If it wasn't for the mindless bug in the trial period timer. On the 60 day trial version, you could set the date on your machine to current+10 years, install it, run it once, set the date back to current and have a trial period of 10years+60 days. I did it. And I wasn't the only one.
Although it does not appear in the Wikipedia definition, it is common for all US military vets that served in the deterrence of the Soviet nuclear threat to call themselves Cold Warriers. I kept Pershing tactical nukes operational during the early 70's. They were in Southern Germany and their purpose was to defend against a Red Army attack from the east. I have several friends that served in similar roles.
I'd love to have widely adopted secure end-to-end non-reputable email, but I think it will be a cold day in hell before *any* government will support a standard that doesn't permit them to read the email at will.
I built and used scanning electron microscopes back in my distant youth. We always referred to microscopes as "light" or "electron" or even "ion" (yes, we built a prototype ion microscope). All of these have optics in the form of lenses and apertures and could correctly be called optical microscopes.
To determine the airworthiness of the shuttles. Then the real question would be whether or not the FAA could possibly gather the balls to issue airworthiness and pilot certificates. It's a very interesting question. If it could be done, it might greatly speed the privatization of space.
If you believe "The Bell Curve", which I do, IQ selects for all of the positive attributes listed in the article. What's the correlation between IQ and self-control? And why is it ignored?
That this is more of a "make-work" project than anything else. Last shuttle flight is coming up, then everyone goes home. What better way to give them all a 3 month bonus than to find some previously-undiscovered issue.
These aerospace materials are extensively tested, analyzed and inspected. Paperwork with melt number, lot number and names of everyone that ever touched the material are kept.
I've pulled data off of real floppies that were at least 20 years old. I keep an old ISA/pre ATX motherboard, power supply and drive for such work. It's worth noting that there is vast quantities of old DEC mini and mainframe software preserved on the web, much of it from long-gone formats such as Dectape, paper tape and 7-track magtape.
About deregulation and about how my butt still hurts from the Enron assrape. I'm normally a free-market kind of guy, but I learned a lesson on this one.
Not gonna happen.
Just like cheap digital audio gear didn't cause an audio Renaissance and cheap video gear didn't cause a video Renaissance.
Creative people create despite the cost and obstacles. Lowering cost and obstacles doesn't cause more people to create, it generally just creates more mediocrity. Like YouTube.
In the case of the Travis accident, there was no nuclear disaster precisely because the nuclear core was not loaded. The Air Force was all too aware of the number of B-29's that crashed on or shortly after takeoff and never armed the weapons until they were close to the target area. To call this a "close call" is simply fear mongering to get page hits.
Bullshit.
*Every* time I've seen a lawyer (4 or 5 times), I've had to explain in detail not only the situation but fairly explicit descriptions of how I think that the law or contract was broken and how I'd like to proceed. One incredibly lame-ass IP lawyer couldn't understand the difference between a copyright action and a trademark issue. Now he was the exception, but a good example of why you damn sure want to know where you're going with this before you start spending $300 hours at the lawyer.
... Which brings me to my second point: This article says nothing about what this researcher actually did. It sounds like he just fabricated an array of nanodots, which is nothing particularly groundbreaking.
Exactly. And I had to wade through about 10 pages of silly off-topic comments to find confirmation of that. Thank you Game, thank you lame moderators.
Splitting the two seems like an unfortunate way to let otherwise socially responsible geeks do morally questionable things. Keep the two groups together. Let them be totally aware that they are spies and there is a heavy price for deception and living a lie.

Let's just turn that around. You're the boss and your employee writes that code. I'd think it would be a bug now...
Right. Coward.

Sorry, they ran out of X3 numbers last week.

Am glad that Android is a more popular mobile platform than a female masturbation device.

I asked a reasonable question after reading the entire article. How's that self-control issue of yours working out?

Decide for yourself...
Surely spoken by a person who never had to fly a course by one...

Just my opinion.
And you read that off of an NSA press release?

The hardware is very elegant and well-done. The guy is a multi-talented geek of the highest order.
