I used to do this in my dormitory some 7 years ago. My iptables-triggered scripts added the infected PCs to the squid ACL whose members' every web request was redirected to information page that explained what happened and what to do.
Wait, you OWNED the router in your dorm? or did you merely Pwon it?
Well, in the same post you lament the fact that the interstate is a lawless jungle of bad behavior and also that traffic cops aren't investigating murders.
It seems to me you haven't yet though this thru. Some gang drive by might kill one or two innocent people pet incident. Somehow that worries me less than the drug addled road rage that kills your entire family because they didn't plan a lane change till the last second.
Your theory isn't holding up in the face of the data. Googles Cars have logged hundreds of thousands of miles and have one accident caused by human error.
Slow vehicle driving significantly black the prevailing speed cause accidents for other vehicles, while seldom getting hit themselves. They cause chain reaction fender benders two or three cars back, which they are seldom even aware of, and drive away, never to show up in accident statistics.
At least that's the theory put forth by those who perpetually drive over the speed limit.
You can't build a mesh until you have some place for the mesh to connect. If you are out in the sticks so far that you have no radio coverage, there is not likely any nearby mesh members either.
I can see where being deep in a ravine with your home base transmitter on the other side of a mountain might present a localized situation which might be solved if you could some how get a mesh partner on top of that mountain.
But knowing how long it takes to get something working it would be easier to send a guy out in a support car to some intermediate point and simply relay data back and forth until air assets arrive.
Does someone living near by have wifi you could tap into? Maybe. But is Grandma going to have a clue how to turn off encryption or even what the password is when you wake her by pounding on her door in the middle of the night?
Satellite phones can be had for under 700 bucks, and an annual satphone plan starts Under 500/yr. I would recommend radio mapping the service area and determining those areas where there is no radio service and equip at least one unit in that are with sat phones.
But before you go to that expense take that cell phone out of your pocket and see if it works in these areas. If it does, your mesh is already in your pocket, and just forget about ad-hoc anything in an emergency.
But Craftsmen has the word men in it, which might be viewed as exclusive. So perhaps it should be Craftspersons. But persons has the word son in it which implies a male child, which might be viewed as exclusive. So perhaps it should be Craftsperchild.
how do they know it was near Shetland for 98 years?
They obviously don't. In fact, unless there are some incredibly regular local current loops this bottle could have traveled a very long way. These were designed to sink to some depth, (but obviously not to the bottom) and flow with the currents, and be below the depth where they would likely be dashed on the rocks by waves.
Looking at a map of the Atlantic Currents its quite possible these bottles may have covered would be up to the arctic, back down along Greenland, Labrador, delivered to the North Atlantic Drift and back to Shetland. Probably many round such trips over the years.
Yup, its a problem on touch screens. Scrolling with a thumb at the edge of a screen is pretty natural. Swiping across your work space puts you hand in your vision for much of the time, and increases the area that you need to wipe clean every half hour.
And reaching across you keyboard to do this on a touch screen laptop is even more of a mess.
i thought that might be it. you know that after you drag it somewhere else you can lock it so it can't be dragged again until you unlock it?
I'm sure he does know that. But does your Grandmother?
Most of us here have had to talk barely computer literate friends, customers, and family members through the task of recovering task bars that users dragged to oddball places, shrunk down to nothing or perhaps hidden, after shrinking and dragging.
Its a configuration option that was never really worth having, even for those of us who generally like configurability.(And of course the mess you can get into with taskbars and panels on KDE can be even worse, but I digress).
Seriously though, I believe win 8 is good work. Some idiot in Redmond decided that it was a good idea to unify both the touch interface and the desktop interface into one experience and for the biggest part of it they didn't do a half bad job.
This is fine, IFF you have a touch screen. But baring that, the interface is just an outright non-starter.
Even with a touch screen, scrolling like a whirling dervish trying to find the pane that contains the application you want is just inefficient, a huge waste of energy (and one that gets more wasteful as your screen gets larger).
The start bar and application menu that every desktop OS had wasn't developed and perfected over the years on a whim. Windows 8 desktop was.
You make a huge distinction for very little difference.
Regardless of HOW they get the user to use a proxy server, they still systematically socially engineering them to do so.
That they use methods that were designed for corporate phones and apply them to public subscribers is simply more evidence of misbehavior.
That you accepted my gift of a wall clock does not excuse the presence of my listening device embedded therein, even if the fine print in the clock's user manual mentioned it.
