This article begs the thought, what if a hostile force did take over the computer systems of military vehicles. With the advent of fly by wire and now drive by wire systems, the computer can pretty much take complete control over the vehicle. Add in something like Storm, which can run more brute force keygens than even the best supercomputer, and none of these vehicles are in any way secure, even with this new digital armor installed.
Sterling's are older than the 70's. I've been tinkering on using a sterling for cooling off an engine block for a few years now (pretty good results too, allowing me to generate electricity from the previously wasted heat).
No arguements there, Itanium is a beast. I'd love to run one myself. But, the cost, the power consumed, it's hard to justify that over my UltraSPARC here.
I think in the long term it is the better design, I know I'd sooner run Itanium than Xeon, but it needs to get over the hump.
Why for not? Mohammad Atta was a frequent WalMart shopper.
or buy Kentucky Bourbon.
Actually, yes they did. Jim and Jack were two popular choices. Heck, Saddam himself had a thing for Johnny Walker. Osama used to be a heavy whisky drinker as well.
Terrorists are also transient.
The 9/11 cells almost all stayed put for months at a time.
Ever read the old OVD threads? One of the ideas on there could even be used to give studios their protection from casual thievery as well, encrypt the video stream not to some massive keyfile that could be brute-forced, but instead to a barcode within the disk itself. Equipment to manufacture the disks is expensive, and bulky, so to be a massive piracy operation you'd not be running in a basement. But as the stream could be decoded on the fly and recoded for other formats, end-users would not be limited either. But, by re-encoding, you do loose some clarity, much like when you copy VHS tapes, thereby allowing fair use.
at Pizza Hut across the street from the Portland Mall, in front of the South Portland Cinema, next to IHOP and a gas station. (I know that exact Pizza Hut) We must get the records of everyone that eats pizza, shops at a mall, watches movies, enjoys breakfast and buys gas!
You can only claim that if the people in this case were going to buy the game/movie/music but decided not to because they recieved a copy through other means. To make that claim is a stretch by any measure.
CD sales are down because what is released on CD is crap. What record companies do not like about file sharing is not piracy at all, it's that they do not control what you can listen to. Like an independent band (I happen to have an Amy Martin CD right here, for instance) you can purchase it without the labels prohibiting it through their channel-lockups.
This measure has nothing to do with piracy and everything to do with outdated business models being destroyed by new technologies, and companies unwilling to adapt. They loved the monopoly.
if you check online you'll find quite a few options. In my case, I happened to be checking my networks outgoing traffic and noticed the unusual port open on a typical P2P port. As work frowns on P2P (while not forbidding it) I went to the desk to see what they were eDonkey'ing.
All of these articles on botnets such as Storm always mention home system vulnerability...
Well, let me point out for a second how while dangerous for a single home system to be infected, it is a world worse when a business system becomes infected.
Within hours, typically that botnet has replicated to all of the machines on the internal network. Worse, now that botnet has access to your critical database information, consisting of customer records. Often times, the brains behind these botnets can better datamine than your business can, finding interconnections with your customers to better flood them with spam, or worse.
At my job, one of our machines was hit with the Storm. We isolated it within minutes, but even then it still wa a close call. If I hadn't been doing a routine portscan at just the right moment, we'd have never spotted it.
After that, the boss authorized me to begin a slow migration to Linux.
Pity you've missed the best parts of the game. I find ED expanded the definition of a Hero, not diminished it. What is heroic to you, sitting there for hours nose to nose with the Kronos Titan without it making a scratch, or hammering it while coming within an inch of your life yet coming out on top!
I am Blaster, as I go through the valley of debt I shall know no fear!
I see a few attempts at explaining were tried, but without giving you a full understanding.
The giant nerf spoken of was called Enhancement Diversification. While it's common to state that this was a hard cap of 3 enhancements per power, it's far more subtle than that. What they did was add in a bell curve of diminishing returns for enhancements, with it starting to be noticeable around 75%. So, say you slot in 2 33% enhancements, you get the full 66%. Slot in a third, you get 93%. But, slot in 3 25% enhancements you get 74%. You can slot in more, but with diminishing returns each time. In and of itself, it hurt a lot of people.
But, now with Invention Origin enhancements, you now get buffs that more than compensate. So I am in agreement with others, that the two should have been introduced together, but still, they're here now. What IO's do is that if you slot sets in, that is enhancements designed around each other (same name) give extra bonuses that are independent of the individual power's bonus. So, say you slot 4 powers each with a set that gives a bonus of 10% to damage, you'd have a 40% damage bonus on-top-of your normal attack enhancements. Pretty slick design if I do say so myself. It does promote more diversity as well, as bonuses can be achieved through millions of combos. It also downgrades the flavor of the month builds that previously dominated the game.
Open Sourced Solaris, SPARC, now Java... Halleluiah cries the OSS choir.
But seriously, this business move by Sun has made it far more attractive to my company, enabling us to test out Solaris on our existing server before we perform a rollout. In addition, having the source code for the UltraSPARC T1 has enabled us to do research into how the chip functions on a lower level, with an eye to further optimizing our software to perform even faster on it. Sun, you might win over my heart just yet.
Facebook does not have 50 million developers. It has 50 million users. Active developers are an incredibly small minority within that community.
Or are you saying that Miss take-a-self-portrait-at-arms-length-on-her-cell-phone is a developer because she knows how to post a picture as her background?
Have you even checked the court records? The defense was not allowed to call up their expert witnessess, and this is a black woman in Minnesota, which means that racism could have played a big part of it with her "peers" as well. Frankly, that she has a leg to have the case thrown out is a pretty big indication that something smells funny.
Google operates by simply focusing on being the best at what they offer. But they do not force vendor lockin, nor threaten or crush the competition. Infact, several of their strategic moves almost seem to encourage competitors. While yes, they do offer you a one-stop-shop in many ways, but they are not the only ones either. Yahoo, Ask, and even Microsoft all stand there, and Google knows this. But rather than pulling a Microsoft, and bullying themselves into dominance, Google consistantly strives to better itself, to win out by simply being the best at what it is.

No, it runs SecureOS, which is listed as a BSD/OS.
They won't say which BSD, but who wants to bet OpenBSD or at least parts of OpenBSD have found their way into it?

Hmm... **texts the boss**
This sounds like someone forgot what they were there for, then gave up once they realized their issues.
It's ok to say "we messed up" and call a mulligan. Right guys?

I think in the long term it is the better design, I know I'd sooner run Itanium than Xeon, but it needs to get over the hump.
His first arguement is that the gPhone is like Itanium, with wide industry support. Well, that depends on a few things:
1) will it arrive years late?
2) will it perform as promised or be lackluster?
3) will it shoot google's existing product lineup in the foot?
I don't think these three will occur.
Well, let's take this down a bit:
I doubt they eat beef hot dogs from Costco

Upon this passage, it would mean that the government by the people and for the people had turned it's backs on the people.

The article is not clear, is the OS of the phone truely open source, or have they just opened up specifications for utilizing the OS?
Have you even checked the court records?
