>showing 10 percent were only backing up to tape once per year You mean showing 10 percent were only backing up to tape once per year to a paying third party vendor.... instead of in house which is cheaper when you know what you are doing...

Yes , please, lets build something that eventually will be either able to pierce and damage so much depth that it could be used to
1) crack the moon into 2 pieces... (side note, could be great to be used to split big asteroids into smaller ones before they impact earth...)
2) crack the earth surface deep enough to permanently damage it and irreversibly have a flow of lava, that will eventually lead to shifting of plates
3) used in deep sea situations and again crack the earth's crust so deeply that the plates shift and cause the biggest tsunamis the world has ever seen...
Yes, let's keep going down this path....what was the initial reason for building these?...ah yes...to be able to blast the caves and hills that Osama bin Laden was hiding in...and actually get him....but alas, you can do the job much better with a sniper and just one bullet....could you not???
Only in Canada do we pay so much for the same services that other countries have, maybe because greed is what is wrong with it...so get the government to give fines AND fix the prices to be unchangeable, like rent control.....it is law and they are after all OUR government, they can do anything, we just have to make them believe if they don't we will revolt, else they will keep getting payed off by those companies and line their pockets with their dirty cash.
Haven't you learned anything yet, we are only supposed to watch them from outside their bedroom windows with our night vision goggles, and use our paintball camo suits to conceal ourselves... unless the family dog decides it's time to pee, then all bets are off.
When you pay for a service that not only is advertised to be what it says, but also shows you on your monthly bill, the payment for that service, are you not obliged to fork up that service, and if you downgrade it, are you not subject to legal action, and being this is a nation wide problem, should the government not step in (as they do when they hear about price fixing) and set them straight with fines that are so massive, not only could the government get out of debt quicker, but once or twice would be enough for those big companies to not even attempt doing it again...
>which contain only original elements created moments after the universe's birth (abstract)
I have issues with these types of statements...like they truly know what that material is, like someone was there at the start of it all to record it and say "Yes this was that matter, and it was there in the beginning".... no one was there, and they assume this material was there from the get go, but there is no real proof....
I would rather they spend their money to feed the hungry, help make our world a better one with recylcing and better crops, better structures...I mean there is a million other things we could be doing instead of analysing the space materials that are light years away, which we can at best...assume we know what they are, as our telescopes can only tell us what it is based on the gamma type radiation they leak, or the x ray waves being sent out....come on.....
Am I the only one that feels this a bit too "beyond our scope" to worry about right now, or I guess maybe I just am not "open minded" enough to accept we really need to know about that material now....(even with our economy the way it is....let's still invest millions we dont have in these projects!)
I do think there are changes happening from generation to generation what ever the tech might be, in order for that new generation to adapt and become a better tech user. This is inherent in our species....3rd and 4th generation are always better at xxx than the previous ones... however, I do believe that rewriting the way the brain develops comes from 2 things, real time experience, such as trauma situations like war and medical emergencies and accidents etc.... and repeated cellular usage, such as texting while driving,... playing the piano while talking to someone, passing the vacuum while listening to soaps on the tv....these types of combos make the brain act differently and start trying to rewire the way it is being used.
Yeah, funny everything he says he does not do in his post, would be the starting point.... I mean even create your own project at home that keeps you motivated... become the next doom9 johnny to break all the dvd encryptions, that will keep you busy!
And also, never let on that you are demotivated, that is key to getting fired.
I agree, ity is not because we pay a recycling tax, that recycling happens, they just pocket the money, instead of coming up with better ways to recycle...same with every other industry, they make you feel better because you pay a tax, and feel privileged to use that service/action (say pollute) as if the rest of us who wont pay the tax, will make up the difference enough to continue as we are....sad really that governments are leading their stupid people blindly down this road.
I am one of those stupid people too, for accepting what is happening to me as "OK", but it isnt, and it will never change because we let the governments get to where they are today.
Too bad they did not have another faulty system at the same time that forced all the main water lines to blow, and drown all the inmates that are supposed to be dead in a few anyways....would save this country an enormous amount of money, me thinks.
>Could this also be because programming JavaScript is generally quite difficult and will result in people seeking help more?
Or it could mean that it is so robust and powerful, that so many people come up with these innovative ways of using a language, to do so many things with, where as Perl, is limited to text manipulations and IO , javascript leverages a browser's DOM completely allowing not only a hacker to take over a user's browser, but a network admin to test his current network setup, and for a programmer to develop quick and pretty websites, to many regular expressions used for parsing data, to.....the list is endless....
If you ask about another language that has minimal usage in today's day and age....(fill in your favorite low end programming language here).... of course less people will respond, leaving you to never return to this site, thereby increasing the questions asked about OTHER programming languages. It's a catch 22....the less you get in response , the less you come back, the less questions asked for that language.
I think that what is the funniest part in this is that MIT is supposed to be a leader in cyber security and all that is high tech. The fact they were p0wned, to me shows that times are getting really hard to maintain that title. I guess they are not so hot any longer....eh?
I still think when someone has to physically hit their kids for them to think, see, hear, listen, xxx.... then I think it is time to turn in your parent cap and let someone else take over... At no point is it ok to hit your kids, it does not ever produce good results.
Tehy say a swift hit behind the head to just snap them out of their "daze" they might be in..... to me still is a bit much...but a lashing with a belt to teach her what exactly????
I was the ultimate fan of VMWare, however, with the way the competition has been improving their business models to grab at the corporate sector, if VMWare wants to stay in the race, they will have to start changing their thinking a bit. Just like Microsoft, who wants to listen to no one but themselves when it comes to making things that play nice with others.... so too should VMWare take a page out of their bad decisions play book, and learn from it.
VMWare is one of the most powerful apps out there for virtualisation, however, with the out going market and time tables for setting up environments that are out of the box....you pay way to much for those skill sets. Either make learning them easy enough that anyone can start getting certified, that way admins are a dime a dozen and lowering the cost at that end, or lower the price of the product add on that usually rack you up in the tens of thousands easily just to access your own info.
I liked hearing about their move to push an android friendly environment to have 2 simultaneous phones running off of 1 device....this would allow someone who needs many separate lines to still have them all separate, but on the same device...however, that is not the corporate market, so what about companies that want to save some bucks, what can be done for them, so they do not leave your client base.

Enough to make Angry birds2!

OMG, they should, and maybe even buy EMI...oh wait, too late, they got beat on that one....they could have saved billions on copyright royalties...!

Come on, at one cell organism, it must have been shaped like a car, to come up with that crappy headline....seriously?
We have not lost anything that important, but many have lost the money they spent getting certified in this crappy technology.
Finally doing some good in the world, keep it up, feels good to the rest of us.
