you disable all wireless security and implement your own network login, security and encryption and if you want, use shared secret keys for your own machines so there is no chance of Man in the middle attacks even if someone at the macine does something stupid (such as allowing an unrecognized certificate to be used when it shouldn't be unrecognized)
by trusting your security to any of the wireless standards you are limiting yourself to the capabilities of simple wireless routers and limiting your compatability.

disable wireless security and implement real security, such as a RADIUS login. then set up a firewall rule to allow unauthenticated devices to access nintendo's servers
perhapse people could... i don't know.... work on a summer schedule.
moving opening/closing times and work hours makes more sense than changing the clocks
an RLE compressed bitmap, or otherwise easilly compressed file would shrink down to nothing at all when it is transferred/stored, but explode like a zip bomb when you try to display or edit it.
it's good for customers, good for developers, and good for manufacturers to have long lasting consoles and handhelds.
the customers get a long useful lifetime out of their device and a large selection of titles, the developers get a long useful lifetime out of each title they make, and less time wasted learning new platforms. and manufacturers gain long useful lifetimes for their R&D work, and they gain significant savings as technology improves and lowers manufacturing costs.
with short turnarounds customers have to buy more hardware to be compatable with the latest games, developers spend more time learning, less time making and have less time to sell each title before it's for obsolete hardware, and manufacturers spend more of their time manufacturing their product while it's still state of the art and expensive to make.
in my experience the best windows burning app is NTI CD&DVD Maker, in particular it's file burning is quite excellant. if you drag more than 1 disc capacity in files into the burn window it automatically marks and lists the number of discs you will need and automatically goes through so all you need to do is feed it discs untill all your files are backed up.
i use them occasionally, most of the time when i am coding something, it is to process some text or something that i don't end up using pointers (except reference parameters) for
what the fuck is it with pointers that is so difficult?
i'm a novice coder and people constantly bitch about how hard pointers are, so when i read what they actually are(this was quite a few years ago) I went back a few times thinking i must have missed something "....surely there is more to it than that...." i thought to myself.
i agree that everyone should have decent understanding of what's going on behind the curtain, though rather than focus on the what, i would prefer to see more experience with limited environments.
as in your example, too many people code like the only platform is the multi-GHz PC.
even a year doing tools in Graphing calculator basic will teach appreciation for not wasting cycles doing everything the lazy way, 'cause sure, you usiung strcat doesn't slow the system in a noticable way, but when half the processes running are using it, and using it in "hotspots" suddenly you need a new machine because it's just not fast enough.
i'm not saying you have to be the third reich of network administration, just that you can't be allowing users to do whatever the fuck they want.
IMO the best network security is the network security your users don't even realize is there. but we don't live in a perfect world, and when there are strict laws regarding business data and accountability you need to make sure those laws are followed, using both social and technical measures.
you can use shitty analogies all you want, the law is very clear in the DMCA.
while the anticircumvention portions are ill-advised the takedown/counter-takedown / safe harbor system is a solid improvement over carpetbombing with lawyers
by failing to adhere to existing standards of the medium she was using (the world wide web) her complaints are in bad faith.
this is much like setting up a public looking park with sculptures, and the plaqs next to the sculptures contain no-trespassing notices.
while her communication of her wishes did exist, it was not in the established and expected manner or format.
another example would be setting up a restaraunt with a "members only" section marked in a foreign language then getting pissy when regular customers go into that area.
when you conduct business in a public space you must be reasonable in communicating any unusual assertion of rights.

i have found VLC to be an excellent first step for new users, video codecs is one of the places a new windows machine REALLY falls on it's face.
half the new kids won't even get it
obviously not, but it would also be bad for the PS4, xbox 1080, and Nintendo CIGC (cranial implant game console) to come out in a year and a half.

suffocating supply constraints? on the PS3?
i think Sony's sales execs are confusing "suffocating supply constraints" with "choking on a dick"
MS suffered the former with the release of the xbox 360, Sony suffered the latter

yup. the fact that MS clumps their patches and only releases on patch day has NOTHING to do with it.
do you have any actual evidence of that? or are you just spouting off what you learned at church/women's rights rallies/etc. ?
