On the other hand, visit a normal Chinese school where they go to the bathroom in plastic pails and see the forbidden city in the winter when you can't even see a mile because the gray haze from all the coal they burn is so thick.
Remember, Chinese tourism is state run. They MIGHT. Just MIGHT. Be showing you what they want you to see.
The Aeon Flux in the theater is a good science fiction movie. The plot is unique and interesting. The problem with the movie is simply that it is not Aeon Flux. Aeon Flux is independent, cold, and calculating. She has a professional admiration for trevor but their relationship is in no way emotional. Second, Trevor is a bad guy.
In the movie aeon is emotionally fragile. Aeon needs a team to cover her. Aeon is having a very caring relationship with trevor who is really a good guy.
Aeon flux the movie is good as far as Sci-fi movies go. It's just not Aeon Flux.
I have to agree. First, no-one is going to buy a portable system from a no-name in the business. And unless you are nintendo, you are STILL going to have to put a LOT of money into it.
Second, nintendo is simply better suited for the area. The screens are smaller, the buttons are less, and the graphics will always simply be worse. Portable game systems live and die on their gameplay. And nintendo is the only console developer who's games live and die on their playability rather than their graphics or realism. (Not to say developers such as Squarsoft don't make games that do as much.)
A phone company will basically have to enlist a company, most likely nintendo, to develop the hardware, co-develop the OS, and develop the games. And the phone capability will likely have to take a back seat. My guess is it will need to have bluetooth and a bluetooth headset to avoid shoe-horning a game system into a phone form factor or holding something painfully aquard to your head.
Saying "people are maliciously exploiting our technology is great because it means we have technology!! is not addiquate logic unless just having technology was your only goal."
I take a different view on this. Attackers started with the easiest, most common target(s) and are just moving down the list. The OS is the most widespread type of software easily attackable but the ease of attack has decreased to the point where it is greater payoff to attack the next software on the list. At which point they will spend a few years cleaning up and the attacks will keep moving.
What worries me is the ability of attackers to do real-time attacks on a service. To hit a system that they know very little about and create zero-days in near real time. That is where things really become dangerious because attackers can then, once a target is chosen, attack the very uncommon software on it and still have reasonable payoff.
Do you think that the people in China don't agree to a legally equivalent EULA? Additionally did you read my caveat about the legal strength of the ToS?
A. You may establish one (1) user acount (the "Account") with which to play World of Warcraft by accessing the Service pursuant to the terms, conditions and restrictions contained in the Agreement. In order to establish an Account, you must be a 'Natural Person,' who is the age of majority in the country where you are a citizen. Corporations, Limited Liability Companies, partnerships, or any other form of legal entity other than that of a "natural person" may not establish an account, and by accepting this Agreement, you hereby represent and warrant that you meet these eligibility requirements. You may not share the Account with anyone except that if you are a parent or guardian, you may permit one (1) minor child to use the Account when not in use by you. You are liable for all uses of the Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, you acknowledge and agree that you shall have no ownershiup or other property interest in the Account, and you further acknowledge and agree that all rights in and to the Account are and shall forever be owned by Blizzard Entertainment.
While the legality of such an agreement is obviously questionable, the agreement seems to put liability squarely on the parent who registered the account.
(If you want to read some other crazy stuff. Read the entire ToS. Its damn scary. I wouldn't be supprised if they showed up wanting my first born.)

