It's interesting to think how an auto drive car would function in such a scenario. I expect it would fail miserably (how would it even know the lights were out for example?), and even if it knew it could end up nudging out into the road until several cars were intractibly stuck in the middle (since all the cars would be acting the same), or it would act like a total asshole disregarding priority or right of way. And that's just one scenario where it might screw up and cause delays.
If only there was some sort of wireless communication technology that would allow the cars to 'talk' to each other...

Here, you dropped this 'was'. I found it down the back of the sofa you were just chilling on.
They... swim in it? Breathe it to wow people at garden parties? Err... wash their hair in it? Load water pistols with it for a bit of extra pizzazz? I think you should enlighten us!
Of course they swim in it. I mean, it's not like there are petrol-powered RC cars/copters/planes for sale in all good hobby/modelling stores.
A slow freeze allows ice crystals to grow large, which breaks down the cells. If you freeze something fast enough, those ice crystals don't grow as large, and the cells sustain less damage. I don't know if you can freeze something quick enough to reduce the damage to zero, but it's theoretically possible to keep the damage to a minimum.
Newsflash: All OSes have about the same amount of vulnerabilities (or are at least in the same ballpark). The difference is how many are actively exploited. This is why there's a perception of (desktop) Windows and Android being more vulnerable - their popularity makes them attractive and profitable targets.
Get this: sometimes, people have different workflows to other people!
I hit the Win key and start typing
Yeah, great...and if you don't know the name of the thing you're looking for?
Why install something you don't know the name of? That's like ordering a pizza and refusing to select the toppings, then complaining you got anchovies.
Here in the UK, an unregulated quango called the Internet Watch Foundation can block anything it pleases with no judicial or even executive oversight whatsoever.
Only if your ISP implements it. I don't have a list of which ISPs do and don't, but it won't be hard to find.
While it may taste great, fabada asturiana is very famous for its farting production capacity (as most meals that contain beans). Now imagine that in a spaceship... yep, recipe for disaster!

I'm British BTW (check the username)
Trend Micro saying "Online Games a 'Playground' For Organized Crime" is like ADT saying "Private Homes a 'Playground' For Organized Crime".
It's not all bad though - shares in champagne makers are up 20% :)
Gaming's no longer a Windows stranglehold, not since Steam was ported to OSX and Linux. Windows is still #1 for games, but the gap is closing.
Is there someplace with both the same level of security and a less invasive government?
I was going to say the UK, but based on the last couple of months, now I'm not so sure.
I think Germany may just be the answer to the question. Any Germans (or non-German residents of Germany) willing to confirm/deny?

Just because the headless chicken continues to run around the yard does not mean it's alive.
Mike the Headless Chicken lived for two years with no head.
That's a nice rant, but the US is and has always been a Republic, not a Democracy.
These terms are not mutually exclusive. Generally speaking, Western Republics are democracies.
And a user could simple go to netscape.com and click Download to get Netscape instead of IE.
Apparently.. that simple step was deemed an "inordinate amount of effort" by the courts and we all know what happened..
Of course. After all, it had nothing to do with abusing a monopoly position to eradicate competition in a new market sector. </sarcasm>
Thanks..... who the heck measures a liquid by weight?
It's done all the time in motorsport, as weight (or more technically mass) doesn't vary with temperature.
Down the back of the sofa? It's somewhat of a moot point though, as there's far fewer outdated versions of iOS live compared to Windows/Android.
It has been cut down just to get the parts "working". But it isn't a complete Office.
It's close enough for 99% of users. If they can type things and change the font occasionally, they'll be happy.

I'm willing to bet 99.999% of the UK population have never heard of BBC Parliament.
Yes, that's right Britain, there's an entire TV station dedicated to broadcasting debates in both Houses.
Disclaimer: I've never watched it. But at least I know I can.

He would have told the French we were spying on their nuclear tests.
To which they would probably have replied, 'Yeah, we guessed they would be'.
I think it would also be fairly appropriate for them not to use a code that is already in use (in this case by ActiveSync).
Except its use in ActiveSync is non-standard.
If the content itself has been taken down, e.g., what happened recently with Freedom Hosting, a 5xx code would make sense.
5xx codes are for when the server screws up. If a site has been taken down, then you serve a 4xx code.

So basically a lot of crackers in a neighborhood means a LOT of crime. Common sense.
I think we're doomed as a civilization because we are offended by observable, repeatable, predictable reality.
FTFY
But if we get rid of the crackers, what will we have with our cheese?
This is the plot of T Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities
Which is a story. The GP never said where he read the story, did he?

Or a nifty way to top up the fuel tank :)
