Cock-blocked a few here in Houston. Some will change three lanes in a row in one diagonal sweep with no blinker (a illegal maneuver) or, attempt to jump into the on-ramp at the last minute. Dude, I was in a RAV4! The prick ate those white flexy pole thingies (used as a lane divider). I'm sure him and his car was safe (minor bumper scratches I'm sure). Still, he didn't have to pull a dick move on me. He did, and lost. Obviously he fucked with the wrong guy =)
I agree. But Apple already has its stars aligned to succeed with this business model already. That just have to release a newer iOS for Apple TV, and perhaps a newer Apple TV that sports better 3D hardware. You just purchase and play online through the App Store. The same store with an account that's bound to perhaps an existing iPad, iPhone, and MacBook.
Apple really has their stuff together with the iOS platform. Make no mistake about that. BTW, this wouldn't be Apple's first entry into the home TV console market. They already had a first go of it with the Apple Pippin. So the business model is not completely foreign to them.
Vista was a half-assed pile of shit! And so was Server 2008 (same thing). It was only until Windows 7 (Server 2008 R2) did performance improve in disk I/O, SMB transfers, and memory utilization. Also, the Win7 / 2008R2 lineage finally overhauled the Windows Update engine that botched so many Vista / 2008 systems. Each time an update got installed, it was a roll of the dice. For a server environment, not cool.
Microchips. They didn't have them at the time. If an EMP went off today, just about everything not shielded would have individual gates fried on the silicon chip. You phone, cars ECU, laptop, iDevice, PC, Servers, networking equipment, etc... all fried. That means *bricked* in the true sense of the word. Might as well pull the phone out of your pocket and drop it on the ground. It's deadweight!
The fact is, technology has made our modern society far and away more vulnerable to the effects of an EMP.
The US wasn't detonating nuclear bombs as though you had a bunch of rednecks blowing up anthills. Some of the brightest minds in science poured over the data. Else, the bombs wouldn't have progressed at the technological level they had.
Do you have NetFlix? I highly recommend Trinity and Beyond: The Atomic Bomb Movie. It's about the most informative documentary flick I've watched in a while. Nukes in Space - Rainbow Bombs is another one worth watching. Both narrated by William Shatner.
Time Warner does just that. If your modem is spewing SPAM and other malware related traffic, it gets shutdown to all but one DNS redirected site of www.rrsecurity-abuse.com
Or maybe the left them on so the Feds could monitor who was looking for kiddy pr0n, music, videos, or anything else the could throw the book at people. Or at the very least, generate some stats of the type of idiots that let their PCs remain infected or broken without a proper AV suite installed.
The government always has a reason for what they do. This is not out of pure kindness or kindness sake alone.
iPhone with Bluetooth KVM capability. Leave the phone in your pocket and walk up to any public or private wireless KVM terminal. Pair the devices and your good to go. Walk away and continue to work on the open document sitting down in the airplane with a KVM mounted on the back of a seat in front of you. Need more GPU power? Ok, use a physical dock with a Thunderbolt connection to a breakout nVidia card.
Radio was invented and used in the early to mid 1900's for broadcast communications. It was used passively to obtain information, news, and entertainment.
Still on a 2000 domain? Ouch! Your organization will first have to upgrade to a 2003 domain before upgrading it yet again to 2008. There is no direct path from 2000 to 2008 Active Directory.
As with anything in IT, "take your time, but don't fall behind" should be an important motto to adhere too.
It's called SSRI discontinuation syndrome. I took Paxil when I was younger. I suffered a bad case of depression (still do, but I can now manage it without pills). I can confirm the "the shocks" do happen when you drop cold turkey from them. It also has a nack for making you rage in the process. Effectively, the brain is suffering and possibly in pain. I suppose by definition, that's what a withdrawal is.
BTW, never take or recommend Paxil. It's bad shit!
Nuclear civil war. Now that's a novel concept. China vs China, or America vs America. Don't think it can't happen. Nations do split from within. Though there are supposed to be nuclear code safeguarded measures against such things, but I'm not entire convinced it's good enough.
That's ok by me. Because it takes someone like me making 60+k a year to come in and cleanup the mess left over by the 32K guys fresh out of college. It breaks my heart having to cleanup after epic failure... Ehh, not really.
The quote reiterate it's in name-only for those who otherwise might not understand. The 'Church' of Scientology is nothing more than a pyramid scheme formed under the auspicious of a religion so that it may enjoy tax breaks from the IRS. Pure and simple!
More over, why in the hell would you be loading XP (soon to be EOLed) on new hardware?! It's quite possible some of the new hardware doesn't have drivers written that support XP. At least that's more true of laptops that desktops. Regardless, you just took a perfectly valid investment in new hardware and butchered the hell out of it. If anything other than Windows 7 isn't supported, good luck trying to get HP or Dell to acknowledge a buggy on-board video subsystem. Doesn't matter if if you're right and they're wrong. If it's not supported, they have every legal right to refuse support and RMA of hardware.
What was the interface? Most likely midi would be my guess. Though I suppose it could have been RS232 too. In any event, I don't see too many applications throw windows for a BSOD using either of those interfaces. At worst, the application bombs out. But with Windows XP on up, not likely. It might have been Windows 95 for all we know. A stand-alone PC they drag out once a year and upload a config.
Dealing with Monsanto is like dealing with the devil. Sure, they will improve your crop yield and provide a more consistent quality throughout each harvest. But, it comes at a cost with a binding contract. It's a classic case of taking one step forward, many steps back. But in the case of absolute starvation, sometimes the devil is the savior. Relatively speaking that is.
Sometimes you have to make a choice between "bad" and "worse".
Screw the SUV, you'll need a Monster Truck just to get out of the stuck mud. Oh, and they have a set of Truck Nutz swinging in the back. It's a requirement, trust me on this!
So Sony buys this to kill something that also benefits the likes of Microsoft, Nintendo, and Apple (assuming next gen AppleTV plays iOS games). Sorry, but I don't buy that argument. All it does it hurt Sony with a load of debt. Of course, I could be wrong. Who am I to say.

SonicWALL can't be beat for the SMB market. Even Dell knew this prior to purchasing the company (grumble grumble).
