Two days after I got my iphone and new number, I hadn't given it to a single person or posted it anywhere or updated my contact information anywhere, nobody has my new number. I then downloaded about 20 iphone apps that day. Later that day, and for 2 weeks following, I received about 8 phone calls a day from various online colleges such as everett, AIU, and a slew of other online colleges that googling reveals are scams and the majority of search results are people complaining about getting 8 calls a day from them. I called back one of the times and inquired about my 'account' with them, in which they had both my number, and said I had signed up online to receive these calls as I had submitted I Had interest in being a student there, which I do not and did not. Unless at&t provided my number to this company, one of the iphone apps had reported my number to this service, and that's just not cool. It could be coincidence or perhaps my new number was used by someone previously, which is what I wanted to think, but with all these free iphone apps, It just makes sense that someone would desire to profit from them.
This article was from 2005.
In 2007 Monsanto sold its swine breeding business, Choice Genetics, to Newsham Genetics LC.
Monsanto's doing plenty of other crazy stuff people should be paying attention to, but this is old news.
First, I have multiple friends who have served hours of community service, spent nights in jail, and paid large fees JUST for using someones wifi. Officers pulled up to them infront of a school and arrested them for using its wifi.
Second, when I first got my wifi card, a realtek, I installed it, then the drivers and included software, the SECOND the installation completed, it automatically found the nearest unencrypted network, and connected me, I didn't tell it to, I didn't say which network to connect to, nothing, total automation. Under this act would I go to jail just because the card's software automatically does such a thing?
Before you flame me, this is a recount of my own personal experience, and I have never had anything but negative reception to this, and so I expect it will leave a bitter taste in the majority of your 'show me then ill believe it' mouths. So please, just humor me as a recap of my own experience and your welcome to your doubts. A friend of mines uncle is an inventor, he made a bicycle that uses magnets to achieve something similar. I've told my most trusted science buddies and of course none of them believe me. I however saw it go a very long distance(several miles) with only one single half pedal to start the motion, the points the magnets were placed would cause a constant rotation and constant motion for the bicycle, additionally it had some means of collecting the excess energy the motion was generating and storing it for uphill travel etc. (Yes, I did NOT see inside the black container attached to it so it IS entirely possible there was some sort of battery that was actually powering the device HOWEVER since this man spent the majority of his life working on this in his garage, and I trust him, I believe him in his word.) It seemed a completely logical technology to me when I saw it, and It worked wonderfully, however nobody would ever believe me when I told them of this event.
Perhaps now that something similar may be commercially available, I can distribute some well deserved I told you so's....
Your all well aware Energy will always exist in one form or another, it does not disappear it just changes forms, all perpetual energy should take in my assumption, is one method of using the energy to power something, and the resulting transformed state of the energy to be converted to the original form, or a cycle of multiple transformations where the energy in its state is used and then whatever using it in that way converts it to is used again until it reaches one of the original forms in the cycle. Now thats just a blunt assumption by my very uneducated mind, so before you go on a flame war with the scientific inaccuracy/non technicality of that, keep in mind thats just a blunt unscientific theory of an uneducated person.
I've seen systems that are submerged in a liquid before for supercomputers. Someone in a post above linked to some cray supercomputers that are like that. I wonder what the future of this technology holds... Scuba diving into a server room to update hardware?;D
I've wrote numerous letters to BoA regarding this, and im suprised the study didnt cover this. I don't see how this does anything but provides a false sense of security.
While the study pointed out how the sitekey is generally unused on client end, it dosent cover how it is really flawed.
Sitekey primarily shows you an image you select at an early occasion, so you can verify its actually the site and not a phish. When you login with your username, it shows you your sitekey image, and says only type in the pw if its proper.
So, whats to stop someones phishing site, from remotely connecting from itself to BoA's website, using hte username entered in the phising site, and retreving the sitekey image shown to the phising script, and displaying that on the phish site to the user?
It completely circumvents the siteky, and leaves users thinking that since the phishing site is showing the proper image, it is an authentic site and okay to enter their password, which they then would.
I respect peoples privacy, and I really desire my own.
