So far it looks more like the boxer and druggie where in it for the money, with no history of activism, in fact more your typical absent of religious activity types. So who provided support, who paid them and why. It really depends how professionally made those amateur bombs were. So far more interesting would be those behind it, those that paid for it, rather than just those that carried it out. With plea bargain out of the question, getting answer will be difficult and forget torture. Torture's singular true purpose is to get people to say what you want them to say, not the truth, just what ever you want them to say.
With the majority of funding coming out of Saudi Arabia. In fact the bulk of global funding for the Wahabist sect of Sunni Islam comes out of Saudi Arabia. Watch something like Lawrence of Arabia to be reminded of how little unity there is in reality between Islamic nations. Currently the only true link is Islamic terrorism is Saudi Arabian funded Islamic schools, pretty blatantly obvious, yet completely and totally ignored by the US because of, why?
Technically difficult as that bandwidth was sold without those conditions hence you would have to pay a proportion back for removal of areas of bandwidth. Next you are interfering with the contract of third parties, that of the supplier to their customer and to which you have no legal right nor contractual access to. Next is exceeding the bounds of your property, limits are something in the order of 50mm for construction and would be similar for a transmitted signal, pretty nigh impossible to control in that regard. So blocking and earthing is your only legal recourse. Cell phone jamming equipment should also be illegal as it is designed to transmit on bandwidths the manufacturers and sellers have no legal right to.
It is all about forced regular monitoring of your Facebook account. Facebook are attempting to force a series of communication issues and friend and relative relations in such a way as to force you to regularly check you account, regularly being as often as possible, to order to prevent harm to real world relationships. Each access equals advertising dollars. So drop Facebook and escape the purposeful built psychopath designed trap. They really are a pack of shit heads.
Basically it all boils down to net neutrality. To maintain net neutrality requires laws, these laws basically protect the individuals right of the nature of access and establishes hard limits upon controls being placed upon that access. Now the right is opposed to that because they want unfettered corporate controls upon individual access, including unlimited monitoring, censorship and alteration of communications, with a greed is God mentality.
Regardless no matter where in the world, the internet always crosses and is embedded in government territory ie where all the cable is laid and crossing state and national boundaries, hence the justification for government control and limits placed upon business that operate it or the preference for a government provided essential utility (as for any claims that the internet is not an essential utility, don't bother talking utter rot).
It could have been a straight up murder attempt with the murderer seeking to obscure the attack behind terrorism. In this case the target possibly being a runner. The two remotely detonated bombs, placed a ground level in close walking distance were not timed to the first person crossing the line, when the numbers would have been greatest.
Cell phone jamming, is the active act of transmitting a signal on a bandwidth that you did not pay for and have no right to. This is completely different to cell phone transmission blocking. Glass windows are the biggest culprit for allowing signals through so mesh over windows. Roofs are arbitrary due to alignment to signal, excluding of course step pitched roofs. External walls require a suitable grounded mesh set in render or internal plasterboard removed and the grounded mesh placed there and the plasterboard replaced, either that or a second layer of plasterboard over the grounded mesh.
You can clearly see that legally blocking a signal is far more expensive than illegally jamming a signal, not so bad if specifically done during original construction. Cell phone jamming can never be legal unless that right is purchased back off the buyers of those portions of bandwidth.
Not to forget the very thin skins of scientist types, known to get is quite a flat about perceived issues of Status. As for the Novartis, pretty bloody obvious the dirty players here are the private partner over hyping and selling the technology and Novatris obviously trying to shift fault from the private company with limited fiscal resources and on to the Australian government for the major revenue gaining law suit (must be losing as it is now pushing the bad publicity angle).
As for operating like a business the previous conservative government are the ones that fucked it all up, don't think so. Think about agricultural research and researching and introducing a natural control agent. Millions go out in research, you save billions in pest control losses but you have to give it away free and can not sell it to a private and politically friendly corporation who then on sells it for billions in profits. Hence the project does not generate a profit and must be killed off. Stupid short term thinking brought to you by greed driven ignorance.
CSIRO research should be non-profit free to public access with patent fees outside of Australia. With focus on non-profit generating by high cost saving solutions. Something private industries obviously will never fucking pay for, hence the need for government funding.
Just wait until, hmm, the whole smart watch market is taking on the distinct feel of the vapour ware watch market. Rumours and innuendo from all over the place, destined to flood any real product and deflate sales by having to compete with a huge number of vapour ware watches that will maybe, might be, possibly better cheaper cooler and soon maybe, might be, possibly released. This was the grand tactic in the eighties vapour ware products to kill off products from competitors while they felt out whether it was worth entering the market.
