Really, paper seems to be the best way even though it might take a couple of days. But......knowing Comcast, they will probably just ax you, and tell you about it later.
Yeah, IBM ran the government out of money finally. Don't think any large company is a good guy. It's just a giant machine for making money and that's it.
But I have heard that the growth is exponential just like fusion reactors to make it with. So I don't think we have that to worry about for a while unless the military wants to build antimatter weapons or something.
Also, it might be possible to find it, instead of making it. Just an idea.
True enough for malware. Like someone else said, Firefox plus ABP seems to help properly trained people going to a legit site and then downloading and installing this stuff because of addsense and other adds that make their way to legit sites that way.
I will check it out but most of the commercial stuff is pretty poor at stopping malware.
Most states have this in place with heavy fines. It's bad enough that people talk on the phone while driving let alone text.
The only way I see them being caught, is for them to have a car wreck which they sure as hell probably will if they text and drive. Maybe the feds will have the added bonus of loosing your job. So it's probably not if but when they wreck if they text.
--Maybe you can simulate a protein which will kill everyone, but it doesn't do shit to help you make a nuke.--
You can simulate whether it will work or not without doing an actual test, that can be detected by other nations like the US. Look, you're right, Iran IS the largest threat. If they have just one working bomb, what's to stop them them from testing in New York harbor about a container ship if they can design a working one without performing a test? I know that they could probably make a gun device and U-238 without computers as well.
I'm only saying that what used to cost a lot of money AND was a big deal to make, is not so much of a big deal any more.
The math for this is easy. It's just grunt work that computers can do very well. It has to do with, you know the amount of calculations per second that a human with a slide rule can't do.
So if Iran doesn't test a bomb and one just happens to go off in one of our port cities, how do we know who to retaliate against?
The other options of us doing a first strike to prevent Iran from having a bomb or letting Israel do it, are bad choices.
So for your answer as to my point, is that too much technology without moral restraint is bad. I also am now coming to believe that if a device can be made that has a really good use, that also a really bad use will eventually be found it as well.
--I told you, you daft idiot. Superpower nations are the only nations which have the resources to build highly efficient devices--the kind of which you would like the help of a supercomputer to design. India (by all rights a third world country) has tested only one very low yield fusion device.--
Tested is the term here. Who knows what they have that they haven't tested? BTW what is a daft idiot? If that is something good and bad at the same time then you get my point.
We'll if the AntiVirus software were to make it that easy to remove with the uninstaller, then a virus could do the same thing. The real problem I have is most of this stuff being a resource hog. With the corporate version of McAfee, you can't hardly do a save as without having to wait 5 minutes. I will be so glad when our licenses for that program expire. Maybe we will try Norton next, I don't know. We want it to work, and not be more resource intensive than video editing, you know.
We'll silly that's because the atmosphere cools the molten lava off and it forms rocks before they hit the ground;~()
OR....maybe the molecules get stimulated from a liquid to a solid by solar flares. Yeah, that's it. There's your answer. You know like when you fart rocks you get asteroids.
I would say if you have any money to convert to Euros, you should do so. I have heard some comments that this is because the dollar is not based upon gold anymore. We'll the Euro isn't based upon anything other than faith. The dollar is really based upon oil as most oil payments are made this way. This is bad news for us. Also many other countries no longer have faith in the dollar and will be dumping it sooner rather than later. This has been happening since the dot com bubble and the lowering of interest rates to the point that no one in their right mind would want to put their savings in a bank CD.
Therein lies one of the biggest disappointments in Obama for m,e as he has more or less continued the policy of the Bush administration in this area instead of fixing infrastructure, maybe not giving money to failures, and fixing things the way the people want, he has still been listening to the same people as Bush did.
We'll, this may not be what everyone wants to hear, but the only choices we have to generate energy are bad, but the least bad that will work right now is nuclear fission. So the big challenge is to convince the leadership that renewable energy alone cannot meet the need currently.
Yeah, and I don't think you understand the infrastructure problems in the US with some of the electrical grid at 100 years old. I know what you are saying, but the infrastructure to generate the electricity also needs to be addressed, because there will be a substantial increase in demand.
--"The first sale doctrine is only triggered by an actual sale. Accordingly, a copyright owner does not forfeit his right of distribution by entering into a licensing agreement."--
You the man on this one. This has nothing to do with movies or music. That's a sale. CAD packages are always licensed. If anyone out there wants to start an open source project in CAD that is serious, I would be interested.
But this is old news. AutoDesk doesn't have a click and agree agreement only. You can only get this stuff through a dealer. Usually, student versions are free although they might print with a watermark or not print at all. No legit company would even think about buying CAD through Ebay, so I don't see what the issue is, except that there currently is no open source software that really does the job. If there were, we would switch everything over and pay someone to maintain it, train us, etc.
So, if you all think this is bad, there is one sure fire method of stopping it. Write your own. FWIW, you can do a lot of stuff these days with the free version of SketchUp. I know, before anyone says anything about Kerkythea or Blender, that stuff is all great for what it's for, but there could be more open source packages on the CAD side of things.
All CAD companies have this clause. Some have better terms than others for transferring a license to another entity. So yeah, they are assholes but what can you do? This is an old issue that has been decided in their favor a long time ago. It's not news, it's happened before, and the same thing happened.
I thought the US military still had the largest block op IP addresses though. Who exactly contributed on TCP/IP outside the us? I'll grant you, that the WWW and a whole host of other things were developed outside the US but TCP/IP? I believe that goes back to 1957.

Huh, HAHAHA. Outside contractors HeHEhe. So Captain Morgan must be a contractor for Microsoft. Now I get it.
Will it do Linux?

I can't see a need for this either, but do see a need for copyrights.

Thanks for the info. I will check out their corporate system.

--Assuming it was square because I'm too lazy for math today, that's about 300,000 cubic meters.--
Area of a circle = pi * diameter
A = 3.14159 * 2000M
A = 6283.18sqM
Volume = Depth * Area
V = 75M * 6283.18sqM
V = 471238.5 Cubic Meters
So you are off a little there. About 36% off I would guess, and there is that doomsday weapon buried somewhere.
--Anyone know what it is in elephants ?--
Asteroids of course.
--Why doesn't it rain lava?--
We'll silly that's because the atmosphere cools the molten lava off and it forms rocks before they hit the ground ;~()

I think Communism is still alive and kicking.
This is just one more reason to stock up on tin foil.

You should have been modded insightful for this comment.
No, we just discover it.
Yeah, things are reversed all the time. It just depends upon who is in charge. Even the Supreme's do this in time.
