Nobody HAS TO be on call 24/7/365; the surgeon and the fireman should be able to have a replacement ready when he's at the theater or sleeping.
Also keep in mind that this was back in the day where you could most likely run around town to find the person in question. You could also be talking about minutes where nowadays it costs millions or someone their life. Things have changed, old man. Nice lawn.
this is your price if you book today, next week, next month etc so that everyone would know what the real price is
This isn't exactly possible unless they start speculating. Prices are usually adjusted and raised the closer the date gets because seats become more and more scarce. Basic supply and demand. In theory, if 0(or very little) seats have been sold the day before the flight, the seats will be sold uber-cheap or the flight will be cancelled all together.
I wonder if there are forums on the Web where plumbers shit all over eachother.
After all the hub-bub about how FOX viewers are dumber than shit...
Actually, it was misinformed, not 'dumber than shit'.
Ugh, the worst offender I've ever seen is the US Postal Service. I dunno how it is now, but at the time, my password had to be EXACTLY EIGHT characters and had to contain EXACTLY ONE capital letter and number, respectively.
Of course, at sign up, the form just discarded any letter over 8 chars and any capital or numbers after the first entered. WTF,man?
USPS is so stuck in the 80s when it comes to computing. I've been working with some of their data and it is incredibly frustrating. Like it was made for those old spool printers. I don't know how anyone can have a database full of ALL CAPS and fixed width datasets this late in the game.
Not the same problem at all. Nobody should have a copy of your bank card number, so that can be seen as part of the 'secret' number in addition to the PIN code.
FYI, you give away your bank card number every time you use it. At most, I'd call it semi-private.
The personal appeal didn't bug me But that "I'm too cool to shave" look did. If you want money, maybe get a better picture that doesn't scare people away. Maybe getting a good photographer is hard when you don't have any donations?
If you're scared of people with beards, how can you exist with all the neckbeards on
Thanks for the links. So far it has all been speculation that this would happen. Though I also heard that names of people like cooperators were actually redacted. Also considering that newsweek article cites only a 'intelligence officer', I'll take it with a grain of salt.
I'd like someone to actually point out to me a record in the leak that has an informant. So far I've only seen conjecture.
The Bandwidth of an analog signal describes how many frequencies are used in transmission. This correlates to the amount of information the signal can transmit. For digital transmission this means a higher bitrate. [...] But I've almost never heard the term used in such a technically correct way, and the term has come to be a synonym of "high bit-rate data connection".
I really don't want to spend the time to look up a better reference than my quoted definition above, so correct me if I'm wrong. However, it is my understanding(and yours, it seems) that 'many frequencies', or multiplexing, like with DSL lines is what 'broadband' defines. So yes, while faster than a single freq modem from back in the day, speed is not the basic definition.
I won't argue that the term has been misused a lot, likely thanks to some marketing departments, but I'd rather not contribute to its watering down.
People who read these sort of publications tend to be practitioners or would be practitioners of these erotic subjects
So, I guess you never fantasize about anything you wouldn't do in real-life? If so, you have some really boring fantasies.
I looked inside the case of my NAS recently, and didn't see any passwords. Does that mean I am safe?
You obviously aren't looking hard enough.
The point is, "broadband" is a moving target and that target SHOULD be moving upwards.
bzzt, wrong. 'Broadband' is a technical term that does not change in meaning. "[Broadband is] a term used to describe a network that can transmit a wide range of signals, including audio and video. Broadband networks are especially useful in the Networked World, as they can carry many signals at once, resulting in faster data transmission"
Think of it this way - if the gov't had a definition for BigHardDisk that was based on the largest available drive in 1999; a not-so-tech-savvy consumer buys one now, then tries to copy all the erm, 1080p tasteful videos that his buddies have.
No. A better analogy would be if the government had a term of 'BigPipe'. That is a relative term that is subject to interperitation.
Total governmental Transparency you want? Please post a link to your tax records.
And why would you think that personal privacy has any comparison at all to governmental transparency? Don't compare the two. One is necessary to a healthy democracy, and the other is personal protection of sensitive information.
"A popular Government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."
