We all knew this from the get go, there is absoluteley no way they will get/create the neccesary appplication or system to give them that data either, as it would be a little too detailed for the liking of that government. If you knew how much your government was wasting of your tax payer dollars when all they had to do was be a little smarter shopper, people would just stop paying their taxes.
I knew this was coming, as I thought how easy it would be to do, 5 years ago when the drones were coming out for the police force and being used to track perps. I knew it would not be long before someone got the idea to use it to track speeders and then be able to send them a nice ticket in the mail for the infraction. The only problem is that how does the drone write up the report , it doesn't as the guy flying the drone does...the problem is that you need an actual person to hand over a ticket if points are involved, unless there are no points involved and then it does not matter who was driving the car, just that the image taken (where you can not see the driver) is being used to make the police some money. It already is this way here, except only drive by cameras on certain locations of the highway where they take a pic or your plates and then send you your ticket in the mail saying thank you for speeding, come again....
I guess no more worrying about losing points, but get ready to start paying immense amounts of money if you live with the pedal to the metal.
Taking a stand like this should just be the tip of the iceberg, but unfortunately, this is only to bring up stock prices temporarily. MS has a long way to go before they do the right thing all around. Many companies associated to them have practices resembling this....
That is the f*cking understatement of the century!!! I hate flash, yet people still want to use it, I do not understand....foxit atleast, if not other pdf viewers. Adobe just has no clue when it comes to secuirty, they are great at buying up the competition and repackaging the software for the image industry, not for security, so why allow your browser to have access to it, we really do not need to have flash websites....period!
This story lets me in on some idea...It would be cool if a big official judge or senator were to have some illegal copyright music on their machine and get nabbed by the RIAA, and wanting to make an example of them just like they did that grandmother, and let that judge or senator be the victim of the RIAA's witch hunt, and bring about change to their practices....the latest I saw was a guy being charged 600k for songs....until it happens to an official, they do what they want...guaranteed that a judge or senator would put them in their place, and set a precedent.
Same as this story, I am sure it is getting all this attention only because of who was victimized, but put some grandmother who gets her account hacked and identity stolen, bah...who cares... I hope this case leads to setting better laws to protect the people over all, instead of just the big time officials.
I have an easier and cheaper alternative...once they embark on a roller coaster ride for an attempted suicide, they will go on a small trip on a roller coaster small enough for children to go on, but at random intervals and random locations, you will have specific neck level guillotines (adjustable based on height of the person).
As the person rides, they will encounter at last second a blade that whips out from nowhere, and slices the head clean off....if the person is willing to go through a roller coaster 1600 miles long, then I guess they are determined as hell to go...so why not make it easier...
You are telling me that this new instrument will stop from allowing anyone to install any other os other then MS at this time, because of new technology we are bringing out into the pc world? Is it related to the BIOS, because what I know about installations is that if you boot from a location (cdrom or usbkey) you can then install anything....so unless they are saying that the BIOS will not allow boots from other places other then the c drive and that they check with the os on the c drive first if you are allowed to reinstall, then I would have to say nay to this technology!
I am not complaining about single player games, I am talking about charging for content, that normally would be yours right after you purchase it, yet now you still need to pay a monthly fee to enjoy it, and if it becomes non profitable to keep the servers going after x years, well they shut it down...so the game you have is useless. Learn to read a little...my complaint as you call it is not about mmo needing internet connections....as some single player games need an internet connection too....but about paying for something that still is not totally yours...
also have you done a lvl 85 40 man heroic raid for you to even reply?
You know, you are the second person that read my post and thought I was complaining about that, when in fact I was complaining about the game not being yours even after you pay for it....you have to keep paying for it afterwards monthly, and then if ever they think it not profitable enough , they shut the servers down, hence stopping your game play altogether....
also have you done a lvl 85 40 man heroic raid for you to even reply?
I have said so many times that we are not strict enough on punishment for the cyber crimes that affect companies, this should prove as a perfect example why certain individuals that bring down a company due to their hacking ventures, should face proper penalties.
So let's say you go to haiti, and offer these to the government where they can spend money to help rebuild their houses..the problem is once all the houses are rebuilt, you are left with a sh*t load of these lying around....unless they were to evolve it further, and allow connections between multiple houses, making them bigger and one unit....that would then let some of the people just use these full time instead of rebuilding their houses, in a country that cant afford anything right now.
>MMO players are stuck witht the idea that 14,99 See that is the problem with people like you....thinking that this business model is ok.
