It's about the right to tell a web site, to which you have previously provided information, that it must remove that information.
Well, some people think it's the right to censor the web. I.e tell Google to forget everything you know about me, including the links to the news sites detailing how I stole money from people, etc... The right to be forgot isn't about deleting data from facebook, it's about erasing mistakes and shady backgrounds. I am pro-privacy, but anti-right-to-forgotten.
On the other hand, if it is about deleting data *you* uploaded to a site/service, how about just using sites/services which up front offer a "delete all me data" option?
Got to love the way there is nothing keeping the cellphone chip from talking to the rest of the car and no way of turning it off.... Mailing USB sticks with a ford sticker on them is just creating another attack vector.
I still have my original 1983 BBC model 'B' version of Elite, complete with original case, manual, novelette and 5 1/4inch disc. It was the one piece for my "computing childhood" I saved.;-)
"I keep a Pentium Pro CPU on my desk underneath my monitor because it reminds me of simpler times."
You kids and your new shit. Nothing simple about a 32-bit CISC chip. When I was a kid we had 8-bit CPUs and liked it! I didn't wait for a "Computer Shopper" with a demo CD, I had to write my games/apps! If I was lucky I could type in some buggy code from a magazine and try to get it to run.
Every now and then I still play Elite. And dock without docking computers.
In the past, ARM processors were notoriously unfriendly in non-professional environments due to proprietary tool chains and unfamiliar instruction sets. Because of this, they were conspicuously absent from classrooms and hobbyists’ workbenches.
ARM start off in the classroom in form of the Archimedes A3xx, the instruction set is simple and easy to learn, I've always found it very easy to get specs for an ARM chip (at least the ARM part, often combined with another chip on the same silicon, can't speak for the none ARM parts). I learnt the ARM instruction set in 1989 as teenager and pretty much every thing I learnt is still relevant. The

