They also found that with any modern cellphone (not in the older 800-900MHz range) and any (even somewhat) modern plane, with its comprehensive shielding and triple-redundant systems that there was _NO_ interference from the phone. There seems to be little evidence that modern cellphones interfere with any critical aviation systems...this article however offers a good reason to keep them banned on our airlines.
I hope these work, there's no pigeons, but some of
other birds and a couple with a squirrel. Let me know
how to proceed from here. I think there's a way to
verify that I took these yesterday...
That left me laughing so hard...only one of the pics ended up loading for me,
but when it did, there was the cute little squirrel!
Not to mention that just banning these images and making them illegal certainly isn't going to stop them...much like there is a thriving (real) child porn trade now (despite its illegallity), do we really think that by banning these images they will go away?
Of course not, then only the people who really want them will trade them illicitly...however the freedom of everyone else will have slipped away down that slippery slope in the name of protecting the children.
I recall reading several articles about how important the creation of these synthetic diamonds are going to be in the future,
not as jewelry but as conductive material for the next round of semiconductors...and therefore powering future generations of high
speed processors and electronics. The properties of diamonds lend themselves better in many respects than silicon in dealing with
high temperatures and harsh environments. Fascinating! Here are a couple links:
Although there is much to be said for putting computing power where it is needed, there is most certainly a need for security for machines and the data contained on them that necessitates if not an entire data center at least a secure area for most companies/institutions.
Not to mention the most-oft used lab animal, the rat. You don't hear many animal rights protestors getting all excited about all the rats being tested on for everything from psychological experiments to cosmetics.
I agree....The TSA can continue to add restrictions to what we can take on a plane until we aren't allowed anything but our clothes. People who want to bring down planes and kill others will always find away around these restrictions or will just use sheer numbers to sneak the banned things right under the screeners noses. There are thousands of screeners working across the country and all it takes is one person to not do their job correctly or just miss something and the system breaks down. We should be focusing our security efforts on the largest targets for keeping the most amount of people safe. That doesn't include banning liquids on board or strip searching old ladies for fingernail clippers. We need to realize that we won't stop everything bad from getting through and instead focus on better intelligence, better design (of planes, security screening, etc.) and more creative thinking. We need less knee-jerk reactions like what we saw yesterday...that just serves to create more panic and fear in the public. Without the ability to travel freely and without fear....the terrorists have won.
Here in Oregon we've adopted a vote by mail system that solves all of the problems of computer voting and empowers more people to vote. While someone will of course raise the point that these paper ballots are still counted by OCR machines(computers), there are certified auditors from all parties allowed to oversee the sorting and counting processes.
Now, vote by mail does introduce several of its own problems unique to mailing paper ballots and verifying signatures.... but I feel so much more confident knowing that my vote is still cast on a piece of paper that can be counted and recounted if there are any problems. I think that more states should give it some consideration over voting machines.
Alright, come on...a little reality check here. We have oodles of comments stemming from anecdotal beliefs that Mac users are generally less tech-saavy that other computer users. I know plenty of hard core coders, hackers and computer wizards who choose to use Macs over other platforms. Not only do you get a "pretty" GUI, but you have the flexibility of a UNIX OS which many computer geeks feel at home with.
There are plenty of idiots running Macs and plenty of idiots running windows. I think the general trolling about Mac users being generally less technical is pretty much total BS... there are users of all types on all OSs...for many different reasons.
It seems there are two ways to respond to this line of thinking. If Linux is always destined to be just a geek tinkerer's toy then that is fine...
any proprietary drivers should not be included...people can build all of their own drivers and software and everything else. If Linux is to be taken seriously as "another" OS that compares to windows and MacOS then it has to also take usability and performance into account.
The push lately has been for some (not all) Linux distros to appeal to people who might not have the skills or interest in modifying source code and compiling video drivers. I believe that the Linux community should still have a goal to appeal to these people too. Whether that means really pushing the video mfgs to open more code up or whether that means putting more effort, money, etc. into open source drivers doesn't really matter. But Linux should strive to appeal to everyone (not be everything to everyone) and to do that we need good graphics performance from all types of video cards. It doesn't seem to me that the philosophy behind Linux as an OS is at odds with support of some proprietary drivers...some folks can use them, others can avoid them at all costs!
I know what you are saying...but when the sudo p/w isn't cached (i.e. I haven't completed a sudo command recently) it also gives a little more time to think while I have to type my password again...wait a second, why do I need root privs here?? I find that if I'm jumping onto a server for a quick command that needs sudo, I'll either forget and type the command without sudo which will make me remember oh yes, I need sudo for this...better be careful....or I'll have that prompt for my p/w which will also remind me that I'm executing with root privs and better double check the command I just entered.
I think the company is overlooking the fact that your dog may not want to answer the phone. They may be in a movie, library or other quiet place or perhaps "occupied" with another dog. There is no mention of the vibrate feature that we humans have become so accustomed to..
Reading between the lines...it's clear that Google isn't much different from any other high-tech company. The reason they want to provide everything to their employees is to keep them there all day and night to toil for Google. Seems much like M$....they provide everything on campus...so why leave?? Oh and by the way, while you're here...might as well put in another few hours coding...
Bread and Circus....keep them fed and entertained and you can make them do anything!!
Hoo ha haaaaaaa!
Yea...my thoughts exactly. He seems to take a disgusted tone, like the fact that someone could do this...to him! And now all he has is their IP address and he can't get the ISP to just give him the person's name!
Ohhh...the agony!
If we really had freedom, then the name would have been provided to him outright by Wikipedia and he could have gone and had them...ermm......removed. That's some freedom for ya!

I read it as "lossy" journalism on Heise part.

you will find that a spam, junk or get rich quick scheme gets flagged quickly and removed.
The flagging feature is one of the best parts of Craigslist IMHO.
Doesn't seem likely...we wouldn't be seeing so many dupes!