No one I know that plays these games feels ok that the game they bought can not be played single player mode without the internet connection. The fact that this game now forces you to have a internet connection (and many people dont) just to play sucks.... so when they come out with their 15$ a month...hell yeah thats is a lot...you already made 1billion of your sales total for the game itself, you mean to tell me that answering a few support calls is a problem....(most now defer that to the forums anyways, so they pay out even less then they used to)
All in all, I am glad to hear this, because as soon as Blizzard sees that they are making no money any more supporting the online servers...they will close down shop...and then you are left with a worthless game....what is the purpose in that?
"If you havent done a 40 man 85 heroic raid, then don't bother voicing your opinion"
Especially if there is no other alternative...I mean, when you think of it, it is not like any other industry where competition rules...this has no competition, what is just is...so if you say from one day to the next that the government will save millions from taking away all the tax deduction non sense, and just make it a straight tax collection, no need to spend money to hire tons of people to review all the tax papers to make sure people are not cheating...also less paper spent on explaining all the deductions, so less spent on that...as well as no more hiding behind accountants....so anyone making a million but paying 0$ will now be paying the full amount, and then we would see real cash....maybe even in the trillions.
I always thought just a straight tax right across the board for everybody would be the best that way they could not get out of paying taxes because they find the loop holes by hiring the best accountants. This said it would also mean that they could just say 20% right across the board, would also ensure that money be saved from needing so many people to work the system, where as if there is a one line payment for tax, then that is it, no need to hire lots of people to run the government system to review all these laws and make sure all the accounting is done right, you just have 1 line to check...end of story....but that is my utopia,....
In today's world, for sure if you tax someone for becoming successful, it looks pretty crappy to everyone! Being taxed for being good at something is like really stupid.... but at the same time, during these bad times, everyone should be thinking of doing what they can to help...dont ask what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country. In this case, it means if u have 1 million sitting in the bank, for a 1 time "call to arms"....anyone having 1 million bucks would have to hand over 5000$...end of story....that to me would make sense in a way.
Warren Buffet is always doing charity stuff, gates is doing some , more should too, but to help it's government in time of need...no one wanted to be told that the US credit line was reclassified as being not so good....had they come up with this idea before then, it might have helped.
With your said analogy of a planet, technically we would not be considered alive either....if all we are is a bunch of atoms strung together and kept in a particular state by a beating heart some lungs to provide oxygen, and maybe a stomach to digest food to provide fuel to continue existing, then of course the planet is not alive, we are not alive etc...
However, if you consider the fact that an animal is alive as much as a human, even though they do not share the same type of intelligence seeing as they do not have souls (we do not know for sure)....and thereby do not exist the same way we do (i don't subscribe to this myself), then technically they are as alive as we are...as I have been able to share / communicate with my dog many times where I let it be known I wanted result a to be produced, and it produced it.
So now the question becomes how do we prove if something is alive as we are....or as a living being....remember plants have no intelligence we know of, yet they are still considered "alive"....so for all intents and purpose, because we lack a way to understand a planet as a living being, does not mean it is NOT a living being, it just means we do not know how to prove it yet.
The fetus is not alive until later, but somewhere along the line it becomes self aware....maybe planets have that too, except not in the way we would recognize it to be interpreted as being alive under our standards. They are alive further down the evolutionary chain, and maybe has a unified response system built in for certain events, such as global warming being a defense mechanism against pollution....
All I know is that we would have needed to be present during the creation of a planet all the way through its early existence to see its development in order to truly know if it was in fact alive or not....in a petri dish, it is easy to see the life cycle of a microbe or single cell organism, yet try doing that on a massive planetary scale and it becomes impossible due to our limited lifespan...
This is what happens when people "think" they know based on assumptions made through the years about things that today still are not truly tested for fact and evidence. They never thought that there could be a brown dwarf star smaller then a planet, yet they found one....so I guess it debunks that and many other assumptions on their part....they being the scientists over the years that assumed many things...
Does this work on any surface? I guess it would have to be a solid based surface , not a projector screen where you can actually foucs in and out the image, and change the x and y position by doing so?
Good for them for being able to take a stand for what they believe in and show the world they are more then just what their past decrees them to be. I support fully the "not" use of nuclear products
>This is not due to some cosmic evolution whose purpose is to create life on a planet. This is based on proof or theory , as most people tend to forget that ALL space information (that has not been found to be truth) is still just theory. If someone were to say that planets are actually alive, and that they were beings, you would say...what? However, consider the mechanisms that planets harboring life has in order to maintain its stability, sort of like defense mechanisms if you will, then you could say that they are living, and the make up of a planet being "alive" as "we" think it, may need to change, in order for us to save the world we live on now....
