> I think the most telling aspect of the whole debate is the ratings of Fox News continue to climb into the stratosphere as the ratings of ALL other news networks and shows continue to dwindle into obscurity.
Telling indeed. Especially since the US is doing worse and worse in general education.
> They seem to feel the very fact that they are liberal makes them better and smarter than those who are not.
If you look at the stats, the liberals (US definition, not EU!) tend to have the best education and highest intellect. Correlation is not causation etc, but the fact remains the same.
> They refuse to confront facts or opinions that they don't like and quickly trail off into calling whatever they disagree with racist, homophobic, bigoted and the like (Or in the case of Fox News - liars).
Funny. When I make the effort to watch Faux News for a bit (I am in the EU so mostly protected from it in everyday life), they level of hate and disgust they spray at everyone who disagrees is incredible. Pot, meet kettle.
> Do a scientific study and you'll find that those others are just as bad as, if not worse than Fox News.
Wow.
Anyway, Faux News is the one that defended their right to make up news stories in a court of law. Also, their owner supported Glenn Beck's statement that Obama has a deeply-rooted hate against white people and is a racist.
The (presumed) statement that the institutionalized church has more or less always been about extending and maintaining power and not about doing good does not change the fact that they are still held to a higher standard than other institutions. It's just that more education, less peer pressure, no social need and the ease of leaving make it easier and easier to leave.
The FSF never was about setting goals that look achievable in the short term. They set idealistic goals and then go after them for a decade or three. And with the GPL, it works.
That being said, with the GPL, they actually produced a pretty decent user space. They are not producing any hardware.
Either way, it'll be interesting to see where this goes.
Then your planning was poor and you need to upgrade your cell tower. This is not even about shared spectrum and its implicit disadvantage when compared to fixed lines.
This is part of the usual technical advance. I work at an ISP. When a CPE does not cut it any more, it needs to be upgraded. Simple as that. And if you don't have enough money to do that you are either not charging enough or less efficient than the competition.
If that is the case then the provider needs to upgrade their infrastructure. I work at an ISP, we have similar problems from time to time. The way to react is to upgrade your stuff and if usage patterns change too much _charge the customer more for what they use_.
Running crying to the government is a thinly-veiled ruse to get them to approve selective disadvantages to establish a protection racket. Net Neutrality, anyone?
Please note that I did not really believe in the defect thing in the first place. I was stating that timing would be an issue. There may be weird command paths that produce unique delays and unless you tested all possible combinations of commands so you can emulate everything, you can't be sure there isn't something left.
But yah, any random dev board is a good place to start with this.
When you test for specific hardware behavior as a means of authentication, it's always a good idea to include speed measurements & checks in your code. That way, it's harder for the emulator to fake stuff. As this is common practice, an attack against this scheme would need to take care of these tests, as well.

At the current rate? Never.
At laughably accelerated pace? Never.
If we really want to? One day after a new & deliberate assignment policy to make just this happen.
But seriously, the most aggressive projections (as of today, I know, I know) say: Never.
> Shadow Warrior & Blood
Fuck yeah.
Though dm142 for Duke 3D made for awesome multiplayer, as well. (Hey, I still know the level name by heart after, what? More than ten years?)
The FCC may not impose a "news distortion policy" as it does not fall into its jurisdiction which is limited to "law, rule, or regulation".

So yah, dunno..
To be fair, all media is biased. This is inevitable.
Yet, as an outsider, it does seem that normal reporting in the US is tabloid-level in Europe. And then, there is Faux News.
> Please don't tell me you seriously think the church has been treated the same way that, say, a local community kindergarden would have.
No. But exactly the way that I would expect a nation-wide kindergarten chain to be handled. Am I bitter? I'd say yes.
> holding someone to something implies a little more than being a bit more angry than usual.
And what would that be? Criminal charges? Check. Demanding damages/compensation? Check.
Actually dissolving any large organization with money & lobby? Ha ha.
If Coca Cola tastes great is open for debate, but the corn syrup variant tastes like crap.
My thoughts exactly.
> The Garamond family of fonts can be traced back to 1540 and is the work of perhaps a half dozen or so significant designers.
How is this Sun's achievement, then? Serious question; I don't get it.
> The English word you are looking for is 'Liberty.' And yes, like ~30% of English vocabulary it came to English from French; Liberté.
Which makes sense as the USA owe their early independence to the... French!

Not wimpy, but wrong by exactly one order of magnitude.
He might seem to be pedantic, but he is correct. Nomenclature is important.
That being said, I usually call it Linux, too.
If he was about units that are easy to understand, he would use Metric.

That tiny snippet of a sentence sums up the problem with Imperial.
I need exactly _one_ non-trivial calculation to fix this:
4.5 miles = 7.24 km
So it's 725 bar. (ten meters of water = 1 bar. plus the ~1 bar of air)
Why is it that the US still prefers Imperial over Metric? I really don't get it.

No, it's not ironic as people automatically hold them to higher standards for exactly that reason.

I assumed the attack to be done against non-TPM stuff as the technique is useless and the attack scenario different for TPM, anyway.
Not simple as timing will definitely be used in a scheme like this. Still, it sounds hard, not impossible.
