Autocad & PowerDraw (now PowerCADD) 2D CAD followed a decade later by SolidWorks 3D for turning concepts into executable designs that were within the realm of price and usability for individual designers.
So are only safe if we run an OS on an isolated partition which has nothing but a web browser and the other partitions are automatically unmounted while the web browser OS is working?
Then whatever we want to take back to other partitions upon reboot (hope you have your SSD) has been scanned thoroughly and copied to an empty partition before that reboot?
The options to remain safe don't seem to be coming from Microsloth from its Microseneian era world of the DOS age of computers.
And these are the guys who think their OS is not only the best but worth the mega-premium versus Apple's OS price or Linux.
I think N. Korea is just crazy enough to use their nuclear weapon/s to try to blackmail S. Korea into "giving up". N. Korea ultimately needs S. Korea's resources & people.
The sooner people in government wake up to the long term goals of this warlike state the better. There is no good outcome from these people and it all has to do with the retention of power totally in the hands of the military in N. Korea where the "glorius leader" is just a glorius mouthpiece for the military to which everyone bows.
The only way the civilized world is going to limit the cost of dealing with the ultimate war with N. Korea is to prepare S. Korea, with the help other friendly countries, to do a massive surgical strike to take out the entire N. Korean military and its facilities and have S. Korea able and supplied and armed with its own people who can move in to supplie staples and organization to the society.
I am not convinced the military which is ultimately in control of everything, will ever give up its power, no matter what the "Glorius Leader" says or does, as he can be replaced.
You let the cancer grow or you cut it out and deal with the consequences. Of course this could never happen within the next 4 years because of leaders in power now who have no vision other than their own personal power.
I am not surprised by Kapersky saying what he does.
If you don't want your automation system attacked, then keep it off line and what is off line monitored and limited so it can't be accessed improperly and then treat your crew right...with supervision.
My Crucial SSD went poof, but it turned out Crucial said it could be reset (with my Windows PC only).
I hadn't kept the Firmware updated (& didn't know I needed to do so and was not warned about that). Then I read Crucial's note on how to update the firmware.
I simply couldn't understand all the crap I would have to go through. Either there is a one click firmware update or it is a royal pain to update and I won't buy.
"In April 2029 the space rock will still make a very close pass with our planet, coming within 22,364 miles"
Being the skeptical engineer, I would say there is also a chance that on its multihundred million mile trip over the next decade and a half all it would take to nudge the orbit a slight amount to make the close pass a hit would be an encounter with another large object that affected its orbit ever so slightly...the wrong way.
That orbital perturbation is random & would simply not be predictable.
OK, I bite. Launch to another solar system, say 10 light years away (.01% of the distance across our Milky Way).
Assuming we run at 5% of the speed of light, avoid radiation damage (hopefully avoiding plasma damage to the spacecraft from those pesky neutrons and protons, let alone heavier "things", that means 200 years to get to the planet with the first explorer group and maybe it is simply uninhabitable for any number of reasons you can imagine: temp right, oxygen wrong, oxygen right water wrong, organisms which view us as yummy.
We would have to grow humans, enroute, kill them eventually (no retirement) and feed them to the plants to sustain their children and go through this for at least 5 generations.
Many things which travel through the gut don't cause a problem because the Cilia protect the digestive tract wall. When Cilia get damaged as with Crohn's Disease, then infection or inflamation can occur.
If the Enterobacter growth is enhanced by some items in the diet and suppressed by others that would not be surprising. If the Enterobacter or a product from that bacteria causes inflamation that causes the Pancreas to screw up the insulin production and regulation, that too would not be surprising.
It is only recently that investigation has begun to accelerate on what the effects of different bacteria in the gut are doing and why. Great article with potential for good results.
Tri-Alpha Energy in Irvine has been working to make a magnetohydrodynamic generator of fused Boron plasma ("aneutronic" fusion) and released a paper recently on the subject. The reaction generates charged plasma generating electricity without going through a steam generator and is thus simpler with less steps in some ways than a traditional nuclear fission reactor.
"How do we not ever have to use an atomic bomb in warfare again?"
Assad, Hamas and Iran know...Sarin is the neutron bomb of the 21st century. It destroys civilians without destroying the infrastructure so the attacker can just move in and get rid of the bodies and it has a ready made infrastructure in place to use to continue their conquest.
I may sound "off topic" or "trolling" but Syria's activities today show the reality.
In Schmidt's mind, startups have the most to lose in the current patent wars: How is he or she going to be able to get the patent coverage necessary to offer version one of their product?
Anyone wanting to create a smartphone must have deep pocket investors. This has to be one of the most expensive products in the world to innovate in for not only the hardware reasons, but the infrastructure and connectivity software reasons. Andy Rubin going into the smartphone business again is either done with VC smart money or it is done "dumb".
I personally can't imagine Rubin going back into smartphone creation, unless someone is going to properly fund the product with at least hundreds of millions of dollars.
Microsoft convinced me they do NOT want me to read their EULA!
I was upgrading online and decided to read the EULA. I read and read and read and finally they disconnected me from the upgrade window for lack of activity.
Don't think I got half way through the EULA, let alone understanding what I read or its implications.
And Microsoft no doubt wonders why I distrust them. They certainly distrust me. This dooms companies
Ballmer in his inimitable way said DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS and it applies to Fipel, too.
The concept guy, Dr. Carroll at Wake Forest Univ., who put together the physics and shows a prototype is possible, will now be superceeded by designers and developers of products who will have to show a valid cost - benefit analysis and overall usability.
This is the type of university and private development that makes the world move forward. It is a perfect example of why the government should not predict and pour money into say "CFLs" or "LEDs". Governments rarely make a good monopolistic decision when it comes to goods in the marketplace (including healthcare).

I did similar things in high school, though not as elaborate. Made it through with all things, including eyes and fingers, intact.
How many injuries have you and your friends suffered?
Pardon the pun, but it looks like MS is going to carry WinOS & MSO to the grave.

Life is not easy.
That is the only singular way I can see it will survive. Good? I have no clue.

No air, no water, no food, no sleep, no freezing, no unusual housing, no doctors, no psychologists, no morticians...
Robots win.
Couldn't control his drug issues. His birth mother was addicted.
Now he is gone. Would he have been better served to still be here w/o some "reward center". I don't know. I will never know.
Can anyone guess what we will hear in a few years about this "artist"?

Just missing BASIC experience...like I had in the 70s.
