Sure there is. Close the loopholes. One thing people miss a lot is when you leave a back door or a loophole, its the people inside the company that leak the information. Thus, nothing is safe. Security through obscurity is bogus because if anybody knows, there is the potential for everybody to know.
No, but if they have twice as much business should they need close to twice as many people?
Twice the facilities, etc. etc. This is just BS and opportunism.
The main thing that people never realize in these mergers is what they do to corporate culture. This will instantly pit former people soft management(that remain) in FULL COMPETITION with the oracle management. People will form clicks as they try to save their jobs. People will rat on each other and kiss ass of who they think will keep them around.
It brings to an instant and sudden halt, all proper management decisions, and makes all forthcomming decisions solely for the keeping of ones job. The cut-throat culture that results can take decades to get rid of, if ever.
Hey look at me!!! i fired more of my subordinates "saving" the company more money than any other manager...
there could only be ONE thing this box could do. It must provide security without giving the laptop access to your key. Otherwise I could do what I am doing now.
Thats exactly what we need. An electromagnetic power war with cell phones.
AFAIK, the only ones in USA allowed to jam anything is the Government.
Also, am I too paint the roof too? This mess has no chance of "working". Though it will probably do what it claims to some degree, you just can't apply it in an appropriate fashion.
Im an electrical engineer and so is my boss. Whenever his phone is about to ring, and were in a conference room, the room's speaker phone will output a burst of noise.
I find this happens with my phone around certain devices as well. Its definitely a lot of radiation. I wouldn't even consider living anywhere near one of those towers.
I use mine as infrequently as possible, but they are becoming ubiquitous, and one must consider second hand radiation.

Women are more adaptable in that sense. I can not see a man playing a game with men it it which were designed to be sexually attractive to women. It would be a turn off.
If its FLOATING, its accounted for. You could put a block of steel on top of the ice, if the ice still floats, the volume has been accounted for...
If you knock my block of steel off the cube into the ocean, the same thing happens. cube becomes lighter displaces less water, block of steel now under water displaces equal amount...Same with your surface ice.
I dont think what computers are able to do has any bearing on this.
People don't recognize 'intellectual property' people recognize tangible property. For instance, I won't be playing anymore Steam games because I don't like the life of my product to be tied to any company. I can pull duke nukem off the shelf now, install and play, who knows where 3d realms is these days.
Its like not being able to record a song but only listen to it from the radio. People will perceve this as a huge step backwards and I don't think they will accept it at all. Now large companies will probably not be so opposed.
Yes, the argument is wholly flawed because we could always copy with casettes. High quality that was just as acceptable to everyone as the original. Consider that we even bought casettes over the counter.
if you have to dial a number to get out, chances are your phone number is not the exact one showing up. But the number is probably similar and after a while people figure it out.
At first i laughed at the joke, but then i thought about it. Windows may have a nice 'uptime' with xp, but most of it is spent sleep. My linux box is up and running non-stop. (Mostly because it does not support sleep mode) But also because it grabs my email all day.
So my linux box is folding away. To bad folding@home can't seem to do more than 1 job without requiring manual intervention these days...
I thought the uncertainty principle did not say this. It said that to know the position you couldnt know the velocity, or to know the velocity you couldnt know the position?
You just can't know both because to observe one you will have to change the other.
Of course Java can unload unnecessary and unused class definitions saving RAM at runtime, something c++ can not do when its running on a CPU.
And I like to point out that Java virtual machines ARE c++.
Finally I'd like to add that Java 1.5 has implemented footprint sharing which will reduce the amount of RAM used by multiple JVMs running at the same time. Not exactly ignoring the "problem."
If games allow a big strong veteran to slay a newbie without repercussions, whose fault is that?
In RL we have punishments to supposedly discourage this. Why don't developers?
Because they are lazy bums who want to blame the community for the flaws in their game design. Maybe hire a psychologist to explain societal techniques to prevent this? No, thats just more work and money...
And you cant compare persistant games to ones that are not. People do all sorts of stupid time wasting things when nothing is on the line. You can't be griefed in online Chess...
It should not matter if a player is honest or not. You can steal from me in Eve. But there are ways in the game for me to hunt you down and inflict some quality restitution.
No, I think the zip files are just enciphered sequentially. But they are not Encrypted. If they were encrypted then that would probably be true depending on the algorithm.

Not really. Engineering students tend to NOT start their own comanpies if you consider the vast number graduating these days.
I think law students tent to start their own companies much moreso. Look in any phone book.
If your talking graduate school though, then you may have a point.

Have my ssh key putty and VNC on a flash drive.
What if I have a 'organic' farm, and it gets into my fields. Who sues whom?

But I can easily see the reverse.
As far as I can tell, when you have won, reentering the game offers only the chance to loose.
I think you misunderstood his question.
"Outside piracy, how useful is this?"
"this" not being bittorrent, but being bittorrent without a central server. I have to ask the same question.
I would not take the risk of a corrupted server just to gain what? anonymity?
How else you gonna make sure you wife isin't gettin it on with the pool boy?
In my experience 99% of stop errors are caused by
Well yes, Faulty hardware (poorly seated Cards/RAM)

The computers are doing most of the flying. Pilots dont need to look out the window to fly the plane, else they would never leave the ground at night.
Yes, the guy is stupid. I don't know what he thought would happen...

Or have I conflated something?
If i'm not mistaken, the barter system is now illegal in USA, and all trades must be done with 'money.'
As much as I love Blizzard, for WOW to get game of the year, coming out at the end of the year just smacks of payola.

BitTorrent still starts from a single place which there is no problem in tracking. The torrent file comes from somewhere.
