"Hey we need something to make the coat of arms look more modern" "How about that code in the matrix?" "Just put a bunch of 1s and 0s along the bottom"
And then an intern typed enough 1s and 0s to fill up the available space, trying to make it look random.
That works out to about $200 per machine. In what, electricity from no CPU idle?
Birdwell said the massive software slowed down educational programs in every classroom and cost the district more than $1 million in added utility fees and computer replacement parts.
Pretty much, not sure why this is a story. There's a little to be said for increasing muscle mass, and that's about all.
“It all comes down to energy balance,” or, as you might have guessed, calories in and calories out. People “are only burning 200 or 300 calories” in a typical 30-minute exercise session, Melanson points out. “You replace that with one bottle of Gatorade.”
In other news, water is wet and the sun is bright.
Exactly right, this is a capitalist society, ran on making money. If they won't integrate safety systems to protect the system properly from hacker attacks, hit them in the wallet, hard.
This is the fundamental point. Those with the ability to secure the system need to be the ones paying for breeches. Bruce Schneier had several good articles around this point. The main example being banks/credit card companies paying for fraud. If they could just push that onto the customer, there would be far more instances of fraud. Instead, they take responsibility for the whole system and customers are far better off for it.
Multi-world interpretation is correct and LHC is just a variant of quantum-suicide experiment.
That's what the birds want us to think. The truth is, they planned this, and there's more to come. We cannot allow even one more baguette to fall on the LHC. We must strike back.
Mature games == games for teenagers. Rather than games that an adult might enjoy.
I completely agree. As an adult I'd never play play a fps. I'd definitely not equip incendiary weapons and light my enemies on fire. I'd also not employ electrical weapons to shock them to death. Using the corrosive shotgun to disintegrate people is right out. I find absolutely no joy in any of this. Especially explosives, who needs them when you can play wii bowling.
The new spin is that they have been convicted of being an accessory to copyright infringement but there is no specific instance of copyright infringement having been associated with the charge.
They most likely provided substantial examples of infringing works that just weren't contested. TPB's stance seemed to be "we're not hosting the content" not that it wasn't being indexed.
I'd be more concerned with what exactly being an accessory to copyright infringement means. Link to a blog that contains an unlicensed song in a parody video? Investing in Xerox?

Now we can finally get rid of all those meddling proxies and exit nodes!
Damn those enemy combatant hacker-terrorists polluting the RAIN-clouds and causing your PVR to miss recordings!
One does not simply censor 4 SIMULTANEOUS posts.
Piracy is just the new socially acceptable temper tantrum.
Well said. That sums it up better than anything else I've heard.
The performance of a 512-node Anton machine is over 17,000 nanoseconds of simulated time per day for a protein-water system consisting of 23,558 atoms
So... how many libraries of congress per second??
... that our universe is some kid's kitchen science experiment.
.. and thanks for all the fractals.
Now they can enforce the no cell phone usage while driving! Even those pesky key presses won't be able to hide!
We need some targets out there (space stations, moon base, mars base, something) before traveling in space makes any financial sense.
Just release the next ishiny on the moon. They will come.
Please excuse the others saying how going first is wasteful/stupid/reckless, they do not understand.
Thanks for helping to push us forward.
You missed a requirement: easy for the students to remove by hand
He didn't say what that hand was holding...
I don't even know if I'm joking.

We just all went up a spot!

All of them!
YOU LIE!
oh... wait...
Looks like ice cream, Batman, and football are the culprits.
Fraging amongst their prey?
Now I have an image of a shark at a lan party stuck in my head.
... and there was no mention of laser beams (frickin' or otherwise), so move along now.
how precisely do you determine that it is not a GPL violation?
Lawyers. Lots of Lawyers.
I doubt it even cracks their top 20 complicated legal issues.
the GPL, a widely used (including by the Linux kernel) free software license
Woa, woa, woa. Next you'll tell me it wasn't created by Linux Torvalds.
