  1. Re:Silly sounding name on Apple's Siri As Revolutionary As the Mac? · · Score: 1

    But I believe the pronunciation is different. In Portuguese, the stronger syllable is the second one: "Sirí". Apple's technology, if I got it right, is called Siri with the first syllable being the strongest: "Síri".

    $5 a gallon is still cheap.

    A liter here in Italy (http://www.prezzibenzina.it/province/roma - I don't think the rest of Europe is far from that price) costs 1.589 euros, which equals around 2.15 USD, which takes us to 8.36 dollars a gallon.

    I logged in with root and no password.

    I guess you could install a webserver on it, then maybe even host those same files (including "emulator.html")...

    Then on another session open a web browser, point to your webserver and open the emulator...

    That way you'd have an emulated web server serving an emulator that is being run on an emulated web browser emulating linux.

  6. Re:Not exactly. on Security By Obscurity — a New Theory · · Score: 1

    Exactly. The thing is, the term can basically be interpreted in two ways, and people will interpret in the way more convenient for them.

    You could see it as "improved security through obscurity", implying that there are other layers of security.

    Or you could see it as "security through obscurity only", which is just insane.

    And even then (after testing) you can't be sure because of the window period:

    "Antibody tests may give false negative (no antibodies were detected despite the presence of HIV) results during the window period, an interval of three weeks to six months between the time of HIV infection and the production of measurable antibodies to HIV seroconversion."

    I think he's going with the wrong strategy...

    If he tries to position the game as a therapeutic drug, then he's gonna have problems with people that play it too much being considered "drug abusers".

    Whereas if it's considered a treatment, like for example exercising on a pool for people that suffer from Arthritis, abusing it is not going to be considered "something bad"...

    IANAAE (Aerospace Engineer) but I asked my AE friends a couple of weeks back why airplanes (commercial) aren't going faster than the ~700 Km/h that seems to be the cruise speed nowadays.

    They said that after that speed one type of drag starts to increase very fast, if I'm not mistaken because the wingtips start to approach the sound barrier.

    (I'm not American and I don't live in the USA)

    I agree with your post up until you make an uncalled judgment, use it to support a stereotype and then go on to offend a nation. How can you be sure the poster is American, and why do you generalize like that? There are some great examples of wealthy Americans doing great things for social causes (Bill Gates, Buffet, etc).
