I see, people don't remember this and this (or this if you use MSIE or Lynx, or PDA-based browser)?
Second camera is gone for now (until I'll place it in another room) but both camera and controls are working perfectly after years of being in use, and relocation from California to Colorado.
I use this a lot from a regular computer, or PDA, with a web browser and all kinds of wireless setups, including 802.11b, and this thing was up and running for more than four years.
Except that PIX _is_ PC hardware. And IOS is an amateurish mess, both in design (userspace-less OS with ever-growing functionality is bound to get nasty security bugs in the process) and implementation (spaghetti).
Yeah! Instead of solving the problem and implementing business logic just stuff it into some inflexible transaction-driven model written in a language composed of multiple idiosyncrasies of its authors, and call it a solution.
It's yet another one-size-fits-all solution for people that can't design their way out of a wet paper bag -- it is for software development what "wizards" are for system administration.
AMD doesn't make heatsinks, and there is a shitload of ways to cool a chip without causing as much noise as average AMD-compatible heatsink+fan make. It's just people that make cooling devices have creativity of a lemming.
Really, what does Exchange do other than implementing known things (mail, calendar, etc.) using its proprietary protocol? Cyrus is superior to Exchange in everything that it does, and the only thing that it doesn't do is calendar.
There are a lot of calendar applications, however the main reason why they aren't used widely is BECAUSE PEOPLE WHO WRITE SOFTWARE, HATE, HATE, HATE BEING ON THE CLOCK, especially when it involves "meetings", and especially when it allows others to force their schedules on them.
My question is this: there is nothing legally wrong with space-shifting my CD collection, so what is legally wrong with space-shifting my DVD collection?
Nothing. Valenti just pulled that out of his elderly ass.
...software run on Windows... people use giant projection screens filled mostly with empty space in dialog boxes yet don't have their own monitors, and sit in Aeron chairs... photos show infamous "text projected on a face" effect except that it's real this time, someone actually got a face in front of a projector, blocking it from all others...
Why does it all look like a PR stunt, dotcom style, or something from a low-budget TV series?
... for radio waves in GHz range. Old houses don't have metal reinforcement meshes, so one can treat anything to be "line of sight" as long as it crosses only brick walls, plaster and wood. What they have to look for is the line that is not blocked by trees/plants with leaves that have size comparable with a wavelength (poplar, maple, etc. -- I have no idea what grows in that particular place) -- those contain enough water to work as antennas, so they can block the radio waves easily.
The whole "night not work" thing is silly -- one only needs two laptops, or laptop and AP to check if the link can be established, first with builtin antenna, then with small patch antennas, remaining indoor in those buildings.
How is what someone thinks a physical attribute? I can choose to think what I want... our mental capacity is such that we can surpress some thoughts and elevate others. Certainly there are those who can't control their thoughts... or have less capability to do so; and in that case it's physical, but it has less to do with what they're thinking, but more of the categorization that implies the thoughts. I'll address that in a moment.
It doesn't matter. The device does not pick up thoughts, they are "encrypted" in a way that no one understands anyway. It picks up brain activity in general, and how normal thoughts and emotions affect that, depends on individual's physical characteristics, that vary between brains.
A society is built on sacrificing certain amounts of your "rights" such that everyone can on average enjoy the same level of rights, since very often one's desires and beliefs will infringe on others.
"Not being murdered" is not a right in the first place -- protection against crime can not override the protection of rights, and this is why we have the whole judicial system in the first place. On average as a crime deterrent, law, police and courts are just as effective as lynching, yet lynching randomly violates rights and freedoms of the accused while law enforcement and judicial system don't (or at least have a goal of not doing so). Discrimination however has an especially nasty nature -- same people gets to be unfairly oppressed all the time when they do something essential to their lives, in this example, travel.
The real problem is that this is discrimination by a physical parameter of individual. The law is completely screwed up here -- it's illegal to discriminate based on one things (ones that caused enormous amount of outcry in the past -- race, gender, religion...) and legal to do so based on all others even though they are not any different in their nature (physical attributes like in this case, citizenship, etc.).
Even disabilities required a separate law being passed about discrimination of disabled people -- and in those situations disabilities actually impede various activity, so discrimination could be at some extent justified, just ethically wrong.
I mean, there is no shortage of secure ways to keep the data on the laptop inaccessible to others. Encrypt the disks and shut down the laptop before leaving. Encrypt the RAM image before suspending and saving it to disk, and ask for the key when resuming, if you don't want to shut down. Keep the portion of key on some device that should be physically connected, and shut down or suspend when it's removed.
But the main ideas should be -- if the data is not supposed to be read by someone else, it should be encrypted already, and if user is not at the keyboard, the thing is not supposed to be running in the first place. And no one should rely on anything that happens when user is already away.
People's right to free speech is unrelated to this -- in most of situations where corporation "speaks" , its employees' rights are actually trumped by corporation's contracts (NDAs, trade secrets, various agreements), yet corporation itself can "speak" as a separate entity, and that "speech" is supposed to be entirely based on corporation's interests. Yes, a corporation can force an employee (writer, spokesperson, executive) to say what it, as a large non-human entity, "wants" even if no one inside the corporation agrees with it.
But then again, the GPL also states that any software so licensed is bound to any future revisions of the GPL.
Shut up, liar. Usual license note says "either version two of this License, or any later version." This means, the current version of the license can't be revoked, it only allows the user to choose to comply with the later version if it will be issued later. If the later version will be more restrictive user can choose to continue complying with the older one.

I guess, they were way too optimistic about the schedule. Not to mention that their server runs Windows.
You have got to be f#&king kidding me! That Stroustrup book is the worst programing book I own.
It's not the book, it's the author -- that book and C++ design show that Stroustrup has pretty poor understanding of the design and philosophy of C. The problem is, C++ is still the most usable general-purpose OO language, and Stroustrup's confusion and his part of C++ dual philosophy are still reflected in it, so the book is still good for studying.
Same about Cold War and Russia -- when USSR was dissolved, US mostly did various attempts to meddle in everything former USSR counries did, usually against those countries' benefit and for Americans' one.
Not that Cold War actually ended considering how US propaganda continues badmouthing Russia, nuclear weapons still where they were, and Western Europe is littered with US military bases.
Probably the most dangerous idea in the world is one that in every fight everyone should immediately surrender to the opponent that looks stronger. It turns every activity into an exercise in looking mean.

Never use OOP language as the first programming language that the student learns.

It wouldn't. All computers have a password-reset procedure that usually involves shortening two pins.

I have moved from Russia almost 9 years ago, and every time I see a construction site here one thought appears in my mind:
Why are they building everything from a cardboard?
Now I live in a relatively old concrete building, but it still has way too much of dry wall in it for my taste.
It's still amusing to see a paper company logo on the office paper and know that the same logo is painted over on the office walls.
GTA3+ levels would be even better!
You mean, you can't just play it in a real NYC? ;-)

1. K&R, The C Programming Language, 2nd ed.
2. R. Stevens, Unix Network Programming, 2nd ed.
After that one should decide what to choose. If it's C++:
B. Stroustrup, The C++ Programming language
After that people usually can find their way around books on their own.
