You might need to define vicinity. One option is to send the programmatically SMS of death to every possible combination of mobile phone numbers within you area code. That might hit a few that have roamed outside your area, but would largely accomplish your task.
Nah, that would never work where I live. University town, nobody bothers to get a new phone number when they move across the country these days. I think we better hit all the mobile numbers, just to be sure. Make sure you sign up for unlimited messaging first, though.
Fair enough, using the strict definition of DRM, Intel Insider isn't DRM, but it is still copy protection.
What strict definition of DRM? The one Intel made up to suit their purposes? None of the sources I've seen in a few quick searches say anything about DRM being software. In most cases it is referred to as a system, where it is not explicitly stated that it can be software, hardware, or a combination of the two. So where does this strict definition come from that you refer to?
From reading Intel's blog post, it sounds like they're defining DRM to be a software component and pointing out that Insider is a hardware feature, so not DRM. I think they're probably even right. But it sounds like Intel Insider is a hardware feature that's intended for implementing DRM (although maybe it has other uses) and that they're marketing it as being an improvement for DRM. It seems a little bit misleading to say "It's not DRM but it has these benefits ". But that's just my take on the blog post, maybe more technical information would change the picture.
As already pointed out, Wikipedia says otherwise. Of course that isn't necessarily a reliable source, but a quick search seems to corroborate the gist - DRM does't specifically apply to hardware or software, it is generally considered "a system for protecting copyrights of digital media."
I will say that Intel Insider is NOT a DRM technology.
So Intel created Intel insider, an extra layer of content protection
Talk about doublethink.
I like that his full explanation for why it isn't DRM is basically that "DRM is software."
Of course, Wikipedia and a Google search seem to disagree with that, but I guess Intel gets to make up their own definitions for terms to suit their (or Marketing's) needs.
There is no way a school is going to make children read a book with the word nigger in it. Its too much trouble for the teachers, principles, and school board. They wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole. The public school system is not equipped to handle controversy.
Then again, censoring such eminent work from Twain is going to catch you some major heat too.
The lesser of the 2 evils I think is to run the book with the word n***r censored that way, so every on is placated, and the students can have a discussion about it.
Yeah, but how do you do you pronounce n***r when you are having the discussion? "Now class, let's discuss how Twain contrasts Huckleberry's newfound perspective with that of his boyhood friend Tom, the disparity between the two illustrated when Tom is recounting the boiler explosion on his recent trip by steamboat; 'Thankfully no one was hurt. A n-star-star-star-er was killed.'"
Also, don't know where you're from, but we sure read Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn in school, n-word and all. Somehow we even managed to have discussions about the book and the use of offensive language in class, and no one even got fired! The only ones who complained were the kids who couldn't read more than two pages without a picture to look at.
Are they looking at different photos than what were published? The side-view photo certainly doesn't appear to be a high-speed test. Hard to tell with all the grain, but I would expect some blurring of the background and/or jet exhaust if it was traveling at high speed, but you see neither in those two photos. For all I can tell it could be a mockup sitting still on the tarmac. Not to say the Chinese haven't conducted high-speed tests of it, I just disagree with the claim that these photos show any evidence of it.
Other Photos seem to have the same issues - that might be some heat waving in the Guardian photo, but tough to tell.
Claiming that this could be a prototype fighter that challenges the F-22 based on these photos is just ridiculous, and one would think a writer for Jane's would know better. It is quite possible, as China has really made no secret of the fact that they are pursuing aviation technology very aggressively (and I do seem to recall reports of large portions of engineering data for the F-22 being stolen a while back. My mistake - apparently it was the F-35), and no doubt they are working on bringing their high-tech fabrication technology up to speed. But there is a very big jump between putting together a stealthy-looking mockup (all that can really be determined from the photos) and producing an effective combat system, from airframe to FCS to weapons systems and avionics. Like I said, I don't doubt that this is their goal, and I don't doubt that they will be fully capable of it within a relatively short time, but a couple of photos really doesn't prove (or even really suggest) much of anything.
What if searches for devious, undetectable methods of murder were in everyone's history?
If I'm not mistaken, you're condoning the murder of his wife?
