No, I'm a real person, not an astroturfing drone. I just happen to be a real person that is tired of crap conspiracy theories. This is supposed to be a geek site, not an x-files are real site!
BBC presents evidence this is real. Since you're calling them liars, let's see the counter-evidence.
But, the fault lies elsewhere as well. After all, who the fuck was supposed to be doing the compliance audits, pen-testing, network security, firewall security? You always hire a reputable outside person/company to do those things.
I expected to find a bunch of "certified by X" badges on their website but it just says, basically, "we're safe. Trust us."
If they weren't on the government gravy train they probably would have been gone a long time ago.
What do you mean 'supposed'. It's supposed to be whatever congress says it is.
Yes, the language of the Constitution allows Congress discretion, but you can't ignore the understood conditions when the Constitution was ratified. If '152 years' was hard-coded in that article, it never would have been ratified.
That Congress would later do something so stupid wasn't anticipated (a systemic flaw, not just Copyright).
Funding Okular will not help 3rd party vendors for signature capture devices start supporting Okular for their own hardware. I need to convince them to start supporting more than Acrobat/MS Office.
Oh, so there's not a driver to interface with? I suppose if this was on linux you could fund a driver writer too, but that's not the Windows culture. This is what got RMS all worked up all those years ago...
You're using the PDF-standard embedded signatures, right?
Dude, X is 10. Roman numerals. OSX is OS10, as they were at Mac OS9 previously. Acrobat Reader X was also 10, as the previous version was 9.
Obviously, but you don't agree that using the Roman Numeral was an unusual stylistic decision that was subsequently mimicked by Adobe, Microsoft, and RIM?
Regulating social network software might actually be a good idea.
Regulations always protect the incumbents at the expense of their competition. They usually agree to be regulated for this effect and have a large hand in writing the regulations.
Sorry, but you're outlining a scenario that's only beneficial with non-corrupt certifiers.
If you want to start one, or pitch the likes of Consumers' Union, then perhaps you can achieve decent market regulation.
Always assume anything on facebook is visible to everyone always. You no longer have any control, it is never deleted, never removed.
Right.
It is why i have never used facebook ever. It isnt worth it.
This seems like a non-sequitor, unless you really fear what might be posted of you. I guess if you haven't used it you haven't experienced the networking power.
While i do know some has posted pictures of me, those pictures cant truely be linked to me.
Oh, but this is just mistaken. One cookie swap to a site that has your real name or e-mail address or home IP address and you're completely linked and profiled. NoScript, Adblock, Ghotery, etc.
The pictures of me that ARE there are just fishing trip pictures posted by other people. Why the hell should I care who can see them?
Me too. The pics I post up there are fit for public consumption, so I mark them public. Oh look ^ I post here with my real name too.
The trouble that some people have is that their friends will post a photo of them 'getting crazy' at a Tijuana donkey party. And tag them.
Either grow up or accept yourself, I say. If you really like the beasts of burden that much, maybe trying to get a job by deceit at the local parsonage isn't the right life strategy.
It takes NIMBY to quite another level when you build the backyard in question on top of what you don't want there.
It happens all the time with agriculture in some States. Housing development goes up next to that 'quaint' farm, then the manure spreaders come out in the spring.
The city people go apeshit (or is that cowshit?) and harrass the farmer with the government.
Or, my favorite, they build housing developments next to ecosystems that need occasional burns for reproduction or litter control but the new neighbors would never put up with that kind of smoke! Eventually, a raging forest fire breaks out instead and takes out the housing development.
Just allow the OS to flip a bit and gain direct access to the flash part, too, for those OSes that are aware of such.
These products seem to be for people who can't do that.
I'm one - in my laptop anyway, I have a Momentus XT. It's a small boost, but I find it worthwhile. And I have nowhere else to put some flash.
But at the office, I have a few SSD's inside my servers. I use them for ZFS L2ARC and ZIL. They can also be used for bcache and ext4 journals. I have extra power and SATA headers in those things, though, and I understand how to read a man page.
Receive secure documents all the time for markup and endorsements and Foxit can't even open it. Let's not even talk about 3rd party PDF support for electronic signatures from capture pads.
Why don't you get your company to fund the work to make Okular good enough for your purposes? After an incident like this, you simply can't trust Adobe to own your workflow any longer.
When the government stops granting them ~152-year monopolies on every piece of crap they churn out.
Every movie older that 14 years is supposed to be in the public domain. I'd still pay Netflix the same money for their streaming service and their library would be much better.
Traditional late fees are higher than the daily rental costs. They'd have $2 rentals and $5 late fees if the tape wasn't back in 24 hours.
Redbox is just a straight-forward and predictable rate. I'd probably use them if gas wouldn't cost me more than the rental. Netflix's use of USPS is most economical for me. Most days I drive by my mailbox anyway.
I was surprised to note that the OS version seemed to jump from the up-and-coming 7.1 to 10 next year
Well, Apple switched to '10' when they went UNIX. Perhaps RIM is just pedantically imitating their successful competition. Oh, right, now I see it: BBX = Black Berry X. So, not just '10', but 'X'.
Then while queuing up for the free playbook, we had to sign a "license agreement" for the 2.0 beta OS loaded on some of the devices.
OK, really imitating.
On a sidenote the keynote and all other opening prezzies were delivered using a Macbook pro which had the back covered to obscure the apple logo
Game, set match. Wait, are they trying to steal a company's trademark in court too?
Note to RIM: Apple didn't succeed by imitating Microsoft. Glad to see you're shipping phones on the Unix family tree and all, but that's not itself sufficient to be a major market player.

