What would be changed if we learned we're living in a Matrix? As long as the operators don't shut it off, and there aren't game-breaking glitches or backdoors discovered, then it shouldn't have any affect on our lives on the inside.
What the hell are with all of these complicated answers? Virtual Machines? Snapshots? Linux installs just for guests? Two routers? Shit, this is not that hard. BOTH WINDOWS AND UBUNTU FOR EXAMPLE ALREADY SUPPORT A GUEST ACCOUNT OUT OF THE BOX WHICH HAS NO ADMIN ACCESS. THAT IS A PERFECT SOLUTION FOR THIS.
If Mac or your favorite flavor of Linux don't have a "guest account" feature, then just make an account named "guest" that doesn't have admin access. If you're worried that the account alone is compromised, then delete the account and re-create it (or just delete everything under its home folder).
You can't see the value of the engine being open source? It's the same situation as with the Doom games, Quake 1-3, and Duke Nukem 3d. You still need to own the game to play it, but people can update the engine to have new features, work better on more platforms, and use it as a base for their own games.
Good GPUs still compete with FPGAs in hashing rate. FPGAs win in power efficiency, but depending on electricity costs and the computers' efficiency, GPU mining can still be worthwhile.
ASICs appear to give at least a hundredfold improvement over GPUs (similar to GPUs vs CPUs) but there are only hundreds or less out right now. Only one company is currently selling and shipping them right now and they're in small batches.
More modern source port info: ZDoom has support for tons of mods. GZDoom is based off of ZDoom and adds OpenGL and 3d support (in level architecture and lighting mainly). Zandronum (formerly Skulltag) is based off of GZDoom and is excellent for online multiplayer (supporting very useful features like in-game joining). All are cross-platform, and each besides Zandronum/Skulltag are open source.
You don't want to run echo as superuser; a regular user can echo 1 to the program's own stdout just as easily as superuser. The shell is what opens the output file (/dev/landing-gear-doors), so you either need to run the shell as superuser or have a different program as superuser which opens the file. Either of these will work:
What? Why the fuck would a progress bar go backwards? A progress bar shouldn't be pegged to the fraction of time of the job done. It should be pegged to the actual progress. If progress starts going slower, then the progress bar should start moving slower.
It's annoying using a file system with file ownership on a flash drive, because chances are the computer I plug the flash drive into has an entirely different set of user IDs that don't match up to the flash drive's files' ownerships. I wish there was an easy way to mount an ext filesystem with all of the files owned by a specific user id (such as the id of the active desktop user when I plug in the flash drive). I wouldn't be surprised if there already is a way, but it should be do-able via the UI and not require root access.
If snapshots are handled by the filesystem, then it could be possible to snapshot a specific directory or file rather than a whole partition for example. Snapshots in the filesystem also prevents stuff like changes to space that was free when the snapshot was taken from being unnecessarily remembered.
Nodes can't filter access of.onion addresses because none of the Tor nodes (besides the one hosting the hidden service if you're counting it) know who the connection is for or from.
Why would you assume that? Eventually, the social API is going to work for sites other than Facebook too. Would you assume that Firefox periodically tries to contact every single site that supports the feature even when you didn't enable it? That's ridiculous.
Nvidia has insisted on closed source proprietary drivers. Does this mean the drivers are crap? Nope, it just makes it very difficult for the open source community to troubleshoot/support them.
Nvidia Optimus cards aren't even usable in Linux until the Bumblebee project reinvented support for the Optimus stuff on their own. If that's not complete *crap* on Nvidia's part, then I don't even know what we can call crap.

Good thing it takes two humans to make life!

I was able to buy things with bitcoins, and sell bitcoins for dollars. That's real enough for me.

Those poor, unsuspecting college students, secretly forced to possibly help someone pick up some pens!
It's more like a bluetooth headset than a separate phone.
The same reason legos are square / rectangular. It's much easier to build with squares than spheres or whatever.

FTL and warp drives are an open problem with no good designs in mind. This pedal is a specific design which obviously does not work.
The point in mining asteroids is that you're mining materials already in space, rather than launching them up yourself.
As opposed to 360?
This appears to be a step taken to placate a nervous Congress, rather in response to any detected security issues.
But there *are* glaring security issues, with at least some of their products.

Nah, I think it would be more like talking about meteorites from Mars and explaining whether the meteorite was from Mars.
Taking time is only important if your input data is small and you don't want someone guessing the input data and verifying it against the hash.
If you want a hashing algorithm to take time, it's not that hard: just run it X times.

That's why he said from inside the TOR network.

I'd advocate choosing some other useless and less expensive random "commodity" to stockpile along with your guns and food.
Suddenly, the bottle cap currency in the Fallout series makes perfect sense.
