Obviously you do not understand basic meteorology.
Higher average temperatures, while bad in and of themselves, will also cause temperatures to drop in places they have previously been higher in.
Also, most models I'm aware of put a catastrophic, possibly extinction-level event out between ten and one hundred years. In the lifetime of a planet, that's not very long at all.
I fail to see how a time line that short should not scare anyone shitless.
You know, the FCC's definition of "high-speed internet" is 768 Kb/s downstream. I think I'd rather go outside than wait three days for my porn to download, thank you very much.
*nix and *BSD are the most-used OSes for servers, period. There are many, many more servers out there than desktops (nobody has a desktop farm, after all), and people running servers are generally a LOT more concerned about security, stability, etc, because their jobs can depend on it.
So I guess average user computer experience is also a factor (which explains why Macs have so few reported vulnerabilities compared to Windoze).
1 - Microsoft says they learned from their mistakes, and have been deconstructing Windows to remove bloat, and make the whole thing run faster. Windows Server can even run sans-GUI now, and they're building up from a minimalist stack. This is a really good thing.
So, what you're saying is, Windows can now do things OSes like freeBSD have been doing for years, for free.
You DO realize that TPB is a TRACKER, NOT a host, right? They don't do anything besides host the.torrent files, and point peers to other peers. Not a single bit of what you download is ever on their servers.
So don't blame them, blame whoever put it up there.
If your firewall won't even allow a program to listen on a port, you're not going to be using the internet. At all.
And most trackers couldn't care less how much you upload, only private trackers care, and even then, some don't.
FTP is horrible for large downloads. You're downloading from one server, which is also serving other users, and so must split up bandwidth, etc., while torrents allow you to download from many sources. Plus, if the FTP server goes down, you're either stuck using a mirror that gives you 10 Kb/S, or not downloading, while a torrent won't go down as long as there are people downloading/seeding.
Basically, work on fixing the stuff that affects everyone, not the stuff that will get you on the news.
Of course, this will never happen, because fixing the stuff that really needs fixing isn't as good of a headline.
You're assuming, of course, that IE8 actually DOES have anything good about it that every other browser out there doesn't.
Actually, you're also assuming IE is even well-known enough then for anyone to care.
Basically, a theory of everything would allow someone that knows every possible affecting variable in a given system, save one, to find that missing variable.
At least, that's how I understand it.
He obviously doesn't care about accuracy, so why should he be thorough?
This way, it makes it seem there's a lot less secured DBs than there really are.
Well of course a transmission on the same frequency with a higher amplitude is going to mess with yours, IT'S MORE POWERFUL. I odn't see what this has to do with the topic at hand...

...and in no case could it get the cpu any _colder_ than the outside.
Phase-change cooling begs to differ.

Easy way to tell if an IP is being used: ping them, or send a TCP SYN packet.

Let's not forget XSS attacks, this is the kind of thing they're perfect for.

What the hell kind of world do YOU live in?
Which is why you don't use Tor unless you're using it with an encrypted connection.

I think running onto a freeway naked is safer than easting at McDonald's...
Yes, start a food-for-bandwidth program.
Yes, but, supposedly, it reduces power consumption, and has a larger L2 cache (unless I failed miserably at basic math).
So, basically, the Q6600 is still king of the quad-core world (at least until Phenom comes out, maybe).
Do you honestly not realize that EVERY programming language is compiled into ASM? The irony is unbelievable...
Ignoring how obviously biased that post is, it does bring up some good points.
Albeit points that have been noted in basically everything our government now does, but good ones, nonetheless.
You know what I'd like to see? A techie running for president. We seem to be the only ones that make any damn sense any more...

Oh, god, don't give them that idea. We'll see it in law within five years...
