Can you site references of Israeli technology being stolen/re-engineered and used against the IDF or Israel?
The only "technology" used against the IDF has been rocks, small arms fire, and Qassam rockets (which are homemade rockets that were created by Hamas). Only recently have Katyusha rockets been on the field (which are Russian-made). Surely small arms have been stolen from the IDF, but nothing else AFAIK (i.e.: planes, tanks, armored vehicles, etc).
So, if Linux is "infringing" on Microsoft's IP, why haven't they come forward sooner and said something? They've had years to bring this to everyone's attention; funny how it's just now a "problem".
Besides, where is this supposed "infringement"? Is it in the kernel? Is it some piece of OSS? He did say "Linux" and not "SAMBA" or "Apache" or mention any other software. Although, I think it was funny how he seemed suprised how many at the conference had Linux servers.:)
It's been several years, so I dunno how it got in there; it was dead, so questioning the rat wasn't possible. I do remember us talking about the funky odor that we couldn't place.
For reasons unknown to me, it normally gets them running long enough to pull the important data off them
I was told that this works if the drive has spun a bearing. Putting the drive in the freezer causes the bearing to freeze into place for a short time. You can copy the data off the drive until the drive warms up and starts giving problems, again.
Not related to data recovery (I guess it is information loss, though). We had a wireless antenna set up that connected our office to the main wireless tower array that provided our wireless access for the town. People start calling saying they "can't get anywhere" (don't you just hate that description?). Anyway, come to find out that either the AP on our building or the bridge on the tower isn't working right.
I go and check the bridge on the tower, and it's fine. I notice the local AP shows no WLAN connection, so I go outside. Now, the AP is on the building behind our building (it's taller); we had rented space to put it there. The owners of the building are an older couple (it's an antique store). I walk into the alley and there's the cable that connects the indoor unit to the tranceiver dangling from the roof, and the guy's up there installing an old TV antenna. Doofus there didn't know "what [this] strange cable was", so he cut it (although he didn't admit it; funny how the cable "cut" itself and was fine until he was up there). So, $80 later it's fixed. We managed to splice the cable back together long enough for the new cable to come in.
We also had a person bring in a PC that wouldn't work. The technician opened the case, and there was a big dead rat in the case. Not a mouse, a rat, nest and all.
I swear, people should have to take a class and get certified to be allowed anywhere near technology.:P
What I think is funny is the discussion about the article on the article's site is not about Vista and the Zune, but whether Oriental or Asian is correct (or offensive) to describe the girls in the picture.:P
It's probably all about power and the control of "dangerous" information. If the people learn about "xyz", or, on the other hand, people start talking about the government (or a specific person), a revolution may ensue. People in power like to keep that power and will do a lot of things to keep it that way.
Also, it depends on of they were searching with Google's "Safe Search" on or not (it is on by default; you have to turn it off in the "Advanced Search").
The telcos are the biggest problem to implementing broadband. I used to work for an Internet provider in a small (read: 12k population) town, but we covered several smaller towns in the surrounding areas. The local telco switch wasn't digital, so we had to offer 33.6k dialup or wireless (no inbetween, no DSL).
So, we start looking at starting our own telco service so we can put in our own digital switch to sell DSL. You start making phone calls, spending lots of cash for all the little fees in hooking your up-and-coming CLEC to the local ILEC (Southwestern Bell), and, what do you know . . . SWB starts offering DSL in our little town of 12k people . . . before even offering DSL in a larger town (read: 100k people) that's only 50 miles away. So, all the money we spent, and all the lawyers and consultants we had to have . . . gone. The telcos fight back and kill the small business CLECs.
To demonstrate how the telcos are, I heard about a CLEC in Amarillo, Texas that had been sued by SWB. The judgement was for $12 million, I believe. The CLEC couldn't afford the entire $12mil, so they sent a check for $7mil. SWB promptly returned the check and told them that the judgement was for $12 million, not $7 million, and to send the $12 million settlement to them. Needless to say, the little CLEC didn't last long afterwards.
The telcos and those who crave power (be it executives or politicians) are the problem, not the technology.
The first one had me from the beginning, but I got totally lost in the story in HL2. I never did fully understand what was going on or what I had missed since HL1. Recently, I went back and found a site that described the timeline of events and pulled all the pieces together. I'm gonna go back and replay both HL1 and HL2 now that I understand what's going on; I want to re-experience it. For me, HL2 didn't fill in the blanks in the storyline. I do like it, though, now that I understand.
I do like Halo; both "episodes" did a good job (to me) with the storyline; I didn't feel like I was left out like I was in HL2.
The latest issue of Famitsu contains a first report on the cables that will be included with the Japanese version of the PS3. Purchasers of either the 60 Gig or 20 Gig models will get a power cord, USB cable, Ethernet cable, and standard composite AV cable.
