> you would have the confusion of going to the other side of the country and trying to figure out what time they go to work.
by that logic you should change the calenders in the southern hemisphere, so hard to figure out if I need my coat in July when going to chile, if it was December their instead I would know so much easier.
also assuming working hours were not cultural, you already need to figure that out. Working for a japanese company knowing the time difference helps little, since the people I deal with will start around 4am, and may be at their office for 16 hours their after.
> Except you'd be paying EA for the opportunity to let others download from you..
Since none of the game/movie/music producers seam to ever pass on any lowered delivery costs their is definitly validity to your argument. IE the switch from LP->8track->cassett->CD->download in music wasn't passed on. However movies progression Tape->LaserDisk->DVD seams to have decreased the price, and increased the quality.
now what if your download speed was also increased based on your share % so the more you shared the more likely you were to get the game first. oh wait thats already in the peer to peer protocol, go figure.
> Hilary makes Bush look like a libertarian. sounds like What I decided happend last time, was that the republicans with bush already had the most liberal person that could be elected, talks about family values, and supports all kinds of more legislation along those lines, and generally along the lines of more big goverement influence in all situations.
made it very difficult for the democrats, do they throw up a even more liberal canidate than bush (un-electable), or go conservitive. Since I was a conservative, I hoped for the later, instead they put up just as liberal canidate as the republicans.
> "Interception of a transmission not intended for you",
The FCC laws in the US have the same provision, once you have reason to believe you are listing to a conversation that was intended to be private, at that point if you continue to listen you are breaking the law.
I think this was mostly intended toward phone calls (cellular, and wireless handsets) but as you say could, and has been, interperted by some to include much more.
>>Violence against anyone is wrong, unless it's in self-defense. >It's wrong then, too
Guess you don't define morality by the bible either. >a thing is legal, that doesn't make it morally right. needed to add the oposite, just because a act is illegal doesn`t make it immoral.
actually it is not possible to always obey the law, their are many situations where contradicting laws make it impossible to not break one.
> Does Windows/Linux include what's on the CD, or just the kernel and drivers included directly in the kernel?
personally I would consider it whatever cannot be removed from the OS by a typical user. So USB default drivers would definity qualify. now msft is still responsible for many applications they install
now linux is just a kernal, not much usefullness if you uninstall to that, so a majority non-geeks have associated linux with all distibutions, and all GPL'd software that could be installed on it.
sure, they dock with the ISS, then send this shuttle to a watery solo death burn, and send up another shutle with the exact same vulenerabiltys, and bring them back, now what if 2nd is in worse shape than the first, and you now got 14 stranded instead of 8 (2 ISS inhabitants don't have enough food/oxygen to share with the 6 more, without quick re-supply.)
anyway getting the launches restarted is more risky, than once they get experience with the mods, but that can't be helped. personally, I think serious problems with the first launch would end very baddly, but with a new track record with the new configuration my skepticism will subside.
My personel opinion is that sunscreen is bad for "tanning" you should figure out how to regulate your sun exposure without the sunscreen when possible. I suspect you are far better off getting a tan from a 1/2 hour a day of sun without sunscreen than using SPF 30, and taking in 15 hours of sun. that said, I don't go to the water for tanning, I go for fun, so sunscreen is needed, if you can't cut the time, or get shade, instead of sunscreen.
> If you've got an identically-named WAP and you can overpower their WAP, they'll connect to yours instead.
hmm, I never let windows manage my wireless settings, but the linksys, 3com, cisco, and intel based drivers I have used, their defaults is to not allow associatian to mixed cells, IE this is only true with them, if you either dont have security turned on, or the computer knows the WEP key of the rogue AP.
I assumed this article meant they took a computer on the local network, and used it's WiFi to bridge onto the msft network from their external network, allowing them to bypass the corporate firewall.
My college residence had free (pre-paid un-metered) hot/cold water, then this could work as a low cost heater also. (electricity was metered, but the water heater was gas)
> What claim does Sony (or whoever) have on the DVD Decrypter source code?
Same claim as msft has for the original Internet Explorer code...
Sounds like Sony (or whoever) made a agreement with the author to take over controll of the code, and the author agreed, sounds like they clearly have the legal right to do with it as they want.
now their choosen method of getting controll of that code was dubious, in my opinion, but their is no dount in my mind they have 100% rights to that code now.
I am tempted to setup their Broadcast Machine on the company intranet, for the videos we share internally (I am at a remote location, with a T1 connection to the most viewers, who are all interconnected 100MB links)
My question is, with the now torrentless operation of azures, protecting just the torrent file on the intranet, does the video immediatly become world accessable with the first viewing by any client, even if that is inside our VPN (with internet access)
> Keyloggers do not work against you, because you are booting from known media. no bios hack required, just put the logger in the keyboard, but logging a usb mouse, without bios...
