What I meant by safety net is nothing to do w/ the gov't spying on the citizens. I mean we need heightened security at borders, better ways to stop form frauds like passports and what not. Not spying. Never is spying on the people of your country ever Okay, even if in the name of National Security. And that phrase, "in the of NS", has been used for so many things that it's become even less believable and used more for a free pass card.
Right now I'm a machine operator @ Sealy components. It's a mechanical job. Yes I'm a geek, but I like mechanics too. There's 2 things a people will always have (relative speaking, let's not nit pick here): an automobile and computer.
Also, no matter how automated a plant may get, there still needs to be a person to fix the machine when it breaks.
Okay so my point is to always have a back up plan to fall on. You have more interests, I'm sure, than just computers. Capitalize on them. Wheather it be mechanics or landscaping or whate have you.
In the last James Bond movie to feature Q: "Never let them see you bleed, and always have an escape plan."
What we need is an itelligent judge that isn't afraid to intepret the law and who will stand up for the American citizens of this country. I don't deny that we're in a time where we need some kind of safety net, but we don't need to give our liberties. If this all keeps going on the way it has been, the terrorists the gov't is seeking so hard to stop will win by splitting America apart.
In its motion seeking intervention, posted on the court's Web site, the government said the interests of the parties in the lawsuit "may well be in the disclosure of state secrets" in their effort to present their claims or defenses... A hearing is scheduled for June 21 before federal Judge Vaughn Walker."
If I interpre this right...they want the case dismissed because it will discose state secrets? So it's okay to violate civil liberties and then get away with it because to defend it would hinder state security? Well what about my security? Hell what about my RIGHTS? Next to make a phone call you'll have to requisition phone time giving information like: number you're calling, receiving party, topic conversation.
Only in America, the land of the free, can the government illegally spy on your phone calls, internet activity, and reading habits, and get away with it. Hell according to some poll, American citizens are OK with it. In my eyes it's treason what the gov't is doing. If this is the land of the free then why do I have to worry about what I'm saying on the phone when I'm talking to my friend about buying a firearm? Just the phrase "Let's go shooting today" can get me on a red list? Please.
To heat and power a house, sure. But to power a vehicle? I'm not sure. Wouldn't that require a lot of energy collecting to get to a decent speed or produce power? I understand that the sun is out for a while so It's an almost constant power sour ce.
Maybe for a tram system where the power can go to both the engine and the track?
That has great potential to do something..........then they get it backwards.
Inform the gov't....why? It's the citizens put at risk when this happens. I want to know about it dammit. That's my information they lost.
Furthermore, it allows federal law enforcement agencies to prevent companies from voluntarily disclosing information about breaches to the public, even if the companies are required to do so by state laws. What? Backwards I tell you.
Don't mind my ranting demeanor. I've been on an ant-gov't rant since I listened to Michael Savage earlier.
Hey now, I have friends that *do* have imaginary friends
But I agree that in public it's disconcerting if not just plane rude. My original post was meant to not be in public. I have no problem having my cell phone glued to my ear walking down the sidewalk. I was making a point to the fact in a work enviroment comfort and durbaility is key.
I don't see to many headsets in public. Where it's relly important would be on docks or warehouses where you need to be able to talk in loud or echoing work places. There, does stylish really matter? I'd be more concerned on how much it hurts my ear after 12 hours a day. It also matters if you use while driving, since states a mandating hands-free kits.
But you could pick up a copy of solaris or linux and it would be relatively easy to figure out what to secure and how to secure. If you know about security, then you know how to find about security. Just because it has differences doesn't mean it's dissimilar.
If you want to type something, make them have to type "yes" or "no" to continue.
Not just "y" or "n" but "yes" or "no".
It's the same thing, and better than entering "banannas". And no I'm not being a jerk, I got what you meant. I was just adding something real world to it:)
and overcoming the challenge of users not reading dialog boxes,
That's true. So true. Tons of times I just clicked yes without reading or reading fully and then later on down the road...oops.
I updated outlook express for my mom the one time and it autmatically blocked attachments, confusing her. And me, until I found where to uncheck that.
The computer can be taught to enforce security policies that the users themselves are unlikely to uphold, given their propensity to ignore advisories and software dialog boxes. Software engineers must build in security that is active by default, and they must understand the user so that security tools are actually used.
But also keep in mind who the user will be. Some advanced users would probaly not need/want the security by default. New users or non-advanced ones would need it. We would need to find security to be adaptable.
In a comical way maybe the system can say "well you hosed/etc once, do you wanna do it again?"
This is good sue of NASA money if any of the projects get implemented or even if some ideas from the projects get implemented.
It's good that NASA is looking outside their walls for ideas too. Their are lots of brilliant people out there. It's time we tap into that. Space travel is obviously dangerous and tricky business. Anything that makes it safer and and easier, even if it's just one thing, is worth them money. Spend the 2.5 mil and get some ideas for a new ship? Doesn't sound bad.
If HR still doesn't like it (especially if where you work is an 'At Will' employment place), then I would politely inform them that- if they are worried about you leaving then they should consider negotiating a contract for your exclusive employement, and if you are able to find mutually acceptable terms, then you will remove your resume.
If you're gonna negotiate like that, you better make sure that you mind your p's and q's. Don't take long lunches, don't come in late, DO stay longer to get projects done, bust your ass, make sure you can prove you're a valuable asset. It's never good, IMO, to give an employer an ultamatem, unless you're on your way out or you have done a good enough job to win.

oops. I must have read over the summary a little to fast. Sorry.

Well it's a gaming console. If you were to buy a gaming pc, it'd cost about that much too..
Hardware isn't free.
And men with beards? What do they want?

Xandros and Suse both had torrent downloads.. I'm sure others do to but I only got those.
Is this the offspring of Data and Tasha Yar?
What reason? To cause havoc @ Best Buy and have them lose customers because of what looks like incompetent workers? Seems wrong to me.
