YEs but the interesting thing is that you can get at least some access going with nothing more then the kernel, bash, and a bootloader. Where as with Windows it's all or nothing.
Try it, I once had to make a custom bootdisk for a VERY old laptop and learnt all sorts of neat tricks with Linux in the process.
At least as far as marijuana and other less drastic drugs go, the police for the most part simply choose not to enforce the laws with some even being supportive of it.
Christ, you've got nothing on Canada. Asides from a few little drops of asphalt and cement on our southern border the rest of this bloody country is a damn park.
I don't know about Canada invading USA but I can tell you that USA invading Canada would be a nightmare of guerrilla warfare beyond anything they ever had to handle in Iraq or Afghanistan. Think the Iraqis and Al-Queda had a fuck load of caves and holes to hide in? Well we have even more. The majority of us would be able to easily arm ourselves in the event of such an invasion, we're (more) intelligent and most of us have at least some experience with wilderness survival.
That and we're the little nerdy kid in the schoolyard that everyone likes. It would be an unspinable foreign relations disaster to attack us.
You can say that again, the first two seemed like little more then an image warper combined with a facial recognition system. But that enhanced video one just about had me shitting myself with the things they managed to pull off.
Bark isn't too hard to pull off at least form a technical standpoint, from an artistic standpoint it can of course be a bitch to pull off but that's a different matter. Hair is a bit trickier but you can usually get decent enough looking results. Orange peel has a bit of Sub Surface Scattering (SSS) but in most scenes you can again get away without it.
So that leaves skin, for a long time realistic skin was almost the holy grail for CGI given that SSS and multiple layers are a huge component of skin but now for pre-rendered images the technology and the horsepower is largely in place to pull it off. Of course this is about RT raytracing so I can expect that it will be quite a while(on a technological timeline) before your average desktop computer can render skin in les then a minute much less 30 times a second.
Well there's a damned good reason for that too. When your cars computer dies or a fuel injector clogs you pull over to the side of the road. In an airplane you can also pull over to the side of the road, unfortunately that road happens to be 5000' below you. Pilots don't WANT to fly in anything that hasn't been tested and proven again and again and again.
Oh it's that simple then is it? Only 70% and the USA can be free of foreign oil, well christ boy I bet if you took that extra little step and knocked off %100 you could be completely free of or dependency on oil.
Or perhaps the whole 1-click purchase is just a really stupid idea. I personally like to have some sort of confirmation before I spend even $5 much less $20, $50 or $1000. The only place 1-click trading purchasing really has a place is for day traders and the like where optimal buying and selling windows can be only a few seconds wide. The rest of us can wait an extra second for our glowing red crystals on our iPhones.
I will be leaving that as an exercise to the student, I want all of you to go home and try sticking your hand into the lawnmower both while the blade is spinning and when it is not. I then want you to compose a short essay on the relative differences and merits of both methods. Mor this assignment I will make an exception and allow a dictated or recorded response rather and a typed one.
No, the internet as YOU know it will be dead. Not every internet user lives in USA. Your country will likely become much like China, either you follow the rules or you find tho tolls to get around it. My guess is that if such a "iPatriot" act were to be passed much of the high tech industry would just leave USA for other countries with less restrictive laws. I personally live in Canada so what happens in the USA does have a certain effect on me, at least until we can get that idiot Harper out and fine a government with the balls to stand up for itself.
Yes well the entire space industry is built on the vaporized remains of a lot of poor bastards. So as cold and callous as it may seem, a few more man shaped shadows on the wall aren't terribly significant.
Not necessary, part of the new/. UI is a windows that opens with every single bit of trivia known by every single/.ter onl;ine at that moment so that we may prevent future screwups such as this. Lord knows us mods have a heavy burden to bear and we do strive to do our best.
In a properly designed system the pad calculator would include a private key shared with the auth server and create the password using the data presented and the private key.
Nope any hashing algorithm worth its salt(pun?) is terrifically divergent on even the slightest change to the input. Here's an example for MD5: md5 "password": 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 md5 "passwore": a826176c6495c5116189db91770e20ce md5 "pbssword": 65add8adcd26ea1af12b05f67fd50b97
As you can see the similarity of the inputs does not create a similarity in the outputs.
No it's still a bad idea, perfect example: at my high school all logins were handled through an NT domain with Kerberos. By bringing in my own laptoip and hooking it into the network I was able to execute an ARP Spoof on the login server and sniff password hashes off the network and students and teachers would login. I then had the ability to brute force those passwords as fast or as slowly as I wanted too, and guess what? A dictionary attack left me with a nice handful of teacher passwords which gave me access to all the Network shares, the E-Mail system and the Markbook system.
I also discovered that the default teacher password was weaker then the default student password(5 numeric vs 4 alpha)
So long story short, never assume that somebody needs to access your server to break a password.
If in 5 billion years we aren't MAKING our own suns I think it will have been a pretty poor showing on humanitys part (or whatever the hell humanity has turned into)

You act as if the two can't be combined, I would beg to differ.

Sorry I meant non-realtime as in rendering that takes minutes or even hours per frame.

Done, it's dead easy. Even on one with the USB logo on one side and the D-Link logo on the other I could still tell the difference.
Never said it wasn't, I was more trying to say the people who enable this option are idiots and deserved what they got.
Dammit Slashdot ate my include. Oh well if you can't figure out what it's supposed to be you really don't belong here.
#include
int main() {
printf("So do I\n");
return 0;
}

-1 Stating the stupidly obvious.

AC Because of mod points.

Well then you best hope he doesn't decide to play a game. Specifically not one called "Global Thermonuclear War"
