you don't need to be a lawyer to realize that all he has to do is if he invents something, sit on it for about 8 months. Then they won't be able to do anything. Or sign the incorrect date or last name on purpose to make it invalid and if they don't catch it, oh well lol.
not if you're smart enough to hold shift when you plug it in. I believe that's still the XP "don't run autorun anything" trigger. It's really that simple, people. Btw I wrote my own autorun file for my USB drive with the assitance of a freeware program for that and the line of set the icon for the drive always worked on every PC and the very next line about running an.exe file on the drive never, ever ran on any machine. And yet there's the U3 crap so how exactly does this work if there's obviously some protection or something about autoruns running.exe files.
that's exactly why I like my idea better. Get all massive ISPs in the US to get in on this one so no home user has to do much preventative. You find out what just got attacked by let's say the storm botnet. ISPs check their logs and see who tried to contact the victim IP more than 100 times in a minute. Then send em a warning e-mail telling them they're infected and give instructions on what to do to fix it. They could even e-mail them popular removal tools. If they don't do it, disconnect their internet. The only apparent problem is massive fake warning e-mails with virus attachments posing as removal tools but there are ways around that too.
well the reason behind that is simple. They don't care what happens cuz they own the world's actual largest botnet. It makes storm look like a computer lab. It's called Windows XP lol. Remember when they made that invisible, secret windows update that they forced on everyone? Quiz time! What do you call a group of computers where one central controller can make them all execute their code without the owners knowing it? BOTNET!
speaking of that, people talk about the big scary chinese hackers in world war 3. Ha! Microsoft throws down a multi-target stealth update to the entire world and goodbye chinese internet infrastructure lol. You think the gov wouldn't order them to do that during a massive war?
No no no, let's be logical here. It's much more likely that some idiot ruler just was afraid of zombies so he had every dead person's head cut off...by Anubis jackals with sickles like in Age of Mythology.
and they're going to win. You know why? Because by the time it takes off, CA will have broken off into the ocean and sunk or whatever lol. They're just gonna have electric boats.
Why would anyone want one of these other than for novelty
PORN! Didn't you read the previous article a couple months ago about how all the kids with OLPC's were using them to download porn....which brings up my other point, if they're only just producing them now, where did the ones from before come from? If I remember correctly, A LOT had been distrubted. As in enough to be considered mass production.
I think they should drop the one with Iran cuz "no threat?...come on! That's ridiculous. Any crazy person with rockets is a threat to me. Anyway, they should replace that charge with reckless endangerment with a firearm. I'm not sure if that actually exists, I just made it up. Maybe just reckless endangerment. Either way, he should watch where he's pointing that shotgun.
Even if there is competition, it still costs more than an entire laptop just for the drive. Pretty stupid if you ask me. Btw how come if I google product search it, only PQI and Super Talent have SSD's for sale and they're 64 GB? How could they have produced one already?! Anyway, they're listed for well over $1000 so I can only imagine what Samsung wants for theirs. If you're right, I hope they realize it and drop their price to like $300 lol.
I've got an idea. How about the troops don't get shot in the first place, lol. If they invented a powerful, mobile force shield generator, they could put it on troops and also use it on spaceships to Mars and it would be a better use of technological investment money.
For the past 3 days I've been trying to modify and mess with my Motorola V3M Razor and it's a glitchy hell to try and do. Any phone that's more open than the current phone Nazis keep them is fine with me. All those dollar per ringtone and wallpaper people can shove it. Oh and especially that chick on late night TV commercials with the weird accent telling me I can win like $32,000 if I unscramble the word and text it in. I hope Google tracks her down and gets her deported. Now some of you may be asking, "Do you have anger issues with cell phone carriers and their associates" to which I say, "Don't you?"
okay to you and other guy...I already call Vista Vistard so we can't have that. And Leoptard doesn't have Vista in it. So since Leopard if the Vista of macs and you can't settle on Vistapard then...*thinks way too hard to take this joke way too far during the Scrubs commercial break because he just hates Apple that much*

