Not only did they slap Facebook [on the back] for privacy violations, but also Google
They're getting another two years to put things in order before the first audit, then they get to do a half-year-screw-everyone, half-year-clean-up-the-mess between year-long audits.
If this is the only time you'll ever do it, a pen drive sounds good enough, although a CD image might be better since you could make a ton of them quickly.
Otherwise, piecing together a PXE solution would be a waste of time since you still have to plug the machines in, configure the BIOS for PXE, unlock the BIOS if you're planning on donating the machines (the bios steps can be done with automated utils if you're using HP or Dell machines).
If you can leave the machines where they are, and they're already unlocked and set to PXE boot, then making the PXE server only let their MACs attach would be the only big step. Then backup each machine to a folder based on its MAC.
Another option is to just take all the HDDs out, dump the machines, and backup/wipe at your leisure using a few computers with 6 drive cables each.
Paid for = jobs
free = no jobs
not really a hard concept
Actually, it is kinda hard. HTML and Apache are free and open, and yet they provided an explosion of jobs and practical use for businesses, mostly _because_ they're open.
randomness is not divine. How else would some being equal parts evil and good distribute his Will?
What divine being are you talking about? In the religions of Abraham's descendants, God is 100% good. And no, there isn't some 100% evil omnipotent counterpart either. Satan is described as potent, but not omnipotent. The concept of cosmic balance is a seductive one, because it fits our desire for symmetry, but don't assume that every religion uses it.
Yeah, new win7 installs still require something like four or five reboots before all of the updates are done. And it's old enough that manual offline updates via CD are a good idea before plugging in the network cable.
of course adam and eves kids had sex with each other (how else would mankind go on?)
There are two points of creation of humans in the Bible. Adam and Eve in the second chapter of Genesis (as a flashback, note the mention of what day it is...), which talks only about Eden, sort of a proving ground for everything that would be created after solid ground. Then, on the sixth day (first chapter), God creates humanity all over the Earth. Thus, Cain went to Nod and got a wife from these other humans. Seth and the rest of Adam's brood didn't have to be incestuous, and there's no direct mention that they were. Of course, Lot's daughters on the other hand... at least they can be slightly excused for having grown up in Sodom and they thought everyone else in the world was probably dead. Although admittedly they didn't do a lot of searching in the area before they got their dad drunk.
Now for a great cause like this you need to be prepared. Now when the cops come, they're probably gonna shoot the high-powered hoses at you. If you don't want them to knock you down the street, the best thing to do is tie yourselves to trees or poles.
That doesn't sound fun.
Oh, it's not. Especially if they have dogs. And then when they arrest you, make sure they know you're a juvenile. That way they can only keep you in jail till you're 21. And about jail, the good news is, they have a library so you can still go to school.
If we repeat what we did with searching for Steve Fossett's plane using Google Earth crossed with FoldIt and SETI@home we can develop a real-time picture of exactly what the 1% are doing, where, and when. That's a tremendous amount of intelligence we can leverage in many ways.
Don't you mean a static picture of where the 1%'s cars are at the time the Google Earth photos were taken, assuming they're even visible (wouldn't most 1%'s have access to shade for their expensive cars)? A little fun, but mostly useless.
That's nice. I will never meet or deal with the police officer who maced those protesters. I've already forgotten his name. When 90% of the population sees these things, they think "huh, sucks to be them. glad they're out there fighting the good fight and not me. What's for dinner?" When the sadists and psychopaths see them, they say to themselves "wow, they take the punishment and stay put for more."
As in email messages have a greater than 50% chance of containing a lie, or email messages seem to have more lies than texting or face-to-face conversation?
Watch the cartoon Boondocks some time on the cartoon network. The n word makes at least five appearances an episode. There's a whole episode revolving around its use, but that's the only time attention is drawn to it. Frankly, I've never heard anyone use the word so casually and so often.
