Civilian GPS devices are generally not as hardened as milspec devices and should not be used in the AOR (both in the physical and electrical/jamming sense).. I seriously believe that these pieces of technology should be considered a secondary tool that provides ease in their jobs.. but a compass and a map should too be a requirement.. regardless of milspec'd hardware.
Good to know, I've been concerned about that as well. I'm not entire sure of the regulations related to communication devices. In all, regardless of what I might want I won't set myself up for trouble, but I am interested in the possibilities.
Also, if you integrate an element of fiber optics into a cable that routinely wrapped up, stepped on, or just basically abused, wouldn't it fail far easier than a standard cable?
Some people believe it isn't fair they contract certain diseases or viruses, and are willing to continue their lifestyle regardless of what it may cause ("It wasn't fair, so I'll just ignore it and keep going"). While this can pertain to HSV or HIV, I don't think it would be possible to relate it to this. If you were dying very quickly would you really urge to run out and infect a bunch of people? Not really.
Your 'terrorist' idea though, that is one scary idea. While I think the term has been beaten to death by Bush and the media, that would definitely cause it. Lets hope they realize in the end it would still spread to their people, too. Hopefully they have some sense of survival and self-preservation.
Why does everything boil down to the word "terrorism" these days? The new buzzword for the fear department.
I agree, I was thinking the same thing -- I could just imagine some kid thinking it would be funny to shoot somebody in the eye with one of these things, and there is nothing I can do to protect myself from it.
I'm not sure if this is exactly WHY I had speech issues when I was younger, but I know that everybody that has been raised in my parents house has ended up with trouble speaking. My sister who is seven years still talks as if she was three. I'm not saying she uses "mama" for mom, but she has huge trouble with pronouncing words properly.
Compooder is her version of Computer. She says water like "Wha Ter", because my mom tried to teach her it isn't waher. Three is free, etc.
I assume it is caused from everybody speaking like a baby for far too long with us. Or something.
Maxxuss is definitely making a name for himself (if it really is only one person). He is already heavily involved with removing Apple's restrictions on Mac OS X for Intel too.
Whoa. Generally, I take slashdot to be a lighthearted place to read interesting techish things. This post really does give me pause though. Not only does it sound like a mad World of Warcraft player's blog entry, it doesn't even explain the elements of what happened. If it wasn't for the fact that I play World of Warcraft I wouldn't have had a clue what he was on about.
I agree, Blizzard should have tested that part of the patch more specifically. Apparently, the gate was already opened on the test server (this is what I've heard from other players, I never did test the patch) which would leave me to suspect they never tested opening the gate very much.
Walk into about any mall these days and you will find these really cheap knock-off's of a Play Station design that can play thousands of games. I played Mario Brothers on one. I thought it was just a small operating down here until I went up north and found the same thing, and a bit more funny (side note), they're Colombian. All of them!:o
But staying with 1.5 you can do so much more then the 2.0. I agree, I would rather use 2.0, but I want to keep my benefits I get with 1.5:
Run UMD images instead of disks, saves battery and lets me carry three games without the disks. I have three games on my memory stick right now, and a forth in the UMD drive. Four games (which I ripped from my UMD's).. Thats nice.
Run my emulators, which give me handheld ability to play games that I have been playing for years on my computer.
I was running 2.0, and missing out. I'm glad they did this, but worried it will slow down the hacking on 2.0 for homebrew to work.
Note the information on why natural nuclear reaction doesn't occur on Earth anymore, if the moon is in anyway related to a similar age as Earth then it too wouldn't occur anymore.
Then again, was an interesting read. +1 Interesting to you, if I didn't reply.
...I can only imagine how many women are going to protest this. On the same key, if there was a report that said women are smarter then men, most likely we would just accept it, or ignore it, and continue to put together the desk without directions.
...women will be forced to wear what are essentially men's underwear (and, I would imagine, are less comfortable for women--correct me if I'm wrong)...
This is just a dodgy attempt at getting a random geek-girl to talk about her undies;)
I wish all parents were like that. My sisters father works full time, out of the house, never home. My mom pushes her off onto my other sister to watch, or to just sit around the house and watch TV..
That is all she does, watch TV. She talks to herself, has imaginary friends, and is *SO* happy if mom is willing to give her a few minutes of her time.
