In order to use the Vehicle as a plane you still need to have at least a sport pilot license - which is kind of like a restricted pilots license. In order to get your sport license you need to learn, and are tested on, the airspace limitati

Looks like you and I have toyed with the same idea (Kinect controlled lighting). I was shocked by how easy it was to put together and how effective it was. Probably not an easy thing to commercialize though ("yeah, just embed these sensors

Hashing passwords on the client indicates that the salt is available to the client. In the event of a database compromise it's guaranteed then that the attacker will have the salt and be able to crack your passwords. If the salt is stored o

These are the types of steps I'm guessing we'll see over the next few years towards driverless cars. It's not difficult to imagine these incremental changes becoming more and more frequent as companies compete in this space. One thing that

Some companies are certainly less (or more) evil when common societal norms and mores are used as a yardstick. Look at Xe (Blackwater) for example: http://www.google.com/search?q=blackwater+allegations Microsoft (and most tech companies)

Good advice. "Explain" in this case wouldn't be enough to work out what's going on, however. In both the TEXT and VARCHAR cases he expected the queries to be using temporary tables so the output from mysql explain (both showing the use of t

Also known as kinesthetic anchoring, the bread and butter of basic NLP. It's pretty controversial like the rest of the material and is probably utterly ineffective.

This is a very subtle distinction. You say "...it's suggesting that rather than searching for a need you want solved and framing it in terms of a realistic goal and whittling it down to a compelling product, you should be identifying someon

It sounds more like cross site scripting to me than SQL injection. In SQL injection you try to coax a database engine into performing a previously unintended action by carefully crafting content that is part of a query. If this attack works

I agree completely. It's very frustrating to deal with people who apply NLP or lay-CBT on a regular basis. Especially when you are trying to have a rational conversation and they are wasting time trying to "learn about sub-modalities" or ap

Exactly: provided that $350,000 was a decent price (which doesn't seem too unreasonable) and the fair value does not decline they now have a $350,000 intangible asset on their balance sheet that will not likely decline in value. You can't s

My only reservation after looking at this. You could imagine the "POS" acronym changing meaning very quickly in the event of connection failure. That said, maybe they could eventually integrate gears or some other type of offline storage.
