You mean like how China has Siemens install a maglev train "Tester". Then puts the full project on hold until China can reverse engineer it, then tells Siemens, no thanks, we are gonna make our own. Or how they steal the military tech from EU and US? Or how they try to reverse engineer Intel kit?
Who the fuck cares about Chinese IP law? If they build it and it works, we steal the fucking plans.
Its actually not so easy to accurately shoot from a ship that is moving, especially when the target is a small boat. The chance that would hit them with small arms fire is actually not that good. Unless you had been trained for such situations, which is not likely. Non lethal weapons, such as this laser or sonic weapons are far better solutions from my prospective. This way, you get the chance to zap the pirates back to shore, without the guaranteed fire fight which would take place should the make it on board.
I remember years ago when I was working at Motorola, we had a guy who was stealing loads of pagers. He would take smoking breaks several times a day. Every time he would take his smokes and coffee. Even in those days the guards would check out your bag, but he would not check in your coffee cup. That sucker took 2 pagers several times a day, 5 days a week for a long time. He would then have his buddy who owned a pager store sell them. Made tons of cash.
Another guy was diverting whole tractor trailer trucks to his address! He stole millions! He was only caught because one time a truck returned because of a bad address. That was so awesome. Big scandal. Soon after we got metal detectors at all the doors. Lame.
A couple points. 1. The students pay a lot of money for their education. They must, on their own, take an active part in the learning process. The school needn't force them to learn. 2. Times, they are a-changing. Like it or not, we will always be with our computers in the very near future. We will always be connected to the web. The information will always be available to us. It's not going away. I see this as an opportunity. Rather that forbid computers, the school should encourage this! They should rather teach the student how to effectively integrate computers into the given subject. To get the most out of the tools they have. I think it is far better to expand the knowledge of concepts rather than to bog the students down with memorizing trivia. The web has sufficient memory to store these types of data sets, there is no need for us to commit it to memory. 3. If the teachers are having a hard time to get the student to listen to them, perhaps they should change their teaching style. Additionally, if there is a disruptive student, kick him out, not the computer.
Ultimately the students (or their parents) are paying insanely high amounts money for that education. At some point, the student needs to take an interest in receiving an education. I do not feel that the school has the responsibility to make them learn. The fact is, the world has changed. Computers will always be with us, we will always be connected to internet and have access to the information we need. Assuming of course something catastrophic doesnt happen, in which case, it wont really matter. I think that students should be encouraged to use their computers in the classroom, but not willy-nilly. They should be shown how to use the machine to quickly locate relevant data for a given problem or subject. Perhaps the teacher should change their approach to teaching if all the student prefer facebook to listening to something they say.
Don't be a disingenuous ass. Having a room mate is clearly different than being married in the legal sense. There are special rights given to married couples. You share a credit rating, your lives are linked. Again, don't be an ass.
Right, because voting for any of the political parties will yield results for the actual people. That's just bullshit. The current system to too far gone. The only recourse it to gut it. To start over. It will require a fight though because our "leaders" will not give up control, we must take it from them.
So why dont you read my fucking post again. The whole point is that it is time for action, but you fuck all douche bags will do what you always do..nothing...oh I know...lets vote on it. Fuck off.
I am not sure if it's because of the advent of modern media, with its up-to-the-second news cycles that maybe only makes this seem true, but it really seems to me that our government is becoming more and more openly aggressive in showing that corporations are in complete control of our system. Some may think that this story is not related. It is. In a world where corporation control everything, laws like the DMCA are able to pass. I just can't imagine something like that happening 30 years ago, but perhaps it's just because they didnt have the tech which gave them the need. More and more, it seems you own nothing you buy. People complain sure, but no one does anything about. What can we do? Sure, I vote with my pocket book, since that's the only votes that actually matter anymore. Many it's time to go all French on our government? Maybe it's time to say, fuck no, the RIAA does not control our lives. Fuck no, the MIAA does not control our legal system. Fuck no, the government does not get to say that we look at on the Internet. Then again, perhaps not. Better just to wait until it's too late. There is a famous saying in Russia; Until thunder strikes, a man won't cross himself. Nice to see we have something in common.