So big screen internet connected TV, home theatre, desktop, note pad, touch pad, smart phone, music player, smart watch, smart necklace, smart ring, smart shoes or is that all just getting too "Get Smart" and you would just have to be too Agent 86ed to buy into it all.
Dictionary attack fails due to time constraints as the complexity is just as great for completely mixed characters as for a pass phrase as you must guess all the words simultaneously rather than solve one word at a time. Pass phrase is quite simply the best realistic solution as it provides plenty of characters while being easy to remember and from the outside it is still unknown whether you are using any other characters in the pass word hence they still must be checked and PS spaces are never used is pass phrases why bother.
Small business is an interesting market having dealt with the a lot, there a couple characteristics worth mentioning. They often do not play well with others, the reason they are in small business is they are often unemployable otherwise. They often have a cheap greedy streak that makes doing business with them painful. The typical statistic for small businesses is that 9 out of 10 fail in the first two years. So churn is huge and the actual size of the small business market is, likely, 90% smaller than it appears because who wants to deal with the ones destined to go belly up. Apart from of course those brutal Westfield shopping mall types, where they have to be paid upfront to refurbish the rental space to suit the new small business, they get paid first out of a percentage of 'turnover' and eviction is super fast so as to set the trap for the next 9 out of 10 small businesses.
As far as the internet is concerned, small business was often about supplying a specialist product to a limited market. The internet allows manufactures to supply direct to that specialist market globally, making the internet more of an enemy of small business rather than as it is promoted a useful tool.
The internet tends to favour medium and large business as it more readily enables direct relations with end users, thus squeezing out the position that used to be filled by small business. Unless of course small business is being preserved by medium and large business in order to shift liabilities on questionable products or practices. Small business is very like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, it might look like something from afar but as you try to approach it, it keeps shifting.
No windows 8 is a smart phone interface in a crazy Uncle fester hair brained scheme (considering the lack of hair it's not surprising it is failing so badly), that if he gets people used to the windows phone interface on the desktop and notebook they will automatically buy windows phones like mindless sheep, all the rest is total bullshit.
Instead typical users with the typical usage patterns are getting really pissed off and learning to truly loathe and hate that interface, in their minds locked in will be the permanent distaste of that appearance. They simply don't use it enough to ever be accustomed to it.
Power users are simply seeking alternatives and marketdroids are just lying about their experiences.
When it comes to promoting creativity it is pretty simple. You need to promote communications between people, in the right environment that not only promotes delay and discussion but also contemplation of real issues. Goggle more or less stumbled upon it and then assumed people with certain preferred qualifications could recreate it (this drew in others who tried to copy it), only to find that fails as it only exists at it's campus rather than at other locations.
The most important part of it is people who will lead it, assist it along, manage the environment to promote it and continue to support it. The Yahoo effort will be a massive fail, first up the idiot attempt to force it by taking away something from the employees the only thing they will discuss is the bitch that forced it upon them and that will only drive down morale and cripple creativity. Smart idea to ensure you are on track, do the exact opposite of the crazy Yahoo move and enable work from home but try to create a working environment that gets people to prefer the office. In many ways the office needs to feel like home but be better and more social.
You in fact lied. A registration plate and a vehicle matching the details on the registration plate are required and the owner can contest the penalty if they can provide evidence of the vehicle being elsewhere at the time. In the case of the IP address, an agent acting for the copyright holders, who gets paid per claim, makes a claim of infringement against an IP address at a particular time. This in turn is sent to an ISP who then sends their internal details of the accounting relatively matching to the use of the IP address at the time with no guarantee of accuracy ie should it be incorrect they do not indemnify the person named for all losses and psychological harm. Now that pretty much worthless circumstantial evidence for a "SEVEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR PENALTY". Which in a criminal court would require substantive evidence.
AOL largely deleted except as a spam drop, for requested emails. MSN for questionable email and simple 'MSN Home' aggregation of irregularly used gadgets. Yahoo Home similar irregular gadget aggregation. Google+ just a look with no regular use and no automatic logon, Google search registration dropped when they dropped filtering search results, no GMail. I do my electronic social connections manually. I found Facebook far too aggressively pushes full disclosure of all private social connections and continual updating and monitoring, so simpler to drop it. I mentioned my relationship with Facebook as disclosure ie I do not like them nor do I trust them. So I spread my use of services over several portals.
You need to add, over valued, debt burdened infrastructure, which will drop prices to cripple any new start up who enters the market at their most critical, high capital investment and low revenues. Basically the US and a whole bunch of the rest of the globes, telecommunications infrastructure is run by psychopaths who don't give a fuck about anyone or anything other than their own inflated salaries and bonuses. They corrupt the democratic process to protect this bullshit because otherwise the democratic process would force change to ensure the telecommunications structure provided fair and equitable access that would promote open communications and national development. They do this as a monopoly or via cartels to ensure grossly inflated profits with fuck you customer service.
