Add to this, the fact that the current installs of Angry Birds on many Android mobiles (can't speak for iOS) ask to be allowed to do everything but perform a DNA analysis on you. They want to have your phone traffic info, GPS info, network connection info.
And for what, using a free game? No, no, I'm sure they're using that information for good, just like Google does.....
We may never know. The secret US Federal Security Court can issue blanket extractions at will, and does. Of course, the telcos and other services will likely give up phone records at the drop of a hat.
So we won't know, and a warrant is probably unknown whimsy anyway. I, like others, would like to believe that the principles of the US Constitution and the rule of law are incarnate, but it is not, as is proven time and again.... and not one government official is convicted for the breaches.
The problem is connectivity with someone who cares. The last mile is notoriously expensive, even with wireless. You could put lots of sensors along Hwy 1, but you'd need something to say where it started and stopped sliding into the ocean. You can actually run a piece of wire, calibrate it, and use two of them to cipher stop and start by using time domain reflectometry-- the technique used to find data cable problems. Somewhere, that wire needs be connected so that a computer will cough an alert when conditions merit. Every other sensor has that same kind of cost.
Sure. You can draw lines around causation==correlation arguments all day long. Exposure to microparticulate asbestos seems to statistically cause mesolothilial carcinoma, but there is no direct link. For some of these "scientists", death from blood loss was not correlated with the hole blown through the patient's juglar by the discharged 9mm projectile. He died from excessive bleeding.
That's ok. We all use Christopher's machine for *our* anonymous proxies. Of course, he's probably unaware about those cites he surfed with our handy-dandy XSS routine that implanted the proxy on his machine in the first place. Chris, dude, don't you wonder about your cable bill-- at all?
I don't like the current screening methodology, or the reasons behind it. If I have to go through it, then Rand and his dad have to go through it, too.
Rand probably called a corporate contributor and just walked out the other exit onto the tarmac, and into a private jet so that he could make it in on time-- who knows, maybe flying into a neary AFB.
Did he get searched on his way to the private plane? Unlikely.There are two standards: one for the 1%, and the rest for you and me.
From a theorists standpoint, it's classical. You get classical Von Neumann state machine. There's the problem of heat and die size, and buses are absolutely custom if you use them, although someone will put together a nice chipset to deal with the timing.
Multiple cores still have the same problem in terms of cache state, fetch state, and synch, so no real benefit there. Add in memory protection and this has become more wicked still. Fast, but wicked difficult from an OS maker's standpoint. Not that it's easy now.
Ummm, no. The finance majors don't say that. Nor do the economists. There is chutpzah, there is subterfuge, and there are varying indicators, but it's not pretend.
When a letter of credit clears, there's a complex set of events that's spawned. Lots of people get paid. Sometimes they get paid in differing currencies, but they get paid. When the Russians had their post Soviet-breakup crunch, maybe they paid in potatoes, but they paid. Trading is something humans do well, and there is some predictability beyond "pretend".
Microsoft's appearance, or lack thereof, is no indicator of the success or failure of CES. Microsoft's entry into consumer devices, except the xbox, has been met with consistent failure. Windows CE, Windows Phone, and other products aren't doing that well.
Apple boycotts CES to control their own PR, and this is what Microsoft is doing. Other "enterprise" players also have their own shows and very tightly control their own press. At CES, there's something for everybody, including audio, video, appliances, even phone cases. This is because everyone wants CES to be COMDEX, and COMDEX died because their top management wasn't prepared for 9/11. CES is for consumers, and not consumers of Apple stuff. Is it relevant? Heck yeah. Just not as a computer-device show, where the highlight is Apple. Apple purposefully has staged events right after CES to snatch the conversation back to themselves, in a very astute way.
May I suggest using two APs; one has a strong key WPA 2 PSK and WPS disabled. It serves as the main access point for biz apps. The second one simply connects to the first one, uses a different non-interfering channel, and is the public version of the private one (WPS disabled, 802.11g only to catch the widest denominator of potential user). Route the second AP to the gateway.
And like a good IT admin, make sure that all of the machines on your biz network are fully secured, updated, and turned OFF when not in use.
Having flown over St Helens (later to be fined by the FAA) and peering into the then smoldering caldera in 1981, I can tell you that I wouldn't recommend drilling into magma at all.
Chilling out the magma is what I worry about. The dome underneath a caldera isn't necessarily linear, but follows an arch, typically. Drill into that arch, and you might relieve pressure. You might also, by chilling out a portion of the dome, cause non-linear cooling. Depending on pressures, you've now caused an artificial irregularity in the pressure membrane. Underlying forces then will do things that might go: boom.
Not entirely. Geologists, especially those looking for petro-stuff, have highly evolved software for seismological assay. But we're talking lots of energy exchanges here; not extraction by forced replacement.
There's a lot of speculation, but I haven't seen any hard research. Geology and geothermal isn't my discipline. I have an active interest in geothermal energy and other alternative (e.g. non-petrochemical) energy forms as an engineer and consumer. Few attempts have been made to harness steam in this method (Icelanders lead the research, but the volume is very small).
And no one's gone to the trouble of modeling what happens when you chill down part of a lava dome. Does it harden, then blow sky high? Does it pressure masses underneath the caldera to cause nice earthquakes? Do you get a nice fissure opening up somewhere else to flow the lava into new and vulnerable areas? How long before the solidification means you have drill new spots? How are you going to stabilize the old spots? I don't think there are any lava-eating bacteria to help save the day here. There is nothing we have that's going to repair a newly active caldera. Look at what St Helens did, just a few miles up the road. Talk about playing with matches....
I wouldn't completely discount Rossi, but on the other hand, he gives no proof. We're completely obliged to be skeptical until he does. Then we resurrect Sarkoff, and have him steal the patents.
Your question is inane and baits an answer. US government corruption in the legislative branch is bad and getting worse. The government is paranoid, even more than normal.
If you believe that defending your friends can be an ethical motivator, then WW1 (the French, mostly), and WW2 (French, Brits, Poles, & "Benelux") were being warred on. The problems faced by Jews, Romanian Gypsy, homosexuals, and others were low on the list of defense, but motivated various factions in the US.
The Spanish-American War, The Mexican-American War, the SE Asian War, the proxy war against Indonesian Communists, and numerous other incursions, including the War in Iraq, were about power and influence and oil, and ostensibly, ideology (the "Domino Theory" for Viet Nam).
Was it good to remove Gadafi? Probably, but aiding in democracy storms seems Pyrrhic when the US Legislature is bought and paid for, and no longer represents a democracy itself.

Once again, we're the victims of spin.

Harry Seldon already predicted this, but no one was listening when he said it.
But there are a lot of cheap, pre-owned and calibrated spares out there now. I'm going to start checking my local surplus store frequently now.
Yeah, that makes them guilty. Must've been looking suspicious or something.

Sorry, Damitol was trademarked years ago. So was Fukit, Skrewit, and my personal favorite: Getoverit.

Didn't know that. Now my discount is 99.9995%.
