1) Sidwell Friends is a merit based entry program, meaning you have to test well and perform well in school to get in. Public Schools take anybody. 2) Sidwell Friends has had the children of President Nixon, President Clinton, and President Obama, which tells me their staff can handle working with increased security needs the children of the first family require. 3) The study this article refers to handled two very different student bodies, which was kind of the point.
I don't see how anyone could make it through this protocol and be functional let alone normal. How would you have meaningful conversations with anyone if your sense of time is so skewed that it takes a week to say a single sentence. This seems a lot like solitary confinement.
Exactly, we built stuff to fly us through the air, go fast on the ground, and dive beneath the waves. We're going to encounter problems going into space (and staying there) and we will overcome them. People said the human body may not be cut out for flying but we do it all the time now.
While this is true, and the lack of air being a BIG clue that we are not 'cut out' for space, we are also not 'cut out' for moving at 60 MPH, hurdling through the air at a few hundred MPH, or enduring pressure that would turn us into a fine red paste. We comparatively routinely do these things with cars, planes, and submarines.
Of course it's more secure! The only way in left is the door!
Of course it's more secure! I also hear that DEATH is a great way to lose weight. Die, and the pounds just melt away!
Can we please have a serious suggestion other than changing your OS? This is like saying "That them thar wood house is no good. Better replace it all with brick."
A couple of things to keep in mind about bathrooms in Texas:
1) there's moisture there, both steam from showers/baths and from direct water sources - and Texas is in a deep drought
2) the fan housing has to go outside
3) lots and lots of tile makes ants easier to spot
I have had a Windows 6 phone and a Windows 7 phone. Windows 6 was basically a short screen version of Windows XP. One reason I had for sticking with Windows phones was their interoperability with their other products (such as MSSQL, IIS, Exchange, etc) and the other products previous versions. However, Windows 7 phones won't interact properly with certain older email servers at least without a patch to the phone.
And in my case, AT&T won't roll that patch out. In theory, this means I might have a beef with AT&T but I'd think that Microsoft would put better compatibility software from the beginning.
Next time, I'll probably go with an iPhone since I already know they work and it'll be easier on trying to track down accessories.
Here's the thing - I could spend another 6 hours troubleshooting the new 3rd party driver, or finding it, only to be in the same spot I'm at now. Or I could nip out to the local retailer, buy a card, slap it in, download and install drivers for it, and I know that'll work. The question is how much money is my time worth? Hence why the title of the post is 'Sometimes Yes You Do'.
I have a MB with a built in RealTek sound 'card'. I also run Windows XP 64, cause I'm crazy. The RealTek system for XP 64 is notoriously unstable. When I played Champions Online, the game would disable the sound because it could and would crash the program. Borderlands took it the other route - you can run the program, but you will always crash when you hit level 10, due to the special level 'ding' sound for level 10. Solution? Get a sound card, or a new OS.
This is about business - if you write a book, you generally can't force somebody to publish it. Nobody can prevent you from writing it.
My own personal guess is that there's two reasons for this move:
1) The cost of containing damage from activist and/or religious hackers is higher than the income brought in by the offending site.
2) The loss of income from muslim clients is greater than the income brought in by the offending site.
Let's be clear - you have a freedom of speech in the US. And a freedom of religion. But you can't make Putnam Books publish to get your message out there.
More than just free email limits size. Size limits are one of the variables you can set in Exchange 2003, and I believe the default maximum email size is 5MB. Given that most private organizations do not have unlimited email space, setting a limit on size is just as important as monitoring the size of the Information Store.
(Fair warning, I may be wrong about the specific default max email size for exchange 2k3.)
While the Lori Drew verdict was about legal responsiblity, there is a difference between legal and ethical responsiblity. Ethically, Lori Drew is responsible for a girl taking her own life. If somebody in that house didn't feel ethically responsible, they wouldn't have bothered covering it up.
We can do very little legally to protect our children from this kind of thing. That's just the way it is.
One issue brought up in the article is scientists don't know the value of the information they produce. The pieces of information created by scientists can't be divided up into portions of equal value because what is valuable to one scientist is going to be based upon their field of interest and research. The problem is that your "consumer audience" isn't a single market of half a million scientists, it's half a million markets that happen to be made up of scientists.
I fail to see what your quote from Bill Bonner of dailyreckoning.com has to do with the revision of Barack Obama's technology statement? I mean, c'mon, if you're going to spew crap, can't it at least be topical crap?
The biggest reason Gleemax failed was it replaced gold with Crap. Remember, Gleemax was the replacement for the two magazines Dragon and Dungeon. Dragon was a great captive audience where you could show new products, and then offer elaborative materials which would sell your original product. It was a supplemental games magazine that you could take with you while gaming, which was a big part of the allure - once a rule set is in print, the print can't be changed, while a forum can be changed at any time.
Dungeon provided additional adventures and settings for D&D. And both Dragon & Dungeon were "replaced" with Gleemax. This strikes me as somebody in management saying "Hey, if we get all these damn kids to do all the work on their 'social networking site', we won't have to pay them and can reap the rewards!"
Let us not forget your mileage may vary - down here in Texas, try that on some old lady and the local populace will probably give you a "personal attitude tune-up" before the police have a chance to show up. (Not to mention the possiblity the targetted vic will have a gun.)
However, your point is valid: the right to freedom of speech does not trump certain other rights, such as the right to safety - this is the "You can't yell FIRE in a crowded theater" issue. Not to mention there's slander, libel and harassment charges that do exist.
I'm trying to see how what this mother did isn't harrassment: she specifically targetted someone she knew was vulnerable and then proceded to perform non-violent behaviors designed to cause mental anguish. I think the equivalent on our IT end of things would be much more targetted on a single person - it's not some tool being a troll, it's a targetted against a single person. After all, she did go out of her way to create a new account, build rapport with the teen, and then strike.
As to the novel use of law, it's not the first time and won't be the last - which is why it's a good idea to pay attention to politics, so you can be informed.
This isn't news - Previously, certain models were off limits for the "downgrade" option - the Vostro for example. My guess is that the price covers either the development cost of XP drivers or the cost of installing different a different image or some different hardware.

What's the dumbest thing you've seen black hat hackers do?
I am shocked, SHOCKED, at the gambling that goes on in this establishment!

Too bad nobody can ever seem to agree on what the enlightened part actually is.

Actually yes. Wouldn't an equilibrium point of bias be better?
