I'm not saying it is some sort of conspiracy theory but you haven't seem to offer anything real to the conversation rather than conjecture and made a conclusion based on that, dig around a bit and post some links I'll be interested to see what you find!
Doubt that, turns out the same day 100,000 Drum Fish died the same day. Only Drum fish not any of the other fish that are in the same waters. Unless of course the tornado selectively took only black birds and only drum fish up into the air....
It won't really matter. This is the just the first group of iPad-esque devices, if the market takes there will be so many most companies won't bother implementing Apple type security. Why bother anyway? Every company will have to either implement their own special sauce or depend on someone else's, once one becomes more popular then it will be hacked if everyone tries their own it's likely none of them will be any good to begin with and upkeep of patches will be more cost then it's worth. I'm hoping we get a few nice dual/quad core models by the end of 2011 with a few GB of RAM and a decent GPU oh ya and throw in a laser projector too.
As far as going for the throat legally it might be best for the diplomatic approach this time around. The main reason there are so many people scared of entering the Tech (or any major) industry is because of this very situation, they throw something against the wall and see if it sticks. By suing these companies we will likely be suing Linux and FOSS right out the window and the rest of the "Big Guys(TM)" will just turn to the creative culture and remind them to all stay out. I don't want to be stuck with these idiots any longer, I want to be able to put my hands on a piece of tech and once I pay for what ever device I want to do what ever I want with it. I don't want to worry about some obscure kill switch bricking my gizmo or it tracking my usage so some company can whore my personal details out to the highest bidder all the while whining to me that the money I gave them in the first place is barely putting food on their tables. So if I was the one with the copyrights, I would say screw it let them play, bring me more stuff, pile shelves high as the roof and deep as the walls will allow. Hell we may lose out on source and documentation for some cheap ass obscure Chinese ripoff component but once the OS in general goes real main stream they will go the way of the dodo any way and people will hack it out of nostalgia. Once the underlying OS becomes as cookie cutter as the cheap hardware these guys are cobbling together everyone and anyone will be able to give it a go and that is exactly what will put more and better tech on the shelves and more importantly in my hands.
So fuck it let them copy to their hearts content keep the source code but keep putting out gadgets and make people buy it get the taste of it so everyone can capitalize on the hard work millions of developers and users have been putting into this from day one.
It's not going to be easy pulling on the jury's heart strings with words like "hacker" when he ultimately found out his wife was having an affair with an abusive ex husband especially with children involved. Most parents would commit murder to protect their children from stuff like this and it's likely a some have, as well some would likely have been let off with relatively light sentences. So for this prosecutor to go this route it may ultimately pave a legal avenue to a grey area in terms of hacking when it involves the safety of others.
At the very least you could grab an old cassette player and record the tape to WAV on your computer. It would likely have to be cleaned up and you would need to read the file format but you would still have the raw data.
I can't say I don't understand your point that carriers need this type setup to ensure my own traffic does not supersede that of others but at the same time each line should have a bare minimum traffic guaranteed at all times even if it is a small fraction of what we are told is our allotment. Most plans provide at bare minimum 3Mb/s even if each end point was guaranteed 1Mb/s that would allow 3-4 decent VOIP lines to function even if the remainder of the ISP's traffic is saturated. I can't say I'm the only one who feels ISP's in general avoid infrastructure upgrades as much as possible but to say even relatively small amounts of traffic can't be routed on demand then it's time for your employer to come out and admit there is a problem.
As someone on a tech blog you should know that QOS is something that should be done on the end users system rather than the ISP. Besides do you really think any ISP wants to be in the position of misrouted emergency calls?
It would be like not having Ford Licensed bull balls hanging from my trailer hitch. The idea is once I get the truck/car/system/chocolate bar I can do anything I want with it, I can leave it as it is, use it for its intended purpose or not, it's all up to me. This would be like Ford not allowing you to put after market racing stripes on your car. The only guarantee you get from buying an Xbox is being able to plug it into your tv and watch the dash board, after that it's pretty much upto you what you do with it.
Bringing up ignorance on a subject is actually a good thing. Personally I'm worried no one else wanted clarification. The judge should have let her know that the information she looked up may not be correct and supplied the jurors with the correct information to make their decisions. On top of it all this guy was already apparently convicted so why is this even in court?