If your engine cuts out, there's not much else you can do.
The US flies lots of these things all the time. One had to have a critical failure and go down sometime.

So Mac OS X (pronounced "ten") is following a logical progression of version numbers. At least, until that point.
Right, Apple made a style decision, but RIM is just engaging in mimicry.
Dude, X is 10. Roman numerals. OSX is OS10, as they were at Mac OS9 previously. Acrobat Reader X was also 10, as the previous version was 9.
Obviously, but you don't agree that using the Roman Numeral was an unusual stylistic decision that was subsequently mimicked by Adobe, Microsoft, and RIM?
If we're both right the solution seems to be to get it right from the beginning and not let it get screwed up to begin with.
100% agree. But look up at the title bar. :)

1. The cost of freedom is lowered
What can we do to help? I mean as tech geeks, not subjects of the Western powers.

OK, maybe that's just equilibrium seeking.
And all that time, the citizens of Santa Clara were benefiting from the economic growth which the airport aided.
This kind of thinking is why I prefer the private property people to the socialists.
True. Fortunately NH has laws protecting ranges against that particular problem (though I imagine there was a reason those laws first got written).
Then again, it's NH protecting us against NH, so....

Multiply that out and it would take 360,000 days of using my machine for all of my NAND to wear out
The number to be concerned about isn't when all of the cells wear out, it's when one more than you need for cell redundancy wears out.

Securing peace is the people's and governments' job.
Sorry, boy, peace doesn't sell bullets.
or even other people in your own house
because watching videos in complete social isolation is the ultimate enjoyment?
I guess that's not wrong, but you're missing factors other people value.

late fees as a convenience service
Traditional late fees are higher than the daily rental costs. They'd have $2 rentals and $5 late fees if the tape wasn't back in 24 hours.
Redbox is just a straight-forward and predictable rate. I'd probably use them if gas wouldn't cost me more than the rental. Netflix's use of USPS is most economical for me. Most days I drive by my mailbox anyway.

If you pass up a short term advantage your competition may gain enough market share to squeeze you out of reaping long term benefits.
remember, the systems are all down in the long-term. That's the point at which competition can really come in and crush you.
