You could have just said 'When next President wants an "Internet Kill Switch"' but you had to make it about your political views and not the larger, more important issue. This is a real problem with discourse in the U.S. these days. It is about "which side you are on" and not the discussion of the big issues. I think most citizens agree that an "Internet Kill Switch" is a very bad idea. But our problems keep getting worse because we are constantly distracted by political nonsense and polarizing language and cannot focus on the issue at hand. Let's focus on what's important.
Is the BlackBerry Internet different from the Internet the rest of us use? Any country that attempts to block "the Internet" has to block all egress points for it to be effective.
They won't ignore it, necessarily. But they may charge more to people they cannot (read: "choose not to") track. Just look at every major grocery chain in the U.S. and their loyalty cards: this can of Chicken Noodle Soup costs $1.00, or $0.67 for those with a loyalty card.
Like evolution, where Darwin's "survival of the fittest" has turned into "survival of the adequate", our Universe isn't the best place to live, but it's good enough.
It's pretty clear that the author SERIOUSLY messed up the compilation on windows (also betrayed by the fact that it took him several hours of futzing with visual studio in order to get it to work)
I'm not sure that it is all that clear. My initial though was that the PC Pro author didn't port the Unix code properly. But there are issues reported with the code on AIX, and I am running into performance issues on SPARC/Solaris with the source code AS IS compiled with both GCC (4.3.2) and Sun Studio. It may be that something about the smallpt source code is preventing the Microsoft compiler from fully optimizing the code. Or the problem may lie with the OpenMP implementations on these platforms. On Solaris, for example, the process never fully utilizes all of the CPU cores.
The posts from users running Linux on the forum are showing times that are 4-5x faster than those posting benchmarks from Windows. What's going on there?
Where are the recruiting posters, TV spots, and in-game adverts? I know the Marines and Army are looking. Where the heck does one sign up for cyber-warrior boot camp? What's the web site, email address or 1-800 number? Even the article leaves out that information. What a missed opportunity.

Google, this is the enterprise feature your users really want.
Joy. I see it still has no owner.
the DM just tells them the consequences.
You mean like a panel of judges???
Hey... all my packets have that bit set.

Just pay Amazon to manage it all for you . No more capital expense. It's all back to operating expense.

The influence of the black hole is strong only at the very center tiny fraction of a percent (by either volume or mass) of the galaxy.
In other words, the black hole has direct influence over a small fraction of the galaxy.
You may as well ask if the solar system were just your own personal accretion disk.
Are you sure it's not like asking the soldiers on the battlefield if they report the the Field Marshall?
Doesn't FIPS mode do this? How is FF even remotely secure if it allows this in FIPS mode?
In other words: My typewriter has an umlaut over the letter "n". Patent please!
Dude, do you know what the TSA is going to do to us the first time a terrorist hops a plane with a butt-plug bomb?

How do our current fundamental laws describe entropy in a CPT anti-universe?
One word describes most of the IT departments in the US: underfunded.
The U.S.? No. There's a far more likely suspect...
We should ban them. Too much of the energy is emitted in the visible spectrum, not as heat.
Did you remove the networkcable too?
No can do, my friend. Anti-virus software is useless without a network connection to keep the virus definitions up to date.

Bruce modded as Troll?
I'm sure he's used to it by now.
Now we just need Sammy Hagar to write a song about it.
Google uses Dell for its Google Search Appliance. IIRC, they ship directly from Dell these days.

Hint: hire a marketing team first.
"We don't have sufficiently bright people moving into this field"
Yet we have sufficiently bright people who can create a system that rapes the stock market.
Which one pays better?
