Being a vendor in the semiconductor industry whose client's business is strictly DRAM, this is very good news. Finally a reason to buy an assload of ram and rid the market of some of the DRAM glut that's built up.
Build a system with more ram slots and the users will fill them.
i doodled throughout school. I told my teachers that it was my way of staying awake and attentive. I'm glad somebody did the research to validate my BS.
this guy doesn't seem a half way bad pick. of course if it was my call i'd eliminate the whole DHS nonense and just fund the FBI,NSA,CIA and police properly. if those 4 agencies can't get it done wtf is the DHS going to add?
DHS adds funding for the Coast Guard. Before the DHS nonsense, the CG was within the Department of Transportation. Not really enough money in the pot for the CG to keep a modern fleet and perform all of it's various rolls.
Actually, that's about the only good I've seen come out of DHS.
You should also tax backpacks and suitcases because you can hid weapons and terrorist paraphernalia in them. Also, loose fitting clothing, over-sized jackets and hoodies should also be excessively taxed because criminals tend to wear them. Computers and cameras should be taxed because they assist in the generation and spread of child pornography, terrorist communication, file sharing, and ill morals. Hell, while we're at it, we should excessively tax anything that was not available before 1965 because life was better in the 50's and 60's before all that shit showed up. We can just tax ourselves right back to leave it to beaver land and everything will become peachy keen.
...just how many MMOs are going to shutdown in the coming years. All that time and money invested into digital character that goes away with a CEO signature and never seen again.
Guess the good news is this MMO isn't shutting down anytime soon.
If NASA could make a flash game out of their laser controls, they could easily recruit all the operators they would need to blast down the debris via teenagers on the internet. It'd be the 2010 version of Asteroid.
The water is actually for the sharks. Space-junk shot by lasers, lasers go onto sharks, sharks go into water, water goes into space. Keep up, this isn't rocket science...
This matches my mental image of Sarah Palin going "pew! pew!" as she tries to explain how the lasers on the sharks will clean up the space debris.
I think the managers do... Manager #1: Doesn't look like liftoff will happen before our tee time. Manager #2: Well, there is that leak issue the engineers were griping about... Manager #1: Great--blame the leak, scrub the launch, let the engineers do their fix, and let's try again next launch window. Got your clubs with you or do you need to stop by home first?
It hasn't been successfully recovered from, to my knowledge
I did that when wiping some old drives at work, and then I taco'ed the platter, glued on some inductors to make feet, and constructed a shiny, geeky napkin holder.
if you mean "crowded around a computer screen to watch entertainment" to include the 32" TV that's hooked up to my computer in the living room, then I'm okay with it.
it's actually quite comfortable sitting on the couch, feet on the coffee table, keyboard in the lap, beer in one hand, googling away while your favorite show is playing in another window.
So... are the scientists that frustrated with the Aussie internet filter that they're employing a quantum key encryption system just so they can get their porn?
I could baste my old magnetic HDs in chicken broth and feed them to these "magnetically enhanced crocodiles" as a way to destroy my precious personal data?
Sounds like an awesome start to a toilet bomb prank.
Wasn't there an anime based on this?

I think there's an anime about being able to customize your offspring, Gundam Seed or something like that. They called the humans with edited/selected genes "Coordinators."
All I know is if it creates a universe where I get to fly around in space in giant humanoid robots, I'm all for it.

Cavity searches? Pffft. The goatse man can carry all of the music and movies (in HD) ever made.
While using 10 year old media and using uncompressed formats.
...data mining human interactions
Depending on what human interaction they're mining, I might be in favor of strip mining.
Everytime I get my hands on storage I'll "never be able to fill", I usually find that my definition of "never" is not what we see in dictionaries :)
I tried to explain my definition of "never" to my ex-gf in regards to storage/cheating-on-gf. She wasn't too happy about the 3-4 month time frame.
The last one was March 14, 1592. There will be another in 13917 years.
Sweet! I'm going to make sure to keep my schedule free that day, cause I'm going to party like it's 3.14159!

Do you allow Phil Reitinger to be the top cyber security official?
(Okay)
Fixed that for you.
There goes any chance of the DHS switching over to an linux/unix environment in the next decade.

Why would you buy a computer at office depot?
Because you need something with enough mass to make it through the store window when you plan on returning it?
Because you don't feel satisfied with a computer purchase unless you know you've been ripped off?
Because Office Depot is the only place that will extend you credit because you put a months worth of hookers and blow on your creditcard?

I used the money I got from burning rips to DVD to fund a RAND research paper linking terrorism and pirating CDs/DVDs.

Everyone goes home happy except for the brown people, who kinda get screwed, but who cares, they don't have lobbyists.
Indeed they do have lobbyists, but instead of lobbying political ideas towards politicians, they tend to lob hand-grenades towards the neighbors.

the cloud can breakdown? WTF? I thought cloud computing fixed any conceived computer problem out there.
damn marketing bs...
