Disaster planning pretty much always starts with 'a disaster has occurred, what do we do'. However people are very delicate things and would have their feelings hurt if you suggested a real disaster could happen and so to lighten things up a made up disaster is substituted.
Basically this is the CDC's plan for dealing with a disastrous disease outbreak.
It's not a virus, it's a trojan. You can't technically fix stupid; users that install everything they see will always be the weakest point in system security.
If you want an oven that can bake anything you buy an oven, if you buy an easy-bake oven don't complain when the only thing you can make is stuff that uses the easy-bake mix.
The iPad and the iPhone are not generic PC's and never will be.
Basically this. I do take a short lunch so I can leave but what lunch time I do take, I like to have it quietly alone away from work and coworkers.
The point of the company trying to make everyone 'best buddies' is so they don't have a problem with working on time that should have been theirs. I don't want to spend any more time than I have to at work.
You could have saved yourself a whole lot of setup and trouble by simply not having an open connection. By the time you've locked it down that much, there's really no point to having an open connection.
Did you read the thread at forums.aws.amazon.com? The Skynet denial was in direct response to suggestions that Skynet had compromised EC2. Besides, Amazon is not a single entity. The guy posting the denial probably has lots of time on his hands while others work on the problem.
People need to relax. Bitching and moaning about things doesn't make them happen any faster, and this response didn't slow things down at all.
You need a HDTV for blu-ray to make any sense, if you don't already have one, thats a cost. Even if you do have a HDTV, DVD looks good enough so you have to justify the cost of getting a Blu-ray player. Then there is the fact that since DVD looks good enough you have to justify getting x release on Blu-ray instead of DVD. There is still a recession going on, the cheaper alternative is going to either win or have a very good showing.
I have a HDTV, and I do like the PBS broadcasts in HD, but I don't feel the need to replace the DVD player with Blu-ray.
Other cultures (past and present) eat their dead. Should we expect people in this culture to be able to eat their dead? There was a reason you had to say other, it not this one.
Things change. 150 years ago, in this culture, 16 year olds looked forward to the same entertainment and job opportunities that a 70 year old did. It is no longer like this and actually hasn't been for some time now so things changed. A 16 year old now just has less interests in common with a 70 year old. Obviously, they are going to have less to do with each other. Hell, I'm 30 and you're going to be hard pressed to find me doing anything but sitting quietly when you fill a room with a bunch of 70+ people, and ya, I'm going to be looking for an excuse to go and do something I do find enjoyable.
However, I think it's pretty obvious that if you have a 16 year old throwing a temper tantrum, that's a pretty big parenting fail.
Money has been pissed away to bring broadband to the US because at one time people saw the utility of it. Someone is now looking into why it never materialized but the checks were cached.

All of these reasons are why I'm kicking Verizon to the curb.

No matter what the marketing says, the user is still responsible for themselves.
Oh, and not that it would have helped in this case, but Apple does recommend Anti-Virus for OS X.

The consequences will never be the same.
No, can't say that I do.
I think it's a dud to generate traffic. By the summary itself, it's not based on anything but wild imagination.
Someone is trying to be xkcd.
Many people will not pay again and again and again for the same game. I bought them once, I personally am not going to buy them again.
Unless they are happy to exist simply as the shadow if their former self, they are going to have to make new games that people want to pay for.

I'll let you know when I grow up. However right now, I believe the original premise is stupid.
... so isn't this kind of a 'well duh' moment?
It was a very dim star.
They just broadcast it to the world now and make it very obvious.
It's 20% cooler, at most.

If you're not giving for free without risk to yourself you just not being socially responsible.

Nothing at all, except a motherboard failure now means you lost all your data.
Multiscreen 3d acceleration?
I want a Porche and Interpol to go fuck themselves. Unfortunately, Interpol will probably get their way first.

God damnit. Thats what I get for actually working today.
