Digital TV happened. Now monitors and TVs come off the same assembly lines, and 1080p is "good enough" for most people buying screens (that's High Def, right, so that's the best!)
On the plus side, it means that you can get a decent computer monitor for under $200. On the downside, better monitors have become a niche product, and there seems to be positive feedback - the price difference pushes more people to the "standard" models, further nichifying the high resolution models, increasing the price gap...
Easiest option is to get your cert signed by a CA. Then it's up to them whether or to trust the CA.
Lest costly, but more secure if you can trust the phone - Send them a signed email, that'll include the cert. Then call them on the phone and compare the SHA1 or MD5 fingerprints.
Or send them a signed email and snail mail the fingerprints.
Or send them a usb key in the mail.
Even if you get MITM'd, you're still reducing your exposure to just the attacker(s) that managed to sneak their way into the key exchange.
It's almost trivially easy to set up email encryption using ssl certificates with all the major email clients, whether you use a CA certified certificate or generate self-signed certificates (which presumably you'd have to distribute by USB key...)
Trade certificates (usb key in the mail, in person.. anything other than email. Also, email is ok, if you confirm the correct cert by outside means, say by comparing SHA1 hashes over the phone.
I'm sure it's just as easy with Microsoft or Linux machines. You can do the research yourself. The above took me like four minutes to find.
Forget the NSA for a minute. Email is typically sent either entirely in the clear, or only the last mile is encrypted between you and your email provider. I suppose if you both use gmail, and you can be sure that google is storing and processing both of your messages on the same server and/or uses encrypted links for their own internal processing, that you might be ok, but otherwise it would not be very hard for interested parties to intercept your conversation somewhere along the way.
There's really no excuse for two parties who have the ability to negotiate with each other to use unencrypted email for anything that might be sensitive. Just because you have to deal with your bank or state government being stupid doesn't mean you should deal with your business partners being stupid.
In the classical problem, it's a cost function. You can weight time, distance, and whatever else into the cost function, but at its basis is a table of costs to travel between cities.. the cost between any two specific cities may depend on myriad factors, but is constant between those specific cities..
And once again, it doesn't do even the above if you're logged in as a regular user. You have to manually kick it off to even find out there *are* updates.
It's not hard to kick it off, but it is something you have to bother to remember to do. Which, "your parents" probably do not ever really think about.
In a democracy (which we're slowly dismantling our republic to create), the rest of us will just vote to appropriate your savings for ourselves. So, I thank you for your effort in preserving some stuff for me to take.
That one's only 2.5 GB, I'm pretty sure tmobile has better plans but their website is atrocious. As are the websites of most phone companies, prepaid or not. Virgin seems to be the easiest to actually find the price tables (though, they still hide them, and have split the two kinds of plans into separate areas despite actually being available for all the phones...) The other prepaid plans I'm aware of are comparable, though.
"consumers" and "employees" aren't separate groups. I'm not sure who suppliers are, but shareholders are also the first group when you consider that shareholders are just either individual investors or pools of retirement money.
You've got to take a step back and look at it in aggregate. Ignore the debt and triple taxes and other games and look at the big picture - Stuff gets made, some of which is used by the government. That portion is the real tax.
Yeah, but you can dim the fluorescent lamp without changing the spectrum too much. WIth your projector, I'm guessing by your use of the word, "bulb," that you have a blackbody emitter as the light source. Reducing the power reduces the light output, but also changes the peak wavelength - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck's_law. There are a few ways to handle this, but the iris is probably the most practical.
Not as dramatic as OLEDs promise, though, since you have to keep the steering magnetics going and the electron emitter hot whether you apply current to it or not. I'd bet that the steering magnets are the major power draw in a CRT anyway.
America needs blue collar work, because many Americans are blue collar. Phone support is entry level white collar, and we could use that too.
Wrong. America needs "blue collar" work because that is how the stuff gets made. We can't all manage each other's investment portfolios or shuffle the papers in accounts receivable. At some point, some actual wealth needs to be created - tangible things whose existence enhances our lives in some way.
This is not because some people are not suited to a nice office job with air conditioning and a good view.
So again, the only reasonable approach is for us each to conduct our lives according to our beliefs and stop trying to force others to conform to our beliefs.
Employee SS taxes and insurance, vary with salary, other costs are fixed besides salary and insurance benefits; there are only some gross distinctions, such as managers might get a more expensive workspace, more powerful computer, more monitors than the engineers, etc.
It is hard to imagine the logic behind giving the best software development tools to the people who, if they're doing their jobs right, don't actually do any software development.

Here's how to do it in Apple mail:

The difference is that Romney would get flak for it, whereas with Obama, news organizations will try to pretend it isn't happening, or isn't news.

There aren't *any* frozen meals that aren't full of salt and trans fats. Even the so-called "healthy" ones. Just read the labels on a few sometime.

NO, no one is going to pour it down your throat.
That really depends on the party...
And the down side of pay as you go is....that they don't have a great selection of smartphones....
auto updates only work automatically if you're logged in as an admin user....
If you can go that fast in an atmosphere, you can use an air-breathing engine to get you most of the way to LEO...
What is outsourced to Europe? Specifically socialist leaning countries? I know I've never called tech support and been connected to france.

Honestly, they need to go after the lecherous developers that make that trash, rather than ask apple to censor (yet more) apps from the app store.
Wait.. what kind of developers..?
Password policy requires mixed case and at least one number, which is kind of annoying when the numbers or on a different page....
Wasn't this the plot of Michael Crichton's book, "Congo"? The lead researcher was even a woman named Ross, IIRC...
So again, the only reasonable approach is for us each to conduct our lives according to our beliefs and stop trying to force others to conform to our beliefs.
So.. why even have *any* laws *at all*?
How does it do if you search for italian language media?

Because that date might not even fall within the originally specified 1200 weeks?
