News about Wang's research comes at a time when there are considerable concerns about the security of the U.S. power grid. In April, The Wall Street Journal, citing anonymous national security officials, reported that cyberspies from China, Russia and elsewhere had gained access to the U.S. electrical grid and had installed malware tools that could be used to shut down service. Though the access hasn't been used to disrupt service, the concern is that the malicious hackers could do so with relatively short notice during a time of crisis or war.
I stopped buying CDs, tapes & stuff a number of years ago, when the record companies started suing their own customers. I used to buy 9 or 10 CDs a month, but haven't now for over 8 years. Their loss:-) I still have an extensive, dust collecting, collection, it's just old & will never be added to.
They can add whatever DRM they like, I don't give a stuff. Bring it on, it will only hasten their ultimate demise.
Didn't need fixing, mush. From the Ernie Ball story (see link further up)
Did you want to settle?
Never, never. That's the difference between the way an employee and an owner thinks. They attacked my family's name and came into my community and made us look bad. There was never an instance of me wanting to give in. I would have loved to have fought it. But when (the BSA) went to Congress to get their powers, part of what they got is that I automatically have to pay their legal fees from day one. That's why nobody's ever challenged them--they can't afford it. My attorney said it was going to cost our side a quarter million dollars to fight them, and since you're paying their side, too, figure at least half a million. It's not worth it. You pay the fine and get on with your business. What most people do is get terrified and pay their license and continue to pay their licenses. And they do that no matter what the license program turns into.
When you have some time to kill, just keep clicking the "Random Article" link. By gum lad, there's some shite on that there Wikipedia.
I edited once, my own village's page FFS, some of the dross on there was laughable, and obviously cribbed from some online tourist agency. After I corrected some blatant rubbish, some uber-tosser later reverted the edits, because apparently it was not a "NPOV".
I think you misunderstand. It's not the carrying of cocaine in your wallet/pocket/purse that contaminates the dosh, it's the snorting of it through a rolled up note.
They should be looking at the differences to see where convergence will generate a lot ^H^H^H little more money.
My prediction is that by 2020 films & their ilk will have all but disappeared, like lithographs in the age of photographs, or 16mm in the age of video. etc. etc.
Buying software designed to take the user 4 times longer to use, takes 4 times more key presses & takes a 4 times faster processor to do the same task as the "old" software, but it enables some sodding PHB to get a report in one click.

Only if you watch broadcast TV on it.
PS The license fee is not payable per TV, look it up:

Sorry, he wasn't making a joke, that was genuine trolling.
:-)
PS He wasn't replying to any comment I made anyway
You really don't have a clue, do you? The BBC is not government sponsored, neither is it a monopoly.
Prawn!.
Or keep your old telly & don't watch HD. Simple.
What a prawn.
To that new-fangled interweb.
Simple.
Why they are, is question simply answered with "stupidity".
Bye.
You, Sir, have hit the nail squarely on the head. A more "insightful" post I have not seen.

Ahh but, if you challenge them - you have to pay their legal fees.
Dark Colony ISTR had day/night bias.
Could be wrong though, it's from a good few years ago..
However
That'd be none then, zero, zilch, nowt, nothing.
Wonder how anything progresses these days...
Spot on.

100% of folding money has traces of Cocaine.
Beat that.....
There's always some sodding twat that thinks it would be brilliant to make the primary key an email address.
/.'ers used the piece of total twattage that is "Sostenuto"?
If they're not already burning in hell, I'd quite like to shove a bottle of Dave's Insanity Sauce up their ring.
Any
I don't have the words to describe how shite it is.
Smiff: "But it does send emails!"
It wasnae meant to sonny. Parse the sentence: "looking at the differences to see where convergence"

Don't forget Robert Goddard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Goddard_(scientist)) without whom there wouldn't have been an Apollo program.

To see who wins.......
No sense spending money obfuscating, perverting "standards" or extending, if they can halve the amount, just with a few days/weeks waiting...
I now get a couple of shed loads less spam. I used to check the apam directory for false positives. Don't bother doing that either.

Go gmail
Yellow snow..
Yabbut. Local govt & the uni's are not connected.........
Wish they were. Imagine students, studying IT, getting paid to remove crap from numpty Civil servants PCs? Ooooh the irony.
Irony is like steely. OK it really isn't.
