Oh you mean outside your head? Very simple: A password!
Or more exact: A password-protected thing that stores your other passwords. It can really be anything. I use KDEs KWallet. And Firefox's password manager, encrypted and protected by a master-password (which you can set in Firefox's own settings dialog, if you had looked there for even a second!) (Firefox sadly needs a lot of manual scripting hackery to integrate into KWallet).
But really, anything password-protected and encrypted is good enough. Even a text file. If it's on an encrypted drive on an USB stick. There are tons of possibilities. Use whatever suits your needs best.
I'm not against taking down a botnet. But I still think that basic laws are more important. If we don't apply the same rights on really everybody, those "rights" become meaningless.
FireEye isn't exactly a police or government agency. How exactly can they raid zombie computers of private people? I can't think of any way that this is legal. Which does not make them better than what they are "prosecuting" (A term, that when associated with a private company, usually makes a crime itself.)
Is it like Blackwater? A bunch of criminals who like to legally murder and beat up people? Just that here they like to raid computer systems?
I don't know what it is with you Americans and your preference of group-thinking... They ARE, as a matter of fact, multiple people. To everything OTHER than having different views, depending on who is speaking, is perverse and sick.
You have no soul, and I shall stab you in the heart, at first sight!
There is no worse type of human than a money servant. One who does everything for the completely pointless golden cow.
Becoming rich is not a goal in itself, never was, and never will be!
If someone tries to become rich to be able to do something with a point to it, that's another thing.
But just money? And then throwing it all out, or just putting it in a safe? That way you would just remove yourself from the space-time continuum. Because in 3-4 generations, nobody would still know you ever existed. So you could as well never have existed.
Yeah, if you're a pathetic loser, who never speaks up, in fear of "not being loved"... which causes him to be pathetic loser in the first place...
But I say: robots.txt is EXACTLY what you tell the billionaire, if you have any ambition to be a billionaire yourself, instead of a servant. If he has any competence, he will listen, and respect you for your useful expertise anyway.
If not, you tell him he can stick his contract up his ass, and go to somewhere with more competence. Because that place will crush him anyway, in the long term.
It's sad that so many people think, that obeying and letting others do everything to them would be the way to gain respect and become successful. While in reality, only those who have the balls to openly stand by their own views, are going to get anywhere or lead anyone.
Which funnily is often exactly their problem with women. ^^
Combined with the idea of the government managing our health care, I'm not terribly encouraged by the idea.
You mean other than private companies, whose sole reason of existence is to make as much money off you while giving you as little as possible? Either legal or trough bribery. Who literally will throw you out of the hospital with broken ribs, to die on the street. (Yes, I've seen that happen.) And who are in no way related to your actual health?
Yeah, I really hope you can keep those companies. Then I don't have to strangle you with my bare hands for being such an unbelievable retard, but can just let the HMOs kill you, slowly, and painfully... as they usually do it.
There is one problem with prepared slides: They are canned! They are not exactly a dynamic medium of communication. While the chalkboard still is.
I think if I were a professor, I'd get myself a one or a couple of Cintiqs, and project each one on a different screen. Just like chalkboards. But with the ability to use prepared material too, and even quickly switch to a website or just project some code while I write it, if needed.
The problem is, that education is crappy, because the money all goes to "terrorist" ghosts, pointless wars, by/and "failing" banks who deliberately put the country into debt, to control it. It's a bit like the original Stargate movie: We have the right to have just enough intelligence to be good servants.
Uuum... then a receiving dish would be so big, that they could just put solar cells there, and get orders of magnitude more power from it. Is it really that silly and stupid, or where am I wrong?
Ah, allright. I had forgotten where microwaves lie in the em spectrum. Not very problematic. But of course, everything with water in it, can be fried, if the energies are high enough. And will be fried just a tiny bit, by a tiny bit of energy. Which builds up with the years. So all you have to do, is stay away from x, where x is the power of the microwaves, multiplied by the duration. And the likeliness for unhealthy and possibly cancerous "bit flips"^W^WDNA damage will stay below a likeliness l = L(x). (Which is only possible for waves that can penetrate the body.)
Now what level of likeliness do I find acceptable? As a perfectionist, I'd say "none!". But this is of course not very realistic. Resulting in a more realistic "So that it stands way behind any more prominent health risk.".
Now if only those people that complain about cell phone towers would think about at least that last sentence, and would use some real measuring devices. ^^
As I work a bit in that field, I think I could define it like this:
If it's inside a computer, it's not reality. If it's happening in reality, it's not augmented.:)
What I see there, is him holding up the magazine, against what appears to be a camera with special software that reads the fancy bar code, and shows a silly animation of what a 70 year old guy from the last century would think is "this fancy virtual reality".
I wonder how that software got on there. And who turned on the camera and all that stuff? Veery "all by itself", those things...*cough*.;)
