Or, you know, load up your cart on the way in and back to the electronics counter where they'll undoubtedly keep the equipment to do this. "Sure, Mr./Ms. Wal-Mart employee, I bought these last week and just never opened them..."
For that matter, what's to keep Wal-Mart from claiming you did this on the way back to the counter when you bring in your collection?
Yes, it's somewhat sad that one of the states that is the most adverse to science and knowledge will now be one of the fastest being able to receive it.
The Oort cloud is still theoretical, if I recall correctly, but more evidence is stacking up for it. You might be thinking of the Kuiper belt, which is where most of the trans-Neptunian objects lie. The boundary they are talking about is where the solar wind is overcome by the cosmic (intergalactic) plasma currents. Think about the coma on a comet and you have a similar picture to how our solar wind particles look.
The Oort cloud, if it proves to exist, is speculated to extend quite a ways out -- possibly 2/3 of the way to the nearest star by some estimations. It's a much looser "full shell" of relatively stationary objects, where the Kuiper belt is more similar to a large asteroid belt.
Definitely the one I would suggest as well.
Or it's dual-band big brother, the AP WZR-HP-AG300H. $89.99 for the router itself at Amazon, oddly enough. Nice little table at the bottom comparing the Buffalo router model features as well at that link.
Supports DD-WRT out of the box and support by the manufacturer.
My ONLY complaint is that the radio on my G300NH model is a little bit weaker than my old Linksys routers, since I could boost the signal. I don't think that option works in the firmware on the buffalo, but it might be the difference between the N and G signals that I'm seeing. Still covers my entire house quite well, however, and a little bit outside.
Well, jeez... we should just freeze them now, ship them off, and when they get to the star, we'll have perfected a way to unfreeze/revive them and cure all their various ailments!
Yeah, I guess it boils down to if there is a feasible way to make a converter -- electrons on one end, protons on the other. Otherwise, this could boil down into a new field altogether.. protonics?
I was thinking the same thing here. Would be pretty easy to "fake" that he's a terrible artist when awake, then pretend to be asleep and draw occasionally.
I had to actually disable the SATA3 controller in the BIOS and uninstall the driver in Windows 7 to get the lockups and reboots to stop happening.
I'd get a SATA3 RAID controller, but all of my PCI-E slots are used up.:( So I'm stuck with my Intel SATA-II raid on my SSD's, which does ok. It's still noticeably faster than mechanical drives.
Totally agreed. My post wasn't really meant as a "haha, you people get worked up over nothing" as it was a "take it in perspective and look at the terrain".
Most of the quakes I remember growing up had some pretty severe sudden horizontal "jerks" (best way I can describe it) and I think it'd do a lot more damage if most of the construction hadn't been done post-1964.
Anchorage proper had a higher amplification of the effects, as compared to the surrounding areas due to the fact it was built on a giant tidal flat/sandbar.
Holy crap you are right! We'd best start now... with the founding of Æsopicanity! And because it's now a religion means that it must have had a divine hand guiding the writing of the stories, correct?:)
Yeah, I'm always surprised at the news generated by such low-richter-value quakes... 6.0's were not uncommon when I was growing up in Anchorage. But then I realize that none of the buildings in the areas were really built for that... nor have the people experienced such regular occurrences.
'The vast majority of our messaging customers prefer unlimited plans and with text messaging growth stronger than ever, that number continues to climb among new customers,' says AT&T.
Well, yeah... if their only choices are unlimited or nothing...
I think he's referring to (and comparing) the weightlessness (such as that experienced in the so-called "vomit comet" for space training), rather than strapped-in red-out that you'd get from being in the MiG.
I could be mistaken though.
Oh, not saying we can't. We're using the BlackBerry Enterprise stuff quite well, and are moving into the Apple and even Android areas.
It just gets difficult when we have a user come up and state, "I just bought personal Device XYZ and want you to hook it up to your network." We haven't tested, don't know that particular OS's layout, etc.
And some devices you just can't, for sake of policy reasons, etc. At least not yet. Lotus Domino is JUST NOW beginning to support full push to Android, and we're still in the testing phases. But users are always wanting to get their latest device up on the system, then have us support it sight unseen.
Thanks for the tips for air-watch and Mobileiron, however. Mobileiron looks a bit... pricey (I always get a bit turned off when I go to their "pricing page" and it's a contact form for permission for a salesperson that will never give me a moment's peace) and Air-watch.com isn't coming up...
Yeah, this is what we're currently using. However, it still feels pretty rudimentary and "bolted on", not really a part of the overall plan from Apple.
It would be nice if they built in the enterprise stuff a little more core to the OS, and just left it "turned off" for consumers. Then, if you're an enterprise, you can more closely integrate it into the environment.
It would also be nice to not have to use iTunes to do fine-tuning on the configuration, especially how they tie a device to a computer/Apple store account.
Consumer devices lack a lot of the safety features that are required in most corporate environments. For instance, the iDevices world make it difficult to make sure that the user locks their machines, and since they won't want to have to enter passwords/etc to get to their mail or important documents, it leaves the door wide open to anyone who swipes the device to retrieve the data. All because the user was too lazy to set a lock password.
One of our employees rushed us to finish the configuration of a brand-new iPad for them to take on a trip... and promptly left it in the seat pocket of the plane. Didn't have ownership of it for more than 6 hours.
It's gotten better recently with iDevices, and Blackberry has always been a bit better, but we're getting tickets such as "My manager just got a brand new droid and wants it hooked up to the mail system." They're not understanding the steps that are put in place to protect them, seeing them only as inconveniences. They'll disable them if they can half the time. We deal with a lot of confidential information and it's difficult from a security standpoint to let them out into the wild.
Taking a page from the Onion...
I hope that you aren't suggesting that leaking classified material can get you assassinated by the government, because that's the kind of thing that can get you assassinated by the government...
Also, don't forget one of the biggest accusations of illegal activity was that it appears that the police were bribed by representatives of Murdoch Corp.
We'll see how that portion comes out in court, but it appears that it might have gone all the way to the top, hence the resignations of the chief of Scotland Yard.
We may see even more as apparently, one of the editors of the News of the World during the time of the phone hacking/alleged bribery went to join the Prime Minister's cabinet.
This was awesome and one of the first GOOD uses of multiple monitors; when I found out about this support and got it enabled, it was incredible to be able to have the tactical map on one monitor while doing the fine-control on the other.
It's too bad we don't have more games that allow you to drag HUD components and other tactical information onto another monitor, either by extending the screen and having a more customizable layout or doing it photoshop-style, having separate windows for additional display units.

Both one of the most amazing, and one of the most annoying webcomics of all time. Loved it.

Wasn't that more or less how the US went to the moon the first time?
Yes, and look what happened when we "won" that race. The Bad Astronomer made a great post about it.

Perhaps we're just too cynical.

And... uh... a king is just two pawns stacked on top of each other. ...wait.

Hey now, that's not been proven in court, though they're willing to settle...
Good thing the inventor of the Pacemaker didn't think like that.
