The Flu Vaccine doesn't stop you from being a Carrier, it helps your body fight the virus more effectively. So getting the flu vaccine doesn't help those around you (except you may not be infectious for as long).
I dunno, considering the kinds of people who populate Girl Genius, having a Poison-dispensing machine fits right in. I imagine the Sparks (unstable geniuses) or their minions might take the poison for fun to test their ability to diagnose and cure it while suffering from the effects, or use them on their enemies
Check out the end of Paragraph one on page 3. They assume that strange activity (which they attribute to account hacking) in 3 people's e-mail accounts is coming from Wikileaks. So the US Intel service wouldn't want to know what these people were doing?
I often get royally annoyed with many journalists who don't take the frigging time to link back to a scientist's actual work or to some more information. I used to place more faith in journalists, but these days I usually want to know more about original sources and studies to see if what they're saying is born out by the evidence.
so, destroying the heart of a modern city Doesn't have a massive emotional impact on the people who live/work there? They Wouldn't be worried about more of the same happening, but where they live? As noted before, just throw enough rocks and you don't have to worry as much about accuracy, and it's highly unlikely that anyone would be able to defeat them all.
they're mostly talking about gestures, not typing in a pin, at least from my reading of the article. now if there was a set of gestures, and the phone displayed a shape and wanted you to complete a randomly selected (or user-chosen) upon setup gesture, that would increase the complexity of the cracking process. so instead of My Password Gesture, there would be 4-5 shapes (noises? videos?) with a corresponding gesture. not infallible, but would take it to the next level.
I've worked in schools where the teachers have the kids do that as the correct way to type capital letters, it made me want to shake and cry. Surely being able to use two fingers at the same time on Shift and the key you want is a basic typing skill??
Getting the runs is your body's way of dumping a bad intestinal problem, it's normal and as long as it doesn't happen so often that you get dehydrated, you should be fine.
o Rly? You reckon you've got it hard? The Continental USA (excluding Alaska) is smaller than Australia, yet we have a population less than that of the greater LA basin (about 22 million all up last I saw). Now I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying you've got it easy compared to us.
What about using auto-generated usernames and pws for customers? I've seen systems that are set to print out a 1-day access account at the press of a button, you could set that to 5, 10, 15 mins and do it that way.
YMMV. I went from a regular keyboard to a MS Ergonomic 4000, and my speed went up 10 wpm (55 to 65). Repeated typing tests, back and forth between the two models. The 4000 is split, and slightly raised, so the arms aren't forced into quite the same sharp angle as a regular keyboard. I have perhaps a slightly wider shoulder than some, and large hands, so again, ymmv.
Exactly! We've learned all the wrong lessons from foreign politics, with things devolving into the blame game and personal insults, rather than actually getting anything done.
2. The Karman line is the generally accepted edge of space at 100 km (62.5 mi). This is where an aircraft would have to fly so fast to get lift from the thin air that it would achieve orbital velocity in the attempt and so wings would be superfluous. The US has awarded astronaut wings to pilots flying above 50 miles. This doesn't change the objective criteria of the Karman line.
Oh, fucking bullshit. Someone in Europe arbitrarily chose 100 KM as a nice round number, then came up with a bullshit derivation after the fact to justify it. It's no more objective than 50 miles

Wikipedia on the Karman Line
Theodore von Kármán, (1881–1963) a Hungarian-American engineer and physicist, calculated what approx altitude would force you to achieve Orbital Velocity (27,000 kph) to stay there, and came up with about 100km. It's not exactly 100km, and it varies slightly, but it is indeed a nice round number, so they decided to keep it.
Some online vendor sites have started requiring that you use IE8 to access the site, apparently because Mastercard is forcing them too. My company's standard is IE7, good thing I'm in IT so I have the rights to install 8 on one workstation for when I have to buy software from that company-selected portal that requires IE8 now...
A contract isn't enforceable if the terms involve a criminal activity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contract
First the malware writers would have to know that you're doing the work (not impossible I guess), and then they'd have to bring charges or sue. What DA or judge is going to agree to try/see that kind of case? How would it look on their record, they'd never get elected to anything ever again.
Perhaps we need a "Simpsons did it" Corrolary for science/medicine done outside the USA previous to the current example, something like "Not First", followed by a link to whomever did it first. Like when everyone was talking about some American (or Canadian?) scientist doing work with RISUG, with no mention at all that the entire technology was invented in India (pity they didn't manage to mass-produce the compounds vital to the project).
Actually I've seen docos where it's Quite visible, they scoop up samples of the water and it literally looks like plastic soup, albiet something only that plastic creature from Doctor Who would see as palatable. Remember that it's being added to all the time, so you'll find large chunks that are newer/tougher, all the way down to the microscopic particles that are older/softer.
Unless your job involves creating original work. In the tech world, emulating existing/proven network designs, hardware configurations and software installations leads to a stable environment and a happy boss. But if you're a software engineer, copying everyone else's code and pretending it's your own isn't good form. If you take multiple (attributed) objects and combine them in a new way to do something useful, That's good form, but avoiding citing your sources can lead to very unpleasant discussions later on.
As a tech at a government funded state high school, my boss and I regularly ask for ideas/examples from other schools, and copy what works, modifying if necessary for our environment. The Education Department already paid for the idea to be developed by one of the other technicians, it only makes sense to get as much value out of it as possible.
This does what IT companies across Australia have been pushing for since Telstra started being privatised, it separates the network installation and maintenance side of Telstra from the sales and service side, creating a flatter competition arena. When this actually comes into force, Telstra will compete with all the other Telcos to buy network access from the NBN organisation, without having either special access to the network, or having to pay to maintain the lines while being forced to allow access at (what they claim are) non-competitive rates.

I think they're more worried about people just buying gear, not hacking it together.

even simply adding an apostrophe to make it "Daily Kos' pollster made up numbers" would be more informative
