You do realize that the Protocol currently excludes China and India from committments. which are the biggest destinations for commercial and job emmigration. It would put the US on uneven ground with both countries. Without those countries being included it is a big deal to the US economy to ratify.
The relevance of this treaty to the USA is defined by the relationship of the US to China and India within the context of the treaty.
Perhaps this is why Apple etc are being sued... Im sure the law doesnt allow you to simply get around patents by simply buying from a country where the patent protection did not apply. And if they are getting their equipt this way they are the point of entry and therefore responsible for the alleged infringement.
Yes, I know I'm treating the US as a single group. See how it feels?
...you act as if that was something new.
Ive been to many different countries esp in Europe. I was supprised at how often people would tell me how "Americans" think. Then I would have to point out that the United States is a very large country with many people with very strongly different opinions from each other. Funny enough when I ask them if they have ever been to the US or how many people they know from the US they hardly had anything to say.
I agree, this push to get women into technology does the women who want to be there a dis-service. When people who were coaxed into a major that they didnt really want to be in, I think they tend to shine less when they enter the work force. If you get to have alot of disintrested women entering the Tech work force, it creates a stereo type that will unfairly be applied also to the women who actually wanted to be there, and went into tech on their own. This is the same problem that exists with affirmative action. Treating the symptoms only makes the problem worse.
OR, what if a terrorists happens to use common place equiptment to over power the control towers radio signal and tells a pilot it is safe to land... when it isnt.
Quick we should eliminate radios they are an opportunity for terrorists.
Or worse yet... what if a person with access is offered a significant sum of money to allow terrorists into the control tower.
Getting more out than you put in is not the same as a sustained reaction. I think the claim here is that this laser bank would be able to create a sustained reaction. Previous ignitions were not capable of sustaining themselves despite their heat output.
"But world leaders, journalists, and political scientists who tout the Internet as a powerful force for political change are just as wrong as the dot-com enthusiasts who not so long ago believed the Web would completely transform business."
Anyone who thinks the web has not completely changed major business has to get their head out of their ass. Quote:
"It has yet to topple--or even seriously undermine--its first tyrannical regime."
How long does this guy think these countries have had the web, and what percentage of these people does he think use it there? And finally how long does he think it takes for something like this to change culture? Holy Shit Dude! Its like saying: "we started publishing an underground newspaper three years ago, and it has yet to topple Dictator so and so.." Real soulutions take time. Cultural change takes time. And it is WAY to early to be making judgements about the way the web is affecting these places
Maybe all the tards will finally leave CompSci and stop wasting the time of everyone else who actually wants to be there. Im sick of students who cant even code coming up through the system because they dont really care and have cheated their way as far as they have come. They are overcrowding the program and ruining the name of universities who would otherwise have impressive graduates coming out of their programs.
They are orthogonal in theory only. In practice the requirements to bring people into the system makes the economic systems dependent on the governmental system.
It is extremely difficult for a free market economy under strict control since by definition its not a free market if it is tightly controled.
Communism on the other hand requires strict control as people will default to free market economic behavior when not constrained. It therefore requires more governmental control through its need for economical control. In my opinion, that is why it failed. The idea is great, but its like the environment, attempts to control throw it out of balance.
After reading what tcpwrappers do, and interpreting what you are saying, using tcpwrappers is effectivly performing the functionality at the OS level. Which revalidates my original point.
Now you could argue what "OS" encompasses, and while a browser may not be part of the os, by most people's definitions initd as well as tcpwrappers are part of the OS.
Once again, though it would have to be done for each application. This takes care of all current and future applications without any consideration by the application programmer.
Except that this way you dont even know that there is a service running. If you put some thought into it, which you have obviously not done, you will see that it has lots of merit.
Try to avoid the knee jerk "this is dumb" reaction. Not only is it close minded, but if someone has put some time into something, most likely they would have considered the same issues that you have in your 2 seconds of thinking about this.
Except that each program wanting to use this technique would not have to implement it at the application level, as it would be taken care of at the OS level. Allowing all existing programs to take advantage of this right now without modification All fixes would happen by patching the OS level implementation rather than doing each for each application. So really there is a removal of complexity. The gains are in eliminating duplicated code.
Less importantly, the configuration of this for all services could be done
Also, its not used for the only password. It is added security. Only people who can intercept packets for the host can replay the sequence. This prevents whole sale port scanning being productive.

umm... how about politics in general. No need to point fingers at the USA for this one. Its human nature.
I agree, but I dont believe this can be solved by affirmative action style policies... I think these policies only make things worse.
There is a natural pace to these types of changes you have to do it gently. To much force and you make it worse.

Its pretty boreing right now. Just shots of the pair climbing.

Yeah as long as we are only using it in the vacuum of space we should have no problem.
Fortunately I was born after they realized that 640kb would be enough for anybody.
Yeah, those tie fighters are so loud, they are even loud in the vacuum of space !!!

The OS is more than just the kernel

... And then of course you have to make sure "Captain Blackhat" doesnt standing behind you watching your keystrokes...
Obviously this port knocking technique doesnt work.
