Except, the widest interstates are only a couple of hundred feet wide (say 200 meters) and traveled by thousands of vehicles per hour.
This satellite is going into three dimensional space above 500 million square kilometers, on a budget launch that will likely de-orbit faster than Sputnik, and even with "all the junk up there," there are less than 100 launches per year.
If you want to complain about something relevant, complain about idiots that fire pistols into the air on New Year's Day, sure, a falling bullet only kills one person (we've got billions), but those collisions actually happen.
If they aren't interested in the results of a quick Google search (certainly easier to do than posting a question to Ask/.), then maybe they're also not aware of/familiar with Open Office.
I agree with the comments posted below, anything you choose will be hated by the majority of users, just for being different. At least OO is still a spreadsheet, a competent one at that, and ticks the "free" checkbox.
I wouldn't call that hiring based on merit... more like business development through visions of strategic alliance - whether or not it works out in the end tells you more about the people who decided to "marry" the other side than it does about the talent or lack thereof on the strategic figurehead (aka pawn.)
Getting rid of the legacy "Talent" at FB could actually improve the service.
They actually have the money at this point to hire people who know what they are doing, if only the remaining management can promote and hire based on merit.
I, too, tire of Applesauce spread thickly over every gadget discussion, however, the relevance of a 7" iPad will be shown in the price. With iPad2 at $299 refurbished, I'm guessing that if an iPad 7 comes out at all, it will have to hit a price point of $249 or less.
With lower price points comes wider market penetration, so, there are your people who will buy the iPad 7, the ones who have a iPod nano, but never scraped together enough mad money to pop for an iPad.
Personally, I'm skeptical that Apple will launch a 7" tablet, if Jobs were around he'd dismiss it as just a piece of crap, that you can't really enjoy HD video on a 7" screen, etc. but the real story would be that they can't deliver their level of polish for $249 or less, so they just won't play the game.
"I see. But when I take a antibiotic, it either works or it doesn't. My belief or desire for it to work is irrelevant."
Not entirely, as mentioned in the article, 26 placebo pills dangerously lowered the subject's blood pressure. Placebo effect can also boost or lower natural immunity, possibly to equal or greater effect than antibiotics, especially with MRSA and other drug tolerant strains.
Drinks with HFCS give me migraines, for example. A sugar placebo would certainly have side effects not even considering the mind over matter aspect of the situation.
I think you might be begging the question here - precluding a nocebo effect based on something that may very well be a nocebo effect. Or have you been through double blind tests?
Often "placebo" treatment is given some palpable effect in order to convince the recipient that they are getting "the real thing." This is very much the case in medical device trials, don't know if they give placebo pills a little kick for the same reasons.
Any idiot can have a pile of ideas. The implementation is what matters.
Too bad the idea pays 95%, the implementation 5%
That's a common misconception. It's the person with the superior legal standing that gets paid 99%, IP only grants superior legal standing if you've also got the lawyers to back it up.
I actually appreciate it... I have a Pi, but I really don't have the time to sniff out every new distro as it comes along. This one sounds worthy of loading up and trying.
What Pi has that supports the "super cheap PC" idea is analog video out... in the US at least, analog televisions are basically free to pick up. That's something that Arduino really doesn't have.
Plus, if you're an uber style conscious hacker, you can do your Arduino development on your Pi...
Read up on CryptMT (which is copyright, so I use a non-IP protected variant with similar security properties.) Write me back when you have brute force tried 2^19936 keys on a trivial stream, then try that on a stream that starts at a key-selected point in a large image file, lots of data to load into memory just to "try" each key, increases cost of breaking considerably.
Since I am a US citizen and marketing a Crypto product for export, I have agreed to reveal the algorithms to the Department of Commerce upon their request (they haven't requested, yet). Before you get all indignant about the invasions of personal freedoms by the US government, etc. etc., consider what other nations of the world do.
Not revealing the algorithm makes cryptanalysis harder, but the central assumption is that, whether by reverse engineering of the code, coersion, or other methods, the algorithm will someday be revealed. Even when that is true, you still need the key. For personal private communications, I think a relatively weak 56 bit key is appropriate (would take your little sister, using tools downloaded from script kiddies, several weeks using Daddy's 2012 engineering class PC 24-7 to break one message). If the contents of the message are of high value, you can always use the "breakable" outer layer to conceal a message encrypted with stronger methods. If you have a lot of communications encrypted with "breakable" crypto, it makes it harder to find that one "breakable" message that contains a hard (or impossible) to break core.
Mostly, I just don't want my ordinary private communications (things I would normally not say over a megaphone in a packed stadium), indexed, archived and searchable for less than a penny per thousand words. Strictly speaking, I don't have anything "to hide", but I think it is indiscrete to use clear text on GMail if you don't want to see your words on MSNBC in a few days.
Due to the nature of psuedo random number generators, a known plain text attack can tell us everything we need to know about the next iteration of your cipher.
Yes, of course, if the same key is reused (many times over LARGE messages). Also, encrypting a long stream of nulls is a great way to help a cryptanalyst break a stream cipher. There is a long list of ways to misuse stream, block, and all manner of cipher schemes. I am not alone in use of PRNGs for stream ciphers.
I do believe that CryptMT faces a certain amount of negative pressure for real-world use because it is virtually impossible to brute force, if you use long keys. Most of the popular cipher schemes seem to dance just outside the realm of practical breaking - AES128 demonstrated broken by a large cooperative, well AES256 must be good enough?

Second for Austin, stay away from Houston unless you want to die young (cancer).
Economically, Texas has good employment, high pay, low cost of living, decent climate, etc.
Advice for anywhere you relocate: rent, for at least 3 years - it's much easier and cheaper to relocate again if you don't own real-estate.

Now LibreOffice
Thanks, correct, I just haven't updated since the change.
If they aren't interested in the results of a quick Google search (certainly easier to do than posting a question to Ask /.), then maybe they're also not aware of/familiar with Open Office.

Free, flexible, if used on properly managed computers it's secure, skills learned in using it also applicable to other projects...

To be clear, the behavior described is wrong and should not continue.
To be honest, as a woman, you don't have to go to a hackerspace to get this kind of abuse, it's widely available.

Wheat (possibly gluten...) gives me inflammation/arthritic symptoms, eliminating it completely for several days makes the inflammation go away.

but... Bruce Sterling wrote a short story "Dori Bangs," it's a quick read with a delightfully depressing impact.

Two words: Dark fiber. Laying absurd capacity of trunk line is no more expensive than burying an old copper wire bundle.
You get old enough (and rich enough) and it's not about the ROI anymore, it's about making 'em do it they way you tell 'em to.
Not to mention: can it run Linux?
Well, if you've got a bunch of 'em...

If you're really interested, try reading a few pages here the summaries are short and easy to understand.

Yes, and brute forcing the stream cipher key can take a very long time.
2^19937 is a big number.
