Vote for Santorum in the primaries. The Republicans will self destruct, for this one election cycle, under the burden of championing the hate for women and gays that Santorum dresses up as religious freedom. He is unelectable outside his base support group.
There is no economic incentive for them to build security into the app. Until we have mandatory fines for shit like this, it means nothing.
Mandatory fines? Issued by whom? We don't need some new governmental agency for this. The free market is already working. The consumers are in control. This story is now getting out and Southwest will be forced to do the right thing to quell the outrage that is starting to hit them.
This arms race of censorship and counter measures will have one definitive outcome: the best and the brightest of Iranian youth will find a way to emigrate because they don't want to live in an isolated theocracy. The resulting brain drain will set them back a century. This is what happens to governments driven by fear. Those in power in Iran fear their own people the most.
I pick my phone. I don't let my employer pick it for me but I do make them pay for it. I prefer employers that encourage this degree of adult decision making from their employees. I'm not sure if Halliburton would have me.
I'm not sure you should try to get out of the 'hacker' mindset. Iterative innovation and continuous integration is much more rewarding than any waterfall approach. Good luck and follow your heart.
I'm a hiring manager. If I see a resume that tells me the candidate went above and beyond their original job scope to create innovative solutions to old problems then I would definitely be interested. If the resume implies that they withheld good ideas and innovations because "It's not my problem" then I'd pass.
...how this lady chirps for one particular piece of equipment. Who paid her ?
I'm not suspicious at all. Occam's razor leads me to believe that she just likes it more than lugging around expensive single subject text books. Most of the time, things are really just that simple.
Spoken like someone who knows nothing about email systems.
I am guessing that there are strict restrictions on using external email to relay school information.
After all do you want your information on your childs health, disciplinary issues, grades, concerns over abuse, etc etc. to be stored on googles mail server? I sure as hell dont.
I trust my anonymity with Google more than with a B-grade IT worker at a school district. Imagine 2 possible scenarios:
1. Google does something with my email data i don't like.
2. A disgruntled IT worker at the school district sells my email data for drug money.
If I were a teacher in NYC, I would just go rogue and use my gmail address. It is very accessible from my new iPad and I can avoid Exchange hell from my school district's IT staff.
Must be a conspiracy set up by Amazon to get people to pay for vast amounts of compute time. Why now allow people to purchase copies of the data on hard disk or tape. 5 billion pages, at 100K each (high estimate perhaps) is 500 TB. If you zip it, you could probably get it down to 10 TB if you compress it with a good algorithm. Not "that much" if this is the kind of research you are interested in.
How much would that tape and tape drive or hard disk cost you to get started? How would that cost compare with the initial 750 hours of free compute time on EC2?
Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Thursday the detection of radioactive xenon at its stricken Fukushima Daiichi power plant, indicating recent nuclear fission, was not the result of a sustained nuclear chain reaction known as a criticality, as feared, but a case of "spontaneous" fission.
Do you believe any explanation from Tokyo Electric at this point? They have told enough lies about Fukushima that I now assume they are lying every time they open their mouths. Has this been verified by an independent 3rd party?
I was a proponent of expanding nuclear fission electricity generation until Fukushima. Fission is a zero-carbon system and cheap at massive scale. However, my enthusiasm also assumed that the industry was regulated and transparent enough to be safe. Clearly it is not. The bigger nail in the coffin for me, however, is that the first month or more of issues with Fukushima were clouded with lies from the utility that runs the plant and from the Japanese government itself. Why should we ever trust anything the utilities say about nuclear safety ever again? They don't have the moral integrity to handle the responsibility of running a safe nuclear fission industry.
I still hold out hope for the safe cold fusion dreams. It may not be a rational hope but it would be awesome.
Louisiana's Governor is the young GOP superstar, Bobby Jindal. Doesn't this move restrict personal freedoms in order to wring more taxes out of the populace? Is that the GOP way all of a sudden?
The small percentage of people who have found true success will tell you to use donations. For everyone for whom that didn't work, I have no idea. Perhaps paid support or extras?
How about if I withhold my software until you pay me? The free market will set the price. Is that OK?
A lot of the comments in this thread touch on the application of these batteries for electric cars. I'm curious, do most of you consider gas mileage when considering your next car? Are you thinking of going hybrid electric to get that gas mileage? My current gasoline car is 10 years old and I've started considering a replacement. I want significantly better mileage but I need the same size or slightly larger car because I have had my 3rd kid in those ten years. I also don't want any of my kids to feel like they need to join the military and invade the Middle East to keep my gas tank full.
If you think like me, then which car are you thinking of buying next?
Do you care about your fellow man who was born with less privilege than you? Then work hard to make stories like this into a reality so that every poor family can have the access to cheap energy to heat their homes and to power the car in their driveway.
That's a better story than lowering the standard of living for everyone. I'd rather use technology to raise everyone up, even if it is only to the modest levels that you and I take for granted.
... those of us building real networks and corporate infrastructure today will be re-hired at great expense to migrate company data AWAY from "the cloud" and back under corporate control.
Between now and then might be a little bit interesting.
Smash, you are a luddite. I am an old timer. I worked at IBM in the mid eighties. In those days, software engineers wore 3 piece suits to work. They talked about how, someday soon, this nonsense about C and C++ would come to an end when everyone remembered how great PL/1 was. Now you are one of those guys. They were wrong and you are wrong too.
The problem with alternative car fuels is that they're a solution to the wrong problem: the real issue is that it's not sustainable for every person on the planet to transport himself and two tons of metal an average distance of sixteen miles one-way as part of a daily commute.
sorry, I disagree. In your world utopia, only the rich would have access to personal transportation. That's not the world I want to live in. Personal transportation waiting for you on your driveway is personal freedom. Focusing on efficiency and compact storage of carbon free electrical power will make that all sustainable and a lot of people happy.
I'm a hiring manager. Many, many times I have hired people because they are smart, despite the fact that they have no experience in the particular programming language in use at my company. For the right people, learning a new language is easy.

So, it is not number one but well above the fold on Google's main competitor. Even if Google intervenes here, it will remain near the top.

#2 is far more likely.

This will make basic encrypted messaging tough to block by oppressive regimes like Iran and China. This is good for basic personal freedom.