However, if they really were/are using this only for suspected terror targets, I really don't mind. I don't talk about anything over the phone that I would be terribly upset if some agent in a room heard and woudln't do anyhting about unless its terror related.
I suppose it comes down to the principal of it going against the countries founding rights... In my opinion, its justified in the name of security as long as not abused and only used in the cases when its necissary.
Im currently on thanksgiving vacation, I brought a full desktop PC to arizona from florida, purchased a dialup account, and am spending about 6 hours a day working from this PC even during thanksgiving with my family as Deadlines must be met. I also spend 2-3 hours a day in the apartment complex's internet faciltiies to make use of their high speed connection.
I've spent atleast an hour of every day ive been here on the phone discussing business related matters with coworkers, clients, and associates.
This is my vacation, but im still working 8 hours a day on it, but thats better then the 10-14 of a normal day. The hectic life of an IT Manager/Programmer, im sure many of you can relate.
For many of us, there's no such thing as being disconnected.
But most videos viewed on myspace are hosting on youtube and just embeded, I think they are counting videos hosting on youtube but played throuhg myspace as myspace and not youtube.
I think you missed the authors point entirely, and somehow got the exact opposite meaning. Googles products ARE stable, and still in beta. The issue as the article mentions it, is several things that are still in beta form are being released as complete games, and the paid players revliantly testing it. (Beta games being released as real, not real being still in beta)
Google is the opposite, keeping it in beta past the point it reaches stablility to absoloutely assure its completed quality.
Whoever wrote that article is completely ignorant..
They probably wen't into the article thinking it was a method of selling OSX.
And despite what they read, didn't change their view.
The point is to sell more mac computers, becuase people will be able to run windows on them. It specifically states on their site, that there goal is to increase the use of mac hardware by allowing use of the most common OS, I don't know how the CNet Reporter possibly missed the majority of the text on the page he was writting about.
So, this is because of wifi? how so? I would of thought that the mass increase in laptop sales would cause the stolen laptop rate to rise too, but hey, thats just logic and when is logic correct....
Does it come with weekly downloadable updates to deal with sites, pages, text, owners, administrators,sites purposes, changing?
And what insane alien compression technology are they using? I wasnt part of the whole roswell thing, so I don't know about them, but I know there isnt much around today that can fit that much info on 80GB... The entire Web? Even if just the info that google lists to people about sites, in just 80GB? Thats ridiculious....
Or maybe I just don't understand how little space it takes up... All the text google shows me for one entry is, on aerage 250-500 bytes.
Every 2-4 results is 1 KB, when i type in plastic, I get 288,000,000 results. 144,000,000KB->144,000MB, 144GB, Or if every entry was only 250 bytes It would then Just be under their 80GB, and thats just sites containing plastic.. Now I do a search for sites without plastic. 18,490,000,000 results.
That implies, google, in total has entries for around 18,778,000,000 sites. The information on each site would have to be 4.5 Bytes, to fit on 80GB of space. Thats not even enough for the URL.
Now, im sure they have special compression methods, like of course compression, and replacing commonalities like http://www./ with 2-3 sequential uncommon ascii chars that can be converetd when displayed... But using any trick in the book, The entire web on 80gb? Even the descriptions and URLs of sites?
They would make more with this magically compression techonlogy they must plan to use to do it....
Not to mention, everyday hundreds of thousands of new sites come into exsistance, and old sites go out of exsistance, domains get taken over, companies do, webpage content changes drastically including what a search lists relating to the page.
With all of the above, They are going to have an impossible time to even provide search listings. And theres mention of actually being able to access the sites? 80GB? Accurate?
Obviously a company founded and funded by people with minor awareness of the web and surrounding technologies, trying to catch onto another non exsistant bubble, and of course the people they are paying to develop that might actually know the situation arn't going to ruin their job position by telling them it won't work.
I feel bad for being so cynical, I mean, maybe they Do have a method for providing people constant updates to ensure accurace (even though they wont need the internet????), and they have a way to make Several TB(and if whole sites too, PB) worth of data fit on 80GB... But in my opinion, this isn't even a pipe dream....
1 - CTS - My wrists burn inside all day everyday. I've learned that carpal tunnel is alot less a problem if you keep your wrist and hand flat parallel with eachother.
