"Christopher Cox, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, told the committee that bad code led the credit rating agencies to give AAA ratings to mortgage-backed securities that didn't deserve them."
What do they expect? Code can only handle preconceived models. If the programmers overlook something it's not like the code will fix itself.
These models are based off of incomplete information and it's up to us to fill in the gaps. We've never had subprime mortgages en-mass before and the model likewise didn't know how to handle them.
I think you misinterpret what the intention is. While voting is cast back to the US via the internet, these are still electronic voting machines in a designated location for military serving overseas to vote at. Registration is still subject to the same checking procedure and you can't just do this from home. What the worry is deals with the addition to internet encryption / security and not registration checks.
You could have gone with:
"Hey baby, I'm gonna get some scotch tape cause I wanna see your insides."
-or-
"If I'm scotch tape and your the vacuum then why don't we go release some energy."
-or even-
"If you want rapid pulses, I'll give you 1.2 inches a second."
but instead you went with:
Oh trust me, I "peel my tape in a vacuum" all the time....
No, the article itself will not be able to be used as prior art. If the Russians wrote down their findings somewhere though, THAT potentially can be used.
"...approved routes for the 500kph maglev trains..."
What the hell kind of unit is kph? kilos per hour?
Yes, it's kilos per hour. They had to use a unique fuel source to get it to go as fast as they wanted it to and Cocaine was the only fuel that would keep it running through the night.
Why would they ever go back to the drawing board with this drive?
This is a Consumer-level SATA drive. IF someone even gets by the size of the drive the next thing they'll see is the price. At ~180 bucks it's honestly a steal!
Even the most hardcore of gamers / power users would see that price point and say RAID Array, here I come!
This appears to be the most relevant site and it includes game rules. This does appear to be blatant Slashvertizing though and should probably be on the Idle page.
it would be interesting to see what a shifted sleep schedule does to this. Personally I have a very flexible work schedule and generally wake up between 11 AM and noon and go to sleep between 3AM and 4AM.
I actually feel the most creative around the 3-4PM area (which would be equivalent to most people's 10AM whereas around 7 or 8PM I start dragging serious amounts of creative ass unless I'm highly caffeinated.
I'm not saying that me alone shows this is relational to the time you normally wake up, but it would be interesting to find that out also.
yeah, I did mean 128b and not Kb. I agree it's possible, but very difficult. If you do incorporate IPv6 functionality it's impossible to accomplish in the proposed 301 bytes which is what I was talking about.
Way to misquote me, the exact quote is IPv6 addresses are 128Kb not 128K, not 128KB - 128Kb. If I'm not mistaken that's exactly 16bytes. He still has to implement the transfer protocol on top of that and he'd be hard-pressed to do it if 5% of his space is already gone.
Considering the address space of IPv6 is 128Kb, it would be difficult to meet your requirement of 301 bytes. You do have to consider though the physical size of the memory required to carry it. I have a 1GB micro SD card for my phone that's about.5in x.3in x.02in that I purchased for 30 bucks about a year ago. The physical space and cost to implement an 11kb space is on the order of microns and minuscule fractions of a penny.
Additionally IPv6 supports a ton of new features so the fact they can fit everything into 11kb is fairly impressive. Yes, if this were the good ol' days, it could have been done in ASM in bytes, but the additional security, multicast and autoconfig portions that are now handled by the implementation itself would still need space to run in software over top. If we're talking about enabling network devices like thermostats, you don't have a ton of processing power.
Last I checked Microsoft's Exchange Server works well only with IE. Unlike Gmail or Yahoo mail. Exchange is lousy with Firefox, Opera or Safari. Where is the choice?
Well that's easy, you get to choose whether or not you want it to work correctly!
I hope that clears things up and you can see how committed Microsoft truly is!

I didn't read the article, but from the summary I'll assume one of the forces is gravity.

Hell, how many geeks can say such phrases: "...was the phrase my girlfriend..."
baby steps man... baby steps.
On one hand the hardware is old and could probably use a revamp... on the other hand we did miss a few major bullets.
After all, NASA could have decided to run Windows ME with an Nvidia graphics card with an IBM Deskstar 75GXP

SHHHHHH!
that completely invalidates our excuse then:
"Honey, Would you put that beer down and go mow the lawn?!"
"Can't sweetie, it's time for my treatment!"

1)Start trucking company
2)... 3)Profit!
So this is actually a valid business model?!?

Well at least their trains will go faster than their server!
Um... Because the LaCie model uses two 1TB hard drives to store externally.
The big news is the single-drive capacity reached 1.5TB meaning that external multi-drive enclosure could now reach 3TB.
Why would they ever go back to the drawing board with this drive?

They're trying to appeal to two growing demographics: hardcore gaming mobsters and gangsta autocad designers

Actually, someone already has.
If their machine opens a gateway to hell, I've dealt with that before... I forget where.
It's really too bad though that they're just now getting around to releasing Windows 7.

whoops, I see the error. I did mean bits not Kb... I feel stupid and humbled, but you can see from the above statement it's still what I meant to say.

It's too bad it's such a weak force.
Geode is designed to work with websites that rely on knowing your location, such as mapping, geotagging services, and location-based advertising.
Hey, they've got to be making money off of it somehow.
