Imagine shooting blindly at the sky, and your bullet making it to a life sustaining planet billions of miles away by sheer blind luck. Not even Davy Crockett could pull off a shot like that!
For those software engineers still convinced that they can craft the perfect, unbreakable, uncrackable security, you should take two hours of your life and go rent Titanic, the movie about the "unsinkable" White Star cruise liner. There's a valuable metaphore in there for you.
So we finally have evidence of what we knew all along: the movie industry is a snake nest of outright criminals. Not just figuratively, but of people who commit actual crimes.
Back in 1936 — 74 years ago — boffins accepted that about 3.3Khz was the accepted frequency that telephone calls are going to run on and it's been like that, generally, ever since.
Back in 1936, nobody expected they would have to scatter from the Lich King's defiles while a single player messing that up would cause a wipe.
When you have the deep pockets and lack of ethics that the entertainment industry possesses, you have all the right ingredients to take a minor civil offense and make it into a severe crime punishable by several years in jail. Just be glad that old people don't have those kinds of resources to send you to jail 5 years for walking on grass or wearing your pants too low.
This is exactly what I dreamed the future to be when I was a kid - holding a pocket-sized device in each hand while dancing the maracas like the titular monkey from Samba De Amigo
Zombies, violence in games, porn, now iPods... Australia was founded as a prison colony, and the recent hundred years of slacking off on discipline are now being reversed to return to the original island-prison roots. Expect more fun things to get banned soon.
It would serve to accomplish one thing - to show that the so-called "silent majority" the conservatives love to quote so much isn't necessarily as big they paint it out to be. Their opponents are numerous, and not so silent.
Police forces, for one thing, get an upfront budget instead of being asked to "police the country first and send us the bill later, we'll decide if we pay you back or not."
Okay, so the oil industry says that this sort of event is "a million to one" to happen, and we've had two within a few months. By their estimates, we've already reached a scenario less likely than Evangelion's Zero-Nine probability... or maybe, just maybe, these oil rigs are a lot less safe than they'd have us believe?
People need to learn that typing random stuff on your facebook page amounts to public confession, and will lead the authorities to your door for a lot of crap you thought you'd get away with.
It's been theorized that the Sahara used to be a lush verdant area. Perhaps this technique could reconvert it back to this once pristine state over the course of a few centuries of hard work?
How long until their crackdown on anything remotely fun spills to other countries? We have to help the aussies get their porn and zombie games back BEFORE their government does the same to US!!!

And even before it meant "lame", gay meant happy or enjoyable.
Like in the phrase "Happy to be having sex with other men."
According to the results white men like nothing better than Tom Clancy, Van Halen, and golfing.
I'm 5 minutes in the sun away from people telling me they "loved me in the movie Powder", and I still don't like any of those.

Let's just pray Slashdot never instates a "post as you type" feature.
Though that overlaps with narcissism and low self esteem.
The quantum computer is both a realistic ideal and vaporware hype, until a computer journalist examines the claims.

But how do they perform?
Is it 1999 already?

What I'd love to know is how they overcame the 3 GHz overheat barrier that has prevented this sort of processor speed until now.
I'm gonna sue slashdork!
By my best estimates, you have 1.68 imperial assloads to every metric fuckton.
