Monitoring of what? Sensors through the whole system that measure what? What exactly is this proper engineering that you claim they should have done?
Armchair engineers always seem to have perfect hindsight.
No. The 256 bit key was not created by a human, it's generated at random at the time the chip is manufactured and is not readable from outside the chip, so any word or phrase in a dictionary is no more likely to be the key than any random string of bits.
No. Divers go through a slow decompression when returning to the surface to get rid of dissolved nitrogen in their blood stream which could otherwise lead to the bends. A 3 psi O2 atmosphere doesn't have much nitrogen to begin with, not to mention that the astronauts would go through decompression at the start of their trip, not when they come back.
I own some Netflix stock, and in spite of the ups & downs it's done quite well for me over the past couple of years. The day they start adding ads to their feeds, however, will tell me that it's the start of their long, slow, death spiral and I'll start unloading before long. It's a sure sign that they're no longer on the cutting edge, but rather just trying to milk the cow for as long possible before killing it.
I have residential internet service via cable from Time Warner, and although my I.P is theoretically dynamic, it hasn't changed more than a few times in the past five years, and then it was only because the cable modem had been left powered off for a while.
So this case could also easily be just some guy selling computers out of the trunk if his car.
Security cameras as used for security purposes. They can have a civil liability if they release security footage. Like, if they released footage of a celebrity eating dinner, they'd sue.
You may want to re-think that statement.
OK, there are larger craters because the crust is thinner on this side, but why is the crust thinner on this side? Mere happenstance, or is it caused by orbital mechanics or some other reason?
I don't necessarily agree. If you're designing the chips, then designing high speed devices today (what with all of the simulation & layout tools available) isn't really any more difficult than it was for the guys that designed the 6502. Likewise, if you're designed a product that uses those chips, you have enough tools at your disposal to make sure the design somewhat works at the first iteration, compared to back then when you might spend weeks wire wrapping and reworking a prototype board before you could think of paying someone to lay out a PCB with tape and mylar.
Myself, i went the other way. Started out as mostly a hardware designer with 8080's and analog video gear, now I'm mostly software and write CUDA programs to do the same thing.
If you're an average user that mostly uses just a web browser on the Internet, install an ad-blocker of your choice if you haven't done so already. All those ad popups, flash, etc., are consuming bandwidth that count against your monthly cap. When some web site says "Oh please won't you turn off your ad-blocker" tell them to take it up with their advertisers. ISP's will listen to advertisers more than they will to the average customer scum.
Most patients, when walking into the office of a new medical provider, are given a stack of forms to sign by a harried receptionist who expects them to just sign the paperwork and hand it back. Few people actually read them.
Based on what I've read on the Internet, students in the U.S. Naval Academy aren't even taught how to use a sextant any more, because, you know, we have GPS now.
How many accounts can anyone have that they actually need to have bar codes or some other such nonsense to be able to regain entry to them?
Print out you account information, user names, passwords, etc., and put the printout in your fire-resistant safe. If your house burns down, or some other calamity happens, and you need to regain access to all of your accounts, then you'll just re-enter tha passwords for each one. This can't possibly be more complicated than setting up some OCR / Barcode / Rube Goldberg solution.
My own parents met through online dating, though back then the Internet was only available on paper. They were together nearly 40 years and raised 4 kids.
He won't lose any high school credit because he wasn't able to compete in his nth science fair. But just think how good his resume after college will read when it says that he was disqualified because he entered too many science fairs in high school.
This is what I loved about Google Reader that nothing else I've looked at seems to have. With Google, you add a shortcut to your browser to http://www.google.com/reader/next?go=nextauto... Every time you click on it it takes you to the next new page in one of your subscribed feeds. If there are no more unread pages, it takes you to some end-of-the-internet page. That's all it does, and that's all I want it to do. i don't want extra crap, I don't want to be forced to install a plug in, and I certainly don't want even more facebook , et. al, icons. Just provide me with a quick and simple way to view all the sites I've subscribed to.
It would also provide a viable basis for sending up a rocket with a few tons of mass to break up an asteroid into....
That would like firing a gun into the sky, hoping to hit a bullet that was also fired into the sky moments before someone else a mile away, except much harder. At the distance at which you would need to intercept these projectiles they give off no heat, so you can't even use heat seeking space rockets (which don't exist anyway).
Real life isn't a Bruce Willis movie.
Military medals were created to honer a soldier without actually spending any significant portion of the King's treasury. It's so much cheaper to hand out a trinket that costs a few dollars than it is to actually give a performance bonus to those that risked their lives.
It probably wouldn't work for cinemas in most cities because yes, people would just go down the street to another theater. In a one stop-light town like Oakhurst, however, it could make sense. The closest option for them to go to the movies is to drive all the way to Fresno, and face it, who wants to go to Fresno unless you absolutely have to. And as far as seeing more movies with this plan, think of it like the Netflixs business model. Our family subscribes to Netflixs, and we wind up watching many obscure movies that we would never see if we had to go out of our way to go to a theater that was screening them.
A projector that can cover a full sized movie screen is a lot different than a projector that we typically use to present power point slides at our weekly staff meeting, and the fact that it's 4096x2160 has little to do with that. Much more light, much bigger power supply, much more cooling, much bigger lenses, etc., all equal much more money.
Can you retrofit an existing film projector? Not really, unless you can come up with some way of creating a digital film frame that can sit in the film gate of an existing projector that has the necessary resolution, can be color calibrated, and can withstand the heat of the projector lamp focused on that square inch or so that covers the film gate. If you can invent that, I'll invest in your company. Otherwise, yeah, you pretty much have to scrap the entire film projector.
If a better OS came along since the start of the Voyager program, which I'm sure is true, I highly doubt that the Voyager crafts would get their disks wiped and a new OS installed, so to speak, while on their way to the edge of the solar system.
My high school was fortunate enough to have a great math teacher that taught college level calculus. Her classroom still had a giant slide rule mounted above the blackboard (this gives you an idea of how long ago it was), but she also realized, even back then, how important computers would come to be. In the back of the classroom there sat an ASR-33 Teletype, complete with paper tape punch and reader. It connection to some mainframe at, I believe, Penn State through a 110 baud connection. I spent untold hours after school in that classroom learning Basic. The programs had to be typed in my hand; if you wanted to save it for later you dumped it out to the paper tape punch.
I was 11. I remember that the nation's focus was on the space program, and this was quite a while before I really became aware of politics. The news was always about that next big step toward a moon landing.
It was a weekend, and my father, the TV hater that he was, was sitting along with us in front of the black & white TV watching the landing. This was the only time I ever saw him actually being amazed by something that he saw on TV. We all knew that the whole world was watching this, and that everything would be different from now on. To this day I still have that dog-eared copy of the local newspaper from the next day.

I agree, we should just shoot the next person that tries to pull us over. Better safe than sorry, and they had it coming.
