"One NASA test subject who survived a 1965 accident in which he was exposed to near-vacuum conditions felt the saliva on his tongue begin to boil before he lost consciousness after 14 seconds"
sounds like after a few seconds in empty space, things get painful and gross!
There are not that many "doors" that will stand up to typical household deconstruction instruments. If you want to protect against those, you're already up to a vault-style room at least. If you have a more expensive lock on a regular door, you can expect that lock to be bypassed by brute force rather than whatever it would take to "pick" it.
It's cheaper in the sense that if you need a paper recount, you have to go back to paper voting anyhow. So basically a machine vote is synonymous with a machine + a paper vote. I think that's how the paper-only vote is cheaper.
I could care less if my wife wants to take up the DVR with her shows, as long as i can get at least one episode of what i want in there. Now, if it were really important to me, we'd discuss it in advance for some particular show. That's called open communication, which is the cornerstone of any marriage. If you can't come to an agreement about which freaking shows go on the DVR, then you probably shouldn't be married to each other.
If they don't want us to have the rights to content, why are they selling us the content on a disk? Does no one see how dumb this is? The summary makes it sound like they want me to pay 5 more dollars or something to take a DVD upstairs and play it vs. downstairs... there is just no chance people will pay it. Movie tickets are an example of a license to view that doesn't include a physical copy of the content, so I refuse to believe they don't know they're selling you your own copy of the content.
Don't all items already have a universal screener, i.e. the off button? We had "No t.v. week" when I was a kid, and I think it dramatically shaped my view on how (un)important TV really is. If you teach your kids to enjoy a variety of activities, I don't think they'll be all that affected by any of this supposed bad content. Besides, as always, if your kids really want to see the bad stuff, they'll all go over to "mikey's house" or whomever has the good stuff unblocked on their system.
My dad used to say, 'The US Government is the worst, except for all the others.' This feels like what Apple's argument is-- that because we have the best patent system, thus, our system must be good enough to rely on forever. Google seems to be saying that we don't have forever to resolve some issues our current patent system presents. I don't see Apple as having much of an argument to the broken elements of our patent system.
If they have this amazing tool for tracking people down, do they still get spam at HQ? If so, why not use this to catch the spammers and make them stop? Is it because they're all beyond jurisdiction now?
I know they don't break, that's why I said molly-guard type disaster. That means if someone turns the box off, it is like turning off 133 computers all at once. I'm not saying it happens much, but BRB's do get hit.
If the logs have to be searchable, don't they also have to remain "online" (i.e. can't move to backup?) Won't this just be a huge boon to storage manufacturers?
Now when something goes wrong, 133 server apps go down all at once! I know, Linux is stable, but a machine hosting 133 apps just sounds like a recipe for a molly-guard type disaster.
you could easily beat any hash of a video with a watermark hue shift of say, 1 value in the red. The video would be unintelligibly different to the naked eye, but each and every frame would be significantly different than an original based on the exact video hash. Is this not how it would work?
"All the cool stuff is made in Japan." Part of what you're seeing is not how "crappy" the American system is, but how awesome service is in say, Tokyo in particular. You can see some pretty incredible technology in San Francisco too, stuff that will never ever get to say, Mechanicsburg Ohio. US providers are tasked with nationwide competition and widely varying levels of tech adaptation. We have free wi-fi all over at the nearby shopping mall, but if you head out to farm country, you can't even get regular radio.
If this can be confirmed, then I hope Microsoft takes the hint... their PR always says if there really was a better alternative, that more people would buy that one.
All you'd have to do is bid 99 billion dollars, and you'd automatically win any auction, only paying a tiny fraction of your bid. That doesn't sound particularly fair to me.
It's not surprising that the slashdot crowd would confuse diamonds and CZ, but science aside, let me assure you, any woman will tell you there is a major difference between the two.
And I can tell you guys here, if you're (un?)lucky you'll find out there's several thousand noticeable "differences" between a 1 carat CZ and a 1 carat diamond...
And let's not forget that you can control it all with that wireless 360 motion controller... I dare you to imagine the ungodly interactive porn, won't someone think of the children!
as a generalist, you could qualify as "sysadmin" at a smaller shop, which because of their IT budget, usually means "guy that knows how to do everything for us". I'd emphasize creative problem-solving abilities and a drive to arrive at good solutions quickly.
Of course, you'll want to avoid coming off too arrogant -- no one wants to hire an I.T. jackass-of-all-trades, but we all know a few!
Facebook already knew this. Their "slick appearance" and easy integration with schools, etc. is really just a way to rope in a lot of customers, and play on people's vanity and insecurity in order to create a rich and detailed advertising market. How else do you find out for sure what movies people like? One easy way is to let them advertise what they think is "cool" to their friends. Isn't everything on Facebook just a cleverly (or not) disguised ad? IMHO they hope to derive most of their income from ad revenue (a la Google).

Joel was the man. IMHO, the problem with "the new guy" is that he's too animated to make the dead-pan humor most effective.
