Quoted from the article.." These natural structures have never been fully explained. Could they be produced by the effect observed by the Danish team? "I expect that similar conditions might apply in these atmospheric flows," says Bohr. But he admits that at this stage he doesn't understand the pattern-forming process well enough to be sure of the comparison.
Swinney, meanwhile, thinks that the process is unlikely to apply to large-scale flows such as that on Saturn, but might be relevant to smaller-scale phenomena such as tornadoes."
Seems that they realize that this is but baby steps, and there needs to be much more work done.
If the ISP's decided to change their method of service so drastically, could'nt the users file a class-action suit, because they are wandering so far from their TOS?
How about the idea that removing net neutrfality, will mean that they will have to start monitering traffic, wouldn't that go against the no-liability idea of being an ISP?
I am a unionised employee and I work in the entertainment industry. I know first hand the diffference between one building that is union and the other that isnt.
The union is there to protect the rights of the workers. Its also there so that the employer needs only to deal with a union rep, not 1000 employees.
If a company goes union, there is a reason for that. The employees feel that there is a reason. There must be so,ething wrong with management, if they feel the need.
Accroding to the video that I saw, the only reason they caught people doing things to people in parking lots, was ecause of their anti-union practices.
the only cameras that are present are to watch out for the union activity. If the companyu spends so much time and money to keep a union out of its store, means a lot to me. According to most of the attitudes on this site, is that if it is a failed business model, then the company must improve it, or fail. (Most of the MPAA-RIAA posts are explicit in this nature) So, if a store that makes 20 million a year per outlet can t afford anymore to pay anymore then minimum wage, then why should this store exist ? Is it not a failed business model to drive your competition out of business with low prices, and keep all your employees down? And to froce distributers to work within your narrow vision? Sounds a lot like microsoft to me.
I can buy a dollar store can opener, it will work for 4 or 5 cans. Then I need a new one. Or I can buy a treally nice one for 12 dollars, and never have to worry. Where is the savings ?
I am assuming that you have seen it? It isnt just how they treat their foreign workers, but how they treat thier North-American ones as well.
They spend all this time and money on market research. They know where and how close together to make the store sell. Every store makes well over a million dollars in sales a year.
The only store that they closed, was one in Quebec. They said that it was no longer profitable. The real reason is that people were able to start a union in that aparticualr store.
Doesnt that seem odd?
All the above were genuine at the beginning. As was disco. They took innovative bands and made everyone else like them. Bansa like Duran Duran, and NIN, were one of those driving forces. I wont overblow what Cobain did, but it got the music industry thinking forward for a while.
Things that are repetive like stroy lines in movies, can be re-worked, but if we are out of new ideas, maybe we shouldn't make the movie in the first place.
0Things are looking bleak.. can we just avoid the remakes ?
Seems that the industry is in the same pit that the musc industry was in, during the late eighties. Rehashing all the old crap from the 60's. Untill Cobaine came along and shook things up a bit. Maybe the Worchowski(sp? for the nazis) wil be our Nirvana of film?
Id rather watch a remake of DeepThroat then this. We all know how it ends anyway.
I bought some old fashioned 'learn spanish while you sleep;. I put it on, and the record skipped. I woke up, and all i could do was stutter in spanish.
What is it called when someone is sharing something that is copyrighted ?
The good thing about the DMCA is that it helps people protect thier image. If you discovered that a friends image was being used for promoting porn sites, they would want to have somethig there to help them.
As far as other companies 'stifling innovation', Lexmark was told that the DMCA wouldnt apply to them. They were going after 3rd party inkers.
I think that its important for there to be a level playing field. No matter what kind of law exists, someone wont like it.
WHy is it ok for the opensource people to take companies to court over GPL violations, when other companies go after you, for violating thier terms?
I think that the longer you put it off, the more expensive it will be. Do they take into account inflation?
On the oter hand fibre isnt that robust. Somethign happens to one cable and a whole lot of people go out.
according the the wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slashdot.. slashdot audience is about 50% windows users. The other part that was suggested is that some of these users are surfing ffrom work, and its windows, while they run linux at home.
I am a windows user, stuff that I send out to the world needs to be windows. Its easier on the tehrs in the house as well.
But now the ODf stuff that is going on, im more then ashppy to check it uot.
We have seen that the open-document-format take hold, and now the big iron is pulling away from MS, shortly after.
Given some more time, I think that we will see this trend continue. We will see more and more with ODF, taking MS's place. Even to the point of having document converters, to go from.docto.odf. This also the time to see the movement of the massess to a linux environment. I think you will see tax-programs, et al. moving because of the ODF as well.
I think that there will be a lot of script-style viri as well that will go throuigh everyones documents, ala the excell virus. The only reason that all this stuff didnt happen on larger scale, was because of the different formats.
But if every Joe-Linux Distro includeed a nice easy-top-use office, and all that, it would be easier to switch.
MS will become another smaller company.. It's innovations were in the 90s. Im ure that they will keep up for some time.. But this is a huge financial blow to them.
From the original article;
"On February 22, a Sweden-based Mac enthusiast set his Mac Mini as a server and invited hackers to break through the computer's security and gain root control, which would allow the attacker to take charge of the computer and delete files and folders or install applications.
Participants were given local client access to the target computer and invited to try their luck.
Within hours of going live, the "rm-my-mac" competition was over. The challenger posted this message on his Web site: "This sucks. Six hours later this poor little Mac was owned and this page got defaced".
The hacker that won the challenge, who asked ZDNet Australia to identify him only as "gwerdna", said he gained root control of the Mac in less than 30 minutes."
Right in there it says that local access was given..I dont understand how they missed it.
I was looking into the same idea. I thought that I could run a few things.
I was going to have a standard 12v car battery, then 8 or 10ayug wire, into a ups. then have the ups drive the pcs. There is also the idea of using CAr pc supplies. That will let you plug in directly. There is also an mini power conector that runs off 12V. I cant remember then name. It was at tyhis years CES tho. Its very small.
I thought that it was the idea here to get rid of all the excess supplies in the server box.
Maybe NASA needs to try to outsource some of this to other nations. Why not to Japan or even China ? Or even private companies. Im sure that google would love to be the one that found little green men.Why are we saddling something this big on one big company ? Isn't this how ENRON and all that happend? Too big to get anything done.
Scrap the orbiter missions. The ISS was a mistake. We need to go to another planet. I agree that we should be going to Mars. But we need an international co-operation, inter-nasa with funding from G8 countries.
When you are young, or are able to drive, and live in an area that allows one to choose, of course, you tend to move.
When it is a small town, with one bank machine, and the old-folks get off a bus. They are being forced to use that machine. No-where does that bank tell them that there are other banks around(Not that they should).l Now if they only want to take out 40$. The 1.50$ Interac fee, and now a 1.50$ 'convince fee'. Now it cost them almost 10% to take their money out. Of course it scales up. If your taking out 1000$ the fee is relative. But isnt this the same as me walkig into a convience store, buying a bottle of pop for a dollar, then being tacked on an extra quarter at the counter, because its a convience store ? Your already paying for an inflated price for a service.
Maybe darpa should charge the telecom companies for using the internet. I mean if it wasn't for their invention, none of us would be here.
I also think that local cities should ban this kind of extreme billing;. We all are paying for this anyway. I soubt that google et al. is gettin free acess.
Seattle did this with bank machines. They banned extra-user fees. They figured that the banks were getting the monthly money from you, and the interac fee, and now some are charging a 'convience' fee.