Unless something changes (article dated October 11, 2006), it looks like you only get the composite.:P
Cold air doesn't cause infections, but it can facillitate the "catching" of an infection. The invading organism must be present in order for one to become infected.
Cold air has to be warmed before it gets to the lungs, which is accomplished when blood vessels dialate in the nose to increase blood flow in the nose to warm the air. It (cold air) also causes the mucus to thicken, which inhibits removal of particles and organisms from the body.
If "poor immunity" were true, then people who live in cold regions would be sick more then they are. There was a study done with scientists in Antartica (don't have any references, sorry). The scientists only got sick when they came in contact with an infected person. Who's to say they wouldn't have gotten sick, anyway? The point was that the cold wasn't making them "sick". Besides, if you aren't exposed to things, how are you supposed to build up an immunity? Innoculations are injections of dead invaders into your body so you can make antibodies.
I had IE7RC1 installed and I actually uninstalled it because it was taking me 4 times longer to do any development.
Have you tried since the RC? It was beta (well, at least not "final") for a reason.:) I had Beta 1 or 2 installed, the next version didn't even run on my PC, but the one after did.:P
I can live without tabs in IE; if I want to browse the web for personal reading I'll use FF anyway.
Um, that's why I said *should* not would (or will).
It *should* be easier to find these persons if they are within the United States. Trying to find said persons if they are not within the US borders will be incredibly more difficult (if not nearly impossible), especially if the persons are in a country that is unfriendly to the US. Besides, who said that the persons in question were able to leave the country? SNAFU's can happen in escapes (Murphy?).
If a person is within the US and is working for the DoD, they *should* have been though security checks (even if the validity of the security checks may be in question, they were "checked", nonetheless). If the Government needs to get this person, they have resources from local law enforcement to federal agents to find him (resources that won't be available if the person is outside US borders).
it doesn't matter where the code was written, does it?
Yes it does; the difference being if the programmer is physically here in the US, it *should* be easier to find the person if there is a problem. The US government entity can control the person easier if they live in the US than if they were abroad.
total number of downloads and total number of users are not the same thing...
Especially when corporations are running a Windows Server Update Services servers (we have 2 here to cover different geographical areas). It downloads once, then farms it out to the clients. Actually, we installed the 2nd WSUS server so that the workstations at one of our other organizations wouldn't upgrade to IE7 automatically (because of a crappy program the staff is forced to use via web browser).
f you are going to try to sue someone, I wouldn't rely on legal advice from someone who is apparently a non-lawyer and puts out a guide to suing on a federal law claim in small claims court that tries to make it seem open-and-shut simple.
Agreed. In the essay the author states:
he judge got extremely flustered for a minute and then started to accuse me of "entrapment" (even though the recorded phone call took place after I had received the original spam), and she never commented on the fact that the defendant had just been caught lying under oath.
Now, I realize that this is Washington, but, in Texas, entrapment is a defense to prosecution (i.e.: it is not the judge's place to help defend a party in a suit; the party must defend itself using the chosen defense). Besides, at least in Texas, entrapment must involve law enforcement:
8.06. ENTRAPMENT. (a) It is a defense to prosecution
that the actor engaged in the conduct charged because he was induced
to do so by a law enforcement agent using persuasion or other means
likely to cause persons to commit the offense. Conduct merely
affording a person an opportunity to commit an offense does not
constitute entrapment.
(b) In this section "law enforcement agent" includes
personnel of the state and local law enforcement agencies as well as
of the United States and any person acting in accordance with
instructions from such agents.
If the writer really knew the law, this would be a non-issue; besides, you can always appeal your ruling to a higher court (doesn't mean they will hear it, though).
I'd suggest XP Home. It cheaper than Pro; get Pro if you need to be on a Windows domain (I dunno about VPN capability on Home). I think Vista should be out of the question: the EULA alone is bad enough, and it takes good hardware to run right, IMHO (XP and Ubuntu fly on an AMD 1.4G w/768M RAM compared to Vista RC2 crawling on it like I'm running XP with 64M).
Certain stimuli in the brain, such as the smell of freshly based cookies, lead to higher levels of dopamine that remain after the stimulus is removed, leading to altered behavior through interaction with learning, memory, and executive function. The experiencer is more likely to make a purchase decision based on their heightened dopamine levels, with significant impact for internet marketers
So when will we stop focusing so much on video resolution and get smell-o-vision?! Just as long as there's a "smell blocking" function (like mute).
Waits for the "Smell-o-Scope" and "Uranus/Urectum" jokes to start.
Also, at least in Texas law and in relation to property, parents are responsible for their children until the children reach the age of 18 (Family Code, Chapter 41).
