But what does Windows do? Well, it's an operating system, etc. etc.
No, the underlying operating system was single-tasking MS-DOS on top of which Windows offered... windows for multi-tasking. Just like the X Windowing System did for UNIX.
the problem with any bike man powerd or not drivers in the usa do not respect them.
No, the problem is the lack of proper infrastructure separating different forms of traffic. In my city pedestrians, bicycles and automobiles each have their own space, we only cross each other at designated crossings.
The telnet protocol itself doesn't give you access either, that all depends on what kind of shell (if any) and privileges (if any) you attach to it.
The reason why I mentioned the other protocols is that access to the files and data available through those can be harmful enough to an organisation. Potentially more harmful than user privileges on a server with resource limits and no exploitable software installed.
Does it even count as hacking? Running a telnet service should count as granting random people authorised access.
No more than running an FTP, SMTP, POP, IMAP or HTTP service without proper SSL/TLS/digest enhancements. All of them still industry standards, even the bare versions. But that's okay, the more ICT incompetence on this planet the more money I/we can make, right?
people naive enough that they thought connecting online and offline identities was a good idea.
That, or maybe it was never a good idea to have them disconnected in the first place. We ordinarily don't assume different identities on other communication media either.
I don't think we could even hit an *average* of three mere misdemeanors committed per American per day.
Indeed, we'll never reach just three of them on average, the number is probably way higher. Speeding, littering, jaywalking, blasphemy... oh yes, way higher.
We vote for leaders, rather than vote on issues. I usually think that I'd much prefer to vote on issues, but considering how ignorant or misinformed people are on scientific issues, it would in fact be a bad idea to let the general public best decide on issues like this.
Exactly. In California voters get to vote on individual propositions and they don't seem to be off much better than the rest, actually that state is in terrible shape. Unfortunately most politicians seems to be ignorant or misinformed as well, so having representatives instead of direct democracy appears to be flawed as well. Catch-22.
I just want to see my PS3 play PS3 games, connect to netflix, and play any movies/music I have on my Windows network without having to setup a DLNA server and transcode (i.e.: let me install the codecs).
Linut Mint (an Ubuntu variant) ships with all the codes, just run PMS on it and you're ready to go. It's definitely not the PS3 being difficult here.
Even with the motor running, a coasting car can be hard to hear.
Making noise is the shittiest of workarounds and by no means a fix.
Our local approach, now that's a solution: we build infrastructure for different types of traffic while minimizing yet clearly marking level crossings. There are virtually no busy roads without sidewalks within city limits where I live, most even have parallel bicycle lanes as well. I can safely frollick across town with earplugs in playing loud music: other than the designated crossings I simply don't share infrastructure with bikes or cars. And therefore am not at risk of running into them or vice versa in the first place.
Decades are no different per se. The first decennium of the 21st century is 2001 through 2010. That the naughties are 2000 through 2009 does not negate this: it's a completely different kind of decennium which just happens to overlap for nine years.
Of course a crushing worry will introduce anxiety. In stressful times, people will be stressed. So I'm not sure what you're asking, other than idle chit-chat of anxiety anecdotes.
Anyway, it's certainly not specific to IT. Guess who else deal with standby time: doctors, police, flight attendants, engineers and service crews in other fields (transportation, organised events, most restaurants and bars). Each of which having to deal with systems far less redundant and scalable than what we can set up in IT.
Why shouldn't advancements in distributed efforts count as supercomputer design? Space, power and cost reduction are all there, cloud computing is not only about scalability but definitely also about efficiency.
Last I checked most scientists in the field no longer even accept the big bang as likely. They consider it the same "something from nothing" unanswer as religions offer, looking for a cyclic model instead.:D
Because the e-mails that social network sites send are not unsolicited but sent by request from and on behalf of a real person who already has and has verified your e-mail address.
Then why not rally against Skype, in favour of SIP?
Amen. SIP providers have given me better rates than SkypeOut for years now. I keep Skype around for those who insist on using it to reach me, but I'd rather switch them to vendor-neutral VoIP.
The other end of the potential market would be people who already have a PS3 but really want Wii-like controls, but how many people does that segment represent? How many people who play Final Fantasy 28 on their PS3 finish playing that for 912 hours straight and then say "gee, I wish I could do Wii bowling on this console"?
There's two answers to that: not many (US) and many (Europe).
Consider this: Sony sold just 1.5 million copies of Singstar in the US, but over 16 million in Europe. Those are exactly the kind of gamers who will get a Move for their family or friend game nights.
Is it only us Europeans these days who know that your Civil War was fought to maintain the union and not to forcefully abolish slavery? That doesn't step on your point of course, it's still a political goal achieved by violence. But ending slavery wasn't the political goal. Nor has it been achieved, it has returned in the current world now that we've managed to outsource it.
A very long time. Mass travel depends on desirable destinations and there simply aren't any in LEO or space: it's in and quickly out. Completely incomparable with the frontiers on earth as those at least had the potential to be settled, did get settled and turned into purposeful destinations. Until we get space hotels, moon bases and mines... cheap space travel is simply not going to happen.

It can't be that simple.
It strengthens valid alibis, not forged ones.
I don't know but its better having it there than on A: drive.
Not if you want a mobile website.

Three articles in a row casting doubt on Android in one way or the other... really, Rob?

Any evidence for precognition instantly takes precognition into the scientific realm and out of the paranormal, supernatural and occult.

Did anyone else read that or is it just me with a one track mind?
And mark your existing backups read-only. Although that might require an OS which wouldn't run this malware anyway.
How is that relevant to the original 12-hour clock?
