# To make SSL the underlying transport protocol, for better security and compatibility with existing network infrastructure. Although SSL does introduce a latency penalty, we believe that the long-term future of the web depends on a secure network connection. In addition, the use of SSL is necessary to ensure that communication across existing proxies is not broken.
The problem for that is now everything is encypted. If it has multiple channels, let one be plaintext of insecure items,a nd one cyphered for encrypted ones
# To enable the server to initiate communications with the client and push data to the client whenever possible.
Horrible idea because now popup and ad blockers don't work. Sure they might not show it, but the server has already sent it to you and eaten up your bandwidth. What are your options? Send a block-list during negotiation? Not likely, and still might not be honored. We need to keep the client in control. What should be done is the server send the component list, and then the client can return the accepted list back to the server to have it put into the download stream. While this is the correct operation, the problem with this is it increases latency.
That is indeed an option, but I decline to do it myself because of my time. Every time they want to install something, you have to install it on both machines. While even better from a reliability/stability stand point, I see it as being a burden in the long run.
And with my way, they get to try the app before they elect to have it installed on the other one. If they don't elect to keep it, then there is extra mess (lets face it, some installers don't uninstall _everything_) and reliability will be higher.
You'll piss them off when you delete an important file.
I've been working on this idea for a couple years now, and here's my thinking. We really need them to use a hyper visor so they can select from multiple images. When one goes bad, they switch to another one, You login to the bad one and fix it. There should be a NAS that you/they can dump their files to as well, and the alternate image (or user) knows about this NAS as well. Then it is only a matter of syncing cookies and browser histories for a seamless expereince. I would definately leave applications out of the sync because they will be a causer of problems. They can always re-install on the new image.
The idea of having an alternate images provides a much needed continuation point. They can continue to use the computer with minimal interruption while you fix on your own time.
I have yet to see it, but something like the VM bare metal hypervisor running in the background would be ideal. It runs a linux kernel and makes the images available on the network. What they need to change is it needs to run in the background and start a local session into one or more virtual machines as well, so this can be served all by one computer. The only indication is it gives you an option of which image to run. Ideally you could to this with three images: One for the NAS, one for the main GUI, and one for the backup.
For what we have now in today's tech a a linux box with a SAMBA share, and some Windows images and the Linux Client. Let it serve the images back to itself, while providing a storage location that is on the Linux side of things so it won't be wiped. You can even set their My Documents folder to it in Windows.
The only point of contentions are slowness and network connectivity. The Linux box needs the network. If you have dial-up, this could be a problem. But for any family with a router it will work fine.
Well, considering they are only banning "modded" xboxen, it seems that the buyer should be looking for an "unmodified" xbox. And I do believe that modded xboxen are not a valid item to sell on ebay. So unless the buyer is comitting fraud, and risks losing his ebay account, you should be reasonably safe.
I know someone in the industry and they had this to say when I was talking to them off the record.
There is plenty of oil
There is plenty of oil in the US
The problem is the oil in the middle east is so damn cheap. It is cheaper to pump it there and transport it here, thanks to labor and environmental regulations
What you'll see eventuality, is domestic oil pumping, but only until after all the cheap crude is pumped out of the middle east. Once the price of Eastern crude gets to the point where domestic production can fetch a price to pay for its lifting, it you'll see the country come alive with pumping. This will serve to keep oil costs from sky rocketing, though they may sky rocket in today's terms.
Why not use CVS instead of subversion? then you could have your CVS Voting System? And all the bearded admins would be happy. You want your admins to be happy.
I see your point, and agree, but I think we could see a more sliding scale of pricing.
Say $20 for opening weekend. (That's two tickets, and at no cost aside form a minimal distribution cost) How many people can pack into all the nation's theater's at once, rather than stay at home? In fact people will pool together and 4-5 people may watch it to divide the cost up. I think the volume would more than make up on that occasional group of 3-4-5 people.
Say $15 for opening week.
Say $10 for everything past a month.
Even though there is something for seeing it on the big screen.I would see many more movies if I didn't have to go to the theater.
Should be to develop and test asteroid detection and avoidance systems.
That freeze dried ice cream is useless when we all get vaporized on impact.
The sad thing is these systems are under funded and we have no credible defense against an asteroid. But we're looking to go to Mars! Yay!
Think of the children. America is so rich they bombed the moon. Tell a kid in Africa we bombed it to find water, when he has the same problem right here on earth.
Once we find out if asteroid detection, deflection or destruction is trivial and reliable, then we can go on to mentally masturbating about colonizing other bodies.
Of course, we could do both in parallel, as complementary solutions to the same problem but my point is NASA is all over the board.
