The only thing I can think is that ^^^grandparent^^^ is refering to the customized version of Linux that google runs their clusters on? Yes it is Linux based, but after having re-implemented such things as the filesystem (and other subsystems, I'm sure) it is at least (if not more) of an OS than any given Linux distro is an "OS"
No no...the music is the razor handle...its relatively inexpensive (or even free) and lasts forever...the iPod is the blade: its gets irritating (battery life) if you don't replace it every 18 months and costs about 50% more than you think it should.
Well, I have a big, ugly, poorly designed (well, the case anyway) Dell tower here on my desk at work...if someone wants to donate a Mac Mini to this cause we can finally get some real answers around here.
A lot of people focus on the issues of passport as trusting Microsoft issues. While we here might feel that way, the world at large either does trust Microsoft, or doesn't care / know any better. However, and I don't know if my experiences were common, every time I tried to use passport, it would fail to log me into the site claiming to support it! I would invariably get stuck in a forwarding loop and never get authenticated...every year or so I would get an opertunity to try the login again, every year I thought, "they probably got the kinks out by now" and every year, it didn't work.
The terms "down stream" and "up stream" seem counter intuitive for the first time ever. At 30,000 feet I think I want the bulk of my bandwidth comming up!
I'm working on getting a job in a DoD funded lab. US citizenship is a requirement of applicants as you need to get DoD security clearance. So unless we start offshoring our homeland security projects then my job would be secure from that.
RF / Smart Cards (such has HID iClass)... my understanding is that this is more of a contactless smart card technology, i.e. there is an encryption machine on the card so the "communication" is secure. The same technology that makes it [hard/impossible] to clone SIM cards applies here.
Fortunately, we have this great technology called natural selection. It may sound very inhumane of me, but if there are diseases that our medicine can't cure, then the good ol' natural selection mechanism will kick in and immune "mutants" will start surviving these diseases.
Saddly, a file extension of.legitimate would probably foil many scans. As long as it didn't become a popular choice. For that matter, just removing all words from the file name that have ever been used for the title of a song, movie, tv show or the name of a musical artist would foil most of the scans done today.
Right. Antimatter is a way of solving energy storage problems, not energy production problems. That's why they want to use this for bombs and spaceships, not powerplants.
Yes, the "stolen" music format...aka MP3... when those Franhofenzeigen guys invented MP3 compression, I don't even know why they went with the.MP3 extension. It would have been a lot clearer if they had just gone with the.stolen extension.
Its still something that can lead to a diminished state of affairs. If the show costs 1/10 the money to produce (the mini series in the article cost $1 million for the whole series... compare at millions per episode of some shows), the network doesn't need as many people to like it. Spend 1/10 as much, make 1/2 as much, you're still getting a better return on investment. Reality TV seems to polarize audiences. More people don't like reality shows than didn't like the standard format shows of 5 years ago. And of course you'll often be talking to someone who says "yeah, reality TV sucks, but I have a soft spot for [insert reality show here]".
The networks have found a way to be more profitable. These shows are so low risk that they're turning them out at an incredible rate, and its that that has brought the bar down. Its not as simple as "well people like it so that's what they play".
Laser protected wind shield: a piece of metal. Commerical airlines are flown almost entirely on intruments, the glass windshield is there for taxing around the runway. Even landing is starting to be done "by wire"... I think the true solution is to just make it so the pilot doesn't need to see. If he gets hit while taxing, no big deal. That's what co-pilots are for.

Besides, we all know what this should be called: its a monobike.
I think you're joking but I can't tell...monobike = mono bicylcle = 1 2 wheels = not making sense....

They're giving away a razor in a world where, on every street corner there's a sketchy guy calling out "hey, free gillete quality razors!"

I read that:

Yeah, you're right. Screw R&D. I think we're better off sitting on our asses and maybe a solution to the world's problems will fall from the sky.
Who's with me?
I wonder if newer silicon techniques found in things like DLPs could be used to improve efficieny when the angle of incidence is != 90 degrees.

I'm sorry, but to the best of my knowledge, the web predates time itself.
The occasional journalistic integrity of multpiple MS affiliated news outlets has bitten MS in the ass more than once.
