Better to drive 2 hours away setup a laptop with a script to log you in and upload your information at a preset time(it can be off by 15-20minutes). Steal a car do your crime ditch first car near crime scene. Have an accomplice drive you back to the laptop/car and party for real.
Let's see spend $100,000 every 20 years to upgrade the software or spend $50,000 a year to pay someone to do it in house, and still get a vendor locked in solution, but only now you are the vendor.
Like how he lied when he said he couldn't get certain court documents and then the guardian publishes them a couple of weeks later? He stopped talking to the media right about then too.
Or how about a complete lack of respect of the laws of a foreign country? Sweden won't extradite someone they are pressing charges against, and won't extradite anyone if capital punishment is an option. Yet those where his defense on why he shouldn't be allowed to be extradited to Sweden.
If your going to go to a foreign country you had better know their laws. You don't agree with those laws but You have to respect them once you are there. Law number one in most countries is ignorance of law doesn't mean innocence of law.
He is trying to hide behind wikileaks to cover his own guilt for breaking laws he didn't know about. All Rape charges are he said/she said. In sweden they very strongly favor she said. Maybe Assange should hide in the middle east where the woman needs for men to say she was raped.
At work our primary application is a telenet app that logs into a specific server. Of course we aren't stupid enough not to use VPN's, and packet filtering to go outside the network(or back in). We tried to upgrade to more secure connection but found the clients to be lacking about 1/2 the features found in the simple telenet client. We were told some of those features might be in the next release or two in three - five years.
Since businesses get locked into vendor lock-in pretty hard it is very tough to move out. You get stuck doing things insecurely or working around bad security because upgrading isn't possible without millions of dollars being spent uselessly(paying a vendor to bring their applications up to the year 2000 standards).
I know of one company that used Win16 subsytem as a vital part of their application up until last year. they refused to upgrade it because it worked even though in order to install the application on windows XP often required rebooting into safe mode to bypass enough security to let it install. This Application was the only way to work with their product line too with quarterly updates to the data it contained. Oh and you have to upgrade the entire application in order to update the data inside.
It is those kinds of practices that make obsolete tech like telenet still exist.
Acutally it is. Julian has shown time and again that he is only doing wikileaks for the money.
The threaten lawsuit againist the gaurdian for releasing documents early. Complaining that the Newspaper was releasing court documents that showed Assange lied to the public about what was going on.
No one is holding Julian liable when he lies. He stopped talking to the media about his case when he got caught in the last one.
Wikileaks doesn't need Julian Assange. It would be a far better outfit if he left.
I was reverting back to the old method whenever I could. Slashdot even sent me an email asking why.
I detailed all of my reasons very clearly. They fixed a couple of them but I am typing this in a space that is 1/10th my screen size. on my phone the comment box wraps around with every 10 characters it is so fucking small
The icons are completely broken.
If you try reading the front page, you lose articles as only a third of the articles get complete summaries, without any explaination as to why?
I wish they would fire the executives who keep trying this shit out of a fucking airlock on the ISS, and fire the visual basic design team out of a cannon.
A regular DVD can get about 3 hours of recordings on it. Blueray I believe is specced similarly. 3D is basically 1.5 video's in one for storage. A 3 hour video will max out a single blueray disc depending on settings.
Right now you can't get widescreen / standard def on one disc. Just how do you plan on putting 4-6 hours of video on one side of a blue ray disc?
5.1 adds very little overall data compared to video.
Except MSFT won't modify Outlook, or Office to work on a touch screen. They have had 8 years and not done it once why would they bother now?
WP7's exchange support is also lacking behind android and the iPhone. try reading some of the business reviews on it. WP7 focuses on twitter and facebook more than Exchange.
People won't change what they know. it is why Office 2007 and 2010 have less users than Office 2003(which is what I have at work) Businesses don't want to spend $2000 for 10 people to get a new office suite every 3 years. not when that suite will work just fine in 10 years.
why is IE 6 still around? Because people coded for it and it alone and now they can't/won't change the applications they have.
The comment box sucks why is it so small? The icons don't scale(try loading this on a mobile browser the icons stay the same size no matter how much you zoom.)
I am losing every other articles summary so I don't know If I want to bother reading it or not.
it takes 10 seconds to load on my phone from the previous 1 or 2
Good things are they have kept the comment threshold box so sorting out threads is the same.' I will have to wait to I get mod points to see how that works. it was one of the few things I did like about V2
What I really wish is they would stop sending people to the MSFT ScHool of Interface Technology. Improvements needed in the V1 interface but you make gradual changes not major changes.
well that and 5.1 is very expensive and requires specific room setups that are only rarely available to the average user. If your designing and building your living room you can run the wires easily but to setup 5.1 in an existing house is nearly impossible without lots of work. It is the rear speakers that becomes the problem. Not everyone has the couch directly in front of the TV, some of them are off to the side. and speaker placement becomes critical.