Just by numbers alone the number of advanced compared to the other levels is too small an audience and many hopefully will be better suited to avoid such scams. If however pagerank would convey trust based on this filter then having a basic site and stuffing advanced terms would likely make it more effective, throwing utter bullshit would bring it over the top since no one can refuse it.
Your still just trading one bottleneck (disk, OS startup,etc) for another (network connection, latency).
Who's to say what kind of connection you get at any one time either via cell or WIFI? One goes down the whole machine goes dead. There has to be a balance because it will just bring back the method of staring at the hour glass. So now you start up your brand new cloud pc/portable and you have to pay a cell provider each month just to use it? That sucks. Or maybe you start it up and get a weak signal and it times out all over the place and you can't even load solitaire? That sucks too.
While cloud based processing can be cool for heavy editing of video or rendering it's not going to help in any meaning full way for the 99% of tasks most people do anyway (web surfing, word processing, office centric apps, light games, etc). The whole basic idea of technological advancements since the 70's was to have a machine that responds as close to instantaneously as possible and now that dual core mobile CPU's and pretty decent mobile GPU's are becoming mainstream why bother waiting on a server? To make matters worse we are trading performance in terms of MHz/GHz to MB/s and $/MB/s. All of your data usage for the month rides directly on your ability to use your computer. Now if you buy a 100MB/month plan and you hit that limit you either have to pay more at a penalty to the point you are now paying $0.20-$0.50 each time to check your email. You'll be counting the bits.
There definitely needs to be a balance, maybe something a long the lines of being able to dynamically offload currently running tasks to the "cloud" for a small fee or subscription or whatever but solely relying on a service to be fast and available at all times is still way out of reach.
Basically if any one "thing" can be turned on or off and any one person has the motivation to flip the switch it will likely be done. The over use of technology is so massively redundant I really doubt there is a way to protect a switch that can be thrown miles away from a coffee shop while reading the daily paper. I bet even if we removed every wire that ultimately influenced the operation of any device the first thing we would do is create a robot that could walk over to the switch and flip it, hell put the web cam on top on facebook for good measure.
If we were able to have higher throughput behind the ISP the bit torrent protocol would be much more efficient but that's only because of the low ISP > Client ratio. If there are 1M users on any ISP it would be quicker getting what I'm looking for from one of them rather than the actual source. Which is also why caching on large scale networks are beneficial.
You could still rate at the clients machine and propagate the torrent signature to all the other clients there by distributing the ratings in almost real time on already discovered client/hosts. Meta moderations could also be propagated to blacklist. Since this is added to the torrent you can sync hashes to ensure everyone is on the same page. YMMV
You could create a shared directory on each client just like eDonkey did and hash them... just like eDonkey did;) Since the requests are going to your machine you could really return any results you wanted as long as it has the corresponding hash map it can send and receive.
That makes no sense. Do you really want a juror to make a decision one way or the other because they googled something on their smartphone? That is circumventing the entire process. Once you have heard both sides you are free to google your ass off and present your findings to the judge. Then the lawyers can research the info and present new info based on that. Just typing something into a search engine does not mean your right about what you think you found.
The yellow energy absorbing area on the "end" of the wasp is known as the "fat body" apparently the converted energy stimulates the metabolism of fat causing the wasp to do more work. The majority of fat on this wasp is stored here. FTA:
Until now, insects were thought to perform metabolism in an organ known as the fat body, which performs a similar function to the human liver.
Most of the fat body is in an insect's abdomen surrounding the gut, where it can quickly take up absorbed nutrients, though some is scattered elsewhere.
The beautiful thing about science is that the person who first made the assertion gets recognition. If someone wants to piss on his corn flakes and discredit his findings saying the sample is contaminated then eventually if/when they do come to a conclusion who gets the credit? The guy who first said there was life based on arsenic that's who. In reality if they really are going to continue on like this citing contamination the best way maybe to test it while it is still in it's original habitat (Mono lake) I.e bring the testing equipment to it. Then again how about if the equipment it's self gets contaminated... This could be a long night.

So do I get my $50 now ?

Nah normally they would just charge him a couple hundred bucks.
Once they sent him to jail he would just do a weapons cheat and bust out again.
You'd figure that a guy like that would just take the money with out messing around with lawyers.
