Pure nonsense. And I actually looked at the link this time, not just the/. summary. From the website: You select a factoid that you would like notarized. We check that factoid, create a record of it that you can refer to later, and issue you a cryptographically-signed certificate that attests to that factoid.
That has nothing to do with notarizing. Notarizing is about witnessing and confirming that you (the signer of a document) are who you say you are. It has nothing to do with the the accuracy of the document itself. I could write a deed selling you the Brooklyn Bridge and a notary could perfectly legally notarize it, all they would be doing is affirming that I was the person who signed it. Notarizing something has absolutely nothing to do with confirming that the information contained in the notarized document is accurate. This "service" seems to want to confirm facts, but I don't see anywhere that it manages to confirm who it was that electronically signed something. So it is not notarizing at all.
So now a big public investment in building and maintaining these ridiculous charging stations. In just a few weeks they will all be vandalized. And all of this for people with iPhones that don't want to bother to plan ahead for themselves.
It would be far wiser to set up public phones, either wired or wireless (or both), that people could use for free in a declared emergency and could use at other times for minimal costs if they are too poor to pay the outrageous cell phone charges in this country. Of course, in NYC, if you cover a network with ruggedized pay phones. most will be vandalized. And they don't even have interesting parts that the vandals might want, such as fragile expensive solar panels.
Oh well., I expect that several people at least managed to skim off a lot of money for themselves on this absurd project. I'll be laughing my ass off when the next disaster hits these people with their homes in known flood planes when they express surprise that something went wrong with this new system.
Here in North Carolina, even without on-line voting, we have several unicorns and many people over 150 years of age who vote by Absentee ballot. Most of them seem to be Democrats.
It is a crime to vote multiple times. That crime will not be prosecuted. It is a much bigger crime to expose that the system is corrupt and open to fraud. That crime will be prosecuted.
The claim is even worse than that. The article claims that he built a fusion reactor, not a fission reactor. I expect that there is a healthy dose of Wyoming male cattle waste, and that the actual project contains a lot of "if.... then...." and other imaginary "science".
What? You say that you caught me breaking into the CIA, FBI, the White House and another unnamed three letter agency? Naw, I was just participating in the Government sanctioned Bug Bounty Program. Proudly helping my country protect itself from evil-doers. If you don't believe that then I declare a fatwa on you and I want my Imam, I mean Lawyer.
The old Compose interface was fine. I find the new Compose interface crippling, there are several things that I do in Gmail that just don't seem to be there in the new Compose interface, at least I can't find them with a lot of searching. Yes, you can switch back to the old Compose interface, I did that months ago. Lately I've started getting messages that the old Compose interface is going away and I better learn to use the new one. Not that I object to learning something new, although I shouldn't have to if the old one is fine, but the new one doesn't seem to support some very basic functions. Of course, this isn't presenting a problem for the people at Google who help us out and support the product, because there is no one at Google who supports the product and apparently no way to even give them feedback on the problems with the new interfaces.
I'm still fighting with the new "Compose" interface. Was just showing someone how to use Gmail the other day and after I had expanded the tiny thing to fill the screen we couldn't even find the BCC control. And I can't find where in the new Compose interface to change the "From" setting, I use one with a simple nickname when sending to friends and family and a different one with my full name for more formal mails, but the only way that I could do that after the change was to switch back to the old interface, and now it has started warning me that the old Compose Editor is going away. So now they want to muck with the inbox AGAIN. The company is getting more evil every day.
Found the computer science center at school on my own, fascinated by the 026 keypunches everyone was using. A class later gave out a name and account number, but then stated we could use it but that they were not going to teach programming. I got a Guide to Fortran IV Programming by Daniel D. McCracken and taught myself. Programming involved punching out a stack of punch cards and them submitting them into waiting trays, Every few hours a trained monkey would wheel in a cart and take away all of the full trays. A couple more hours later the cards and printed output would be deposited in numbered bins. You typically would see an error that the compiler caught, punch more cards, and start the cycle again. I eventually moved up to the much faster ASR33s and KSR33s, where after you edited and submitted it, your job might only wait in the queue for 10-20 minutes before it got a chance to compile (longer if it actually got through the compiler and got a chance to run). I taught myself how to read and modify CDC-6500 assembly code at the octal level for my hacking interests, and could patch existing code for some hacking needs, but it wasn't until the summer when I found a decent library book that really explained machine language well that I was actually able to write my one assembly code (in spite of a poorly presented after-hours free class on assembly for the CDC-6500, which really didn't get the key points across).
