Well, I guess I could make a comment about how dirty kids really are......... but I don't want to give the wrong impression, instead I will site a passage from the bible...Paul psalm 13.5
"And though the children were dirty and stained of earth, they wore the clothes of the lord none the less..."
I hope the judge throws the book at those cops. Seriously, you can't force someone to do something... it's called free speech (or lack of). So if someone has chosen to remain silent, then that is their right.
The cops in this case had lost control of the crowd (their fault) first of all for letting the situation get out of hand, and then to rely on someone else to regain that control is even more pathetic on their part. Then to top it all off, showing their full incompetence, they arrest the guy for not wanting to do their job for them....because they had no control over him either, they decided "we'll show him who is boos" and slapped the cuffs on him.
Ahhhh, daniel-san you have much to learn. You must use that which you were born with, your evil nature.
Freeport forwarding allows you to send something you bought online to their warehouse just across the border. Then...you go pick it up, and unwrap whatever it is you bought....then just make as if it was already in your car when you went through the border...as most of them don't check going out, as they do coming in.
I do this all the time, because of tigerdirect being the *ssholes they are, especially when they were still overpricing their inventory for the.ca site. At the time when both american and canadian dollars were at par, you would think the prices should be the same, seeing as we are charged shipping and taxes as well...but the canadian site was 10 to 20$ more expensive then american. Soooo...
I created an american account, used my cc, then went to pick it up, and I got free shipping and no taxes to pay. So for an item that cost me 200$ all inclusive, I would have totalled about330$ canadian for the same item, when both dollars were at par....!!!!
That's where you planting the seed in the bosses mind higher up from you goes a long way. ie- You on a casual lunch with your superior, mention this great ad in the magazine about the outsourced perspective and how it saved this other company a lot of money. The bait is set, once the superior, mentions about it again, you email him the answer back with a note stating that the idea of outsourcing could be beneficial, but you would have to look into it, without mentioning any names.
If the shit hits the fan, you can always say that you were given directives to look into it, technically not your fault because you are not the boss, the boss is the boss...and you do as the boss says.
However vnc does not have encryption the way cbiltcliffe suggests, and also OpenVNC is also a standard in the industry when wanting to set up more protocals through this port, not just the VNC.
I hope she brings them to court and wins this one, I hate Facebook for this. It is not because the picture on facebook shows a woman smiling that her doctor has deemed her cured, *ssholes. I hate insurance companies even more. I seriously hope that some lawyer takes her case, and pushes it way far enough to put a cringe into any insurance company's head whenever they think of this type of strategy again.
I agree being a tech myself, who has to work on a smokers computer can be disgusting to say the least. I feel like vomiting inside the case and leaving it there, to prove a point.
However, I do not agree with Apple's tactics, I would on Apple's part say they fall under a category where there must be a tech that smokes himself, and feels nothing wrong with working on a computer that has been in a smoke filled house.
This would be the less abrasive attitude, however Apple seem very snobby these days. I would send them to a tech who smokes, and in the mean time, I would also make sure to change the warranty agreement, because this one they just might lose big on. I hate smokers but they are humans like us (non smokers) and still deserve the guarantee they have when they bought the machine.
Yes, NYC is known for finding new ways to scam people, as per we all know to be true, however, being an avid sushi fan AND also having traveled countless cities across north america , I can safely say, this is not the norm. The findings are inconclusive, they need to be atleast 5 sushi places per city, and about 100 cities in the study to have a proper account for what goes on. Don't rely on NYC to tell you what the rest of the country is doing, please! I live in Montreal, where are laws are way stricter then anything in the US, and I have to tell you, it is almost impossible for them to pass one fish off as another, because they have fines for that too here, and they have random spot checks, so they never know who they are serving. There is also a 3 time penalty, after the 3rd time you are shut down for good.
So is every city as diligent as ours, not quite, but I am sure I would not say all of north america is the same as my city either, so why compare it to the few restaurants you polled in NYC??? That is like saying because a prostitute charges 50$ for a BJ in Winnipeg, that all prostitutes ( even in NYC ) should only charge 50$,....we all know that ain't happening!
ps- sorry for the comparison to the prostitutes, I had just read that book "The Price" by McNellan, and I had her in mind.