I mean, how can anything with the word free right there as part of it's name be bad for you? Like, free porn, or free t-shirts and free guns. So obvious.
I think that personal flight is a fantastic idea and let's face it, we all would love to zip around the sky in our own private air capsule. I also think this can be managed, just not today. Location based tech is growing by leaps and bounds, but it's not quite accurate enough for air travel. Certainly when we are talking about 10's of thousands of private people in the sky over residential areas.
That however, is not a good reason not to begin the ground work. People in my company always complain when we want to change things; yeah, but first we would need to have this and then we need to do that and it would take a lot of time and blah blah blah. I always tell them, sure, that may well be true, but that only means we need to starting walking in that direction now.
Additionally, I see a lot of folks saying, no no no, Metro is the way to go, not stupid private air cars. I 100% agree that the Metro is the way to go is we could only pick one way to travel. Lucky for us there are no physical laws preventing multiple transportation modes working together in a cohesive system.
This is exactly correct. It is to do with channel allocation and link budget. Not to mention that it plays hell when suddenly your signal is attenuated by 50 dB because you are no longer on your personal cell. Lets say the tower you were on is now out of reach, but you never performed a proper detach and your phone is now trying to perform a location update on tower B. It's a pain in the ass from a network management point of view.
I know that all the "people in the know" say we all only want a 10inch and bigger tablet, but not me. Part of my daily work has me dealing with the iPad and other tablets. I can say that i just dont enjoy the larger formfactor of the iPad. Sure, it is better for web browsing, I will certainly admit that, but I just hate to carry it around. For me, I want something about the size of the playbook from RIM. It will still fit in my suit coat pocket or nicely in a hand bag if you are a lady. It's perfect size for reading a book or even a manual. Now, pair that up with say Wi-Fi direct and Bluetooth 4.0 with advanced secure simple pairing for fast document sharing with other tablets and I think you have a good product. It should also be able to accept stylus input. This is a MUST for me and I think most in the business word. Imagine how much nicer it would be to sit in that meeting when you can lean back in the chair holding your hand size tablet and making notes as you would on paper.
For me though, the whole problem is the lack of easy sharing of information. I should be able to "flick" my document towards yours and that should be enough. Maybe enter in a 4 digit code, but not more. Until Documents can easily be passed from machine to machine, it will still be a no go. Let's see. It's still interesting times.
No, it would not be interesting, it would be illegal. It would violate FCC regulations. The platform the module goes into greatly effects the RF characteristics. This is why we test all integrated module into end products. This is why laptops with 3G modules have a bios lock to prevent different modules from being installed. to protect the spectrum.
Quite right. The technology, regardless of the band, is the same. Granted, the US operated in the 850/1900 FDD2/4/5 bands, and the EU not. Nearly 100% of all handsets support 4 bands GSM and 3 bands UMTS (FDD bands). I know this since mobile phone certification is what I do for a living! The SIM tech is not different. In fact, it's not allowed to be different. Not if they want to use GSM. They MUST conform to the core specs, otherwise they cannot certify their handset. In the US, they must get PTCRB certification from a company like 7 Layers. In the EU, they normally should get GCF certification, though that is actually self regulated, while in the US, PTCRB enforces it's certification requirements for ALL GSM handsets. Basically, the article is complete shit. When you get you information from a Carrier, you should expect them to explain why what they are doing is better for everyone. The real reason is because Americans wont pay 600 bucks for a smart phone and a carrier wont subsidize the phone without knowing they can make the money back 3 fold over the contract. It's really rather simple.

Really, I am now learning German and at my age..what a pain in the butt. Would be great to pop on my magnet hat for my lessons.

Then perhaps Germany will stop selling arms to the US. You will have to figure out how to build your own main battle tank guns.

User maps are often times free, and thus a very "Good buy" as you say. Perhaps you mean to say "Goodbye"?
Do you need a digital one?
Well, anyone who goes to 4chan knows to use a proxy and private mode browsing. Oh..and dont click anything!

I seem to recall a similar prognoses at the end of last year. Seems not to have happened. I suspect the trend will continue.
Actually, the Acai Berries has twice the amount of Anti-oxidants than blueberries.