This, of course, was long before the C64 or Vic 20 or other personal computers. My first "personal computer" was a PDP-20, assembled from scrapped boards where I repaired many of them myself. At the time, electrical engineers at the company where I was working would hear about it and ask questions like "You have a WHAT?" and "What in the world do you use a computer for at home?". People who had their own computers at home were strange and to be talked about in whispers.A couple of years later the the first Altair came out and there started to become more of us, although I had already been playing with the 4004 chip by then.
Maybe there should be some sort of registry available where companies like Microsoft could look to see if anyone was using the name that they wanted before they announced it to the world, then if it was already owned they could decide if it might not be better to pick a different name. And, of course, if it was available they could register it moments before the name was announced. If such a thing existed then Microsoft would have no good excuse for using the name and it would be obvious that they were just bullies and decided to go ahead and use the name anyway because they could roll out their lawyers and take whatever they wanted.
Just an aside, I happen to know the guy who long ago registered the name "Gateway.com" for his computer/telecommunication business. This was back when it was just a telecommunication term. There was a company who made computers and also liked the term, they called the company "Gateway 2000". Eventually they realized that the year 2000 was fast approaching and that they couldn't stop it and by 2001 their name would look pretty silly. So they changed the company name to Gateway. And then they went after him because he was using "their" domain. Their lawyers made his life miserable, and as far as I know he "settled" but never got anything for his property that was taken except an agreement of some donation to "charity".
Yes, but the previous post said nothing about lighting a hydrogen balloon, only about popping a balloon. And most lighter than air balloons are inert helium balloons, not hydrogen balloons. You might as well suddenly talked about lighting a gunpowder filled balloon. Beside, your an A.C., so no one really cares if you burn yourself or not.
it's not an explosive any more than a popping balloon is.
Yes it is. Aside from the fact that a balloon doesn't involve dangerous sharp or caustic parts flying in all directions, popping a balloon doesn't involve a chemical reaction. This draino bomb does indeed involve a chemical reaction. In that sense it is little different than any other chemical reaction. True, the draino-aluminum reaction is slower as pressure builds up, but in the end there is a dangerous violent burst (intentionally) caused by a chemical reaction.
Yup, even though you are hiding behind being an A.C., those are pretty much my thoughts too, although you forgot to mention to call it an "experiment" rather that a risk to the safety of others.
Too bad the Democrat Tierney didn't get his idea from the Matt Helm movie, I think it was The Silencers. Much better and lower tech solution for when the bad guy gets your gun.
Gtalk is a small light memory demand application. I generally set it up to run whenever a computer boots. A browser is much more memory intensive. To use the Gmail page as a Gtalk client you not only would have to keep the browser running whenever someone else might want to talk to you, but you would have to keep a browser window open on your Gmail page. And aside from the memory demand issue, that could also be a big security issue, particularly if you want to be available from computers that others might get access to, such as from work. I don't log out of my computer every time that I go to get a coffee refill, and don't want to, and sometimes those little trips outside of one's office can turn into multi-hour meetings or firefights. I wouldn't want to get into the habit of leaving my browser logged into my personal mail account (or have to have multiple ones that my friends are expected to search through to find me), it is just too much of a security risk.
Shame on you Google. I've used Gtalk since it was released. I don't care about the cross platform communication much, but do have a few friends that I know connected to me through other platform. I have convinced several rather computer illiterate friends to use Gtalk so that we could keep in touch by IMs and know when each other was available, introducing them to Google and getting them a Google account in the process. I have no interest in Google's "social media" offerings, or any social media platform for that matter, including Facebook (let the NSA get their info on me in other ways, I'm not going to do their job for them). I really don't even know what Google Hangouts is, but the name tells me that I don't want to know and I will not switch to it when Gtalk goes away (although that seems to not even be an option since my main desktops usually run Windows).
So the NSA had no clue what was going on in tax law? They are kind of the agency that is supposed to know what is going on, were they too busy reading everyone's Facebook pages?
Or everyone should be exempt from a law because they didn't expect it and didn't plan for it (can you say Obamacare?)?
Or the NSA can't imagine who is really going to end up paying this tax bill?
It means that if you could get the apk package you might be able to install and run it, but for the vast majority of packages that you want you will not be able to get the file because it is released through the Googlr Play store and you will not ave access to Google Play with this device.
I have heard the term then yet unreleased but what does then yet released mean? Is this something like flammable and inflammable meaning the same thing?
Clearly the creators are confused. When big media takes something and uses it, that is just fine and everyone should look the other way. But if they (the big media maffia) even accuse anyone of taking something of theirs (or even that they would like to be theirs but really isn't) then that person is guilty and owes them irrational amounts of compensation.
