This is the problem out-law identified. If you legislate against a technology, rather than a harm, people will use a different technology to legally commit the same harm. Criminalise the use of cookies and people will use a session identifier in the GET string.
You really think redistribution of wealth == communism?
You are aware that even the Republicans will take your taxes and use them to fund the (albeit limited) US welfare system. Yes, even the republicans will take your money and give it to folk less well off.
Some would call that fair. Others would call it society. You on the other hand apparently believe Reagan was and George W Bush is a communist.
Remember that Social Security in the US is paid from current revenue. What you pay in is used today, it's not an investment fund. So when you turn 65, be sure not to claim any state support, or Medicare, lest you too become a communist.
At 200 calories per day, you'd need something like 17 days to lose a single pound, and it's such a small amount per day that tiny slipups in diet would throw out any benefit without even being noticed.
Nonetheless, most folk gain weight gradually, and often just a few pounds a year. Those 200 calorie workouts every other day could let someone lose 10lbs a year, or someone who's been gaining at 10lbs a year start to maintain their weight. That, of course, is dependent on them not consuming a bottle of high carb sports drink during/after each workout.
You won't ever see a dramatic weight loss with those sort of workouts, but could see other dramatic health improvements, with potential long term weight loss.
You can lose weight just by eating less calories than you burn, no exercise required.
Though, losing weight is good - indeed great if someone's seriously overweight, it won;t provide all the other benefits that go with regular exercise.
Even if you don't lose weight through your exercise routine, it's still important and perhaps doubly so for the large number of us here with otherwise sedentary lifestyles.
My Siemens Gigaset A580 IP phones can load and export their directory in vcard format - it should be trivial to script something to automatically sync this via their web interface.
They can handle six voip providers and have a POTS connection.
Millions of potential exploiters didn't know about it, until now.
Millions of ordinary people didn't know there was a vulnerability until now. Who knows how many bad guys knew already though?
Knowing of a potential vulnerability allows people to alter their behaviour if they deem that an appropriate response. Systems administrators can examine setups to see if they can use other methods to secure communications and it also allows all those who have written applications to examine their code.
I'd rather know of a vulnerability and respond, than not know while others are potentially exploiting it.
I was surprised by the review and the comments about Acer. I bought two laptops about eighteen months ago. One HP consumer desktop was loaded with all manner of crapware. My Acer Extensa from the Acer business line had almost nothing other than some Acer encryption thingy that certainly didn't take much time to load or get rid of.
As for wireless toggle not working, I'm now running Windows 7, but did not install a single driver that did not come with the OS. My wireless switch works just fine.
I think the lesson is either be prepared to do a clean install, or buy from the business line.
I may be misunderstanding your wording, so we may be agreeing vehemently here.
Well, yes I think you did, but the rest of your post was very helpful.
I was looking at hypotheticals. What I was getting at was if their contingency had been lower - say there had been three alternate airports within 100 miles or about ten minutes flight time - their fuel load would have been lower. Had then used the allocated amount of fuel in getting to the airport then overshot in the wrong direction then there might have been a limit choice as to where to put down.
So I was trying to acknowledge that it would take something pretty spectacular for a situation like this to cause inconvenience, let alone put folk in danger. Nonetheless, if conditions formed a perfect storm, and the cabin crew didn't disturb the cockpit it seems feasible that a crew could be looking to touch down somewhere out of the ordinary.
Still, I'm not suggesting there's anything wrong with the current regulations. I think that situation was unlikely to ever develop, and is even less likely now.
The aircraft has lots of reserve fuel as per FAA regs
I was wondering about this given the cost pressures on airlines these days. The FAA website says this:
A. Required Fuel Supplies for Flights with Alternate Airports. When the Regulations require an alternate airport for the destination to be designated on the release, the aircraft must have the following types and increments of fuel on board at takeoff:
En Route Fuel. That fuel necessary for a flight to reach the airport to which it is released and then to conduct one instrument approach and a possible missed approach.
Alternate Fuel. That fuel necessary for a flight to fly from the point of completion of the missed approach at the destination airport to the most distant alternate airport, make an IFR approach (if the forecast indicates such conditions will exist), and then complete a landing.
International Reserve Fuel. That fuel necessary in addition the en route and alternate fuel increments for the flight thereafter to fly for 30 minutes.
En Route Reserve. The additional fuel necessary for the flight thereafter, to fly 15% of the total time required to fly at normal cruising fuel consumption to the airports specified in previous subparagraphs 1) and 2) or to fly for 90 minutes at normal cruising fuel consumption (whichever is less).
