Yeah, yeah, yeah 30% revenue, supply chain and channels of communication... Well it is not a serious problem. Easily solved by firing the CEO, pay for his/her golden parachute and then hiring another hot-shot CEO with a bigger parachute.
OK it was ribs not the foot. Still the point stands. Can we say for certain that all previous attempts failed because of faulty engineering, bad machines or machine failures? Is it possible there could have been a less celebrated but equally vainglorious test pilot who hid an injury or a temporary disability and crashed a perfectly good plane? Think how many months/years the technology would have been delayed or even abandoned if Chuck had crashed that plane instead of successfully landing it back again.
The spacecraft they were flying were all very fragile machines. Please don't imagine a tiny pocket camera. It is likely to be quite heavy. Further with chemicals and batteries etc, there are other hazards too. The mission they were undertaking was extremely dangerous and risky and nothing should have been done with deliberation, forethought and thorough review of every contingency. To randomly rip off pieces from spacecraft and smuggle it aboard jeopardizes the mission, the vehicle and the crew.
It is probably not as stupid as that test pilot with a broken foot hiding the fact from the Air Force in a glory seeking attempt to be the first to break the sound barrier. That is the best one can say about the incident.
All we need is a word to describe Indian Indians from Native Americans. You can lay the claim to the word Indian and fight the whole world if you want to. But all I want is a neutral, i.e. non derogatory, non confusing term to gain currency.
BTW you should look up how you ended up with the monicker Indian. It is named after the river Indus, which is the European pronunciation of the Desi name "Sindhu". So you should fight to be called Sindhi or Sindhian. And "S" becomes "H" in Persian compared to Sanskrit, like "V" becomes "B" in Bengali compared to Hindi. That is why your religion is called Hindu (Sindhu) by the non-Desis. You should also fight to restore the ancient name for your religion "sanadhana dharma". The language you call Hindi, should actually be called Sindhi because Hindi is the word Iranians assigned to your language. Fight for that too.
Mumabi done. Kokotta done. Bengalooru done. Chennai done. OK time to go on with more of your name restoration crusades.
Domain Names have all the rights of corporations which are people ?
Many of these abusive domains are very fleeting and transient designed to live for just a few hours. If you want due process, it has to come before the registration. So domain name registration would then follow guidelines similar to Trade Mark and other corporation registration rules. It would slow down the registration process a lot and impact the fees Verisign is currently collecting. The domain name abuse is getting to be very bad, and it could trigger legislation. Legislation by the congress critters who imagine internet to be a series of tubes would put onerous burdens in the registrants and the registrars. So it is heading it off at the pass.
The TV in India was in the firm grip of the Govt of India till about the early 1990s. All programming was decided by bureaucrats drawing a govt salary with absolutely no incentive to worry about how well the audience liked it. So most Desi[*] kids were protected from the knowledge about super heros. One of the things that happened along with liberalization of India was the first super hero TV serial named "Shaktiman" (loosely translated as powerful man), who flew into the rescue of all the helpless. Well, suddenly a few Desi kids jumped off their balconies hoping to be rescued by Shaktiman. Caused quite a stir and media flurry then. I think one of those kids landed on its head, got deranged and grew up to the Phoenix Jones.
[*] Desi is a better term than Indian. Thanks to Columbus' misnaming, native Americans are also called Indians. Desi is not a derogatory reference. Use if freely and get it into OED.
Buddy, send your resumes out and hope you get hired before the company goes under. It is very difficult to get a job if you are unemployed, even if it was through no fault of your own. No. It is no the norm. I have been with my company from almost its start up days. We always had source control and regression testing. Unit testing was spotty in the early days. We were on the bleeding edge of adopting new tech (C++ from the days it was a downloaded preprocessor for a C compiler). So it is not the norm even for start ups.
The researchers are totally off base here. These aren't self-portraits; they're writing. When transliterated into the Roman alphabet, they read "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"
Linguists have managed to translate that writing. It means, "This space has been intentionally left blank."
They seem to be thinking about emotional adjustments and age appropriateness and social skills too. The parents seem to be sensible, so I am sure this boy will make some lasting contribution to science and math, unlike other child prodigies and idiot savants who burn out or end up as curiosities.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We detected the unusual activity. But it was a measly 2 billion dollars. Our high and mighty CEO is not going to break his golf game for such a trivial thing. Heck, forget the CEO. The underling to the assistant deputy sub vice president would not break his Angry Birds practice to take a look at it. If you want these things to be attended to quickly you need to raise their pay enough to motivate them.
Thanks for parsing it buddy. Had not fully understood what the article was saying.
