...which is rather scary. Used to work for US Customs many years ago (before it was ICE), and we were legally permitted to basically search *anything* entering the country (including personal mail, something that is a federal crime in most other instances) other than diplomatic mail and pouches. Nothing was off-limits: If it comes from overseas, ICE has the constitutional right (backed by many years of case law) to search it.
I'm not saying this is a good thing, but every international traveler should be aware of this. Whining about your constitutional rights being violated while standing in the "red" line at your port of entry will simply prolong the agony.
Pray tell, what exactly is a "forkable ad"? Strangely enough, I get no authoritative hits on "forkable ad" in any of the major search engines. Is this a made-up phrase, or something actually used in the advertising realm?
And the corollary: Prove you've been busy, but not efficiently busy.
I got laid off in 2001 from a software dev position. My co-workers on the same project escaped the ax. Why? Because I made the mistake of finishing my work (and finishing it well) before my co-workers. When it came time to tighten the belt, I was on the bench waiting for my next assignment...they were still languishing at wrapping up what they didn't finish. Guess who got RIF'd?
Should one wish to speed while using their radar detector, the safe thing is to only do so when there's at least a few cars visible ahead of you. That way, your detector will be set off when the officer uses their "instant-on" to clock the cars ahead of you.
Better yet: Save your money, and start your trip at the speed limit. Eventually, someone will pass you (whom I will euphemistically refer to as the "decoy"). Speed up, keep pace and a mile behind your decoy, you're set to go. (Why a mile? Some morons get indignant when they know others are filching off their radar detector coverage.) Oh, and check your rearview mirror once in a while for the cops that like to troll the roadways while exceeding the speed limit and not on an emergency call.
(You all that are snickering at the use of my term "filching" really need to get a life.)
Fit speed limiters and black box recorders on all cars. Drivers just can't be trusted to obey the law.
Already done. Most late-model vehicles have computers that can save the last X seconds of data (speed, throttle position, RPM, etc.), along with malfunction codes. So you claim your brakes went out? An insurance company gets a judge to seize your vehicle's computer, and guess what? No abnormal codes...guess those brakes were working fine in the last few seconds before you plowed into their client.
Speed limiters? Check. Maintenance records? Check. (500 miles beyond your 30,000-mile dealer check? Shame on you...vehicle probably shouldn't have been on the road.) ABS data? Check. GPS data? Check. (On-Star or Acura Satellite, anyone?)
So you see, your late-model vehicle is already likely to be fitted with a "black box" that can help others establish your proportion of guilt in the event of an accident.
The complaint is that Apple removed the old way applications flagged documents to open in themselves and does not seem to have provided any way for applications to do that using the new method. Rather, applications can tag documents, but the user must still go through and select the files by hand or using a non-obvious script to open in the application after each file is created.
Huh...I have to do that under 10.3.9. What, exactly, has changed?
...for a question that, had the poster not been so lazy, could have had answered with a quick Google search? The descent of Slashdot quickens, and after 13 years, I'm beginning to think that Slashdot has outlived its usefulness.
So, any pointers or links to a "how-to" guide for writing briefs? I own a small software consulting service, would love to participate, but really don't have the time to do extensive study on how to file my comments. Even a template would be OK, as I can easily modify one to suit my needs.
...but I wasn't about to change services just to get one. I have AT&T Wireless, and have been in the market for several years now for an upgrade. I've waited and waited for an Android phone to become available, but nothing ever came my way. So, I've settled for a Nokia E71x, which isn't my ideal phone, but it certainly beats the vaporware that is Android on AT&T Wireless.
Yes, but OpenNIC does not. When will people figure out that they are not beholden to their ISP for DNS services? It's really a no-brainer: If you don't like your ISP's policies in this regard, point your DNS settings to another resolver.
I think it's a shame that OpenDNS is doing this as well...I fondly remember the "good" days of everydns.net, before David U. went commercial on us.
