What's this "could" hit 50 square feet? I've already got less than that.
Everyone on my team, from the techs to team leads, managers, and directors, all have the same setup. A slightly bullet-shaped pod (the line down the middle zig-zags), about 7 feet wide by 5 feet deep (7 feet deep at the longest point, the center of the bullet).
The only thing that distinguishes the "higher" positions are additions of personal filing cabinet/shelf/closet combination units.
Yes, this is a call center design. It works fine, nonetheless.
I get sick days, personal well-being days, and vacation days.
Sick days are for legitimate illness, short-notice. PWB is for "I am in a mental state where I can't see my ass coming in to work and being productive", short-notice. Vacation days are scheduled in advance.
It works well. We're happy because we don't feel shackled to the desks, and the company's happy because it has predictability in who will be available, and both sides are happier because there's no falsehoods being perpetrated.
So the percentage of handheld gaming conducted on solely gaming device fell.
What this doesn't prove is that gamers are "abandoning" the DS and PSP.
It could just as likely mean that the pool of handheld devices that are game capable has exploded.
If you had 150M handheld gaming devices back when phones sucked for gaming, and now there's a billion total - with 200M being dedicated devices and 800M being smartphones that can game effectively, then yes - the percentage that's DS/PSP plummets, while the total number still climbs.
Without some actual numbers, I'm skeptical that it's wholesale abandonment. The growth of the pool is far more likely to me.
I don't think most folks are shocked at the remote wipe capability - they just expected that it would be confined to the exchange data only, not the MP3's, games, photos, etc.
The 999 system data would not be sufficiently anonymized and be too long for twitter's character limit. I would also prefer to know there's at least some separation between the E999 networks, and the general internet.
Rather than risking an automated filter, and since this is a single-day thing, it makes more sense to bruteforce it. If it was going to be a permanent fixture then I could see the value in going whole-hog and automating it.
That damned FBI warning, plus all the "nope, you can't skip these ads" crap, is half of the reason why I rip almost all my DVD's, stick them on the file/mediaserver, and then play them through my PS/3's media client functionality. Obviously, I _don't_ rip anything but the main movie track, no more having to sit through 8 freaking ads just so my kid can watch her Thomas movie.
And I'm becoming increasingly jaded at those who can't tell the important part is the "United States" bit, since Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Paraguay, Chile, etc are also in the Americas, and thus their people are technically "Americans", just the same way that people from France, Germany and Switzerland are "Europeans" since their countries are in Europe.
You have it backwards. He's saying that we need more people getting killed in motorcycle accidents, to ensure a supply of donor organs, until this new option is feasible.
I guess you've never heard of motorcycle riders referred to as "two wheeled organ donors".
I believe the Facebook issue is fairly different. In that case, it's not Facebook doing the geotagging, it's fancy new cameras (often built in to smartphones) that tag the image file itself with the location, as best as the camera can determine it at the time. Facebook then just makes that metadata easily available.
In this situation, it's the obvious problem of a peer-to-peer connection, namely that each peer knows the other's IP address, and from that you can start to narrow down a location, often fairly precisely.
No, the second article was pretty clear that the devices are being placed in-between the reader and the rest of the pump. It's in-line, recording every signal the card reader sends to the processing system, and prior to the point that it's all encrypted for transmission.
Unlike ATM skimming devices, which are attached to the exterior of a machine, over the card reader, the Shell skimming device was actually inside the terminal, wired between the card scanner and the computer board.
This is like the classic keyloggers, plugged in to the PC's keyboard socket, and then the keyboard plugged in to it, except you can't see it since everything's inside the pump.
Thanks for that, the article wasn't clear if it was X/hr for an app run by a given user in total, or X/hr for that app for a given person they're following.
It seems inefficient that TweetDeck is sending 10 different requests; can Twitter's API not handle a "tell me if anyone I'm following has updated" request, to allow 10 requests to be rolled in to one? Admittedly, that would put additional burden on the twitter servers to keep track of what "anyone I'm following" means.
Yes, but do you really want an all-in-one device hooked up to the long, usually unprotected wire out side the house?
By having a standalone little ADSL modem, it acts as a sacrificial device to any power jolts coming in over the phone line. It'll cook, and I get that replaced, but my AP keeps running. Sure, it could also chain through to the router/AP, but it's less likely.
True, this means more wallwarts and power drain, but it's a personal choice. If you're in a crappy power area this can be a real concern. I had a 2wire all-in-one and corrosion on one of the power wires at the pole, causing voltage sags on half my circuits, and the 2wire went nuts, constantly. A standalone ADSL, miniswitch, and AP managed to handle the power problems gracefully, until I managed to finally get the power company to fix the damned problem by tightening the nut on the power pole, on the fourth visit.:P
And which works great for IPTV solutions. The end points subscribe to a channel by setting their IP, and then the upstream router decides if it needs to do the same, heading further back until it hits another router that's got the channel already subscribed.
Similar for when you leave the channel. Once the router decides it's not got any clients for a given channel, it'll unsubscribe from it and those will bubble back.
That's where you talk to the corporate health and wellness people. Remind them of the recommendations that everyone get up and walk around periodically during the day, and the omnipresence of personal inkjets means people aren't walking.
Suddenly, all those printers will get yanked by the health fascists. Use evil for good.;)

Or they could just have the two hooks not part of the same piece of metal.
Get a sufficient air gap, and there's no circuit.
I believe he's referring to the topic tags, under the story.
Right now they state: military politics wmd technology defense story

Probably because the mechanical typewriters are plentifully available, but an ASR-33 in working order is a bit harder to find.
You mean millions of iterations of random chance have selected the most efficient pollen-gatherers.
I would hope that they are.

Some of the calls on Ventrilo Harassment were taking place on "corporate vents", which despite that were for some reason wide open.
Thanks. Now, what to do when faced by...
Based on your corporate access policies, access to this web site ( http://www.techeye.net.nyud.net/business/how-and-why-telephones-are-going-to-get-a-whole-lot-better ) has been blocked because the web category "Proxies & Translators" is not allowed.

Farking geography, how does it work?

That's one ADDITIONAL call in 100, compared to the 3GS.
As in, if the 3GS drops four, the Iphone4 drops five.
That's a very good question, I'll have to experiment.

Sadly, for a lot of the targets, that picture was probably all the social engineering that was needed.

...and by "congratulations", I mean a nice, hard punch in the crotch.
What in the hell were they thinking? EMAIL IS NOT A FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL, DAMMIT.

Very elegant, imo.
And then carry around a crowbar, just like Gordon Freeman. It's the universal key!
