Cities are introducing bike share stands, where people rent bikes by the hour. A technology like this could broaden the appeal and market for them.
If they make it compatible with bicycles that fold into a car trunk, it could reduce drunken driving. People who find themselves too drunk to drive could rent drivers to take them home. These drivers would arrive in a folding electric bike, fold their bike and put it in the trunk, take the sensible drunk home and return on the electrified bike. They could do it in a regular bike too, but with some electric assist more people would be interested.
Typically these personal injury lawyers work on a cut on the settlement. Now that the lawyer has won the settlement, but it was yanked from him due to the stupidity of the daughter, do they still owe the lawyer his cut? Would the lawyer now sue the daughter for causing him financial loss?
Hope they give they make large number of these sensors and give them to Zen Buddhists. They seem to be doing some deep research on forests, trees, and making sound when there is no one to hear it.
You still need power to act on the recognized gestures. But to output a small set of states it does not consume power and uses ambient energy. Looks like they recognize some four or five gestures. Hand coming in, hand going out, fist. Mixing them temporally, they may be able to get some 8 different states. It can lead to always on sensors, but even to act on the recognized sensors you need an always on actively powered (not ambiently powered) system.
No, the GP is not talking about upgrades at all. He (or she) is saying think in terms of total repayment, not percentage, not yearly payments, not monthly payments. That point is valid whatever the size of home you want to buy or upgrade.
It can't be discharged by any bankruptcy proceedings. You are hooked for life once you take a loan in this form. We abolished debtors prisons sometime around 1800s, then indentured labor then fought a civil war to end slavery. Then created a debt that can survive even bankruptcy chaining the earnings of someone for life!
Is it really a good idea to contact these law enforcement agencies directly, via a cold call? These agents come with varying background and knowledge about various spheres of life. You can't expect all FBI agents to be well versed in cyber crime etc. And most of them deal with law breakers most of the time. After spending decades in that mode, they would be suspicious of everything. Yes, most criminals would not contact the cops voluntarily. But many mentally unstable people would, so would people with political axes to grind looking to find some patsy to create a media story. So cops would be quite suspicious of people, even if they voluntarily call them. So even if I stumble on some serious security hole, I am not sure I would directly call the cops.
But there will be access logs and ip addresses saved in all kinds of places that will have evidence that I had stumbled on to that security hole. If I try to cover my tracks that would be even more trouble for me.
I don't know what the right thing to do would be. May be I should spring for a lawyer, document everything with my lawyer and use the lawyer to contact the agencies.
Is there a recommended way by FBI or Secret Service where one can go, establish the non-criminal bona-fide of oneself and have an intelligent conversation with someone and point out such security flaws? It is in the interest of FBI to maintain such a unit.
Thanks. It is not called Masters but it is called Originals. I found it. Looks like it is origanized by the year and the folder names are based on some sort of user input at the time of import from camera.
Thanks
I rummaged around the file system. I did not find/Masters folder in my $home. There is no/Master folder in the root. I just checked. I know my way around the file system, enough to discover a clever way to keep your AVCHD folders any way you liked them and mounting them as fresh camera repository to their video editor using symbolic links. (Search for symbolic link, avchd in the same 140mandak262jamuna handle.) I know I can take anything out any way I want to. But it was not easy, not was not intuitive. I was probably expecting more and it needed a lot of work.
My biggest beef was it was converting all my videos to quicktime. And it id not support mpg files directly. It wanted me to buy some software for jpg support. After shelling out 1300$ I hated being nickel and dimed for stupid mpg2 support. At that point I lost interest and just gave the machine to my kid. It still works it is on the next desk. But I touch it rarely. When I got it fresh, I did lots of stuff with ffmpg, scripting it to reencode some videos etc. I had an external hard disk that failed and after that there were so many dead links it was a pain to use iPhoto. I was not willing to spend the time to learn enough to clean it up.
Unless you are careful and know your way around unix basics, Apple will trap you into their walled garden. They have their own video format, audio format, image format, even ascii files have a different line ending.
No it is not good enough. Commercial aircraft is flown by people with constant training, check lists, protocols, under the guidance of air traffic control. They are supposed to be not drunk, supposed to be well rested. Cars? driven by everyone from pimply teens giggling and texting while driving all the way up to 90 year old grandma who only has a vague nebulous feedback from her right foot when she is on arthritis medication.
They both believe in vendor lock. When I got my iMac it converted my photos from my camera to some iPhoto library from which it was quite difficult to take it out in simple jog files. For the two years I used iMac my videos and photos were all so locked up I actually lost interest and reduced my shutter bug instincts a lot.
Dig a hole adjacent to the powerplant, about 1 km deep.
Build an enclosure covering both the top of the hole and the power plant.
Set off series of small explosives to reduce the power plant to small sized rubble. The enclosure should be able to contain the debris and be airtight. They could spray gasoline on the debris and burn them repeatedly to weaken the structures before setting off these small explosives. The explosives will be set using remote controlled vehicles.
User remote controlled bulldozers to push the rubble into the hole
Back fill the hole with the tilings.
Cover it with a concrete slab some 30 meters thick.
It would too difficult to erase it in an emergency. Better criminals would use some kind of encryption layer so that the data can not be decrypted. And a special "unlock" code, which they will reveal to the cops after putting enough of a show, that will actually erase everything.
It is a good thing you and I are not criminals. The cops would be so totally outsmarted.
We should figure out exactly how the law enforcement traced these phones and understand it. Then we should employ people of the caliber of Bill Nye or Neil Degraase Tyson to explain the complexities in a language the dim witted drug pushers would understand. We should make such dragnets and arrests of drug kingpins should never ever happen again. Because FREEDOM!
Microsoft says "The vulnerability exists in the way that Internet Explorer accesses an object in memory that has been deleted or has not been properly allocated".
Clearly the wild pointer read error is in IE not in the server. They need to hack the server to post the exploit code in their server. But they could also create the same vulnerability in a site owned by them. No need to hack. But it is more difficult to lure visitors to the newly created malware site. That is why they need to hack a well visited site to upload the hack. But all visitors to that site using Chrome and Firefox and other versions of IE are not affected. Fault lies solely on these versions of IE
The hackers have to lure you into visiting the compromised website. How difficult is that? Once you visit that site using IE, it corrupts the memory. Then it takes advantage of a wild pointer read error in IE to get remote execution ability.
Of course Secunia will count this is as "one bug", after Microsoft agrees it is a bug. On the other hand, it will look at bugzilla of Firefox, and every bug report by everyone will be counted towards the total bug count on Firefox. Microsoft will continue to insist its browser has fewer bugs than Firefox. Gartner will issue a TCO report based on these numbers. And everyone will be scratching their head, why IE market share continues to fall when all these numbers say IE is the safest browser in the world.
Even better would be, GEMA has sued youtube in a German court. That court has ordered us to say, "videos are not available due to a lack of a licensing agreement between YouTube and GEMA"

But still, this is a first person account of an earlier town hall meeting:

I think he is fighting for the title for the "Biggest Corporate Jerk". Apparently he showed up for the town hall meeting. Was treated like royalty and was allowed to talk for far longer than the 3 minutes given to mere ordinary citizens of the town. And most of the others spoke about the loss of property values and the damage caused to air and water of the town etc. This jerk mostly talked about how much money he had spent in building his private deck off his home, how he would like to invite guests and how they all would be affected by the hideous water tower spoiling their view while they were enjoying whatever guests to private deck of billionaires enjoy. I am sure it is not WD-40 flavored water or kerosene infused tea or Motor-oil mojitos.
Still he can't beat "distressed babies" CEO of AOL.