Wow, talk about missing the point... How was what he said in any way condoning murder? Pointing out that there are any number of reasons someone might have rather incriminating things in their search/browser history doesn't translate to condoning murder. Nor does it suggest that it was unusual, unfair, or an invasion of privacy to look at the suspect's search history in this context. It merely points out that going the other direction - finding something "suspicious" in someone's search history does not mean they are up to no good (also shows how easy it might be to poison someone's results if you were trying to frame them).
Really; you somehow read into his comment that he somehow condones murder? Utterly bizarre.
6. Few business users will have SSDs in the foreseeable future either
I don't know, I think SSDs make a lot of sense in a business environment right now. They offer significantly better performance with the only drawback being up-front cost. And really, for the vast majority of business computers there is no need for hard drives with hundreds or thousands of gigabytes of local storage - files are stored on the server, with only a working copy on the desktop. A single 40 GB SSD would probably be sufficient 90% of the time. It just needs enough space for OS, applications, and whatever data you are working on right now. I haven't actually seen the data complied, but they should also have somewhat lower failure rates.
Sure, on my home computer I have a need for massive amounts of storage because I don't have a storage server set up (and an SSD for performance); right now at work I've got an ancient 40 GB spinning hard drive, which is only slightly over 50% full. Business use is the ideal place for SSDs to be put into use right now. Sure, a 40 GB SSD costs about as much as a 1 TB spinning drive, but with the HDD you're just paying for a lot of space that will never be used in exchange for lower performance that affects pretty much everything you do.
The "anomaly" doesn't guarantee cheating; but it tells them where to look. Kind of like a spam filter tells you what mail is probably spam, by sending it to a Spam folder.
They could assign everyone a few "extra" personalized tests every term and taylor the personalized test based on the statistical information. With suspected cheaters receiving some questions designed to expose them.
Right, because if there is one thing schools have it is the time and resources to tailor student-specific tests to validate the statistics of standardized tests.
Somehow I don't think so. More likely, you get flagged, you get put on probation (or worse) unless you can prove you did no wrong. Because most schools just don't have the time, money, or ability to follow up on such a result in a measured and appropriate way, yet they have to be seen to be taking some action to show they are taking the problem seriously.
The idea is great; I just don't see it being practical to put the results to use in any positive way, and I suspect the only result would be expedient (yet arbitrary and unfair) punishment based on the first-pass statistical analysis.
Wow, just got through reading over the page (and sub-pages) you linked. There is an astonishing lack of... anything, really. Not sure where you get your claims from, because most of them are not in there. Or if they are, have nothing to do with misconduct (Saudi Arabia being the primary source of contributions to Al Qaeda? Not surprising, not new, and not indicative of misconduct on the part of the US). I didn't see anything about under-reporting of Afghan casualties, for example - at least, not in the article dealing with Afghanistan where it would presumably be.
The Pentagon Papers...revealed official wrongdoing or, at the least, a pervasive lack of candor by the government to its people.
WikiLeaks is different. It revels in the revelation of "secrets" simply because they are secret.
and
Taken as a whole, however, a leak of this elephantine magnitude, which appears to demonstrate no misconduct by the U.S., is difficult to defend on any basis other than WikiLeaks' general disdain for any secrecy at all.
This premise is flawed. The government's misconduct is clear - they have systematically lied to the people. We're supposed to be a democracy, and that quite simply IS NOT POSSIBLE without the truth. The quicker we all come to grips with this fact the better.
Can you point to where we have been systematically lied to? I've heard this repeated numerous times, but haven't seen the leaks that show evidence of it (or even reporting of them).
Except Wikileaks didn't release all the cables at once (most still aren't released, we're only about 3% into it), and redacts a lot of information (some 15,000 war reports from Afghanistan, for example).
So WikiLeaks claims. But really, how can you know? They could be hiding anything in those documents they refuse to publish; what's more, they even keep the process of deciding what documents to publish secret! Those bastards! How can we ever trust them if they don't publish full and complete minutes of every meeting, every communication they have between members, every conversation they have with the media? How do we know they aren't accepting "donations" from certain entities in exchange for not publishing leaked documents relating to those entities? The lack of transparency is astonishing. I demand greater transparency in my whistleblowing/secret document leaking organizations!
