The article mentions that the jamming signal came from two North Korean cities so I wonder if GPS is routinely jammed in North Korea and if the jamming signal was accidentally on purpose leaked across the border.
I am made to use MS exchange and outlook at work now. Outlook maintains some local cache of email addresses for autocompletion purposes, and when it proposes recipients it hides the domain names. Some of our engineers work on site with our customers and use the customer IT systems so when send mail to a co-worker I have no way to know if this is their internal account or their on site account. I complain to IT about this but they just shrug. If a domain with a typo gets in to the cache I may never know that it is there.
One list I was on (maybe a java community list or some such) was got used for trolling. Somebody subscribed this guy to the list and he went absolutely psycho whenever he got a message, which was every five minutes or so. After a few attempts at helping him unsubscribe the list admins just quietly removed him.
Back when webrings were popular was contacted by a guy who wanted to create a Michael Smith webring. I think we had about fifty members. Thats not bad considering that everybody had to have their own web site and this was in the mid 1990s. Don't ask me about creating a "smith" webring though.
I own netapps.com.au for my own business and back in the day I got a lot of email intended for netapps.com. I always notified the originator of the mistake. Bounce spam is so common these days that I configure my mail server to accept all mail. I never bounce for address unknown.
Previously there was a proposal for continuous releases and for me this monthly idea is about the same. Ubuntu releases continuously anyway. But they maintain different branches and repositories. Every six months you skip to a new branch. So if you had a monthly branch and updated that on every build I think there would be some sort of longer term configuration management anyway. There would have to be experimental branches lasting for more than a month because some things take more than a month to develop. Not saying that this would be a policy, just that the community would informally organize it that way in any case.
Malaysia was dirty too... and it took them 3 months to repair an incredibly dangerous broken drain cover across the street from "Times Square" - their fanciest shopping complex roller-coaster and all. I put a frick'n dead tree in the hole to warn others.
Three months? Thats bloody fast for Malaysia. I could believe thirty years.
because this way the cops only have to keep gum with them if they want to randomly punish someone.
Um no. If the Singapore cops wanted to randomly punish someone (and from experience I don't believe they do) then they would just fucking do it. No mucking around with entrapment. The real, direct deal. Its kind of the way business is done there. One day at work a co-worker interviewed an engineer. He was hoping the guy would leave his current job and start with us in the same week.
Last time I was working in Singapore I went out for the evening and without thinking bought a doughnut to eat on the train going home. Bad idea. Two police officers with automatic weapons approached me on the train station platform and told me in no uncertain terms to put the doughnut away. I did as I was told.
I like to compare Singapore with Penang. Both are Malayian islands with a lot of industry. In Penang pretty much anything goes which might be good for business but there is little public transport and hardly any footpaths so most people get around by bike or car. I like many places in Malaysia but I can't stand Penang. Singapore is boring but have to say that it is the place to look for a job.
In this case I was amazed that the train could take off with such a small grade. Its pretty funny to imagine that train controllers could actually have redirected the train "back up the hill" into the Melbourne suburbs and it would have gone most of the way to the end of the line.
I think it'd be pretty expensive and enormously disruptive to raise existing track at the stations along with the stations themselves.
Yeah thats why I said "would have been". I intended this to be considered for totally new infrastructure. But still thinking of energy recovery I wonder what you could do with the air pushed along the tunnel by each train? Perhaps the leading train could be pushed off the blocks by the train behind it. Additionally I wonder if the cables and (sometimes) rails used for energy distribution could be replaced by batteries in this day and age. Batteries are expensive but maintaining all that cable is expensive too.
A better way would have been to build the stations at a shallower depth than the tracks between stations. That way kinetic energy can be stored as potential energy when stopped.
In GSM-only markets, like Australia and parts of Europe, where all carriers had the iPhone at the same time, Android Phone market share is only marginally better than Android Tablet market share.
No. Android phones are all over the place here in Australia. Android tablets less so.
It won't make any difference. They will get put on corporate desktops with 4 gigs of RAM. Somebody will decide to do the job with MVC and before you know it you have 100000 source files and a few gigabytes of code.
Melbourne obviously had their traffic lights timed in a manner that only with extremely high or low speeds you could catch the next green. Instead of timing them to match traffic moving at normal speeds.
The road system is a grid and the system attempts to link the signals in all four directions. But outside the "green wave" there will be at least two solutions for getting the next green. One will be above the limit and the other will be very low.

US forces routinely patrol the DMZ.
We already know that they don't teach stall recovery.

Perhaps you've heard of this thing called PGP, which more or less every mailer supports.
Not Outlook.

The webos shell would make a great UI for VMS.
I don't want to know how newly hired staff are, um, inducted into the building.

For me the strongest feature is the ability to download any old apk and install an application.
The author can put it on my app store if they want.

Ar high school we had half a dozen Apple ][s and an equal number of an Asian knock off called the Orange.
