.Net 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 all share the exact same runtime - 2.0.50727. The additions in.Net 3.0 and 3.5 are either just parts of the Framework, or updates that the compilers handle so it still runs on the same runtime.
From what I've seen, the only people using Google are kids who don't know that it is not the email service but rather they, the email user, that is the product. A product Google sells to advertisters, marketers, etc.
I don't know where you get that impression from, but its completely wrong - I know full well that I am the 'product', and I don't care.
As an attraction, there are only 5 of these British Airways aircraft in the world (in fact the comment was made that a B.A. crew who toured the facility had never been on the Concorde before) so to have this here in Barbados can only be a positive for our tourism product.
There are actually 7 BA Concordes (G-BOAA to G-BOAG) and 7 Air France Concordes (F-BTSC, F-BVFA to F-BVFD, F-BTSD and F-BVFF). There are also 6 development aircraft. All BA Concordes are on show, and 5 of the seven AF Concordes are on show (one is in storage, and one crashed).
Considering that BAs fleet consists of over two hundred aircraft, and Concorde was considered 'pick of the crop', its not really surprising that a particular BA crew had never been on her.
Wrong dimension - Concorde did expand, but lengthways (not to say it didnt expand widthways, it just didn't do it noticably).
The flight engineers cap story is real - during the last flight of each Concorde at their retirement, each flight engineer placed his cap in the space between their console and the rear compartment bulkhead. The caps can be seen to this day, stuck there.
Quite simply, it gives you an extra point at which traffic is checked - basically, the traffic should never hit the actual backend server without being given the OK by the border gateway, so by that time it should be free of exploit attempts, the files/emails should be scanned etc. Think of it as your doorman bouncer to a very very exclusive club.
As an aside, your internal client network should also be separated from the backend server farm in exactly the same manner - pretty much the *only* LAN you trust is the private one the servers are sat on. But don't trust that one too much, have IDS running on it all the time.
Again, you aren't thinking like a proper IT security professional - there is no reason for the DMZ border gateway to open its legs as soon as it knows who you are, that action just invites issues as you have noted. As I said, you don't trust the other end of the VPN, and you don't trust any traffic coming from it - even if its identified itself.
The DMZ border gateway is application layer aware (it can proxy for multiple services behind it, rather than simply either routing requests or passing requests back). It sanitises all traffic to and from the VPN - if theres no reason for a VPN client to be doing something (scanning all your ports, sending out traffic to any machine other than a server for example) then theres no reason to actually allow it.
Nothing I have said takes much to implement, and its not overkill either - its just good practice.
The VPN puts people into a DMZ for precisely this reason, and then you have to authenticate with the DMZ border gateway (firewall in other words) for any access to backend resources. Never, ever, should a VPN put you directly onto the trusted LAN - you don't ever trust the other end of the VPN, the 'dumb' office worker may have a virus infested home network.
Actually, the Proton would still be cheaper - it just wouldn't launch 'only' 165kg, it would launch a package of satellites that together add up to near 21,600kg. Most heavy launchers go up with ballast as part of the payload, because it has to be a specific weight - if your payload is compatible, you can buy this weight for a lot less than a custom launch would cost you.
Yeah, like theres never been a press report of a major event that hasn't gone out accidentally before time? Like, say, the BBC News report of Building 7 collapsing several minutes before it actually did.....
Ahhh, '-1, Troll'. I seem to have hit a Slashdot nerve - I guess someone just doesn't like the basic truth. Get it through your heads - we are not supporting your hacked software for you, you chose that route so you can live with it. Maybe JaS will support you...
Watch this post hit the bottom so fast you could probably hear it break the sound barrier. But then, I'm really past caring about having to placate the Slashdot mindset, I'd rather share my actual experience rather than some utopian fantasy that some members seem to live in.
The vast majority of hackintoshes use pirated software, its a fact. One you may not like, but thats OK. Those of us who actually paid for the software don't want to spend *our* free time on IRC supporting you and your poor choices.
I'm a douche for not supporting a proven unreliable setup? Get real - unless you are running a *very* small subset of hardware, you are going to be installing one of the dozen or so different hacked OSX torrent releases. Oh, and not one single hackintosh user that I have come across in #MacOSX has ever said they are using a boxed copy of the software, the same names always come up - Maxxus, JaS etc etc.
If they want to try it out, then they can buy a second hand Mac - the same as the rest of us had to.
Oh, and your lack of information is showing - there are plenty of brand new Macs on the market for much less than $3000.
Basically, yes - case law defines a significant portion of most countries laws through interpretation of the letter of the law, or defining new areas that current law is vague about. Contract law, which EULAs fall under, covers such a vast and open field that there could never be detailed, specific laws to cover every eventuality - that very rarely happens even in extremely well defined areas of law.
Click through EULAs have been deemed to be unenforcable.
Common fallacy here on Slashdot - EULAs in general have not been found to be unenforcable. Certain terms of certain EULAs have been, and some jurisdictions place some restrictions on them, but there has been no general, catch all legal ruling on the concept of EULAs in general.
You seem to be fixating on 'time sensitive bandwidth' and trying to correlate from that that Comcast are selectively degrading video - they aren't, they don't give two shits about whether the stream is time sensitive or not, hence they aren't being selective.
If you are really afraid you might be affected, use a larger buffer in your client.
This new policy selectively degrades high quality streaming video.
No it doesn't - the very heart of your complaint is that the policy doesn't degrade streaming video selectively. It doesn't treat streaming video selectively at all.
Out of interest, who would you go to for DNS glue records? Acting as primary domain servers for domains isn't as easy as setting up named/powerdns and plugging those records into your registrars 'Domain Servers' fields - you need DNS glue from someone above you in order for those DNS servers to be valid.
Or has stuff changed since I last did this a few years back?
The problem is, affordable documentation can never make up for experience. In order for there to be useful transfer between NASA and the general public, there would need to be a boat load of extra documentation written by the entities doing the development. We aren't just talking technical documentation here, or blueprints etc, we are talking proper development documentation - eg 'we tried this but disregarded it because of this, we also tried this and it didn't work because of this'. That would raise the developmental cost significantly, and no one is willing to pay for that.
This is why I often roll my eyes whenever someone says 'but they are making all the same mistakes NASA made - NASA has done this before, why aren't they benefiting from their experience?' Experience walks out the door when someone retires, and most of the people on the Apollo program are dead, let alone retired. There's no way you can get that experience back, documenting it isn't cost effective at the time (regardless of how cost effective it may be in 50 years).
Free speech comes with it a responsibility to use it responsibly - there are plenty of current laws that you can fall foul of by using some forms of speech (ever tried threatening someone? Ever tried threatening the President? Should threats be above reproach? How about false advertising?), some of which I disagree with, some I do not. But the responsibility always exists.
I have *never* had the 'never' option ungreyed-out. Every Firefox install I have ever done seems to silently default to 'download new updates and force user to either install now or on next application start'.

This ruling does suggest that the court considers the EULA in this case to be.

Theres a world of difference between knowing who did something, and having enough proof to be able to arrest them, charge them and convict them.

Doesn't mean freedom from consequence - its called responsibility.
