have choked if the GPS was down for too long. I have seen that in software being tested. but if so it is a bug they will have fixed by now. That or some safety policy for night landings would be the only reason I could that would directly lead to an emergency landing
From what I have read, NK seems to be in a state where you get status/promotion by doing slightly provocative things so you become visible to your superiors. The resulting behavior is somewhat like what you see elementary school boys but much more serious. (I do not mean to imply that they are intellectually children, but the competition is so tight)
It is said to be true only when there are power struggles in progress. If you cross the line too far, you wind up dead.
A spinning space ship to make artificial gravity for humans is a tricky and very expensive task. It would probably need to be much larger than the one in the movie 2001. There are issues of motion sickness etc that would need to be worked out
However, General Relativity states that a spinning system can be the same as gravity. It is the constant change in direction that does the trick. The same as centrifuges here on Earth work.
I remember a Popular Electronics magazine article on how to modify one model of four function calculator to enable it to have the memory function. The internals were basically the same. The cost difference at the time was such that you could take the calculator apart, buy the switches, do a little grinding, drilling, and soldering. And save some money,
If you are too young to understand the above, let me know and I will go off topic to explain. I know mostlydigital will understand.
I do support work for home computers. I sometimes have to search for things but I can't just change home pages and such so I get stuck with bing. Bing is usable but Google is noticeably better. Also the more clueless the user is, the more likely they are to have Bing everywhere. I have to manually go to Google in many cases.
The worst machines to search on are the ones where they install the ISP software to "allow them to connect to the internet" lots of ads. Why advertise on the top of every search?
The article seems to think that anything more than about the size of an ipad has to be inches thick. The computer I am using at the moment is about 3 inches thick and that includes the CPU/disk/memory. It is a 23 inch HP touchsmart. It has two finger multi-touch and some Microsoft surface apps running on it.
What am I missing? I can not think of a reason you would need more than at most 4 contact points unless you wanted to finger paint. I rarely use more than one finger at a time and in most cases just use the mouse.
Much larger than about the 23 inch screen I have would be overkill if you were within arms length of one unless you were doing a presentation or some sort of group project
On TV they would not wear any safety equipment that meant anything. Goggles perhaps, but mostly not and no respirators. Space helmets light up the actors faces so they can been seen on camera but the actors can't see anything because of all the lights shining in their faces
Here in Arizona they are adding them in residential neighborhoods as a replacement for speed bumps because they know that people will slow down for them. But they also make them very very small and don't mark them correctly. If you can put a traffic circle in a standard suburban residential area without having to take out a house (just some lawn space) you are not doing it right.
They like to build roundabouts here that are small enough that you could not put a picnic table in the center.
The one closest to me is in on a short cut road that is marked down to 15 MPH but most people do about 40 on it. The circle is about the size of a convenience store parking lot. Most traffic goes either straight through to the north of straight south. Too small to use turn signals and changing them in a roundabout is against some rule here anyway.
Why do you have to say it was unpaid on the resume? Oh course that will be on the job application. But resume should say ACME systems, completed project paper schuffle. Used.....
BTW: I think past salery information should not be allowed to be asked by prospective employers at all.
No, Robert Morris, Jr did not invent the computer worm. He build the first "successful" worm.
If you look at old videos of the TV reports at the time security folks identified it as a worm by name right away. The term was discussed briefly in an OS class in college a few years earlier.

If you have a vision issue (or just a crappy monitor) it becomes about 10 times harder to read. What advantage does it provide beyond eye candy?

Good luck
You have never worked a stock job at a large grocery store have you?
its three days only if there is a huge panic. They even keep more than 3 days worth of eggs and milk in stock.. Some stuff they months worth.

It would have been AOL and CompuServe

See this link. http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/tsunami/sumatra05/subsidence.html Also similar effects happened in Japan in March.
We also need some inflation. Yes we do.

I was at a dial up client a few weeks ago in a major metro area. (she was moving soon and did not want to sign a contract)
The service was horrible. she was getting connection speeds below 28.8 most of the time. frequently as slow as 4800.
Also websites are really designed much more for high speed now.

Probably more important than an optical drive

If you want this to last this long and not have somebody salvage it for the metal, you must make it temporary, Example: The Eiffel tower.
