Sean Hannity (can't stand him, but listen sometimes on my way home from work just to get mad lol) had Joe Lieberman on and had they talked about this and that. Two days later Hannity has two foreign people on talking about what's going on in Egypt, with each person having different views. He then asked the one if the current President of Egypt (or whatever that position is called) is a Dictator, and kept hounding the point. After the lady wouldn't agree or say, Sean said something along the lines of "well look, he had the internet shut off, which makes him a dictator".
Well if that's true, then Lieberman is a dictator for having come up with the internet kill switch for the US, as well as anyone else who agreed on the bill.
It's funny how one action someone else is evil and "makes someone a dictator", yet the same or similar actions else where are just fine.
It increases server load, with each connection being encrypted. If you look at say DD-WRT on a linksys router, the thru put drops a lot when using VPN with encryption. To combat this, you can use a dedicated VPN point, say one made by Cisco, but they aren't cheap and IIRC there's a license limit to the # of VPN connections you can provide. (I may be wrong on the license part though). I know Penn State uses it for people who want to connect from home and for access over certain WiFi networks on campus. That all was setup before I started in the department I'm in, so I have no clue the cost to set it up and maintain it, plus it's managed by Central IT and not within the department I'm in.
Or something better in the aspect you weren't locked into only installing what Apple said was ok, as well as having the multitasking capabilities that the WinMobile phones had supported for a while
My guess is because of the keyboard location at the bottom, it would be better to keep a bar that's always on the screen at the top. This way it's always visible and you don't accidentally hit things on the bar with your finger or hand
We use Ipads a lot in the ETC center of the College of Education at Pen State. With remote desktop, exchange integration, the size and portability, web functionality, it's a great tool for sys admins who need to go help others while still retaining the ability to remote into servers and other such devices to change configs, manage support tickets, update databases etc. Less bulky than a laptop, while providing the tools we need.
It's not to say Android devices wouldn't do the job as well, but the iPads were out first and fit the bill nicely (and being on the Mac Admin side it fit well with the existing infrastructure).
They're also used during interviews to record audio so we can easily go back and check on things that were said
couldn't it be counted as prostitution? I mean in most places that's the exchange of sex for another item (drugs, money, etc). So the officer is having sex in exchange for information in a way, right? (I know very twisted view of it... but hey I wonder if it would stick?)
Seriously, you think THAT is a big deal? How about Amazon, who not only does the billing, invoicing, tracking, serving, but also SHIPPING and RETURNS. Now THAT is an impressive feat.
"On March 26, 2010, Amazon had a higher market cap than Target Corporation, Home Depot, Costco, Barnes and Noble, and Best Buy, only lagging that of Walmart among American brick and mortar retailers"
Funny, because my Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 runs flash just fine (10.1 at that), doing embedded flash within websites, ads and all. That's an ARM based Samsung produced chip running Android 2.2
It's no different than having access to a system tied into say patient records. There's no need or reason for you to go looking at information on someone else who you aren't treating or don't have permission to look at (for example in the US you have to sign papers for doctors to transfer your medical records etc to another doctors office).

Sorry sir NeutronCowboy, but you made yourself sound like an idiot to me: Carbon dioxide is a trace gas, a tiny gas, part of this huge system. You’re trying to tell me that’s going to control the system and influence the energy of the system? When you have things like the sun, which is obviously the greatest contributor to the world’s energy? It almost defies common sense. I started to lose confidence at this point. It's a standard argument from incredulity: I don't understand this, therefore it can't be true. He also confuses what's causing global warming: it's not only the energy input that controls how much warming occurs, but also how much energy is lost to space. And the problem that everyone's been talking about is that less energy is lost to space than before.
CO2 is still increasing, and the overall temperature has leveled off. Because CO2 isn't the only thing that controls the Earth's temperature. If he had actually read the research and would understand climate science, he'd know that, and he'd know that this bit of info is widely known. My personal prediction 5 years ago was that we'd be getting back to a regular warming schedule in the next 1-3 years, based on nothing else than knowing that the sun was entering a quiet period then.
If you RE-READ his first paragraph I reposted, you'd SEE he says CO2 isn't the only thing, and it's a small thing. Then, after blasting that line, you RESTATE the SAME DAMN THING he said to try to prove his 2nd point I reposted wrong (or try to elaborate on it and that he doesn't understand it). Based off of what I read, you sir don't understand how to read properly:)
they are thinking like the RI/MPAA.. living in the past and not growing with the future. This is a horrid business plan, period. The world is moving to mobile, that's a known fact. Be it business (video conferencing while away from the office or on a business trip) to people playing games or watching videos while waiting somewhere. If you look at how much of a profit these companies are earning, why they wouldn't be building out the network to handle the (obvious) demand and potential (if not guaranteed) growth in the future to capitalize even more on the demand.. well then they should just switch 3G off and stick with EDGE or GPRS only.
And you'd really want to browse the web on your phone/laptop at a blistering 33.6kbps connection? Might as well just turn off the 3G part of your phone and use the EDGE only (most phones you can do this too).
with a BSD running on it, someone would find a way to get the Mach kernel working and get OS X up and running (granted it would need to be an older version with PPC support)
They run for a pre-programmed about of time (typically 10-12 minutes or 20-24 range). They tell you right in the manual (for those dumb enough to try) to not use in garages, enclosed areas, etc etc.
If any of you have ever installed a remote start on a car with a chip-in-the-key security, you'd realize this isn't that exciting or unexpected. In the earlier days of bypassing the chips in the keys, this is the exact technique we used. It was analog-to-analog too. The key was placed into a winding of wire (maybe 11 to 60 loops), one end of the loop connected to a relay. Then, at the ignition cylinder, there was another loop of wires, again typically anywhere from 5 loops to 30 loops, with one end of that loop connected to a relay, and the other end of each loop connected to each other. When the relay was activated, and the ignition powered up, the antenna loops would allow the power from the antenna in the ignition to power the chip in the key, and allow the now powered chip to relay it's code back to the antenna at the ignition cylinder.
It wouldn't have been hard to increase the sensitivity of this setup to get a longer range (both in terms of how far the wire loops could be spread apart, but also how far away the one loop could pick up the key, and the other loop the ignition cylinder) using a bi-directional amp and possibly more windings.
The fact this was done to a system DESIGNED to have longer range (as the intelli-key systems are active and not passive in the RF signals) it's no real surprise. They didn't technically hack the system, they just extended the range of the wireless communications. It's a big deal to people who didn't know this could be done, or those who could have their car stolen using this technique, but it's really not that shocking to people who should or do know better than to think it's fool proof.
As a side note, on the earlier Ford's with the chip-in-key system, you could disable the system by pulling a certain fuse under the hood, and instead of defaulting to a "no code, no start" mode, the car would failsafe into a "you can start without the chip". And to those asking about the steering wheel lock.. they aren't THAT hard to break or remove if you really want to break or remove one.
I'm not sure how old the su-47 is, but I remember having a matchbox version of the X-29 when I was really young, and I'm now 31.. so you figure I had that about 22 years ago.
Immix lists unlimited, and it is unlimited. I used over 5gb of data during my laster semester doing remote desktop and a few other things to get my school work done, and it was never throttled nor mentioned to me in any fashion. Typically I'm around the 2gb +/- a few hundred megs
