I think the idea is more like a land base CIWS Phalanx system.
The CIWS has two radars that work together to engage targets. The first radar is the search radar, located inside the radome on the weapon control group (top of the white painted portion). The search subsystem provides bearing, range, velocity, heading, and altitude information of potential targets to the CIWS computer. This information is analyzed to determine whether the detected object should be engaged by the CIWS system. Once the computer identifies a valid target (see details below), the mount moves to face the target and then hands the target over to the track radar. The track radar is an "orange peel"-style radar that is more precise, but can only view a much smaller area. The track radar observes the target until the computer determines that the probability of a successful hit is maximized and then, depending on the operator conditions, the system will either fire automatically or will recommend fire to the operator. While firing, the system tracks outgoing rounds and 'walks' them onto the target.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalanx_CIWS
1.Put a system with the ablity to spot, identify,and track incoming mortars, rockets, etc. on a truck with some firepower to disable the incoming attack. 2. Park the truck at the edge of the area you want to protect. 3. Do the rest of your mission with much less concern about incoming artillery.
Counter point: The "Real" business is done via social networks not business networks. It's not what you know, but who you know. These kids are better at social networking, for some their lack of business skill will be irrelevent. They will just float from CEO job to CEO job.
To get the mass public to be diligent about keeping there computeres zombie free, we need both positive and negitive encouragement. Negative: First a notice, then a fine for "pollution/disruption" of a public space, the internet. Positive: a government site with all the free blockers/cleaners/tools you need to keep your computer malware free.
Both would be needed because the free tools are already out there, but they aren't being used by enough people because they don't care to expend the effort to be a good net citizen. On the other hand it would be wrong to fine people if you don't supply a way for them to correct their problem.
Northrop Grumman isn't technically a branch of the military, but they will do exactly as they are told by the high ranking brass or the right senator. When 97% of your business comes from one customer, and that customer is the US Military, you are a part of the US Military. I grew up close to the Newport News Shipyard, owned by Northrop Grumman. There were mostly civilians working there, but they worked closely with Navy personnelle, and it was the Navy that gave the orders. Why were Navy officers calling the shots for civilians? Because there is only one real customer for that shipyard, the US Navy. I don't think that's a bad thing at all, for that shipyard. But it spells tight government control for Scaled Composites. I have no doubt that Air Force brass have already been given the grand tour of the facilties.
if the majority feels as you do, that is the standard to which broadcast TV should adhere.
So will this tally be made by what people say they want, or will there be some kind of study done to see how many people swear in front of their own children all the fucking time.
Scaled has been for nearly the last decade pushing into areas where private firms have not been able to go in the past. Perhaps that is part of why they were bought out by the military. Maybe private firms are not welcome in the space industry. I'm not making accusations, but examining likely possiblities. If 50 years from now a private firm wanted to start it's own space station or extraterrestrial colony whose jurisdiction would it fall under? The whole worlds population is under one government or another, I think that is how politicians prefer things. A innovative, functioning private space firm would be too likely to jeopardize that in the future. Just look at what happened to Minerva http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Minerva They raised their own island from below sealevel and as soon as they announced the founding of a new country they were annexed by the nearest more powerful country (Tonga) This would be more difficult in space, so it is being headed off by not allowing private access to space.
Maybe just break some bones, and tatoo "I like to hit women" on his forehead. Because if being gentle with him and quietly hopeing he would improve, or calling the police actually helped, then you loved one wouldn't be abused. And before you get all worked up about brutality and violence, consider what would happen if you follow the rules and he get's sent to prison. Well in short, he goes to prison. That place is far more violent,brutal, and humiliating than any single beating could manage.
Yes the abuser has personal probelems and they need help to change, but they have to want to change. Getting a severe beating when they get out of line is a good motivation for change. Consider this: Most women are killed by men they know well and most killers of women start off as abusers. Who's life do you value more? Which person is your "loved one".
Yes every single one of those children, and most every child in the world is a result of fucking. Why again do we need to protect them from this knowledge? Aside from protecting the tender egos of the older men and women who are past thier sexual prime and hate to be reminded of that fact?
I thought it was established that the intial crash kills few people, but tends to fracture alot of legs, then everyone dies in the resulting fire because they can't get out. So maybe a better article would be "How to get out of a burning plane when you have two broken legs." Of course I get all my science from MythBusters:http://kwc.org/mythbusters/2005/06/myt hbusters_killer_brace_posit.html
Yeah, let those kids learn about unprotected ass-to-mouth sex. That'll keep the HIV rates down!
Let them learn about every kind of sex, stop treating sex and masturbation like freakish taboo abnoramalities and let them have open honest dialogue about sex. That will bring HIV rates down. Alot of guys in porns wear condoms. Nobody every got AIDS from masturbating. If (while they actually stay monogamous) they can close their eyes and fantasize about some porn starlet and that fulfills their natural male desire for a variety of partners, then that too will help control the spread of STDs. Maybe some men there will learn to appreciate women who have orgasims, and the practice of female circumcision will stop. All in all this will probably be a good thing.
The other possible take on it, that I can see, goes like this: If they put in $5 and got 50 attempts instead of 5, but they won $1000 on attempt #50, they owe the casio $45 (for the unpaid for attempts) not the full $1000 that they won. If gambling is entertainment, then they owe the price of that entertainment, which at that machine is $1 per attempt. Wheither or not they "won" during one of those attempts is completely beside the point.
