What I really hope is that the President-Elect was made fully aware of the situation by his staff and the authorities. Hopefully, this knowledge would inspire him to seriously consider the potential danger to our country in the area of network security. Of course we never hear stories of what we do to foreign countries, but I have definitely heard too many stories of what other countries do to us to be of a sound mind in regards to the integrity of our nations information infrastructure.

Yes. This is also a flaw in Batman Begins. However, if you think about it, the pacing and framing of each scene is akin to what you would see in a comic book. In essence, each scene is a frame. Am I the only one who thinks this?
Keep that dupe site up as a mirror universe to "our" slashdot. There, evil and conquest will reign supreme over discussion and civil discourse. Let all of our darkest thoughts and perversions run wild without editorial control! A no holds barred Darwinian process of devouring the weak will replace moderation. Women will be plentiful in this mirror universe of/.
You can banish out of favor "real" slashdotters there, kind of like that movie where all the prisoners were sent to that island where they formed their own warring societies. It will be the slashdot version of Austraila!
how about this: part of the appeal of a 21st century MacGuyver to a younger audience could be his ability to apply his wit to situations by coming up with low-tech solutions to high-tech problems. Kids today have grown up in a world where technology does most things for them: people today aren't as practical as they were in the past. Seeing someone who can manipulate the world around them in clever ways in order to solve problems could translate to fascination, and to the success of said project.
The problem with choosing leaders in American society today is that it usually boils down to who can sell their lies more craftily than the opposition, and can create a PERCEPTION of superiority over their opponent. Why not choose our leaders based upon something they cannot escape: the truth. This could be measured by a compromise between primitive and modern methods. At some point in history, humans chose their leaders based upon true physical competition. Whoever won the contest through their own strength or cunning, won the mantle of leader. We should ditch elections altogether once and choose the president through a competitive tournament style system, where they would all be subjected to questions on history, philosophy, and science, as well as competitions involving problem solving skills. Surely, a transparent, competitive, quasi-gladiatorial style ritual of choosing would surely produce a more fit leader than our current method of choosing someone based upon who can spin the best media performance, financially and otherwise.
I've tried to evaluate Ubuntu over the last 3 iterations of the release. It didn't meet my modest needs the first two occasions, and this time, on my Thinkpad, it will not even load up from the LiveCD, it pukes itself trying to load the display adapter. It says "Display server has shut down 6 times in the last 90 seconds. It is likely something bad is going on." No shit.
Nice Try, see you again in six months.
not only in the studio, but as a marketer as well. His Musicology tour in 2004 was the highest grossing act that year in the US. He gave away the associated album to every ticket holder who came in the door. He is smart enough to know that as a musician, your money is made on the road, not off of album sales. To a touring artist, the record is there primarily as a promotional tool to get tickets sold. Him giving away his newest record is just another way to get fans in the seats. Good for his fans, good for his revenue, while allowing him to still maintain full integrity (not letting your label railroad your fans - look up Trent Reznor's recent debacle with his new album in Austrailia). What more could a recording artist ask for?
A French press setup with freshly ground beans is the ticket. The coffee steeps like tea, then you press the grounds down to the bottom, leaving the rich goodness up top. You will have higher cholesterol drinking like this though; the oils are not filtered through paper.
If there was a feasible alternative, they would implement it. As superior as Linux is server side, it has a way to go on the end-user 's desktop. I mean, it can be a painstaking task just to get certain hardware to work correctly. As for the downside of paying an army of technicians to maintain it; I don't think that argument holds much water due to the fact that where I live, a Linux tech is a high dollar commodity.
I'm at the end of my rope Windows wise, but until Linux can compete with it's ease of use, it won't grow the way it needs to.
you can avoid the bloat situation by making sure you buy from the business section of their catalog/website. The business machines come with regular install CD's and clean images. However, you will have to purchase the items with a business credit card.
Star Trek became closer to Star Wars as time went along. And a new series based after a war? No shit....You'd think they would actually sit down and try to come up with a thought provoking story at some point.
It has less to do with the amount of prizes and awards available, and more to do with how we live. The curriculum in public schools is devolving into a watered-down, bland concoction designed to make people feel good about themselves, while as a nation, we are no longer wowed by anything in the hard-scientific realm. Rampant consumerism is the final frontier now....We are in danger of being slaves to our own success.
We need a breakthrough that will capture the imagination of the public at large. (Evidence of life on other planets would be great) Either that, or a new great war effort to spur on innovation and discovery. I would prefer the former.
I struggle daily to remind the users to NOT INSTALL SOFTWARE FROM THE INTERNET.
I hate Google Toolbar, Yahoo Toolbar and all the others not because those two are not useful, because they are, but rather because they condition the user to install EVERY FREAKING "IE Toolbar" out there. No Toolbars, period!
We don't let them do that where I work; the users do not have high enough privileges to install such applications.
Because the traditional methods of influence and control are not standing up to what the web has made available. It's an easier and more effective mechanism for criticizing your leaders, as well as organizing against them.
Bottome line: you have slightly more control now, and the leadership does not like that a bit.
of downtime. It's not uncommon for them to be overwhelmed with incoming connections, have certain services go down, etc. They started out as a company modestly i'm sure in terms of resources and hardware, and they just had the blessing/problem of exploding in popularity in a short time. Even since Rupert Murdoch bought them out, these service issues seem to have only worsened. It's interesting to note that with all of this new money at their disposal, they still haven't been able to cope with the demands of their user base. That just goes to show that if you don't have the right people in place doing their jobs, all the money in the world won't solve the problem.
That being said, I would say that managing that much traffic and data has to be quite the task.
Haven't you ever used an Apple IIe? I've never seen one of those things that didn't start out white and then slowly degrade to a piss-burnt yellow color.
Let me introduce you to Ceti Alpha V's only remaining indigenous life form;
what do you think? They've killed twenty of my people, including my
beloved wife. Oh, not all at once and not instantly, to be sure. Their
young enter through the ears and wrap themselves around the cerebral cortex.
This has the effect of rendering the victim extremely susceptible to
suggestion. Later, as they grow, follows madness, paralysis -- and
death. These are pets, of course -- not quite domesticated.
That's better! Now: tell me why you are here -- and tell me where I
may find James Kirk.
Only the Slashdot and like-minded crowd, that's for sure. Average Joe movie-watcher on the street knows nothing about Blu-Ray. When the DVD came along to be the next big format, it was quite clear to the consumer what the difference was between it and VHS. In this case the lines are a bit more blurry. Let's put it this way; I can explain to and show my 48 year old uncle why he might want to start watching DVD's instead of VHS; i'll have a much harder time telling him why he wants to buy a Blu-Ray movie as opposed to a cheaper DVD of the same title.

I realize that we aren't going to be trying to make a cloned copy from this data, but what uses is this "good enough" for?
It's most likely good enough to deny you health coverage. Pre-existing condition? Now risk can be assessed on pre-existing genes.

Virtual environments are becoming increasingly useful and prominent. Do you see virtualization making a dent in the demand for WINE?
