happens often enough. there is a reason the casinos are palaces and the players live in single-wides.
with the word Klingons scattered all over it. near as I can figure out from an early look, it's all about getting The Master Watch (tm). ghostwriter, the "with" part, is Jagermeister. not worth buying.
about the size of a pager or a basic clamshell phone, and they can distinguish between different isotopes. I know, I got pulled over and scanned (undisclosed period) after a radiation cardiac stress test.
assume Skype as a VoIP has multiple VoIP switches, which you really can't... some of the really big outfits used to run VoIP on a single switch for the whole nation. and if there's only a single switch, it's a single point of failure.
all the calls have to integrate into the mainstream telcos to interconnect at trunking points. if you have one, bingo. if you have multiple ones, and they run on the same physical backbone, bingo.
in order to make the interconnections to any other telco carrier, you have to have a signalling channel using SS7 protocol for billing, accounting, and charge-back stuff. the SS7 server goes down, bingo. the signalling channel goes down, bingo. and just because you are using a multiply-double-redundant system like a Stratus for SS7, be advised once in a rare while, a hardware failure can drop the whole box. a software glitch can drop the processes. I've had 'em under my wing, I know.
multiple single points of failure. if you're running something as cheaply as possible in a trial or in production, you also have less support folks and maybe don't have 24/7/365 vendor support. yet more SPOFs.
just because there's IP in there someplace, doesn't mean it's bulletproof.
you know, like the old days, when code was in magazines, and you could use it free. you could patch it or turn it around yourself, and learn something useful reading the stuff you didn't want to type in.
and the Avast folks have a list of the files in Windows handy, so they don't have rogue updates that brick your system by quarantining core files.
try it, you just might buy it. I did for my last surviving XP machine.
I had a nuclear scan scheduled for a week after the 9/11 attack. I suddenly started getting one or two calls a day from the medical center... it's off, it might be a week out, it might be two weeks out, we don't know... hey, come in your scheduled time, we just got a trickle of material, and we can do 8 or 9 tests.
the issue is, of course, the planes weren't flying. the special courier services weren't allowed to operate. the FedEx and UPS planes weren't allowed to operate. it's too far to drive the material. they finally found two containers of material at a distributor ten miles away that was to go out of activity tolerance in a day and a half.
a shipping container for, let's say for the sake of not spilling the beans, under a dozen doses, has three layers of radioactive protection. there are two layers of spillproof/shatterproof for both the short-lived nucleotide and the source that creates it from another short-lived nucleotide.
so, just as drunken truck drivers can move classified "special weaponry" across the country routinely, as we read earlier this week, certain amounts of radiostuff packed to standard X can be shipped per courier flight. not enough to wipe out a city, a little more than you are allowed without a higher-tier inspection system.
but do be advised it's not good stuff to keep around as a curiousity.
examples: stomp boxes for guitar players, foot pedals for sewing machines, which were copied after foot pedals for Movieola film editor viewers, foot pedals for Ironrite ironing drum machines, accelerator pedals, on and on.
oh, and if my hands are busy, I pet the cat with my foot.
bad enough their stupid flash ads required spanning disks to stream. bad enough that nothing else would load on the page because their stupid flash ad had another five minutes to run at 2 mbps bandwidth.
there are also a very limited number of secured chip fabs in the US, plants in which security is so well controlled that they are licensed to produce sensitive silicon for the government. IBM's fab in North Burlington is known to be one of them. you used to find all sorts of custom logic with IBM on the top in things like ethernet cards and video chipsets and the like. no more. no capacity.
really quite simple. fork Java and support the open calls. if Oracle and big business wants to ignore the open Java, then their sites don't work. they'll come around or lose to somebody else's bizwebbiething.

bugs are made from disgusting bug. no thanks.

scam in any event. MY data is supposed to be free. YOURS should pay me back.
must apologize to both alleycats and Hell for the associations above.
sic Ellison of Oracle and Darl McBride of Hell on each other.
open source, and mankind, can only benefit with those two alleycats tied tail to tail and tossed over a high-tension power line, to shred each other.
they are just more redundant.

2,6,11,24,42, and the booster-charge ball is 23. remember, never gamble more than you can lose.
a large part of the Faux News audience is folks who think they know it all already, and are only seeking reassurance of their obvious superiority.
they won't be angered by this, because they are only good for words of one or two syllables. just nod at the rest.
