Does it occur to the author that if Apple allowed virtualization of OS X this wouldn't be a story? Apple is over priced buggy crap (battery failures in the high teens, same with hard drives for their Macbooks.)and they live for the lock in, tying you to their view and their systems. If you could run (legit) virtual OS X then the story would be developers using less expensive systems with higher hardware specs running OS X virtual in Linux or Windows.
My PC laptop has the same system specs for 799 dollars that a high end Macbook Pro has for 2700. You "developers" must be rich, I mean why else would you pay for that? Stupid?
But make it the size of a rifle so I can get a head shot from 10 miles away, it's a brave new world of assassination, nothing visible, no noise, and nothing left over for CSI.
Store everything on the thumb drive, don't use truecrypt because you don't have anything to hide correct? So why make it look like you do.
Alternatively contact the hotel you will stay in, UPS the laptop there then UPS it back.
My friend does this all the time to avoid border BS, and I can't express how stupid it is to check laptops...if I'm tryin gto get data in or out why would I leave it on my laptop? FTP it, bit torrent it, mail it in a hard drive or thumb drive...but leave incriminating evidence on my laptop?
I could simply not use torrents before, Giganews (with encryption) was a better way to go any ways, this new system seems like they will dump on me every 15 minutes regardless of what I am doing (gaming, downloading, streaming) and doesn't have a easy dodge for me to avoid it...at least not yet. Knowing what a crap company Comcast is you can't expect anything ethical or fair from these people.
Why do we not have an internet where bandwidth is not an issue? We are so far behind some others it's embarrassing...bandwidth shouldn't be an issue now a days.
Isn't that real question? Why is bandwidth still an issue? What exactly do they do with their money?
I am fitter than most of my co workers and I game quite a bit, FPS only these days as RPG's are to addictive.
I can see why there would be more depression and substance abuse, after all they don't call it "Evercrack" for nothing, and video games are just another escape like drugs or alcohol for some people.
I think it stems from lack of control / feelings of powerlessness in real life and when they game (especially RPG'S) there is a feeling of control and power, escapism at its finest.
In either case I chose to only play quake style FPS (TF2, Quakewars, ETC) instead of RPG's, because in an RPG I wind up putting more effort into the game than I do my own "real life". FPS I just shoot characters for a few hours and I am done no character to worry about.
I just wanted to add something interesting, I forwarded an account to my gmail in order to use gmail's filters to rid me of most of the "sorting" work, periodically I log into the original account to clean it up. After about 6 months of doing this, I notice when I log into the original account there is almost no spam in it these days. I guess they lost interest in that email since I never actually look at anything in it.
Missing my point, I want to know which works better over all, while computers may work well for some and not others, and vice versa what happens to the actual learning process? If a child does well in school using a computer but gets a job that requires reading from a book how well does the learning translate? How well does information stick, and could it be the kids like it because it's easier to goof off? Do blinking lights and pictures really make for better learning? In addition I am concerned for a "all digital school" when something that people don't want you to learn is in the teaching material, can they just update it automatically over the schools network? For example a school district has an issue with evolution, well "lets just pump out an update" and now kids will learn only what we want them to.paper books have a nasty habit of staying around after they are printed...of not being updated in quite the same way, there by preserving that opinion or information permanently. Digital tools do not have that.
Anyone seen a comparison of final test scores for kids learning via computers and kids learning the "old fashioned" way (books and paper) as in "does one group do better than the other?"
Interesting side note the Muslim culture had book bazaars full of books that you could buy and read at the time, in contrast the catholic church in the same region had maybe 5 books and no bazaars, they preferred their "flock" nice and ignorant.
200 clams for a book on internal combustion engine fundamentals...yeah I am sure those basics have changed a lot over the last 50 years. (sarcasm) You got ripped off.
After having to pay for a new algebra book (75$'s) because, apparently, algebra changed since last year and the teacher insisted I have the new book. The majority of cost for me to go to a community college here in California is the books, and it is such a scam by the book companies, which also left me wondering "does the teacher get a kick back?" Why would an algebra teacher insist on the latest book? Because his exercises are there so it makes it easy to correct? Why? Who cares it's a rip off any way you look at it. This is one example of information that should be free, or extremely cheap, at least when it comes to types of knowledge (math) that has not changed for centuries.
For all the crap and propaganda his news corp spews out...would anyone care to argue that FOX is the single worst place to get information, at least "accurate" information. I hope he goes bankrupt.
What's worse is that with an electronic device like a laptop or a "Kindle like" device, information can be easily "updated" to read however the current power structure wants it to. Is anyone else nervous that Rupert Murdoch's Corp has taken an interest in electronic textbooks? When history gets in the way of some future political power they can simply "update" that e-book or laptop and then it will read as they want it to.
At least when you printed a book it stayed that way...now information is malleable it's going to become untrustworthy.
Forced "updates" for "security reasons" and no trustworthy source of information.
There are now onyl 50 targets to take out the entire government network system? Based on how many trojan scans I get from.gov IP's I would say their grasp of network security is slim at best...so reducing the number of gateways to 50 seems like a giant "hack me" sign.
Not jailbroken, an overpriced pretty piece of junk (yes I own one) jail broken and with installer, an awesome tool and I love it. I get the feeling Apple secretly likes the fact that it's been cracked and made useful, regardless of how ATT feels about it.
Cost shouldn't be an issue, look at what they charge us and cellular networks are cheaper to expand than hardwired cables thru the ground, I agree with "conditioned" most people don't know enough to know any better.
I will say we are headed for a world of hurt when all communications go via IP (phone/video/data) you want to talk about a "terrorist" wet dream that would be it. the reliability of The current network structure can't even come close to POT's (IMO).
Screw cost, they charged me 19$'s in 2001 now my bill is 49$'s for the *same exact service*....

Then others can read it and track/follow what you do so not entirely "meaningless".

Am I wrong about this?
'Computer technology and the Internet are lowering the cost of doing business,' said John Lilly,
Yep right up till they figure out how to ream you via bandwidth or some other required medium.
Wow now yellow really does mean speed up, you're going to have to to avoid the ticket.
It pays biologically for men to err on the side of trying to get laid, for women it's better to err on the side of caution.