3D tv is just as worthless. it is only useful for an area about the size of a couch sitting 8-10 feet away from the tv. You can't have friends watching the movie off to the side as their experience won't be as good, the frames won't line up quite right etc. combine with having to buy expensive active glasses if Best buy is selling $60 HDMI cables do you really think the glasses will be less than $60 a pair?
So you can still watch it in 2D, but if it never ges used and the DVD's don't get sold why include it? 5.1 can be included on one disc, 3D will require a second disc.
The difference between Columbus vs the Apollo crews is that Columbus brought back gold/ Silver/ spices with him.
The spices not so much but there should be decent quantities of raw minerals out there that we need on a regular basis. The problem becomes how much does it cost to setup mining out there and return. (rememebr the moon has lower gravity so you can send more back easier)
Software isn't real though. Once you make it once you can duplicate it an infinite amount of times. drugs, physical objects all deserve patents.
Software, methods, etc shouldn't be patentable to begin with. someone has a patent on manually collating files by laying them on a table and walking around that table taking one sheet each time.
Is that really a patent worthy item? is there a difference between that and eolas's patent on plugins? Not really. software is already abstract and is always built on previous tools. Software should have copyright on the code/bytecode in question so that duplicating it will be wrong but patents are designed for physical objects not imaginary ones. The term Intellectual property isn't legally defined anywhere. as such it isn't a legal term and doesn't describe anything. Property can be seized Intellectual property can't be.
Eolas was a patent troll. in that case I very much wanted MSFT to win simply to kill off a patent troll.
What is needed is a method of killing patent trolls from being able to sue. Like you have to have a shipping product in 3-5 years from the date the patent was granted or else the patent is invalid.
You do realize that not only that but the F-117's were restricted to a very specific flight pattern flying over the exact same pass day and night over and over again.
He may have used some old equipment that had a different radar freq, but he also got lucky that Political stupidity played a major role(flights into and out of the region where very limited, which areas they could and couldn't fly over).
The Chinese fighter is larger and heavier than the Raptor. It doesn't use thrust vectoring nozzles, or even distributed nozzles to limit heat output by the engines. it is only stealthy head on, from any other angle it will be easy to spot. Those giant canards will also turn a very large radar reflection back too. It uses old school radar so it will be easy to track. All in all it isn't a bad attempt at an updated fighter for china, but it is two or three generations from being capable as the Typhon or raptor.
Not to mention this is the initial test flight. it will be ten years before they have decent production going. remember the raptor's flight demo for the USAF was in 1991, and the first production model flew in 1997.
Better answer is to nuke Jerusalem so that no one can go there for 2 or 300 hundred years. To be equal opportunity atheist take out Vatican city, and Mecca too.
Let these people fight over cities they can't even have.
I travel during the winter less than 30 miles a day, but in the summer it is closer to 75. My first job had a 60 mile round trip commute. if I had to stop for anything else(milk) it was easily pushing 75 miles. I drive monthly 200+ miles to spend a day with my parents, playing golf, etc. And several times a year drive 600 miles in a day to visit my sister. An ex co-worker was driving 100-150 miles daily just shuffling his kids to and from various practices, games , etc. At my current work i have the shortest commute only 15 miles each way, The next is 20 miles, 35 miles, and 85 miles, each way.
Winter trashes battery life which is why there are few electric cars in NY, even though we had GE's testing lab here. if you start adding up all the stops, you make you might be surprised at just how far you are going. Most vehicles are setup to travel 300-400 miles per tank. Daily recharging trashes modern lithium batteries unless you drain it completely.
You solution not only involves less efficient energy storage means, but ones that if you recharge it daily means you get ONE year of decent use before they start to fail(you only get 500 or so charge cycles on modern batteries. Are you adding in $2,000 worth of batteries every year you own the vechile into the cost?
while I agree electric motors would be far better for personal transports, the problem is storage. You can't store electricity in great enough quantities for it to work well. Until you can get 400 miles fully loaded with less than 1 hour recharge time, on electric motors, they will just not work in the USA. Right now the Tesla roadster has the best range of ~350 miles . driving 25mph with only one very light person on board with no baggage.
The USA doesn't have the bus, or train infrastructure to support moving lots of people well. Trains roughly take 2-3 times the time it takes a car to go the same distance.

that's only in Israeli made bunkers. After all the Mossad can train sharks to attack beaches.

he is paying himself $86,000 a year, and living rent free in other peoples homes.
If he had a home I could understand it, but he was flying between other peoples mansions to live in.

I forced them to revert the old slashdot up until the new design launched yesterday. it was a setting for all logged in users.
Now you have no fucking choice. it is a MSFT designed product.
Vendor lockin and poor usability.

except for all the raw materials that we will need to continue onward. all those rare earth metals? guess what they can be found on other planets too.
For all we know there could major deposits of the rare minerals on mars. The real trick is getting it, and getting cheap enough to be useful.

no one has been fighting over those cities for the last 1500 years or so.
Stop with cities that people have been spilling blood for the last 2000 years in the name of someone who says though shall not commit murder.

Not really Gail Davis had several children with the Doctor whom then left her in his Tardis.
If wikileaks was a democratic organization all done without any one person behind having total control then the leaker wouldn't be a big deal.
