Here is what I don't get. One of Google's hippocratic values, 'Do no harm', was ignored at the start. They were capturing information on users searches and for what!? OK, I can understand that this info is helpful for the adsearch which is what pays the bills, but the adsearch program would only find this data useful for a limited amount of time. There is no need to keep and hold that data ad infinitum. Why not purge that data as it is old?
What drives me nuts as well are these "pop-ups" that occur during the television program usually promoting some other show on the same network. While watching LOST, you'll see a popup for ALIAS. Watching APPRENTICE you'll see ones for ER. What is worse they are getting bigger, longer and really suck when you are trying to read english translations/text at the bottom of the screen.
You are actually right on both accounts. The global warming is currently in full swing now, ice caps are melting at an alarming rate - hell the Inuit and other tribal groups in the Pacific Northwest are hurting cause their ice bridges to seal food is melting.
When the caps melt there is a larger amount of fresh water being distributed to the earth's oceans and seas, effectively reducing the concentration of salt. A drastic reduction in salt has been proven to effect the water temps, which effect current. ( See El Nino ) When the current are stopped, the hot earth now turns into a cold one, producing a relatively fast and quick ice age.
Hoep you got a pair of swimtrunks and that parka for Christmas.
Which then leads me to a couple questions. Do you think that Bush's push for continued exploration and work in space ( and Mars ) is completely altruistic? BS IMHO this is a cover for additional monies for the current and continued work of the $8.5 billion budgeted for US military space programs.
And considering that much of the civilized world as well as the US has its back up against the wall considering terrorism it only makes sense that EMP type stuff has been "happening".
"Stealing assumes a property right and there is no property right to a government document. . . . These documents are not covered under the Senate disclosure rule because they are not official business and, to the extent they were disclosed, they were disclosed inadvertently by negligent [Democratic] staff."
So essentially it is your fault for not securing your network and your computers. Isn' t there an implied sense of private property? If this is their argument you could argue the following....without recourse: a) walk into the republican party's offices and rummage through their file cabinets b) ask the republican office's secretary to leave, and then review all the emails on the computer c) we were wrong with the Watergate debocle.
What great stories. I must admit I have to tell you this story and I do, really I do, wish that it happened to me but it actually happened to a friend of mine that worked at a mid-size company that was being bought out by another.....
as it turns out Mike ( named changed to protect the smart and thoughtful ) worked for Company A, a mid-size software company in Massachusetts around Rt 128. Company B came along to buy out the company and as these things often do, often merge the redundant groups and provide a lot of layoffs. HR was gone, Marketing was gone, IT Staff usually trimmed but in this case it was rumored to be cut.
Like many in these situations, work is tough to get done as most time is relegated to discussing potential effects on the department and finding info from those in the know.
As the fateful day came the friendly and close development staff that worked together for a number of years recognized that they ran the company infrastructure, no bones about it, sole ownership of passwords, root passwords, etc, etc, etc.
Management from Company B approached the development staff as a whole and presented their offer. Nothing. They were to document their usernames and passwords, locations of code and document archives and file systems, gather their things, and leave. B***s*** as I would be too, my friend Mike proposed to his group over lunch to leave, and leave nothing, no passwords, no way to maintain the current network, no way to get in and chnage passwords, nothing.
This may sound vengeful but you must understand that no attempt was made to find a common ground or mediation by Company B, Company A made every effort to ease the blow of Company B's takeover including having HR offer helpful ways to find other jobs, write up resumes, set up healthy severance. Company B hindered if not cancelled all that.
Mike and his 4 friends put their trust in each other and held out at home waiting, waiting for that call. And then it came, asking all 5 to come in for a negotiation. Initially, the offer was to hire them back immediately, but smarts prevailed as Mike knew that once they walked back in, changed passwords as they were to be instructed, a pink slip would be shoved in their hand before they opened their first cold Coke ( thats fast ).
To make a long story short, 5 guys split one very very very healthy severance. They all suddenly went on vacation then started a new company. They are still friends to this day.
Is there a good book out there on this exact topic? I enjoyed 'Clouds to Code' and 'Design Patterns' and was hoping that there was a another book that delved into designing singular web projects ( with availability later on to pick off the shelf and change simply for new customer ) as well as integrating XML and SQL services.
If your chosen programming language can send commands over UDP, why not have the game hold the necessary maps and rules client side. When logging in, it can download and changes or mods from the last time. When sending commands and what not to the client, you could send just small packets of information that would then produce the map changes at the client.
This would support active real-time events over large client populations.
Why complain about the Treo? I got my 20 Gg MP3 player at http://www.archos.com/. It works fantastic.....I have 4 gigs of songs, more than I could ever need, as well as a backup of all my important files, like my resume!!!!!
A USB connector and cig-lighter power lets this thing go from work to car so I can listen to tunes on the ride home.
Has anyone else got this as well?
Three guys, a Canadian, Osama Bin Ladin and Uncle Sam are out walking
together one day. They come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it.
"I will give each of you each one wish, that's three wishes total," says
the Genie.
The Canadian says, "I am a farmer, my dad was a farmer, and my son
will also farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada."
With a blink of the Genie's eye, 'POOF' the land in Canada was
forever made fertile for farming.
Osama Bin Ladin was amazed, so he said, "I want a wall around
Afghanistan, so that no infidels, Jews or Americans can come into our
precious state."
Again, with a blink of the Genie's eye, 'POOF' there was a huge wall
around Afghanistan.
"Uncle Sam" (A former civil engineer), asks,
"I'm very curious. Please tell me more about this wall."
The Genie explains, "Well, it's about 15,000 feet high, 500 feet thick
and completely surrounds the country; nothing can get in or
out---virtually impenetrable."
"Uncle Sam" says, "Fill it with water."
Either that or when we do get OSL, give him a sex change operation and send him back a woman!