2 - Back Pain - Although now I force myself to sit completely 'proper' and since my backpain has deminished, I had been getting bad backpain for awhile.
3- Shoulder Pain (people tell me description sounds like artheritis) in the arm that I use to mouse, 12 hours of mousing everyday leads me to belive its the casue, the pain also started very shortly after i started working 10+ hours a day on the pc.
4 - Knee problems, my knees are very damaged from sitting all day everyday, i've confirmed that to be the cause from a specialist. You can see scar tissue under the skin, becuase the ligaments etc are stretching when your knees are bent, and if they are like that more then straight, the tissue scars and hardens like that....
5 - Im whiter then the background of this text becuase I never go into the sun.:P
6- VISION PROBLEMS - Computers have DESTROYED my version, when I was little, in middle school, i had 20/20 perfect vision, after using computers for hours a day staring a monitor, I have bad vision now, and i can progressivly notice it getting worse. Eye doc confirms computer use to be cause.
Bingo, unlike this posts parent post, this one gives good description of the case. The CEO is usually whoever has the most experience pertaining to the business or business in general. Becuase it is your plan, your dream, and your the one with the skills to direct the project, you should be CEO. He can do everything he needs to as CFO.
I have to agree, for two reasons. First off, while the whole war, shortage of trasnlators has been a public issue, this is EXTREMLY unlike the US Military, Those documents could easily contain information the iraq's have formed on the united states deffence and offence.
Also, as the highest ranked post states, a group of alquida cohoarts could easily all submit the same translation for a page, saying that on the 20th at 3 am this american military camp near baghdad will be hit with a missle or something of the like. Becuase it will happen within a few hours of when the gov gets notice, they will either let it happen and recognize it later (like 9/11 or the other things they knew about first), or they will take action, like move the camp or something, which could move it into a trap or make it an easier target for an infantry raid.
While I don't expect the above to be likely, I can't see the military being powerless enough to need WORLDWIDE contribution for reading anything from captured top secret, to routine documents. My bet is that they are using this to spread their own disinformation. Take one captured iraq command leader, forge alot of documents of him stating the futility of the fight, and how he knows their side has no chance. Release those documents variously, discourage the enemy, lower their will to fight, etc, standard psychological warefare....
I mean, you gotta think, our militarys PSYOPS units have to be doing something other then that stupid burning bodies of enemies and saying on a loudspeaker 'come get us cowards save your burning comards bodies from being tainted you are not talibs you are cowards' to try to lure them into advantageous situations.
It dosen't add up, and if it does, it adds up to our military being so powerfull and funded that it can't do anything right....
While you arn't really to blame, you gave your friend your myspace password, and he posted it on your account. Or did you really post the pic, and using a friend as guise? >.> .
Regardless, you should of and should just delete the pic, and not let your potential employeers see it. Also keep in mind, having chosen someone else, might not have been based on the picture.
When and if an employeer sees something like that, assure them you don't, and offer yourself to take routine drug tests. If your taking tests every 2-4 weeks, they will be confident your substance use isn't effecting your work. (Unless you have been smoking something illegal, then just find a diff job)
Yeah seriously, this is the biggest BS I might have ever heard..... There is no 'next' big thing? That is in every feasible way, impossible. Even limited to that which will be discovered and understood by man, unless the human populus is annihliated any time soon, the thought of no greater discovery to ever come is sensless.
Moreover, It's not anywhere near the fact that we have discoverd everything usefull there is to discover in basis(how can one possibly think to make that claim). Rather that most people find it easier to make new ideas rather then modify them.
Nikola tesla once quoted the difference between an Inventor and an Engineer, sometimes reffering to people known as some of histories greatest genius inventors as just 'engineers' becuase they modified exsisting thought. Instead of forming something that hand't exsisted in any form of altercation previously.
After all, it does take a true genius to be able to 'create' something that dosen't exsist.
As someone who contributes to the weekly subtitling of bleach, I care. Advent Children is high quality and a very good movie. Bleach is a good series, but this isn't about bleach. Just becuase YOU don't like FFVII dosen't mean it dosen't have value.