So only 31.3% of the exposures resulted in infections. And almost all the infections were due to lack of updating just five packages. So 70% of the time even un-updated machines/software did not result in infection. This casts a completely different light (and makes me look pretty dumb, make it just dumb, I'm not pretty).
Also the study divided flash player and pdf reader as two different packages. But lumped Java JRE update tool vulnerabilities with JRE array bounds violation. Cant figure that out.
Look, it is not like some private company made this and is planning for a huge release soon. Some government ministry got some 500 samples made and it is optimistically hoping the design could be manufactured for 35$. If it were really possible, the Chinese factories would have turned out millions of them already.
Salient point is that, fully updated and patched installs let 70% of the infections through.

I know you are not supposed to read the Fine Article, but not even the summary? The summary quotes the very article to mention the 31.x% statistic.
The article also says 99.8% of the infections happened due just five software. Cant understand that. On top of it, it splits Adobe into two pieces Flash player and Pdf reader. Thus the top prize goes to Java JRE. But there it clubs an array bounds violation with ActiveX vulnerability in the deployment tool. Looks like the article has the stench of a shill setting it up for Microsoft/Adobe to claim "Java has the top prize for being vector of malware".
According to the article, IE ranks fourth! Java JRE ranks first, Adobe Flash and Adobe Pdf reader takes the next two places. I think combining these two, Adobe is the king of the hill now in being the vector of disease. Not that it is any surprise.
Java JRE issue is confusing. If the problem is with Java and specs, it should be platform independent. So it is the Windows implementation that is at fault? I don't know.
Looks like the explanation from AT&T and/or Samsung is that, this works only within the time out period of the last unlock. That is you unlock a phone with PIN at time T. Its time out would be at T+timeout. Within this period if you force sleep by pressing the power button and press it again it will show the PIN screen. If this PIN screen times out before T+timeout, and the power button is pressed within T+timeout, then the pin screen is not shown.
As programmer I am guessing it would just toggle back and forth till T+timeout.
So once T+timeout has elapsed, the phone could not be unlocked without a PIN. So lost phones have quite a short window of vulnerability. If what they say is true. I don't have a AT&T Samsung phone to test. My T-mobile branded LG Titanium always demands a PIN on wake up.
It is merely not a question of can the student get the same or at least a substantial fraction of the education on-line compared to studying on campus. For a top university like Univ of Chicago, or Harvard, they do not want to flood the market with too many of their graduates, they do not want to dilute their brand name. So they make it very difficult to get admission, charge lots of money and pile on more hardships like, "must stay on campus", "must pay for unlimited meal plan" etc. At the end of the day you might get the same amount of education from an on line course, but that certificate is nowhere as valuable in the marketplace as the diploma from Harvard or Princeton. As long as the employers do not value on line degrees at the same level as regular on campus four year college degree, top colleges will charge top money and ask you to stay on campus and also pick up the trash and roll on a dirt floor after smearing yourself in olive oil.
But in the end it is moot. All that the top college degree buys you is the first job. After that your performance depends on lot more factors than the amount of education you managed to extract in on-line/on-campus college.
She does not have to go through this elaborate scheme to get campaign contributions. We are in the post Citizens United decision world. Any one can simply set up a private corporation, it can collect money from various people, send the money to the campaign, vote itself out of existence by the time disclosure window rolls around. At that point there is absolutely no way for any one trace where the money for the campaign came from.
Here is the kicker. Mitt Romney has already done it. At least once. Probably three times.
You don't get it do you? Ruining a company is not a one (wo)man job. It takes the whole village (idiots). The board is doing its part by grossly overpaying some chimp in suit. The chimp in suit does its part to ruin the company. The logical flaw is, the board that wants to ruin the company would not hire a cheaper chimp. You would have better chance if you said, "I will ruin the company for 100 million dollars" they will listen. If you ask for 1 billion dollars they will take you seriously. Ask for 10 billion, the job is yours.
The advent of the 10" 2560x1600 panel are upon us - put three of those together for a nice 30" display, and you're good to go. The more things are offloaded FROM the CPU, the more irrelevant CPU density and speed becomes.
To maintain the aspect ratio, you need nine 10"(diag) displays to make a 30"(diag) display.
Yes, Alistair MacLean. In all his novels the story will be in a first person narrative, and the protagonist will get tired and tired and tired and tired. And then he will get tired.
So Google will "extend" javascript with more capabilities for the supported browsers while other browsers would get a less than optimum solution. Because of the increasing market share of Chrome, all others would be forced to start supporting Dash and perpetually play catch up. If Microsoft did this, (and it has), we all would be shouting E, E & E, (and we have).