Reminds me of when I heard this guy say they had backups at work, until they day they needed them to restore, and they found out the backups were no good. This lets me think sometimes to force a fake disaster or scenario to test the fail overs is good once in a while... I wonder if we can start a war somewhere....?
Sounds like you have experience in the field, I like the fact they have backup plans for these type of things...I just hope that most of what you say takes into consideration the last time they were stuck using this was way back when we did not have as much air traffic as today...
I remember hearing someone telling me all about their backups, and the technology used, and everyday they made backups...until the day they had to restore, that's when they found out the backups were no good....could have been avoided by forcing a fake situation where you needed to test them....hence here the same logic applies.
> If Flight Planning is down, Flight Plans cannot be filed. Already you are wrong in your assumption, as per the article states, they were doing this manually. This error on your part would cause all subsequent points to be null and void. You would be at home with those developers responsible for the glitch!
Already done my friend, you are telling me nothing new...but for the endless clients i have installed their machines for them (like my grandma) and cant use that app (too hard)...i always felt some level of security adding FF to their installs so they could have a bit more confidence surfing the web.
: ( FF is my favorite web browser because they always made sure to be more secure then IE. I guess when it comes to add-ons and extensions, its always a crap shoot, but I always thought FF was better at handling security for extensions then IE, I guess I will have to go back to using linx now because I trust nothing else... Life will be boring

You lack of imagination leaves to me to think you would be a bad programmer. See I could tell you to take off runway 7, which in itself would be harmless, however , the glitch comes from the same software that told the other air traffic controller that it was ok to use runway 7 to land, now when a moving object meets a moving object, which neither are either indestructible or unmovable, I wold say there tends to be a lot of carnage.
I am all for interfacing with computers through brain waves, however they must keep the contact between the 2 physical and not develop a wifi type, as it would be hard to "turn off the transmittion" I could see someone experiencing pain after an accident or maybe have mayhem in their brain at the moment they are hit with a heart attack, how would those particular moments be interpreted by the machine hooked up, as well...let's not go too far with this technology. I could well imagine a keyboard to say interface with a computer instead of typing but not to operate a car in traffic with many other cars on the road....that would be a little too much asking for trouble.
Not if it causes 2 plains to crash together in mid flight and kill 487 people, it's not. Unless you want to be 1 amongst the 487! Software for this industry or the car or even medical has no room for glitches.... when your heart monitor glitches out and sends a shock to your heart triggering a heart attack, I would like to hear you say, it was acceptable seeing as it didn't have AS many bugs as let's say windows.
Thanks to M$ and the like, we have grown accustomed to accepting certain levels of errors in software, while I would like to be able to say I accept no bugs in my software, what about you?
I have to agree here, let's take all top 100 websites would have given a much clearer picture for a benchmark, although I guess now google is doing the same as M$ in these regards, they need to keep making profits I guess.....so much for do no evil.
Not really, if you have clustered envrionement, it goes much quicker then that per cpu, as they are distributed in an organised fashion, enough to be not be any visible difference between 1 or the other. Linux is great for this, as well, I heard PS3 are great for accepting linux on as their OS.
I actually think this is a good thing, less crime happens when you know more people are watching. This includes people that can use the web to view on their own still images taken every 10 seconds or so and uploaded (Montreal)...this offers also a great way to judge traffic and how to plan your route.
Unfortunately people always zone into the negative side of things...in this case I see none...it's not like they have cameras in your homes watching you pick your nose...they have cameras in all the city parks, so that should a predator ever catch your kid, they have feeds to look at if you can give them a time frame.
I think the greater good outweighs the negative by far in this case.
I smell the big M$ marketing BS coming on. I am sure this is just a quick tug at the marketing strings to try and promote the bing search engine, and maybe bring up their share value. I still only use google, and will indefinately, until someone proves that I get better results in bing then in google.
Well actually the satellite was said to contain enough explosive power (onboard fuel etc..) to be equal to a ton of dynamite. I am not an engineer but when NASA plans to crash it into the moon, they mean to blast a big hole in it. Not smart if you ask me! Also, how does explosives work in space, is there a different physics to it then regular explosions on Earth???
Well actually I have to thank you for pointing that out, although be it maybe with a little sarcasm, but the satellite was said to contain enough explosive power (onboard fuel etc..) to be equal to a ton of dynamite.
