When i was young my father did have bottles of sulfuric acid and an opened 50kg bag of ammonium nitrate in the garage. We also have a lot of cleaning product that can be mixed together to make some nice explosive or colored fires in the storage room. We did have a room full of electronics component where we build models (cars, planes) with radio commands. The sulfuric acid was for the car batteries, the ammonium nitrate for killing the grass/plants mostly in the alley... I even used the ammonium nitrate with sugar against the moles making big holes in the garden on the same occasion. I did event come into possession of cyanide or made some high explosive (picric acid) with a biochemist friend. If these cops have been in my home, the whole family would have been locked up :/

Some animals are far more susceptible to such narrow change in GW than to deforestation and encroachment:

"Climate change directly affects the reproduction of sea turtles in three ways. First, sea level rise will affect significant nesting beach areas on low-level sand beaches such as Bonaire, the Maldives and the Great Barrier Reef. Second, rising temperatures increase the chance that sand temperature will exceed the upper limit for egg incubation, which is 34 degrees C. Third, rising temperatures bias the sex ratio toward females because temperature during incubation determines the sex of the egg. Loggerhead turtle nests in Florida are already producing 90 percent females owing to high temperatures, and if warming raises temperatures by an additional 1 degree C or more, no males will be produced there.

"Score one point for full disclosure". I don't think so. "Score one for bad publicity" yes. With the previous customer looking somewhere else to provide new lock as Onity wheren't caring about them and their promise of high security electronic locks...

Then the US will ask your extradition to be judged for helping a terrorist organisation by not providing them the requested datas.... Whatever you do, you are fucked :-/

Could they encrypt they data? And only a subsidiary who only work for the provider have the keys? That way, they can ask the datas, but not the keys because the company holding the keys doesn't work in the states...

They are also too scared to make they 'partners' angry at them that they are willingly sacrificing their surface computer. Surface is failing because I am unable to test it before buying it in any shop around me. And it seems that it is a good thing with the keyboard getting cracks in just some days/weeks of usage... Moreover, making the 'pro' version of it with half the battery life is just crazy, because the pro version should have the double of battery life to be a contender.

For me, Surface is just a tech demo. Nothing else.

Why? It is something i see regularly in public services: When you get budgets cuts (generally on the workforce budget line), you spend more on external services/companies to do the same work with worst SLAs. As it is not the same budget line all is ok :(

Try to reverse engineer a non functioning microprocessor with a out of order electronic microscope... Building a civilisation is hard enough to not add the complexity of reverse engineering the previous one.

Steam users are games that want the latest and best of what their money can buy, and on the shelves only windows 7 computers are available.
Companies want to keep their knowledge/trainning as long as possible, and/or one of their core application doesn't work on windows 7, and/or the investment in new softwares adapted to windows 7 is too high. Companies have a bunch of "good" reasons to keep XP.

Not only that. It's clear that india is a country how have not anymore any problems to solve like enegy production and distribution, rising education level in the poorest places of the country... They should spend their money to make india a place where i would love to emigrate than to spend it for the glory to be the first to send humans on mars.

How would Facebook be now if it doesn't have done its IPO? I personnaly think that the company would be still the same. Perhaps with a little bit less liquidity. It wouldn't have bought the 2 other companies at the prices they bought them. But would Facebook would have been in a better or worst position than now. Is in some cases an IPO not the best solution for a company that is working well. I know that an IPO can make you a lot of money fast that you can reinvest. But thinking long term and gaining that same money little by little without a damocles sword over your head could still be a solution no?

I use Dreamweaver as a better editor. I don't really use the WYSIWYG part of it but all the nicities like templates, editable regions and links management. When i create a new website i go generally in manual coding and define where my editors could update the page with the editable regions and stop them messing with the code of the page structure (but they can use the WYSIWYG features of DW for their editing). The templates make it easier to do changes globally in the website and the link managment reduce greatly the risk of broken links when moving/deleting things.

Is webmastering for an gouvernemental organisation is "Developing software for a company"?

Ubuntu updates are far less problematic than windows updates in my experience. I have an ubuntu server running with automatic updates for the last 2 years without a problem. I just check it from time to time if it need a reboot for a new kernel. That machine is used by me and the members of my family as file server, web server, mail server, chat server and game server.
I can't say the same with my windows 7 box for who i have bad feelings at each updates because until now 3 updates have broken my machine to a point i needed a full reinstall :-(

In north of france, buildings build after the second war are mostly build from red bricks. 2 to 3 bricks wide for structure walls and 1 brick wide for interior walls.
