If and only if your only source of information comes from an 'approved' source (check their advertising revenue).
> Billy Gates' "Road to the future"
Never heard of it. Contrasting the 1st and 2nd editions of "The Road Ahead" (even if "the road" on the cover was behind ol' billy), is a great example of corporate revisionism.
You're close. What will happen is no one will no longer be able to afford the product or service said exec's (said) business provided. At which point the American (sic) companies will go under.
When I was born, there was over a half dozen automobile companies in the US. During my father's life time there were several dozen. Today there are 2. FWIW, I originally wrote about aircraft manufactures, something my father could have waxed poetically about for hours, and the numbers work out very similiarly.
Yeah, those. Or maybe the grandparent was refering to 'universal up' or planetary orbit on one axis while the internal view is rotated 90 degrees? Or, maybe its the ability to make a sound in vacum? Although at a guess, I'm thinking the comment was about (space) fighters attacking a bigger ship which looks just like Messershmidts attacking a B17 from countless documentaries.
Then again, there's always the tried and true visible nylon wires.....
'This begs the question: Is it better for security researchers to avoid publicly criticizing e-voting flaws?'
No, it seems it begs the quesion: Do we make decisions based on who can shout the loudest? Given most management type meetings I've suffered through, I would say: yes. But, this is only a tiny subset of reality (I would prefer it was an alternate one....).
> this is kind of like forcing car companies not to sell cars with stereos because they're using their big market share to force out the independent stero sellers.
It would be like this if every 3 years or so the car manufacturers arbitrarily changed the connectors, impediance, and voltage levels on the equipment they installed. Oh, and if there was only one car manufacturer. Having worked in the automotive industry, I can assure you neither of these conditions are true.
ok, I've probably had a few too many martini's this evening, and had to actually create a f'ing account to make this reply......
> suspension of disbelief is to provide us with enough reasonable background and detail that the few completely unreasonable details can be swallowed
BZZZZZZTTTTT!!!!!!
No, suspension_of_disbelief would be an a government spanning the entire galaxy, or a guy capable of 'jumping' across the solar system with the power of his own mind, or perhaps the possibility of an advanced intellegence leading us (by the nose, even) further and further out into the solar system.
And yes, I choose the ID based on the comment I planned on making. And for good measure, let's add to suspension of disbelief a future society living on the moon composed of misfits, outcasts and even criminals (maybe not such a suspension given how both North America and Australia were settled).
Has/. been over-run with the latter half of it's original name or what? (cool, can I make this a.sig?)
Slashdot Mirror
Perhaps because it would make something like
time_difference = time_last_checked - time_way_back;
a real pain in the ass?

Or scandinavian geography.

The more t-shirts you buy, the more laundry you have to do.
FWIW, and to bring it back on on topic:
Those that can, do.
Those that cannot: teach.
Those that connot teach: manage.
So, I guess 'those that can' are on the bottom rung, huh?
....would be the inappropriate chuckle (he he he). But I suppose few would get it.
WHOOSH
'cause I never heard it in firefly, but can't think of a single episode of the others where I didn't. And don't get me started on a 'near miss'.

Bootsy Collins??? Really??? Then again, look at the lame-ass identification I chose....

and here you are commenting on it......
This isn't a poll? And it lends itself so well to a 'cowboyneal' response......
