Paraonia is an opinion. If someone's laughing right behind you, it's 100% normal to wonder if it's about you. That's basic social interaction and everyone who's paying enough attention SHOULD be concerned. If you completely ignore it or assume it's not about you, you're a sociopath. The morons that ran these experiments probably started with the basis that nobody should be worried about anything ever unless they're being attacked by a tiger or something. Apparently they forgot that if I take one step towards a bird without even looking at it or intending to eat it, it flies away. It's not paranoia, it's normal.
Do we really want them editing it though? If you can access it, you can edit it. The last thing we need is some "patriotic" chinese people altering articles in a bad way.
I'm not big on networking but if I'm sending data to someone and some "flow management" dumps one of the packets, won't my computer or modem just resend it? Seems like not such a good idea to me.
Oh yeah, and there would be SO much competition if all the 3rd party ISPs had to lay their own cables! Either it'd be basically a monopoly or they'd get crushed when the 3rd partiers band together and actually do lay their own cable and it's fiber.
I can see it now: "Yeah, all those bits and bytes are for Teh Noobz! EMP them!" They've been developing deployable EMP bombs for years now. That's probably their entire offensive strategy. That and running ship anchors over the country's fiber connections. That seems pretty effective.
And you know what really helps is writing detailed how-to theory articles, saying it's inevitable, and repeating how effective it could be. That will ensure that all these gloom and doom virus articles come true! That must be what all these authors want or something or they'd all shut up.
Instead of trying to convince everyone on Earth to change all existing software, why doesn't Microsoft just make the next version of Windows have a process handler that can process single threads on multiple cores at once? Actually technically I think Intel could do that internally on their processors too sort of like RAID for cores. It seems really difficult and inefficient but if they finally got it right so it worked, all software would run faster on multi-core chips! Talk about a selling point! Cuz right now the 90% of my software that only processes its resource intensive code in a single thread actually runs slower on a 1.8GHz quad core than on a 2.6 GHz dual core!
yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. You can calculate mass based on gravity perfectly most of the time, though it depends on density doesn't it? So that makes it extremely dynamic while a star is collapsing. Also there's limitless energy that can be dissipated or added through all kinds of means likie rotating, a binary star, orbiting planets, getting hit by interstellar particles, tons of stuff! I mean it's really as simple as let's say a star is under the mass limit. It can turn into a black hole if it's being closely orbitted by 3 gas giants the size of Jupiter if they "fall in" during the process due to gravity changes that affect their orbit, etc. And yet, if it's slightly over the limit, 3 jupiter sized planets could excert enough gravity to be pulling out enough to prevent the star from collapsing. Also if there's a lot of orbitting planets, they can get expelled material in orbit around them and stop it from getting pulled back into the star after it explodes and prevent it from being able to form a black hole. And there's more than just little tweaks too. If it's spinning at a high rate, that could prevent it from collapsing into a black hole because there's more energy for mass ejected from the star during the first stages making it travel far enough away that it can't recombine into a sufficient amount of mass to form a black hole. Spinning quickly can even just simply alter the energy and speed of nuclear reactions as it begins to collapse that will prevent it from or encourage it to form a black hole. Spinning quickly can cause the heavier elements to get sorted down into the core and cause the density of fusable fuel to denser around the outside of the core so the energy eventually drops at a faster rate when it does drop critically low and cause a smaller star to collapse into a black hole. It's like a lithium battery specialized for electronics compared to a normal one. It's like 1.5V and then boom, super low instead of steadily going down as it runs out of fuel.
They can't figure out the "critical threshold" because there isn't one. It all depends on too many variables to set a universal limit (hehehe get it...universal:-P) It depends on how much nuclear activity there is still going on when it start collapsing and what the amount of heavier atoms is and the amount of other things orbiting the star and any other forces affecting the star at that time and how fast it's moving and spinning. Mass is a smaller part of the calculation than they're making it sound like. If they're going to factor everything in just to find some minimum mass, well duh, two particles and a hell of a lot of force. Haven't they suggested that in that big particle accelerator aka donut of doom. So yeah, a critical mass threshold doesn't exist.
Well God forbid they actually have to make an Office 09 suite that's GOOD to compete instead of releasing a bunch of stupid ideas all rolled together into an overpriced Office 07.
naw, they used needles and fat animated men saying "ah ah ah" to handle their whole system. Anyway, doesn't this method destroy DNA? Shouldn't they focus on getting the DNA out and cloning it? And for dinos instead of insects?
