Specifically, which base and which commander? (Actually, answering the first answers the second, so just cite the base involved.)
I'm pretty sure MAC (the Air Force transport command at the of DS) had many bases supporting munitions airlift, and I doubt every single one has a golf course that (A) has potential to be affected by higher takeoff/landing tempo, and (B) was prioritized above increased ops tempo.
And yes, if you wish to be snide about it, please, "LMGTFY" it. It'd still be an improvement above bare unsupported assertions, especially with something that sounds suspiciously like an urban legend. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, but I'll settle for a google search.
Wait, are you postulating some alternate universe in which Microsoft is willing to leave revenue on the table?
IRL, Microsoft would license its own grandmother to businesses on a yearly per-processor basis. And audit rigorously to make sure you're not getting more grandmother than you've paid for.
If MS develops a patented technology which is appealing to some other well-heeled segment of the technology market, even if MS isn't planning to get into that market space itself, I'm sure it'd be MORE than happy to get its per-unit slice of license revenue goodness.
By that logic Iron Mountain is a bad idea, nevermind that every bank uses them to provide off site storage for their backups.
And that should scare the crap out of Iron Mountain and other fairly large and reputable offsite storage businesses. They should probably get their lawyers off their asses and file amicus briefs defending the applicability of the 4th Amendment to leased offsite data storage... otherwise, next time, it might be them, and I'm sure their customers know it. The phrase "secure offsite storage" loses much of its marketing strength if you have to put an asterisk after "secure" explaining that all bets are off if the feds decide to go for a bit of a troll in all that backup data.
Well, I guess you mill around trying to get into your locker. And if you talk to the cops running the investigation, they get suspicious of you and refuse to let you into your locker, and extend the warrantless investigation into it. And then arrest you for the heroin they planted there.
Of course, the 4th Amendment and Due Process are actually pretty well understood in the physical world... but on the Intarwebs, all bets are off. Physicality, tangible ownership, and premise are apparently all that matter.
So if your data matters, own the hardware it resides in, and at least rent (if not own outright) the property the hardware resides in. Apparently, no other circumstance is eligible for due process.
You know what? Whether "slightly moistened" or "submerged in high-concentration saline until dead, dead, dead"... under no circumstance does "burst into flame" enter the roster of "acceptable failure modes".
Sorry. Yeah, the cause of the failure was extraordinary, but how these cars failed went waaaay beyond that.
Seriously. "Halt and catch fire" is a joke. Doing it in real life is the exact diametric opposite.
And I supposed the hypothetical* high-dollar white-collar (criminal CxO, for instance) should be able to appeal a prison sentence because prison uniforms are unfashionable and machine-made. And uniform. And doesn't have the right brand labels.
*I say "hypothetical" because it seems pretty rare that a CxO actually ever goes to prison... but it does happen
Good point. The way Apple complied earlier was prominently displaying the mandated notice"in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of The Leopard'.'"
This seems like a fitting case study in "When Companies Get All Passive-Aggressive".
Interesting. "Empathy" usually implies (imprecisely) "sympathy", and the desire to help out the person you're empathizing with. But I guess from a from a strict technical construction, "Sucks to be you" and walking away counts as empathy.
Interesting. I'm trying to figure out if your idea would incentivize or disincentivize the already huge capital and market barriers to entry to new players in a system. Also, why I'm talking like a brain-damaged MBA when I'm supposed to be an engineer. Sigh. Intellectual property makes everyone stupid.
The Blizzard developers didn't make a mistake, they just didn't think about all the consequences that debuff would cause in a world-like environment.
I don't know if I can agree with that. The mistake Blizz made was not considering the particular corner case that enabled this in-raid debuff to escape to the larger world: a player character's combat pet (hunter or warlock, back then) goes into "time suspension" when dismissed, and carries all debuffs applied to it up to that moment into suspension. That's a known mechanic in the software, and there had already been at least one earlier exploitation of that effect to carry an in-raid area-of-effect damage mechanic outside of the raid it was designed for...so Blizz had some warning that it was possible.
Failing to think of exploitable corner cases is pretty much the canonical definition of a game design mistake.
A cyincal systems architect friend of mine has a very acute observation: "There are no lessons learned, there are just lessons."
Unmodded xbox users are simply stuck with it. So in that regard, they are the vulnerable group.
Yeah. I don't play BL2, so I don't know the community, but I wouldn't be surprised if ambushing unsuspecting non-modded players with Badassed permadeath became (or already is) a griefing practice. Certainly seems lulz-ish.
I'm rockin' my Droid 4 for that very reason. Insisted on a slider, happy with it every day, and that's even in spite of Verizon's tendency towards general-purpose control freakery.
Interesting. I saw that too. Perhaps de-Stalinization is under way? Did Cook give a secret speech to the Apple Party Soviet this past year? Will Steve Wozniak be rehabilitated?
That's all very nice... but the systems in the museum in TFA are a part of my personal history, whereas what you're talking about is of merely academic interest to me.
If I have to choose between talking to someone else about their life experiences, even if they are the coolest old-school EEs in the universe, or actually reliving my own life experiences... gosh, I guess I'm selfish, but I'll actually indulge in personal nostalgia, thanks. I enjoyed my time hacking PDPs and the like, and that takes precedence for me.
However, I would make a point of taking up your suggestion as perhaps the second place to visit. Maybe third.
I think the Apple's intent was more like:
[whatever] [huh?] Don't not avoid disabling allowing the negation of overriding the activation of non-limited targeted consumer-friendly marketing assistance
That's a demonstration of the opportunity costs of learning economics and chemistry: you never had a chance to learn about UTF-8.
And more specifically, slashdot's ancient and creaking codebase that doesn't understand it and translates the 16-bit character code into two single-byte charcters in another character encoding.
Hold on a sec. Let me summarize the exchange I just heard.
A: Bennet's mass e-mailing is getting blocked. B: He should just put it on the web. A: No, the web page will be blocked, while mail isn't easily blocked.
And maybe that's the real damning point. Reiser was arrogant enough to murder, but not clever enough to get away with it. I'm not sure I want a system-level software product of a mentality like that. The phrase
"too clever by half" comes to mind... clever enough to attempt something dangerous to my files, but not clever enough to actually make it succeed.

I'd explain, but it's complex.
What? Are you saying the fools will realize how foolish they are and become wiser?
It doesn't work like that.

Well, as long as MS doesn't sell them a license.

Or, taking a lesson from market paleontology, today's hungry scurrying mammals become tomorrow's overbearing complacent dinosaurs.
Market dominance inherently carries the seeds of market abuse and, ultimately, market failure within.

I guess that makes Cook a sort of Kruschev.

Apple has no creative freedom in posting its own interpretation.
That's good. Otherwise the ad would go like "Dear Samsung, We're sorry... that you're a thieving skiving copycat poopyhead. Love, Apple."
