If netflix loses, so do disabled people. Because netflix will simply remove the videos that dont have CC. Then nobody will see those movies. At least prviously disabled people could use transcribing software.
Dude they are talking about when the password hash list is compromised. How else can they get a value of 0.0000224 seconds for a 6 letter password? Even a network is not fast enough to enter thousands of password that quickly.

They could bomb the crap out of a city with 10 megatons of dynamite, nobody will give a crap. It'll be the second news item right after the important breaking news on who Snooki is dating.
Did anybody care when Dresden was bombed and tens of thousands of humans died? We don't hear anyone saying we mustn't have a repeat of Dresden. Noo.. it's we mustn't use nuclear weapons.
Mankind has a psychosis over radiation.. I'm telling you.. forget strategic nuke or midget nukes... the issue is that its nuclear. It's radioactive.
A nuclear weapon stockpile is no longer a deterrence to war. Conventional armies still are. If someone tries to invade the US, conventional weapons can stop it much better and easier than nukes can. The most powerful nuclear weapon ever made has only a 50% kill ratio in a 15 mile radius.. you cannot scale much higher easily because the earth's curvature will prevent the blast from reaching far.. and if you detonate it high in the sky the blast pressure reduces pi-squared with distance-- so 15 miles is a reasonable upper limit..and that's assuming it's in a city where the debris is a danger. OK, then what about using multiple nukes at the same time? It won't be wise... due to fallout..-> the radiation can gather into a cloud system and rain down on an allied location or worse if we are unlucky it may even get caught in a weather pattern that brings it here. When the US tested one of the first thermonuclear weapons in Bikini Atoll, Japanese fishermen on aboard the Daigo Fukuryu Maru died from the fallout that happened hours later.. they were 100 miles from the atoll. They got more radiation than if they were just 15 miles away. There is a map of the US and thyroid contamination due to fallout from the Nevada test sites at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:US_fallout_exposure.png You can see that Montana, which is a thousand miles from Nevada got most of the radioactive effect --- meanwhile people in Nevada itself and its neighbor California got much less radiation exposure.
If anyone anywhere uses a nuke, even a tiny tiny nuke and in self defense.. it will still GUARANTEE a new nuclear arms race. Rather than having a stockpile of nukes that can be compromised by a terrorist or psychopathic group of individuals -- it's better to have a very strong conventional army and a small well protected nuclear stockpile. Best of all deterrents though.. is diplomacy.. good foreign policy, being reasonable, not interfering except for extremes, and not bearing hatreds.
Uh they just have to build more towers and reduce the signal strength and the problem is solved. Notice how an apartment complex can have many wifi stations, or a cell phone works even in JFK airport or a football where many people are on the phone clustered together.
IF they reduce the signal strength, all they have to do is increase the number of cell phone towers and they can support more users. Cell phone technology automatically does this (it being the whole purpose of cell phones and all).. so they don't even need new types of cell phones or towers. Spectrum crunch is easily solved. Oh wait, it'll never work because it involves them spending money on infrastructure. Much easier to beg for spectrum and establish a monopoly.

Is this a joke? You can have unlimited capacity it all depends on power.
If the cell phone companies were willing to put up cell towers we wouldnt have this spectrum crunch. How else can cell phones work well in airports and places of high density, like football stadiums etc. Surely an airport like JFK has a lot of cell phone users yet I get decent coverage there. All they have to do is increase the number of towers will reducing the output signal strength. Cell phones were designed for that very purpose. They can adjust their output according to the signal strength needed to reach only the closest tower.
Anyone who is willing to clamp down harshly on basic human freedoms has to be either corrupt or criminally insane. Either way they oughta be either in jail or in the Arkham asylum.
The screen resolution sucks.. its 800 x 480.. people are not going to switch to it. They need to offer something beyond the typical phone.. they should have made it HD resolution.
They STILL have not sent a decent microscope.. you know of the kind any high school biology lab would have.. to Mars. And the next mission doesn't have one scheduled either. The previous mission (this decade) they did send a microscope but its magnification would not even have showed bacteria.. even tiny pollen type grains. And of course they didn't send any staining chemicals either.
Interesting... actually on the same vein.. why not make speed bumps out of non newtonian fluids? Just fill a cylindrical rubber (like a hose with a huge diameter) with the fluid.. people going slow will feel hardly any bump while speeders get the full effect?
Anyone can make up stuff and get themselves paranoid over it. It'll be funny, but then one of these paranoid schizophrenics might eventually get their finger on the nuke trigger. I dont see the point of making enemies with the whole world. I mean, do we really want a war with the Russians and Chinese? Unlike some other countries, they can actually fight back some. Is it worth losing a few million lives over.. still don't care?... well.. imagine those lives lost were you.. over what.. paranoia and economic issues? If you think the economy sucks now, let's not see how it performs during a nuclear war.
If you are a developer of applications (including web developers that have to test how their application looks in IE7), you'll see better where I'm coming from. Also, it isn't very secure. Its not very convenient for users either, because if they have upgraded from XP they are likely still on Office 2003 or something.
When are they going to put a mercy bullet in XP.. I go to major corporations and find that they are STILL on XP.. living off the Extended Support contracts. The IT departments apparently just cant justify moving to Windows 7 or Vista.

The stuff she mentions is easily removable, tradable, or hackable in comparison to making major modifications to DNA.
Isn't DNA better? changing DNA significantly is much harder, and just plain impossible with today's technology.

Just because you're not responsible doesn't mean its not the right thing to do.
Cheaper call centers benefit most taxpayers. Or do you want to pay more for customer service?
