Because by the time the next conference happens, the US will have already shut its borders for anyone "suspect" of leaving the country to attend this conference, from attending.
That may not be the wisest of ideas:
"The largest part of the attendees of the trainings are US-Government related folks, mostly working on US National Security in some form. I have trained people from the DoD, DoE, DHS and most other agencies that come to mind."
How is this a technicality? He didn't have a visa to do the work here that he had contracted for. Neither did he have one the other times he did the exact same thing. Now either this is a technicality, or US customs is seriously SNAFU. Hey, he told them what he was going to do, and they waved him through each time until now?
If this is designed to stop thieves then it is a poor way of doing it since it is going to inconvenience legitimate purchasers. Basically a thief will steal the ipod and sell it to some sucker in the pub rather than keep it. Well, boo-hooh-hooh for all those suckers who keep buying stuff from some guy at a pub. What exactly gave them the idea buying stolen goods was a good idea even if you don't get caught?
A little off? When everyone was forecasting 500,000 to 1,000,000 phones sold - hell, jcr here was claiming that they would press release the millionth phone sold on the Tuesday, or by week's end, 140,000 is pretty spectacularly UNDERWHELMING. 270,000 sold actually, in 30 hours (sale start to end of quarter). That's sure a lot more than most people predicted before the "analysts" started to go nuts after sales started. http://www.contracostatimes.com/business/ci_628868 9
Currently with my treo i can type out a phone number by feel while driving, or type out a text with the phone in my pocket. Also the buttons give you a confirmation that you gave input, as you can feel the button go down. Without being able to feel a keyboard it seems like typing could be a pain.
Well, touchscreens have worked out well on Federation vessels and they hardly ever crashed into planets. And even that usually after the touchscreens exploded into somebody's face.
I've never thought of bicycles as a safety hazard (except for the bicyclist maybe) but they certainly are annoying.. especially going up a long hill. Gah. Motorcyclists say the same about cars.
"I want a few dedicated buttons for important functions like volume, power, and send/hang up"
The iPhone has dedicated buttons for volume and power.... and the send hang up buttons are big and large when you're using those functions that require them. Not to mention the "Ring/Silent switch" to change between ring and silent modes.
However, I want a few dedicated buttons for important functions like volume, power, and send/hang up. I take it you're not a big fan of dragging your call to the trash when you're done talking. That beats typing "rcphone hangup".
Steve Jobs is an idiot. That's why the things he develops are so popular among the technologically incompetent. AFAIK he hasn't developed much at all, so what is it he developed you like so much?
Yeah, they sure didn't understand the 700,000 (!) customers who bought the phone on the first weekend.
Too bad that number's made up because Apple hasn't released how many phones they sold in the first weekend. AT&T, however, just recently said that only activated 146,000 iPhones during it's first two days on sale. Apple has released how many iPhones they sold in June - 270,000.
A former Boeing computer expert said yesterday that the company ordered him
to play down his discovery of a software flaw in a critical control unit that
could have triggered last May's fatal crash of a Lauda Air Boeing 767. Darrell
Smith, a computer software engineer employed as a troubleshooter by Boeing in
1989 and 1990, said in an interview with the P-I that he warned the company
last year of problems with software that runs the "proximity switch electronics
unit" (PSEU) on Boeing's 747 and 767 jetliners.
Too many germs? The airports themselves are clean enough, and the planes are practically hospital rooms. Guess what's the most likely place to get a really nasty infection?
You didn't get the joke - but it's well known how humourless Mac users are - hence the threats to kill... So you admit you didn't get the joke - which proves you can't be a Mac user.
This, fellow slashdot readers is why you shouldn't be anti-mac on/. - I'm not surprised the worm author got death threats - look what I get for joking! So you didn't get the joke, and you confirmed you can't be taken seriously. But what else is new.
Slashdot: the place where death threats are funny! Correction: the place where death threats against malware authors are funny. Correction: the place where death threats from Mac users are funny.

In your world do all CCIEs know how to manage web servers because a cisco device can have a web interface? In my world, security researchers know to disable the web interface.
You're assuming he hosts his own blog and you know what they say about assuming. He may just be assuming that a security researcher would know not to pick a hosted blog that can be easily hijacked. But hey, "security researchers" come a dime a dozen.
KDE vs. GNOME?! Graphical user environments?! Kids these days! Back in my day, all we had was the good ol' fashioned vi vs. emacs argument, which I would like to point out to you is still going.
vi? The "visual" mode to a real editor? Whippersnapper.

Well, if you don't see the admission, that must be because you are not quite that intelligent.
So what does one qualify as being a security expert? Being a dick?

As opposed to the previous episodes, which were filled with actual aliens... Actually, only the peacekeepers were played by aliens.
