Not letting IT do their job and maintain your companies data security IS a gaping hole,
Absolutely. Unless IT forgets that other people have work to do. Managing security vs. needs is tough, but it's their job.
Now, go back to the basemet and have a nice day, the rest of us have work to do.
It really pays off not wasting lots of money in licenses for a crappy product that doesn't work properly. A server that needs reboots for security updates?!? WTF. Kids these days, tsk tsk tsk...
No doubt! I work at a large school district, and our machines are locked down tighter than the machines we used in Army intelligence (minus the strong crypto and CAC readers).
Probably because the army realised noone can work properly on a locked-down windows machine.
Granted if it's only word/email/whatever, then it may work, otherwise, if, you know, people need _real_tools_, _real_programs_, etc, not gonna happen.
Especially if you have to wait for it to be "approved" by the morons at IT.
I know that, if I ever have to hire an IT manager my first question will be "which browser do you use". Anything that begin with an I, and I'll just say "next!"
Your statements are totally untrue and you are perpetuating untruths by continuing to insist on them.
That's you buddy.
First of all there is not such thing as 100% ethanol vehicle. It needs to be "cut" with something. That something is gasoline.
Yeah, like 10%. And you can cut it with other stuff, it's just gasoline is the easiest thing.
Brazil is not 100% ethanol. The entire country is not converted. More like 50%
.
Only because of old cars and only because in some places gasoline is cheaper.
Ethanol has caused the price of corn to double in South American countries from one cent to two cents causing riots and you can't burn a food crop that you have to use to feed people.
That's why Brazil does it with sugar cane. Riots?!? [Citation Needed]
There's not enough arable land to run the world on ethanol.
[Citation Needed] That is, if you don't use extremely inneficient sources like corn.
There are over sixty stations in North America and hundreds more are in the planning stages.
So this is not wishful thinking.
The only place to get ethanol now is in the Corn belt and it's just as much as gasoline.
WOW, Over 60 stations, wow!! That's like what, one for each state??
NASA's say's they can make hydrogen in quantity for 75 cents a kilogram.There is enough hydrogen produced in the US right now to power 26 MILLION cars.
Talk is cheap, (NASA should) show me the hidrogen.
There is NO WAY to get to 80% below 1990 CO2 emissions by 2050 than hydrogen.
Yes, there is, if you use renewable sources of carbon.
Recent studies show that producing ethanol is a wash when you take the entire process into consideration. You're not saving on CO2 or other greenhouse gas emissions.
Yeah, numbers say that when people who do the math think gasoline gets out of the well, refines itself and floats magically to the gas pump.
Lastly, I have to reiterate, there are a multitude of ways to produce hydrogen.It's the most abundant element in the universe.
Then do it, cost effectively. "Most abundant element" is moot, since most of it is not in the H2 form. Silicon is also very abundant but it's a pain in the behind to purify and be used in computers.
I look forward to your thoughts on this.
I think you have to stop drinking the kool-aid. Brazil runs on ethanol, have you ever been there? Well, I live there and drive an ethanol powered car. France is mostly powered by nuclear, have you ever been there?
Well, I have. It's very easy to lie and deceive with math.
This is the killer for me. Digital TV does not degrade gracefully. You can't get a low-res substitute if your signal starts going badly. And the use of 8VSB modulation means that stations *theoretically* can cover more distance with less power than COFDM, but it also means moving receivers are out of the question (goodbye Sony Watchman and car TV)
Funny you mention that.
Read about 1-Seg in ISDB-T (in Japan in Brazil) Basically, in theory, it is for mobile applications, in practice, it works as a low-res fall-back.
Yes, it's not the prettiest picture in the world, but it is really hard not to get the signal
And that's why you send lots of stuff at the same time
It's not like
- Hey! (wait 10 years) - Hello (wait 10 years) - How are you doing? (wait 10 years) - Fine thanks, what's your name? (wait 10 years) - Sbrusbrjsk (wait 10 years) - Sbusbwat?! Soory, the guy who asked the question died...
perhaps they are intelligent, but if you talk to it for days, it can be just a split-second for the rock; and if the rock want's to tell you something, it won't finish the first word before you die of old age (or boredom).
Capitalism can only work because it thrives on and creates the poor.
Sorry, if they chose to leave whatever it was they were doing to go to a factory to work as a near-slave (and even though it sucks, I'm sure they can quit) but it's something that sucks less and they earn MORE that's not capitalism's fault
Well, if there is a "big creature" there, microbes certainly exist as well.
Ok, ok, the whole problem with Europa is the very thick layer of ice, as well as the (very justified) fear of meddling with one of the most likely places to have life in the solar system.
Also, I'm not sure about the survivability of bacteria that 'seeps out' of the ice.
Slashdot Mirror
Especially considering the sedative effects of Gravol. (Even though I prefer pure diphenydramine)
EBM is the gold standard of how we should practice medicine. Yet it is immensely frustrating to put into actual practice.
In theory, practice and theory are the same. In practice, it's different.

Yeah, I'm clueless for not wanting a giant gaping security hole in my company.
An oh yes, I do have a company.
What do you have against iCab?!
Make that a Capital I :P

Just wait for the truckload of legal papers from IBM, Google, etc tomorrow morning in MS's curb.
Well, I read this as "The Supremes agreed with Rambo"
Well, what if they do One Infinite Loop?!?!?
I wish I had mod points for this, so true.
They say if a supernova (does its thing) in (apparently very far distance) from earth, we'll all be wiped out.
But again, we're in the urban sprawl of the milky way,
I once worked (as one of the devs.) with a software that had Loren Ipsun as it initial EULA (as a placeholder).
Funny thing when the related tean complained about that: EULA is not in english... (oh well)
Yes, your honor, the presence of a piece of salmon over the 'agree' button was completely accidental, I swear.
Makes me wonder about Mars Science Lab. That thing has a 2 (terrestrial) years primary mission.
That is, if it doesn't separate itself in a million pieces by various means while landing.

Not the same wages and working conditions, no
But at least decent pay and above all, not using slave labour.
"Salary Punishments", I remember that from school, when we studied Industrial Revolution England.
Thanks for the answers, I was really curious, even though the buying liquor with CC thing was intended to be tongue-in-cheek :)
Microsoft: The fail is strong with this one...
So the merchant is just supposed to take any card and swallow the cost of fraud?!?!
Here's an idea, my next alcohol purchase will be with a CC, and I'll snitch them for asking my ID.
To me it's mixed feelings there
Even though python is very easy, you can't beat the ease of use of find / sed / others
And in python you would need to go to popen/pclose usually, to get the output and return values
Well, if there is a "big creature" there, microbes certainly exist as well.

Except nVidia probably has a multitude of graphics patents that AMD(ATi) and Intel certainly violate.
Also, I really don't remember when "not having a license" was an impediment (remember Cyrix?? What about VIA?)
