He was still an American when he was CEO of Intel. Shouldn't his duty to his country take priority over his duty to his employer?
Only if he knew the offshoring would be detrimental to the economy of the United States. And even if he did, what's a little treason between friends. Am I right?
Sounds like this will be a slow adoption if they are only setting it as the default browser on new computer systems and simply "encouraging" their installed base to use it.
True; they should do this the normal corporate way: disable IE and only reenable it for the whiners.
But computer science graduates don't go into IT. Thats a blue collar profession now. Installing windows and reloading printers.
Your definition of IT is very narrow. My guess is you're not in a computer field. I'm a CS grad working as a sysadmin, and while I do install Windows/OSX/Linux sometimes, there's a _lot_ of things that require well thought out planning before the "blue-collar" imaging-monkeys can do their work. And usually after they do their work...
Auditorium. There is no avatar, and I suppose you could say the music is "contained" art, but it's beautiful even when muted. And it's beauty comes from the game mechanics (glowy flying bits), not a 3D model or a 2D bitmap.
I keep hearing, even from liberals, that PBS 'leans a little to the left.' I'm not saying it doesn't, but I'm still curious what people are basing that on.
Personally, I think conservatives find the very idea of a publicly owned broadcast system communistic and repugnant.
Listen to Public Radio with your objective hat on (or pretend you're a conservative), and you'll see that commentators take off-hand jabs at socially or economically conservative politicians in the same way you just did. It would be fine if there was a point/counter-point banter, but the statements get glossed over as the bad jokes they are, with nary a "whoa, that's a broad generalization!"
I prefer the old hand-painted miniatures approach, ala the original first few Star Trek movies. Their special effects have aged well, but other early CGI has not.
I think one of the reasons that the original Tron still looks so good is because most of the effects are not CGI.
Same thing with Star Wars. Ever notice how the "Special Souped-up versions" (Jabba in A New Hope) now look dated compared to the originals? Pretty soon, episodes 1,2,3 will look old too.
No, he was 16; the age when lack of explosions, blood, or boobs meant any movie was "meh". My father was in his late thirties at the time and liked it. My brother and I were obsessed with it, but weren't allowed to buy the light-cycle toys.:(
The concept drawings make the "pilot" look like part of the frame. This would make the real pilot appear to be in the bitch seat, although the head would at least be higher than two feet off the ground.
The letters of the alphabet is something that is drummed into your head from an early age, and repeated countless times, I bet if I gave you a scrambled version you would have a very hard job to remember it.
But if I were a Russian spy being trained, you'd think that rote memorization of a series of long passwords would be incorporated into the training (probably with music, just like with kids).
And sentences using dictionary words are hardly secure.
Last I checked (yesterday), the English dictionary on unix systems contained more than 98,000 unique words with an average length of 9 characters. If you used these words as symbols, you would get NUMWORDS^98,000 possibilities, discounting punctuation, and assuming no grammar. Possibilities when viewing the passphrase as a character string are (NUMWORDS*AVERAGEWORDLENGTH)^CHARACTERSET, suitably reduced if the attacker knows it's a passphrase, but not enough to make it non-secure.
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz. If preschoolers can learn an arbitrary sequence of meaningless symbols totaling 26, then I think it's possible.
Plus, your sentence is longer than 26 characters and so is this one.
How exactly was I redundant above? GP said it couldn't be done, and I pointed out that almost every five year old in the U.S. does it. And a lot of 20-25 year olds re-learn it backwards.
Passphrases are not harder to brute force. In general if you have 26 random characters its hard to brute force.
If you don't follow correct grammar, you can make a secure passphrase that's easier to remember than 98jn339ejnT#T*j#fe8#wf#F.
Assume a character set of 256, that means with 8 random characters, you've got 8^256. 8 random characters is tough for some people to handle. With passphrases, if you allow only english, you've got a "character" set of `wc -l/usr/share/dict/words` (98569), so with 8 random words, you've got 8^98569 possibilities. Of course, to follow a sense of grammar (even bad), you reduce that down a lot, but it has a benefit of being long absolute-character-wise, and short virtual-character-wise... average english word length is apparently ~9; X=`wc -m/usr/share/dict/words |cut -f1 -d' '`; Y=`wc -l/usr/share/dict/words| cut -f1 -d' '`; echo `expr $X / $Y` and `expr $X % $Y`/$Y
so even a random 8 word passphrase might be longer than 72, thus it's potentially 72^256 when brute forced character-wise.

Which are the good ones, the X-topped or the K-topped?
The real answer: Both and neither.
At that specific time: the bad ones *happened* to use an X crease for the venting, and the good ones they replaced them with *happened* to use a K crease (some rare few were T crease). The crease wasn't the issue, it was just a cosmetic nicety to quickly determine whether a particular gx270 was bad in 2004-2005.
I ask because I have a few Dell 400sc machines sitting around looking busy and trying not to get replaced.
Unfortunately, my info won't help unless it's an Optiplex gx270 (or potentially a Precision 470 Workstation).
Cable originally started with "no ads" as the big selling point. After only a few years, the "no ads" was only on the "premium channels" for which you paid even more, while regular cable got more and more ads as the number of different channels kept increasing.
And the Premium channels got ads quickly enough too. Usually for their own content, then for content on sister channels, then to upgrade cable services, etc.

Have to agree. Since when is it considered illegal for me to give away my own content, if I chose to do so?
When your content shares X chords with ASCAP/RIAA content.
beta testing, google does it for a reason.
And they'll never stop beta testing anything. Ever. ;D

It's a perfectly good solution if you're headed downhill.
I just figure they did all their testing in california where AT&T dropping calls is as common as $4 coffees.
Shouldn't they cost more than $4 in Cali?
