"At the end of the day, we can learn from what's happening in Japan and build even better reactors. What can be done about the despots ruling oil rich countries?"
Without a doubt. The Toshiba reactor is the same or related to one written about in a fairly recent issue of National Geographic (within last 12 months.) There was another type int that article as well, and both had different benefits, wish I could drag up a link or two. Point is, these technologies, old and new, are built to run for a long time. So what happens is, before older reactors fail we have come up with so many better designs. Time marches on, technology improves. But, suppliers of power aren't going to EOL plants prematurely unless there is significant monetary gain, or as in this case, there is no better choice.
"If you want the bare drive, you can pre-order it here:
If you want it in the special packaging that doubles as a USB harddrive enclosure, you can get it here: "
Are these the same drives? If so, why would one pay $265.xx for the bare drive vs 159.xx for the drive and an enclosure to boot? Plus have to wait for it..... I realize that different vendors will have different pricing but it's a pretty major difference if they are in fact the same drive.
"What about just having the drones based on land, flying around high-risk areas (possibly only when an alarm is raised), and when someone is found in the water, we send out a helicopter? I don't know about the economics, but my guess is that the drone fleet is reasonable enough in comparison to having a load of helicopters sent out each time a mayday is heard."
If a mayday is sent out (and for this argument let's assume it's legit, I don't know how many are sent that aren't.) There may not be time for drones to report back and then dispatch helicopters. Perhaps someone from the USCG or similar agency can add to this....
"If you don't have anything to hide, why buy curtains?"
Exactly. Those with curtains must surely be cretins quite capable of crime. Their criminality must be curtailed. Time for the big scanners, where curtains would be no protection. Don't have it today? Don't worry, it will be here sometime. All this talk should surely be nonsense, but give it a bit of time. There are those who would much prefer it. (Yes, yes, of course: "Peeping Toms" would love it ) But total transparency really means the gov't should be able to see what you're doing, not that you should know what they're doing.
For some reason I was under the impression that this had already occurred but is just now being aired. And IIRC, it was already known that Watson won. So why is this news? Or, I'm a precog and should have made some money on this:)
"it's probably because the credible alternatives, being a little guys, get discredited through illegal (but not to the PTB) acts the inute they come on the radar."
Wow, that was about as hard to read as the translation to english linked to in the summary:) No offense meant, j/k.
"but walks one through the process, even suggesting sins you may wish to confess."
If one makes it through life in the Catholic Church to the point where they have an iPad or iWhatever they don't need an app to tell give them suggestions for confessions. Trust me, they'd know.:) I'm sure many would be happy if just telling them to their app was good enough to save a trip to the box.
The Fortigate looks good at first blush (haven't used one personally.) I've become rather not fond of AVG, I got more support calls from family who I used to recommend AVG to, related to AVG, than anything else. Mostly, the update nagging and seemingly absolutely immediately required upgrades to the latest, greatest version. That plus every time I used to instruct them on how to download it they were always tripped up by all the BS that came along with the download page. Really unobtrusive free download off to the side or the much larger, screaming in your face button which of course was either the non-free version or some other unneeded security product. That plus very recently AVG missed something on a family member's system and I had to do the clean up. It was MS Security Essentials from then on. Still, doesn't work from a licensing perspective in a business with greater than 10 systems. Still looking.....
"Choose the more obscure questions that only you and your family know the answers to."
Or better yet, use an answer that is totally unrelated to any of the security questions. If one of the security questions is: "what high school did you attend?" a good answer would be aZ333addkwe467. Just need to keep track of it like you do your passwords. These things are usually only used when you forget your password, or as in this case, someone is trying to gain access to your account. Since you rarely would need to know the answer I don't think there would be too much hassle is saving them in a safe place (not on your computer) and should you need the answer you'll have it. Meanwhile everyone else is typing in "James Monroe" because that is what is on your Facebook page. Note: I don't even use Facebook and I don't put personal information like that on websites. My wife, who is much younger, does like Facebook but she knows not to enter personal info such as "hey, going on vacation for two weeks tomorrow" or other personal info like that either. Further, she is not allowed to post anything about me, anywhere. Paranoia? Might have been thought so at one point but I think another article today speaks of Facebook making personal info available to developers. If they can get it, anyone can.
First, I think you took my part about access a bit too literally. Of course files should be scanned upon first encounter. Second, if files get on a system with a new exploit that hasn't hit the virus def file yet, I'd rather it get caught at some point, and in the real time protection scenario it will be picked up on access if it's not caught sooner (provided the virus defs have been updated to pick it up.)
