I still don't understand why they elected to change to this system of releasing major versions every flippin month. The old system was working just fine, why can't this be Fx 5.5? And save v6 for when there are actually some major changes that deserve a major version.
Because when I an user check the "Choose your Browse" screen, it wants the higher number. Pfff, are you on FF5? My Chrome goes to 11!
Maybe he is just outside the USA? Here in Brazil, at the good and serious universities (which are Public, by the way), a part of the patent an\or copyright is always kept by the researches, usually 50%.
word processors work very much the same.
No they don't, and here is the crux of the question. If word processing for you is just bold, italic and paragraphs, yeah it is the same. The moment you start to make different formatting it is the problem starts. The change with the ribbon was bad, but most of the keyboard shortcuts was kept the same, so after the initial shock people went back to work.
But the worst problem is on Calc. There is a huge world of difference there which is difficult to adapt. Starting with macros and custom functions. But even smaller things like selecting all items, navigating the spreadsheet is completely different, enough to throw people away. The retraining, specially when what you do is automated, is too costly sometimes.
I'd argue that if that line is accepted, then the information should be stored in a manner that prevents access outside of a lawful enquiry authorized by a recognized court or a lawful query by the monitored individual as per the European data protection standards. How you'd enforce that is difficult.
As long as is opt in and public (the practice, not the data).
Now seriously guys, there are bad titles, and there are pathetic ones. This takes the cake as the prime of the prime on the latter camp. You make it sound like they want to ban it on Australia as a whole, while the truth is much more simple and in fact, valid. They simply urged the agencies to not use those services. The puzzlement should come from why are they using it anyway?
This was an audit performed on the security of Government data and not an exercise on quashing free speech. FFS aesoteric and samzepous, this was so pathetic that it wasn't even funny.
what technology has japan used or is japan using thats saved so many lives?
Japan has an impressive Earthquake alert system. They picked the shaking 1 minute before it main force hit. That gave time for most of the people to evacute the buildings as needed. Same goes for the Tsunami. Where they didn't have time to react though, like in Sendai, which was absurdly close to the epicenter, the death tool was worst.
4. Don't be evil and you won't have anything that could be used against you
Oh man. That was funny. You had me a moment there.
While the article follows the journalistic tradition of bad statistics reporting, your vehemence is misplaced. Maybe you work for M$
Funny, but no. My vehemence is just to reiterate that they tested the "quality" of free antivirus against an unknown sample of threads. Which is completely different than what the summary tried to paint.
O Globo is one of the biggest newspapers on the country. But it is not a technology news site as the summary implies. Although yes, this was posted on the tech area of the site, it is hardly the focus of the newspaper.
Regarding the testing itself. This is just a report on a test made by an external firm (www. clavis.com.br) which was commissioned by the site. The test focused on the quality of free antivirus only. With implications that the issue lies in the fact that they are free, not that all antivirus are plagued by these issues (I will let you decide on what was the exactly aim of the article). Besides that, the test is devoid of crucial information. The database they used is a great one, the CAIS is maintained by our best scientific network, RNP (site in English: http://www.rnp.br/en/), so I trust the info there. But nowhere does it say that the threats are in Portuguese.
They used a list of 3.269 threats among virus, trojan horses, spywares, keyloggers, and etc. We don't know how many of each. Before the article they praise pay security suites, because they are a suite and not an antivirus only. There is no data on these threats, nor how many of each type, how old each one was, nor how they have threats which are not on the known list of each antivirus. Much less the language of the code.
Let me repeat it: NOTHING on the test implies that antivirus have a problem with non-English threats. It only said that those antivirus had that percentage of correct matches on either Heuristics or non-threads. But we don't know the exactly content of the database or the code used to test it. Much less the quality of the test.
Again: Language was not a part of the test!!!
Why would you need one? You could simple add something like this on the form you sign to take part of an exame. You hereby abide by this contract to not use any form of outside or electronic help during the course of this exam. And also to not use any type of communication device, included but not limited to cellphones. You also accept that during the exam, on the vicinity of the exam room, a device will be installed to monitor inbound and outbound communication, to scan for possible attempts to have external help. And you acknowledge and accept the fact that the evidence found by such devices can and will be used to investigate and if found guilty, exclude the guilty part from the rest of the procedures.
Of course you cover it in legalese and doesn't right amateurish like I did. In any case I can't understand why someone would think this is wrong.
I like it when trolls have no fucking idea what they are talking about. We haven't grow our sugar plantations in quite a while. The deforestation is not mainly for two things: wood and cattle. And it has slowed on the last decades. It is still a big problem, but for other reasons.
He is in solitary confinement 23 hours a day; is not allowed to exercise in his cell; has been denied a pillow and sheets;
WTF?!?!?!?!!? Is there any way to corroborate these facts. Because this is fucking ridiculous.
Lucky you. You don't have a sugar cartel controlling supply and jacking up prices like we do.
As the other user said, yes we do, the usineiros as they are called have a lot of people on the congress (the Agribusiness Lobby is the second larges non-partisan group on the Congress and Senate), and they have a monopoly of a lot of stuff. That means they jack up prices and try to stiffle the market of other type of fuel.
What happened to balance is that other big farmers decided to jump on the biodiesel wagon, and their lobby was stronger than the Ethanol's, so they got some subsidies to start making Castor Bean diesel. That put them on their place and the prices got a little more controlled. But still that risks upping the price of other produces with more and more farmers jumping at that wagon and forgetting the once great rice, wheat and soy.
The one day you'd sell your soul for something, souls are a glut.
