If it wasn't for Billy Gs ruthless style, the "PC" would still be a niche market with IBM controlling most of the market. Knowing IBM culture, it would have been primarily focused on the business community. Apple wouldn't have had the market to piggy-back on with their i-devices. In fact, the Internet as we know it would have still remained a domain primarily for Universities and large corporations.
If it wasn't for Billy G, the exchange of ideas and knowledge at a global scale would be setback for at least another 10 to 15 years from now. That greedy SOB left an untold wake of human progress behind. Fancy that!
When America declared independence from Great Britain, you didn't actually think the concept of Lordship went by the wayside did you? Lawyers are modern day Lords. Or as close as it comes to it anyways.
But at least Google is honest about their intentions. Right? If you dive right into Googles services knowing that, I don't see the problem. Personally I do mind, which is why I avoid such social sites all together in the first place.
No, an EMP will not zero out the drive platters, but they will induce enough current to fry the gates in microchips. That includes, RAM, ROM, Controller...etc. So data can be recovered as long as you replace the fried controller board.
SSDs on the other hand...toast. Toss it. It's deadweight.
Considering that DARPA played a part in funding packet switched technologies in the 1960s, I'm fairly certain redundancy was the goal in the event of a nuclear exchange. So if the Internet today was spawned from that primal goal of military redundancy, I don't think a few nukes will take it out entirely. Hit a few cities, and you'll break its back. Sure. But it will route around the damage.
That's equivalent to google taking a street picture of a house with its front door open exposing valuables. Several weeks later, that house gets robbed of only the items in view. The motive and scope of the crime is a moot point. The point is that once you leave something available to the public, it's up to the owner to minimize the risk.
Homo sapiens are an intelligent species. However, we use our intelligence to satisfy our primal needs rather than abstract ourselves from it. I still haven't decided if this is good or bad to maintain a cohesive civilization for generations to come. If the answer is "no", humanity may find itself using its intelligence for societal destruction and not simply entertainment...yet again.
While not required, having your workstations joined to a domain does make administration and deployment of 3rd party software much easer now that a trust relationship has been established. Installing an AV server-side package on an MS server is one such example. Administrating a network file share is another provided your drives are formatted NTFS.
It's been awhile, but last time I tried rolling my own Linux based file server (using ext3 FS) and joining it to a domain ended in failure. If you know of a way to make a member server via AD a snap, I'd love to here about it. And please, no jimmy rigging (hacking) to make it work.
Depending on the size of your company and it's organizational complexity, it's nice to have a local file server that you can manage with AD security groups. It also makes deployment of AV software and managing workstations much more manageable once they're joined to an AD domain as well. Don't discount a local MS infrastructure entirely. It still has its uses.
It's a liberal-american mindset. They're often anti-progress, anti-nationalism, anti-religion, anti-counrtrymen (military), anti-american, and overall, anti-human. Without question, this is culture deeply set within a guilt complex rooted in judeo christian values (of all things). It's as though the more we suffer ourselves as a species, the more we can atone for our sins in the eyes of mother nature. The irony however, is that a new religion as spawned from all this. Environmentalism, which is not to be confused with the overall practice of being just a good steward.
Moving any military equipment is going to be extremely heavy as it's often very hardened for many types of environments. Also, photovoltaics are extremely fragile, collect dust, and the lead acid batteries are heavy too. The only thing solar has going for it is that it's a readily available power source for part of the day. In remote places like Afghanistan where you want to setup sensors and relays, it could provide a strategic value where importing fuel would not.
I regularly feel like I'm not getting enough oxygen. Its a really scary feeling.
Depending on your age and health condition, you might want to invest in a small oximeter and a bottle of medical O2. Better yet, go have a scheduled physical checkup like everyone else.
Jocks will also do the type of jobs many Geeks wont do. I'm of the opinion that everyone has a unique place in this world; categorically more so than anything.
Government is very good about creating environments of "whack-a-mole". They attempt to solve a problem in one area while creating a whole vista of others in its place. In turn, it now has new excuses to expand coverage to address these new problems it created. Lather, rinse, repeat...until we all go broke and the system collapses under its own bloat.
Check out this robo-mule. It runs of a two-stroke engine and can withstand a kick to the side. The way in which it corrects itself in realtime is no different than that of a real animal. In fact, the motion is kinda creepy. A four legged headless beast.
Good, because I know several companies that use MS Terminal Servers and workstations with FireFox. As a Microsoft Shop, our company recommends that they use FF for security reason. However, we need/desire "official" GPO support. I found that FireFoxADM works iffy at best.
Sorry, can't leave murderers, rapists, and thugs alone. They need to be isolated and not be allowed to mingle among the general population. Justice must be served. Civilization must remain coherent.
Because we (Christians) prefer not to stone people and cut their hands off. Others just provide a bullet to the head. In short, jail serves two functions in the name of justice. Firstly, to protect the rest of law-abiding citizens. Secondly, to provide criminals a place to contemplate and reform. Assuming they still have enough years to their life left, they may join society again at some point into the future.
Fonolo is providing an interesting service. By why not skip the middleman and make visual directory dialing part of the VOIP standard? Is it not already? It would save so much time and frustration by dialing with any smartphone and instantly be provided with a directory tree, hosted by an IP PBX.

Scorched Earth policy. I like it! Better hope they have backups for when the data reaper comes.

Wait for it. Wait..... Ahem, taking bets on a future Apple 3DiPad or 3DiPhone. How soon will it come?

As long as geeks are continually abused, they will be loved at the same time by those that abuse them. See, we are important!

According to the auto-update inside FF4, it changed to FF5 upon relaunch auto-magically. It still works the same as it ever did. *shrug*
Oh that? I care less about the potheads. No need for them to be jailed because of that activity.

Speaking of Jockeys, why not use one of those instead of an 11-year old?
