I remember them starting this years ago in Japan. I seen to recall a article on it where they went in and crunched the numbers, finding that with a system like this elevator users saved an average of 35 seconds per trip in a typical 30 story building.
This is probably a question of licensing though. My library does the same but it generally gets 10-15 copies of every ebook it puts on the system, so it's closer of an analogue to the physicial book model. At the end of the day, even libraries are beholden to pay the publishers.
Actually, yeah.. Winsus can be extended for third party apps. And it's trivial to point your Windows update at a different update server. That said, only corporate entities and bored hyper-boxers really do that kinda stuff...
Indeed, no one seems to be able to calculate this. When they first tried it came to sometime in 2013. Then it got moved to 2012 for about 15 years. Then for five it was 2013 again; but no one seemed to pay attention to that five years. Then as you said, they recalculated and found it to be off by 4,000.
I strongly get the feeling that the people who work on this to make these publication tend to ignore most of the work before them and just fail to do any sanity checks with any developments on the subject since the late eighties...
Too bad I can't use this to keep myself out of the shared account. I'd rather not have to deal with it as I trust my wife. (Un)Fortunately, our bank allows shared banking accounts to be shared by approved user accounts. Imagine that.
In addition, to all the other posts, I have to wonder if the Chinese are using a sound limit. IIRC, the Shinkansen has it's speed governed so that the sound is limited to something like 78 db in the areas surrounding the tracks. This seems to be somewhere between the noise of vacuum cleaner at 1m and a busy roadway at 5 m. Somehow, I have my doubts that the Chinese authorities will have the same concern about auditory health of those people directly affected by this new train.
I dunno about 'not that long ago.' I distinctly remember using it in my last job and that had to be sometime in '07? I'm sure I quit that job in December of '07.
As a stopgap measure you could setup your FF to auto-export bookmarks to an html file and build a script to periodically update it to a personal webspace?
Generally, I view the software firewall as adding a final all around security strategy to the protection afforded by your hardware firewall, but there's a catch. Hardware firewall is there for prevention and mostly to block "bad stuff " from coming in and occasionally from going out. The software firewall is more of an alert system. Generally, I find it more useful for being alerted to opening up potential attack vectors than anything. If you run a program that opens up some ports you are alerted to it and it makes you think (assuming you have the background and proper information) on whether or not you really want that port opened. Additionally, it might alert you earlier if you've managed to actually catch "bad stuff" and tell you it's time to format.
All that said, it means that for the average user it's useless. For them it would need to be run in transparent mode with all suspicious actions sent to someone that can actually interpret them.
That said, if you are on a foreign network, something is better than nothing. Frankly, in the case of foreign networks, I try to always make use of a small hardware firewall/router/wifi AP that I keep in my laptop case as my primary treat the software firewall as an alerter/backup.
You made it to the third page? The article lost me when they tried to get advice from effective team leads on someone from TCS. It would be so funny if I didn't have such sad vivid memories of the ineffective team leadership displayed every time a Morgan Stanley employee cuckolded any of the management / leads.
I don't know about DVD's , but I remember various educational films in school doing this when LaserDisc came out and got paired with barcode scanners to scan jumps in a book that came with the LaserDisc.
Has to do with the services the airports provides. Almost all class A's and B's and most class C's in the US have enough money, staff, and area to provide for private terminals. There however, still a number that don't have some combination of these, (and then there are you lower level airports). Kansai Int'l... iirc is the one on the artificial island connected to Osaka. It's also sinking, btw. A question of room and mass is probably the reason they don't have private terminal services.
I'm not going to argue that he is or isn't endangering others, cause I don't think he's that stupid. But when did he buy the lease for the Kansai International Airport, so as to make the security corridor between the check-in/security area and the gate where his airplane was directed his property?
I guess it depends on the airport. Almost all Class A's and B's.. and most C's too. But beyond that, and yes private jets do occasionally land in smaller airports not so much. There are more than a handful of class C's in the US where this is not the case. That said he's prolly only few into a handful of US Class A airports, but anything international, I would have expected the same thing.
IIRC, generally the same place you check-in with the airport to let them know you are there. The plane still gets assigned a "gate" even if that gate is simply a virtual tarmac parking location, so it can be sent along with a gent on a luggage trolly.
Only if de Beers doesn't get mining rights. Else they will just store build a store house around it and keep diamonds at the artificial shortage we've come to view as the status quo.
They make it sound like they closed down all US production. Yes, CFL's are made overseas, but most of GE's factories in the US have been converted over to producing Fluorescent lamps (the tubes not the compact kinds) along side, or entirely in absence of incandescent lighting... well for nearly 2 decades. Frankly, I wasn't even aware that there was still a factory producing solely incandescent left, anywhere in the world, let alone in the US.
Several years ago I was working at a company hired to do a similar outside audit, who... was in turn of course hired to fix the situation.
I was handed a Nessus by the fellow who did the audit that pointed out several servers were missing critical windows patches in the audit the week before... and to please go out and patch them. Small problem when I arrived on site... servers were running Debian. So Nessus might be a great auditing tool, but any report is only as good as the people that ran the tool.
No, they added a charged + version that basically is a rewards program. Some 'free items,' some discounts, and some mildly enhanced services. Like auto-downloading updates instead of making you go out and download them yourself. Still doesn't install without intervention, and needs the psn+ account holder to stay logged in, so yeah, mostly just a rewards programs with discount and some 'free content.' Otherwise services are unchanged, and most, if not all, the free/discount content is still available to buy without a psn+ subscription albeit at an increased 'per unit' cost.

That is of course unless the fuel in question is a clean burning renewable resource.