Honda Civic ?
The problem is that it isnt store managemnet that is the issue. Its head office. As far as it goes, you can google walmart and look past the first few entries, and look a little fuiuther, and start to see how many issues people are having with the store. http://www.walmartworkerscanada.com/ http://walmartwatch.com/ http://www.aflcio.org/corporatewatch/walmart/ http://www.1worldcommunication.org/Walmart.htm (boycot walmart in bangledesh) http://www.labourstart.org/wal-mart/ http://www.walmartmovie.com/facts.php (facts in the movie) i could go on

You might want to watch 'the high cost, of the low price of Walmart'. It is a very insightful and educating look at walmarts practices.

You dont need to use IE7. You can use amything else. Its not like they are saying that they will only allow you to search 'live' on their os.
what about google desktop ? You can't set any other search engine there? You cant use it to search hotmail ?
What about yahoo? It won't let you connect to google talk. Is that bad ?
Hey, if you dont know what a record is.. then how would you kow who Steven Wright ? :)
I bought some old fashioned 'learn spanish while you sleep;. I put it on, and the record skipped. I woke up, and all i could do was stutter in spanish.
Their product sounds better tben anyone elses, because of their format.
So why is it soh evil to drive their product? Why is one set of minimum specs ok, but not another? To use their OS yu need their systems.
If all the office programs become web-based then everyone will need internet access.

MAybe its becuase we are using non-ms browsers?? can you imagine their logs.. stating that the firat 80% was firefox or others?
release, is that the 360 is te most expensive machine that will go PING
