i guarantee you that when north korea (or iran) is confirmed to having a nuclear weapon, you won't see the US bullying these countries around anymore. They only do because they can. U.S. and its allies are bound to find out the hard way that you get more flies with honey than with vinegar. And in all honestly why should any country put down their nuclear weapon (or dev of) when we got the thousands of nukes pointed right at them. They'll put their gun down when we put down ours. The US, Britain, every ally, needs to start dismantling their nukes as a gesture. And i dont mean 5 years from now after red tape, I mean now.
i can tether my phone to any computer for $15 extra bucks a month. whether that's reasonable enough to drop [insert bane of your existance home provider here] for the drastic speed difference and limited cap is debatable.
According to the article it exploded in 2005, but if it's 200 million light years away, doesn't than mean the event happened 200 million years ago and we're just seeing the light from it now?..but I could be way off base here.
My question here is, what does the policy really ban? Illegal drugs i can see. Underage drinking, smoking, sure. They're all illegal things in the real world. But even a prescription drug, why would this be banned in a school? kids have honest to god illnesses that require prescription drugs. Are they all required to get exemptions or have some sort of note? And if so, why?
I wonder why she threw that last bit in there. It suggests, to me, that her (organization's) larger goal is to neutralize the pornography industry, not just to limit it to adults.
what else is new? The ATF has been doing that with the tobacco/smoking industry for years.
Hmm, what does "finish it" really mean? finish it before a deadline? because to me, if you have changes, especially bug fixes, they all should go in before it's "finished". I don't care if it adds a year to your release schedule.
Granted, i'm not privy to the intricacies of microsoft release requirements, but seems to me, release the product when the consensus among dev. teams and feedback users is that it's ready for it. That's kind of what makes linux, esp. kernel dev. great. There's very little corporate pressure. They should have just forgone Vista and kept working on until Windows 7 or further. Did we really need a new windows operating system? Do we now? How many are still going to be running Windows XP when Windows 7 comes out? I know I and my company will. We gain nothing good from Vista and will gain nothing from Windows 7. Give us something revolutionary..we'll wait.
but then since both are flying, wouldn't you have to hyphenate it, like married women do?
A flying 'blimp-camper'.
And while it is cool, i don't believe this is really an earth-shattering discovery. Matter of fact, I've been traveling in flying tubes for quite some time now. And more so, the cabin below an airship is already called a car, so don't we already have a flying car? And what is a car really...?:-)
Any smart admin with the freedom and capabilities shouldn't even be deploying Adobe Reader. We can get into the details, but basically Adobe's reader is too bloated with unneeded features and memory usage problems to be useful, even on today's computers. People should be running something like Foxit's reader instead.
Speaking of competition, what discussion is complete without mentioning the Chevy Volt? Still the gold standard for the emerging industry, it will be anyone's guess if it lives up to the hype.
While i agree with most of your post, this statement is a bit of a contradiction. For something to be a "gold standard" it has to first be released and in proven use AFAIC. Otherwise, it's not really anything other than a standard that may or may not work well.
So we found ice..big deal. got lots of ice here. Find a 5-headed monster on mars and you'll get my attention, otherwise, move along, nuthin to see here.
If they simply cap the monthly usage @250GB and give me a means to see how much i'm currently using in the month (via their web page, for example), i actually have no problem with this cap. But if they say the cap is 250GB AND we're gonna impose a limited-rate of up to 800Kb/s so you don't go over your 250GB cap, then i have a big problem, [dreaming]unless they give me the 800Kb/s as a CIR:-)[/dreaming]
If they failed to back up the emails/lost/deleted them by accident/stupidity, they're criminally negligent. If they did it on purpose, they're criminal.
Either way, they should be smacked down, end of story.
The software then makes random decisions (which are thankfully based on calculated probabilities of terrorist attacks RANDOM decisions based on CALCULATED probabilities??
Isn't a decision based on something that's culculated inheritedly also calculated?
The only way it's random is if it's not based on anything. And anything calculated can be figured out.
that will be used at LAX Airport to make security and police operations there truly unpredictable. maybe unpredictable even to security?
"Joe, aren't we supposed to be in sector 5?"

oh please, noone who has read their Comcast TOS recently believes they have unlimited service. and any internet savvy user has realized for some time now that the number of ISPs that actually offer literal 'unlimited' service in regards to bandwidth is few and far in between.
every ISP over-susbscribes its bandwidth, and advertises services in their main print that they can't live up to, hence the fine print.
it's like those coupons for dept. stores that say in big letters, '15% off everything in the store', and then go on to say in fine print, 'except brand x, brand y, brand z, etc..'
not that it all pisses me off any less.
how about showing us some large hadrons colliding (and maybe a higgs boson), instead of having to wait until august of 2008? or better yet, wait until august 2008..could there be a better date for an open day, that they can actually show us what it can DO rather than just what we started building 10+ years and 2.6 billion francs ago.
This is a very interesting question. I cannot see how they can take legal action against the club. I don't think (but i could be wrong) that a person's fingerprint has any protection under the law. It's not copyrighted (although the image of the fingerprint can be copyrighted by the club). To me, the fingerprint is public domain. If the government wants to combat this, they should enact a law to say that fingerprints are considered 'trademarks'. Although that usually applies to single business use, i'm sure they could write a provision in for personal use.
windows update (at least in a AD group-policy enabled environment) does not need admin privs to install updates. I managed a network with 75+ users and noone but IT had admin privs and windows update had no problem installing updates on said non-admin users computers.
to be honest, i couldn't care less if they take my fingerprint, embed me with a chip, monitor my phone calls, or whatever. As long as it doesn't slow all my life processes down, in this case, me checking in, getting on the plane, etc.. i dont care. It should only matter to you if you have something to hide/did something wrong. If you want stop them from doing this, forget about protests and demonstations, that won't get you anywhere. People have been having things like anti-war protests for decades, where has it gotten us? The government and media saying that the war is unpopular. The sentiment is not working very well at the moment. Write your rep. or senator, they're the people with the only real power to do anything in a republic (this speaking from the USA sense anyway).
I wonder if cave-man meteorologists did this before the last Ice Age. I can see the Global Cooling news now.. "Well, it seems 2,000,000 B.C. was the coolest year we've had since 2,000,010 B.C. This isn't looking so good. Stock up on your moose meat and women."

He's a supervisor and he can't fix the problem or escalate it? Are you kidding me??

well, their nuclear power program is to address their growing energy needs.

Why would you need a raid 51 redundancy with exhibitor stands? Striping and mirroring is just a waste of materials in this case.

nope, it's the cave-men operating system.