I think everywhere is going to have to do "the sensible thing" cuz the starcraft 2 trailers are bittorrent only as is the SRO expansion and like 5 other HUGE things I can't think of so if people can't use the one and only download method for extremely important files, all ISPs are going to have to get real and stop blocking it.
Now if only they can figure out why the "lobster sticks to magnet!" and LOBSTER HAS A BEAK! (if you dunno what that's from, don't hate. Trust me, it's funny)
You don't have to go to any special measures really to do this. I mean plastic and all those synthetic rubber moulds and stuff that the average person couldn't do is a bit excessive. Remember on mythbusters when they tried to beat that "unbeatable" fingerprint lock on a door and managed to do it by printing off the fingerprint with a laser printer and licking it? Yeah, biometrics is a joke. And really good biometrics like DNA aren't practical or fast and the retina scan, well you do that every day for a year and see if you don't go partically blind. I can't care hoe safe they think it is. Facial recognition is pretty useless and easy to beat too. Until they find something that's 100% unique and fast and accurate, they should forget about biometics.
if it does, I'll sure pay the extra like $1 a year or whatever. Actually, either way I don't really care lol. I mean really, that's like 0.1% of the yearly beef jerky budget. My yearly hosting for my site was just up 2 days ago and it was up $10 from last year just for hosting, no DNS, and I wasn't even particularly concerned about that. The only people that should care about a tiny yearly increase are ones that register a seriously high amount of domain names and I can't think of any "good" reason to do that. If not illegal, anyone who registers a ton of domains is at least doing something shady or annoying.
oh yeah, tell that to the marketing department when they try and put Touch Dic on the shelves lol. They'd just assume since it's from Korea, it's a porn game and get all disappointed when it's not.
Not that I trust Poland's postal service or e-mail infrastructure, whichever they're referring to, but I'm sure Microsoft was pulling some BS here. Why don't they just tell Microsoft after all the crap they pulled that they automatically lose?
you know where my brain went first...people seeking floppy frisbees lol. Then you'd need an imaging device though I suppose but at least it could process it lol.
And to think my college's AITP chapter was planning a possible airsoft gun event AT my college (on the weekend). We never got a dependable plastic sheeting to cover the floor to collect the BBs or empty room of permission though:( But both of our supervisors didn't think it was a bad idea.
Oh boy, another case of a company trying to make their own laws cuz they think they're powerful enough to do so. What is it with corporations and not being able to understand that their security can't detain or shoot people, they can't spy on their employees at home, and they can't sue bot makers. How arrogant can you get? If they would get over themselves and actually pay up to have their programmers create anti bot measures, they wouldn't be having this problem.
are you kidding me? Saying that the painting it real without proof is irrational and libel and blah blah blah. You're pretty immature and whiney, you know that? Well as soon as Ada's painting sues me for insulsing it by saying it might not be real, I'll give a crap. And OMG get real, I'm not jealous. I didn't even know who she is and I'm not one of those arrogant, self important people who need to own rare art to feel special.
that's pushing it a bit too but in the other direction. I just bought a brand new BFG 8600GTS OC for $109 -$25 mail in rebate -$50 from selling my old BFG 6600GT OC. So basically it was almost free and it tears Oblivion a new one on almost max settings. I dunno why they pulled $1200 out of their ass cuz that's absurd. You could have stuck that card in a $670 computer with a 2.3GHZ core 2 duo and 1 GB of ram and it would run anything.
so put a label on the top that says "this laptop equipped with GPS security tracking device" even though it's not true. It won't stop people from stealing peripherals though. I'd suggest a motion detecting, picture taking webcam left on all night. That way if they really are dissuaded from taking the laptop cuz of the fake label, the webcam will take the pic of anyone who walks in and sets off the motion trigger and you can see who stole your stuff the next day.
That and ink bomb traps everywhere!
well pardon me for being skeptical but after reading:
It was assumed that the original portrait had been lost forever, until a Canadian antique dealer put the original framed watercolor sketch on eBay
I think it might still be lost forever if you know what I mean. Usually when someone just kinda "finds" a painting and puts it straight to ebay, IT'S A FAKE!
lol you know why that is? Cuz with Open Office, if they add some dumbass feature or alteration like ohhhh say removing the menu bar completely, thousands of angry people will go to their site and complain and they'll change it cuz it's open source. Or if people hate some cute yet annoying character like clippy, they'll eventually remove it. With Microsoft, they think they know what's best and if some overly creative person with no sense at the company gets an idea that some idiot executive thinks it's good, they stick it in the product and if people don't like it, they just try harder to convince people it's awesome.
