Well, for me -- not being an artist, but a mathematician -- a Mac just perfoms best. Great huge screen, an OS which just works the way it should, a great TeX distribution, and good choice of programs for surfing the web, reading e-mails and organising my BibTeX references. I for myself have used Linux before and it does a great job but by now I feel more comfortable with my iMac...
After just having seen what information the iPhone stores without the users knowledge I don't want to know how much more information the future smartcar wants to store and give away to different companies and lawenforcement agencies. No thanks.
In case the harddrive is full disc encrypted it all should not matter...
...that Wikileaks is on that list? Or similar sites?
Such kind of failed appeals makes me want to bom.... %$!%$$*&! CARRIER LOST.
The time machine stores the back up files on an external hard drive in a specific way such that can perform the backup task and the possible restore task effectively. In order to this to work noone should modify or delete any data stored in the backup location. This will most likely corrupt the backup.
The author of the article told Sophos AV to delete files from within the time machnien backup location
Are you sure the way we teach calculus hasn't changed at all in that time?
The way we teach calculus has not changed so much that you would need every second year a new revision of a calculus book.
If a new revision is needed every second year, then there has been something wrong with the text book in the first place or there is something wrong with the publisher or both options apply (and somehow I think the latter is the case).
So what is the news here?
1) That someone opens a fake account in the name of someone else (I presume that happens on a regular basis anyways), or
2) That some cluless idiots (sorry for the harsh words) do exchang SENSITIVE information on Facebook? And then they suddenly wonder how this information got into wrong hands?!
So how does this work? Can you visit a site wearing a 'condom', or do you know, somehow, that you shouldn't click on something.
You know, even a condom does not prevent pregnacy 100%. Neither does the pill. (My neighbors half year young daughter is a perfect example of the latter; which does not mean she is not loved by her parents, quite the contrary!) Same with anty virus programs. Of course you CAN get infected dispite running them. It is just less likely...
If I would have to make decisions in a company, I would block Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and a few other sites which are popular but not necessary for company life. I am aware that a certain amount of private activity is fine in corporate environment, but certain sites draw just far too much time on them on a regular basis.
I for myself do not have a Facebook nor a Twitter account. And I use the Leechblock extension on Firefox to keep me of unnecessary sites during work hours which I otherwise would visit far too often. I know my weaknesses and from some of them I have to protect me myself...
Any ISP who will forward me any such kind of harassment letter will get from me a reply which will tell them that the allegations are completely unjustified (and that I want to see any proofs of them supporting their allegations). I will warn them that if they continue to harass me, that I will with out further notice cancel my contract with them and move to an other ISP. If I receive another letter I will cancel my contract without any further warning. If they refuse to accept my cancellation I will sue them for harassment and I doubt that they will have any evidence whatsoever that I did anything wrong. So they will lose in court (and meanwhile I do have other means to get to the internet if things really go bad)...
But let me ask you: where would you place The Center, if not Here?
Where the centre of the mass is. And this is definitely not here.
I think the technology is out there, it's called zero-energy buildings: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-energy_building
OK. But does that give you the right to aggregate those photos, organize them by location, creating a photo map of the entire planet?
That would be the reason I would want to shoo away the Google car.
On the one hand: Location based services are increasingly being incorporated into photographic devices. It's only a matter of time before the planet is completely photo-mapped with location information. Attempts to prevent this are only by scaremongers who have an idealistic view of privacy.
Take for example Flickr (which I am using). Even though one can look for photos based on location data it is far from giving you the same possibility as street few gives. It doesn't give you a systematic overview of the surrounding which gives you the information as you would get when walking there.
I doubt that any site which allows you to share photo will ever get a service similar efective to Google Street View. And if they attempt
If you think the system is working, ask someone who's waiting for a prompt.