Contingency Fuel. That increment of fuel necessary for the flight to compensate for any known traffic delays and to compensate for any other condition that may delay the landing of the flight.
So they need enough additional fuel to fly 15% of the time required to reach the furthest alternate airport taking into account traffic delays and other factors that might delay the landing.
I think it's safe to say that they'd have plenty of fuel in this jaunt, where they extended the flight by 300 miles (round trip). Still, if alternate airports were relatively close, and had they not been disturbed by that member of cabin crew, I guess it's possible they could have been landing on a rural strip that doesn't see many A320s?
Any pilots able to tell us just how far they could get if they had been carrying the minimum fuel allowed by law?
Well, as I understand it, within the new Medical Care Reform legislation they're trying to pass, there are provisions to let the govt. have full access to your banking accounts (without warrant, etc).
Can you point to any line from any of the proposed bills that suggests this? Or have you been reading too many blogs?
Indeed. It sounds like he's in the market for XBMC and not an Xbox 360.
To make life really easy, he could see the xbox on ebay, the use the cash to buy an appleTV. The USB installer will have XBMC running in a flash, and, AIUI, the AppleTV is at least good for 720p.
You completely, totally, miss the point of my post. Look at the post I replied to - it was about why consoles are gaining in the gaming world.
I wasn't talking about image quality. I didn't try and compare the output of the card to that of a PS3.
All I mentioned was that, for the high quality you desire, you need to pay as much for the video card as others would for a complete, functional games console.
Do you really dispute that cost is a significant reason as to why consoles have such a large share of the gaming market?
The summary misses the point of why consoles are gaining so much ground in the gaming world. The main reason consoles are so popular is because the hardware never changes.
There is that. Then there's the cost. How much is this card? $380 says techreport.com? That's enough to buy a complete PS3 that'll also play Blu-Ray, plus a 2nd controller and probably a game too.
How lame is your college that it can't run an email system?
I don't think anyone, except you, is suggesting the colleges can't run an email service.
Email is time consuming and expensive to provide. 10, 20 or 30 thousand accounts, all demanding storage - and these days you can't give folk 100MB quotas. Accounts that are all attracting spam that requires either constant tweaking of anti-spam rules, or outsourcing spam and virus checking. Add in off-site backups, support, abuse and you are quickly spending tens of thousands on equipment and more on staff.
Then they get a call, or an email saying Google will offer all that for free. For a school facing budget constraints it's a very tempting offer. It says more about their budget than their technical ability.
The Sale of Goods Act in the UK places the responsibility on the retailer, not Sony. It also allows the consumer to claim against the retailer for up to six years after purchase.
Most retailers will claim against Sony and probably be reimbursed, as Sony want them to continue stocking their products. However, if the retailer you purchase from has gone under, you're out of luck.
Still it's better than nothing, and a great deal better than anything that I'm aware of in the United States. For those in the UK - remember and keep your receipt!
Well, you wouldn't necessarily expect x86 support on a non x86 architecture, would you.
It need not, and should not, be a deal breaker though. Windows has run on other architectures in the past - Windows NT and its successors have variously run on PowerPC, Alpha and MIPS and Itanium.
Looking at most the Atom devices around, they tend to be in small devices with a limited amount of hardware. Looking at my eeebox, ir has nothing other than a keyboard, mouse and hdtv attached. For netbooks, you know pretty well exactly what hardware you need to support.
If they can make sure there's an HD supporting graphics chipset with drivers, this will be an interesting chip.

I have one - it cost about $100 from rapidssl.
It was no more difficult to get than any other telephone authorised SSL cert (other than being more expensive).

One big disappointment for me was that you can't upgrade from a Home version of windows to a Professional one. Why on earth not?
I'd have been happy to reinstall iTunes. Instead I had to reinstall everything.
Okay - that's true, though for obvious reasons most folk prefer to avoid non-standard ports.
If all your SSL sites are for a single domain, it's possible to use VirtualHosts and a wildcard certificate to host multiple SSL sites on a single IP.
The restriction is one certificate per IP, rather than one site per IP.

Now I feel positively behind the curve, not having owned one until 1993!

It need not, and should not, be a deal breaker though. Windows has run on other architectures in the past - Windows NT and its successors have variously run on PowerPC, Alpha and MIPS and Itanium.
That'll be news to the folk that have been using computers with ARM processors since the very early 1990s.
Looking at most the Atom devices around, they tend to be in small devices with a limited amount of hardware. Looking at my eeebox, ir has nothing other than a keyboard, mouse and hdtv attached. For netbooks, you know pretty well exactly what hardware you need to support.

Surely causation is exactly what it implies? it just doesn't prove it.
And if you're actually sending directions, with waypoints, or longitude + latitude points?