Well strictly speaking remote processing isn't necessary nor is it always present. Remote storage with redundancy and backup managed by others (Skydrive, dropbox) is really what most people see. If you get any remote processing (aka amazon, Azure) its probably more akin to scalable hosting.
Lumping all those different capabilities under one name helps no-one.
Those that sign up, will be at the mercy of the UN (useless nations), bank on it.
Which is to say they will face no restrictions what so ever, and will be free to use the nuclear material for any purpose they want with no fear of anything but a stern "talking to".
This probably amounts to a promise of refueling from the original reactor manufacturer, because most of these are one-off designs or made to specifications such that fuel rods can only be manufactured by one source. So realistically, you only have one country you have to remain on good terms with, and that is the country that supplied your reactor. Even if there was a fuel bank, they are not likely to be trusted with any significant amount of fuel, and would simply serve as an intermediary to process orders. So if you piss off the country that made your reactor the chances are you still would get no fuel, unless you could go to the UN and have them deliver a vicious tongue lashing to the country withholding the rods.
A point of technical accuracy; on iOS you could not sell an app that would alter the destination of traffic for all other apps.
Instead, they are using a configuration profile - it's the same mechanism that enables a company to configure iOS devices. The configuration profile can load in mandatory PIN use, or other settings for the phone - including a network proxy as we see here.
As you say, users will not really care... but even so I can't see them tricking many users into doing this.
Still, what happened to the curated garden that Apple is so proud of?
An app that helps singles find others in bars is booted from the App store for fear of stalking, but one that steals ALL your traffic is OK?
90% of IPhone users have no clue what the pop-ups and check boxes mean. Its just some techno-talk-gibberish that you have to click OK in order to use you cool new app.
One wonders what evolutionary advantage the high-expression version of this gene might have yielded.
"The MAOA gene regulates the activity of an enzyme that breaks down serontin (sic), dopamine and other neurotransmitters in the brain. The low-expression version of the MAOA gene promotes higher levels of monoamine, which allows larger amounts of these neurotransmitters to stay in the brain and boost mood."
You can understand why the low-expression form might be advantageous, but the high-expression form would seem to make one pretty much always depressed and hard to live with.
Predisposition toward being depressed does not immediately suggest any advantage in getting your offspring into the next generation, or even any advantage in ensuring your immediate survival, let alone attracting a mate.
The findings surprised the researchers, because that same gene has been linked to alcoholism, aggression and generally antisocial behavior.
Left unsaid is if this prior linkage was found in males or females. With testosterone being suspected to deactivate the low-expression version of MAOA, it might make sense that such a linkage toward aggression would be more likely to be found in males.
It would seem Cats must have a two copies of the low expression version.
If the trial judge doesn't reject this verdict outright, it gets immediately appealed, and taken out of her hands.
Further Apple's requested ban pretty much is Dead On Arrival with this kind of stuff floating around. Usually, on appeal, you don't go back to another Jury.
Is this a joke? Have you never seen the red/blonde haired blue/green/grey eyed people in northern South Asia? Or the blonde Aborigines? Or black people with blue eyes? The iconic ancient painting of (maybe) Tocharians with red hair and blue eyes? Sure, the diversity increases in (northern) Europe, but it assuredly exists elsewhere (the Nazis had problems explaining it).
Surely you have heard of recessive genes, and the decreasing chance of being Black or Asian and having blue eyes. Without a blue eyed person in the family tree of BOTH parents your chance of having blue eyes is slim to none.
It turns out its not quite as simple as that because eye color is not controlled strictly by one gene, and there are more than one path to blue eyes (and all of them are recessive genes).
There are rare mutations that can spontaneously cause blue eyes as well. These are even rarer.
That you can point to a few individuals that have unexpected eye and hair color means nothing.
You really don't have that much bandwidth to hand around. Depending on radio conditions you might have 100kb/s - for everyone to share.
Sez who? LTE can easily reach 6 miles, with acceptable performance at 18 miles. WiMax can push to 30 miles.
So simply optimizing an LTE radio for vertical lobes in addition to horizontal will easily service a couple hundred phones thru an on-board femtocell, or an onboard wifi router.

That makes no sense, even at the level of basic english sentence structure, let alone in the real world.

If yours was the way science operates we'd still operate out of caves.
But Sir: Some of the measurements used in this study were taken deep under ground. Follow the first link in TFA.

Jury Misconduct. Plain and Simple.

Except now they can use a fingerprint database search to build their list of likely suspects.
So what?
Prints found on the murder weapon point to the most likely suspects.
Why would you have them look elsewhere than at the most likely suspects?
