If a standardised 7-bit clean text serialisation were created for every visual object on a Windows-like system - preferably one which was also cleanly human-editable as text - then we'd have something. But I think you'd have to deliberately break some deeply treasured OOP thinking to get there.
I honestly just wish they would continue down the Exchange 2010 path where all GUI windows have a little PowerShell button, you click the button and there is the commands you would need to run in order to get this scripted. I think its an excellent addition to the way you're already used to doing something with the extensibility UNIX fans crave. We could argue about how much better bash et al. are, but I think this is pretty good for windows cli.
As if to say they are usually taught anything they need to know for their job anyway.

Gulf Oil Leak Plugged?

All of the preliminary plans involved using, in some form or another, methods that would allow them to keep the oil rather then having the primary concern of say, stopping the leak all together.

I don't think "we" as in the government could have come up with a solution quicker, what I think is the solution should have already been mapped out BEFORE ANY DRILLING TOOK PLACE. You know, like a "oh shit, all my servers are dead, what do I do?"
The fact that things took this long is a sign that nobody is really looking over the shoulders of the guys in charge here. This was a slow and lethargic bullshit response that started with BP trying to make money off the spilling oil and spiraled into "welp, guess we can't fix it, might as well plug it up."
btw, I live about 100 miles from the coast, have family who live on the coast, more family who fish on that coast and plenty of friends who've been down there and shunned off by the local law enforcement (read: BPs minions). This is a catastrophic failure and totally pisses me off to no end.
No, complain to the FCC. http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm
Follow the little wizard and put everything you told us into it.
It's not AT&T's job to stop phone calls to your device. You either call the police or the FCC.
The question will really be adoption. Which, I imagine, is part of the reason Google is open sourcing it.
My thoughts exactly. I do wonder how they plan on making money off this. Perhaps their portal (eg: gmail) will have some target advertising? Anyway, I'm excited about this but it's years off before we have widespread adoption.
Excluding the hiring of people to find the right deployments to sink money into, isn't this what the government is doing? As far as internet infrastructure go's we are way behind, and creating more infrastructure allows for higher internet speeds. This in turn will drive the market to produce products that use those faster speeds. Creating jobs and spending.
It uses the existing roads rather then requires that every road be outfitted with rails. I've imagined this as well, cars link up with other cars and form trains using some sort of locking mechanism (like the way trains lock into each other).
He's also not considering that this is sometimes stored in a DB for 4-8 hours unless the message is delivered immediately. You can safely assume that if the receiving end of any data transmission is, well receiving that the data need not be stored locally.
I however, do not think this is justification to the overall cost.
I think the difference here is it's not government monitored for the most part in the states and it's not some huge cluster of cameras.
Business owners have the right to demand a warrant before giving out copies of surveillance video, is this the case with CCTV? I was under the impression it was all fed into some central station.
Googles "do no evil" rings in my head after reading your comment.
They've shown that they want fair competition in the market (remember the FCC's auction for 700mhz spectrum?)
However, AFAIK they've stayed out of politics (excluding the above)
Really though, we need people like them throwing there weight around to make stuff like this is a thing of the past.
Jesus, stop being old and grumpy. Technology is moving and we want it to move in a direction that benefits us the most, not where the big wigs at company XYZ want it to move.
This is what I was wondering. Just the idea that a black hole could orbit another black hole is rad.

Did I miss something here? FPS are the reason most of us have stuck to PC gaming.
Could the value of YT somehow sway the opinion of people? I tend to wonder if there wasn't more going on there. I mean, Google knew the lawsuit was coming, and they knew they could defend YT. But 1.6b is a large sum of money. I tend to ask myself questions about these sort of things.
it still can't accept drag&drop files from the desktop, Am I missing something about this? I've seen drag and drop java applets.
Also it looks like some of the newer versions of FF are working on getting things like offline gmail. I think web apps are the future, there easy to prototype and some of the frameworks out there today give you just about as much control as a real native app with about the same speed. As long as you're not looking for some sort of 3d engine in a browser, there king of data entry and searching.
Yep, did you know that by 2007 all ISP's will be required to inspect all packets across there network for P2P Phone calls (or voice chats I think), or VOIP calls? This information will be logged as a phone call. Did you also know that they want the NSA to have a direct link to all of those ISP's and be able to monitor that packet inspection freely, without a warrent, and without notifying the ISP that they are doing it? Believe it, I have a friend who is in charge of a small ISP (one county) and is required to install this sort of equipment. He called it Claria (spelling might be off). He also told me that the juniper eqipment they were buying had to be 'claria' compliant. (research this yourself)

As are many of your complaints.
Maybe that's why I can't find anything when using Bing Maps.
This is exactly how I feel. What in the world would make you want to be a purveyor of obviously one sided misinformation?
I give a huge fuck about this issue and I only watch a few hours of tv a week.

These issues could be taken care of by not allowing any sort of 'corporate' funding of political candidates. Also, kill all lobbyist.
