You forget. This is the military we are talking about here. They want it to work. Redundancy is good. But it must be able to be destroyed in case of emergency. Batteries wouldn't be considered redundant enough because they may be drained.
Actually, you make a good point but volatile memory is considered just that: Volatile. Therefore it cannot be a trusted storage method. It may also be harder to protect against EMP..
It would still need to be bootable after a complete power outage. A flashROM might be a better option for this, but you still have problems of possible data fragment after "erasing."
It probably was. Encryption can be broken. Always. Doesn't matter how strong. The best protection is the other party not having access to it at all. I think that is the idea here.
Uhg, mayo and bananas... I always hated that combo. To each their own. I always wounders how honey was thought to go with chicken? Or for that matter, what crazy guy first fought bees off to get honey in the first place. THAT had to be painfull.
This just smacks of misunderstanding. In orer for GoDaddy to block the sites, they must have some sort of ownership/licensing over the Russian registrar. I don't know if they still do this, but I know they used to allow "reselling" of registrar services under your own name. This Russian registrar could have been one of those. This type of service would have come with certain TOS that may have been violated.
With 1399 domains being reported to have been blocked under this one registrar, and assuming that this is a "reseller" under GoDaddy, this would look like it may have been a case where a person/company created a registrar service for the express purpose of being able to register domain names without question to be able to spam easily.
I'm not saying this is the case, I'm just giving one possibilty of what the case may be as we don't know all the details. And I can't read russian, so those details elude me. Hey, I could be WAAAAAYYYY off base.
Ummm, yeah. Thats what I said. $10 is less than $20 dollars.
While it is not based on hard evidence or research;
$10 a week allowance
$200 a week wages
the one with wages (adult) may only have 10% of their wages to be expendable income
Therefore, a childs expendable income ($10) would generally be less than an adults expendable wages ($20).
Congrats you can do math and therefore grasp my point.
I don't understand why they would want to target an audience that they already have captured for the most part with AIM. A young audience's expendable income may have a larger percentage of expendability, but it's not like they make a lot of money.
math: 100% of $10 is less than 10% of $200
If they wanted to make a decent portal, they really should consider either making their audience choices a little larger or tergeting an audience with a better marketability. Sure kids will snap at ANY next best thing, but more mature consumers have the power to keep it going.
Personnaly I don't really know what where people live and the natural disasters they are prone to has to due with a videogame bill. As far as natural disasters go, just about everywhere has its own type of possible disaster to be dealt with. As far as this gaming bill goes, in my opinion, morality is not specifically the job of government to make rules on, but without moral rules, laws really wouldn't exist. In all honesty, murder is just a question of moral reasoning. If it weren't, every solder that came home from a war would need to be tried for every confirmed kill.
The real question comes down to what issues are morally objectable enough for the government to step in and create a law for it. I don't believe games should be one of these issues. Thats like saying people who put their elbows on the table should get a fine and possible jail time. As a parent, I firmly believe parents should step up, learn what the ESRB ratings stand for, research the games your children want, and enforce a restriction on your child to not get a game you do not believe they are mature enough to play. Jack Handey.....er Thompson should not be the one setting the rules for what I beleive my child is mature enough to play. Of course I do have the right to buy the game on behalf of my child, but then they may look at a 5 day waiting period for the purchase of a game. "Want to make sure you're not training for black ops, y'know," says the kindly Best Purchase guy as I fill out the ream of paperwork to buy the latest Splinter Shock game. Of course the problem here stems from people who don't want to be bothered by actually taking the time to be interested in and raise their child. Enough of this rant. Back to your regularly scheduled weather......
