looks to me like you're doing just fine without the degree to me.
To move much higher either a degree won't mean a thing or you'll need a masters, a bachelors I don't think will cut it.
The significance is that it would greatly simplify sending a manned mission to mars if there was water a large amount of water on the surface. It reduces the weight of the provisions that must be sent along and since it could also be converted to rocket fuel for the return trip.
What we really want is M$ to open their Office file formats so other programs can read and write MS files with ease. Fully publishing their OS API's would help a lot also. These two things available as a free download to anyone that wants them would go a long way to helping out.
There is a whole multi-billion dollar industry around modding trucks & Jeeps. The question is how much work do you want to put into your mods? People build MAME cabinates or mod their pc cases all with all kinds of stuff, but complain about a few hours work to get their car the way they want it. Heck I know guys that build their vehicles from the frame up to get exactly what they want. Yes it takes a long time but it's the same mindset as building a pc from scratch, and considering some of the doorknobs that build their own cars it can't be that hard. Figure out what you want to do, then how to do it, it's the hacker way.
How does their solution stop you from putting a firewall/router/proxy on the clients end which is the only system to talk directly to the net. Most people don't need to NAT a address to use the web. It seems to me that the people that are likely to set up a wireless network for their friends and neighbors could set up the above devices to mask what's going on.
Depending on how something like this would be implemented it could really cost a business a lot.
Let's say $2.00/person/day = $60/person/month.
100 employee's = $6000/month = $72,000/year
5000 employee's = $300,000/month = $3.6M/year
There's no way web access would remain enabled.
Plus can you imagine a ticked off employee that wrote a script to download pages 24/7 every couple seconds, and running up a huge bill over a long weekend.
I heard about this on monday, and what a bombshell it was. On top of evrything else now my company has to figure out how to migrate over 100 3000 systems, with over a terabyte of data and several million lines of code to a new platform. It'll be a bigger project than Y2k.
This would be wonderful.
I've noticed this more and more. Yes, it's kind of annoying but it wasn't that big a deal. But here in the last couple of weeks I've been watching a show and missed something in the corner that was obscured by the logo. I'll admit that not much happens in the corners but when it does, it's usually important, and I want to see it.
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Terrorists struck the United States Tuesday morning in harrowing, widespread attacks that included at least three commercial jet crashes into significant buildings.
In the first attack, a plane hits the north tower of the World Trade Center in Manhattan shortly before 9 a.m., followed by another plane into the second tower about 20 minutes later. Both towers later collapse.
About an hour later, a plane crashes into the Pentagon, part of which later collapses.
American Airlines tells CNN that it lost two planes, both en route to Los Angeles: American Flight 11 from Boston with 81 passengers and 11 crew aboard is lost. This is believed, but not confirmed, to have been one of the planes that crashed into the trade center.... American Flight 77, a Boeing 757 from Washington Dulles airport to Los Angeles with 58 passengers and six crew is unaccounted for. Witness says plane that hit Pentagon was an American Airlines Boeing 757.
United Airlines loses two planes: United Airlines Flight 93 airliner headed from Newark, New Jersey, to San Francisco, crashes near Somerset, Pennsylvania -- police say initial reports indicate no survivors.... United confirms the crash of Flight 175 from Boston to Los Angeles with 56 passengers and seven crew aboard. It's possible, but not confirmed, that this is the second plane that hit the World Trade Center.
FBI sources said all four planes that crashed had been hijacked.
The Pentagon, the White House, the State Department, the Justice Department, the Capitol, the CIA and all other government buildings in Washington are evacuated.
President Bush calls the crashes "a national tragedy." Later in the day, Bush issues a statement from Barksdale AFB near Shreveport, Louisiana. "Make no mistake: The United States will hunt down and punish those responsible for these cowardly acts."
In the first-ever national ground stop of aircraft, all flights nationwide are stopped at their departure airports.
International flights are initially diverted to Canada; FAA says later, however, that 22 U.S.-bound international flights will be allowed to land.
Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef, the Taliban ambassador to Pakistan, says in reaction to the terror attacks that "we want to tell the American children that Afghanistan feels your pain and we hope that the courts find justice."
In New York, more than 10,000 rescue personnel rush to the scene. Evacuation of lower Manhattan begins.
Israel evacuates all of its missions around the world.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta is evacuated. CDC prepares bioterrorism teams in case they become necessary.
Philadelphia landmarks are evacuated.
In Chicago, the Sears Tower is evacuated; United Nations in New York is evacuated.
Five battleships and two aircraft are deployed along the East Coast of the United States, and two aircraft carriers go to New York area, all from Norfolk, Virginia.
The New York Port Authority closes all bridges and tunnels into the city.
U.S. stock markets close after the New York attacks.
NATO sends home all non-essential personnel from its Brussels, Belgium, headquarters.
The Immigration and Naturalization Service puts the U.S. borders with Mexico and Canada on highest state of alert.
Los Angeles International Airport is evacuated.
Disney closes its parks in Orlando, Florida, and Disneyland in Anaheim, California.
FEMA implements plan established for such events: FBI leads investigation, and Justice Deptartment heads crisis management.
Three Palestinian groups -- Hamas, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine and Islamic Jihad -- deny responsibility for the attacks, but blame U.S. policies in the Mideast.
Mayor Anthony Williams of Washington, D.C., declares a state of emergency.
A Delta flight makes emergency landing in Cleveland and all passengers are safely evacuated. Federal officials search the plane for a possible bomb.
There is a chess variant that was proposed by Bobby Fischer to eliminate the open book knowledege that top players and computers have. It's called Fischer Random Chess and it works by scrambling the arrangement of peices under the following rules,
1. must have opposite colored bishops &
2. one rook on either side of the king.
Black and White have the same arrangement of peices & there is also some modifications to the castling rules. What this gives you is 960 possible starting positions and effectively eliminating opening theory and get's down to how well you play, not what you've memorized.
Several people have mentioned using encryption at work on their personal files, email, etc.... However, a lot of companies, several that I have worked for, as well as goverenment agencies have computer use policies that forbid the use of encryption software on their computers except for company business. Using it for any other purpose can be grounds for termination especially if you refuse to give the company the key to decrypt it as part of an investigation. It's something to be aware of if you go sown that path.
When I first saw this post I thought it was about someone claiming that a hacker couldn't break into the system. Infact the word hacker isn't even used in the article. It's about being able to build/change/mod your system the way you want to. As Computers become more more common some of them are going to be more difficult to change the configuration, size being the issue here. It's pretty tough to mod a wrist watch, but not impossible. They use the example of people moding their cars back in the 60's & 70's as an example. Never mind that modding cars is still around and a multi-billion dollar/year industry.
Hackers are hackers, they're going to find a way to mod their car/ computer/ software/ watch/ whatever, if they want to, it'll never end.
Hummm, Liposuction will remove accumulated fat from your ass but won't do anything for your arteries. An angioplasty will clean those clogged vessels right up though.

Looks kinda similar to the old game "Hacker" for the APPLE 2 that came out in the 80's.
The significance is that it would greatly simplify sending a manned mission to mars if there was water a large amount of water on the surface. It reduces the weight of the provisions that must be sent along and since it could also be converted to rocket fuel for the return trip.
One has to wonder if this was their plan all along.
I just turned off read access to all files on my hard drive, does this count and a DRM OS now?
I'd hate to not be compliant.
What we really want is M$ to open their Office file formats so other programs can read and write MS files with ease. Fully publishing their OS API's would help a lot also. These two things available as a free download to anyone that wants them would go a long way to helping out.
I think every search engine should pull them from their database, until they've got a mutually signed agreement with them.

You've got a cubical? I dream of working in a cubical. Here, there's 150 of us working in a shoebox in the middle of the road.
Then it can only be called: Google-Plex

They should send a complimentary copy to The National Weather Service to replace that Stephan Hawking sounding thing that tells us to take cover now.
Are they certain of this?