As well, bleach is expected to soon suffer from a minor case of the 'Naruto Effect', that of which being a long period of filler away from the main plot, althogh in bleaches case creating a new subplot, but becuase everyone wants to know what happens with the Aizen saga, and the leader of the Gotei 13 simply saying 'We don't have to worry about it for a year' Is the same thing thats going on with naruto, and has cuased its ratings to drop so much and it's following to dry up.
I've got no choice but to agree. Even if it was in no way intentional to have anything relating to a hospital's systems, If your going to do something illegal for profit, everything that happens as a reprecution is your responsiblity. Direct or indirect, you are the cuase for those actions, and in this case, it is quite direct.
I could see his charge being lowered, for the hosptial shutting down being unintentional, but should definetly still be a large amount of jail time. By this I mean, If I blow up large explosives in areas where nobody is for fun, its a limited charge of recklnessness and poessesion of such explosives. If I blowup a childrens shooltrip bus on accident, it wasn't intentional, but im still going to jail for along time and rightfully so. If that was the case, I shouldn't of been playing with bombs in the first place, they are dangerous and things like that can happen, thus my responsiblity to take the punishment if something does.
The same in this case, even if unintentional, he is still directly responsible for all the problems that happend as a result of it. He took the responsiblity of making 100,000$ breaking the law, now he can take the responsiblity for the people he hurt, put at risk, and put through that event(im sure if your due for emergency surgery and the hosptial is going HAYWIRE your going to be a little traumatized).
Yeah but, if they arn't ready for it, they don't use it.
I've never heard of anyone who didn't buy a dreamcast just BECUASE it had dial up support. However, I played online alot.
Extra features rarely scares people away, and I would definetly have to suggest it would draw more people then chase away. The only drawback is the price increase, but for the few things they are adding it's not going to be too much more then it would be otherwise.
I thought EA underpaid people fresh out of college, if they will overwork and underpay the people making their games, somehow I can't seem them paying for people who arn't even employee's yet to be educated and learn the skills they need (and proably don't already have) to make their products....
They must not be as intelligent as one would assume, of course being a profitable company, the amount they sell their connections for to companies like google is of course MORE then they have spent developing those networks, of which in the end they are still in control and will continue to profit off....
Now they are geetting greedy as somsone above posted, at other people with ideas of how to make more money of that bandwidth, and want some of THEIR lunch.
*BUT* if they push a company like google in a corner, where they tell them they have to pay an outrageous cost, I could see google setting up its own lines, via means of laying them and probably more likely, purchasing them from other backbones and teleco's.
Then at that point, Verizon etc will be charging the XtimesCurrent Markup, and google will charge a rate similar to now (which is already of course proven to be profitable, or else verizon etc wouldn't be in business) and google will blow them out of the water. (ok ok, maybe such a scenario while possible isn't probable, but id' like to see it happen)
In any case, what if verizon's the only company to hop on this bandwagon. Google will just NOT use verizon. And im SURE verizon wouldn't just limit it to google but everyone. Just like they pulled with cogent, and 10% of the web couldnt route to eachother becuase of them pulling public peering for that day. Worst case scenario for them: Everyone decieds just to cut them out of the peering, everyone keeps going on with eachother in a happy world, and all verizon customers get BURNED and then switch to other isps, verizon bites the dust.(Another improbable situation, but hey were talkin')
Now, someone reply to this so I don't feel like I wasted the last 3 minutes....:P

Regardless, you should of and should just delete the pic, and not let your potential employeers see it. Also keep in mind, having chosen someone else, might not have been based on the picture.
When and if an employeer sees something like that, assure them you don't, and offer yourself to take routine drug tests. If your taking tests every 2-4 weeks, they will be confident your substance use isn't effecting your work. (Unless you have been smoking something illegal, then just find a diff job)
Yeah seriously, this is the biggest BS I might have ever heard..... There is no 'next' big thing? That is in every feasible way, impossible. Even limited to that which will be discovered and understood by man, unless the human populus is annihliated any time soon, the thought of no greater discovery to ever come is sensless. Moreover, It's not anywhere near the fact that we have discoverd everything usefull there is to discover in basis(how can one possibly think to make that claim). Rather that most people find it easier to make new ideas rather then modify them. Nikola tesla once quoted the difference between an Inventor and an Engineer, sometimes reffering to people known as some of histories greatest genius inventors as just 'engineers' becuase they modified exsisting thought. Instead of forming something that hand't exsisted in any form of altercation previously. After all, it does take a true genius to be able to 'create' something that dosen't exsist.