Lastly, no need for swearing and all those caps. One can make a point without doing so and polite discourse if my preferred mode of communication. Of course, it takes all types and the net certainly makes it easy to do as you please. One does not stay a member of most forums on the net without a thick skin though so have your say:)
I assume you're using it to scan files on a predetermined schedule? If so, obviously you would not be able to comment on real time protection (upon file access.) I take it you're satisfied though with the scanning and detection abilities. Please correct me if I'm wrong. This (CLAMAV for Windows) piques my curiosity though as currently I use, and some of my clients as well, MS Security Essentials. This is ok in a business environment with 10 or fewer computers but some of my clients, who can't afford at the moment anything else, need something free they can run on their workstations. A server/client based solution is not an option. No Exchange or web server in-house and the server is never used for web access or anything else on-line other than MS updates and our firewall is pretty good. It will be interesting to see how this pans out. I really need a free solution for workstations only in a corporate setting.
"after the Presidential Commission said blame for the disaster should be shared with service contractors and government regulators."
I say "our" because the government represents us all, or should anyways, that's a subject for a different debate. I'm sorry, we don't share in their profits, we should not be responsible for their mistakes. In my opinion, regulation is desired in cases such as this, but not to share blame, only as an additional protective measure. Yes, we may have failed at that (don't get me going on the bullshit that went on previously with the regulators and oil industry, nor the complete lack of review of the plan should a disaster happen, haven't seen any sea lions lately down here in the Gulf area) but the responsibility for safety rests squarely on those that are conducting the drilling and reaping the profits. Well, at least they would have if they had not screwed up so royally.
I will agree with you on the above, even if that seems to negate my original post. However, recognition that linking is not publishing is a crucial defense to all the stuff that would follow if it were decided otherwise. The RIAA, MIAA, etc. would only be the tip of the iceberg with respect to what could happen. I do believe the Rupert Murdochs of the world would jump all over it, and if I recall, have already made the argument. I just don't think we should be short sighted by only considering the entertainment industries. There will be plenty of other vultures flying should linking ever be considered the same as publishing.
Well if you run a company called "PoachAssist - The Best Spot to Find Animals you Want to Poach" then I'd say you can at least be hit for aiding and abetting
I'm sorry, I think you are in the wrong thread. Your statement may be considered on-topic in a thread related to sites that post torrent links, not that I would agree with your position, but your statement above is not germane to the topic at hand.
Have you ever been to the memorial to those that lost their life in Vietnam, located in Washington DC? What I refer to as "The Wall". No winning there. I remember watching the news videos of the last remaining people being pulled from the U.S. Compount in Saigon by helicopter. Not much winning there either.....
Used to be that the choice for me was a financial one in that I could achieve the same processing power on the high end but did I want to pay more for the Intel name. Actually, for awhile, I considered AMD the best choice and recommended it to many and chose it for myself. Now though, I want the performance edge that Intel has. And I'll pay more for it. Of course, the balance between the two sway back and forth and right now Intel is on top. Maybe not tomorrow....
the best way for Mozilla to fulfill its mission is precisely to limit the openness of the web. At least a bit. Why? Because end-users aren't the only ones with rights and needs online
Sometimes I think: fine. All the commercial entities can take the net and turn it into nothing but a big shopping mall with everyone's computer being nothing but a terminal with which they can deposit cash into somebody's pocket. Except for me, and others like me who understand what it was like to a run Fidonet node. For the hell of it, and for free. And I'm sure there's plenty of younger folks who just get tired of this stuff as well. Hell, I'm sure they could do it better than we did back in the day......
Games should be released DRM free, publishers should be free to utilize what means have been approved to protect their work. At least that's how it would work in my perfect world....
I'd judge a sequel to Redneck Rampage by the music, rather than the game. Some really good stuff on that CD. I lost it and bought it from Good Old Games just go get the music back.
The data you reference shows 59%. However, 51% or 59% it doesn't really matter. What is important is the trend shown. IE is consistently losing market share over time. Were they climbing up the ladder that would be one thing. They're not. This doesn't say anything about whether or not they "cheated", only that your claim that their market share is so high why would they bother to cheat doesn't make much sense, to me.

Man, that's too much trouble. Want the surefire way to avoid viruses, rootkits, malware, etc.? Simple: don't plug the damn thing in!
As long as there are people, there will be such things. Or, if you prefer, as long as there are computers.

Nobody is going to do anything. Look at the crap that went on taking down domains for the benefit of "rights holders". Money talks, bullshit walks.
