How many football fields will this satellite travel? How many Statue of Liberties high will this thing orbit?
That's pretty frightening. I would think this would be a pain in the ass to discover, and you'd end up replacing motherboards on servers/workstations trying to figure out why they kept crashing. I mean, who would flash their network card as a troubleshooting step?
Bike thieves are the worst kind of scum. Restricting someone from encryption is just ignorant. I guess this kid shouldn't use an ATM, credit card, or any other electronic transaction. Not to mention he shouldn't work anywhere where they use email, a database that encrypted, or even a secure web page.
I can see it now.... I'll be shopping at Walgreens.com and there will be popups on that say what kind of Hemorrhoid cream my boss uses, and that my Aunt Grace just bought a some warming KY-Jelly.
I bet Google and Yahoo would have the PR issues of The Pirate Bay if they put a big-ass pirate flag on their site, and the majority of their search engine content was designed to point you to illegal or grey-legal content.
You can't compare Yahoo and Google to The Pirate Bay. They are not even in the same ballpark. Yahoo and Google are trying to run a search engine, and it would be impossible to filter every link they encounter for the possibility of linking illegal content.
Simply, the Pirate Bay's focus is to provide links to large files. A good portion of those large files probably shouldn't be distributed without a license. Google and Yahoo by lack of exclusion to link to copyrighted content. The Pirate Bay was designed to link to copyrighted content, and does it by inclusion. As evidence... the big-ass pirate flag.
I'm 33 and currently getting more dumber. I thought it was all the alcohol killing off neurons. Now I can blame old age. I'll have another one! Cheers!
Where is The Flying Crowbar? I think it must be one of the most scary weapons ever. An unshielded nuclear reactor used to propel a unmanned flight to drop bombs and irradiate the USSR. Possibly one of the most frightening weapons ever attempted.
A good pinball game took skill. One thing I always liked was that giving the machine a nudge was part of the game. It semed like cheating. You knew if you pushed a little too much you'd be punished, but if you pushed just the right amount you got that double bonus. It was a thrill.
Seriously, sometimes I feel the line between science and magic gets fuzzy. A transistor one atom by 10 atoms? That's on such a small scale that is so hard to comprehend that it'd almost be easier to hand-wave it and just say "it's magic."
Call me old fashioned, but I think these things do run on magic. Being that they are using magic... I say.. They are witches... BURN THEM!
We have a Heart Scan program that uses synchrotron radiation. It's called EBCT, it's basically synchrotron radiation used for computed tomography used to create an angiography. This is used for calcium scoring, to detect calcification in vessels leading to the heart.
Why is this better than an ordinary CT scan? Less radiation for the patient. It's an order of magnitude less radiation. You can even go in many facilities and get a scan without a doctor's order.
Oh yeah, this isn't new technology. Our scanner is about ten years old, and the app to read it runs good old Windows NT 4.0.:D
Mechanical vibrations at 4.5GHz. Just think about that for a moment. A tiny piece of silicon, like a little tuning fork, wiggling back and forth 4,500,000,000 times every second. Without breaking or wearing out. It's not just electrons moving; this is a solid piece of material vibrating.
Is it just me, or does this comment read like really nerdy soft core porn?

Some things need to stay private.
The computer wanted to play nice game of chess, but you kept wanting to play Global Thermonuclear War
I also heard they are using weasels to keep the lawyers away.
All this data collected by Nmap isn't even a drop in the bucket compared to the ocean of data collected by Google and web advertisers.
Put your tinfoil hat back on and go watch Hackers.

Let's see $2.20 a day * 260 days a year (although I doubt they give them too many days off)
= $572 bucks a year
Let's plug it in The Global Rich list....

You are the 4,429,714,286 richest person in the world!
You're in the TOP 73.82% richest people in the world!
Why not use the one our tax dollars have already developed? VistA is the VA's EHR system.

Then again, I'm old fashioned.
I work in Cardiovascular Imaging. Synchrotron radiation != a conventional X-Ray they give you for a broken arm. Read the Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchrotron_radiation

Something about the $200 bucks I spent for a plumber to roto-rooter the tree roots out of my drain this week makes me think this is a very bad idea!
As a side note, roots that are growing in your sewer are not the best smelling things in the world.
Informative? It's humor you lost causes.
I got excited.... I thought it read....

How about a passphrase like '2beornot2be' I know they have less entropy than other methods, but I've always found this to be easy to remember.
'Peter Jackson had recently signed up to make after his own legal row with the studio over payment for the sequels'
Recent? This article is from June of 2005, a little shy of three years ago. Hell, I think the lawsuit was covered on slashdot as well.
