There is nothing about the First Amendment protecting *anonymous* speech.
You're certainly entitled to that opinion. The SCOTUS disagrees however, and their opinion carries a little more weight.
I'm pretty sure Thomas Jefferson would deliver the back of his hand to any punk trying to hide behind the First Amendment to bully a child anonymously.
Yeah, and I'm pretty sure Thomas Jefferson owned slaves too, so he's not exactly a role model for moral certainty, even ignoring your ridiculous effort to lend weight to your argument by attributing your beliefs to a historical figure. And if posting an offhanded snarky comment is bullying, then God help us all.
IIRC, you can also modify any unsigned files, such as the textures and generally any data that's not in the executable. Creating transparent walls seems to be a popular mod, albeit a lame one.
Keep trying to force your business model on people, you'll go under.
Yeah, just like the cable companies, Microsoft, Apple with it's iPhone, etc...
You use the term "people" like they're some single object that all wants the same thing. As long as *some* people want the product, and revenue exceeds costs, then *any* company can remain solvent, regardless of how you personally feel about it.
Do you and all of your child posters have some sort of reading disorder?
First of all, to mock something up essentially means to create a prototype of it, functioning or not. It could be a template with Lorem Ipsum filled in.. the point isn't necessarily to present accurate data; it's to see if they'd be interested in such data in the first place.
Second, to all the idiots who replied to this buffoon, the last sentence of his post was "It won't [work]." He's not actually advocating that you submit flawed data, he's just someone who doesn't understand English.
That's a pretty bold claim, and I'm not inclined to believe it. As long as there are people willing to try, there will be some who succeed. I'm not saying we need more security, rather that no amount of security will ever make us 100% secure, and what we have today provides enough of a benefit that the odds of being victimized by a terrorist plot are minuscule.
Right. The irony of hollowpoints is that they are a safer bullet, in that they're unlikely to pass through the target and cause collateral damage. Yes, they do massive trauma to the target, but you shouldn't be shooting someone you don't intend to kill, so it's a moot point. Expanding projectiles are the opposite of what you want for deep penetration of any sort, including armor.
What intrigues me is the fact that cable co's are trusting END USER EQUIPMENT to enforce limits that should be imposed at their own network ingress.
They don't really trust the equipment, in that most providers monitor for traffic in excess of the subscribed tier. Unless your ISP is an utterly clueless regional provider, you will most likely get caught if you uncap your modem, and you will most likely lose your service as a result.
The real problem is spoofing your neighbor's MAC address, where you get free service until he gets disconnected for violating the TOS, and it's a major flaw in DOCSIS 2.0 and below. It has, however, been largely resolved in DOCSIS 3.0 by encrypting communications between the subscriber (modem) and the headend (CMTS). Resolved, at least, unless and until a vulnerability is found.
Unfortunately, DOCSIS 3.0 hasn't yet been deployed in all (most?) areas, and in even those areas where it exists, the CMTS may be configured for backward compatibility with earlier standards.
Point oh-eight what? They measure to 3 decimal places... If you were 0.080, then honestly, you were just lucky you didn't blow one 1/1000th of a percent higher, as you undoubtedly would had you been tested just a few minutes earlier. (Unless you were *literally* drinking and driving and hit peak volume after getting stopped instead of before).
I don't know anyone who's ever killed themselves or anyone else, but I do know plenty of people who've gotten DUIs -- myself included, and most of them just keep pushing their luck. I'm not going to lecture about the risk to others, but the risk to self should be motivation enough. DUI doesn't make you a rebel or a hero, it makes you a fool. Nobody wants to seem like a pussy, but on the contrary, you might be amazed how many people will actually respect you for your restraint (including yourself), no matter how much shit they give you at the time. More often than not, avoiding the wheel after drinking is more difficult than just hopping in the car, but in the big picture it's worth it.
Anyway, I don't mean to preach, but you know.. driving under the influence is just setting yourself up for failure. Glad you got a second chance, cause the penalties even for first time offenders really suck in most states.
