    my verizon install was easy, guy showed up, determined that the phone line i thought i had went down the outside of the apartment into a time warner box and then dropped a fresh line from the pole, took about a half hour or so and i only had to call service once, and it's not verizons fault squirrels like DSL wire

    would be an interesting subset of an AI competition, an AI soldier competition where you wrote a script that ran per unit and could talk to other units but each unit could only see what was on the screen when centered on that unit. assigning scripts would be done by the constructor buildings so not every unit of the same type would have to run the same script.

    talking to other units would be silent if on screen together but would have to be in public chat if trying to talk to an off-screen unit

    you could do it pro-se. assignment of copyright requires very specific things, a clause in a EULA does not qualify, and so you would win as long as you spend a few hours studying the procedures you need to properly raise the defense / accuse them of copyright infringement.

    I went the opposite way, I liked the chrome interface but jumped back to ff4 now that it has a similar space saving design. Chrome's internal architecture does not seem to allow script blocking per source domain like firefox's noscript.

    blackberry still has a huge install base, far huger still if you only consider phones with anything worth stealing on them. blackberries access things like corporate and government secrets, iphones access things like angry birds and youtube.

    telling your old programmer what is efficient in the new technology will still yield better code as long as your old programmer isn't an idiot or a stubborn goat. if it's insanely different rather than just a new language or a different set of rules as for what executes efficiently, it might take a whole week before he outperforms the kid.

    eventually i predict there will be a big legal blow up and MPEG-LA will lose and or the hardware makers will lose

    when you buy a product designed and marketed for a particular purpose, which has been properly licensed for patents it uses, there is no expectation nor i believe is there any legal mechanism to allow patent holders to claim rights over how people use the product, any more than intel could claim ownership over your companies databases since they were being run on servers implementing intel patented technologies on the CPU and other chips.

  16. Re:Too fucking bad.. on Palin's E-Mail Hacker Imprisoned Against Judge's Wishes · · Score: 1

    the US prison system is formed around providing campaign contributions from prison companies and guard unions to "tough on crime" politicians in exchange for continuing the "war on drugs" and ignoring the massively disproportionate conviction/incarceration rates for poor minorities.

    I realize conservatism provides a substantial INT debuff, but you should be able to realize that (#34877780) was referring to the punishment being a net gain to society, that is, rather than spending tax money giving low level criminals free room, board, gym and cable TV, have them out doing useful things for society, like painting over graffiti and digging out clogged drainage ditches. Nobody was suggesting that crime would be a good thing.

    What IT and programming industries really need is a decent and well managed union to help head things like this off before management gets a stupid idea. Not seniority based pay or anything like that because there is a huge difference in what "programmer" can mean but more like baseball or actors union where each person negotiates the variables in their contract but the ground rules and meanings of those contracts would be standardized to protect everyone's interests.

    all of that is fine, send the data to a well secured file server and retrieve data as needed with appropriate permissions, rather than trying to make every node understand security and access policy, each data source just identifies itself to the central server which does know who is authorized to see what and records who did so.

    most of the time the casino doesn't even care if you count cards all night, don't do it at really high stakes games and don't do it alone. as long as you are there making the table look "hot" to other players, you can count cards and get comped free drinks for reeling in the suckers for the house.
