The talk is already out there. No real reason to try and keep them quiet about it. This seems to be an honest attempt to improve the existing system.
Unfortunately, the administrators will want to reduce costs while the hackers will want the *best* system. The compromise between the two will be no better than what we have now.
It's getting more annoying as time goes on. For instance, I bought a few games for the kids to play on the laptop. Last night, I wanted to play Left4Dead but couldn't because Steam was logged in on another PC.
Steam should allow the client to run on multiple PCs and then just ensure the same game isn't being played.
In practice, there are tons of Hamachi users who play L4D online. However, you have to do a lot of work. You have to install and configure Hamachi. You need to locate a game and VPN to that user's box. You have to ensure you are all using the same version and NOCD crack. Finally, you need to set up some voice comms server and have everyone connect to that.
With Steam, I already have an integrated match-maker, integrated voice comms, integrated patch revision, etc...
I've wondered why no one has tried to "poison the well" with suits yet. You could create a GIF of a 7-legged spider and then let someone else violate your copyright. Use the RIAA's tactics to locate the infringers. Then, with lawyers on both sides working together, take the cases as far as possible. Get a local circuit court to make a ruling. Appeal to the next court. Wash, rinse, and repeat until you have set a firm legal precedent.
It seems whenever the RIAA is about to get a ruling against them, they drop the case to stop a precedent from being set. But by using their tactics in an outside case, you can set the precedent for them in a way they can't stop.
And if you have lawyers working both sides, you could play the case to come out on whatever side you wanted.
Hell, you could probably get law students to do it for little to no cost.
In most cases, asking for a dry pair gets blank stares. But if you ask for an alarm circuit from your house to a local ISP, they usually catch on pretty quick.
Shave the pubes and you should be okay. Herpes can be really bad, but most people have the common decency to stay home when they flare up. AIDS seems really scarry, but the chance of infection even if you have unprotected sex with an HIV+ person is still really low.
The general consensus is that the Sadducees did not believe in the resurrection. They were trying to trip up Jesus into answering an unanswerable question.
The second point is that Jesus does not say that there will be no marriage in eternity. He only says that there will be no one given in marriage; just as they can no longer die. In short, Jesus does not "cast pearls" by talking about eternal marriage with people who don't even believe in the afterlife.
In several other places eternal marriage is spoken of.
Standard lines in Japan are 100mbps up/down with 24 people sharing a head-end switch. That switch has 100mbps going back to the ISP. The price is about $20 for the fiber-optic line lease and $50 for the ISP service.
Typical rates are 20mbps down and 5mbps up. They are higher in the city, but I live out in the boondocks of Japan.
If you want, you can pay $75 per month and they will move you to a head-end switch with 12 users and 1gbps link back to the ISP. Then, you are almost guaranteed the full 100mbps service.
People inside the church rarely talk about it, but the LDS Church does still practice polygamy.
In the way that most people understand marriage (till death...), the LDS Church does not practice polygamy. However, in the LDS Church, the members believe that all Temple marriages (for time and eternity) last forever. It is common practice in The Church for a widower to re-marry in the Temple.
And oddly enough, a widow can re-marry another husband too. The working theory there is that she will spend eternity with the husband that obtained the highest level of eternal glory.
As LDS, you know and understand the principle of Eternal Marriage. If you ask around, you'll realize that widowers will re-marry in the Temple for Time and Eternity. Smith and Young both taught that one husband would be the god of many worlds. The more wives he had, the more worlds he would have. Young taught that you needed at least three wives to enter the Celestial Kingdom.
Also, please note that nothing in The 1889 Manifesto revoked the standing of D&C 132.
Oddly enough, widows also have the choice to re-marry for eternity. The idea being that they will be able to choose the husband who obtains the highest level of glory...
The US Military does not always choose the lowest bidder. The military is, in effect, a huge welfare program. Many times, we choose the vendor that provides the best social benefit. For instance, the GSA program gives additional weight to women-owned or minority-owned businesses.
As for pay, the military takes teenagers off the street and puts them in charge of some of the most complex systems in the world. When IBM hires a 19yo high-school grad and put him in charge of corporate email servers, then US military people can complain about pay in-equality.
Once you have been in for a while, you start to see how well the pay stacks up. You get free housing, tax-free shopping, free medical and dental, very cheap insurance, free travel, etc. Most base paychecks can easily be worth twice the advertised amount due to benefits.
Your final point is also not entirely valid. In most cases, an enlisted person or officer can be fired with 6 months of consistently bad reports. Civilian contractors can be easily dropped. GS and WG employees can be fired with 9 months of bad reports. SAS employees are usually asked to resign if they flub more than one major project.
The problem is that most people don't document performance issues properly. Without documentation, you can't fire anyone.
Sure, Fallout and Oblivion have appeared on the consoles. But when you sit to play something like Falcon4 or Silent Hunter, the PC just blows consoles away. Falcon's manual is about 700 pages. It uses every key on the keyboard at least 3 times; sometimes 4 or 5 times.
Console games just don't match the PCs' complexity for detailed simulations.
It would just be easier to whitelist applications. Create checksums of the 20 or so programs that your normally run and check each of those at boot time. Allow the user, at boot time, to specify any other programs he'd like to run.
My only answer for that is that you need to hold your shipping company accountable. Clear packaging and tie-wraps were never intended to stop theft in the transit system or warehouse theft. They are there to stop casual shoplifting. Clothing was never protected with the clear packaging.
To be specific, what we are talking about here is when (mostly) kids' toys come in the clear, celloplastic coverings or half-embedded in cardboard. The celloplastic is hard to open and frequently damages the opener or the item inside. The half-cardboard items are usually secured with 1/4" tie-wraps or twist-ties that can only be cut with wire cutters.
The current trend in packaging was for two reasons. It allowed the consumer to actually *see* the produce he/she was getting. And it reduced shoplifting. Big box retailers (rhymes with ball-cart) pushed for these even though the consumer didn't want it.
Fortunately, sites like Amazon can now pressure manufacturers to go back to the more traditional packaging. Maybe I'll finally be able to wrap birthday gifts without needing an additional box/bag. And on Christmas morning, my hands won't be sore from opening 200 packages, cutting wire-ties and tie-wraps, and dealing with having to unscrew the frickin' battery compartments.
If that's true, then LS is run by a bunch of idiots. The default state for any alarm system should be ALARM. If the telephone line is cut, the CO should get an ALARM signal. If the batteries in the base station die, the CO should get an ALARM signal. If there is interference between the sensors and the base station, the BS should send ALARM to the CO.

Not to mention RTS games, simulators like MS Flight Sim, and fisrt-person shooters. All those games are much better on a PC.

I don't know about Spore, but you can de-authorize Half-Life and sell that component.
You can also sell the Steam account as a whole.

I prefer using uTorrent, RSS feeds, and Vista Media Center. It really isn't that hard to configure and VMC "just works".
Can you post a few speed reports? I'd be interested in seeing if you get full speeds.

I have no idea how the back-end deals with throttling users.
Okay, but if it's cellular, then it's 21mpbs *shared* with everyone else in your cell.

Because, like it or not, everyone else has a degree now. The BS is becoming the new high school diploma.
You don't *need* a CS or a IFSM degree to be a sysadmin, but most of the applicants will have one.
I thought the SciFi channel version was pretty good. I don't think I ever made it through the second movie though.

Seems like they could just ask the local TELCO to isolate any calls originating from inside the prison and de-authorize those SIMs.
You also forgot depth and complexity.