I'd probably have more affection for Mr. Hodgman if he wasn't the vehicle of misinformation and straw-men arguments from Apple. Engaging in juvenile antics by equating nerds to Windows, and then decrying those very antics is a bit of the pot and kettle. Paid or not, he's essentially lending his credibility (or lack thereof) to Apple.
For those unfamiliar (anyone?), the Mac ad jokes are funny, but like the Australian toilet in the Simpsons, they're based in misconceptions. The difference is that Apple has a vested interest in furthering those misconceptions, aka deceptions. The Simpsons are not, to my knowledge, selling any high-end toilets that flush in a counter-clockwise direction.
Individual wealth is mostly a fluke. It doesn't correlate well with intelligence, education, or experience. About the only thing self-made wealthy individuals have in common is dedication and motivation, which makes sense because you can't win if you don't play (for values of play excluding tic-tac-toe, global thermonuclear war, and gambling), but there are plenty of people with those traits who *don't* become wealthy.
Ugh, Qwest. No CS after 6PM local time or on weekends, they wield control over 3-4 utilities if you let them, and they're quick to disconnect all of them within seven days after the due date. Oh, and you can't access your account online until after you receive your first bill. In our case, that meant that not receiving our first bill resulted in a disconnection within five weeks of having the services turned on. We called, explained, and were still charged a reconnect fee, which we paid. The *following* day we received the disconnect notice in the mail, which had been mailed two days prior (the day before disconnection).
In my opinion, lack of competition gives companies zero incentive to be concerned about customer service. I'm not saying they had any obligation to be flexible, cooperative, understanding, or a pleasure to do business with, but we also had no obligation to stay with them. So we didn't. Everyone should have the option to leave, but that's not possible without competition.
The Bill of Rights only guarantees the rights of the People against the Government. There are seperate laws covering what companies may and may not do (such as discriminating against protected groups during hiring or in providing service), but the right to be free from search is not one of them. It's perfectly within the rights of the property owner(s) to prevent the introduction of weapons or contraband, and arguably their responsibility to provide a safe environment as well. It's also good business to give customers an indication that there's a low risk of harm, and security is one part of that, along with hiring competent pilots, performing equipment maintenance and inspections, etc.
If the government ran its own airline, then yes, your points might hold some merit, but even then you'd have to demonstrate that searches were unreasonable, and you'd probably be up against significant public opinion to the contrary.
Apparently, in Microsoft parlance, 'exclusive partnership' means 'we launched it first' and not 'we inked a deal with Netflix preventing this feature from appearing on the competition's hardware.
Isn't that what exclusive usually means? It makes a statement about the present, not the future. Exclusive interviews, for example, are seldom exclusive for very long. iPhones are exclusive to AT&T (in the US, for now). Some vehicle has exclusive feature X, until next year when they all do. Etc., etc...
15-20MHz RF translates into 12-20 meters. At least that's what Google tells me when I divide c by 25MHz and 15MHz respectively, which corresponds well with the 15 meters of vertical resolution referenced in the SHARAD article you linked. Also according to the SHARAD article, "Subsurface features will have to be of the order of [15m] for them to be observable." It doesn't say anything about multiple orders. And 10m might be large on earth, but the moon-cave article, and even the summary, state that this tube is estimated to be 370m in diameter, so 15-25MHz should be acceptable, assuming that the radar can penetrate that far.
Alternatively, low density lunar regolith may be more transparent to RF radiation though, and thus a higher frequency might be used. I'm guessing they played it extremely safe in selecting the frequency for exploring Titan, with so many unknown variables, but we have quite a bit more information about the moon.
Just like it was *before* the internet? Local communities of BBSes where members actually met each other, interacted, and typically didn't use idle epithets, insults, and threats. User groups where people helped each other solve hardware and software issues, where you could get exposure to and experience with such hardware and software firsthand. Sneakernets, null-modem parties, *literal* social networking, actual burning of pizza and Mt. Dew calories by carrying around computers and setting up tables. OH THE HUMANITY!!!