Add a cgi web keyboard, so you can type with mouse movements and clicks, if they can get to your keyboard app, they would have a hard time with just a key logger
simplier would be add a keyboard overlay, and a sed script on the sshd computer, wouldn't take long to decrypt, but at least a plain text keyword search of all download keyboards wouldn't trigger on your text.
several comments along this line, It is difficult to get and maintain H1-B visas required TO WORK in the U.S. I am confident it is much easier to get a tourist visa, to visit the US.
Also, I am game for this plan, wifi right into the CA internet access with some high gain antennas. Even if you had some jobs in CA from their, probably be much shorter commute from their boat to CA, than 90% of Californias living on land (well during calm seas...)
> As far as writing something that you KNOW is incorrect... ok, so you get a green line under text that you already know is a problem, but you don't intend to change. No big deal. Why is this an imposition?
my biggest complaint about this, (a bit off topic) is I don't use word, but I get complaints from people that open the word documents I create, and are completly red, and green underlined (likely for good reason)
would be nice if their was a way in the document to overide other peoples default grammer settings, when they open my documents for viewing.
Are you sure of this? Every US Bill has a unique serinal number, and these are tracked, to "conteract piracy" any dollar you spend probably goes how? from a ATM (ie bank) to a merchant, who takes all dollars left, back to the bank at the end of the day. It would be very easy to track down exactly where/who spent most dollars, and where. And unlike a credit card, which you can be used in your absence, it has to have a physical link from removal by ATM (bank account #, and video survalence) to the scene of your transaction.
as the others say, it is not the weight that has any effect on the lean angle, it is the height of the Center of gravity (bike and rider combined.)
I am sure the reason pro-riders slide off the side of the bikes so much in corners, is not to lower the Cg, but to get their weight as far seperated (inside) from the tire contact patch, to get maximum turn force from their weight.
I think your heavier comment has more to do with the weight of the tires, than the weight of the bike. A bike with more CC's is going to have bigger, heavier, wider tires in general, and thus build up a much greater momentum in the tires, it will take more time for this momentum to be overcome by the wind force (especially cross winds)
Finally someone who appreantly has really rode different weight bikes in corners, made a intelligent comment.
I have what would have to be considered a low Cg heavy bike (91 CBR1000) compared to all other bikes I ride, that are higher Cg bikes (also have couple other bikes), I have a much greater lean angle on this heavy low Cg bike. Exactly as you say, your turning force (assuming sufficient traction) is equal to the distance your mass is to the left or right of the tires in the corner, lower the weight the harder it is to get seperation.
So physics and my observations (and yours) agree. lean angle is less, on a higher Cg bike for the same cornering force (now a heaver bike needs more cornering force...) BUT it takes much more force to lean a higher Cg bike the same angle, so you really gotta tug on them handle bars at high speed to get a simular amount of lean, on say a touring bike.
At the other end of the spectrum, I have a Enduro motorcycle, same corner, same speed that I scrape my foot pegs on the CBR, this bike has relativly no lean. Then again, it ways aproximitly the same as me, and I set up much higher.
from my rideing various bikes, my guess would be the ratio of the cross section exposed to the wind and the momentum of the cycle. so if it has hefty wheels, at speed it would be fine (take more of a tug on the handle bars to get it turning...) however not much you can do if your setting at a crossroad, when a big wind hits you on a light bike.
I would add though, if you are looking at a specific employer, it could make a big difference.
my experience says: contacts made in school toward that contact to first employer are important. Check your schools graduation employment rate...
Your success after that point, is all about you and your attitudes. Quickly contacts made at each subsequent employer are much bigger, than from way back at school.
My first job, one of the influental guys interviewing me went to my college. it gave much more to talk about in the interview, etc. I don't know if they would have hired me anyways? probably, but it didn't hurt.
It has been a non-issue since I got experience, and perhaps more important to me because they had no idea what a Computer Enginneering degree was when I graduated, so when we could talk specific clasess...
Also of note, the job I work at now, 80% of the degrees are seam to be from the same college (different school than me.)
Their might be some merit here, get google to drop links/caches to websites that don't have personel anymore to respond to a occasional request to justify their content, sounds like a good precident if they don't already.
also I wonder if google images followes the same rules on robots.txt as regular google.
a quick search for the same site in google images, and google shows cached images from pages google doesn't otherwise cache. now I didn't then check for a robots.txt file to figure out why...

Pulled this plan straight from the NASA TV, so who's the dumb ass?
They don't have a soyz capsule available today at the ISS, future plan...

join the free calls to your home phone number, and just setup a asterisk server routing over skype/vonage/iaxtell/whatever.
