I think lots of people probably noticed it; I attributed it to the person at the FBI not making the distinction between the computer at the library pushing the data to the EC2 computers (which is how I would describe what happened) and the EC2 computers 'accessing' the computers at the libraries.
The summary matches the Wired article, which is at least written in a tone that suggests that they actually talked to Swartz.
How do you feel about the interface on the watch itself? I messed with one a little bit, and I did not get to the point where I was comfortable with it.
So push the aspect ratio button on the remote for whatever box is pushing the video into your TV. That's what I do, I get to choose from 4 different options, 'Channel Select', '4:3', 'Letterbox' and 'Squeeze'. Channel select does the obvious thing, 4:3 crops, letterbox shows the top and bottom bars, and squeeze takes a 16:9 signal and pushes it down to 4:3 (it is useful if the channel is accidentally pushing video in the wrong ratio).
There won't be an oil shortage any time soon, but if there is a shortage, the problem will be more severe than you think, tractors are currently machines that turn diesel into food, with no oil, getting food to market won't be the problem, growing it at all will be the problem.
I didn't realize that citizens of Singapore tend to be arrogant sociopaths, the way that law breaking corporate executives tend do.
Mostly, harsh punishments are no longer a strong disincentive to bad behavior, there are so many people that someone somewhere will decide to misbehave regardless of what happens to Joe in Illinois. I suppose if you do it plenty and make it a spectacle there would be some effect, but then you live in a shitty society anyway.
It would be pretty easy to regulate them better; if poorly behaved corporations were dissolved, with the shareholders being zeroed out, shareholders in other corporations would quickly insist on better behavior.
The frequency with which potential treatments are announced has increased, and the number of existing, effective treatments has increased (both of these pretty much work since whenever).
So you see more noise about things that might work, and those things face a higher bar when actually tested out, thus there are more failures.
If you step back and look at survival rates for various cancers, they have gone up significantly, even in just the last 10 years (some of this may simply be due to increased awareness of carcinogens, but some of it is likely to be due to better treatments).
Their consumer printers are do-it-our-way hellholes. I have a fun story about HP patching some Windows service that a printer driver used so that not even an Administrator account was able to edit the service (the 'correct' workaround is to use `at` to launch a cmd shell with System privileges and edit the DACL there, the easy way is to blow away the DACL entry in the registry).
The laser printers with PCL and PS support are great (XP had a driver for the Laserjet 4L I have on loan, network sharing and all, I just needed to disable bidirectional support to get it to work with the cheap USB->Parallel cable that I have).
The vehicle better be pretty damn cheap if I am only saving $40 a month on energy (especially if those savings cost me an hour or 2 of time; I'm injecting the likelihood of overnight charging making it so only an hour or two of charging is actually inconvenient here). That's only $500 a year, which doesn't add up real fast.
(If you back up a little and look at the price of a fillup adjusted for inflation, we are only 25-40% above 'typical' historical prices, which run about $2.00 in 2009 dollars, sometimes more, rarely much less than $1.75)
My biggest 'complaint' (it isn't quite such) is that, for quite some time, buying an electric isn't very likely to be cheaper than simply buying a used V6, even after paying for all the fuel I would use. Many lunatics who view their cars as a necessary expense (rather than a status symbol) share this thinking, and will be slow to transition.
Steam turbines aren't that much more efficient than an ICE, especially after you shove that energy through a transformer, across a wire, back through a transformer, into a battery and back out again.
He doesn't care if they are on the up and up, he cares that they (from his point of view) arbitrarily removed functionality, that, for all he could tell, was working just fine. They don't have to be dishonest to make stupid decisions that make them worth avoiding as a supplier.

Part of the problem is that you are comparing recertified boxes without print servers to new product with print servers.
Thanks.
Did you know it was only 1 GB before you paid the shipping?
The Sansa Clip 4GB was discontinued, so stores are discounting it; Amazon sent one to me for $43 (that's with the free shipping).

For some definition of 'known'. "Most people" don't even know what a Kindle is.
The engineers tried a couple of times and stopped. Give them a few decades or centuries and I think they might exceed your expectations.
Ruby was first released in 1995, the web wasn't real old just then.

Maybe you paid less than $20 for your box.

Flash isn't a CPU hog itself, it just makes it easy to write really dumb event loops that eat a core.

Except for the 300 million of us who do not think that would be easy.
Shame and embarrassment are meaningless punishments for arrogant sociopaths.

A simple little crystal radio can power itself using the signal...
Is this some fun game where if it had not been explained you would complain about that?
You better hope it is a sturdy tent.

If it takes an hour to charge, it better cost far, far less than gasoline.