It's basically just a normal feature detection combined with one of those completely pointless supposed-to-be-artsy Flash websites. And an old man of a dying industry, who, in his desperation to gain some attention from the youth, got beautifully ripped off by some guys on drugs.
I wouldn't hire those guys as augmented reality experts. I'd hire them as sales men, or perhaps con men. ^^
I don't think quantum theory, or relativity theory were will ever be seen as "obvious". ^^
I mean, quarks in protons?? Electrons being wave fields too? Entanglement? Superconducting materials? Black holes? Schrödinger's cat? *Relative* *time* as gravity-dependent space warping?? I mean, just freakin' *wow*!
I think it is more often than not, that the correct theory looks in fact batshit insane to everyone on the planet. *Including* the one who came up with it!:) No writer can ever come up with things as crazy as reality. Just wait for the first aliens! I bet money on the scientists who see them declaring them as "not life" for at least a decade, because they don't contain the "basic ingredients" of "life". ^^
The real fact behind this is of course, that for women, it often does not matter all all, what the actual words say. It's the emotions that she receives. This is perhaps the single biggest misunderstanding in relationships. So men, try to listen to the emotional content of your communication for once, when you notice a lack of harmony. And women, try to look at it with plain emotionless logic, in those cases. (Who am I telling this to? Everybody knows there are no women on/. ^^)
I'm not saying that any of those forms of communication is better or worse. (If you thought that was was I was saying, that says more about your own views and biases.:) I think it's pretty great that we have those two highly advanced forms of communication, adapted to the specific needs. Just as we have specialized genders. You will never be able to do alone, what you can do with teamwork. So yay to genders and their differences!:)
Who came up with all that "platform" and "framework" shit? Someone with the motto "less modularity, less freedom, more lock-in!"?
I refuse to use everything that calls itself a development "platform" or a "framework". Please give me plain properly modularized and separated libraries!
I would never even come up with using my coding IDE as a runtime-library-kinda-thing! I mean how fucked up is that? If it were Microsoft, we would all smite it in the "two minutes hate" each day!;)
But I see it positive: I have the freedom to not use it. And thereby gain an advantage over all the "enterprise consultants" who use that stuff. Which is pretty nice of them, actually...:)
Uuum, you mean that huge slow mess of co-dependent modules and shit, that you have to wade through for weeks to get to anything usable, that is called Eclipse?
Really! as a Java, J2ME, Haskell and web developer, I stopped after two fucking weeks! It's even worse than the Miranda IM! Hell, it's worse than installing Gentoo from Stage 1! And that means something!
Sorry for the hate. But sometimes, hate is deserved.
I'm happy if you are happy with it. And in system administration, I can also be a bit that way. But I... well... in programming... I just want to code...
I can do with Kate, or any basic code editor, and a reasonably scriptable shell, if I have to. No problem. But when I get the possibility to get more without a big hassle, I go for it.
Before NetBeans, I used JBuilder, because I was used to Delphi, which I got to from the old Pascal days. (Man, was Turbo Pascal a great environment, or was it?)
Conclusion: Everyone has its own motives, interests and tastes. Everyhing is relative. Stop being so egocentric, and acting like we don't do "real projects" like the oh so great guru that you think you are. Because with that narrow view on the world, I seriously doubt you even understand real "guruness".:) (But hope you'll get there. And me too.:)
How do these retard PHBs always come up with the idea, that they could make money with their mediocre ideas, that at least two other people on the planet independently came up with at the same time? Sounds like the dotcom bubble all over again.
If advertisement is your business model, then you're a dreamer. Because to live from that, you have to start out by being someone like Google. And if a paid service is your business model, another idiot will copy your service and offer it for "free" in an ad-based "business model".
The only services that can really always ask money, are those who can offer a service that stays unique. One example is the Daily Show. Or a musician. Or any other form of art. (Not the distribution but the creation.) If it's good, then by definition nobody can copy that.
Everybody else must wait, until every last idiot has realized, that they can't offer that service on an ad-financed basis. ^^
That's what they said about photography, computer games, theme parks, and pretty much any other form of entertainment out there. "It's just a fad. It will never become serious. No matter how much progress humanity makes, and how many new use cases spring up. Never ever ever something new will become a normal part of life! Gaaahhh!!"

If you take down a botnet, do it in a legal way!!
Why would they nuke you? They already own you. ;)
What is the point in destroying your own property?
I don't know what it is with you Americans and your preference of group-thinking... They ARE, as a matter of fact, multiple people. To everything OTHER than having different views, depending on who is speaking, is perverse and sick.
Well... buy an iPhone. :P
I think in Germany, it will be especially HANDY.
If creationists are declared as apes, this might well be true. I can't believe that they even are from this planet!
How about the media industry? ^^

No. With a spoon!

It's stereo.
Similar to stereo audio not being binaural audio.
Because there is only one fixed viewing angle and focus plane. Which is also the reason for the additional eye strain.
