The secret apparently is the production process used to utilize the strained silicon technology. It's one thing to have the theory and quite another to have it working on a large scale. And Intel is making use of both compressing and stretching the silicon, something that really enhances performance.
Companies used to put intentionally incorrect phone numbers in phone books, too. But this wasn't Linus' intent. He wrote that code years before SCO was founded.
The NSA and some other assorted government TLA agencies conducted a dry run. The results are not good. Apparently, many physical infrastructure targets can be brought down by cyberattackers.
This is price discrimination and happens all the time. Basically, you make the people who can (and are willing) to pay more for something pay more and the people who can pay less, pay less. (You maximize profits for both sections.)
Airline tickets for business travelers cost more because they can afford it. Don't want to stay over? Ticket will cost more. Prescription medication, too. Early adopters? Them, too.
This isn't wrong, per se. It is essential capitialism and does nothing to mitigate free trade.
Clinton was sleeping with a government employee! That's illegal! Talk about hostile workplace environment!
But still, only one president before him has been impeached. There was a Republican effort to discredit him. Who hasn't had an affair? (Not to trivialize things, but we *are* talking about politicians, anyhow.)
There are caps at the end of DNA, like the plastic thingies on your shoelaces. DNA cannot replicate the ends of strips (it requires a bit of area for primer) so you lose a bit of the strip every time you go through a replication cycle.
DNA telomerase restores the ends. I am not sure if mice live ten times longer. However, there is a danger of cancer if cells can multiply uncontrollably. (This is a cause of some cancers, actually.)
There is no legal duty to rescue, and this makes perfect sense if you stop to think about it. If you saw a homeless guy who was starving to death, and you could save his life by giving him ten dollars, would you have an obligation to?
Besides, rescues are dangerous. What if the fuel wasn't good and the guy crashes and then sues for the bad fuel? Ugh.
Current lie detectors don't work very well. http://www.motherjones.com/news/feature/2002/11/ma _148_01.html
But new generation lie detectors will presumably be based on fMRI technologies that allow the interviewer to directly look into the applicant's brain in real time. Different centers are necessarily activated to lie and this difference is distinguishable. http://www.findarticles.com/cf_dls/m1175/1_35/8226 1777/p1/article.jhtml
What? Seriously, is this guy trolling? The radiation emitted from a 20 nm gap is not 20nm wavelength. However, he is right that 20 nm light will be used to etch the photomasking required to make the processor and developing compounds strong enough to block that level radiation from where it shouldn't be is quite a feat in and of itself.
You don't have to prove general jurisdiction in California, which is the right to sue them for anything in that state. You just need a lessor showing of specific jurisdiction, which is easier to demonstrate and opens the door for the results of conduct in the state of California.
Mandrake seems to be the best Linux OS for newbies and laptop users. On my Dell Latitude D800, Mandrake 9.1 worked perfectly. The new release betters support, but Mandrake isn't just a newbie release but also for laptop users.
There's a legal theory for enabling evil acts. Pretend I leave my car keys in my car with the motor running. Someone drives my car away and hits someone. I can be sued by the person who got hit.
If I were designing a virus, I would code it with the ability to spontaneously adjust the value for x. It will randomly "mutate" and the one with the best travel time will win out.
In a motion filed late Monday in U.S. District Court in Delaware, SCO argues that Red Hat has no grounds to sue SCO, as SCO's actions against the open-source Linux operating system have not specifically targeted Red Hat."
What a surprise - CmdrTaco works in more of his notorious anti-Delaware hatred into Slashdot's so-called "news".
Hey pal, it's not the fucking "Wilmington Operation" or the "Newark Operation", nor the "Rehoboth Beach Operation". Its the "Santa Cruz Operation", and its about time we fucked those Californians up right.
I think that the US government should sponsor an ELV initiative that would create an entire class of small, medium, and large ELVs that share components and thus have lowered maintenance/manufacturing costs. Large and ones would carry space lab types of components, and the small ones would be extremely mission-critical because they would carry the crew.
Technology certainly exists to dock things by remote control. Thus, we can first shoot up all the parts the astronauts are supposed to work on first. After we have confirmed mating, we could have the crew dock with the parts module(s) and work. And then everything everyone would crawl into the return crew vehicle and they would splash down in the water somewhere.
