You might have it backwards, it's unlikely now to have the first contact be with a police dog on your property, but if the courts allow it, it will become much more likely that first contact WILL be with a police dog. The setting of a precedent will change how the enforcement of law occurs. Now the cops can walk around on holiday weekends and other times that 'higher use of drugs' may occur and find a valid reason to get a warrant. Where before a house full of teenagers or black people would not preset a judge with enough for a warrant, bob the drug dogs actions can make it happen.
Police departments want this, not because it will curtail drug use, but is a excellent way to boost revenue via civil forfeiture.
Maybe if the dogs smell weed they can get a warrant and search the house, and if drugs (or money) is found but no one is high, we'll just charge the property with a crime.
Civil forfeiture is the bottom of the slippery slope. Now if a friend smokes weed at your house, they have even more power to come take your property. I don't give a fuck if 'that guy' is selling rocks to gradeschoolers, the war on drugs has turned in to a property grab against the citizens of this country. Even the most made up shit on./ isn't as extreme as it's been taken in real life. Kicking in doors and shooting elderly in their beds to death. Killing pets when they've entered the wrong house. Tearing property apart and finding nothing. Throwing money and property in jail and not charging the owner with a crime.
Long term usefulness is currently in Apple's favor. If you can get your app past the app police, it will likely have a long life of usefulness without the platform breaking underneath it. Android is more in the maybe category, there are a lot of different forks that can cause problems, but you can load your own apps on some devices which many businesses do. Microsoft's history here has not been so good. Starting with a half baked plan leads to long term failure.
You might forget that XP had all kinds of issues before SP1, it really came in to form at SP2. SP2 is when I had my customers migrate to XP. My customers didn't migrate to Vista. My customers did migrate to Windows7 SP1. New systems come with new problems that have to be identified and solved. Either you can run out and do all that testing yourself, or you can let the rest of the world be your beta tester. Once the problems and faults of the operating system have been identified and patched, or workarounds are available, then it's smart to migrate. Never, ever take someone selling you somethings word at face value.
A lot of small employers actually have tech services that come out on call and make recommendations. At one time my recommendation was stick with XP and keep away from Vista. Later when Win7 was in a decent condition and the software they used was supported, they migrated. Maybe at one time small businesses ran out and grabbed whatever computer, but after the costs of getting new software, retraining staff, and paying support bit them in the ask, most will ask someone with knowledge first. In the reality I live in, corporate apps are not fungible, and migration costs are huge.
You only consider it a weak storm (in your previous post) because of the failures of our current hurricane classification system.
Sandy was a category 1 wind event, as proclaimed, but that wind event area was huge, possibly one of the largest hurricane wind events in the Atlantic ocean, which leads too...
Sandy was at least a category 2 surge event, if not category 3. The direction of the storm, the storms gigantic wind field, and astronomical high tide lead to a surge event far more dangerous then the current system would lead a person to believe. The damage you are seeing near the shore is a testament to that. The failure to for emergency planners to take that in consideration lead people to use shelters that were then flooded.
As to get people to build away from the ocean, yes it's a damn smart idea, but people seem to follow passions better then good ideas. People have a relationship with the ocean, they love its beauty and power, and when it's going good, it is great. Since the time between major events with the ocean is pretty long, we think we can build up our walls and get the most of the relationship, and that maybe we'll never have to pay the piper.
I'd think that a good understanding of physical security, the how and why of real world object theft is a good place to start. A working network is three parts, hardware, software, and people. Each of the three must maintain integrity or the entire stack can be compromised. Understanding how each is compromised can lead to systems that recognize the failure of one component.
There are no easy answers here. This situation has been documented for a long.. long.. long time.
Exodus 34:7, "Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting (punishing) the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation."
In biblical terms they are called generational curses, while I don't believe in curses, I do believe it is a generational pattern. What a child learns when they are young, so they shall do when they grow up. Otherwise known as 'becoming our parents'. To avoid falling in this pattern a person must realize it exists then act on breaking it. Any human endeavor that requires realization then action is prone to failure, apathy to our own plight, or blaming outside forces rather then ourselves seems to be status quo.
>Offhand I would bet that simple nutrition is more highly correlated with brain size than mother's emotional attention -- and the former is something we can change with social programs.
Doesn't sound likely. First the full study was far more then 2 children. Second, extreme abusers aren't going to give their children food if it's supplied by a social program anyway. Either they will 'neglect' the social program for food (which in the U.S. there are many), or they will consume the food themselves (or sell it for money/drugs) and continue to neglect the baby.
