I love the idea of this. All the courses you want to take for $99 a month. Even if you did a four year degree you're in the hole for roughly $4,800 as compared to the $33,000 I'm in the hole for my B.Sc.
This is going to be very disruptive. If I could do my masters studies for $99 a month I'd jump at it. And I know there is a big push in the legal community on the ABA to accept distance learning for legal jurisprudence degrees. In essence it would force states like RI to honor a JD obtained online instead of making you wait five years.
Most of the effect on human tissue is heating and in the microwave range. Put it this way, the 70cm is about 27 inches and the wavelength gets smaller as frequency goes up. That's a wavelength smaller than a human and can induce heating. But you'd need a hell of a lot of power.
U.S. AM radio stretches 535kHz to 1700kHz. 144 feet as mentioned above is huge and you have to keep in mind that RF power falls off as the square of the distance. So ten miles out the RF power of 50,000W is down to about 500W if I recall correctly.
And if the ELF folks were smart, they'd take Fox News off the air.
I setup the browsers on my computer and iPod Touch to clear history on exit. I also use Firefox and set the history parameter to zero days. I wonder what they'd do to me?
If they look through my pictures they'll find mostly boring stuff.
Parking enforcement in Providence RI was turned over to a private company. Same kiosks btw.
I've walked past a few that had "FATAL ERROR" on their displays. Or that just weren't working at all. They're not environment hardened and they should be. They could learn a thing or two from the guys who make gas pumps where the card reader works when it's 10 below 0 and the thing doesn't just break down.
And it's pretty easy to game the system. I have a thermal printer in my possession suppose I were to print my own receipt? Who'd know?
Indeed. Card access systems are nice but nothing beats good solid doors and hardware locks. That's how I designed the Sec of State's IT infrastructure. Oh and it's own alarm system. To enter the room you need a key, an alarm code, and you need to know the door keypad code.
Brick walls all around and double re-inforced interior walls with firebreaks.
Interesting a friend of mine worked for the local police department. I worked for the state AG's offfice. That police department (As well as Dept. of Children, Youth and Families) had access to both the RI Criminal History system and the Interstate Identification Index on that system.
There are Memo's of Understanding between all agencies. It'd be like me sending the State Police after my buddy because the local PD is the biggest in the state and they have data that we didn't.
When I come up with the spare cash I have to order one of these kits. I love putting things together, and I've been looking for a major soldering challenge. This one would probably take me about 1.5 to 2 hours to build.
Which is why I went apeshit when friend started using negative reinforcement in the form of corporal punishment on their dogs. Stupid stupid, stupid.
The only proper way to train a dog is through positive reinforcement of desirable traits. For example, house training.
Dogs only know one way to go, they won't go on paper in the house and then remember to go outside. Learn about your dogs metabolic and digestive processes, most urine clears the system in 1 to 1.5 hours. Digestion varies which is why you let the dog mess once but keep track of the timing. Then when feeding said dog, it's walk or paper time x number of hours later.
I could never see the point of cursive. I still know how to do it but rarely use it. The only thing I still use cursive for of course is my signature. But even that, well, it's not the neatest in the world.
In school I regularly got dinged for penmanship but by 7th grade, home computers and more importantly inexpensive printers started happening. Why the hell did I even know how to write if I could type it?
I've got some CD's I burned clear back in the year 2000 that are still readable. Part of it is the media, buy cheap junk media and you get what you paid for.
But backups, true backups. I've got an external 750GB drive and I use Macrium Reflect to do full system backups once a month. It's compression takes a 160GB partition down to about 27GB.
The only thin CD-R's are used for these days is audio CD's.
I'll never buy a Kindle. When Amazon pulls this shit they're depriving a customer of their license to view the book. The customer now has a grievance against Amazon.
I note many laptops now come with fingerprint scanners. That's a little bit harder to fake. But it should be coupled with a password. That way you have dual layers of security. But with a Windows box you just boot it up in Knoppix or something similar and it exposes the whole NTFS filesystem.
Now way to abuse it? Are you serious? On whose part, the government or the end user? As an end user you have many many options. GPS units need power. No power, no track.
The pharmaceutical distribution chain has been computerized for quite a while now. They have histories for every person, drug, etc. It's just that the information isn't necessarily shared across the chains like CVS, Walgreens, et al. But the upshot is that the drug companies and the pharmacies know their customer base very well.
May not be an easy job per se but what is a payroll system but a massive calculator. But it I do know payroll has to integrate with the general ledger system and that's a big fly in the ointment.
I've had some experience with this. Here's what ends up happening.
You setup a system so that a ticket is assigned, the person assigned gets into the ticket and adds comments. Technically they've answered the ticket at that point. The thing that lots of people don't want to realize is that some tickets will go on for months on end.
When I got my Info Sci degree at a local university we were openly encouraged to share code. The theory was that other students could evaluate and critique code.

I've made over $33K. It's just that around here jobs are getting scarce because of government stupidity.

The new Hanley Technical School also has a library bereft of books. It is technology friendly though.
I'm trying to go as paperless as I can but the powers that be and the DMCA kind of defeat the purpose in that.

That it was asshat Arpaio's troops who did this.

I don't really blame this so much on Firefox than I do on sites like Digg and on Apple for their resource heavy iTunes.
Frequently updated. However a slam if I may, 3.5.2 has HORRIBLE javascript rendering. Hopefully this is fixed in the new version.
Hell, I have a Yaesu FT-5100 that is modified to operate out of band. I just use it to listen and even there its not the most sensitive receiver.
The kid that did this on the CTA is just someone who bought a radio. No technical skill at all.

They have to get the price below $20,000 per car. The technology does in fact exist to do this.
Well, yeah. You could link them via ODBC to a MySQL database and then import the data to your GL.

In the case of the one I designed it was a huge red slam button labeled "Master Shutdown" and was under a flip cover.
