When I travel to Kiev, Ukraine, that's what I use. The cab industry is pretty much de facto deregulated there. And you know what? It's great! It's dirt cheap - vast majority of fares are well below $10. There are apps, that allow me to order taxi from many different companies at the best available rate, and yes - the rates are specified instantly. No need to guess how expensive your trip is going to be. I traveled many dozens of times - not a single problem. The need of regulation in this industry is overrated.
The energy efficienty of fuel cell powered cars is abysmally low in comparison to electric. Infrastructure is almost non-existent and requires major investments. Hydrogen is very leaky and requires very high pressures for storage. There is a decent electric car already mass produced: Tesla Model S. I know that the batteries are pretty expensive, and energy density needs improvement, but for the sake of keeping our planet in better shape, I hope electric beats hydrogen.
I spend hours per day browsing internet. It seems like I am addicted to it. However when I travel overseas or do some hiking, I find absolutely zero withdrawal symptoms, even if I am offline for weeks at a time. The real addiction I have is not to the internet, but to brain stimulus. I hate boredom, and when I'm static, boredom sets in and makes me want to get online to get mentally stimulated. When I do some work around the house, talk to someone or travel, my brain is stimulated enough to not have a need for internet.
It might work if your web sites are not particularly popular. Above a certain threshold of popularity, spammers might actually personally visit your site to fine-tune their spam scripts.
They serve absolutely opposite purposes. Java is all about cross-platform support..NET, on the other hand, was created by Microsoft for Microsoft lock-in. Don't even start about Mono.
The shop that I work for develops software for 5 platforms: Windows, RHEL, HP-UX, AIX, and Solaris. For our core performance demanding jobs we code in C++. Everything else - mostly Java + few scripting languages..NET is simply not in our lexicon for a good reason. It would be utterly useless for us.
According to the latest news. Also failed to find the Sun, and there are three days of battery power left before it's dead.
BTW grunt means soil in Russian
You mean if somebody has physical access to your hardware on day-to-day basis? We are not talking about that. As several posters mentioned before - stolen laptop is the main concern here. If the disk is encrypted with a good key, this cold-DRAM-reading is the only viable and relatively easy method of stealing sensitive data from it.
The best solutions I've read so far today about:
1. Getting rid of the somehow marked sensitive information from memory, while switching to sleep mode or to locked mode. This method will need lots of code change and full cooperation of OS and application developers.
2. Using capacitor based backup power on motherboard to wipe memory clean at the moment of power loss. This method is easier to implement but less reliable, since you can pop RAM from the motherboard while it is still on, or just destroy that capacitor before power off.
Since the moon rotates about its axis at the same period as its orbit, the earth always appears at the same place in the sky when viewed from a given location on the surface of the moon
If you are standing at the point where Earth is barely visible above horizon, it won't appear stationary. The reason for this is that since the orbit of the Moon is elliptical, you will see the Earth rising or setting at almost any moment.
Working for a big company with huge IT department. Our policy:
1. Workstations don't have internet access by default. There is separate cybercafe for internet access.
2. No administrative privileges are given unless you are software engineer or clearly explained why you need it and was given a permission.
3. Email is the only thing that can get to workstations from the internet, but its use is strictly work-related. Very helpful if you need some doc from internet.
The policy is pretty strict, but it's fine with me since cybercafe use is unrestricted to reasonable extent. On the good side, I don't recall anybody having infected machine since I started working for the company. Moreover, less than 10% of people get any junk mail - punishment for abusing corporate email accounts. I am admin on my machine, but it was never infected and I have never had any junk mail.

Just go with the crowd.

I wish we could build these soon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeder_reactor to work until we get these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_reactor
Pimp my kidneys!

If you are standing at the point where Earth is barely visible above horizon, it won't appear stationary. The reason for this is that since the orbit of the Moon is elliptical, you will see the Earth rising or setting at almost any moment.... inside internal combustion engine? By this I mean energy conversion efficiency, and cost/durability.
That will be an F in Chemistry to me.
I mean where does one H2 go?

Hm, Google searching space... I'm waiting for the time google will search in people's bodies and catalog their illnesses.
Dude, I bet you cannot shoot as far as they did, you have to do a lot of training for this.
Is it possible to delete previous message with this one?
And how much money will those solar panels save you until they (or you) die?
Same thing was about DVD and their CSS protection. Do you recall what have happened to them in Linux?