Given that they didn't have to pay any human staff, and 50% of customers paid, did they make or lose money? Also, if the automated teller hadn't of shutdown due to alcohol being purchased, would the number of paying customer have been much higher?
I notice other subtle attempts to discredit Iranian domestically produced equipment in the US/western press. When ever an "allied" power makes a press release or claim to have produced it's own version of something (a submarine, rocket, satellite, etc.), the press refers to it as "domestically produced". When Iran makes a press release or claim to have made the same thing, the press calls it "home made", which seems to imply it was name in somebodies garage at home (and it's comparable to things like the home made Chinese oil drum submarine).
Ah, so when the Bing toolbar is installed, it indexes every page and link the user visits, to the point that if a couple of users are on a page with a random character string and link on a link it will update the Bing search engine/indexes. If so it would seem that Bing's index would be polluted with spam links, other people are spending a lot more time trying to get links into Bing than Google is. And as for your example with ford, this doesn't seem valid, since Bing already has index entries for ford (and other normal/popular terms), this is about what bing does when it doesn't have any results.
This certainly doesn't look like FUD from google's part, it does seem kind of clever of MS, but also seems rather questionable from a moral point of view, I doubt it's illegal like some people where claiming.
Eh, what? Can you explain "purposefully seeded information" and "could have done the same with other web pages"? I don't get your point, or understand what you are trying to claim (other than Google did something bad, but I am not sure what).
Note, my response is a simplified answer to the "how could they have done that" question posed earlier. I am not claiming that this is what happened, just offering a possible answer to somebody's question.
Somebody typed the word into a Bing query entry box and hit submit. I.e.: A person searches for a term, and if Bing doesn't have any results for that term, then it goes to google.com, performs a search for the same term and returns those results. Does that help?
Nope, not the case, because that WOULD be illegal. Every single roll of the random number generator must legally be "random" (or as pseudo-random as random number generators are capable of getting), which basically means every spin has to have the exact same 1 in whatever chance of hitting the jackpot.
The numbers would have been randomly generated, but they would have been generated far enough in advance that the house knows when it's going to happen. So you are betting on the out come on an event that has happened, rather than one that will happen. And you as you point out, the house could re-seed or adjust the current payout ratio to suit the situation (re-adjusting it later to conform to the required payout law, or not).
I am very happy with Patelco CU (also a tech/comms credit union). Full transaction history and they doesn't try to rob me at every opportunity! It's almost like open source banks!.... almost. Maybe we could start a credit union for open source developers?
I used to dislike testing until I learn how to implement code designed to be tested. Use a dependency injection frame work (that will keep you busy for a while) and write testable code. Writing elegant, readable code which scalable and testable is not an easy or boring task. If you can not automate the tests, you are probably do something wrong.
Yeah... Flatscreen TVs were trendy. I am sure people will stop using them any day now. Or Ipods. Or smartphones. Or cell phones. Or laptops.
Correct. Flatscreen TVs you bought 5 years ago are not as good as the flatscreen TVs you can buy today. Same with cell phones, will the iPhone4 be considered (one of) the best smart phone 5 years from now? Hybrid automative technology is new and we can expect great improvements in performance and decreases in price 5 years from now. The type of person is who is at the head of the queue to jump on the band wagon isn't going to be satisfied with being left behind 5 years from now.
Tell him under no circumstances is he allowed to program. Should work with most teenagers.
Funny, I started programming round when War Games came out. My parents were very worry about my interested in computer programming, I was banned from owning a modem while I live at home. Or maybe it was all a ploy so I would leave home and go to college, rather than staying home and become a fisherman.
I was on the third floor of an apartment building, taking pictures of the moon from a balcony when I dropped my Nexus 1. I watched it fall two floors before bouncing two or three times on to another roof, landing in a large puddle under and an extractor fan. I figure it would be dead and climbed down to recover my SIM card. After about 10 minutes of fishing around under the extractor fan in a 4+ inch deep puddle I recovered it, it was still on and in camera mode, not even a scratch on the case. I wiped it off and it's been working fine with no side effects from the fall and bath.
Close your eyes. Picture a convict. What's he wearing? Nothing special, baseball cap on backwards, baggy pants... he says something ordinary like... 'yo, thats shizzle.' Okay. Now slowly open your eyes again. Who are you picturing? A black man? Wrong. That was a white woman. Surprised? Well, shame on you.
Funny, when I openned my eyes I saw a Jewish investment banker! Scary!
P.S. Do NOT get me started about the teenager who lied to me, told me she was 18, when I was 21, I believed her. We dated for over a month before something she said simply did not add up and I finally got her the truth out of her, that she was 15. I had no choice but to drop her like a hot potato due to her age alone, however I did NOT like the fact that it hurt her. Thank goodness I was not one to rush into sex at that stage of my life or I might have ended up in a compromising position. The whole month I was in her home, she was in my home, never saw her parents who traveled and obviously trusted her enough to leave her on her own. Another reason I assumed she was 18, her parents were in Europe and she was in the US on her own.

Pretty regular behavior.
The sad part is that you think this is "pretty regular behavior". Something about frogs being slowly boiled and not realizing it.

where does the string come from?
Somebody typed the word into a Bing query entry box and hit submit. I.e.: A person searches for a term, and if Bing doesn't have any results for that term, then it goes to google.com, performs a search for the same term and returns those results. Does that help?
The big question I have is: how?
if (bing.getResult() == "") then { return google.getResult(); }
Nope, not the case, because that WOULD be illegal. Every single roll of the random number generator must legally be "random" (or as pseudo-random as random number generators are capable of getting), which basically means every spin has to have the exact same 1 in whatever chance of hitting the jackpot.

Do it. You seriously don't want to be the guy who sent his father out into the woods with sub-par gear. That's how people fucking die.
Mmmmmmm, the family fortune will soon be mine..... better include this leaky jar of honey just in case daddy get hungry...
