I use both of my hands to hold the book I am reading and my left knee/leg to hold the wheel. Don't worry, I don't text or use a cell phone while driving.
While it maybe warn in some parts of the country, its snowing in western Oregon. It almost never snows this time of year. But no one cares when it snows and is cold out of season (if only a million people leave there.)
The company should be fined and their head of legal sent off to federal "pound you in the ass" prison for even attempting to put this in an EULA. How can an EULA supersede law?
Because Corporations are more important then people in the governments eyes?
But, but I though corporations are people (under the law)?
The only important part of the argument is "to think of the children" then we can pass what ever is important (to the government, police, RIAA, etc). Don't let the common good or freedom get in the way.
Who else remembers the issues http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2008/04/bush-lost-e-mails.ars when the Bush's administration replaced the system, Lotus Notes, that the Clinton administration had been running with MS Outlook and Exchange. Then conveniently couldn't recover/find email messages. To give them their due, the Government Records Act does put some strong requirements on any email system being used. Its just that Exchange wasn't up to the task.
After reading the links and knowing how I have time trying to find out why something doesn't work right I think I understand why he is so stoked at finding the root of the problem. Good for Matt, maybe they will send you a fixed processor someday.
While I agree this would be easiest as a U.S federal law, I think this is out side the bounds of the constitution and needs to handled at each of the 50 states.
If the currently allocated bandwidth has proven to cause interference to other services, pick a different band of frequencies to use. They'll have to modify their equipment and I'm sure that will be expensive but if they have the capital to do it, I wouldn't rule them dead just yet.
This could work, other than their business model was based on cheap frequency spectrum. The spectrum was cheap for a reason. They might have a problem finding and buying (cheaply) a different piece.
Well until the shuttle system went in to retirement the shuttles themselves were running IBM 4Pi computers (AP-101s I think). These are descendants of IBM System/360 computers. I wonder if these would count as mainframes. Actually I am not sure of the definition of a mainframe. Would a System/360-20 be a mainframe?
Not having access to the full article I can't tell, but there is a big difference between coating a copper layer (on silica) with another layer of very thin silica and a pane of glass, which I would think is a stand alone structure. Anyone know? Still quite neat.
I guess that is what I'll be doing Monday. Pulling the Ethernet cables on the controllers I have control on. It was nice to be able to check on the function on my PLCs over the "local" net, but it is time to play safe rather than sorry and disconnect them. (I had even been playing with a function last week where I ended up thinking, "ah it should do that. Someone could take this thing over(?)") Task two Monday. Send a email to my PLC company and see what they think. Task three, talk to our cyber security folk.
The Bonneville Power Administration in the northwest US has already started using copper clad steel wire (cable) for grounding purposes. I haven't heard if it is reducing theft yet. BPA hopes it reduces theft so it reduces safety risk of missing power grounds at substations.
The properties also include being a good high temperature lubricant, so the gamers who are pushing their mice to the limit would like this in those mice. Maybe a bit messy. I wonder if the MoS2 flakes and would be hard to clean up.
What else did people buy from Kodak then film. In general their cameras were crap (well I have a old Retina III that took good pictures...). In general they were late to the market. I never tried one of their printers, but that is an example of being too late. They have/had a bunch of fine scientists and engineers too. I guess they needed a visionary like Steve Jobs.
When your most important product is not what one values then there tends to be resistance. When an organization's most important product (aside from paperwork) is safety rather than science (where I would argue the product is science done safely); then you will have problems with the people who in their heart want to do science. One of DOE's major organizational goals seems to be not show up in the news or be called to testify to Congress. How can this do anything but twist your culture.
I don't know anything about LANL, I have never been their, so I am (maybe) just guessing.
I'm a huge proponent of the scientific method, am completely pro-science, especially against psuedoscience... but I completely understand why simple logic would prevent most folks from entering a proper science degree, once they've gotten a chance to digest the extent what lies before them.
It's not the math. It's not the science. It's not the hard work.
It's the fact that they will have no control over their life, in the field that has precious few opportunities, and seems to amount to grueling busywork 90+% of the time.
Either that, or end up as an industry scientist, with some rather nasty ethical consequences in many cases.
In many cases, it would be the love of science that would keep many from rationally choosing to bet their lives in the very limited and dwindling pool of opportunities available in the field(s) now. Not that there isn't research that desperately needs to be done - it just isn't economically feasible to do big things, so you'd just end up a researcher performing tasks for people unable to really progress science much. You'd be wasting your limited existence serving goals that don't help.
At least that's how it looks from the outside.
Get industry to fund real research again, shift university funding to actual general research, and clean up the "Intellectual Property" mess that stifles research, and there would be a rational path to more progress of the sciences - until then, it really does seem a poor wager to bet your life on.

Sorry, "Heath and Safety" and no risk to the employee or business has mostly killed large hands on industrial research. Some industrial research is hanging on in government but most has moved to the university level. Once OSHA really discovers how "out of control" the university research labs are then the end of industrial research in the US will be at hand,the rest will all ready have moved to India, China, or elsewhere in the third world who needs the growth. At this point what business in the US will need the engineers? (I give it within 7 years.)

It seems the dive is complete http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2012/03/120325-james-cameron-mariana-trench-challenger-deepest-returns-science-sub/ and he is back on the surface. A little quicker than expected.

So I guess the next elections should be held at Walmart?
More likely Neiman and Marcus. Just saying.
Humph.

How many people don't think that money in politics is a bad thing? I believe the answer is 541.
435 members of the House of Representatives. 100 members of the Senate. 5 judges on the Supreme Court 1 President of the United States.
Plus all the people doing the buying.

This is an interesting idea, plenty of heat down there, I am just shocked that they would allow this in a National Monument http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/centraloregon/specialplaces/?cid=fsbdev3_035878 Aren't they protected?
Hey, the 12 of us who still use gopher object. (Did you even know there is a swell Gopher server for OS/2. It rocks.)
Those super monsters take time to grow. Just give them time.

Wow, I like how this material is so intelligent that it can differentiate and select radioactive ions from non-radioactive ones. Nice work.
