Oh, like the investigation of Earth's crust hasn't revealed that the global temperature has risen and fallen over and over again at an almost steady rate since before the first layer of dinosaur fossils.
Crap happens in the universe and we're affected, too. We aren't the cause of "global warming"; we can only be a slight catalyst. Given the trends as compared with past activity before Humans even existed, we've hardly exacerbated the effects.
Do I think we should pollute? Hell no. Do I think that resource reservation is a bad idea? NO. Do I think we are the cause of all problems on a planet the size of Earth? NO!
Perfect example of pride at its best. We don't control the future, we are only a blip on its radar.
Keep in mind those magic things called "volcanoes" and "ocean vents" that release more CO2, CO, and other global warming compounds; they all release more in a day than humans release in a year without breaking a sweat.
When someone "takes a call" within about ten feet of me, the FlameWar App(tm)(sm)(r)(c) automagically finds their contact info and haunts them for a month.
Take that, you hot girl that thought I wasn't stupid enough to be cool......
Oh, wait. Uh.. sorry I can't finish this, I have a conference call.
My broadband RF scanner has a directional antenna and picks up 2.4GHz. I actually found someone who had the pressure-activated tooth filling you described! The RF scanner cost me $590 but the ability it gave me to safely call that girl a lying bitch in public when she did it was PRICELESS!:>
No, no, no... You completely misread that. You're only allowed to move your mouse pointer 2000 pixels per window, per day. Licensure of pixels is then 100 "points" per 1000 above that.
That's why they have Xbox Live getting people used to the term "points" so the transition is smoother. Also makes the "Microsoft Dollar" sit well in society for the day it comes into worldwide use.
Why don't they just release the complete automation suite that removes 100% human work and then start using a random number generator to come up with prices...you know...for the fun of it.
This reminds me of a custom computer building company I used to work for that got a military contract and then decided to raise their prices on all non-government builds to a disgusting price and basically shun all previous customers as well as making all potentials laugh. So uh, what happens on that day you lose the contract, eh?
I don't think it can handle the cycles to perform the sprinkler function. Don't think it can do the math to prove or disprove your second statement. Don't think it has enough storage to maintain your third.
For the purpose of demonstrating the power of the new Pi, they used one to hack every box on the Internet that has any record of it and its price, and divided the price by 1000.
Now THAT'S a sales maneuver that's worth its price in puddin' and Pi.
No laughs? Fine. I'm gonna use my Pi to brute force everyone's wifi. I'll show you all!!!
I don't buy things until it's almost completely necessary; I bought a 46" HD flat with minimal specs for $400 a few weeks ago and it's excellent compared to what I'm used to. I'm not a student (I'm 31), so my demand is way below what it used to be, let alone the overall demand ratio of today's young.
With parents, status symbolism, $%#! length sustenance, nownownow needs... I'd say yeah. Most do:)
Wait, I said 'most'. I guess my answer to your question of "all" is no.
Now let's do a study on how many students will buy their first HD w/ HDMI just to try out the Pi. Heh.
Over the past several years, DoD has experienced damaging penetration to these networks...[including] blueprints of weapons systems that have already been compromised,' the report said.
If I were going to have a secure network that is perfectly sustainable over time, I would do exactly the same thing. Increased reward decreases rebellion and acting out against a secret entity.

1. If you don't tell the proxy malware asses about it, people will get a nifty notification and it will open the eyes of a few not-so-smart ones. 2. If you DO tell people you're doing it, the proxy malware idiots will craft new malware and work around it using new IPs -or- just come up with a new method.
In the end, it's better that Google do nothing and let nature run its course on this. It will anyway.:)
We have too many laws, and we don't have enough. That pretty much means (logically) one thing: We have misappropriated laws.
I'm not going to focus, but I'll just mention one dichotomy to clarify what I'm saying above: We have a law to not shoot someone unless your life is in danger, and we also have a law to notify people when coffee is hot.
What in the heck does this complaint you have about Google have to do with the issue at hand?
Google opted to notify people when requests to them are coming from a malware-based proxy server as a nice tip to let people know when they should check their machine out.
They're not selling anything, they're not pushing you toward anything. They're just notifying you that something known-to-be-bad is happening.
This is almost 100% the same as the last piece of malware I was asked to remove from three peoples' machines over the course of a couple of months.
It was such a pain in the butt because I spent an hour manually cleaning the registry while using a live CD, looking for the newest modified-time files on the machine, looking for installed "Oh-I'm-so-cool" applications, browser extensions, system libs, etc etc etc.....
In the end, I find out that it was cleaned off after my first registry run key deletion session, but the damn proxy was set in both Mozilla and IE to a remote IP. Now, Proxy is one of the first things I check with there's ad-based or redirectional malware reported.
That sounds correct. Whenever there is profit to be had by sale of personal information that they will rename "anonymous", Microsoft is competitive with Google.
Might there be legitimate reasons why Motorola would be required to do this? Patents they've licensed? Covering their asses against the RIAA et al? Perhaps Verizon wanted this?
I'm no expert, but I'm a-thinkin' that the ultimate failure of many devices, made by companies that the government and civil safety agencies have become reliant upon, could help said corporations get free money and easy rides.

Hey.. It sounded good.

Heh... Yeah. Agreed.

It's an anonymous so I guess that means yes... Oh and by the way... Hear, hear!

I wonder if the chassis has enough stability to turn a door locking mechanism..... Hmm.. Better go patent that one. See ya! :>

How many licks does it take to get the the center of the chassis?
Okay, you beat me on that. I hate anonymous, but I bow. lol

I'm just sayin'.
Thanks for that info. I'm going to pass that along to most people that I know that have discussed it for the past several years.
Also, thanks for the phone booth one. Do you have a link or two to reference both of these so I can pass them along to others? Gold, I tell ya!
Ahhhh... Poor notification. Gotcha.
First thing that hits me is:
1. If you don't tell the proxy malware asses about it, people will get a nifty notification and it will open the eyes of a few not-so-smart ones.
2. If you DO tell people you're doing it, the proxy malware idiots will craft new malware and work around it using new IPs -or- just come up with a new method.
In the end, it's better that Google do nothing and let nature run its course on this. It will anyway. :)
I'm in agreement with you, Ratzo.

Yeah... Sure. Off-topic. Mmmhmm.

Wait. I don't want to know.
