seriously, what patch? i don't see no patch. dump the code somewhere, chances are, someone will recognize it, or knows someone else who will.
also, i'm not convinced the CEO coming out himself means squat. if it's a sensitive matter and last minute, sometimes you just do things yourself if you want them done right.
i hate electronic voting as much as anyone and would prefer paper ballots and hand counts. it works for canada. but this article is just a bunch of conspiracy theorist crap. if you've got the evidence, show it.
don't be silly. a password isn't IP. and it's the sort of thing the company should already have on file somewhere, anyway. their poor planning and rash behavior for greed are their problem, and they are liable for their own actions. recalling passwords is an act of labor. and that labor, mr. libertarian, is suddenly worth a lot more than it once was. any self-respecting objectivist would take responsibility for their own poor judgement and pay for their mistake.
i don't understand, why would you want to ban P2P? anyone hosting it would be easy to find, right? usenet is a little different because you're tossing it out into the street for others to find.
you've still got to obtain binaries to compile that code. and everyone is dependent on the BIOS, too. is there even such a thing as PCs with opensource BIOS?
very probably. i can't even re-insert a loose power cable on my laptop without it freezing up. we've also got a Kenmore freezer that some numbnuts was stupid enough to put a microprocessor into. every time the power fluctuates, the micro freezes up, causing the freezer to shut down. idiots.
what if it's not a matter of cost, but of resources? just assume for a moment that we somehow manage to wean ourselves off of the internal combustion engine and everyone is driving hybrid or full electric vehicles. where are we going to get all that copper from?
that's an interesting tidbit. the first thing i wondered about when i read that the benefit is the wires conduct 150 times as much as copper was: "won't you reduce redundancy and make your grid more vulnerable to attack?" but apparently, we can increase redundancy, and maybe do it for the same price. how clever.:)
a good lawyer could make an argument from section (a)(4). "similar" could be interpreted as broadly as you like, and "delivery" implies an actual purchase need not be made.
No. having a window is a win. a corner office is an even bigger win. losing your window and feeling like a peon in the inner-cubible mushroom squad is not a win. it's big lose. millions of people on antidepressants and what do we want to do? take away more of their daylight.
seriously, this is one of the stupidest ideas i've seen in ages. no, just no. under ground has a nice cool steady temp, but i don't see a rush to go there. i predict the dollars per kilowatt will be ridiculously high, and companies that latch on to this goofiness will lose employees.
that's just it, there is no shortage. there's plenty of bandwidth for everyone. there is however a misallocation of resources by a few gluttons. and those little piggies need to have their feed rationed.
now, increase bandwidth, you say? we are constantly doing this, just as with processor speed. thing is, the more processor speed or bandwidth you provide, the more people use it. if you doubled the available bandwidth tomorrow, that same 5% or so of users clogging the pipes now would double their usage within the year.
and that brings us right back to the problem at hand: throttling users. no matter how much of the resource is there, someone will always be abusing it. increasing the amount of the resource doesn't solve the problem, it only delays it.
it's got nothing at all to do with paying-by-the-minute metered usage, so don't bring up the AOL strawman. it's got everything to do with preventing a minority of the users from taking a majority of the available bandwidth.
now, you can complain about not getting 100% of your advertised bandwidth, but it'd be pretty pointless. that's just the way the market has evolved. complaining about it is about as useful as whining about the way television screen size is marketed. and besides, save your self-righteousness for issues that really need it, not stealing hentai porn.
we have the mesh, but stuff still gets through. i just get on the roof with a water hose and spray them out once or twice a year. maybe a bit risky if you've got a steep or high roof, though. if you've got enough pressure in the hose, you could just move the ladder down a few times until you push all the gunk into the downspout.
actually, there's a theory now that we are unintentionally selecting for autism by fortifying our foods with folic acid. you may wish to consider testing them for a MTHFR polymorphism and perhaps consider fortifying their diet with methylfolate (which is food and harmless, mind you, but does have the potential to mask some types of anemia)
Med Hypotheses. 2008 May 29. [Epub ahead of print] Links
Has enhanced folate status during pregnancy altered natural selection and possibly Autism prevalence? A closer look at a possible link.
Rogers EJ.
University of Massachusetts Lowell, Clinical Laboratory and Nutritional Sciences, 3 Solomont Way, Suite 4, Lowell, MA 01854, United States.