PR, marketing agencies, lobbyists and politicians try to gloss over this, but painting shit doesn't really change it, it just temporarily makes it shiny, poke it just a bit and the coating fails and the stench comes out. So you get the worst possible telecommunications infrastructure that greed obsessed psychopaths can get away with, admittedly while lying, cheating and stealing to achieve it. This continues until sufficient counter pressure is put on government to force change ie computer geeks and nerds go on a media blitz attacking, denigrating and exposing each and every politician at all levels that are opposed to forcing change and ensuring a national to the home fibre optic broadband network fucking yesterday.
When it comes to flinging particles at things, photons just aren't really all that effective. The navy should pay more attention to the other particle accelerators floating around the place. Accelerate them in a loop and then intercept that loop at the appropriate time when the particle has reached the desired speed and at the desired vector. Far better than straight linear acceleration. Only the top of the loop needs to be above deck with the rest below deck with the diameter of the loop governed by the beam of the ship at that point. The strength of the field accelerating it also keeps the centrifugal force in the particle from abrading the surfaces providing the electro magnetic force. More than one loop can coincide with a particular release point to increase rate of fire. Voilà you have created the electronic sling. The release point would still included a linear accelerating barrel as it simplifies vector control. Size and nature of particle then become interesting design choices.
I'll bet you attitude and comments would significantly change when you are on the life altering receiving end of somebody paying to much attention to their phone and misinterpreting a quick distracted glance at traffic lights. It really does happen and legislation attempts to balance what, hmm, that consequence with commercial convenience. How many altered lives are in the balance with how much cost is generated by the inconvenience. All seems fair and reasonable until the odds toss your life into that balance and you never get to choose when somebody else gets distracted you just get the consequences. One day you will get mown down by that distracted driver, regardless of how much attention you pay or not, the gamble is going each time you get on the roads and as you get older your body becomes far less capable of absorbing those impacts.
No the Facebook product is quite different. You have to stop thinking of yourself as the typical user and think about the real typical user. I would be concerned for Facebook addicts and this device that makes addiction simpler, quite a few people are going to find themselves in serious psychological trouble. The unrealities of who and who are not really friends, competition in perceived social acceptance and distortion of self image, makes this device and the actual greed driven intent behind this device in it's application quite nasty. Designed from the get go to be psychologically addictive for those susceptible to it. Facebook have demonstrated how nasty they are and how aggressively they will target those vulnerable to their manipulations. To be clear I did go through that whole laborious process of deleting my account because it became apparent how privacy invasive they truly were and definitely not to be trusted.
Watch, I've stopped wearing one for most of the time and I am finding quite surprising how uncomfortable they truly are. I can't imagine what require me to put one back on all of the time, world war three and the disabling of the internet and all telecommunications? Once you carry a smart phone why carry a watch?
It is all a result of those major movie studios never really understanding computer gaming and trying to buy up all those independent gaming studios to create the illusion of growing income within the expanding conglomerate (to inflate executive salaries and bonuses) only to find there is very little value in the old game titles that came with those independent gaming studios. The whole game publisher market with it's access to brick and mortar outlets is also coming under pressure with direct on-line sales in boxed format and digital sales.
Also foreign gaming is now coming in and unlike movie or TV content, if the gaming is good the language translation is fairly cheap and this is creating a new flood of content.
That old model of incompetent nepotism just buying up other companies and pretending that's revenue growth and management skill is falling apart. Why would Disney buy Lucas arts, only to shut it down, git rid of the competition? Those gaming licences just like media content licences have proven to be pretty much shit value because they just add enormous cost to new game development which often destroys the game before it gets out of the door for lack of playability. Cheaper to come up with a new 'theme' and a thin storey and focus on game play, which has proven to be far more profitable.
In August 2011, Linus Torvalds said that "eventually Android and Linux would come back to a common kernel, but it will probably not be for four to five years". In December 2011, Greg Kroah-Hartman announced the start of the Android Mainlining Project, which aims to put some Android drivers, patches and features back into the Linux kernel, starting in Linux 3.3. Linux included the autosleep and wakelocks capabilities in the 3.5 kernel, after many previous attempts at merger. The interfaces are the same but the upstream Linux implementation allows for two different suspend modes: to memory (the traditional suspend that Android uses), and to disk (hibernate, as it is known on the desktop). The merge will be complete starting with Kernel 3.8, Google has opened a public code repository that contains their experimental work to re-base Android off Kernel 3.8. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)
Some people just never get, nor will ever understand GNU Linux. Forks, mergers, branches are all part and parcel of the system.