Is not to inspire future scientists. It is that every kid with an IQ of 90 or more is told that they can be a doctor, lawyer, or scientist, and allocated resources as if they could, when only the 1st percentile or less can actually fill these positions.
I don't see how 'movies' solves this problem: instead, it makes people with Wal-Mart skills, think that they *should* have a better lot in life, and resent that something is wrong if they don't, and spend money trying to get degrees that are meaningless, and so forth ad infinitum.
Seriously? You think lawyers are in the top 1%?
I'm sure there are some lawyers in the top 1%, but it isn't exactly a requirement...
Likewise, although to a lesser extent, it is quite possible to be a good scientist without being one of the intellectual elites - you may not be at the forefront of your field, but you can be quite successful. Ask any scientists; 99% of discovery and advancement is really just drudgery in the lab/field. In most cases it is more about attention to detail, dedication, and rigor than being vastly more intelligent than everyone around you.
That said - you do have a good point that a lot of people are probably wasting resources going to college when they would be happier and more productive following a different route.
However, Ford's system--probably a variant of the system Mazda developed--is far less expensive to implement than the VW start-stop system. I wonder will the Ford start-stop system require the use of a direct-injected engine, though; mind you, this is less of a problem since Ford plans to switch to gasoline direct injection (GDI) over the next few years.
Great... only 10 years after VW introduced it in the mainstream, 14 years after Mitsubishi introduced it in Japan, and 55 years after Mercedes put it in the 300SL (according to Wikipedia). To be fair, it looks like Ford tried it back in the late 70's but cancelled the project.
Oh, wait. Further reading indicates that Ford already uses direct injection - in their European Mondeo since 2003. I guess it's just the American market that they will (finally) be transitioning over.
Addition to my post: You can find the Chinese mine on Google Maps if you put "baiyun'ebo" in as the search term as opposed to the various spellings in this and other articles.
Coordinates of the Chinese mine are 41.797846,109.976892 if you are interested in looking it up on Google Earth or similar. Hard to judge the size of the mine directly, but the sprawling piles of tailings are pretty impressive (the rampant nasty-looking runoff less so).
For comparison, the Mountain Pass mine in California appears to be at 35.47903,-115.535796 (literally just off I-15 between LA and Las Vegas).
Most of the maps that need that kind of accuracy are on a yearly update cycle anyway - for example aviation maps which also have the magnetic/geographic conversion numbers on them. I guess the military cartographers are very well aware of the problem and update accordingly. The drift within one year or whatever the upgrade cycle is shouldn't matter much.
Most maps and charts that show magnetic declination also include an approximate calculation to keep it more-or-less updated. In addition to the declination at the time the chart is made it will include an approximate direction and rate of annual change, something like 15.7 degrees west, moving east at 0.3 degrees per year.
Not super accurate, but enough for nearly all purposes to keep it up to date between map updates.
The biggest problem is if the molten core shifts around, then the localized heat sources change, which changes the temperature of the ground surface, the oceans, and the atmosphere given enough time. This would eventually lead to civilization-annoying weather pattern changes, causing regular cycling climates (hot summer, cold snowy winter) to become either more extreme (hotter summer, colder winter) or tilted (hotter summer, winters that are cold and rainy). This of course distorts any functioning agrarian society while the whole disaster continues; things have to be moved around after the weather settles down again.
Actually, geothermal energy at the surface of the earth is pretty negligible. Nearly all (99% +) thermal energy at the surface of the earth is due to solar radiation; it is unlikely that a lack of geothermal energy would have much of a direct impact on climate, although the end of all volcanic activity and specifically associated off-gassing would have a very significant effect.
Anyone want to place bets on whether or not the US government will press environmental regulations on Molycorp this time, now that national security interests are involved?
Not really; but if they have issues and US EPA won't go after them, you can be sure Cal EPA will.
Of course, then you would just have a bunch of right-wing bloggers screaming, "Why does California hate America???" but that isn't exactly new.