She is spoiled. If she screams about it she gets it. She drinks her own special drinks, she has cookies and ice cream anytime she wants it. She has any toys she wants, she doesn't sleep in her room.
Some of this is similar to how my mom was when I was my sisters age. You were lucky to get attention. You were held back from everything until you hit 18, then she asks why you didn't have a job yet and when can you move out. I was always told I would never become anything, I'll just end up to be a drunk like my father. Anytime something good happened she would tell me that not to expect it to last, that life sucks and that I should accept it instead of being happy.
Today I am a quiet person. At the moment I'm struggling with how I want to continue my life.. I have no real direction. I love computers, I want to work in the field, but I don't have the certs.. and I live in the worst place to find any job related to IT.
An operating system build around Unix that provides some elements of Unix but keeps everything incredibly simple? I'd love it. I want something simple these days. Let my servers be their usual basic selves. Let my computer be simple!
It honestly would be the answer to a lot of problems with PC's. People don't want to be arsed with learning everything, they just want to use it, and forget it. Apple does a good job of being almost sickly simple on most tasks.
You still use paper tickets here too. Pity they just don't use ID, or for these people who have seasonal passes, a photo id right on it. Seems cheaper then half-working finger scanners.
I recently went there for the 4th of July (well, arrived around the second). After buying the tickets we decided to go to Disney Quest (Arcade).. We waited in line for quite awhile waiting for a number of people in front of us to do the whole two finger scan deal. Usually, it wouldn't work the first time, and they would need to do it over, and over.. One group in front of us couldn't get in because the girl's fingers didn't match her card. Nothing about how it wasn't a valid card, just the fingers didn't match.
What I was told was the first time you use the system they take a shot of your fingers, this is used across the parks afterwards. My group of friends laughed when I raised an eyebrow at the fact that they were collecting fingerprints (though apparently not, generally it would be taken as that).. I was a bit annoyed at the fact that my prints were then on record with Disney. What exactly is the point? Keeping people from reusing the pass? Ok, that is fair, but it would have seemed better to use something like "It was used twice in minutes? That makes no sense!" Or perhaps "They haven't left the building yet, how has it been used elsewhere?"
It just seems like they've put way too much work into making it harder.
Apple has done it to themselves though. They have for so long kept their Operating System away from people who want it that soon people will do everything they can to get it. If they would have even released a version that has less then the Mac OS X that runs on their own hardware it could have on some level fed the masses enough to calm them down, albeit, for only a time, but they would still have profited.
Glad to see Debian coming back to a relatively current stable. Debian was my distro of choice until two years later I had the same current CD to install with. I moved from BSD for my servers then. Workstation wise, Debian will be great again:) I wonder what will happen to all of those users who use backports.
Yeah, I have a copy of that. I prefer the Corp version over the five in one though. I haven't played with it much though, I thought about seeing if the Windows Media Center bit would actually work or not.

Just a nudge at your GPS stuff..
Civilian GPS devices are generally not as hardened as milspec devices and should not be used in the AOR (both in the physical and electrical/jamming sense).. I seriously believe that these pieces of technology should be considered a secondary tool that provides ease in their jobs.. but a compass and a map should too be a requirement.. regardless of milspec'd hardware.
Definitely helps, I wasn't sure how I would get one if I was over there already, now I know :)
Good to know, I've been concerned about that as well. I'm not entire sure of the regulations related to communication devices. In all, regardless of what I might want I won't set myself up for trouble, but I am interested in the possibilities.

I definitely didn't think of 'terrorism', though.

The last pictures shadow looks how it should be -- The leg of the lander is angled, which causes the shadow to look off.

Notably most stores will not stock AO rated games, which is why the rating hurt Rockstar. I'm going off of what I was told in the store.

No clue what to do

It honestly would be the answer to a lot of problems with PC's. People don't want to be arsed with learning everything, they just want to use it, and forget it. Apple does a good job of being almost sickly simple on most tasks.
And in style.

With the firmware being so easily changed, you can run just about anything on it.
I mean, I telnet into mine right now and review settings.. Which I love.
There is a list of firmware at wikipedia:
