The carterfone and that whole line of reasoning has nothing to do with the iphone on competitor networks. I'm not sure what point is trying to be made, like as if the iPhone being able to work on Verizon would lead to some amazing innovation we're missing out on because of an exclusivity deal? I don't think I follow that one. I just don't get it, sorry. It's apples and oranges
Why in the world are you being so aggressive? I merely said the JPL because they are experts and would know the answer to your question. I read the damned article, I know Herschel is an ESA project, but guess who else uses explosive bolts?
not showing up to your trial does not make you automatically guilty, but it does make it terribly difficult to defend yourself against accusation.
The court still goes through the same process to determine damages or guilt. The plaintiff still has to present a case and request damages/compensation. The court just doesn't get to see any defense, so it more or less means guilty unless the plaintiff's case has no merit even on their own evidence.
pushing daisies was amazing and it wasn't until the show was canceled and i started looking around that i even realized who fuller was, but have since recognized that I have long enjoyed his work without knowing who he was.
Now I know who to credit for all the entertainment that I really liked (Voyager, Season 1 heroes, Pushing daisies...)
It's a shame that pushing daisies didn't make it. I think the show was a huge victim of the writer's strike. The shortened first season killed the audience and it never recovered. it's been very disappointing for my wife and I because the shows we can watch and enjoy together are few and far between, and this was one we both really liked.
We also both really liked Heroes Season 1, but Season 2 was a complete disaster and neither of us watch it any more. It's weird how it all seems to be about fuller's presence or absence (in hindsight).
They hired Fuller for writing on Heroes again, but I think it's too late. They should just kill the show.
If any business needs yet another reason to stay away from SaaS, this is the one to pay attention to.
Businesses and their IP are becoming increasingly important. Any time your business IP crosses onto someone elses network, it's susceptible to snooping either by corporate espionage or now government eyes.
If your company has a market advantage caused by proprietary information, SaaS is not for you. Why else would the NSA be shacking up next to a Microsoft data center?
keep an updated password list with your will in a safe and or in a safety deposit box.
In lieu of keeping a hard and fast associative list (linking account name to account password) you could keep a list of your accounts on one list and supply a list of "commonly used passwords" and the executors can trial and error their way into your various accounts.
Most of us only use 3-5 different passwords for everything, so the "commonly used passwords" thing would be an easy way around password changes/rotations and staleness of the information.
Of course, if you create a new commonly used password, that list should be updated. So long as your executors can reach atleast your email, they should be able to gain access to anything else.
I would like to know the funding behind this study, as I have seen this all over of late. It seems as though the goal is to "get the word out" to people that there is a chance their doctor is prescribing them a placebo, which is entirely possible of course because it is an accepted medical fact that placebo's work on 33% of all medical complaints.
It seems to me that the party most interested in reversing or minimizing this would be drug companies who are sick of the placebo effect working and are wanting Doctor's to prescribe whatever the latest brand name drug is. Consumer and patient (often the same person, mind you) is a huge factor, and if people stop trusting their Doctor's and start trusting these sorts of studies or even advertisement, then the effectiveness of placebo treatment will inevitably decline.. In it's place, a placebo effect caused by ineffective brand name medications.
If it works, what is the big deal? Doctor's should be prescribing placebo medications (excepting, of course, antibiotics)
This might be coming from left field, but your question struck me because I was having exactly the same issue (with exactly the same person, my wife).
Turns out the problem was our HP wireless printer. The drivers were causing network traffic that was causing my wifes computer to slow down. she also has a dell inspiron, but hers is a little old (1gb memory and 1.2ghz cpu).
The hp drivers were causing network traffic over her linksys wireless card, which in turn was using cpu cycles to support the wireless network traffic.
The problem was corrected by turning off the HP printer.
So, if you have a wireless printer, try turning it off.
I'm afraid I must disagree. 9-5 business hours are becoming even more important in a connected world because of our desire/need for immediate responses.
Businesses must be open during similar hours so that we may respond to each others requests. For instance, call cenders in India are open and running at night for them in order to service our requests from the states..
