There are side effects. My CPU gets hotter than if it was idle. This might be an intentional side effect.
I've used this "side effect" to get some ants out of my notebook PC. Nope I didn't see any food in the notebook PC when I opened it up to "debug" it, saw very many ants though...
Meh, did the Top500 list actually advance supercomputer design in the first place?
I thought it has always been a mostly pointless pissing match "where winning is dependent upon who can cram the most cores into a single room" just like you stated.
Or probably more accurately - "who has the most money to waste/spend on building a supercomputer".
Many extremely violent crimes are done by people who don't think very well (insane, stupid), or get caught up by emotions (anger, desperation etc).
Whereas psychopathic and sociopathic lawyers are often very good at dispassionately figuring things out and deciding what the optimum action should be for them (even if it means harming innocent people).
If lawyers who do such stuff start getting executed regularly, they will certainly stop doing it.
I'm not saying this is the right thing to do of course (to me throwing them in prison for _fraud_ and/or abuse of the legal system could be deterrent enough too).
China's CA certs (e.g. CNNIC) are shipped with popular browsers.
So maybe this is a countermeasure, e.g. if you don't get a scary browser warning when using https on a.mil site it could mean China has MITM'ed your https connection;).
Self signed certs are actually safer by default when this sort of thing happens and China actually tries to MITM you.
Because the browsers will warn you that the self-signed cert has changed.
Whereas if you rely on CA certs, by default browsers accept any cert that's signed by any installed CA. And China has their CA cert signed by Entrust and/or one of the other popular CAs.
As long as you have those CA certs installed, the browser won't warn you if somehow a Chinese CA is signing a fake cert for a brazilian web site.
To help against this, for firefox you can use stuff like certificate patrol.
Oh for Gyala Hatchery if you do the "long/back way" that's even easier than Eternal Grove (in terms of finishing with "Masters"). What you do is run right immediately and ignore the NPCs then go down all the way and clear out all the kurzick stuff (be patient and try not to get swamped). Then clear the kurzick bunch one by one and and make your way back to the NPCs at the start. Then you escort them to the end slowly through the mostly cleared path (some kurz will appear out of nowhere at some parts).
Is that the Eternal Grove mission? Once in a while it comes up as a zaishen quest then lots of people try to do it. Not all know what they are doing, but your odds get better:).
If it's you and your fiance doing Eternal Grove, I suggest bringing Eve for energy, and one of you being a minion master.
I have GW Nightfall and EoTN, so it's easier, since it means I get Heroes (who are AI companions with weapons, armor, skills and secondary classes you can change). Just another way for ArenaNet to get people to pay them $$ I guess. BUT it's really quite fun with heroes. It's a double edged sword though, it means more people "solo" missions (with non-player companions) rather than join other humans. Even with heroes, I can't "solo" Eternal Grove in Hard Mode though...
So if you can get EoTN or Nightfall cheap, it might be worth revisiting:).
I didn't finish Half-Life, started it, shot stuff, got bored, gave up. And Half Life 2 gave me motion sickness I dunno whether it was the FOV or something else wrong with the "camera" (alignment?).
For some reason I finished Crysis... I was starting to get bored at one point but a friend told me it was close enough to the ending, so I finished it instead of giving up:). I finished Doom, Doom II (not in nightmare mode though;) ) and AVP2 too.
The night club offers its VIP clients the opportunity to have a syringe-injected microchip implanted in their upper arms that not only gives them special access to VIP lounges, but also acts as a debit account from which they can pay for drinks.
This sort of thing is handy for a beach club where bikinis and board shorts are the uniform and carrying a wallet or purse is really not practical.
Yeah, I don't like the pause thing too. I switched Windows 7 to classic mode (well to as much classic mode as I could manage - it still does the preview hover thing), so now I get to see the window titles.
So now it's not so bad... I do like the sorting of task buttons by app, and the ability to pin apps so as to keep the order the same (and other stuff). Would be nice if I could change the order of the task buttons.
Also if you want partial match you have to use stuff like: foo* to match foobar and foobaz. foo by itself will just match foo.
Before I found that out, I was very annoyed and using grep -ir:).
But still, for some reason my start menu search doesn't do partial matches very well. e.g. I need to type resour* to find Resource Monitor, just resou or resour doesn't display _anything_.
You cannot secure a general purpose system administered by an ignorant end user.
Sure, but this will help those who aren't ignorant end users, and also help ignorant end users using a system that's administered by someone who is not ignorant.
A company with professionals should be vetting software and should be telling users what software should and should not be able to run.
IMO, the software should be saying what type of sandbox it wants upfront. From a finite manageable set of sandbox templates.
The software could also instead request a custom sandbox, but a "custom sandbox and app pair" need to be signed by a trusted party. Either the OS vendor, or someone else with their cert installed (e.g. Corporate IT).
Rather than solve something harder than the halting problem (you often don't have the full inputs to the program), you just get the programmers to declare upfront what access the programs need, and if declared OK, the OS enforces the sandboxes.
That huge list of "Conquer Your Desktop" tabs/buttons needs to be a bit more descriptive right;) ?
FWIW, I don't mind keeping the tabs in the browser - I often do have very many tabs - I use TreeStyleTabs in Firefox. What would be nice is a way to quickly switch amongst specific browser tabs. Ctrl-tab doesn't do it - it just switches to the next tab in order of position. Whereas I want next tab in order of recently used.

There's also the "unhygienic" habit of pushing data onto a stack that is also used to tell the CPU what address to run from when it does a "return".
I actually find the eye-test thing in the later part more interesting.
A "looking round the corner" device is likely to be very expensive and so only useful to a few people.
What I'm very curious about is the claim that "the Chinese government holds a copy of an encryption master key" that a few of these "old media" made:

Yeah, what are they trying to do? Get someone killed?
Kinect can also be used by advertisers to see how many people are in a room when an ad is on screen,
That could be bad for those who are getting TV ad money.
When advertisers can actually measure the number of people walking out and ignoring the ads, they often start paying less for ads :).

Only recently found out that for Windows 7 search, to search just for files containing a word, you use contents:pattern
(which for some reason isn't documented here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/desktopsearch/technicalresources/advquery.mspx )
Also if you want partial match you have to use stuff like: foo* to match foobar and foobaz. foo by itself will just match foo.

The existing system doesn't.
Haha good catch!
;).
I wonder if there's some backstory to that
I wanted "alt-tab" behaviour (MRU), not "cycle" (position). I figured it out for Firefox: browser.ctrlTab.previews
OK after digging I found the equivalent in Firefox:
:)
about:config:
browser.ctrlTab.previews
Yay!
A company with professionals should be vetting software and should be telling users what software should and should not be able to run.

The software could also instead request a custom sandbox, but a "custom sandbox and app pair" need to be signed by a trusted party. Either the OS vendor, or someone else with their cert installed (e.g. Corporate IT).