We all seem to view it as a planet that needs no help in maintaining itself, yet with now 7 billion people taking away its materials, and energy, to support itself, what is left for the planet itself....the ecosystem on a global scale is as real as you going to the bathroom and forgetting to wipe continuously, after a while you will develop a rash....that is just the way it is!
Eureka moment....here is what I believe, if the clouds are like the cocoon of a moth, helping keep it safe until it transforms, then you could almost say that the cloud is there for a reason, and that the planet is now morphing into a solid planet ready for life. This would imply that the gas is great vs. anything damaging to a planet while forming....such as cosmic or gamma rays, solar winds, UV rays etc...whatever that might be....we can also deduce that if the gas planets are the precursors to formed planets...then we can assume there is an evolutionary path that forces the gas inside to condense while the gas outside stays there for protection...leading to believe that there are 2 types of gas...one for creation of , and one for defense....
Now that we know this, I think if we were to use that same information and look into the defense properties of that second gas, in order to define what it is made up of, and maybe replicate that someway for our development of mars, in essence helping the mars rock to become habitable (again or for the first time?)... it might help us create a second rock that can hold human life.
Yes, when you see the average of the student skyrocket because now he is so interested in schooling due to the fact that it is done on such a cool piece of hardware where all the other students have as well regardless of their family's financial standings therefor will not be shunned for being poor etc...
No, because now this will cost an arm and a leg, and also lead to other issues such as configurations and such...needing admins for even the kindergarden....unless of course apple sees to it that they are ready to use out of the box for the kids....say through some sort of support contract...as well as if we force to keep the ipads (give them back in at the end of the day) and keep them under lock and key so as not to lose any and spend another arm and a leg to replace lost or stolen or broken ones due to children ineptitude.
I agree with you, same as a car, you would not just start driving one because you can afford to buy one, you have to take courses and also pass tests. Computers in society seem to common place and without accountability. A pilot has to be registered to fly a plane and go through screening....why can not the ISPs enforce such things as well.
This is where the problem lies, it is more so the ISPs responsibility also to know when an infected computer is within ITS network, and block it off indefinitely until the problem is resolved. If a judge can turn around and ban you from driving because of a DIU (act of stupidity) and decide not to let you access the roads until such time as he feels you have learned your lesson....so to should the ISP providers enforce actions that would keep you off the internet until such time as you can prove to them you are bug free....and this would be tested once you contacted them with information about being now secured, they would keep you under watch and block you again if you showed signs again of reinfection.
Some might argue that you pay for a service and should not be stopped from enjoying it (internet), but I do not agree....you pay for your insurance, car, license, and plates, yet a judge can under acts of stupidity (driving drunk) remove your privilege, yet you still own everything else and need to pay for it regardless....
Until we actually treat infected pcs as badly as we might someone having aids, we wont get anywhere...imagine if tomorrow everyone understood that an infected pc is like having aids yourself...no one would ever want to interact with you simply for fear of infection.....so treat it as bad as this to make the point get home.
Ok...now i know something is fishy!! If you get that size magnitude earthquake, it must be something going on, and my thoughts are that maybe china or korea might be testing their nukes under the water....that would force the tsunamis and earthquakes for sure....
My next thought is a scary one though, if you could forcibly sink Japan as a whole , then your whole shoreline becomes the mecca for import and trading where as now it seems Japan gets a lot of traffic....could this be china's way of forcing there be no competition for all their trading business.
Now before you go and claim I am too into the conspiracy theory and argue that no country would ever do that knowing that they would feel retribution.... if it is done in such a way as to look like it was a natural disaster...earthquakes, then it is possible it would not even enter any world leader's mind that this is being done on purpose....although I prefer just being a side effect of under water testing myself...i would hate to see what would happen if my thoughts were dead on....would this force the US or the world to retaliate on behalf of Japan?
It would be nice if they went after Telus next for throttling the skype connections from their smartphone database plans. Every time i use my iphone and skype, i get such bad connection upload/download speeds, yet the exact same amount of upload and download speed is fine when using skyp on say my computer. I am sure they are watching for any skype connections to tamper with, as this costs them money from a long distance stand point.

if it is done in such a way as to look like it was a natural disaster...earthquakes, then it is possible it would not even enter any world leader's mind that this is being done on purpose....although I prefer just being a side effect of under water testing myself...i would hate to see what would happen if my thoughts were dead on....would this force the US or the world to retaliate on behalf of Japan?
It would be nice if they went after Telus next for throttling the skype connections from their smartphone database plans. Every time i use my iphone and skype, i get such bad connection upload/download speeds, yet the exact same amount of upload and download speed is fine when using skyp on say my computer.
I am sure they are watching for any skype connections to tamper with, as this costs them money from a long distance stand point.