Having watched the video from the seeker on a Hit to Kill interceptor, I can tell you it does work, (when they can get the missiles out of the hole =P).
And given even your concession that your description sounds crazy, maybe you should be a little more forgiving of other technologies.
I am very happy that companies such as apple, ABC, and Time Warner are making tv shows available over the internet. But I have a signifigant problem with their implimentation. I have no problem watching a 1-2 minute comercial that can't be skipped. I have no problem loading proprietary software to watch their show so they can trust that I am not missusing my license to the media.
But I DO have a problem with having to use their client to view it. I watch video in basically 2 places. On my linux computer. And on my TV by way of a computer hooked to it. Now, the problem is that it is very hard to display video to a tv. Really only programs that are full screen and have taken this into account are capable of navigating and displaying video in such a way. I want 1 program to do this. Be it sageTV, a Windows Media Center Edition, MythTV, etc. The LAST thing I want to do is open up iTunes for my iTunes protected media, (and unless something has changed I don't know about, it doesn't display on a TV worth squat), or this Time Warner client to watch their media.
Granted, I have a very poor quality TV. But even if I update to a nice, fresh one, I should only have to have 1 program running to access my media. Each protection scheme should supply some pre-compiled library that each media player can then integrate to decode the data or to do whatever is required.
I honestly think that distribution of video media over computers will be hamstrung until providers consider how the way they make their media available will work with a Home Entertainment Center PC.
I have to admit it really sound forensic. From what I know, tools that would be used to clean it's traces undetected produced by an intel agency would have some level of sensitivity associated with it and would not be publicized. On the other hand, the government is very concerned with configuration management which means using tools that run, dump the data, and disappear w/o leaving the configuration of the system changed. My guess is this is a forensic tool.
Seriously, if you are the network admin you should be able to 'explain' that you are sorry that the website, mail server, and internet access are down, but now that you are in the public area, people just will not stop bugging you and you dont have the time to get them fixed until the day after they move you back.
you have obviously not worked with a defense contractor:
First you ask for a signifigant budget to conduct the analysis, THEN you spend that budget to come up with a second budget for what actually needs to be done.
Yes. Blizzard provides a 1 way feed for you to complain about GM action. They do not, however, act on these complains. Its simply a way to get you to argue to somewhere where you can't hurt them as opposed to, say, calling their investors at vivendi. My guess is if people stopped bothering with the established complain lines which don't work and, say, started calling up Vivendi when things went wrong, an effective GM support system might actually occur.
I think nowadays a PDA would have to be marked as a kickass mp3 player that play video, download wirelessly from your computer (wifi), play through the wireless headset (bluetooth), give you directions (gps), and it would all have to just work. Additionally it would need to have a simple, sexy interface. Plus it would need storage comparable to a similarly priced ipod.
PDAs are thought of as hamstrung computers that are hard to use, rarely ever work right, and are in no way 'cool'. Additionallyy they will now be seen as low storage MP3 Players. Their features really make them the next step. All the things mentioned from a wireless phone to a video/music player are highly marketable, the competition is just harder now that IPods have taken off.
Unfortunately I have to agree. Nice step for Open Source but Microsoft Word is still my editor of choise. They just now are getting grammar? And their spell checkers are still luke warm, (spelled tomorrow tomarrow and Abiword couldn't come up with a suggestion). Microsoft office will fix a majority of things for me on the fly. And its usually right. For work, I would buy Office 03 on my own buck just to get the reviewer tracking features which make editing incredibly easier, particularly when having coworkers review it. I'm sorry but Microsoft Word is just the better product. Open source word processors, while usable, are just playing catch-up to Word and are years behind still.
So they do have season discounts? If that is so than I can see this working but iTunes is STILL absorbing my music library, (installed it 5 hours ago).
I think consumers are going to be turned off by the fact that they can just get the DVD for the same price or less. That said, I'm sure the people who come home and miss the show once or twice will download it. Or the ones who can't wait to watch it all at once. They might even lure in the people who won't make big buys but will shell out the same amount a dollar or 2 at a time. But I think they need to price below the DVDs to really get it kicked off.
That said, just the idea is definately enough to get me to install iTunes on my media center box back home. And, you know, I might shell out a buck or 2 for a few shows. Just to see what I think. I hope there is an option to burn to DVD though.
A quick google search says the SS-19 is a 2 stage so they are using the whole thing. While you may have previous experience in ICBM design, in which case I bow to your experience, if you do not I must say I will take your experience with their amount of complexity with a grain of salt.
There was also the SLBMs they bonked infront of Putin for that demonstration. There was the SLBM the solar sail rode on that died. And I swear there was another one recently. Russian missiles are aging. My guess is their test schedules and maintenance cycles them is not well funded.

You mean other countries, spy on us??!!!! People seem to think this is surprising, new, or uncommon.

Because it's treason in the country where they live?
Just the fact that they would do that implies that it is a hoax. I am pretty sure forcing people to believe they will die is, by definition, torture.
In the movie aeon is emotionally fragile. Aeon needs a team to cover her. Aeon is having a very caring relationship with trevor who is really a good guy.
Aeon flux the movie is good as far as Sci-fi movies go. It's just not Aeon Flux.
I still remember my number too, but mainly because it is below 300,000.

Poor guy. I don't think he realized how organized, massive, and prepared the gamer community really was.
I downloaded and installed iTunes at the first Apple and TV story a few days ago. It is STILL cataloging my music something like 48 hours later.

Yet the problem was in the 2nd stage not shutting off and therefore burning the remaining fuel that should have been used to blow the bolts.
