the hackers never actually misused their control over them in any way
No... they were just trying out a proof-of-concept. Now they know how to take over the satelites though- the Chinese will have us in their grasp if we ever go to war...... think about it- next time we consider going to war with China- they will take over our satellites and force us to watch Chinese Opera on our TV sets.... our surrender will be so quick the French will call US surrender monkeys.
Some of those people that look "just fine" that have handcapped plates might be fine- they might have borrowed the car or been a caretaker.
Be carefull to label them all though.
The deaf probably look "just fine"- but are at greater risk of being struck and killed in a parking lot due to being deaf- and thus, I believe are allowed to park there.
You never know what condition someone might have- so be carefull of judging people you don't know the condition of.
I'm going to change my name to Oswald McHalloWeany for the day.
- On a more serious note- November 5th (Guy Fawkes night) is only a few days later and is more fun for the pyromanaic.
Build big fires- set off fireworks- build models of Guy Fawkes and the pope and throw them onto the fire...... Good time for all. Just make sure it really is a Guy Fawkes model you're throwing on the fire- not a member of Anonymous wearing a Vendetta mask... we need those anonymous folks to help overthrow wall street.
Just a technocality: I think most states there have to be a two year age gap between the kids... so it would be an 18 y/o with a 16 y/o...... don't disagree with what else you say though.
Depends who interviews you really. If you're interviewed by someone who was a developer once- sure.
However, it's just as common to have someone with a non-programming background being the person involved in running IT departments. (especially in manufacturing- if you're working at a mid-sized company in manufacturing- almost all the IT managers came from sales or accounting and know very little about computers).
Quite frankly- IT is not a career to take if you ever want a promotion. Sure, it can happen- but you'll lose out to other departments time and time again.
Knowing, for example Java or.NET programming languages won't decline in value that fast. Perhaps specialising in certain specific products will- and certainly the development environment will.
On a non-programming side- knowing the basics of computer hardware doesn't decline in value that fast. Perhaps specialising in certain models does.
First they would have to prove that people are confused by the name and mix it up with a product produced by Star Fleet.
I don't think anyone will make the honest mistake of thinking this product was produced by a 25th century institution.
However, I'm sure if Apple were to buy Paramount they would sue anyway. Especially if this device has rounded corners, an on/off switch, or limited buttons.
... and I'm sure you're right. One consumer doesn't matter to them.
If I'm just a lone "weirdo" then it is no problem to them- if there are a bunch of people like me who react to Apple's continuing barrage of legal nonsense then they would care- and perhaps be a bit more sensible.
I suspect most people who dislike what apple are doing would dislike apple anyway just because they are apple.
I'm not traditionally an apple-basher. I was an apple neutral- I've become increasingly annoyed by their legal shenanigans. I don't know how many "neutrals" like me are being turned away from them.
Perhaps- but there are so many tiny rediculous patents like this one- that it is almost impossible to release a product which doesn't fall afoul of somebodies patents.
Apple (and others) flood the patent office with redicuouls patents like this one so that they can sue someone when one of their silly patents accidentally get breached.
Samsung didn't mean to breach a patent by having rounded corners.
Apple knew exactly what they were doing then as now- it's a means to be able to delay other peoples production and win money through lawsuits. It has nothing to do with protecting innovation. They (and everyone else) knows they won't lose market share if other people use this device.
I'm sure I'll get modded down for criticising apple on slashdot- but - quite frankly- I'm the type of consumer Apple should be courting.
I don't have a tablet- I'm considering a tablet. I am open minded to my options- I have no preference or alliegence at this point.
I know everyone in the industry sues and takes rediculous patents- but Apple just goes over-the-top. They're involved in more law-suits than just about all the others combined.
Statements from Jobs (RIP) about wanting to destroy Android even if it cost Apple all their wealth- shows the mentality within that company to stifle innovation of others.
Apple goes beyond trying to get the best for their stockholders- the corporate policy seems damn-well belligerent.
This is the tipping point for me- I'm no longer brand-neutral in the tablet sphere.
From now on, I know, when I do get a tablet it won't be Apple. I cannot spend money on a product with a company who will misappropriate it.
AHA! I have found the plot for my great sci fi novel.
Alien robots land on mountain tops all around the world... they start marching down- destroying all life as we know it- they appear indestructible- mankind is doomed...
Until mankind discovers their fatal flaw... they can only walk downhill.

Why should he have to use a license plate?
Have you seen the License plates in California? They have rounded corners and limited buttons.
Wasn't just the Mayans predicting the end of the world in 2012.
Jimmy Buffet also predicted the world would end with a volcano.
I don't know!
Not only that but wasn't the name of their nation translated "the one world".
So the world would end if they did.
WHAT?!?!?! They're getting rid of fakes?
Won't somebody please thing of the kids? How can I afford to buy my kids their toys?
Sorry son, no "Rego Hally Potter" for you this christmas.

If you ever make it to CIO then- I'll swap jobs with you.
Happened in England.
NOTW published the addresses up and down the country. Got at least one wrong and at least one innocent person got beat up.
Murdoch, such a classy guy.
Hmmmm... I wonder how many people will use this app to find a date.

There are too few IT managers that know IT.
Depends really on how specific your skills are.

Good point.

Hmmmm... Most start ups fail and end up collapsing completely within a few years!
Just thought it worth pointing out! ;)

Funny... my first thought was that this would have no interest for "the industry" therefore the technology was doomed.

Yes, and look how the picture gets particulary congested around Apple.
They're all pretty bad about this- but Apple does seem to stand out as the worst of a bad crowd.

I don't think that anyone will be forced.
I don't think they currently force ANYONE to have any vaccine. Parents can get their kids out of it if they chose.

Even better- how do we know HPV even exists is there are no tests to detect it.
I think I have a business plan.
1) Warn the public about a new undetectable disease: Human Unicorniagitis.
2) Wait 6 months.
3) Offer a vaccine.
I'll be rich in no time.