The inverse association between maternal folate status and incidence of infants born with neural tube defects (NTD's) was recognized over twenty years ago and led the US health agencies in the early 1990s to recommend that women of childbearing age consume 400mug of folic acid each day. The FDA followed by mandating that certain foods be fortified with folic acid and this has resulted in a significant enhancement of maternal folate status to levels that are often difficult to otherwise achieve naturally. At least one study indicates that this has decreased the incidence of NTD's. However, this same time period directly coincides with what many feel is the apparent beginning and continuous increase in the prevalence of Autism and related Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD's) in the US. Are these similar time frames of changes in maternal folate status and possible Autism prevalence a random event or has improved maternal (and fetal) folate status during pregnancy played a role? It is not only plausible but highly likely. A particular polymorphic form to a key enzyme required to activate folate for methylation in neurodevelopment, 5-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), demonstrates reduced activity under low or normal folate levels but normal activity under conditions of higher folate nutritional status. A consequence of the presence of the polymorphic form of this enzyme during normal or reduced folate status are higher plasma homocysteine levels than noncarriers and the combination of these factors have been shown in several studies to result in an increase rate of miscarriage via thrombotic events. However, the incidence of hyperhomocysteinemia in the presence of the polymorphism is reduced under the common condition of enhanced folate status and thereby masks the latent adverse effects of the presence of this enzyme form during pregnancy. Of great importance is that this polymorphism, although common in the normal population, is found in significantly higher frequency in Autisic individuals. It is hypothesized here that the enhancement of maternal folate status before and during pregnancy in the last 15 years has altered natural selection by increasing survival rates during pregnancy of infants possessing the MTHFR C677T polymorphism, via reduction in hyperhomocysteinemia associated with this genotype and thereby miscarriage rates. This also points directly to an increased rate of births of infants with higher postnatal requirements for folic acid needed for normal methylation during this critical neurodevelopmental period. If these numbers have increased then so have the absolute number of infants that after birth fail to maintain the higher folate status experienced in utero thus leading to an increased number of cases of developmental disorders such as Autism. Detection of the C677T polymorphism as well as other methionine cycle enzymes related to folate metabolism and methylation at birth as part of newborn screening programs could determine which newborns need be monitored and maintained on diets or supplements that ensure adequate folate status during this critical postnatal neurodevelopment period.
this completely misses the point, tho. you can build a GPS receiver that only provides a readout, or (and this is why employers might like them), you can build a device that logs coordinates and transmits them back to the owner. so if your employer has a GPS receiver on a vehicle you drive for them, or even in a cellphone you thought was pretty sweet, they could be monitoring your every move, even away from work.
so basically, what you're saying is this technology makes us no safer than before? you could just strap on a prosthetic johnson with a hidden compartment, or rubber-cement yourself some plastique tatas. or stuff a snuke in your sneech. doesn't do a damn thing. nothing but shock and awwww.
been a few years since i was in the hobby, but reefs.org seemed to be a good source of info at the time. technology and opinions are always on the move, but much much good info is available on the old Usenet archives, too, with people like Delbeek even posting there. of course, it all depends on what your goals are, but before i quit i had switched to a 2-bulb metal halide setup at 500W total, plus power to run all the pumps, fans, etc. something about point sources really seem to help with acroporas. plus the ripple is cool. oh, and fwiw, despite generating all that heat in my little apartment and running up decent power bills, i never got a knock from the feds. people that do must be running some fairly significant operations.
there's simply not enough money in it to make it worth anyones time. the more specialized and academic a topic, the less likely it is to be read. AdSense doesn't address issues of supply and demand. no one but a select few will be able to make a living off of things like this because teh internets provide a virtual infinite supply for all data sources, no matter how high or low demand is. not that academics make a fortune off their troubles, but chances are, if you're having to go through Springer Verlag to find expert information, you're paying through the nose for a very small book.

i realize this is over a week old, and even you may not see this, but i am aware of gunshot detectors, that's why i mentioned them. but those are in public places and do not represent a deep constant intrusion into my personal space. but a cell phone is a personal device and is immediately identifiable with ME. suddenly, any false alarm or environmental contaminant i run into exposes ME to having my life overturned by search warrants, wire taps, no-fly lists, and god-only-knows what else some overzealous executive branch can think of.
i'm sorry, but that does not appeal to me at all. the idea here is to watch individuals. and i understand the logic. if a guy is going to build a dirty bomb, then he would either have to run an incredibly clean operation, or avoid ALL contact with anyone that uses a cell phone, an almost impossible task. but i value personal liberties more than trying to achieve 100% safety. so concerned governments can just do what they do now for gunshots, put up their own detectors.

let the lawyers hash it out, then. in a few years worth of due process, they can have their IP back.
interesting, thanks
