Show people what quality software and open standards do for everyone.
That's what I'd do.
Who ensures quality? Part of the supposed value in iTunes and Androids marketplace is that the applications are submitted, reviewed, and only added if they are up to snuff. Even with something like Canonicals Ubuntu repositories there is still a bit of junk in there that is easy to install, but hard to make it work and do what it was supposed to do. Theres no easy feedback. A nag screen isn't quite right, but if I remove a package I should be able to say "this was crap" or "didnt meet my needs" and give some feedback about the app.
So having yet another open source repo where anyone can submit and make available anything won't fly. Something thats too reviewed and restricted won't work either. I think the middle ground is something with an aggressive ranking, rating, and feedback mechanism that will show off the good stuff, and let the crap sink.
I like the idea of a custom CMS to avoid an open one (more security).
Its far easier to audit existing code than it is to build your own code. Even if you write it yourself you have to do the same auditing and testing that you would against an existing product.
The old system wasn't broken why update it? Are their systems in the field digital or is it maps and tabletops and pencils?
It also seems that this would change the learning styles for the agents. Having physical tabletop models is going to engage your eyes and your senses differently than the computer will. You're going to interact with your peers differently too. If it matches whats in the field it is better/
The thing about rights is that they are NEVER given or granted by a government. Rights are inherent. A government may protect or make exercising rights easier. More commonly they restrict, prohibit, and block exercising rights.
Human rights should be confined to life, liberty, and essentials that we would all agree on.
Good luck with that. I respect your utopian idea that we can all agree on basic, inherent, and fundamental rights but it won't happen. The best thing you can do to protect rights for yourself and others is to exercise them regularly and often and always stop and think if something you're doing will be infringing on the rights of someone else.
Can't the NFL just plant chips in the players' brain that can store all the secret stuff in the playbooks? I'm sure that innovative countries like India and China can do this.
Yes if only there were some way for us to use a brain and store information in it. Some sort of memory perhaps? Theres a lot of space up there in the skull, storing all that information might take some time, but I bet it could be done. Maybe some repeated loads and checking or testing to make sure it was stored properly would be in order.
I'm 6'3" 155lbs and I've never smoked more than the occasional cigar. My doctor is always surprised to see me for an annual physical, in his clinical opinion he doesn't need to see me more often than every 3 years.
Whats in programs like this for me? Do I get rewarded for being healthy or should I take up smoking and then quit to get my prize for doing what I'm supposed to do to take care of myself?
I'm using RockMelt (Chromium) on XP. The links in the stories look like regular text. They might be a slight green color but its so close to the black text its hard to tell where the links are.
Yea because the Chinese manufacturers and Harbor Freight and eBay are going to be on the ball at keeping penobular tools out of their inventories.
Lets not forget that its a standard screw. The only reason its hard to work with is that its on a relatively fragile and expensive piece of electronics. Dremeling a slot in it might damage the device, but a small counterclockwise drillbit or screw-out tool and a steady hand will git 'er done too.
Let the rumour mill say what it wants, get DNF back in the public eye, get people talking about your company and watching it. You get gobs of free press and no pressure to make a release date.
Hah, no offense taken. Better to be pissed off than pissed on.
Apple was the example because they're the most visible. Google sometimes does unannounced releases, but they tend to be quiet about it. Is there a generic term for that tactic? "Surprise release"? "Controlled leak"?
DNF has had so many failed and delayed releases that every announcement about it is justifiably treated like a joke. If some company is actually working on it and plans on releasing it, they should keep quiet about it.
When they come out and say "You can buy this game on Steam NOW" the internet will shit its pants and drop its Cheetos and rush to buy it. An announcement about a release data is greeted with a yawn and a snarky joke if its acknowledged at all.
A lot of competent electrical/handyman types are looking for work now. Punish the bad ones so the good ones can get their foot in the door and get back on their feet.
Or more to the point, when did apt, or rpm restrict your access to some package you wanted to install.
Perhaps we should agree not to feed the trolls.
You must be younger than your UID indicates. Older versions of most of the popular package managers could wind up in a dependency deadlock that made it difficult to add or remove certain packages.

Couldn't we just have the president just tell the FBI and Fort Benning to let the Secret Service use their training areas?

With so many children born out of wedlock and divorces theres good chances that someones mothers maiden name is their current last name.

If they waited another year it would have been Huffington Post buying AOL.
Even HuffPo isn't that dumb.

Or one seaman in fuel or weapons with a lighter and a hammer.
The Klingon fans would be pissed.
...I think you want StackOverflow which is a few clicks that way ------>
...religious services banned in prisons.
They mimic gang activity, there is a "priest" or "sheik" or "prophet" that tells the other participants how to interpret and act on religious texts

Obligatory: Its not like /.ers RTFA anyway.. :P

Which is arguably a good thing!

..they really should just be like Apple. No announcements. No press. No shareholder meetings. Just host a presser and release the product.
Then name the contractor or the sub.

Why aren't you naming names? Afraid that DishTV and DirectTV are going to get in a tizzy of you calling them out?
If it wasn't Qwest then who the hell was it?
The same reason you generally don't pay staff minimum wage. Minimum wage = minimum work and minimum trust.
Castle Doctrine *IS* the enhanced risk/penalty for committing crimes in person.
I'm imagining a 20-something in a hoodie with a room piled full of video games swimming around like Scrooge McDuck.
Perhaps Caesar from History of the World Part One, "TREASURE BATH!!!!".