So if I come fuck up your car, that's harmless fun. Right? A couple of hundred dollars of damage is no big deal as long as it's in fun... What if take you wallet in the name of fun? I don't do anything with you credit cards or ID, just burn the whole thing. But hey, it's just harmless fun. Every bully in every school yard uses the lie "I was just playing." and that is exactly what this kid is, a bully. He sees his advantage over others and exploits it for his own pleasure and bragging rights. We don't put those kids in jail, but older brothers of victims or sometimes victims themselves do beat the shit out them eventually. That sounds about right for this kid: John C. in Hartford Connecticut. Here's his picture:http://www.vitalsecurity.org/uploaded_imag es/bplanetgangsta-795477.jpg If any one reading this out there was effected by this malware, perhaps they should stop by his house and "express their appreciation" for this punk's contribution to society.
you really think the world would be functionally the same today if Gore had won in 2000 instead of Bush?
We might not have the Gitmo problem under Gore, but that's beside the point I was making, Al Gore is also from the ruling class.
Albert A. Gore, Jr. was born in Washington, D.C., to Albert Arnold Gore, Sr., a U.S. Representative (1939-1944, 1945-1953) and Senator (1953-1971) from Tennessee and Pauline LaFon Gore, one of the first women to graduate from Vanderbilt University Law School. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Gore
So even in that heated election, where it seemed that we had such very different candidates to choose from we still had aristocrat "A" vs aristocrat "B". Let's look at the next "choice" presented to us John Kerry:
Kerry is the second child of Richard John Kerry, a Foreign Service agent and an attorney for the Bureau of United Nations Affairs, and Rosemary Forbes Kerry, a World War II nurse and member of the wealthy Forbes family. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Kerry
We theoretically have a Republican party and a Democratic party, but they both take their cues and pull their members from Amercia ruling elite. For all of/.'s love of market forces let's look at who controls that:
In 2003, just 1% of all households -- those with after-tax incomes averaging $701,500 -- received 57.5% of all capital income, up from 40% in the early 1990s. On the other hand, the bottom 80% received only 12.6% of capital income, down by nearly half since 1983. http://sociology.ucsc.edu/whorulesamerica/power/we alth.html
Who is controlling corperations? The top 10% own 85% of the stock. So it should be obvious to everyone that this same small amount of the population would have the same level of control over the government. But everyone gets one vote you say. But who places our choices in front of us? If the choice is between aristocrat "A" and aristocrat "B", you still have and aristocrat in power when the "vote" is done. This non-choice shows itself in negitivity of the campaigns and the apathy of the voters. People have more interest in "American Idol" than the American government because they have more actual influence in the former.
I wonder if this be subject to Benford's Law? http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=210 Namely that the most common first digit will be one, two will be the next most common first digit, then three and so on. Apparently this happens with random numbers pulled from real life.
Want them spying on you like that, and "targeting" the advertising?
And how long will it be until someone writes a lovely bit of malware that fools this targeting into thinking that all of middle america loves gay/bi/curious news and youthful smoking ads, and the think of the children crowd will tear MS a goatse-sized new one.
I was nearly crucified when I suggested my boss to recode a piece of an application in C so it scales better than the current shitty VB COM version.
His reaction likely had little to do with code and alot to do with business. To managment's ears you said "This part is done, but I want to take time and money and re-do it really shiny." Now if craftsmanship meant anything in terms of the sales of software, you may have been listened to. But since the hardware companies are all too quick to step up and offer a new gizmo that will have you computer running "blazing fast", the consumer thinks that the sluggish performance is a hardware problem. The end result of all of this is the management of software companies sees little to no reason to take any more time or money than necessary to make a program clean and efficient.

That looks like a promising chapter. It the sample it talks about the obvious problems with vague, fuzzy patents. I think one strong possible answer for the software patent problem, is to only allow patents on an exact piece of code. it's like supplying a blueprint. A program that does the same thing as you patent, but doesn't share the same code is not covered by your patent.
Microsoft has claimed the problem is less than 5% of all units.
Maybe the big image problem MicroSoft is having as far as bugs and quality control is a matter of people expecting more from computers as they get ever more integrated in our lives. If 5% of a new model of HD-DVD player wouldn't eject the DVD, there would be a recall. When PCs were novelties it was OK for them to be "quirky". That time has passed. MicroSoft, and much of the software world in general, need to step up and produce goods with real craftsmanship, not patched together. Yes I know modern software is all terribly complex, but if it's too hard to do well, go into a different line of work.
When you get a vague one you think you have seen before, write down the ref.number. Then if you see it again you will know for certain. I would hope they are running many redundant checks and looking for concencus, but it does seem like they are testing you against yourself, probably with galaxies that don't have a strong concencus. Perhaps a good way to find the most talented of galaxy surveyers.
In WoW this might be the case, but SecondLife properties have real world value, paid for with Linden Dollars which can be exchanged for American dollars.
Linden Lab has long maintained that virtual "property" owned by its residents in Second Life belongs to the players. Therefore, things like virtual clothing, buildings, and land all legitimately belong to the residents who created or purchased them, and the burgeoning trade of such is legitimate. Linden Lab sells "land" to residents directly--which translates in real life to server space for the land and things that are built on it--and does so through online auctions. http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070603-seco nd-life-land-dispute-moves-offline-to-federal-cour troom.html
This is taken from an article about a dispute over virtual land, that is being settled in real life Federal court. This is no different than people protecting propety values by passing ordinaces against "eyesores" a common enough occurance in small wealthy towns.
