I couldn't agree more. We have a desperate shortage of qualified craftsmen in this country, especially machinists. I am always struggling to find qualified machinists.
It is not scientific because it is a lie. USADA refuses to release the actual test results, or substantiate their claim. And, their statement, if you parse it correctly, is fully consistent with a statement of opinion, and not scientific fact.
Lance Armstrong has never failed a drug test. That is a fact.
Twice as many people live below the poverty line, and even more don't have access to affordable health care, and we're pitching a fit about having fast access to a global computer network.
In the last 3 years, the number of people on food stamps has more than doubled, and the number of people with health insurance has declined in spite of the new health care law.
Our education system is also falling apart at the seams as our young people become less and less competitive, and less and less able to earn a living as a result, due to that failure.
If we're going to treat the speed of our internet connections as a national crisis, in spite of all these other substantial problems, I would propose we stop right now and re-examine our priorities.
They don't even advertise it as a security system. They advertise it as a deterrent. It is indicated for use with an existing security system as a visual deterrent.
According to the article, the malware looks for virtual machine files on the host PC (for example a windows box running VMWare Player) and mounts the image. It then adds itself to the image.
This is not a vulnerability in VMWare Player or ESXi. It's just a better mousetrap that mounts virtual hard disks and infects them.
I don't do BYOD in my business. I in fact encourage my employees NOT to work on their own time. Having adequate time with work out of focus makes them happier and more productive when they are at work.
Neither Mitt Romney nor Barack Obama are scientists. And, neither of them are going to be "in charge" of science policy. They are going to hire people to do that for them.
Why not get the people they would hire as science policy advisers to debate?
A science debate between Romney and Obama would be nothing more than a highlight of their personal beliefs about things like abortion, stem cell research, and so on, which we already know. Obama is pro-choice and Romney is pro-life. Obama is for stem cell research and Romney is against. Pretty predictable and straightforward stuff.
Neither would be able to speak to the nitty gritty that we care about.
Put our safety in the hands of equipment operating in unlicensed spectrum that can be interfered with by every microwave, cordless phone, and cell phone hotspot within 200 yards.
I've never seen such indecisiveness and direction-changing in a major corporation. How are they still in business after 20 years of being completely ADHD?
They must be doing pretty well selling $80000/gallon ink..
True, but I would think that to be an exception rather than the rule. Or, maybe I'm the one who is out of touch for wanting to get the most of my expenditures. After all, I tend to keep things as long as possible before replacing them. I still drive the car I bought in 1992...
It makes no sense to me to throw away a perfectly good computer that is a couple of years old, especially one that cost as much as a Macbook does, and when it still does what I need it to do just fine.
Honestly, they're not "sealed" to sell more hardware. Nobody in their right mind is buying a new $3000 laptop every three years.
The reasons are twofold:
1) It is easier to make the laptop thinner and smaller if it does not have to have the mechanics necessary to facilitate taking it apart (screws, bulkheads, etc), or to make it modular (why not just mount a bunch of SMT flash to the motherboard for a disk drive rather than have a 9mm thick 2.5" wide 3" long metal box with yet another circuit board in it? It's more profitable to just integrate everything on one board.
2) We're in a state of development where hardware is a decade or more ahead of software. There is too much computer and not enough problem. My Athlon X2 from 2005 does everything I need it to do, and will do so for years to come. So, why bother with upgrades anymore? They are unnecessary unless you're a hardcore gamer, in which case you're not buying a laptop.
We cannot allow the genetic modification of people to screen out "undesirable" traits, because guess who will ultimately get to decide what are undesirable traits? Why, the government, of course.
In the communications closet, you'll see a box labeled "Router" or something like that. Into it there will be plugged a cable labeled "AC" or "DC" or "Power."
The presence of abnormalities and the time and location they were observed does not prove they were caused by radiation.
It might be a reasonable conjecture, but it is not proof. When they can prove that these specific abnormalities were definitely caused by radiation that came from the plant (as opposed to natural sources), then we will have cause to be concerned.
If the same firms that sold the IPO stock at $38 were to make a tender offer for all outstanding shares at $31 (a ~50% premium), not only would people fall over themselves trying to take that deal, but the firms would make a tidy ~22% profit in just a couple of months.

... I am no longer capable of wiping my own ass, or stuff comes out of it without my knowledge or consent, whichever comes first.
What is done with all of the waste heat that is generated when the air is compressed?
I couldn't agree more. We have a desperate shortage of qualified craftsmen in this country, especially machinists. I am always struggling to find qualified machinists.
I don't see how that is relevant. We still need to worry about those things before we worry about universal high-speed access to the Internet.

Nothing to be pissed about here. Move along.

If you read the procurement doc, it requires that the contractor provide 3G services to the devices globally, forever.
That's not cheap.

The 80's called. They want their viruses back.

Simply remove that cable.
Not entirely true. China does occasionally show a card or two in their hand, like surfacing an attack sub in the middle of a US carrier strike group.
Mine's been running since this morning with 6 tabs open and is sitting right at 1.6GB.

Not too shabby, if you ask me.
Or, just buy a Nexus 7 and install the Kindle reading app. And, if you want REALLY open, download the one-click windows app to unlock and root it.
