I've always found it hard not to be religious even if your religion is not believing in religions. Just going to take the first sentience of the religion article on wiki real quick.
Religion is the belief in and worship of a god or gods, or a set of beliefs concerning the origin and purpose of the universe
So, because most atheist have a pretty strong opinion on how the earth was formed I have always considered it a religion myself. I pontificate that the only way to be non religious is to just not give a damn about people who are religious or how the world was created anyways. When studying one subject you might make your axioms based on valid scientific theories as it will aid you in the furthering of your understanding in that subject, but when studying others you might take a different approach. After all in every day life it is generally not to important what Stephen Hawkings thinks about Gravity and the Big Bang, Really just my two cents on the issue.
At a 100 pages its going to be a while before I can say I have RTFA, but I'll get back with any relevance in a few days after I have digested it. I suggest any post claiming other wise are a bit hasty.
When I read the headline I thought they were talking about spying on its own citizens and I was ready for arms. Then I read its on foreign governments and I am all like ok, what ever gets the info. I'll go speculate to myself if I should feel bad about that.
You seem to be the only one here today that actually tried to think about this submission instead of just ranting about how stupid he is for using the default password. As much as I hate to admit it assuming the port 80 interface can not be accessed except by local LAN the password for the web interface is mostly to keep your random jack-ass of a friend from messing with your settings or the guy who cracks your wi-fi password.
About the 4567 access I have to say that a secret backdoor (assuming this guy is just lazy and not an idiot and missing the big allow remote access check box.) Is something that anyone should be concerned about. If they can change your password they can likely pull access logs as well. It is definitely a reason to buy your own router/modem. I have never had a FIOS connection, but assuming the actual FIOS modem is installed on the outside of the house WTH do they need access to the router anyways.
The article made it sound far more complex problem then just live performance. The reference to machines dynamically synthesizing the music based on a director/sound mans input is interesting. I for one would be highly upset to go to a Broadway with out a pit orchestra. That being said the last few I have been to have had at least one number where the actual vocals were pre-recorded to allow for more stage movement among the stars and considering that plenty of teenagers go to pop concerts that are completely faked we shouldn't be surprised I guess, but its a sad occurrence.
After reading the article the one thing I have to ask is why the string section? In all my years I have never heard a really nice set of synthesized strings so that shocked me, but I am just going to assume I have never worked with the grade of equipment they have access to.
I'm instantly skeptical of any study that claims 100%. I need to reread the article again, but they latter talk about 80% in trials so I am not even sure why they boast about a theoretical 100 percent.
In Louisiana these things are always used to also give out speeding tickets for (they claim 11 over, but my wife received one for 7 so I personally think its 6mph). Might sound bad as I have had to pay tickets from these things, but I disagree in handing out speeding tickets through automated systems. This Article cites a reviewing officer, but to my knowledge the system in place where I live uses company employees and not police officers to review the video's. Anyways I have no problem with ticketing anyone who runs a stop sign its a dangerous act that you can't expect cops to witness enough to enforce the law. However, I can't say I like the idea of ticketing a car and not a driver, but at least they have a spot on the ticket to transfer the ownership of the ticket to the driver.
I do have problems with getting speeding tickets from them with out the benefit of the doubt or consideration to the flow of traffic and day of the week. In a big city normally the roads are so busy its not possible to speed when it would be really dangerous to do so, but it is possible to run red lights. However, on the weekdays or early in the morning when no one is on the road its easy to forget that some parts of a five lane road are 35MPH and be caught going 42MPH. They do not release the stats here that often, but it was reported by the local news (for what ever that is worth) that the five camera's in my area produced more revenue then the traffic tickets issued by the regular police force during the first year of operation. As I can't find the quote right now online I will have to take that fact with a grain of salt, but worth mentioning.
This has to be one of the Best UID threads I have stumbled on to in a while, but then again what do I know. My 840k shows that I lingered for way to long before signing up. I often wonder what I would be if I had signed up around 2001 when I started reading Slashdot. Granted given the fact I have less then 20 replies or so I haven't needed it all that much. Recently been trying to change that.
Government regulations are what keep you from dying every time you make toast, plug in the kettle, or turn on the TV. They keep you safe on the roads. They stop your house from falling in, from toxic chemicals being found in your food, and thousands upon thousands of other hazards that every day life throws at you.
I see several tankers and only two rigs. You can't compare the two, but I know of several spills which are not on the list so for the benefit of the doubt.
Well patents are pretty damn public knowledge, so I don't see how an open-source project that does the same thing can be infringing on a patent. Now, the people who use the source code might infringe on it, but drawing a schematic of a door latch doesn't infringe on the door latch, but building one does.
It might not work this way at all, but the above is why I think its fairly unfair to ask someone to remove a post about how to do it.
I don't know, but the wired article puts this issue to bed for me. A 20db loss isn't that bad and to be honest AT&T network sucks so bad that I left it because of dropped calls with any phone I owned on it long before the Iphone came out. Given the large number of Iphone owners that use cases to distinguish there phone from everyone else I have a feeling that the top poster is right and this is non issue.
It should also be noted that the Wired article and tons of blogs point out that the Iphone4 preforms better then the 3G at low signal (numerical) strengths. So, if since I trust technical reviews more then I do some Youtuber with a hand held camera I am going to say yes I do believe that some of the video's are just mass speculation.
Now what I would like to see is some comparisons to drop call performance on AT&T network with other smart phones at similar numerical strengths. Then we could decide if this is the phone or just America's most unreliable network. All this aside I think this were patching your phone to always have less bars is a joke a huge PR mistake.
Tell me about it. PSU just blew on my machine yesterday. Sending it for repairs hell if I am going to give up the PS2 hardware being integrated in to my system.
This is an odd statement to me. I owned a PSX and a PS2 and now I own a PS3. I don't keep every console I have ever played hooked up to my tv I try to consolidate. So, I have a launch PS3 and when I want to play a PSX or PS2 game for kicks or because I liked the game I spin the disk up and play it. Likewise when I want to watch a DVD or BluRay I put them in and watch them. I don't go now that I have HD all dvd's are a waste. I spent a lot of money for medium grade resolution when that wass all I could do and I don't plan on giving film studio's the honor of bulk rebuying my collection every generation. Maybe every other generation, but definitely not once per format.
I mean if a game was fun in 1986 it is still fun today. I might not be able to tell my kid why I like The Legend of Zelda or Mario All Stars, but it doesn't change the nostalgia. That being said I am quite two-faced on the issue when it comes to new content and ask why would anyone own a wii when they could own a 360/PS3.
In short People want BC so they can have a single machine that can play there old games. I have always assumed Sony would add it back when they stopped making PS2s, but now that they are trying to sale PS2 games on BluRay disk for the PS3 I doubt it will ever happen and I don't know if the next generation will play previous generation games. I know if they switch architectures off the cell its most likely never going to happen.
I think there are some other features missing now like some special audio formats that only the Launch Titles could do. Not to mention USB ports and such.
The only thing I can think they have added is the ability for your ps3 to use the HDMI port to turn your tv on (can't remember the standard name right now). I hear the next revision will have 802.11n which would be nice but I personally have a wired connection to my system so I can't see them convincing me to upgrade.
This is always going to happen any time a group tries to roll out a new ID. Worse if you require this ID to buy things and to work and even worse then that is if you some how attach the ID to the individual, but besides the fact people still get all excited when it happens. However, I am often shocked how if the motivation isn't religious how often its in the name of privacy which at least at/. is its own religion to some.
I look at all of the work done against RealID in this country and for a person who always has his passport on him, I really don't understand why anyone would be against Identification standards in this country. Seems we would move towards it naturally, but we don't so when its forced its a travesty that will be the end of all state budgets. So a group of people are against something new because of something they believe. Obviously, that group is only rationalized if you agree with them as is typical with any debate.
This is a referendum petition not a vote. Its important to realize that it will eventually go up for vote, which it did and was over ruled, because the referendum did not have enough support. Now the votes for the referendum are not a matter of public record and I do not think the call for it should be. The people who signed it are not public politicians that represent anyone but themselves there voting record does not need it be made public to these non exsistance constituents like a regular politicians should be.
If they faked the petition it wont get them anywhere in the referendum so it doesn't benefit them in the same way voter fraud would. This is why stuffing petitions if fruitless and nothing to get upset about. That being said by knowing that your name will be released to the public it becomes more intimidating for citizens to get involved in the referendum process which is the exact opposite reason it exist.
Most people support gay rights so they think this is a dumb argument, but if this had been about African suffrage or female suffrage. And we were worried about hate groups who wanted to know all the Caucasians who signed a petition to support these rights. Its already been mentioned that secret ballots in third world countries are very important and it really shouldn't be any different here.
The opinion's mostly point to most referendums are mundane and so this one shouldn't be held on a special level because it happens to be a hotter topic, but I just think its easier to get people involved in the political process when they don't have to worry about future intimidation. I don't know if this will change anyone opinion on the issue, but it is my two cents.