The problem in studying this is if you're willing to feed your baby properly it is likely you will not emotionally neglect the baby. Therefore it is almost ethically impossible to get a valid scientific answer. To be sure any of the studies was valid, they'd have to observe the abuse/neglect/malnutrition in quantifiable numbers, most people abusing children are not going to give accurate or truthful answers. While history has proven there are more then enough scientists willing to do that, it seems unlikely to occur these days as there would be a legal fallout for allowing this harm to come to a child.
Language and visual stimulation. I propose even if you gave the infant the correct nutrition while growing, withholding wider interaction with the world around them would have detrimental effect. When do you learn the most? As a child of course, from the day we are born our bodies systems begin a learning feedback loop. We lay the foundations of language in our minds. Our eyes learn to interpret the signals we receive. Our muscles begin to work in a coordinated manner. To pose this a different way, who would have better muscle tone? A. a person who eats cheetos and reads slashdot all day or, B. A person who works out three days a week a proper diet? Any rational person would answer B, because we need both good food and exercise to have a healthy body. Now take two people who eat healthy and work out, one lives in a calm stress free environment, the other in a high stress environment. Statistically, the person in a high stress environment will have a higher occurrence of disease. I would have to imagine that any environment where a child is neglected is going to cause stress on that child. From this (and some google-fu) we can posit these three things.
A nutrition starved brain develops poorly. A neglected brain develops poorly. A stress flooded brain develops poorly.
All three are very likely in a situation where a child would be neglected. We call it the maternal instinct (who knows if it is one in humans) to feed our children, to teach our children, and to soothe and calm our children. The parents with these traits are more likely to have sane children that will be around to spawn another generation.
Because they could have made it that way without a full screen start menu. It also assumes that you aren't using the mouse to get something done. The new start menu is a move backwards in mouse usage.
4GB DDR3 DIMMs are $18 New. I don't think you'll get $20 for them used.
Now that's assuming they are Non-ECC. ECC DIMMs start at $28, but ECC is must less useful to the majority of computers out there. Most computers will not even boot ECC memory. You have to have Intel server chipsets to recognize it, or you have to have a decent AMD board with support to use it.
Selling it in bulk or donating it as a tax write off (use the manufactures MSRP on the cost:D ) is your best bet.
He's probably talking about commercial VM space sales. Most of the time your workload isn't CPU bound in these cases, it's IO and memory bound. There for the more memory you can fit in the board, the more VM instances you can run on any given machine, which leads to higher utilization and lower costs per VM.
People run horribly unoptimized shit like Windows without the services cleaned up and unneeded shit running, and PHP apps without an optimizer, and every other imaginable thing that used to be a machine at the office that is now 'in the cloud'. The migration techs will run tools to convert entire machines to VM images and import them wholesale.
Why should the Chinese trust American equipment and vice versa. It's not like these are objects that get sent to another country never to be see again, they get put on networks, many available publicly.
Well, it does do 0 to 60 faster, and you're safer in case of a crash or bad file edit if you use File History.
Other then that you're right... Just sit some average person behind Win 8 and tell them to run a normal shutdown procedure. It's like a car with an on button but no off.
You could just hit alt-tab when you're done with the PDF...
That doesn't close the PDF, it's still open in the back ground. Luckily they were smart enough not to do file locking, so you can delete the PDF while its still open in the reader app.
Also, you can close the app after you use the hot spot in the upper left corner by right clicking on it. But it's not obvious, you have go clicking around on things, RTFM, or be told by someone else.
They will never stop until they get either everyone dead, what they want or they themselves are destroyed
Everyone dead, what they want (,) or they themselves are destroyed.
He didn't mean to say that want everyone dead, what he meant by it was that pissing around with advanced weaponry and thinking people are only there to serve you is a good way to get everyone dead. So his outline of the future is...
1. Everyone dies, global thermonuclear war is fun, or 2. They get what they want, and everyone is slaves, or 3. We kill them, then go about starting the cycle again.
I'm pretty sure they'll be DVDs for quite some time after 2020, that's only 7 years from now. Maybe you mean there will be no new major releases on DVD. VHS didn't just disappear and Blue-Ray isn't storming the market. More and more retarded bandwidth caps could hamstring streaming. And a huge install base of DVD players leads me to believe that there will still be some DVDs released in 2020.