To recover space parts, we could have a parachute/reentry module hook up and mate with it, preferably using the same standard dock the crew hatch would lock onto. Then the reentry module could initiate reentry and then use parachutes to slow everything down to a safe rate of descent.
This would have lowered launch costs, because we could scale the rockets depending on cargo. The crew vehicles could be over-engineered because they would be re-usable. And everything would be cheaper because a ELV costs around $100 million a shot while the Shuttle costs ~$700 million per. Finally, we could have many launches taking place all over the world. Basically, we could open-source the launchers and let everyone into space.
Also, this entire concept would take place really fast. We don't need another reusable space plane. We could just land on water. It's something we've conquered forty years ago and there seems to be no overwhelming need to step aside. If something like this takes effect, the need for the ISS would decline, but space exploration would start to move into deep space. LEO has to be conquered first, and I think this would be a nice first step.
I recently bought a Dell laptop and learned something in the manual that should scare the heck out of anyone. My laptop came with WinXP Home, and there is an Administrator account with a blank password. Obviously, this is liable to become a security breach.
The thing is that Dell or Microsoft believes in security through obscurity, since you can reach the Administrator account only by booting in Safe mode. But do you think Linux or MacOS would ship with anything like this?
The newer American rockets are basically updated attempts at Saturn V. They still fail because they try to add feature at the expense of safety. Someone should write up a realistic feature set and then stick tightly to it. No more features.
NASA at the time of Apollo 1 was pretty much where NASA is now: pie-in-the-sky engineering. Everything was assumed to go right; no options for failure were designed into the system. It was thus doomed to failure.
On Apollo 1, the cabin atmosphere was exclusively oxygen to simplify plumbing. The astronauts sat on "couches" of miles of wiring. The exit/escape hatch took 90 seconds to open in perfect conditions and swung inwards because no one wanted the door to pop open on re-entry. Everything was made out of lighter and easier to manufacture plastics. The Saturn booster had a shell supported by air pressure.
A wire on a seat eventually because chafed by the door. The astronauts had been warned beforehand that at the sign of even the smallest problem, even with communications, they were supposed to start working on that door. There were communication problems, but everyone was trying to resolve it rather than escape. Safeguards were passed over in favor of convenience.
Once the fire started, the astronauts had no chance to escape even though they were the only functioning systems on that craft. Their bodies were found in the precise positions their emergency duties would have been. One astronaut was trying to open a door held shut by tons of air pressure. Another was found trying to vent a cabin atmosphere poisoned by burning plastics, but the actuating lever had melted onto his hands. The last astronaut was found sitting on the seat; even in all the chaos, he stayed focused on his task of keeping Mission Control apprised on the situation.
The service personnel outside of the craft knew there was a risk the escape rocket would detonate, but some ran in a vain attempt to rescue the astronauts. None of the rescuers had proper gear and some suffered severe burns. All three astronauts had died because in the midst of competing with the Russians, the designers had forgotten that men were going into these contraptions. No one had given the astronauts a chance.
Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee died and the country was responsible enough to rebuild the entire project, from the ground up, the right way. I doubt we will see the same here with Columbia. NASA culture is to blame, but American culture is also to be indicted. At this point, we should give a few billion dollars to build a *good* space-plane, but our priorities lie in killing and dying in battlefields, and consequently our astronauts will continue to suffer the same fates on shoddy spacecraft.
My univ rests an encrypted VPN client on top of an unsecured 802.11b network. For a few days, a student in my class renamed his laptop SSID to match that of the school SSID. Anyway, his signal was stronger (being in the middle of the room) so everyone was effectively slashdotting him with VPN requests and no one was getting Internet access.
This proves the point that Windows isn't too shabby at screwing large groups of people over, too.

The interesting question is whether they get caught and how many merely are "inspired" by open-source code.

This is an example of a "qui tam" lawsuit. The private person is encouraged to play DA.
You see this also with environmental protections.

Personally, I use this rip/encorder: CDEx.

It rips, encodes, and names the files using the CDDB. Really good stuff. Uses LAME. Free.
Telomerase. DNA telomerase.
