Yeah...they started levain a pulse check out of civillian CPR for the last few years. It's still in healthcate provider CPR, but that's obviously a higher level of training (even firefighters are considered "healthcare providers" for the purposes of AHA CPR)
While I mostly agree with you, I have one nit-pick/addition. As a former meat wagon operator (oh, sorry...I mean paramedic), checking for blood flow in extremities can be done by checking capillary refill as well.
Huh? Yeah...push on your fingernail. The nailbed turns white. The time it takes to go back to pink/red is your capillary refill time. Should be 1-2 seconds max, or you've got problems....not necessarily low bp....dehydration and low o2 saturation will do it too.
That being said, no pulse....how the hell do I get a BP? I'm guessing my pulseox won't work either. Do they have an LCD control panel mounted on their chest so I can check and adjust their BP with a little screwdriver? I can see this type of thing really compilcating/confusing emergency medicine.
He's probably talking about what I've been wanting too....the ability to use a laptop as an LCD monitor. As in....server in a rack, no KVM available....plug the video keyboard and mouse into the laptop with extension cables, and use the laptop as your IO device.
It would rock, but I'm sure its such a niche market it would never happen in a useful (read: a laptop that isn't complete crap) manner.
The main problem with liveness detection methods based on extra hardware, is that the scanners have to be adjusted to operate efficiently in different kinds of environments...
I have some photos on my site that I took with a borrowed Nikon D100, a top-of-the-line Digital SLR.
A D100 is hardly a top of the line digital SLR. It's not even a top of the line Nikon digital SLR. While the image problems you mention are typical of long-exposures on a digital, the D100 is, frankly, just crappy at low-light, long-exposure photography.
Lighter? What makes you think so? Take any electronics, trow it into water, and it will probably sink, not float. So it will most definitely be heavier than water by volume.
I get the sink/float relationship, but I still think that most surface mount boards will float.
Oh no....can't.....dont't...want to do..can't resist it.........
"What else float on water?"
"Very small rocks!"
"Churches....yes, churches!"
Similarly, it would be so light as to only add an ounce or two to the can.
Soda is mostly water, and water is 8.333 lbs per gallon. Most electronics (stripped down boards, not full enclosures, obviously) are probably lighter by volume than that.
So you're probably looking for a case/can that is slightly LIGHTER, not heavier.
Of course, variations in how much the cans are filled will probably make that amount too small to be useful.
Lottery or Contest winnings are considered a windfall, and are not taxable. I believe it is the same with inheritance.
Another top notch/. accountant, I see. I'm sure as hell not an accountant, and even _I_ know that 3/4 of the statements on what is taxable and what is not made so far are totally and completely wrong.
As we don't even know WHAT kind of router is was, I'm using WIC in the generic sense, not in the Cisco sense. You know....Wan Interface Card. Not "WIC (c)Cisco".
But everyone know how smart you are now, so that's good, right?
Dude...we're not talking about "network cards" in a PC. These are DS3 WICs, probably in 7206VXRs or the like. Not only is there no unscrewing of a case (other than the two thumbscrews at either side), but they're fine to yank while powered up.
What's amazing (and it may not be the case, as we don't know all of the details, I'm sure) is that a simple correlation of the start time of the network down event and the sign-in log and security cameras (if any) hasn't been done to ID who did it. These facilities aren't particularly heavily trafficed by people on Sunday evenings, and they usually aren't all that big.
Data calls don't get along well with VoIP services...
Where's you get that idea from? Certianly not practical experience. I use my Vonage line to connect to out-of-band modemns on routers on a routine basis. In Europe, I never have problems connecting at anything less than 14.4k. In the US, I often successfully connect at 28.8 and up. 9600 baud has never been a problem, and is plenty fast for the purposes of this article.
If random text generators get good enough to beat those rules, they will no longer be truly random and will run a high risk of being intelligible sentences---and potentially offensive ones at that---substantially reducing the likelihood of spammers using such generators.
That's the most clearly presented stupid and nosensical response I've seen on/. all week. Oh..it's only Monday.
All of those rules can just as easily be applied to the code generating the spam, minus the words that would likely make an "offensive" sentence as you say. Yet another idea that sounds great, until you actually THINK about it.
Quote from the Washingtonpost.com article: "[It] is possible that national security or critical infrastructure protection may require a greater level of security than the market will provide," it said. "Any such gap should be filled by appropriate and tailored government action that interferes with market innovation on security as little as possible."
In other words, "The legal climate is such that we are very likey to start getting sued for coding sloppy, insecure software. Rather than properly staffing to test our code, we'd rather have the taxpayers pay for this. This a.) saves us money and b.) puts the responsibility on someone other than us if there is a security problem."
This technique was not new, and as I recall was the plot of a movie once.
Strangely enoguh, I happen to be watching it on my Tivo now....it was on TCM a few days ago and got recorded (you know....gotta tell your Tivo to record all Steve McQueen movies....it's important).
You can sell your copy of Windows, though, regardless of what crap Microsoft says.
No, you can't, because it's unlikely that you OWN a copy of Windows. You can sell your media. But the LICENSE that you paid for restricts your ability to transfer it (the licenst to use what's on the media) to another party.
For anyone who thinks that camera phones are useless, my anectdote is being able to email pictures of my car's accident to my insurance agent while still at the scene of the accident. She then changed her mind and decided that I really couldn't drive a car with that front end and they sent a tow truck.
#1) Your agent doesn't make those decisions. The insureance company adjuster does.
#2) Get a real insurance agent, or learn how to speak in a manner that gets you what you need/want from VENDORS that you are PAYING for service.
Take care of #2, and easily transmitted photos are no longer a necessity. Besides...who cares? Call a two truck and get towed. When the adjuster sees the car later, they will know that it wasn't drivable and the bill gets paid.
If any of the above isn't true, you might as well be dropping your pants and backing into your insurance agent's office. Once again: YOU pay THEM. They are supposed to be servicing you, not the other way around.

PCMCIA card or a USB dongle with long, KVM-like cables
Mmmmm...even better idea.
Wow. I'm a geek for even caring that much. But damn, that would be nice.
I doubt that's what he meant.

Not to mention that there are more root servers than that (every ear of Anycast?), but no root DNS hardly will make "most of the net [not] function."
Well, considering that analogue cellphones have been obsolescent around 10 years ago
Do you mean "obsolete". No, they haven't been. They just haven't been sold. The AMPS network is alive and strong.
Don't believe me? Check around. Here's your first hint: All On*Star customers are on it.

Point being that jamming is a particularly crude way of doing this, requiring special (bulky and rather hard-to-hide) equipment.

No, he's right. Lottery winnings are not taxable in Canada.
They will be when we've run out of land down here.

The tax that the winner would pay I believe is capital gains tax.
Nice try, but not even close. You'd pay income tax, just the same as if you won the lottery, a slot machine, etc.
Capital Gains tax is what you pay when you sell an inventment asset before it's holding period (if any) at a profit.

1) They don't have to worry about clueless users causing IP address conflicts as much.
2) If they change something around, they don't have to contact you to change your IP.
Its called a static DHCP lease.
Many business class DSL services offer static IPs this way already, and have been doing so for years.