I once had to sit next to a fat, nicotine-smelling mouth breather. He was so fat, his breaking actually made noise. I was no more impressed when I saw him im the lobby after the movie. His sweatshirt said "My Dick Tastes Like Chapstick"
Couple that with talkers, out-of-focus, low-frame rate, cold theaters, you don't have the best venue for people to go see, Yeah, ita a big screen, but we have HD TVs with surround sound, and people you can beat or fart on if they get out of line. Not to mention you can actually pause the damn thing.
If the Movie industry just gave up on theaters and went straight to PPV, thereby increasing access, they'd find they have a much bigger audience. But for some insane reason they insist on making us trot out to these smelly, dark, hell holes.
And all that brouhaha surrounding it? We were supposed to sit back and have all that junk crammed down our throats, but we'd want it all, because the database would have our marketing preferences.
What about Linux? (On the desktop) (Sorry, I couldn't resist!)
Uh, I have latitude on my iPhone, part of the google apps bundle. What I can't do is run it in the background. *grumble*grumble*
I think its safe to say that unless Apple changes its ways they'll see mass exodus when contracts run out. I knew t was going to happen, but not this quickly.
Correct me if I am wrong, but this needs no hardware integration and I don't need to sped any money on an App. The decision by Apple to restrict real navigation to TomTom is laughable, and not one I appreciate. If they don't think about the consumer first, then they will find themselves falling behind.
Pardon me, but part of the appeal of the iPhone is it was best-of-breed Apple and Google. With the recent split, and if this continues, I see my next phone will be an Android device, and on the superior Verizon network.
I've been an iPhone fan boy for about 3 years, but I see a lot of delicious crow coming my way.
Google has some of the weakest around. And whats more is becaue Google uses domain keys it is a desired domain because that stuff gets through the spam filters better.
I wish Google had an automated honey pot system where you could drop a google address, and any google account would instantly get shut off for sending mail to it. The idea is you plant the email address in a place where automated spambots will harvest it and poof! no more spammer.
Of course it could be used for abuse and if passed off as a legit account, so there needs to be some registration and tying of spam honey pot accounts to their owners for accountability.
I had one catastrophic bulb failure - the glass actually burned up or something. Big brown stain on it and it ceased to function suddenly.
Aside from that every bulb I've had coming up on 3 years now is still in commission or was decommissioned for a higher intensity bulb. I am now up to using 120w equiv (30w) bulbs. in some places. 100w equiv in others, and 60w (13w) for outside nighttime lighting. Even exposed to the elements (in a housing) these bulbs still last a long time.
I was really surprised recently to pick up 2 100w for $4.56 combined. I really like the "nvision" brand - they seem to fit better and last fine.
Exactly, by moving the date 8 years out, when it does come on 2012, we won't be expecting t and the mass hysteria will only last a few minutes at most. Meanwhile the team will be on vacation, spelunking for Christmas...
You (not you, but the industry) have not accounted for biases in the sample data. Until that is done you don't know the real effectiveness. Sure 99% of the people vaccinated will register antibodies, but the bigger question is, would they have 1) contracted the flu in the first place (majority bias is no) and 2) suffered worse symptoms without it (and this seems to be a wash).
We also have not accounted for the "healthy individual bias" along with other socio-economic factors.
My policy is: Unless you are in the high-risk group at risk of a fatal case, then don't get it until everyone in that high-risk group has gotten it. But as you point out, it will probably have passed by that time.
Isn't this the first year? So by definition, any activity is unprecedented.
I've been following the public health debate over this, and having known people with the swine flu, I have to say it is mostly hype. Mostly.
The true efficacy of the vaccine is not known, because they will not do placebo-controlled trials. They cite "ethics" for this, however they can do placebo-controlled HIV vaccination tests. In the grand scheme of things, I think the ethics justify placebo-controlled Flu trials far more than HIV placebo-controlled trials. Now the HIV trials were done in Thailand, but still, a life is a life, and ethics shouldn't be regional.
So the only thing I can conclude is that the drug companies are hiding behind the "ethics" because they know vaccines are ineffective. Until we know exactly how [in]effective they are, they hide behind the line "any measure of protection is better than no protection".
We must demand that our flu vaccines are placebo controlled.
Also, I think the actual vaccine is safe. However I am beginning to research the theory that multiple viral infections have a layering effect. That would explain why some regions have greatly different HIV infection rates - that if a particular virus was local to a population then that virus can make the host more susceptible to infection. (Small midwest towns will have vastly different HIV infection rates, as does the epidemic in Africa) Also, viruses are known to cause cancer - HPV has overtaken tobacco as the leading cause of throat cancer (from oral sex). So these immunizations have the potential to alter your susceptibility for other viruses and cancers unless you get the kind that uses completely dead organisms. Remember all viruses insert themselves into your DNA. Much like a code injection attack, there may be repercussions in that inserted code that may make you susceptible to other attacks. However the science on this is still in a nascent stage.

Now that we all have video on our phones (and your iPhone) record those statements, save the video and play them back when they give you sh!t.

My "hypervisor" solution is:

Alternate:

You can load up the PCs to RSYNC documents/cookies to/from the NAS on startup so disruption is minimal.
