How can they use IP to monitor health, when a circuit is completely out? If the electricity isn't getting through, how is the network traffic? Or, are they using negative logic?
I don't have to deal with it because where I live owning a gun is not a human right and no one can buy assault weapons. You're the one who has to deal with it. Good luck.
Well, there's not much I can say to that other than, "I'm sorry to hear that."
Where I live, people are allowed to buy assault rifles. As a matter of fact, I've got one at home myself. I usually carry a handgun when I leave the house, and so do a lot of other people in the area.
I don't know what you've heard, but even with this proliferation of weapons, it's not exactly the wild west. People aren't shooting each other over fender-benders on the street or anything. At least not the permit holders.
It's funny how everyone expects utter chaos after a US state enacts shall-issue carry laws. And to date, this has never happened.
So, if you've got some innate fear of weapons, that's fine with me. Just don't tell me I don't have the option to possess the means to protect myself.
That it's illegal won't stop Timmy from wreaking havoc with his arsenal (since he is a meth head), and his sentence won't bring back to life the ones he killed. So what you are saying is that in this libertarian world there exists no system for preventing mentally unstable people like Timmy the Meth Head from slaughtering innocent people. That's a problem.
Those are the risks one takes to live in a free society. Deal with it.
underfunded budgets that limit choices ranging from what products they buy to the vendors they work with.
The other side of this, is that even when companies do have the budgets for these fancy-schmancy products from uber-repected vendors, it's often the users, and their lack of awareness or education about their role in security that's the weak link.
"Yippie ki-yay, melon farmer!"
- Bruce Willis, in Die Hard censored for network television
On FX, I believe they made it, "yippie ki-yay, mister falcon!" for Die Hard 2. Appropriate, since he had just blown up the bad guys in their plane, in one of the least believable scenes in the movie.
The thing is, in order to truly have free speech, anonymity needs to be protected. How else can one voice an unpopular opinion, or bring information to light that others want suppressed, without fear of reprisal? Say someone wants to express their view, but can only do it "on the record." They don't say their piece, out of fear. As a result, their right to freedom of expression has been infringed. They have been prevented from expressing their point.
sorry, I know it's OT but I gotta hear your explaination on how the ACLU, whose sole purpose is to defend the documents america was founded on (the constitution and the bill of rights), is un-american?
My main beef with the ACLU, is that they pick and choose which of the supposedly inalienable rights guaranteed by the Constitution are suitable for their unapologetically liberal agenda. They say they defend the Constitution, but when certain unpopular constitutional rights are infringed, they fall silent. Would they lift a finger to assist citizens of New Orleans, who had their firearms "confiscated" during the aftermath of Katrina, without due process, and just when these people needed them the most, in defending their properties from looting, probably never to be seen again? Nope. Meanwhile, the security guards hired by the rich were allowed to carry their weapons to defend their clients' properties from theft.
Loose constructionism aside, there is ample direct evidence that the founding fathers intended that the right to keep and bear arms mentioned in the second amendment be considered an individual right, not to mention recent Supreme Court rulings upholding this viewpoint.
I've always wondered how those tests would register powder residue. A couple of years ago, I was on a business trip that took me pretty much around the world. I went from Philadelphia, to Chicago, to Hong Kong, to Melbourne, AU, to Auckland, NZ, back to Melbourne, to LA and back to Philly, wearing a fleece jacket that I had worn to the range multiple times, and never washed before I left. I'm positive there was a good amount of residue on the sleeves. Not once at all those airports was I put through the swab test. I guess I'm lucky, because I'm sure if what you're saying is correct, it would have been flagged if they did pull me aside.
True. But in this industry (meaning IT), if I asked you to create me a 1 TB filesystem, and you gave me 1,000,000,000,000 bytes I'd ask where the other 99,511,627,776 was. Almost 92 GB is not a trivial amount of space to be short.
The result is that today "everybody" does not "know" what a megabyte is. When discussing computer memory, most manufacturers use megabyte to mean 220 = 1 048 576 bytes, but the manufacturers of computer storage devices usually use the term to mean 1 000 000 bytes. Some designers of local area networks have used megabit per second to mean 1 048 576 bit/s, but all telecommunications engineers use it to mean 106 bit/s. And if two definitions of the megabyte are not enough, a third megabyte of 1 024 000 bytes is the megabyte used to format the familiar 90 mm (3 1/2 inch), "1.44 MB" diskette. The confusion is real, as is the potential for incompatibility in standards and in implemented systems.
Faced with this reality, the IEEE Standards Board decided that IEEE standards will use the conventional, internationally adopted, definitions of the SI prefixes. Mega will mean 1 000 000, except that the base-two definition may be used (if such usage is explicitly pointed out on a case-by-case basis) until such time that prefixes for binary multiples are adopted by an appropriate standards body.
Clear as mud, right? It ain't an industry standard (yet), and it still depends on who you ask.
Besides, do the abbreviations MB, GB or TB refer to the "Mega, Giga, Tera" version or "MiBi, GiBi, TeBi"? What's the definitive answer to that? That's what I thought.;)
In the IT world, at least, we still always use the base two definition when quoting sizes. This includes both RAM and storage (think filesystems). While hard drive manufacturers may still quote base 10, (in the Unix world at least) we still quote base 2 when dealing with these sizes on the OS level. What do "df -h", or the Veritas volume manager GUI report?;)
They STILL lie about hard drive capacities. For example, it kind of irks me that a device sold as having a 5 GB capacity really is only approximately 4.65. AFAIK, both Creative and Apple do this with their mp3 players.
Of course, the majority of the public doesn't realize that there is a substantial difference in the correct, base 2 definition of these capacities and the decimal lie the manufacturers are pushing, as capacities increase. 1000000000 bytes != 1073741824 bytes!
As an aside, it always bothers me when co-workers don't account for this when quoting filesystem sizes. For example, when df reports 1048526848 kbytes... Some might say, oh, that's like 1.05 TB, when in fact it's more like 0.97 TB, or 999.95 GB. When you're talking about sizes like those, there is a substantial-enough difference!
If you're a software vendor, simply apply the formula.
Jack Says: Take the number of copies in the field, (A), and multiply it by the probable rate of an exploit being found, (B), then multiply the result by the average out-of-court settlement, (C). A times B times C equals X...
If X is less than the cost of producing and releasing a patch, you don't do one.
If you look at the picture from TFA, you can see that there's a door that closes over the display, buttons and speaker jack. I'd say that as long as visitors remember to close the door and/or the grounds crew goes around periodically to close them up, they'd be alright for awhile.

I'll have to check it out!
BTW... Whereabouts do you live? I bet it's some liberal controlled, urban area with high crime (i.e. there are guns, but only criminals have them).

Actually, the word du does mean "of the". It's the equivalent of de and le together. It's le jour because it's masculine.