umm maybe because gravity is completely different than light and behaves far differently. It doesn't emminate from anything. String theory be damned, gravity is just a dent in space that causes movement of mass and we already know how to calculate it. First of all it's omnidirectional so radius doesn't really come into play as I think you're stating it above. And and if was capable of spreading wider or focusing into a smaller radius, the more of less it spread out wouldn't matter. It keeps the same energy regardless of the radius and its strength is measured solely by distance from the center of the mass causing it. And yeah yeah yeah there's speed and rotation and blah blah blah but you get the just of it.
I used about 20 amps DC when I accidentally exploded a 20 guage wire tip clear off. One chunk melted into my arm, the other into the table. But with a wall outlet when I was like 8 I blew the plating clear off a metal bracelet with a wall outlet. My mom was like "why's the power out in your room" and I was just like "I dunno" hehehe.
oh and I'm too hyper right now to wait the delay to reply to that other moron a couple posts up but stuff usually shorts when an unrelated piece of metal somehow touches both terminals. I never implied the capaciter plates were exposed.
oh shut up, old people have no idea what's going on lol. I'm 20 and I've been working (well contracted for a special project) at a hospital and I tell you, the older the people in the IT crew are, the less they know about computers and modern computing. They're just there and in high positions because they can handle a project. When google's looking for new ideas, the younger the better and experience really isn't necessary because there's someone else higher up with experience that's telling them what to do. That's why typically in genereal the older people make the long term decisions from higher up positions on IT crews and the younger people go out and do it because they just learned how and aren't sick of keeping current yet. By boss is like 40 and didn't know how to take an AGP card out lol.
I dunno what exactly you mean by that but if it shorts out by natural circuit means as in a piece of metal touches both terminals on the capacity and it discharges half of the entire energy of a lithium ion battery all at once, UH OH! First it would probably arc enough to damage things around it. Second, if it doesn't them whatever metal takes the brunt of it would probably fly off in molten chunks. Don't say electrical shocks can't liquify and explode metal at the same time cuz I've got the burn marks in my arm and one of my tables to prove it. And third, I think that would release a bit of EM energy too so your HDD could be wiped.
It seems like the only advantages are that you can carry a full battery plus an extra amount of much less safely stored electricity and running the battery down to 0.0001% instead of 2%, which btw is extremely dangerous in the cold or for long periods of time because it will kill batteries so they can never be recharged again (that's happened to me too). This may be the dumbest idea ever.
because most jackasses own some fancy phone that they're just talking on to show off. They turn around and get up and stroll around and take some pictures with it as they talk just to make sure everyone knows they're as cool as the person in the commercial for the phone was. I HATE THOSE PEOPLE! We don't need jammers, we need directional low yield EMP cannons to kill their phones permanently.
oh yeah and jammers are illegal but faraday cages aren't. As for the idiots saying that some people may need to use a cell phone in case their pacemaker fails or whatever BS they wrote above, if the person is so stupid as to rely on a cell phone as their one and only solution, that's their own stupid fault. I mean come on, the battery could be dead, you could naturally get a bad signal, the tower could be too busy, etc etc etc. Don't trust a cell phone with your life.
hey hey hey, buying from a union shop makes it just about impossible for you to be supporting illegal immigrants working in this country for illegally low wages without paying taxes. That's a bit more important to me personally. But anyway, I don't care if they only buy form union places or only buy from non union places, if the end product is skanky beef, I'm not buying it and they shouldn't be selling it. And I don't care if all the proceeds to their wiimote ripoff goes to feeding homeless children, the product is just wrong and they shouldn't be selling it. That's called the free market.
not even just lowest price, some of their decisions just plain evil/stupid. Have you heard the story about the whole meat issue? Ever wonder why Walmart ground beef smells, looks, feels, and tastes like some sort of rotting roadkill compared to respectable grocery stores? It's because as I understood the explanation, they refuse to buy meat from any meat processors that are unionized which leaves absolute crap companies. Don't eat Walmart meat...in fact, don't even shop there. They'll pick up any product if it's cheap and they think it will sell. Soon they're going to have way too many people with the feeling that Walmart sells 100% cheap crap products, which somehow they've been able to somewhat avoid so far.
P.S. I actually know the person who sold just a console box on ebay for retail price of a new unit cuz the bidder didn't read carefully.
buuuuuuuuut the article isn't about the invention of MathML. It's about a font. Times New Roman can type every single character on the character map, which is a FUCKING LOT of scientific characters. So they made a new font with a few more sciency characters and they're just kinda hoping MathML will maybe use it but otherwise there's absolutely no use for it at all at the moment? You see where I'm going here? It's kinda a stupid invention with no real purpose at the moment.
Well good, they needed a font set that had all the symbols you'd ever want to type in science. Only one little problem though...how do you type it? You'd either need a seriously huge keyboard, someone to memorize thousands of key combinations on a current keyboard, or an on screen keyboard program. Each of those options is unacceptably slow or difficult. Plus right now, we have alt codes that almost nobody knows about or uses and the character map built into XP with searchability. So um...what did they invent that we don't already have other than a font?

last time I checked, we care about Isreal. Oh yeah and I think we have some people in Iraq too. I dunno, I'll have to check on that last one.

In memory of them, I'm officially nicknaming Leopard: Vistapard.
what the fuck is wrong with you? I re-read my post and I can't find one single word spelled wrong. AND WHY HASN'T HIS POST BEEN MARKED TROLL?!?!?!?!