Some people learn Computer Science away from the computer. They learn the theory, the logic, the reasoning, the methods and the actual science. Only then do they see how these relate to any given implementation of a computer or any given implementation of a language. These people are capable and a change in technology won't impact them in the slightest. Their skills will "just work" and their lingo will "just apply".
I usually want to agree with statements like this, until I remember my CS Prof who slid one of those business-card shaped CD-ROMs into a slot-loading CD drive. There needs to be a little practical application once in a while.
the positive side of religion is as a community center, a gathering places for people to come together and in that sense I support the idea. However I have often thought that libraries could be (and are) the same thing on a higher level, a community center laced with science, knowledge and education, (and fiction too) access for all and a saner, kinder place to gather.
Religious temples aren't usually places where people go to never interact with anyone other than an usher (I wouldn't consider a librarian to be anything else in most cases). Libraries, even at their most busy, are more like meditation gardens, where everyone tries to be quiet and pretend the other people aren't there. There's no community, no familial bonding or corporate learning. Certainly no communal worship.
And what a PC reason for selection of the (presence/lack) of the twitch gene. I wonder if a government might determine which soldiers are needed with which type of genes (twitch for infantry, no-twitch for snipers and UAV pilots), then tell the populace about a new program to win the Olympics in twenty years via genetic testing.
Children that don't have ACTN-three will be better suited for endurance sports like long distance running or swimming. Children that have a lot of it will be better suited for sports like football, rugby, wrestling, or hockey. Kids that have some ACTN-three will not be the fastest and not the slowest, they don't burn out the quickest and they don't last the longest. They are categorized as capable of playing just about any type of sport they like.
Better hope your kid is in the third group, otherwise it's a crap shoot as to whether they'll be forced into sports they don't like.
I'll accept that you consider the requirement onerous compared to possible safety gains, but the argument that sound is inconsequential for safety suggests that you actually want to punish pedestrian errors.
Absolutely not. There needs to be a balance between safety and regulation. The fact of the matter is that a pedestrian has absolutely no business being in the street unless he is crossing at a crosswalk, or entering his parked vehicle on the street side.
And a pedestrian has no business on the ledge of the Empire State Building's viewing platform. There are multiple barriers in place, and the weakest is common sense while the second weakest (in case common sense fails) is a series of warning signs. In case the signs fail, there is a physical fence in place, and it's a fence curved inward, to make it difficult to climb from the inside. When something is dangerous, you make it as obvious to as many senses as feasible. Making a silent car noisy makes sense. Gold carts are pretty noisy out on the fairway, but in the parking lot, I'm sure you'll agree that they're like ninjas.
To answer myself now that I've played a few hours of Skyward Sword: Skyward Sword is much easier to control. I remember playing Die by the Sword with a Microsoft Sidewinder, and even that controller had my weapon flailing about in random directions. While the Wii motion plus isn't perfect, it does a good enough job that I get immersed fairly well, and I'm impressed with the training areas. Flight is annoying because the Motion Plus seems to forget that it's pointing up, so the bird starts lazily flapping its wings and dropping like a rock unless I level out and point up routinely.
There's a "fruit ninja" (bamboo slice) mini-game too.:)

maybe this universe is maximizing something other than human happiness
Interesting point. It's hard to maximize human compassion if everyone is happy.

Here's an interesting take on the IT security industry and tools being sold and used by to monitor internet users.
Looks like we're using it where I work, i'm guessing we censored our company name so no one would grow suspicious.

But lightning would be a very unlikely murder weapon, thus the appeal.
Somehow, I don't think clouds have ten story tesla coils.

Compared to the amounts we've spent on the recent wars.
Show me an iPhone app that can replace a soldier, and maybe we'll get those costs down.
I thought it was Russian hackers that got that water pump in Illinois, not the Internet Water Army...

Touche. Although we of Culture20 are Contemplative, Friendly, and totally Wacky. It's easier to perform slapstick when you still have limbs.
