We've already got Virutal Machine tech and several other ways of saying "Don't cross this line!" so unless it's implemented by an idiot I'd say we'll be okay.
Compuserve was founded by a life insurance company to make a consumer service run on their business systems with the expectation that the consumers would use it during non-working hours.
When it comes down to it, nobody needs their clock cycles 24/7 at even load, even though that's what computers are designed to do. Shared services for the win!
Really, time accuracy depends on your frame of reference. You need to trust something as the "absolute truth" before you can start saying that something is off-the-standard, because its off THAT standard that you chose already.
As long as GPS, Cell phone networks, and TV channels are within a split second of each other, I'm fine.
The podcasters that started after TechTV disbanded, including Rev3, Twit, CNET's podcasting group, and Mevio have all proven you can make money with geek ads, they just need to be voiced by the hosts (instead of a 30-second comedy bit that's contradicted by the main show) and kept topically relevant to tech.
True, but they're not knocking on doors of small businesses who don't want them to visit. Also, Google doesn't allow just anybody to tweak PageRank anonymously.
Here's the inherent problem. Even if Yelp's policy specifically denies anybody's targeting non-advertisers for unfairly bad profiles, the sales team is made of individuals upset they're not getting a commission from the guy who decided not to buy ads. So, what's going to stop the sales team from trashing the profile of the non-advertiser? This is impossible to prevent unless the site has a staff-free sales system, like Google does with AdWords.
The reason the mortgage industry got into trouble was because they started doing loans that made no sense. No income? No problem... wait a second, how are those people going to pay off the loan without a income? They changed for the bubble and got burned, then turned to the taxpayer to get bailed out.
The terrorist threats are not just lives lost, but also WHICH lives they went after. 9/11 knocked a few stock trading firms out of existence by killing all of their staff. The physical Wall Street was hard to access knocking NYSE offline for days, and NASDAQ went offline despite having their physical trading computer in Connecticut just because they didn't want to be swamped with their stocks trading while nobody could trade NYSE stocks. CNBC also was a simulcast of NBC's coverage for days... and the markets have proven that if there is ever a disruption in CNBC's availability they'll ring the bell early because that's a too-big-to-be-without source of market news to the average person who wants it.
Then there's the act-of-war hit on the Pentagon, which wasn't as effective as it could have been... and also the unknown presumably Washington area target of Flight 93.
They're not just killing people... but trying to kill the people who make the American economy and American government run.
While there is some truth in your statement it is also very misguided. First, we have to protect from conventional threats as well. For instance, North Korea, which is an not religiously fanatic. M.A.D. worked. It will continue to work against these types of countries.
You misunderstand the new policy. North Korea's status as a suspected rejection of our nuclear proliferation policy stands, and still qualifies for a nuke response as soon as we can prove they have the technology. They might get one free bite, but that's it. Same goes for Iran.
A spinoff of the World Poker Tour TV show is called ClubWPT where people pay about $20/mo. to subscribe to a poker club that offers frequent games with small prizes. This is legal in most states because the subscription fee is for a Las Vegas-based e-mail newsletter, and the games are considered promotions that don't have an individual cash buy-in. Would this go away in MA under the new law?
This is a fairly common ban... even in Las Vegas you have to submit yourself to the whims of the Nevada Gaming Commission, and you can't get an Internet casino approved by them. Most states have lotto laws that makes the state-run game the only legal gambling in their jurisdiction.
It's already proven that a lot of MA residents are traveling to the two CT casinos. I'd rather stay in MA to play poker if only there was a legal game in town.
Yes there is, The Hague, The UN, and NATO. When 9/11 happened, we had the whole world willing to help us clean up Afghanistan. When Bush 2.0 said "Now let's go after Iraq!" without a sufficient case, they started looking at him funny.
We've got the MOAB system of conventional explosives to take out terrorist camps... nukes are much stronger weapons. 2 hits and a promise for more got Japan to surrender.
No need for you to shoot back with anything, just prove your case in the justice system, and your neighbor gets their choice of lethal injection or the electric chair.
The Mutually Assured Destruction plans of the Cold War are outdated... we're no longer fighting states with a homeland, we're fighting a mobile group that will go wherever lawlessness is tolerated and don't care what happens to innocents around them. Scorched Earth isn't the idea, it's really just a question of law enforcement. Gotta use different tactics for a different enemy.
The thing about lotteries is that they defy physics. Take a machine designed to give out specific units of force, and balls designed to weigh the same weight they are prescribed, and you've got a very predictable physical system.
So, how do they avoid drawing the same numbers every time? They let a computer mess up the given statuses... do they use Set 1, Set 2, or Set 3 of balls? Do they put the balls in numerical order? When does the machine start moving?
The thing is... you can't let humans decide these variables because eventually they'll spot the patterns and be able to rig the result. So, they do what the computer tells them to... yep, that's right, your state lottery is just as random as the PRNG at headquarters.
Seems like this works so well they want more of it... but in order for it to do all that they want it to do they'll have to divert resources from the manned flights that exist now. Some programs win, some programs lose. Typical Washington debate about to come up...
This has nothing to do with Facebook, Flicker, FourSquare, Twitter, or any other Web 2.0 website. This happened at school, during school hours, and with the school having knowledge that that something was going on. This is a first round of charges, there could be more including some of the adults who could have taken action. Dating a senior football player and being the "new girl" led to her being teased and hated... leading to violence, leading to a situation where she saw no way out. This should have been cut off with detentions and suspensions long before it got this far.
I'm pretty sure the lawyers in this case are going to pull all the Web 2.0 content created by the students involved. If they go down this path and find something that can be treated as a confession, then it's "News for nerds." or "Stuff that matters." Until we see that, it's more like the 6pm news here in the Boston area.
No, I'm mocking the Energizer Bunny campaign of ads a robotic bunny left the set of its own ad and started interrupting other ads for fictional products.
Your problem couldn't be replicated at the factory because they had a to-spec wire in the place where you had your faulty wire. No need for a factory involvement, you just needed a good mechanic who could check suck parts.

Let's not forget NewEgg's recent version of this promotion with their "Zero chips--- you're a loser!" packages.
