You don't need it to be a chain reaction for it to be a nuclear catastrophe. Have you heard of "dirty bombs"?
But it would be a scattering of radioactive particles, which were extracted from the ground in the first place. So they go back to where they came from.
At 1 volt, 200W translates to 200A. The voltage that the chip runs at is normally not much more than 1V. Some (maybe most?) of the coils will be closer to 12V but at some point there will be really high currents.
If you do that, your emails will simply fail to send as per these guys who discovered the issue. You're right though, at least it won't fall back to unencrypted transmission.
The sender of the email presumably owns the copyright of the email. The ISP would need the senders permission to circumvent the encryption if that was the case. As per my response to the first reply that mentioned TOS, I didn't see anything in there claiming such permission.
I didn't see anything in the Cricket Wireless TOS that requires giving permission to circumvent encryption. I skimmed through it though, so if you find something I missed, feel free to point it out.
to “circumvent a technological measure” means to descramble a scrambled work, to decrypt an encrypted work, or otherwise to avoid, bypass, remove, deactivate, or impair a technological measure, without the authority of the copyright owner;
I'm sorry you lost your friend to a drunk driver, but that link in no way shows any damage caused by the strip club. He was already drink driving before he visited the club.
>, watt represents momentary consumption and calories are a fixed mass of energy, so you can't directly compare them.
You you can, if you declare a rate of energy use, and a timeframe that the rate of energy is used over, you can work out how much energy is used
Not necessarily as I understand it. Electrical energy currently has to be stored as a potential within a chemical element. They aren't heavy because of the electrons they are heavy because a higher capacity battery literally means a bigger battery filled with a larger quantity of heavy chemicals.
That's not the only way to store electricity, it's just the least leak prone method we currently have. It's also partially my point - just because light has negligible mass doesn't make the battery light either.
It's interesting that your lightweight optical battery description happens to be for a house (immobile) and ignores the conversion between electricity, treating that as a separate piece of hardware. Completely useless for a mobile device, which is where you actually care about the mass of the battery.
My point was that if the vast majority of the ISP customers only download, they can't expect to have any symmetrical peering as there's no traffic to balance it out.
The problem is that the backbone provider they chose sends way more traffic than they accept.
And consumer ISPs give asymmetric speeds most of the time with EULAs that forbid running servers. It's pretty obvious that they'll accept more data than they send by design, so it's unreasonable for their peering agreements to assume symmetric transfers.
If my neighbour removes the mural from my mailbox (that I commissioned) because they think they're helping remove graffiti, then yeah, I'd say they're overstepping their bounds. That's an analogy of part of the rationale behind not hacking other peoples systems with the intent to remove malware.
I'm all for malware clean-up efforts, but there are laws and ethics that may prevent some techniques for doing so.
Technically XP didn't run on AMD64, you needed a separate OS called XP Professional x64 Edition. It shared the codebase with Server 2003 SP1, not with XP.
(to which Firefox and Chrome and all could have been ported, although - speaking as somebody who tried porting Chrome - that doesn't mean it would be easy)
Unless it uses assembly, it should pretty much just be a recompile. How dependent is Chrome on x86/x64?
The ONLY thing ASCII has going for it is its universality
While I don't disagree with what most of what you wrote, I'd like to point out that the regression of universality of log files is exactly why people are complaining. When stuff breaks, you want the diagnostics to be as simple and universal as possible.
Works just fine for me, I'm not sure what you are trying to claim with "my" logs being binary.
cat is a binary executable that knows how to interpret ASCII encoded binary data. Every single file on your computer is stored as a sequence of binary digits; its just the encoding that changes.
And "plain text" or "human readable" are well known terms that cover ASCII encoding, which is considered to be the opposite of a binary format. You were being unnecessarily pedantic.

Pu-238 is manufactured, not mined.
It's not, they expect it to melt by March next year.

Hey, if I write an email, I own the copyright, correct?
Worst case they aren't decrypting it, they are just causing the option to encrypt not to be presented.
That's still circumvention in my books. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/1201

With a clickbait summary like this, I actively avoided RTFA.

That's an indirect comparison.

mandatory 3 year warranty on any electronic goods
Citation needed. None of the electronics that have failed on me were covered by a mandatory 3 year warranty.
So what if light has negligible mass? The battery will still be heavy.

(Some of which were also branded Zune at one point - eg Music and Video)
Don't even start on the re-re-branding of the Bing/Xbox/MSN applications in Windows Store.
And a app store as a single and only supported medium of software installation
While I recognise most of your concerns, this is not one of them. Enterprise environments already have the capability to bypass the Windows Store.

"Never" is a bold claim. Are you sure that these hurdles would be insurmountable 500 years from now?
