If we found one tomorrow there is nothing we could do about it now. We'd be better off spending the efforts on coming up with those paint it white options and testing them on rocks we already know about (that aren't going to hit us, and that won't when we deflect them a bit, but have similar characteristics to ones that might) to see if we can deflect them enough to make a difference. Then maybe having a look-see might be worthwhile...
Which word? Hence, is, the, who, can, defeat, to, WEP. Are the ones I used more than once and hence which "keep using" could apply to. So which one am I misusing? What's the real meaning? What's the meaning I seem to be using?
Anybody who can defeat MAC filtering can defeat WEP. Hence the only reason to use WEP is to encrypt, but anyone who knows how to snoop the transmissions can also defeat WEP. Hence WEP is useless.
Yes, it's got nothing to do with the fact that geography happened to put them on an island.
Centuries ago they got pissed off at the Europeans so they dug a large trench, creating the English Channel and generating some islands for themselves in the process.
It's wikipedia, the idea is to read the links - the article itself is an encyclopedia summary entry.
http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/inf11.html is the link from that page has a bunch of numbers. Of course massively biased source (I seriously don't think you'll find an independent study - the math is boring and the results not "sexy" enough for anyone without an interest one way or the other to do it) and I can't be bothered actually looking through them closely.
1. Solar cells are made from silicon, which carried in trucks and hence not carbon neutral. Every power source is not carbon neutral since it has manufactured components that were transported at some point. Of course once you have plentiful power from the nuke plants you might change that...
2. It'd be mighty expensive but you could just mix it back with the non-uranium rock you dug out and put it back where you found it... A lot of that waste also isn't waste, it's fissionable material that politically isn't used (because doing so gives you plutonium easily used in weapons).
3. In 20 years we'd run out if we just used uranium in nuke plants for all our electricity. Again allow breeding to plutonium and it turns into 2000 years...
4. The top 5 known recoverable uranium holders are: Australia, Khazakhstan, Canada, USA, South Africa - they make up about 2/3rds of the total. From a Western world perspective, that's a much nicer set then the oil top 5: Saudi Arabia, Canada, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait...
So maybe don't try and install a software package that has been updated to some new version and hence depends on other newer things which depend on newer things, and so on.
Point it at a one year old repository if you don't want to upgrade anything ever.
For me, if you couldn't tell your mother what you did with your friends or talked about with your friends, then you are living a double life. At least you are hiding enough aspects or life that the person you are at home is not the person you are at work or party.
It's not that you couldn't tell, it's that you don't want to shove it down their throats, or you live a very open life and bore your friends and family senseless - depending on which way we take that. If you are using your RSS feed shares to exchange pornographic links with your friends, I can see why you mightn't want them to be force fed to your mother. Even though you have no problem with her knowing about them and you don't do anything to hide them. There's a difference between hiding something, and not wanting it forced down people's throats.
I don't mind if my boss looks at my family photo album on the web. I don't really want it force fed to him though - mainly because it'd bore him to a coma which would make processing my pay problematic.
You must also have some very limited career opportunities.
I have a number of friends with whom I really can't discuss the details of my work day, since I'm not going to ask them to sign an NDA and they happen to be in a similar field. The company I work for sells a service to many clients - many of which are direct competitors (as in #1 and #2 in some niche that is famous for sending in the lawyers about IP issues on a shoot first basis), I'm sure not going to tell one what we are doing with the other. Does that mean I'm leading a double life? (obviously I'm not going to use google reader to send confidential material in the clear, I've drifted miles from the underlying story...)
I have family with opposing political views, they know my views I know theirs. If I was using google reader to share political posts with like-minded friends I wouldn't want them turning up on the screen of those family members - not because I'm hiding (again they can take action and look and find with no issues) but because I don't want to pick an argument. Do you really tell everyone everything, even when they clearly aren't interested and you know it will cause distress.
The athiest in the family will tell the religious Aunt that they don't believe in Jesus once and then both parties will probably just avoid the topic. Do you really believe that to not be leading a double life they would have to send all their anti-religious material that they are discussing with their friends to their Aunt.