We get to meet mao, do we get to protest at tiananmen square?
As someone who contributes to the weekly subtitling of bleach, I care. Advent Children is high quality and a very good movie. Bleach is a good series, but this isn't about bleach. Just becuase YOU don't like FFVII dosen't mean it dosen't have value. As well, bleach is expected to soon suffer from a minor case of the 'Naruto Effect', that of which being a long period of filler away from the main plot, althogh in bleaches case creating a new subplot, but becuase everyone wants to know what happens with the Aizen saga, and the leader of the Gotei 13 simply saying 'We don't have to worry about it for a year' Is the same thing thats going on with naruto, and has cuased its ratings to drop so much and it's following to dry up.
I've got no choice but to agree. Even if it was in no way intentional to have anything relating to a hospital's systems, If your going to do something illegal for profit, everything that happens as a reprecution is your responsiblity. Direct or indirect, you are the cuase for those actions, and in this case, it is quite direct.
I could see his charge being lowered, for the hosptial shutting down being unintentional, but should definetly still be a large amount of jail time. By this I mean, If I blow up large explosives in areas where nobody is for fun, its a limited charge of recklnessness and poessesion of such explosives. If I blowup a childrens shooltrip bus on accident, it wasn't intentional, but im still going to jail for along time and rightfully so. If that was the case, I shouldn't of been playing with bombs in the first place, they are dangerous and things like that can happen, thus my responsiblity to take the punishment if something does.
The same in this case, even if unintentional, he is still directly responsible for all the problems that happend as a result of it. He took the responsiblity of making 100,000$ breaking the law, now he can take the responsiblity for the people he hurt, put at risk, and put through that event(im sure if your due for emergency surgery and the hosptial is going HAYWIRE your going to be a little traumatized).
Yeah but, if they arn't ready for it, they don't use it.
I've never heard of anyone who didn't buy a dreamcast just BECUASE it had dial up support. However, I played online alot.
Extra features rarely scares people away, and I would definetly have to suggest it would draw more people then chase away. The only drawback is the price increase, but for the few things they are adding it's not going to be too much more then it would be otherwise.
I thought EA underpaid people fresh out of college, if they will overwork and underpay the people making their games, somehow I can't seem them paying for people who arn't even employee's yet to be educated and learn the skills they need (and proably don't already have) to make their products....
They must not be as intelligent as one would assume, of course being a profitable company, the amount they sell their connections for to companies like google is of course MORE then they have spent developing those networks, of which in the end they are still in control and will continue to profit off....
:P
Now they are geetting greedy as somsone above posted, at other people with ideas of how to make more money of that bandwidth, and want some of THEIR lunch.
*BUT* if they push a company like google in a corner, where they tell them they have to pay an outrageous cost, I could see google setting up its own lines, via means of laying them and probably more likely, purchasing them from other backbones and teleco's.
Then at that point, Verizon etc will be charging the XtimesCurrent Markup, and google will charge a rate similar to now (which is already of course proven to be profitable, or else verizon etc wouldn't be in business) and google will blow them out of the water. (ok ok, maybe such a scenario while possible isn't probable, but id' like to see it happen)
In any case, what if verizon's the only company to hop on this bandwagon. Google will just NOT use verizon. And im SURE verizon wouldn't just limit it to google but everyone. Just like they pulled with cogent, and 10% of the web couldnt route to eachother becuase of them pulling public peering for that day. Worst case scenario for them: Everyone decieds just to cut them out of the peering, everyone keeps going on with eachother in a happy world, and all verizon customers get BURNED and then switch to other isps, verizon bites the dust.(Another improbable situation, but hey were talkin')
Now, someone reply to this so I don't feel like I wasted the last 3 minutes....
