There was a large Time Warner outage a week or two back... it was blamed on a fiber cut in DC (that fed this area). Makes me wonder if it's just a coincidence...
I'd never do it myself, but I'm looking forward to seeing which projects survive and how they change the landscape in five years. X11 was difficult to use for years... let's see what a little competition can do for innovation and usability.
It's possible the list was snagged by a disgruntled (or ex) employee who sold the list. The Powers That Be may not believe the list has been compromised. A few back channel comments and/or a FB isn't actionable proof.
I'd post to their support email line (I'm assuming they have one?) and provide the unique email address you used. Provide more detail than this post. Then if they still ignore, share it on publicly as a public service to their other customers.
I had a friend that was in a similar situation. A company that handled their mass emails had an employee grab a ~ton~ of addresses when he quit. It took a few reports, but once they realized what had happened, they acted.
Can you link to docs in the old system? If so, create Google docs that are organized links into the old system. You want to see the minutes from all the meetings over the last year? Here's that page of links. Budgets? Here it is.
Over time you'll make the Google Docs the de factor standard. Once everyone is accustomed to using Google docs, you can start creating new docs in any system. Including Google docs.
This will gradually wean people off the old system without any single, massive switch. And hopefully it'll be a nice, gradual process.
btw, if the old system doesn't support links into documents, you can ask Bob to add it.
Writing code for video cards is much more difficult than most people think.
On the other hand, if it's really a light weight, low CPU task that's just insanely parallel, check out http://www.tilera.com/ They don't pack a ton or horses, but they do have a pile of cores.
... we find that a committee, presumably with a lawyer or two involved somewhere, trumps common sense... Or, more likely, a board stocked by the lobbyists from various soft drink companies./sigh/
Given Apple's love of the monopoly, you can bet it wouldn't be long before you could only call other iPhones. Cuz, you know, it improves the user experience.:)
Didn't most of the nasty comments come after the transplant? Other transplant recipients I've known have to live on prednisone (or something similar). Prednisonemakes me nasty after a few days. I'm no Jobs apologist, but I wonder how much of the vitriol was due to living on something like that?
You're correct. These days I equate the two because there's very little difference in day to day interactions. If a TSA agent doesn't like the way you behave, they can have you strip searched. It's true they can't arrest you though.
Who said it was? I'm more concerned about precedent. Is this something that every LEO in the country would be able to cite, from the TSA to a cop in a coffee shop, to force decryption.
This beautifully illustrates why there should be some punishment for this type of behavior. He's obviously ignoring all prior art and forcing an already overloaded system to deal with this crap. Fine him.
It's lightweight, portable, and has a ton of interesting projects for learning. Start here at http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/ Check out the "Try Ruby in Your Browser link" on the right hand side.
Whether you love or hate Ruby, you should look at how the Ruby community has sold itself. It's a language that's designed (according to evangelists) to be fun. Frameworks like Rails are about making the work fun. Again, I'm quoting pitches... but.... But it's interesting what kind of a community that sales pitch draws in.

In other words, start off students with easy wins and clear syntax (like Ruby). Don't make them spend hours debugging pointer bugs (C/C++). There's plenty of time for that later. First get them hooked on creating. That's where the fun in programming is... making something new that actually works. I suspect most of us remember the first time we wrote a program that actually did something. That's the high, the rush, that we want potential programmers to feel. How easy can we make it get their first hit?
How can we do this instead of depending on their internal motivation? I'm sure we'll rope in a few that don't have the chops for it, but I bet we'll find a lot more who do but never considered the field because the barriers to entry were too high.

That's all... nothing else to see here...
Where's the embrace and extinguish?
Having recently dealt with Samsung on a warranty issue, I promise I won't be an early adopter of anything they push out. Especially first gen.

How many years has Obama been in office? Eventually you've got to give him some credit... you know, what with the 2nd term and all....
I've seen Stargate. I know this is just another lame government cover up of an alien visitation. Better check on your cows!!

Looks like MS is being dethroned. Between Apple, Oracle, and Adobe it's not looking good.

In related news, the group building the memorial had to ~pay~ MLK's family 800,000 dollars for the rights to his image and words. http://goodnightsnack.com/2011/08/26/martin-luther-king-jr-family-charges-800k-to-use-his-words-on-commemorative-dc-statue-greed/
But it still makes me sad.

Fair enough (on paper), but that's not where we're headed in practice. Good points.

Do they have to show cause first or is this a new tool in the arsenal of the TSA?

The court said that parents should filter what their children see and do. Score one against the nanny state monitoring us for our own good.
I've not used it, but here's the link: http://hackety-hack.com/ Looks like more of a general purpose intro for beginners to Ruby and/or coding.
