on a flight from DFW to LAX, I was recently asked by the American in the seat next to me 'where New Zealand got it's heritage - because, you know, Australia was a criminal colony'.... my answer: oh, dont mess with New Zealand...
Australia rounded up its worst criminals and sent them there...
google invented nothing. changed nothing. what are you going on about?
altavista was one of the first search engines. predated google by years and years. (in fact google hired brian reid, one of the altavista architects (iirc) and then fired him later when his stock was about to vest.....do no evil. yeah right.
google channged nothing at all about 'the internet'. they are simply yet another search engine and mail service (etc etc). big deal.
Who said anything about search. Google changed the internet landscape through it's advertising model. It revolutionized internet advertising - proven through their 53% market share. That is a big deal.
Too many people think Google is a search company. they do provide search, but all their revenue is all advertising.
If you're relying on anti-virus then you're doing it wrong. That is what I tell people - as politely as possible.
Anti-virus is the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff. No-script and good e-mail habits are the fence at the top of that same cliff. Everything else is a ledge on the way the bottom.
The advice I give to my friends is as follows:
Use Gmail. Good spam filtering and good virus checking. Plus, using the web interface you're reducing the risk of your email client as a target. Using pop etc, the payload is on your computer. Using gmail via web interface you're leaving any payload on their server. Dont open attachments that you dont know who its from. If you know the sender, e-mail them and ask. If not, then mark it as spam.
Firefox with noscript (and ad-block plus). The key is to show them how to use noscript effectively - it takes 2 minutes. When you're visiting sites you trust (such as your bank, e-mail provider and utilities) you whitelist them using the icon in the bottom right of your browser. You only ever have to do this once. - chose the bold selection (for the domain you're on) and allow that.
Never never never allow scripting on a site that you casually browse that you dont trust. If the site doesn't work without scripting then it's not worth it. These rules apply double when you're visiting porn sites etc. Never allow scripting. never. never. never. (if you want to look at the pics in a slideshow then use autoslideshow).
Then use any of the free AV's oulined above. - as the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff. If you get a positive, then you need to take a good look at what you're doing - because you're doing it wrong.

Obviously, you actually never fly first class. Steak knives have been replaced by plastic knives.
You're probably limiting your statement to 'first class' internal USA travel.
I home from the US in March Qantas Business, then back to and from the US in May/June this year on Air New Zealand (International) Business Class. They all served with stainless steel cutlery.
Seems British Airlines have been using steel cutlery since 2005
Which, really, is why this crisis is such a disaster, especially for cleantech. Innovative cleantech companies are generally high risk, high reward. Right now, the market can only tolerate low risk.
Exactly the way Cheney and his oil company cronies want to keep it.
I wonder if it's illegal now to just forget. "I'd love to help you officer, but I guess I just forgot it!"
IIRC, that's been the case since the RIPA was first proposed. If the police come knocking and say "Give us the key", the burden of proof is on you to be able to show that you can't. (How on Earth you're meant to prove that you can't give them something like that is your problem).
Failure to give them the key can lead to 3 years in prison. There was also talk of a proposal whereby if you discuss the order to hand over the key with anyone, you can get 5 years in prison.
(All of this is based on several-year-old memories from articles in The Register, YMMV, IANAL, OMGWTFBBQ).
I'd just say the password is "the name of the second gunman on the grassy knoll". When the agent instantly types, you know there was one.
oh, that's right. It's actually the name of the town where Elvis is under witness protection...
When I get a bad Cheesburger, I don't blame the Server, I dont blame the Cook, I don't blame the store manager. No I blame Ronald. He is the figurehead that represents everthing about McDonalds so he is to blame. Also, when I get nice tasty fresh fries, he gets my high-five.
When the Government is out of control, the President is accountable. Just like Ronald.
I think it's simple as how many people are interested in watching, the movie, tv-series, sporting event or the math battle(?). And how much people are willing to pay, simple as that.
If nobody is willing to watch or pay for it then the athletes and performers would not receive that huge paycheck.
We have no choice but to pay for it. I'm sure if we payed royalties on equations that we use day to day (oh, did you just divide your table bill?), you'd see a lot more interest in math.....
why are so many American dumb enough to think that the government magically finds money and that the hundreds of billions or even trillions a year needed for "free" health care won't be paid for with tax dollars?
Of course it will be paid for with tax dollars. But it should also be cheaper that health insurance from a 'for profit' company. (OK,the government can be wasteful, so there'd be a comparison of how much government wastage vs corporate profit.)
One of the larger benefits comes from it being in the Governments 'best interest' to have healthy citizens. So you'd probably see more Federal money to the FDA etc, to provide more scrutiny on things like HFCS, and GM crops. You'd probably see school curriculum altered to promote health and fitness too.
Also, if you want to persuade the GOP camp, just tell them it will provide stronger, fitter, healthier soldiers!

What if the key is your fingerprint over the scanner? are they going to give you physical access to the machine?
Left thumb = open files
Right thumb = runs script that overwrites encrypted blob with random data 5 times while appearing to unlock....
Exactly. The box is there for a reason. EMI is one of them.
The other reason for the box, is to keep the monkeys I work with from getting out of control.
Bush is like Ronald McDonald.

Chemistry?? I think you mean Physics. I can hide from your stamp collecting at the center of a black hole, if need be.
I think you mean mathematics.
you think that is a coincidence,
it is the combination to my luggage!

Lesser civilized, also known as third-world nations would have taken to the streets for such outright bullshit.

No need for the disclaimer. I have been to Australia dozens of times... and that is exactly how they talk.
And Aussies have been known to throw a few "roos" (kangaroo) on the barbie...
But what about the plastic cock?
Perhaps these foreign owned companies could install the Chinese firewall, then inside that install a dedicated VPN back to their HQ for their guests.

yeah, cannot really. the Company phone is a 'pool' phone. Meaning when I'm on holiday I pass it to whoever covers for me. Its not really mine...
