Space-X and several of its competitors have put several satellites in orbit. I gather they probably do have the technology to put people in orbit but are taking it slowly and testing their systems out with unmanned launches. It is rather interesting that NASA doesn't do any unmanned launches that I know if, I wonder if they would be better off if they did unmanned as well?
Which is why competing private space endeavors are doing so well right now. Space-X etc aren't nearly as risk adverse and if they suffered a crash would wouldn't have a national day of mourning for them.
True, but in general those ports are low numbers ports and ar not routed by default. Any router routing 137, 138 or 445 to local systems off the DMZ should be shot.
One interesting factor that many ignore is that big hosting companies like HostGator, host so many sites that their peak loads are based upon general internet peak loads. Unless you have a HUGE audience most likely your specific site getting hit frequently possibly means another popular site is getting hit less often. Lets say that on average at 8pm/EST (a typical peak time) 2% (a random guess on my part) of people surfing the internet in the US are viewing a HostGator site. That metric is not going to change from day to day much at all, even if one specific site is getting slash-dotted.
Google is releasing the specs so that others can create their own servers. I can not name a single product that Google has really pushed (many many they have released they haven't pushed) that hasn't changed the way we work. Google Search, Google Maps. Things they copies from others but have done well in, Google email, Google calendar, Google docs. I can't think of a single product of theirs that they promoted that has bombed (yes plenty of lab products they haven't promoted have bombed).
Essentially most of the initial high return rate was due to unclear advertising leading people to believe they were buying a window machine and getting linux. Dell has cleared up the advertising to make sure people know what they are buying and the high return rate has stopped.
I think a big company with a reputation would be less likely to screw up the backups as well as less likely to try to break into your system. You can pay rackspace to administer a computer you house onsite. I don't think they have to time or care to fck you, but they have a lot of experience in doing proper administration. I'd still encrypt the data of course if it needs to be secure. In general though hosting at rackspace datacenter or locally would be about equal ignoring the bandwidth/space issues.
7) Feds are monitoring connections to the bot net and attempts to master connect to it will be traced. Also even if the Feds didn't create it, I'm sure we they have figured it out to the point that it certainly can be controlled by our government.
Not "intelligence" but evolution. One could argue that some bacteria are better evolved than we are. Not nearly as frail and will survive long past our extension. Evolution doesn't concern itself with concepts of "intelligence", intelligence is simply a means of survival like claws.
I think one of the most interesting systems is the internet. It frequently rejects attempts to install artificial organs like IPv6 or even XHTML2, while others it accepts with little problem. It would make an interesting thesis.
I think for the most part Apple was right. 99% of the application that might want to be run in the background don't really need it. The Push service works just fine for IM or other applications that need to check for updates periodically. There are a handful of applications like Latitude that really need background access. Apple needs to do something about this while still discouraging most of the apps who don't need it from using background due to lazyness.
I didn't say they couldn't or shouldn't charge real dollars, the online feature of office won't be nearly as popular if you have to buy an additional tool rather than just what comes with office. Even if the incorporated some DRM to make sure it was a legitimate copy. But if it just worked out of the box without requiring an additional service it would be used by more people and make office itself more popular than it already is.
Because if it just "worked" it would catch wildfire and be extremely popular and would sell tons of copies. Many corporations will use these features but it won't catch fire because average joe won't pay for it and you need to stay compatible with joe.
Agreed, its also like asking a soldier "Do you agree that you have to follow all orders from your commanding officer." The expected answer is yes, and you should say yes, but you still are legally required to disobey orders that are illegal, just as you should ignore orders from a Judge that are obviously illegal. Same thing.

What happens if I apply excessive voltage to a supercapacitor?
Supercapacitors are inherently safe. They do not contain any chemicals (such as Li) that may explode.

If it relies on a SMB2 request it is most likely restricted form request inside the LAN.
Either way, still bad.

This is common at Bus Depots, but I think we are talking about a normal street stop.
Then the driver would simply stop at an earlier point rather than a later point forcing everyone to walk backwards.

So wouldn't it make sense to simply require "all unmanned aircraft must fly at X altitude (10k feet?) unless within X distance of a landing strip."
How did this post get marked troll. In fact any trolls as comments to this article should be marked as insightful, or at least ontopic.
The fee is 10% with a minimum of 0.50 on each individual players wager.
With a rake of 10% you'd have to win about 70% of all games to make a profit.
I know I know.. You should be able to get this stuff at a hardware store as well. Either way Radio Shack is dying a slow death..

"Where will we go to buy soldering irons and those RCA to headphone jack adapters now?"
You buy them at monoprice.com duh.
(They don't have a soldering iron, but they do have a 23pcs PC toolkit that includes a crappy one.

Sounds almost like cross platform is really the goal here. C++ is cross platform but the pitfalls in moving from platform to platform are much larger.

Wow, that's one of the greatest book titles I've seen in a long time. Hilarious. Tempted to buy it on just that..