For the author I figure the firewall rule is his best option. I'm going to guess he doesn't have a managed switch since he didn't think of that already. A number of users bring a valid point that throttling with out approval might backfire though.
It is likely a mod bug of something like
((2010 % 10) % 4) == 0
So, 2020 is the next time this is likely to occur. 2014 is possible, but I doubt they were that stupied
Ah, but 2020 is a leap year so by this reasoning 2030 is the next time we have to worry. Doubt anyone cares by then

To me this feature is the same as a bookmark, the top ranks in google do not change that often it is very unlikely that one day I will be sent to a site other then http://slashdot.org./ However, other users I know do not even understand what is going on and believe they are typing in valid URLs when they go to http://icanhascheezburger.com/ by typing lolcats any number of sites whose url is different then the typical name for the website. I would think that this is a strong argument that search engines still provide a great deal of traffic to major websites.
As an interesting point though. How much more traffic is generated by aggregate websites these days like/. and digg then search engines. I would like to see some numbers on that.
I can't say thumb screws are all that bad. Before it was replaced by a HDMI to DVI cable. A plasma tv at work used a HDMI to DVI adapter which for some reason they mounted on the back of the tv panel instead of on the PC end of the cable. That caused the HDMI port to bend over time and having a set of screws to rigidly mount the adapter in to might of saved that.
We also use a lot of pretty serious industrial cables for other standards like firewire at work that come with thumb screws when normal cables do not. It can often come in handy. However, that being said apples magnetic power adapters have saved my laptop on multiple occasions so I am not arguing against quick disconnects either.

We can both drill through this and see how many rig spills have occurred. Its likely more then two, but way less then drunk ship captains.