Relative of a friend reports of Gas Stations getting molitof cocktails in NYC!!!
Are there any terrorist websites that our fellow Arabic speaking/.ers can translate? I am interested in finding out if there are other news groups / sites that are discussing the aftermath or even claining responsibility.
I had heard there was a recent takeover by FBI of a website that harbored Middle Eastern News.
Also, through a close source, a friend whom flies on all bombing missions when her base command is called, left a message with her parents last night stating that "I am leaving for 2-3 days. I cannot tell you where I am going, but once you hear the news you'll know. "
Does the worm close off any subsequent attacks? I cannot see that it does. I have been looking at a few logs and see that both the anti-US hack as well as the SirCam hack can co-exist on the same server.
Is it possible to write a similar script that will a) re-write default.asp to a more friendly hack -- stating that the host is wide open and have re-set perms so that it cannot be hacked again? Basically deadbolt the door behind you?
There could be a new format of warfare out on the net, where the good worms are in a race against the bad. It seems though that it would definitley test the prowess of the best coders out there!!!

I thought this was familiar. There was a previous article I remember reading on /. that had similar events.
Keyless Entries Fail In Las Vegas On Friday
and

Which then leads me to a couple questions. Do you think that Bush's push for continued exploration and work in space ( and Mars ) is completely altruistic?
BS
IMHO this is a cover for additional monies for the current and continued work of the $8.5 billion budgeted for US military space programs.
And considering that much of the civilized world as well as the US has its back up against the wall considering terrorism it only makes sense that EMP type stuff has been "happening".
This is their argument...?
"Stealing assumes a property right and there is no property right to a government document. . . . These documents are not covered under the Senate disclosure rule because they are not official business and, to the extent they were disclosed, they were disclosed inadvertently by negligent [Democratic] staff."
So essentially it is your fault for not securing your network and your computers. Isn' t there an implied sense of private property? If this is their argument you could argue the following....without recourse:
a) walk into the republican party's offices and rummage through their file cabinets
b) ask the republican office's secretary to leave, and then review all the emails on the computer
c) we were wrong with the Watergate debocle.
I think it says "Mom, in a spinning class!"