I am not interested in dispatching an email and expecting a response. People talk to one another still and always will. 9-5 business hours are here to stay and will only get more important.
if your orgs exchange server has their imap connector enabled, you can use a different client that doesn't follow the commands of the exchange server to pull emails, but it sounds to me like your org is smarter than that.
It's not that I don't agree with what you say, but taking your same line of reasoning I can say..
"The methods this prosecutor used is a method any...." doctor, superintendent, boss, government worker, mom, dad, grandpa, etc person of authority "use".
This article is about this particular situation, not about lawyers in general.
I think you may be stereotyping inappropriately. AMong developers, there is no doubt a schism of ideals over this issue as there is every other issue.
It looks as though you are saying that ALL developers are against collecting data on users and you are wondering why, then, that they are willing to write code that collects data.. So you are calling all software developers hypocrites.
I think that's rather short sighted. Surely not every software developer feels that data acquisition is immoral. Surely not every developer comes to slashdot and "Rants and raves" about data acquisition... There's obviously a large set of coders who are completely comfortable with writing this code and are not hypocrites.
Moreover, it's not the coders who set this agenda, it's executives. It's conceivable that a project manager could modularize the code enough and dispatch it to teams of coders in Mumbai where they don't have a clue what they are writing.
your daft if you compare microsoft's installed base to apple's. corporate users would not be able to tolerate such a dictatorial switch.
if microsoft were to enforce such switch (require everything to be re-written? lol), business users would be forced to stay on their old platforms... but wait, businesses require a supported platform to ensure that when there is a disaster, someone will be around to fix it.
no reasonable business would tolerate that situation. it's a huge deal moving an entire business from one platform to another, I think you seriously underestimate the scope of the task you flippantly suggest.
afraid it would get someone killed? Since when does the CIA care if they get someone killed. The CIA is probably directly responsible for several thousand deaths. let's not split any hairs here.
You are daft. your post is advocating both positions.
1) do it all yourself 2) but i only am a web developer, i do both the programming AND design work... but you shy away from serious design work. (not only that, but what about the networking, servers, login scripts, domain/ldap management, database management etc? you probably shy away from that too)
The most important skill that I've found in people I work with is that they KNOW THEIR LIMITATIONS and have management that doesn't push them to know everything. For instance, I'd rather pay someone $125 an hour to do a job in 4 hours than waste my entire week on a project I know nothing about. It's irresponsible to the business to waste talents chasing stuff in this manner.
This post is not insightful, it's contradictory. If this guy were a web developer and needed web developing help, your post would make sense, but he's not. He's a network admin doing graphic design. big mistake!
This CIO is engaging the wrong type of firm for what he wants. I work for a "Premier IBM Business partner" in Lansing, MI and we do this type of work all the time. We put together HA/DR solutions and serve some surprisingly large customers despite our simple business partner status.
Big blue takes a pass on work that is "this small", but that's what the partner network is for. We don't have the resources for huge projects, but we are perfectly geared for projects of this scope. Not only that, but we are focused enough to deliver quality product and quality customer service where big blue cannot. Additionally, due to our having a small but long-serving tech staff, we are not "green" as the writer complains. An organization the size of IBM simply is ineffective at serving projects of this size.
He should have, or the IBM reps he was in discussion with, contacted an IBM business partner in his area that could have helped him. IBM Business partners have always been part of IBM's strategic vision and the author of this piece completely ignores them and the role they play.
i emailed my local theatre chain asking about blade runner. they responded that they had no clue about a theatre re-release. turns out that it is only being screened in new york and LA.
so, the theatrical release note is quite a bit misleading.
Purists? it's an electric guitar. The instrument is the personification of innovation, and players of that instrument should be the embodiment of the innovators.
Atleast that's how it should be. Obviously, not the case.

Quit being a know it all, jackass. you don't.
I'm sure there's some good reason pal, you can find it out when you join the JPL. I do not know but it's a good question nonetheless.

Oh well.
Sounds pretty dumb to me. Media should be at Wikimedia commons, not in Wikipedia proper.