I guess "hiding" is the wrong word, it's being selective about what you force down other people's throats.
You probably think everyone (including for-profit companies) should watch out for you lest you stumble
No I don't, but thanks for the huge assumptive generalization.
Solar energy isn't reliable, energy beamed from a satellite would be (well module the satellite getting knocked out).
Green isn't the issue, it's powering the laser weapons of the future. Nuclear is an option, though they are more cumbersome to move around and easier for the enemy to destroy.
Of course I don't know the real reasons, but they military isn't doing it just for fun.
And of course development costs were $0. They put all the parts they had in a box, gave it a shake, and they formed an iPhone with the left over parts organized nicely in piles to the side. And the software wrote itself, during the shaking process.
Did you intentionally miss the "just tell them what was said" part, or do you think that's illegal in most states too?
I don't think Google has done anything illegal, they've done something with unexpected consequences. People thought that when they shared something with the people A, B, and C that it was only being shared with them. And yes person B could share it with other people, that's expected. What isn't expected is it being shared with people X, Y, and Z by google (ie. not by person A, or B, or C).
The point isn't people trying to lead a double life, it's that they'd rather their exchange of porn sites with their friends now also be sent to their mother. They don't pretend to be different people, they just are just members of separate groups. They also don't expect complete privacy, if their mother wants to go searching she can probably find it all out - they just don't expect Google to take the initiative and put it on her reader screen.
It isn't the data (i.e. the contents of the items in the feed) which are "private", it's the fact that you clearly had some interest in them in order to put them in a list of some sort.
A teenager has a set of "friends", their school friends, their family, their church friends. previously they had shared a bunch of things with their school friends. Suddenly, it's all available to their family and church friends. So those two groups get a "hey look at what X is reading" message and a list of whatever the stuff was. There are many situations in which this is a bad thing (from the perspective of the teenager).
And yes the school friends could have passed that information along to the original person's family and church friends, but that's an entirely different thing. They could also record a phone conversion and replay it in front of them (or just tell them what was said), which is entirely different from phone company deciding to include the family and church friends on the call...
It's all about size and ease of setup on the ground.
The actual use is, your army is invading some country far away, and is setting up a base camp in the middle of nowhere and would like some power. Sure, they could carry acres of solar cells and lay out a huge shiny "please use this to target your weapons" array of solar panels. Or you could setup the rectenna, plug the coordinates the GPS reports in and have a megawatt of power next time one one the satellites passes overhead.
Allowing execution of arbitrarily defined scripts is a disaster in the making. The trust model is entirely wrong, for one thing. I understand now why the manufacturer didn't want to talk about, because no sysadmin in his right mind[*] would accept that someone outside the organisation should ever have the right to run arbitrary code on their boxes without prior vetting.
Of course if said software was installed in the first place then the vetting process is obviously completely worthless anyway...
Yes you wouldn't get enough velocity to make a it worthwhile, but spending more energy on the ground (well under the water...) doesn't matter. If you could come up with a way to use ten times as much fuel (for a given total weight) to launch a rocket than the standard approach, but have that fuel be used on the ground and not be lifted by the rocket it would be used in a flash (it's what a rail gun launch would be after all) - assuming you manage to not turn the people inside to smears on the wall...

You have a strange idea of "safeguard". This makes it more likely me see it coming. It still hits and kills us.
Some people like to watch the doctor do the injection, other people like to close their eyes. Both methods still result in the injection happening...

Because he's an idiot who didn't listen when they announced that the description was wrong and it was an unused prop, before actually auctioning it.

Car chases isn't all that police do. And NYPD already uses scooters, just not electric ones, which aren't much faster, random internet pic: http://www.trevorcarpenter.com/images/nypd_scooters.jpg
They use them for patrolling parks, traffic direction duties, bugging people at street marches, and so on.

Is studying to improve your performance also cheating?
How about taking stimulants so you can study more, like coffee or caffeinated soda?
That would violate some treaties I suspect...
So, that's the next step and it will be "accidental", typo by some flunky, power spike at the time too, sorry about that...
