This is nothing new. Ike's "Military Industrial Complex" has been getting the fruits of the NSA's labor since its inception.
Gotta keep ahead of those Russkies (or Chinese, or Germans, or...), ya' know.
These guys are amazing. Well done!
Working without gravity to help you is quite an amazing trick for Earth-based monkeys.
I am always greatly impressed by the training and skills of all these people who actually climb out of their tin can into open space.
More than anyone I think they fit the spirit of the 50s and 60s "astronaut" image.
Excelsior!
so many apps have ancillary modules that sit in the background, sucking up RAM and CPU cycles. when I find one of these I always ask myself if I really use it. IF not, it's gone! boom.
Constant updates are a real pain, too, but at least that can be turned off.
"Perhaps someday we—men and women alike—can all be treated like the grown-ups we theoretically are."
Men and women who spend enormous amounts of time living vicariously through a video screen.
Grown up? Not my any definition I know of.
Anyone who has followed Windows knows every other incarnation sucks. Win7 was (is) a very nice piece of work. Win8 is doomed. No one will buy another Windows until Win9 comes out.
May as well wrap your head in tinfoil. Big capacitors take big real estate that doesn't exist in cell phones. Take the battery out and the phone will be completely dead in a very short time. It's called physics... works a lot better than paranoia.
"A person is guilty of a class A misdemeanor if such person knowingly creates or assists in creating an image of the exterior of any residential dwelling in this state where such image is created by or with the assistance of a satellite, drone, or any device that is not supported by the ground."
So if I take a picture of a friend while in a boat on a lake, and I capture a house in the background, it constitutes a misdemeanor unless I have the permission of the house's owner?
Typical American Elitist crap. If you have enough money you don't wait in lines like the rest of us, you don't have to earn your place in society you can just buy it, you don't have any real merit to your life so you just buy your way into whatever you want. More of the 1% supporting the 1% and screw the rest of you.
I cannot understand why people are listening to a company who sends out untested updates that disconnect tens of thousands of home customers and then has to backtrack and cost other companies and people a lot of money to fix McAfee's broken software. These are the same people who crashed millions of their business customers' computers with another untested update. You really want to get in bed with such a poorly managed company?
we license drivers of cars on public roads so we can have a basic level of competance on the roads we all use and need. we demand cars are smogged and registered so we can all breathe and don't have unsafe clunkers on those same public roads. why isn't there a demand for a basic level of competance for the user of a system that is connected to our public Internet? why isn't there a test to ascertain if it is safe to connect a system to the public Internet? I clean malware-riddled systems for a living, and the worst offenders are the computer-illiterate users who will click on ANY link put in front of them. if we had some kind of mandatory public education and testing for these people BEFORE they connect to the public resource we now need, there would be a drop in malware prolifertion of an order so far unseen. at the risk of losing my current livelihood, i say "Trust but Verify".
bullshit. i see totally clean systems that use IE all the time. quit hatin' and try looking at facts. you really think Mozilla browsers somehow magically stop malware from entering a system? education is the biggest threat to malware, not browsers.
Really? McAfee researchers? This is the company that crashed millions of their business customers' systems with an untested update. As I write this there are 1000s of home McAfee customers who have lost Internet connectivity because of another untested update. These are the people you want to listen to when it comes to security? Oh Pulease!

NOT!

Sure. garbage collection. all good RTEs do it. makes a ton of sense to do it when the body can afford to spare the energy. do Vulcans sleep?
I'm with you! I started with FC3... yow!
Who drives the bus... and where does he and his family get to live?
The US Congress is useless for anything other than a waste of time and money.

automatic file versions (the ";n" after each filename) were a great boon to developers. I wish NTFS had picked up on that.

I use two Samsung SyncMaster 2443s. Great monitors. I highly recommend them.
Takes a while to learn, but once you get it it is entirely repeatable. Get a small nib size.
Yes

Harlan Ellison's "A Boy and His Dog" never seems to have been lauded, but I think it is one of the best stories around, specially for it's time.
