Just thinking, all the newbs that end up on the terrorist team will always lose because we've already pointed out all the weak points in the compound. The result: Lots more Youtube videos of pissed off newbs breaking their keyboards.
If I were a terrorist leader and expected to be raided/killed, I'd also disappear off the radar, put a bunch of computer in my house, cut off the Internet, and fill those computers with juicy misinformation too delicious to pass up.
This sounds like "I don't want to lose my cushy job" glitterspeak. The only potential I could gather out of this franchise is if every other player stops making war games, which will never happen. Maybe they have a competitive game engine, but unless CoD is orgasmic, its potential will still be limited. Unlike Activision's dairy farming, companies like Valve shine like a vineyard harvested at its peak. I just hope they don't turn their Diablo and Starcraft franchises into dairy farms like WoW.
I haven't inspected the tech myself, but If that's a stereo microphone (that is, a left and a right microphone), some added audio analysis would allow you to track who said what at the same time. Simultaneous audio commands, anyone? That'd be some nifty stuff.
I see Toshiba HDD controllers in the near future that circumvent the protection handed over to law enforcement, and 1-2 days after the release, some hacker is going to find a way to bypass the circuitry/firmware and/or force it to wipe on circumventing hardware.
What happens when all these clients realize that their girlfriends all reside on a few ESX servers or Beowulf clusters? If a human can suffer MPD, then so do these machines. I'd fear being brought to justice for partaking in an online polygamy circle, especially once they legalize human-robot relationships. The transition from the cloud to a physical robot will not be fast enough. And what's to say all those robots won't be operated by the same cloud system?
Actually, this really isn't a joke in this context. I can definitely see history repeating itself. I joined the roster of CS students during a period when Computer Science was suddenly a hot topic only to find that, come graduation, those hot jobs all dried up. I guess I should put my umbrella up for the coming mass of inexperienced job applicants. The buzz is a trap, I tell you.
It was before its time, I guess. This article reminded me of the same thing. Con Edison offered reliable, safe and efficient power. It won't kill you like AC power when you accidentally touch the wire.
I don't think Feynman's hypothesis gives any ground to wjousts' argument. Feynman just says that metaphysical ideas like a creator-god cannot be proven or disproven with physical evidence. wjoust's argument was that a creation scientist is a doofus and not a scientist at all. And I guess I would say a creation scientist is only a doofus in that they just signed themself up for a lifetime of work trying to disprove the link between frogs and man. I think an evolution scientist is equally a doofus for wasting their time comparing present day life with a bunch of rocks. I think they'd be better off using their talents on studying micro-evolution/environmental adaptation to better understand the interactions of present day life and future development and providing solutions that give us the best future outcome. If you can evolve the future, you can show evolution exists, but nobody can decide where the big bang came from or if it was a bang at all.
I think this would be an awesome place to live. I can outwit Yoda and say I'm over 1500 years old. Then again, I'd get pretty sick/poor from celebrating birthdays every 168 earth hours per individual. We'd have to start a tradition of only celebrating them once every 50 years.
Excellent, so next time I perform monetary operations, the computer's going to start asking me trivia questions? I like the idea of requiring anyone who handles money to actually have a brain... oh wait, now we have Watson. Wait til the hackers link trivia captcha with Watson. We're all screwed, unless... we filter all answers that begin with "what/who/where is".
You can still restrict comments/information to specific people or everyone but specific people, so I fail to see how this is a good idea. Why not create jobs with your gobs of money by hiring some kind of journalist roles to jury selection that are authorized to follow jurors around? Then after a day of that say, "friend us on Facebook if you don't want this pesky underling following you around." Or better yet, just pay Facebook to have administrative rights to review an user's data.
I feel like I've moved out to Beverly Hills from the inner city. There's so much space here, you could make a LotR movie from the journey between divs.
I'd mod you some points if I could, but yes, that's where I was going. I guess I meant to refer to admins in the sense of security admins. I work in a large company so system admins tend to work in the world of fixing computer issues, network admins keep the network in check and security admins bounce around with a magnifying glass and a bunch of drain plugs keeping everything shipshape.
Like you said, the small business man benefits from the big business man's expertise and everyone benefits from the break-fixes.
Using closed source software is like putting an admin in the woods at night with a thousand attackers and telling him to catch the attackers before they break into your treasure chest. By the time the admin catches one, the chest has already been looted and the admin spends the rest of his time patching up the loophole while the other attackers are already preparing their next break-in. A good admin shouldn't be measured by how well they handle damage control but how well they can analyze a new piece of software prior to business implementation. Obscurity is just another label for "I'm too lazy to look at source code, so I'm going to take out a giant insurance policy instead and hope that Snake Oil's interns weren't complete dunces when they wrote this software."

I don't know. Making out felt a bit laggy the first night.

So how many greats do you put in front of this grandmother of Bender?

When Wii 3 to come out, then I can make jokes about being the third wheel. "I wanna play the Wii." "Mii too." "Mii three."

This is why I don't mind lugging around my 18-cell laptop. Any day now I'll have ladies flocking to my brawn. Any day now... Eh hem. Any day...
Duke won't be considered "premature" in any sense of the word.
And they say Google is a partner of the coalition for patent fairness (http://patentfairness.org/). What a joke.

... to stick in the kitchen. Though, I might be able to replace the food processor with one of these.

welcome our new everything-is-my-business virus overlords.

And here I thought we were talking about Android OS fragmentation and Samsung's product line being completely doomed.

Well hey, if Microsoft Windows is so secure, why not go with MSSE?
