Re:800C?To prevent uncontrolled energy dissipation you can use a fuse.
Fun fact: the spark plug in your car creates a temperature of 60,000 K (a little over 107,000 F). A cheap 4" (100 mm) magnifying glass can generate a temperature of over 600C. So, like you said, it's all about duration and area.

This was not to aid the Syrian government.
The entire western narrative on Syria has been one guy in Britain. This is a US-backed coup led by Islamic jihadists in the same fashion that we hired Al Qaeda to fight the Russians in Afghanistan for us. Not once has any western-backed media outlet given any credibility to Syria. If Syria wanted the Internet and communications gone, they would have done so a long time ago.

Re:Why should flying a drone be different?
I can imagine what a ball turret gunner from a B-17 or B-24 would say about the drone pilots being bored when they spent hours in a cramped, unpressurized, freezing cold turret scanning the airspace below the plane for approaching enemy interceptors; trying to stay alert and alive.
Something like this . .
.From my mother's sleep I fell into the State,
And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze.
Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life,
I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters.
When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose. -
From the "Look and Feel suit" protest:
This has been going on for a while. Here's one of several online images of the "Keep Your Lawyers Off My Computer" button commissioned by John Gilmore and Richard Stallman, 'way back when Apple sued Microsoft over Windows looking too much like the Lisa/Macintosh interface they licensed from Xerox - and thus threatening other programmers writing windowing systems and components of them (X, NeWs, Gnome, Display Postscript,
...).(I got my copy of that button from John Gilmore. B-) )

Re:Bullshit
land was offered. MANY TIMES. 100% of the time it was turned down and they wanted no peac with the 'dirty jews'.
I will steal from you your life savings. When you get upset and try to punch me in the nose, I will offer a small fraction of it back to you. Will you be satisfied and stop trying to punch me?
get your fucking facts straight, moran!

Fun is Bullshit
"Fun" is generally a bullshit word people use when they can't narrow down what they're really talking about.
"The guy who invented Minecraft (Markus "Notch" Persson) didn't just create a giant virtual world in which you could make stuff, he made it challenging. When Will Wright created the Sims, he didn't just make a game about living in a virtual house. He made it difficult to live successfully. That's why both of those franchises have sold millions of copies. The fun factor..."
Both of those examples sound more like "productive challenge" than "fun".

Just more of the same
They haven't done anything that wasn't already being done by others. They're just doing more of it. Essentially, the approach consist of using Bayesian statistics and a hierarchy of patterns. Prof. Hinton pretty much pioneered the use of Bayesian statistics in artificial intelligence. With a rare notable exception (e.g. Judea Pearl), the entire AI community has jumped on the Bayesian bandwagon, not unlike the way they jumped on the symbolic bandwagon in the latter half the 20th century, only to be proven wrong fifty years later.
The Bayesian model essentially assumes that the world is inherently probabilistic and that the job of an intelligent system is to discover the probabilities. A competing model (see links below), by contrast, assumes that the world is perfectly consistent and that the job of an intelligent system is to capture this perfection.
See The Myth of the Bayesian Brain and The Second Great AI Red Herring Chase if you're interested in an alternative approach to AI.

Re:Still not as good as Chrome.
A serious question: why do you want WebP support? What does it buy you?
The blog post at http://muizelaar.blogspot.com/2011/04/webp.html explains why Mozilla is not likely to support WebP in its current state, but if there's something Jeff missed it might be worth letting him know...

Re:Quick fix
The best short term defense against this?
Just put
exit 0
at the end of your /etc/rc.local and the rootkit becomes unloadable. Just like in Debian Squeeze.I did not get that. Would you kindly explain that?
Well, it's even in TFA, and described in more detail here. According to the guy who analyzed it (Georg Wicherski): "the command is appended to the end of rc.local" and "On a default Debian squeeze install,
/etc/rc.local ends in an exit 0 command, so that the rootkit is effectively never loaded". This is what happens when you try to install the rootkit on Debian Squeeze. -

Re:Yeah!
Which republican politicans support black people and black issues?
I can name a few, but you want "seniority in the GOP", and no major politicians support black people and black issues, not even Obama. Many pander to them, and then stab them in the back, but that's about it. That's the current dynamic. Black Democrats are elected in majority-black districts, and portray their entire constituency as victims that he will "fight for" - then they use that rhetoric to gain power for themselves. Much has been written about this, so I'm sure it's no surprise to you. I worked hard this year on Dean Longo's campaign, but despite a much better message for his community and a do-nothing zombie opponent, he couldn't get even 30% of the vote. Can't do anything if you can't get elected.
There was a president who passed the Civil Rights Act against strident opposition from southern whites. That president was LBJ.
You have a skewed version of history in your head. Public school? Try learning a little history on your own about the "parties" (oh, there are 2 of them, right?) and about LBJ. Note the president supporting Civil Rights legislation 10 years earlier - a Republican.
What have the GOP ever done for them?
Emancipation Proclamation ring a bell? What have the Democrats done for them? I mean, really, not just rhetoric.
And, sorry, you're just wrong about LGBT voters. They are not partisans as a group. Sure, they voted in the 70% range for Obama, but fairly split on parties in general. Several Republicans in the recent election won the LGBT vote over their Democratic opponents. That's why they have real political power, while black (voting in the 95% range for Democrats) do not.

Re:My two cents...
When even the skeptic bloggers turn against you, you know you're fighting a lost cause. Spencer obviously thinks Latour is crap. Lucia thinks "Slaying the Sky Dragon" is crap. Curry thinks it's crap. (I don't link to her blog because the publishers of the book got her blog shut down for daring to criticize them.)
But hey, keep eating up everything the Sky Dragon feeds you, you gullible tool.
