I am not so concerned about the lawful access (i.e. not a secret court warrant). It's the abuse of power that continues with the executive agencies (NSA, CIA, FBI, DEA, local police, etc...) that I am concerned about. Until they are willing to stop the abuses, I have no problem making their jobs harder. Don't blame the tech companies for making your jobs more difficult. If you do it the right way, an encrypted phone won't be a problem during an investigation.
A phone should not be the start and end of your case and investigation - it should only be an additional tool.
.. is assuming everybody is profit-motivated and is actually driven by "bringing something to market."...Why not spend some of those dividends out on the fringe? That's how progress happens: sometimes you learn something (I'm sure the driverless car initiative has had lots of implications for Maps' imaging) you didn't expect.
They are publicly held so by law they have to do what's best for shareholders. So yeah, by law, everything they do will have to be profit-motivated at some level.
With a Democratic Senate, there will be no impeachment.
American Government fail on your part. The House of Representatives impeaches. The Senate convicts. Clinton was impeached, but not convicted and removed from office.
Why wouldn't you? You have no guarantees that after the two Jr Devs get up to speed, they don't get rid of you (surely they are making less). The company would also have no qualms about laying you off if they need to - it's only business.
If upper mgmt were REALLY your friends, they would want what's best for you. If they are bitter about you leaving, then they are not really your friends.
Don't Make Me Think by Steve Krug before they touch any UI's.
I also like Design with the Mind in Mind by Jeff Johnson. This one is a little more advanced at how the mind works though.
I can't imagine any legislature would even consider this seriously since there is no way for them to enforce this except for those businesses that deal in keywords and have servers in Utah and the company only deals in Utah (i.e. not on the internet). I would think that other than that, the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution applies and they would not be able to regulate it at the state level.
Is this the case? I am usually wrong so I would like someone with a better sense of the law to comment on this.
You are forgetting about the volcanic dust in the lungs that will cause a painful death for many. For the most part, the dust is too fine to be filtered out.
The problem is that the Justice Department is part of the executive branch. The Judicial Branch can't/won't enforce the contempt charge unless it is brought to them by either the executive branch (Justice Dept) or by however Congress can do it.
IIRC, Congress must pass the charges onto the DOJ and they are the ones that decide whether to prosecute or not (since the Executive branch is in charge of enforcing the law). Of course, since the DOJ is part of the Executive Branch, chances are they will ignore the contempt citation - which is completely allowed, although may not be right.
Well, it's tough to get around that, but the good thing about SWA is that once you get on the plane, the marshall has no idea who anyone is because of the lack of seating assignments - so he won't be able to randomly write someone up that is taking pictures of things outside the plane.
A new Zelda is slated for Q4 also. This could be a pretty good Q4 for Nintendo. Looks like this new Zelda is getting back to the roots from the N64 titles...
Well, it wasn't crashing on that site. I should have clearified that it was crashing on her school site when she went to go get her grades. It was also crashing on every site she went to where she had to log in.
Word of mouth advertising is the best. With the NYT article, and "geeks" like us spreading the word about Firefox, more and more people are starting to use it.
Just the other day, I had a friend who couldn't go to any site on the net without IE crashing and the Send Report box coming up (does anyone actually send the reports??). Anyway, she was getting frustrated, so I pointed her to Firefox's download site. She downloaded it and now uses it exclusively. She loves the look and feel and says it seems much faster in rendering sites. I told her there may be a couple sites she will have to use IE for, but for the most part, Firefox will work.
She said she is going to tell her friends about it. As I said earlier, word of mouth advertising is the best way to get the word out....especially for people that aren't very knowledgeable technology wise.
Especially in the US. Most American consumers seem to have in our minds that bigger is better (i.e. SUV's) and pricier must mean it's better. Usually that isn't the case, but the brand name companies know people will pay for the brand and the company jacks their prices up.
I am guilty of this mentality as well. I know that there are numerous times, especially at the supermarket, where I will be looking at two items (one store brand, the other name brand). I end up going back and forth and usually think that the store brand is cheaper because it's less quality (although sometimes it is). I am usually able to convince myself to buy the cheaper of the two though as I don't usually care about things that are a little bit less quality. Most of the time the quality is the same though.
This is kind of like EZPass and FastLane in the Northeast US. They are pretty much RFID tags that get put on your windshield and allow you to never stop moving when you get through a toll that accepts them. They automatically charge to your credit card/bank account (well really you have an account with them (say $25) and they take the money out until you get to a certain amount and they 'refill' it up to $25). Do they have anything like this in England?
ESPNvideogames.com sells them and is currently offering free shipping. I know it's not the same as having it right away, but the free shipping should be a plus if you can't find the games in stores.
I know Citibank does too. Works great for websites (or subscription services) that like to automatically renew. I like the emails I get saying the transaction has failed and to contact them immediately to fix it. I say to myself that maybe they should get the hint after the first 5 emails.
So if you create an apparatus that doesn't edit the gig as performed (i.e. it does a clean recording that isn't edited at all...what you hear is what you get), someone isn't violating the patent, correct?
I think that wouldn't matter though. CC would only have to threaten litigation and a smaller company would probably back off because they wouldn't be able to afford a drawn-out lawsuit - even if they would win. Although I hope they would be able to recover legal fees (maybe??)
Does this really come as a surprise? This is something that is quite obvious. The worms sucks up resources and take many man-hours to apply patches (not even counting the testing to make sure the patches don't break other things). I honestly think the rise in cost to dealing with these things is obvious. I would think that this isn't just a Windows thing, but an issue for every OS out there, although I do realize Windows has a large majority of the attacks.
I think that goes to show that if a canditate has a good record and doesn't show partisanship, then he/she can be popular across the board. Here, you have the AG, who shouldn't be partisan in his position, working for the people, and with the approval ratings, it shows the public appreciates it. I really thinks it comes down to, he was doing his job (fighting for the citizens of NY) and he was successful in what he was elected to do.
I agree with you. I remember when I was graduating from UCONN in December of 2002, I was pissed because I thought that nobody would want me and I knew basic programming skills (C++, JAVA, basic SQL). I thought the theory was meaningless. Now I have a great job and I find myself applying the theory more and more. I think it is generally true that it is easier to teach syntax than semantics and the way you need to approach problems. Nowadays, most languages are similar in syntax anyways (OO languages at least) and learning a different one takes a minimum amount of time (compared to learning the theory and algorithms to make the program run efficiently).
I agree. I also think that if the girl needed to get a date at a baseball game, she couldn't have been anything spectacular. By that I mean, why isn't she taken already? I would never go out with anyone that way either - too risky and I would always be wondering what is wrong with her (until I found out of course). The PS2 will last longer and give much more hours of fun. Plus, the fun he will have with the PS2 on a nightly basis (monthly/yearly basis if married) will last more than 10 seconds each time;o)

Avast. Used to use AVG, but Avast seems to work better.

Ultimately, you need to do what's best for YOU.

One way around that is to write "Payment in full" on the front of the envelope. Most collection agencies can't resist at that point.

Well, it's tough to get around that, but the good thing about SWA is that once you get on the plane, the marshall has no idea who anyone is because of the lack of seating assignments - so he won't be able to randomly write someone up that is taking pictures of things outside the plane.
Fly Southwest - then they don't know who you are because it is open seating and they can't look you up based on seat number.
:-)
I fly SWA all the time and find they are usually ahead of schedule and I have never had a problem with them.
Yes - I know they are now testing to see if assigned seating would be faster, but it is only in the testing phase.

Spybot is just as good. I find running them both is a better solution, each find things the other doesn't.
