They bought things. They bought securities and assets with money that they made out of thin air. When they sell those things, they nuke the money that they'd previously made and pocket a profit. The bulk of this profit goes to the U.S. Treasury.
If they can't sell the assets that they purchased? Well, then they just increased the money supply.
Still, I can't tell if you're arguing for or against something here...
The Fed has published regular reports about its actions (I have the 1929 and 1930 annual reports, and they're real laffers), and the Federal Reserve Act has been amended a *number* of times.
Congress is going after the Fed because Congress boned us, hard in 1999. Funny how our legislators find everyone but themselves at fault, eh?
It can't be hacking if no hacking was necessary. Using a computer interface on a network, as intended, to do something that someone only slightly didn't want, but allowed, doesn't really feel like a computer crime to me.
People wait an awful long time for this, sure, but they often start making plans as soon as they find out that they won. They want to come here, badly. Badly enough to take new pictures and jump through the sumbissions process each year. Within a few days, people are making arrangements, buying plane tickets, giving things away...
Don't discount how much this sucked for those who had their yes turned into a no.
Granted, I talked with someone who was worried that now her brother was going to come to the states. With the results invalidated, she's probably privately thrilled.
Anyway, I'd wager that this was in cameras before phones, and I'd also heard that some mobile phones were earlier to the accelerometer gig.
The *stated* applications for MEMS accelerometers in the parts books included orientation determination. I have a hard time with "on a mobile device" becoming the new "with a computer."
Look up adverse possession for an example of property changing hands due to disinterest (effectively).
If the cops don't need a warrant to snoop through my garbage and take evidence (Cal. v. Greenwood), then why should a regular scavengers be unable to do the same?
Now, whether the rock was in the garbage or not is probably the most material part of this case. Unfortunately, everyone involved in the case has a strong motivation to lie. It doesn't appear that the Museum staff, police, or NASA cared all that much about this when they thought it was valueless. Frankly, this search for former glory feels more harmful than helpful. Can we just get back to going to space?
They didn't care about it for *years*. Moon rocks were baubles to be given out to foreign dignitaries, political groups in the US, and governors of states.
Only once we feel so distant from our glorious past do we go chasing after our precious rocks. How about we put some resources into going back to the moon. There are *plenty* of moon rocks up there.
You must have been away from other manufacturers for a while. Sony, Lenovo, etc. bricks are gettin' real small.
Now, if Apple would avoid having MBP 85W bricks kill Unibody MBs, that would be much appreciated. Fixed in the 13" MBP, but rough for people who say "oh yeah, that connector is the same, so this should work," which, for those wondering, is just about everyone.
Personally, I want Apple to make a brick that has a natural place for holding *all* of its cables. I'd also be happy with a larger brick that auto-retracts, from, well, anyone.
Take the new MBA-friendly connector and pull it in the direction of the cable connection. You can drag a mac around on some tables. The old connector was harder to do this with, but you could always have caught it under the notebook. I've watched a pre-unibody come out with a huge dent for this very reason.
Forget friggin' magnets, anyway. Inductive-resonance for the power-standard win. I just want to set the power brick within five feet of my laptop and have it charge inductively.
Also, my wife hates magsafe, as she'd much rather risk destroying a notebook through a fall than risk having inadvertently pulled the power, slowly killing the battery just before taking the machine on the road. And, yes, we both have/use macs. Personally, I quite like magsafe.
Except when it's implicitly part of any prison sentence, generally accepted by the public, and completely disregarded by the courts and prison systems. Then it's *halrious!*
I, for one, love that we pack our prisons with non-violent offenders, sprinkle in some 25-to-lifers, lock the cage doors, and let animal dominance rule the day. What could possibly go wrong?
No. Disclosing tactical information that is publicly available (where people are standing in public) should *not* be a crime.
You do that, you put speed trap disclosures, video recording of cops, and the news all at risk. It doesn't matter that the guy was a phenomenal douchebag (along with, most likely, many of his friends). A mod of insightful means that most of slashdot is thinking a lot like the U.S. Supreme Court these days. Don't think about how you want the law to apply to this particular situation. Think about how it should apply in general.
I dunno. Then we start charging people for saying "hey, the police are trying to bust you" or "hey, there's a speed trap up ahead."
Sharing tactical information that can be publicly seen should *not* be a crime. It quickly turns into a complete police state (if it hasn't already). Disclosing the positions of police officers with no malice aforethought does not attempted murder make.
The academic use I was aware of. I'll stick to saying that products that have been relegated to non-commercial use are pretty much busted.
That said, I'm still hopeful for some real-time global illumination. I'm doubtful that it will be Larrabee doing it, though, as the ring topology and memory transfer costs are just too wishful to work. Good first stab, but I'll wait for V2 (or V3).
Everyone complaining about this is missing the point.
1. Tell Apple that they should do this. 2. Hack the miserably simple security of the system. 3. Build camera killers from Arduinos (or Androids). 4. ?????? 5. Laugh, very, very hard.
If you don't understand how a secure negotiation protocol (and the protocol for the session after the fact) works, admit it and either ask someone or read several books until you recognize that you should still go ask someone. I've read more than my fair share of crypto books and papers, but, being an application developer who does only trivial personal server-side development, you can be damned sure that I'd ask for help when working on a username/password system. This goes double if it involves banking.
That any session allows them to go digging around willy nilly is so unbelievably stupid, I can't even find the words.
If a patent is going to be valid, it's going to be specific enough that workarounds or alternative solutions could exist. You don't patent having solved a problem. You patent the way you solved it.
Now, back to the real world, yeah, it's entirely possible that a rewrite of Dalvik may be pointless. We'll see.

That's not how the Fed works.
They bought things. They bought securities and assets with money that they made out of thin air. When they sell those things, they nuke the money that they'd previously made and pocket a profit. The bulk of this profit goes to the U.S. Treasury.
If they can't sell the assets that they purchased? Well, then they just increased the money supply.

The Fed made a profit of $82 billion in 2010 and transferred $79 billion the the U.S. Treasury as a result.
Slashdotters need to read more or STFU about finance.
In this case, it's more like tossing a couple of built Lego models together to see if you get a new Lego model out.
Or Capcella, Construx, Robotix, Rokenbok, Tinker Toy, Lincoln Logs, dirt, etc...
Bingo!
It can't be hacking if no hacking was necessary. Using a computer interface on a network, as intended, to do something that someone only slightly didn't want, but allowed, doesn't really feel like a computer crime to me.
"One day I will have your kind of optimism. Hey! That's today!"
You can start and finish down that road all at once.

Received, thanks!
Cool stuff, folks. chaboud (gmail) if anyone is up for one more.
Gotta love the love of the tech nerd community.

Yes. That is the gist of the story.

Dead. Project.
Larrabee proved to have a few fundamental flaws, last I checked.

The pitot-static system is used for the altimeter, but on the static side. It's static air-pressure based.
