They're sans value for you. A rugged PDA may be useful to people who spend their days in factories, or even (gasp) setting up wi-fi antennas.
I had to trade in my cellphone for an ugly ruggedized one because I was destroying it slowly. It's part of the job. You spend time climbing through ceilings doing wiring, up on building roofs pointing antennas, or a million other little jobs that come up, you don't want to be getting undressed every time because you're afraid of ruining your expensive kit.
How exactly would NAT protect them? A amjor control vector for these bot-nets is IRC, which can be used through NAT. The infection vector is e-mail, which is also useable through NAT.
If NAT became widespread, then the zombies will adapt. It is only a false sense of security.
Not to mention the fact that he went through all the trouble to redo the movie for the THX release. Digitize that one, goddamn it! It's done!
The shit he pulled with the ending of Jedi shouldn't even make the fucking blooper reel. Yet he's talking about wasting money?
Fuck him. Fuck him in the ass. Petition your congressmen to release his movies into the public domain. Just dont' fucking buy this version.
And, as an aside, I'll bet you dollars to donuts that the original versions will make it to DVD (at least the THX release) and this is just a big fucking stunt to whip us up into a fury so we'll buy both.
The main problem that I have with the FF series is the fact that there isn't enough character development. I don't want wild tangents on the origins of the characters. I don't want characters to dissappear halfway through the quest, only to be replaced by a crappier one, having to spend forever levelling up that one. I try to keep my characters levels somewhat even. I do not want to have a level three white witch cast upon my party of level 20 fighters. If I wanted a white witch in the party, I'd start the game with a white witch. If not, I'll just buy a shitload of potions. The original FF had it right. I could play that game with whatever characters I wanted. Sure the scope was limited then, but broaden the scope, don't change the rules!
In most cases the power is there anyways. If everyone across the board cut down on their power consumption, then it would make a difference. The plant would start scaling back their energy production, or (more likely) turn and sell the power to markets who need it. Electricity is not a tangible thing. You can not put it in a room and store it. You can not warehouse it.
When's the last time a power plant was shut down because they made too much electricity the week before?
It's not a valid point across the board. At our building we are charged for peak usage, not per kw/h. Any cost savings would be negligible, and if all the users came in at the same time and turned their machines on, it would cost us more. We cut electrical costs by wiring the rooftop air conditioners so they wouldn't start up at the same time, and don't worry about the pc's idling.
In the end, once they get developed to some reasonable extent, they're gonna hit the wall because the way their society is organized, it can't truly prosper. To make that final step, they'll need good democracy
Why do you insist on democracy for success? Is the USA the model for democracy, with all of its perceived freedoms, but government oppression? Government is about fascism. As long as humans run Government, it will never act benevolently.
Soviet Russia collapsed because of the capitlaist pressures from the outside, as well as the corruption of the elite ruling class. It's not the system that is flawed, but the players and the game.
China will adapt to maximize its world presence. It does not have to turn into a democracy, but it is well on its way to embracing some democratic ideals. They just have to strike a balance, and their communism has just as much of success as our capitalism with some communistic ideals.
As for Japan, the economy tanked because they saw layoffs as a form of business failure, and the investors punished them for that, and then they were faced with more layoffs that they did not want to do, and they were punished again. Now that is a very simplistic view, but their 'honour' was punished by greed.
And there would be plenty of countries lined up to take the surplus stock off of China's hands, as well as supply natural resources to China. The other countries couldn't produce fast enough for the U.S. initially.
It would hurt both ways, but it would hurt the U.S. more. Wal-mart alone would go crazy.
Many of the social hardships were state-imposed. They knew that the transition would hurt, and hurt a lot. China had to do things very drasticly, quickly, and covertly, so as to not tip off the rest of the world and have the rest of the world isolate them. People were unemployed, homeless, and starving. But it got better, and quickly.
Isn't it strange that this all ramped up and came to fruition when China got control of Taiwan, it's gateway to the West? Funnel goods from China to Taiwanese companies, Taiwanese companies sell goods to everyone else, nobody has to deal with the 'Red Menace' Chinamen?
Seems we got played, and had our asses handed to us on that one.
As for "works on how to run a government" maybe the Chinese should read those themselves.
Umm, their government was totally crooked when the U.S. was trying to find the best way to exploit their workers. They beat the U.S. there.
The war is on. And the Chinese will win. All they have to do is stop shipping to the U.S. and it will hurt the U.S. faster than it will hurt China. They now have the ability to not only raise themselves to first world status, but the ability to lower others from first world to second and third world status. on a whim.
All the U.S. has is nukes. And they'll go about as far as its righteous indignation.
Not only are they patient, they are controlling resources. They do not have destructive competition as we do here. If competition is good for the economy, they keep it. If it is bad, they simply repurpose a company. There is no redoubling of effort for no perceived gain.
As an additional caveat, they get to completely skip the industrial revolution, but get all the benefits. They didn't have to invent and refine the assembly line, the cotton gin, the milling machine, anything that would increase production. They simply bought them. And when they couldn't buy them, they threw their biggest natural resource at the problem; their population.
It's socialist capitalization, and unfortunately for us, it's quite effective!

Given that those are our options, that's easy. The innocent ones.

You can find it all there, including a C program that fires off a local cmd shell.
Only for use as a security lesson and ethical hacking.
read/write times suck. But you could probably combo all of this with ram drives . A complete solid-state pc would be cool for inside the car.
They want to be a r1c|-| 1337 h4x0r.
Stop drinking it and I'll tell you in a week.

Again, I say 'Fuck'im!'
To me it looks like George isn't trying to please everyone, he is merely pleasuring himself. Repeatedly and furiously
The fact that the original Star Wars fans feel fucked is inconsequential.
Shhh! If you have everyone doing that, half of us will be out of jobs!
Slackware has package management. Pkgtool, swaret, and most importantly, ldd.

it will obviously be a game I cannot play wearing pants.

Or run them side by side to see if they act properly and as expected.
Re-check that ip address.

I've got ten years to learn. How hard can it be? I've seen children do it for chrissakes.

"within five years China could overtake Britain, Germany and Japan as a base for corporate research, leaving it second only to the United States."
And within ten? Maybe we can do their tech support for them. Outsourcing's a bitch, but it works both ways.
So I'll be able to pick up some 1700's, 2600's and 3700's for cheap on e-bay. Looks like now's the time to go for the certs!
