But when lives are on the line, a more conservative approach is called for.
You know nothing about being a first responder, especially out in rural areas where radio coverage may be spotty to non-existent.
Lives are on the line whether you have working comm or not. There were times I would have settled for two tin cans and a string if I could call for mutual aid on it. During emergencies ad-hoc networks could be a lifesaver.
There is a big need for self-discovering networking between emergency response vehicles. You won't find any commercial solutions in the budget of most departments.
Maybe drag your fat butt out and pull some volunteer shifts before you start telling people in the field what they need.
My personal experience hiring rock star developers led me to believe they're more of pain than they're worth. I'd rather hire the number 2 programmer with a better attitude.
Rock star developers most often work the hardest at feathering their own nest at the expense of everyone else on the project. Trying to become immune to layoffs and working themselves into a position they can demand more money.
Many of them will keep junior programmers from learning enough to be really useful and are ultimately counter-productive to the health of the project.
Who thinks this shit up? We'll just design this little nanobot that seeks out a neuron, cuts a hole in it and welds itself into place and then it will start injecting shit into your thought patterns. Like it's no problem.
I disagree with people who act like taxes are some kind of evil government plot. I don't mind paying taxes as long as I get something back for it.
I'm just not seeing a win for taxpayers in a broadband tax. I'd rather see the government take back the internet and regulate it like any other utility. Privatizing the internet has been a big win for telecos and cable companies, not so much for the rest of us.
Leaving the United States as the largest third world country without universal health care.
We're getting beat by Mexico while Congress is fighting over funding for Planned Parenthood by people who want to turn Medicare into a discount coupon program.
In the middle of Scocades didn't it surface that they got a lot of money from Microsoft, which was in the midst of the Vista disaster and didn't want anyone thinking about migrating to Linux until Windows 7 was safely on the market.
They bought some Linux licenses from SCO to help fund the litigation, isn't that right? There was more than a little evidence the whole thing was really litigation by proxy.
Those were the days the Big B was making personal appearances in the corporate jet to talk a couple cities out of switching to Linux. One went ahead and one in the U.K. threw in the towel if memory serves.
You can keep a Windows box around for specific tasks while running the bulk of your system on open source.
I run the bulk of my current business on Ubuntu, but keep a Windows box around for my one client that wants to use Word and some other Windows only software.
Now the Dems can segue from pounding on Romney about not releasing his tax returns to pounding on Republicans about wanting to turn Medicare into a voucher program so rich people don't have to pay more in taxes.
Whoever decided to release this on Saturday should be beat with sticks. Had the announcement gone out on Monday, they could have owned the news cycle. Now the Dems will have their surrogates ready with a simple talking point that they can just keep hammering all the way to November.
The best thing I can say about picking Ryan is it was better than picking Sarah Palin.
On virus announcements, why don't they ever mention vulnerable operating systems? Not all malware can infect all operating systems. It would be nice to know the specifics.
Then again, maybe Microsoft wouldn't like the bad PR.
All this drought, devastation and disaster from just under 1 degree C. Imagine what it will be like at 2 degrees! When you multiply the amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of the oceans and air by 1 degree, it's a number that's off the charts. How did people think we could dump that much energy into any system and it would not make a difference?
And his logic is hard to fault. He pointed to the B-52 as an example of a flexible weapons platform that had a wide variety of uses that didn't require stealth technology compared to the limited usefulness of the F-117.
Solid, reliable and flexible is more important than stealth, which was designed for a war we're likely never going to fight.
Amazon tells you that if you want to be in their lending library the content has to be exclusive to them for 90 days.
At the end of 90 days you discover that the 90 day clock resets. Instead of just saying as long as you want to be in the lending library, the content has to be exclusive, they play the recurring 90 day game.
I'm guessing if they just came right out and told the truth it might be challenged as anti-competitive.
I'm also guessing some big titles get a better deal.
I realize you're joking, but my wife can order shoes on Ubuntu 12.04 with no problems at all and she's probably one of the least technical people I know.

There has to be some way to get this crap off a computer.

Just amazing.

Nobody's going to buy that piece of crap. It's a glorified golf cart.
And you'd be wrong. At 100+ miles to a charge, you could use it anywhere you could use a scooter.
A glorified golf cart would be all a lot of people would need. If it can go 45 mph, you can drive it on city streets.
If they could bump the speed up to 55 and extend the range a bit, it would be a lot more useful, but they'll sell at the functionality they have now.
I don't care if they stand in the heavenly courts and fart choir music, the ends don't justify extortion to fund their business model.
Republicans will make the convention a mess, not the hurricane.

Or maybe they're planning on sending some people with bats around to make sure his lifetime commitment comes a close on schedule.
Anyone else think the legal system would make more sense if they were smoking crack?

If it starts getting too profitable the drug companies will step in and take it over.

The company has avoided directly challenging Linux developer/distributors such IBM or Red Hat, instead targeting partners and customers."
Don't do business with Microsoft. If this is their new business model, sell your MSFT stock.

human fingerprints, faces and eyes and even sweat glands and buttock pressure.
A fellow programmer and I used to joke about developing a bunghole scanner for identification. Not so funny now, is it?
Does the FinFisher software work across all platforms? Windows, Mac and Linux?
Whenever I hear about spyware like FinFisher, I have what is perhaps a false sense of security that it's really talking about Windows.
Mission accomplished breeders. Enough already.
