If I don't know anything about it and I should, I learn it. Any HR person that doesn't is lazy. That's the point of their job, to deal with human resources. They don't have to know how to program, but they sure as shit should have a clue about the business they're in, at minimum the terminology.
That's a strawman. Flash is available to everyone pretty much equally, whereas IE is not. It's not a "trap", it's just good sense. Silverlight has yet to show it's face on Linux or Mac. That means that Flash is still a much better choice if you're going to attempt to reach a broad audience.
Dude... bad scars make you look even more like a badass if you're bald. Just gotta hit the gym for a while so you aren't terribly scrawny, and life's good;) Unless you like the Moby look;)
Tell me about it. I've met a lot of people who used home schooling as a way to basically ignore science education because it wasn't "compatible" with their religious beliefs. The kids honestly believed that there was "scientific" evidence that the earth was 6000 some odd years old. And they passed their science credits. There needs to be proper accountability if someone is homeschooled.
So wear gloves and shoes that are tightly attached. You can hold yourself up normally by your fingers and toes, right? Problem solved.

Windows 7 To Dial Down UAC
·
· Score: 2, Informative
I can see you're a little slow, and don't actually know anything about how computers work.
A program gets an "event" as it's called, something like MouseClick or something. These events can be generated by MORE than than just the mouse... it allows automated GUI testing programs, letting a click on a transparent "top" window be filtered down to a lower one, and so on. Basically, Windows CAN'T know that you're "THE ONE HOLDING THE FUCKING MOUSE" from just that.
What UAC does is it takes control away from ALL programs, and only allows local input devices to generate events, so it CAN be sure that it's you that clicked that button.
It's ok... lots of people yell when they don't know what they're talking about;)
Why not vote for someone who actually represents what you want, then, rather than the "lesser of two evils"? The only way we'll get change is by voting what we want, rather than defensively. We vote defensively, we will get one of the choices that are dictated, rather than the ones we actually want.
They aren't quite the same lines (signaling channel vs. voice channels). And text is not the same as voice... I have a very hard time gleaning and remembering information from speaking with someone. Text me the address I should go do, and it's much easier. Other people are different, but I find it much easier to get and remember info textually than by speaking to someone.
That's the point. Verizon wants to control ALL the services going on on it's network. You think they remove the GPS and modem-tethering on the Blackberry 8830 "world" edition for shits and giggles? They do it so they can charge you for what should be a feature simply native to the device, and do it in their own, inferior way.
Seconded. And there's no surcharge for using the GPS capabilities of your device, or for tethering it to your computer as a modem. Verizon nickel and dimes you with all of their "additional" services. The only thing they have as a benefit is better coverage, and that's rapidly waning. I'll deal with not having coverage as far into the mountains as Verizon does if it means I save $50/mo on the same services.
It's not about the users. It's about the developers... when Microsoft can say "Your application is requesting rights it doesn't need and is annoying your users", then the app developer will hopefully get with the 20th century and write is properly.
The guidelines and capabilities have been around since at least when XP was released... developers who followed them are seeing very few issues with the switch to Vista. It's the half-assed programming that makes up 90% of Windows software that is causing the issue.
How does the computer know it was YOU that clicked on it? And not some malicious app, trying to install, say, an updated that opens up a hole they want to exploit? UAC works by "knowing" that the person at the keyboard is the one doing the clicking, rather than some other application issuing various events.
Because you lose the ability to control your movements accurately, and you end up with a rail shooter. Aiming and shooting is all well and good, but putting the movement controls on the same gun would is a pain in the ass. The only solution would be something like the Wii nunchuk combined with a one-handed gun adapter. Which would actually be kinda cool, but it hasn't been pulled off quite right yet, and either way it limits you to Wii graphics, which are nowhere near what PS3/360/PC capabilities are right now. The Wii is a lot of fun, but no one is claiming it's next-gen graphics;)
No, the governments specifically gave the NSA the rights to listen without oversight. That's the point here... if someone at the NSA was going against the established rules, that's one thing, but they weren't. The rules were changed by the people in charge, and now we're seeing the fallout of it, and the people in charge SHOULD be responsible for it.
Discipline in that context means trained in the use of aforementioned arms, not as in "following the rules of government".
It's amazing how many illiterates there are who can still read simple words and misinterpret them. And then get modded up by similar intellectual giants.
It can be fixed. You just go into your preferences (you have a user account, so it's available to you) and untick "idle" from the sections. Not that frickin' hard. Hell, it's easier than posting a comment is.
...back up? No amount of backing up will allow you to talk on a cellular phone with no battery power. Some people go longer in between having access to a charger than the iPhone will operate, especially while talking (doubly so with the 3G). An extra battery would allow them to keep using it as, you know, a phone. It's a design flaw, pure and simple, and if you're feeling conspiracy-minded, it was a very deliberate design "flaw" to add an additional profit stream. I personally think it's just form and company control taking way too much precedence over function.
And then there are people like my aunt who doesn't even remove the sticker from the lid of her laptops. There are all kinds of people... advertising inside games will be quite successful with many, many people. Especially the online flash browser games.
Governments are capable of performing MITM attacks, but it is non-trivial computationally. Which means listening to EVERYTHING becomes an impossible problem, which forces them back to the concept of needing suspicion.
Encryption may not be 100% secure, but it forces the attacker to use many orders of magnitude more resources to accomplish any kind of subterfuge, which is a good thing when you're talking about systems that can currently casually listen to almost all communication over the network.

Yeah, that's solved. It's not hard at all for automated parsing software to call another online tool.

Dude. Spend $50 and get a modern machine with an optical drive, or that boots properly off of USB. Used laptops are easy to find.

I'll have to check it out. Thanks!