Maybe a detector needs to be developed that will detect inattentive drivers? Why stop at alcohol and drugs? Maybe we need speed limiters on vehicles that restrict speeds to, say, 10 MPH?
I'm not saying that you don't have a valid point. But let's focus on the overall problems of poor traffic management at accident scenes, poorly designed roadways, etc. Is there a good reason why traffic is permitted at a standstill on a highway marked at 75 MPH without some sort of "incident response team" ensuring the safety of those who happen to be at the tail end?
In a previous life, I was an air traffic controller. For about a month, we had a moron that was transmitting on ATC frequencies, trying to give or override control instructions. Since he didn't have a good grasp of ATC phraseology, he was easy to ignore. But he did succeed in causing quite a bit of frequency interference: ATC still operates on AM, so there is no "capture" effect as with FM, where the strongest station overrides weaker stations. Simultaneous transmissions are garbled, so "Say again" becomes a very automatic response in those situations (hell, I still use that phrase today...old habits die hard).
My point here is that I do not see a reason why public transportation systems still rely on decades-old, non-encrypted technology. With ATC, it's a trivial matter of ordering a handheld on-line that is capable of transmitting on all ATC freqs. Agencies that continue to rely on antiquated systems deserve part of the blame.
I have Charter, and they do the same thing . I just use 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 as my primary DNS servers. Although, I can't really speak to their IPv6 capability.
OpenNIC offers IPv6 DNS resolution services on some of their servers.
OpenNIC offers free, open, and democratic domain name services. No redirects like your favorite ISP or OpenDNS (and to think these used to be the "good" guys back in the days of everydns.net). All ICANN domains, plus a good helping of alternate roots (including OpenNIC) as a bonus. The OpenNIC DNS network is slowly building, with servers around the world
Using your ISP's name servers is so passe. They'd like the masses to think that's the only choice.
I read that somewhere once...fact or fiction? If fact, then how can any light in visible wavelengths be "1000x" under the detection threshold of the human eye?
Then check out gopher...fast without lots of extra cruft. Here's a proxy dialup users can access. If you don't see what you're looking for, e-mail the maintainer and ask for it.
HTTP isn't the only game going...nor is it even the best game in town. Low bandwidth, high S/N ratio sites are out there. You just have to look for them.
Google Mail is, hands down, *the* slowest webapp that I deal with. I'm not talking about the copout "basic HTML" option. I run any number of browsers (FF, Opera, Safari), and *all* take tens of seconds to load and interact with Google Mail. I dream about sharp needles in the eye as I wait for Google Mail to do its...magic.
So the author of this book is a "web performance expert" who is now employed by Google. Instead of writing books, maybe said author should figure out what's wrong with the Google Mail interface?
So, how does somebody who works a minimum of 60 hours over 4 days, often adding another 12 another day, and sometimes working 7-10 days straight like this, stay in shape?
...you'll die of the deleterious effects of working far too many hours before your health is impacted by lack of exercise. Seriously, dude: You've got bigger things to worry about with a 72-hour workweek than when you're going to squeeze in a jog.
Separate namespaces, but the alt roots try to be good citizens. Most alt roots (including OpenNIC) mirror the ICANN root as well. Several years ago, ICANN railroaded.biz through, even though OpenNIC had clear "first dibs" on the TLD. I assume more of the same is coming down the road.

If everyone actually followed all the regulations we have nowadays, no one smaller than Boeing would ever get anything done.
There are good reasons why terrestrial cellular operations aren't permitted at altitude. You obviously haven't done your homework.
Any number of alternatives could have been used: A DF "fox", APRS setup, etc.

Lack of planning and taking into account driving conditions account for all my past close calls, especially unknown / unpredictable conditions.
There, fixed that for ya.
Cost of space cam? ~$150
Having FAA and FCC investigators show up at your dormroom? Priceless
Really, one would think MIT students would know better.
