"The right hands" refers to the people that have the means to properly, and fairly distribute those supplies so that they provide the greatest possible benefit.
Not exactly a hard concept, but what the hell, sometimes it's fun to play controversial and try to twist words and meanings of others to make yourself look more "progressive".
I'm not arguing that it should be easy to do, or that their deadline was reasonable. I've worked with BIND before and fully acknowledge that it's a bitch and a half. What I'm asking about is why the original poster seems think that DNSSEC is a worthless product being pushed by a single company looking to make a buck.
I can certainly understand the unreasonable deadline complaint, but why exactly is DNSSEC "just some product being pushed by a shill company"? BIND implements DNSSEC, it's not like it's a proprietary piece of technology that is only offered by a single vendor.
Well presumably the launch system would be tested unmanned before the first manned flight, to the extent that was possible. I'm certainly no pilot, and am therefore unfortunetly terribly unqualified to actually fly a rocket. But if all they needed was a human "monkey payload", I'd jump for that in a heartbeat.
The reason why the DHS gets more attention here than other departments is because they are the Department of Homeland Security. The importance of irony when ridiculing the government is not to be overlooked.
Don't think that only NASA does design, and contractors just do manafacturing, the relationship is much more complex, with good engineers on both sides of the table. NASA does not have a monopoly on good engineers, or even a monopoly on engineers with a good track record.
Also, knock it off with the monospaced font. If people wanted to read things that way, they'd have configured their browsers that way. As it is, you just come off as an attention whore who feels the need to artificially attract attention to his posts.
Human looking dolls are pretty creepy too if you ask me. There is nothing about the uncanny valley that says it cannot be applied to dolls as well as robots.
Anyways, one man's "freaky as fuck" is another man's "normal, so this is all subjective.
I understand that you are being purposely dense in order to troll, but what the hell, I'll clarify...
There are three possible ways that he knows about this:
1) It has happened to him personally. 2) It has happened to someone that he knows, and he was told about it. 3) It has happened to someone further seperated from him, and he was told by people that were told...
If he is assumed to be in the industry where this is allegedly taking place, then options 1 and 2 become more likely than they otherwise may have been.
We are not provided with evidence, we are provided with allegations. The judgement call of deciding to belief them is an exercise left to the reader.
At the very least, forcing users to learn something new can hardly be considered a usability improvement. Trying to represent files on a computer in anything more than two dimensions is always going to fail because it messes up the presentation to information ratio.
3D file managers are like powerpoint presentations with lots of animations and noises. The concept sounds really cool, until you actually realize that you are not adding information, but rather distracting from it.
Obscure is relative. I've have had to deal with word documents maybe once or twice in the past two years. For me, that's enough to qualify for the label "obscure".
It was my understanding that information in general cannot exceed the speed of light. Is this not the case, or do FTL currents somehow not transmit data FTL?

You must be a big hit at the parties.

I can't imagine so. Then again, if you can't cook, get out of the kitchen...

Are you kidding me? I would pay to be first, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Pretty sure you have your subjects mixed up. "There is no such thing as a free lunch" is an expression in physics.
Clearly you did not look at the picture at the top of TFA. That thing is creepy as hell.

Yes.

Maybe he is (gasp!) in the industry in which this takes place? Rumors of this occuring are not exactly new.
Three words: Heated pressure suits.
Nonsense, he is making the choice to vote based on who he believes is not backed by the media industry.
Who are you to tell him how he should vote?
Why do you always have to drag up the same tired arguments Tanenbaum?
So what you are saying is I should always joyfully pay for newspapers, because I'll have to pay more for widgets otherwise.
Right. That sold me.
If the money isn't coming out of my wallet, then for all I care, it is free.
Thanks, that explains it well. I guess I got hung up by not understanding what the article meant by "currents".
Clearly you have already perfected this FTL information transmission and used it to get a firstpost with a topic uncanningly similar to mine. ;)
