Criminals attacked the World Trade Center, simple as that.
If I go to a local bookstore and shoplift a magazine, the news reports don't say "Christian steals from local bookseller". One might argue that a disproportionate amount of terrorist activity has been carried out by adherents of Islam, but then again a disproportionate amount of magazine shoplifting heists have been masterminded by white Christian teenagers.
My workplace has this atmosphere, and in fact is featured in Daniel Pink's book (the source in TFA from PBS) -- read Chapter 6 in Drive. Meddius is a company where you come in on your own schedule or even not at all, all meetings are optional, and really your results are all that matters. My colleagues are responsible adults and are treated as such. The freedom is a considerable benefit for me and my family, on top of decent compensation. Best Buy initiated this Results Only Work Environment (ROWE) idea, but ROWE seems to be spreading. Lots of entrepreneurs were swapping stories about ROWE at this year's SXSW, and if your workplace is considering the concept, it's something to get behind. it seems like we're always entertaining resumes if you're interested at meddius dot com.
Are you near coleen or Arrington? The broadband study thing in the county continues forever, meanwhile a few of us have been experimenting with non line of sight wireless gear and microwave. I have a somewhat stable link about 7 miles from the access point. Email dhuggins at diversifiedexperts dot com if you want to give it a try. Correct the above email address obviously.
Indeed, I was thinking of the very same thing. I remember hearing that story on NPR and I wanted to try something similar in my own town. Of course, I never found the time and here I am still grumbling about my crappy connection.
When will providers realize that a lot of us would appreciate more bandwidth in our own town even if the connection out to the internet remains at the same speed. I find it sort of insulting that in the eyes of the cable and phone companies, I should only be mindlessly viewing other people's content (huge download speeds) instead of being a full fledged participant (The current lack of meaningful upload).
Not quite, the most common tags today are the sensormatic acoustomagnetic type, found at a wide range of retailers from WalMart to Home Depot to many cd/movie stores. This type has a number of advantages, over the older RF based tags. In fact, many consumer items can be found with an Acoustomagnetic tag inside the item. Recently, I disassembled an answering machine I had purchased from KMart and inside the case was a (presumably deactivated) tag. Because 58khz acoustic echos are not much affected by the container, (after all these are just sound waves) tags can be embedded rather than on the surface of the item (as with radio frequency tags) where a shoplifter can easily peal them off. Don't expect the RF tags to actually be embedded in too many items, metallic items and objects containing water will either absorb the RF energy or detune the tag, itself a simple LC (inductor-capacitor) network tuned to 8.2 mhz (most common - or 9.5 mhz). The above posts are indeed correct, the common RF tags are deactivated by a high intensity RF signal, but usually of a different (usually lower)frequency that the tag also has resonance at. The fusable link is commonly a crimp across the capacitor which upon deactivation shorts the capacitor out, thus detuning it, rather than burning itself out. The saturation type strips the parent refers to are actually prone to false alarms from certain metal objects with a low (and abrupt) saturation point. These systems are commonly found in libraries, rather than retail stores. Several other types are in use.
Read here and here.
If a $200K payment can truely be made anonymously, with speculation being that large companies are the source of the prize, one has to wonder what other payoffs are taking place without outside scrutiny. Campaign finance limits and other regulations designed to limit corruption are a complete joke if these types of transfers can slip below the radar. If it does turn out that a corporation is behind the bounty, it would not surprise me to find out that other "prizes" have slipped into the pockets of our politicians. - Just a thought.
Python has an advantage in that it changes the way you think about programming in a language, suddenly whitespace is important. Its the little things, that make you rethink what you already know about languages. I'd like to start over and learn Python as my first language. This one was designed, not evolved from the past.
Sure, but notice I mentioned Network, as in software that sits on the wire and scans for suspicious activity. I use such software on my network. I regularly see many attempts on my systems security. What I was trying to say was that people should be no more concerned about privacy in this respect than they would be about a conventional network intrusion scanner.
Why do we consider this any different than other network intrusion-detection systems. Privacy concerns should be minimal, only keeping the "bad guys" out
Hmm, does this remind anyone of anything else.
Recall the technique using cold to slow the speed
of light down to speeds slower than my car. We should see some advances in optical switching and networks out of this. Interesting science
I worked in a public library last summer, and one of our biggest problems was not about content, but rather seating, and number of workstations available. Prohibiting time-consuming activities like chat and e-mail or restricting them to off peak times allows others to use the facility.

Is this a compile time option, or how do you tell these drivers to ignore regulatory constraints?
Hey Colfer, check my reply to your comment on BPL yesterday. I'm also in Nelson.
Hey Colfer,

Sounds like the results of porn to me.

An intelligent solution, i'm glad to hear it

Could we have a mechanism to dynamically translate any language code, into perl. Forget Java, this is true write once, run anywhere.
