I'm not criticizing it, I just don't want someone to go out and watch the movie with the expectation of being blown away by the CG. It isn't photo-realistic and it isn't intended to be. The water and fire effects were awesome. The forests and mountains and fog were beautiful. The characters were sufficient.
What 3D film has done better? The Animatrix, the Final Fantasy movies.
I guess it depends on what you watch. I made this post because I had never heard of the movie until we were looking for kid safe movies and thought we would try it out. I figured nobody had ever heard of it until now.
As a fan of animation and kid's movies, I think How to Train Your Dragon was hugely underrated. It is one of those movies that even a 2 year old can sit through and comprehend, which is a rarity for a full-length movie. But the subtlety of the characters is great and the emotions were well acted and realistic. The main character also appeals to the inner geek. There is certainly nothing mind-blowing in it, and the CG is average. But if you like this style of movie and have never seen it I highly recommend it.
I wasn't talking about passwords or security. The discussion is about tracking.
Clearing your cookies daily reduces how well you can be tracked. The only downside is that you must log in to accounts every day, rather than relying on the cookie to keep you logged-in.
I would like to restore the privacy options we already had, that have been eroded: - Stop browsers from accepting 3rd-party cookies by default (I'm looking at YOU Firefox!) - Clear cookies daily. This used to be a Firefox option, now unavailable. If logging in once a day is too often, you misunderstand the concept of "password" - Any plug-ins need to follow these same rules. Ex: Flash "cookies"
Are you saying that the drive head physically crashes against the platter? Or did you mean that the drive firmware crashes? Or did you mean that the file copy fails due to a transfer error over the USB cable?
I work for a company that manufactures medical devices, and we hate PATA because the cables are subject to interference if they are too close to motors/power supplies.
That is another really good FAQ on this issue. In short: understand the difference between "open" and "free" before going into a discussion on this topic.
I am unclear on this, but I don't think they are brute forcing the password. They are brute forcing the SHA-1 hash used during the handshake with the router.
I've actually never seen a WPA network before. I've only ever encountered WEP and WPA2. Is there anywhere that has a large WPA network deployed? WPA was an interum solution intended to work on old WEP hardware.
That said, another person is claiming this attack works on WPA2 as well, so no win anyway:)
Have any of you noticed that every year they use a different set of reporting stations to "show" that it's the hottest year?
I haven't noticed that. It isn't mentioned in the article. All it says is:
The analysis produced at GISS is compiled from weather data from more than 1,000 meteorological stations around the world...
You make it sound like they chose the 5 hottest stations. Logically, they should take some statistical function of all the stations. It seems really unlikely that they are cherry picking stations to produce a result. NASA is a research organization.
P.S. If you get modded down, it will be because you made an outlandish accusation that NASA is falsifying evidence, with no evidence of your own. If what you say is true, that would be quite a scandal. I'd love to see someone point out what stations they are using and ask them why they are doing it that way.
Let the ACLU or some other such organization defend Manning if they think it is right. But Wikileaks is supposed to be for publishing anonymous whistle blower information. Manning is not anonymous, nor is he a whistle blower, nor does their mission involve defending people from lawsuits.
Congress required that the new heavy lift vehicle maximize the reuse of space shuttle components as part of its budget battle with President Obama last year
So congress made engineering decisions for NASA. They told NASA to reuse some parts from something else. And does Congress even know if that actually saves money? There have been plenty of times I've been told to develop something and to reuse an existing piece of code, and I've had to disappoint someone by pointing out that reusing their old COBOL EXE does not actually shrink the timeline.:-( In mechanical engineering, I've learned that reusing parts often adds a lot of work.
Maybe that isn't the case here, but Congress should instead have set constraints and let NASA decide how best to implement it. No doubt the new request also tells them what vendors to use, and what state to by them from, and where to eat lunch so that the money gets spread around to their own pet projects.
These are not new. There are 2 or 3 people in my cube farm who have a device just like that, just uglier. There's a few variations, including one that is an integral part of the keyboard. At this office, anyone who requests it can get an ergonomic analysis of their cube and this is one of the options they recommend for certain people.
Using Physical security as an analogy: is there someone who has keys to *everything* in the building?
I could imagine a high-security building where no single person has access to every area, even the security personnel. Although perhaps they do need such access in case there is a fire or something like that.
No, they aren't, and your entire post should be modded down just because of that part alone.
Samkass' post is exactly correct. The degree you hold does not determine your title. I have never seen a job opening asking for a "computer scientist" but it is common to see "software engineer" or "computer programmer" positions. This same thing happens in many engineering disciplines. People with degrees in "Statistics" or "Physics" are often give titles like "Analyst" or "Systems Engineer" or "Research Fellow" etc.
Actually, I believe that Geneva Conventions specifically forbid firing on someone aiding a fallen enemy soldier. Although it might require that they display a red cross or red crescent.
1) My 2 year old can't manage a carry-on bag. 2) Your point is irrelevant. It does not address the fact that the online agent should notify me of fees at the time of booking, not when I reach the ticket counter.
True. I was more worried about HTML5 apps/web pages. But yeah, true apps can do whatever they want. Heck, I think they cna just pull your contact list and photos and send it if they want.
Agreed. It works both ways. The "warmers" find any shred of evidence and declare global warming to be 100% true and entirely caused by humans. The skeptics point out one flaw in a study and pretend that the entire body of science is wrong and global cannot possibly exist.
The biggest problem I see is that we elect the kinds of people who make this mistake. People who oversimplify look decisive in a debate, and so people pick them for leaders. We will always get extremes in government.

agreed! That is exactly what I want. Have the browser toss cookies that aren't in the whitelist. (pun intended)
You're confusing the word password with security.

Define "drive should crash"
Are you saying that the drive head physically crashes against the platter? Or did you mean that the drive firmware crashes? Or did you mean that the file copy fails due to a transfer error over the USB cable?

WPA is obsolete and has been. Use WPA2.
I don't want to carry a second dedicated device for gaming.
So you think Sony should add a phone to it?
Goa ahead and laugh. It won't be long before a cell phone is a simple $5 chip with a built-in antenna, and they can be put into anything.

I'm glad I didn't give any money to Wikileaks.

I'm not the one who proposed the system. I'm not advocating it. I just pointed out one small fact.
Agreed. It works both ways. The "warmers" find any shred of evidence and declare global warming to be 100% true and entirely caused by humans. The skeptics point out one flaw in a study and pretend that the entire body of science is wrong and global cannot possibly exist.

No. I never said anything like that.
