hahahaha. you ask people not to mod you down when you made a shit comment? your solution here has absolutely nothing to do with the problems of the situation.
There's still issues of access control, timing, etc.
99% of which will all still be circumvented anyways. It's better to try to teach the kids how to be smart about what they're doing rather than try to restrict usage hours.
you have a blatant misunderstanding and plenty of ignorance to go with it. You're also tying knowing how to type www.google.com to a hosts file. They are absolutely not on the same level. a 3 year old can type google.com . Do you think they know what sites to filer in a hosts file?
IP addresses aren't hidden. However, people don't open the hosts file every day, or fiddle with DHCP, do they. On any modern OS DHCP is auto-assign from the getgo. Meanwhile, asking people to edit the hosts file is strictly fucking retarded. It's like asking joe schmoe the computer users to start programming in perl. Really, he should do that because everyone else does? Get a grip on reality.
Go ahead and expect people to understand IP addresses, but by doing so you just cut out about 95% of the average computer users. There are people who know how to bitorrent + peerblock but don't know how to manually set an IP address.
I really hope you're not in IT. If you are, you need to get a new career.
there's no way, reason or anything for forcing a blind person to work with a bank employee.
handicap access to stuff is, you know, federally mandated so that such a thing is not required. We would have a significant set of features if it wasn't for forcing people to give blind folks access./have a blind uncle//he works in upper management for a significant gov't position///he is the sole reason for a significant amount of new technology that benefits the seeing and the blind in many instances
Yes, but even if they do office 15 next, we're still looking at an easy 3+ years. The stuff from now won't even be relevant by then, enabling things to still be undocumented and not compatible.
plenty of people know how to install firefox and adblock but don't know how to make a custom hosts file. I know how, but there's a reason we rely on adblock, and it's called pure laziness.
which is why we still use firefox, as the chrome version = security risk.
Meanwhile, firefox's "survival requirement" is nonexistent. They're doing just fine. They need to work on bloat and keep improving firefox, but they're not about to run out of relevance.
The money loss from the google deal ending may or may not be a big deal. It depends on if they keep up the deal again. They most certainly might do so, as google might see it as a smart investment to guarantee competition, basically.
I admit I misunderstood this too. However, how often are versions changed in this sense? From what I see, Office 13 was skipped, so the last version was Office 12, AKA office 2007.
If they say "We'll support it in office 15" but skip to office 16, what happens to support? Given that office 2007 took 3 years, doesn't that mean at a minimum it will be no less than 3 years from now before they're compliant with what they agreed in *2008* (OOXML)?
I've heard good word about KT from other folks too, although I've never used it myself. Sharepoint is not bad, but it locks things into it, too. It's a major pain to get things out of sharepoint once it's in, and why many companies still use sharepoint - even ones that don't want to use MS products.
yeah, that's why I was hesitant to type up what I did. It was mostly a question if "is it linked", but that kinda implies that it is, and I didn't know which way the ATM division versus voting machine division sits.
if you've ever worked for a bank (I have, and have relatives in the IT side), you'd know that the poster above is correct. It's a branded but stock version of XP. I thought most companies were trying to replace that, though.
Not to say you can't make that more secure, I don't know if diebold does or not, but I do know for certain that terminals running XP run it stock.
Although I hear diebold does better with ATM's, I can't help but wonder how much effort they put into ATM security versus the voting machine fiasco.
Meanwhile, ATM's have always been pretty shoddy on security. It's a given. People essentially have physical access to the device.
I wonder if it would be better to have ATM's running a virtual or other remote hosted ATM client so that nothing is hosted on the ATM directly? Or is this already being done in some places?
article is not about PC's. It's about saying handheld devices versus consoles.
This is not "Consoles are dying, pcs are the solution". As much as that may be the preferred route, Kojima has a good suggestion: an open access device that works on a laptop/tv/over the net/etc.
The flaw? Every device has different graphics capabilities: you don't *want* every display to look the same. Otherwise you get the equivalent of games like borderlands or starccraft 2 or MW2 where your resolution/field of view is artificially limited for sake of continuity.
Really? Please do provide some concrete examples of how in the 22nd century that proprietary has been "good" in comparison to the alternatives? If not, please at least provide logic/rationale as to why or where you think I should keep an open mind to proprietary offers?
Have you ever thought of updating your version of firefox? My laptop (note: work laptop, so not exactly high performance) gets 63-65 and my IE9 is right about the same.
you kidding? They were the ones that started this 5GB usage cap fiasco on smartphones. Meanwhile you're paying as much as a very cheap internet connection.
The rates for 5GB on a phone are basically atrocious.
maybe he mixed up capcom on that. Anyway, Konami and Capcom have both made great games over the years. Plenty of flops too, but their great games are now definite cult classics.

so you're saying that when you see them on the phone, *you* get on the phone?
that's a nice little bit of hypocrisy there.

carriers are just dumb pipe carriers. They want more easy revenue but if they don't contribute, they won't see any revenue.
As an example, verizon has apps that are free but require people to pay extra on their account to use (visual voicemail).
Vodaphone trying to nullify the entire app store will ensure that either a: nobody gets apps from vodaphone or b: nobody buys the phone.
I can't forsee this ending well, even if vodaphone does a good job with it.

even higher yet. the thing is on every OS that exists, basically.

Ahh, hmm. I don't know then, sorry.
My situation was basically identical FPS on both (vsync is off, btw). Laptop with intel integrated graphics.
It did noticeably look a little better in IE9 but I don't find that compelling in any way, really.

I'm wondering, is there no way to downgrade back to 3.15?
they all are/were. Unlimited, but fine print: 5GB cap.

What do you mean? They're already going after everyone. They raise fees whenever they can.
maybe he mixed up capcom on that. Anyway, Konami and Capcom have both made great games over the years. Plenty of flops too, but their great games are now definite cult classics.
it helps to read. he's basically saying consoles aren't portable enough. So that means handhelds.
I wonder if the portable market is better than console. More competition in that area would certainly be nice though.
significantly smart competitive move by google.
Either a: yahoo gets forced to spend more, now or b: google is back as default.
