Really?? Is that really all you have to say? To me this seems like a "pull" service, not a push service. This means that you would not have the ability to "push" a virus to a remote system, but would be able to pull a compromised file from a remote location.
Even if you could push files out, you would still need the remote computer to run the file, so it's really no different then a p2p application. Bashing the app (or more likely MS in general) when this "security hole" is neither unique to windows nor this specific application is childish.
Perhaps. It's well known that the most efficient way to get power from a hamster is to use them as a fuel source for a conventional boiler/turbine combo.
First you would need about 15 billion hamsters for a low power notebook. Your desktop/monitor would likely take around 400billion hamsters (.4 terahamsters) or assuming an average mass of 100g, 40 million metric tons of hamsters.
I don't know about that. It's already easy to grow at home. You could grow tobacco at home too, but how many people do that? I would prefer to go to the cornner store, get a pack of blunts right then and there, than setting up a grow room and waiting for the crop to mature. It's too much hassle. Sure there would be some people that would do it, but I think the majority would just buy the end product.
Right now people pay $200+ for an ounce. Even at that price it still sells. I don't know if the gov't would be able to get that much for it. Just a thought, I'm no economist...
Wow, you should be a biologist... Maybe you could use some of this wonder herb, then perhaps you could remember how use 'flea' in the right context (a dog's back).
I WISH I could use IE7. I am stuck in a tabless world with IE6. One day I went to the Windows Update site and downloaded IE7 and installed it on my work computer. Several weeks later someone dropped by my desk and asked that I uninstall it. Lame. From what I hear in CAB meetings though, we should be getting it soon (maybe before summer).
Killjoy. This is cool stuff. I would guess that the COW is a trailer and the COLT is a truck. I've always been facinated with satellite communications, and this looks really neat. I would love to be the guy that gets to drive that beast in, fire up the generator, press button one for the mast and radios, then button two for the auto aligning satellite. All this while onlookers stare in wonder.
On another note, this must have taken A LOT of planning. You usually can't just throw more cells in all willy-nilly. They would have to lower power on nearby cells and maybe even temporarily put cells on different frequencies to free up space for these microcells.
Let me take a shot Yvan. The car does travel trough space, but not through the void of space. The car departs from a mall parking lot, then arrives at the same mall parking lot one minute later. Sure, earth has moved 1000km or so in that time, but you are not thinking fouth dimentionally. The car (and the dog) never experianced that minute, so to the dog in the car, nothing abnormal would have appeared to happen. The car never "Travelled" through space. It was in one location and time, then another. There is no transition.
Well, Mr Fusion was far from perfect. If you recall, they were unable to use it in BTTF3, and had to use the clock tower's lightnint. It is likely that the wiring was substandard and that the intense power melted the wires. You have to remember that the Flux Capaciter would help with voltage spikes, and it's what ultimately makes time travel possible.
Oh by the way, there are EXACTLY 1.21 jiggawatts of power in a lightning strike.
I read an article about this or similar technology several months ago. Sure, light doesn't do through walls, but that could be an advantage. You could setup a wireless network that asctually stops at the building perimiter.
The other article (not sure if this one does didn't read it) indicated that this technology could be incorporated into LED lighting. Basically your overhead lighting would become the access point. There would be recievers in the room as well that would pick up your transmissions and presumably put them on some sort of physical media (cat6, fibre). Pretty neat, but to me sound extremely finicky.
You have the right to challenge that the equiptment was used properly and has been maintained properly. You do not have the right to challenge the equipment in the broader sense (the rader gun in general).
I talked to my Dad about this one day (He's a provincial Judge) and he said that this defence would be unlikely to succeed in Canada. He said that the government has approved the use of the intoxilizer for measuring BAC, so it's not the court's job to determine if the device is accurate. The Law makers say "this is the tool that you use, if this device says that you are drunk, then by definition you are".
Granted, I just brought this up at the dinner table, and he didn't have all the facts before him, but he has worked with alot of DD cases, so I trust he knows his stuff.
I have a qbenrocksp keyboard at work. I just pulled off the keys and rearranged them leaving the first and last letter the same. People often sit down, look at the keyboard for a few seconds, and then gingerly start hunting and pecking, sending gibberish to the monitor.
Funny you say that. There was an earlier comment earlier that also said a similar thing. I live in Calgary, AB, and downtown along 4th ave the lights are all synched for about 10 blocks or so, but only if you speed. The limit is 50, but you have to go about 60 or you start hitting yellows.
Why is this? Can there really be that many Traffic Controllers that screwed up on the calculation? Is it so that police can sit on a corner at night and catch speeders? I don't get it...
RAmen to that! I RAGE when I have to call 1 800 India support. I hate the scripts they use, I hate the thick accent, and I hate having to be somewhat civil when all I really want to say is "get someone that can actually speak english on the phone". It's terrible when you call with a pretty good idea of what you want, but due to the communication barrier, you can't be sure what you are asking for, is what you will get.
How many times have you had to clarify something, three times, to the person on the other end, and after that, are still unsure if they have a clue what you want?
microwave for a couple of minutes would do the trick?
Unlikely. Your HDD has a metal case that would keep the microwaves from penetrating to the platters. If you were to put it in the microwave, you would likely get some sparking/smoking from the controller board, but the acutal platters likely wouldn't even get warm.
Energy Star deals with electricity consumption in operating and standby modes. I think that this discussion is about more general "greenness". How much water is the factory polluting? How many cancer causing chemicals are present in this product? What is your recycling plan, and how many 3rd world countries does it include? Etc, etc.

This just in: Water is wet!
This legislation is just a waste of time and money.
Look at it this way: At least they weren't legislating your freedoms away.
Let's hope so...

Mod him flamebait, but he does have a point. Bashing MS is lame. It takes no wit.

The PS3 can run linux, but not access the goodies of the PS3. I understand that it doesn't emulate a useful computer, but still.
I remember playing this on my TI-83 during high school.
I guessed it first try... ftp.mozilla.org No brainer. Granted my dad/mom would have been S.O.L.

I think that Canada is a little different.

But dont take my word for it, try it! Your work has a microwave, no? Or just watch this crappy video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRU7yEEgRaw
