Unfortunately, Google pulled it from the play store, but an open app that uses standard sms and layers encryption basically eliminates the central authority to spy on everything. Use SMS. Encrypt it. Why bother trusting the centralized systems like Whatsapp. Of course they get your meta data, but how much can you really hide that anyway?
I find it interesting that there was a general consensus that the BREACH SSL attack had no simple fix because the Internet could not handle the load if everyone turned off gzip HTML compression. While acknoewleding that bandwidth and computation resources are different, I am surprised that a simple fix for BREACH was dismissed, yet hoards of resources are being thrown at transport encryption.
So they could have discovered a process that produces a lot of whatever the instruments measure...something other than temperature that causes strong emissions. Still something pretty cool if that's the case.
I have hope for the future. If Google manages to trump Microsoft as the defacto standard application provider, I think we will see less focus on the OS. Web apps and standards-based software architectures could lead to a day when the underlying OS and architecture is not important. This is already the case for most POSIX-based stuff.
National Access is included in the America's Choice plans >=$39.95. 60-80kbps is a bit slow, but it's usually better than dialup except for the latency. No extra fees; just google around a bit.
I read in a tour book recently that disney sees more like 20,000-80,000 visitors in one day. 80,000 is during the peak Christmas time, 60,000 is common for peak summer time, and 20,000 is in the off season.
The theory is that people that do not have a job and have reached the end of unemployment benefits should not count as unemployed. They should not count because they are in a class of people that either will not accept the jobs that are available or have no useful skills for the current market. Either way, they are not counted in unemployment because unemployment is more a measure of people that are likely to be useful in the workforce and are willing to fill a present economic need.
This is great for those in Chicago where cold water from the tap is free. Maybe our taxes go to pay for the water, but at least each house is not individually billed. Just hook a water pipe up and let the city pressure do the work.
Indonesia had to buy computers, too. I still think it is obviously a different market. $1 in Indonesia is probably pretty reasonable for Windows. Too bad it sounds like future licenses will cost more.
Limiting hyperthreading to single processes is a good idea anyway. Since the multiple threading units share the same cache, you'll get better cache coherency by doing this.
This is clever, but I don't think that winmodems existed in the early days of IRC. I don't think that many early IRC users even ran Windows (what was it, 3.1?).
Even old phones without a proper service provider can usually pick up on an analog network and call the operator (dial 0) to make collect and emergency calls. Give it a try if you're curious.
The obvious solution, then, is to embed RFID tags in all people who are born in or enter the US. Then, they cannot work around some 'paper' ID system. Too bad we don't have faster methods of scanning DNA. Maybe the tags could be embedded in the heart or somewhere else that would not be removable. A security mechanism could also make it disable itself if removed or upon death.
Sounds like poor customer service. Your approach assumes that you need their product. If the demand is so high that customers will buy multiple copies, then they really don't need to treat their customers well. Otherwise, Valve needs to consider that they could push their customers too far.
Joe AOL is not going to notice the performance difference. He may care about the name and speed rating, but will probably not be running any benchmarks.
I think this product idea is not very good, but why USB? I understand that everyone has USB, but it would be more likely to be used if it used something like bluetooth. They should give out bluetooth USB transmitters and have the age devices use bluetooth to recognize when a minor is near the computer. That way, parents can browse any sites they want. Just make the computer switch to something else when the kid gets in range. Also, when people realize that this is stupid, they at least got a USB bluetooth transmitter out of the deal.
Better yet, give your spouse/SO one of these. When they get within range, the browser changes to something they would be impressed with you for doing.
Well, it knows where you are, so can determine what road you are on. Match this with traffic data for major roads and weather reports for the area and they certainly can determine quite a lot.
That's not a couple billion dollars in the hole, it's a couple billion dollars put into circulation. Spending money like this fuels the economy. Sure, it might be a waste of resources, but it makes the GDP go up. I do not say that our economic models correctly represent reality, but they are what people measure the economy by.
Most media formats (including MP3) have copyright related fields. Perhaps the creator of the MP3 should be responsible to set these fields appropriately or face penalty. It's really impractical to trace the source of a media file, though.
There is a nice description of using the P code in the March 2003 NASA Tech Briefs. There is a link to the article on this page and this direct link. Free registration required.
The method described does some signal conversion to extract useful information from the P code even when the A code (encryption) is not known. It uses an approximation of the A code and summing over time to extract useful information.

3u Telecom is also a great service for mobile-only international calling. here

What about the loss in GDP due to decreased sales of penis enhancers, breast enlargements, and on-line pharmacies?

How about designing a bot to play Nethack until it ascends.
