Very few (if any) cops want to be the guy who shot his sidearm into a crowd of protesters. Even if they don't wind up being prosecuted, it would make their life very shitty for a while.
Yeah, that's the kind of thing that gets you on The Running Man game show.
I really think of dilithium as more of a catalyst than a regulator. It turns the explosion of a matter/antimatter reaction into highly energetic plasma that can be readily used in many applications. Then, the acoustic phase compensators even out the flow of plasma so it's more fluid and not as.... What? Star Trek has been off the air for years? Aw, crap! Nevermind....
Not only that, but guess what? You really don't NEED an entire OS to control an RC car or plane. Simple transmitters have been around since the 70's and the technology has gotten MORE SECURE, faster, lighter, and more power efficient. Adding an entire OS to the mix just ends up with code you don't need, to add delays and security vulnerabilities that you don't want.
Not everything needs to have an OS in it for god's sake!
OK, plug your HDMI to DVI cable into your pc and stretch it to it's limit.....
The HDMI Connector pops out because it only has friction to hold it in place. VGA and DVI both have screws on either side. You think the military would stand for this?
I did some research on this Avenger controller, and it looks interesting. There were indications that people had these in their hands earlier this year. It made sense because there were some shipping delays then as well (but not a whole out backlash like today). It's a shame, because I wanted the controller as a Christmas gift for a friend who often has trouble with the standard Sony Controllers because his hands are much larger than your average Asian's.
I was one of the lucky customers to order an Avenger PS3 on Dec 5th via Amazon. There were only about a dozen reviews on amazon, and mostly positive, so I placed the order. I waited for about a week after the amazon estimated shipping date, and asked why my status was only "Shipping soon". Their first reply was that it was a pre-order, and that Amazon got the date wrong. I never saw anything on the product page to indicate it was a pre-order. They said that the product would be shipping Dec 17th. I waited 9 more days, and asked why it was still "shipping soon". At this point, I suggested that they do the right thing, and contact all the amazon customers and let them know the status. They pointed me to their order page (not through amazon) which had an update, but no specific date on it.
Today, I saw all the posts and reviews at amazon, and canceled my order. I commented that the reviews on amazon had bottomed out, and that I had lost all confidence in the product and company. The reply I got was simply "It's spam". Yeah, 128 1-star reviews from different people, and it's spam. This guy is already living in his own universe.
Jeezus! Why not just use a keyboard and enter a password? I know that I would rather deal with a 101 key keyboard rather than a changing array of 256 random pictures!
More than 15 years ago, there was an HP deskjet (it might have been officejet) that actually did have a heating element under the output tray that was used to help dry the ink. This was the only HP Inkjet printer that I have ever seen with any type of fuser analog. I doubt that the element could start a fire, even if you could force it to be constantly on. Printers of that era didn't even have flash upgradable firmware.
Exactly. Hackers cannot remotely open cell doors if you connect the controls to any network. There is nothing wrong with a big lever and 2 armed guards.
Before that mission impossible movie, there was a whole Mission Impossible TV series (Two, actually). Watch them. They are much better than the movies.
I would disagree in the way that experience in IT would help you to become a better programmer.
When you work in IT, you actually use programs that are written by other people, and you get a chance to see all the stupid things that they do, and all the mistakes that they make. If these quirks annoy you enough, you will make sure your code does things RIGHT. This isn't something that they teach you with a CS degree.... It's EXPERIENCE, and it's valuable to anyone who might use your product.

Yeah, that's the kind of thing that gets you on The Running Man game show.
...or at least, UNARMED. I don't see any way a physical fight with an officer will turn out any better for you than obeying.
Since when is an arm or a leg considered an ORGAN?
Astronaut Don Knotts has proved that it is also possible to eat peanut butter and crackers while in a microgravity environment.
Well, then maybe IBM should move for a Summary Execution....

Give me screws, dammit!
I think James Woods had a television like that in Videodrome.

Netflix was down.
You are the one who posted the article? Why did you post it anonymously only to follow up with your real account? It's a conspiracy, isn't it?
Funny. If it was designed for consoles, then where is the PS3 release?
