Interesting. While reading the article again, I have noticed that they have treated a small fraction of filament with laser, leaving the rest of it untreated. What do You think, is the increased brightness of the treated part of filament result of increased skin effect or just an hot spot caused by locally reduced cross section?
For that specific reason N. Korea developed nuclear weapons. Invasion will be impossible now without painful casualties, fallout.
There should be the other way, and I do not mean CIA induced revolution, they do not slove anything. Enemies can become friends, but not trough fighting each other.
Having 16 legally registered pistols at home is clearly a sign of madness or an need to open an museum.
Having a son that shoot 15 people dead clearly shows that it is something that flows trough the bloodlines.
The bottom line is the paintball is going to be outlawed! It is like banning the bicycles because people die in airplane crashes!
It takes one madman to make a tragedy, and more than a one to pass the stupid law.
Experience. Education. Software should be downloaded only form official sites and mirrors listed on official site, a home user should know that. No downloading form warez sites. White lists and black lists wouldn't help much. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware reported whole collection of glow-icons from my Amiga archive as an trojan an hour ago, it is either false positive or bad black list. Besides, malware changes rapidly, black lists only keep up, barely.
I doubt anyone install bot on it's computer intentionally. Most computers get infected unintentionally, trough thumb drives or script loaded web pages. That part of infection is not user fault, so someone else should be punished.
During the Trojan War, the people of Troy were said to have installed dancing horses, which came pre-infected with the special forces of Greece.
Damn autorun feature. Allows an Trojan horse to automatically install special forces.
Nowadays, users install dancing bunnies, which come pre-infected with viruses and worms and other sorts of malware.
Smileys used to be big hit. I guess that bunnies are more infectious now. TweakUI seems to be able to prevent user form installing unwanted software ( any software ), however it can't prevent form unintentional infection while surfing script loaded web pages.
I also think the OS makers should be forced to create sandbox technology around all user installed processes the prevent them from executing outside of well-defined profiles.
Users do not install viruses. Viruses install themselves trough gaping security holes / backdoors. There is no reason for an OS to allow an application to download and activate *any* application without user approval.
All activities should be logged (every file accessed, every network connection made, every registry key accessed, etc).
Sorry, that is unacceptable. Logging is not needed, is waste of storage space and intrusion of privacy.
No, no no. It certainly is not all like that. I am not an nuclear scientist but years of reading posts on slashdot convinced me that nuclear fission is all clean, safe and reliable, and with breeder reactors it is renewable too.
Yes, ti might be somewhat radioactive, but hey it is only gamma ray here, gamma ray there, nothing really to wary about.
According to GameSpot's review Day of Defeat is Half-Life mod released as standalone game. It seems that no game developer wants to give the equal chance to both sides at the start. Usually the other side ( the bad guys ) are NPCs in series of levels with scripted events. They ( the game developers ) usually follow the history line. In this rare case someone dared to publish the mod as complete standalone game. Thank you for clarifying my point.
There is *BIG* difference between right and left clicking. First brings Safely Remove Hardware box, where one can choose to:
1. stop the storage device
2. stop the specific device
3. stop the specific volume ( i.e. drive G: )
if the display device components box is checked. If not there is only option to stop the storage device ( kill the driver ) in GP case entire 6-in-1-type card reader.
So if you have nothing to do better go update the kernel and fsck you too.
Is that because gamers are a jingoistic bunch who wouldn't want to shoot their own side? Or is it just that the British and Americans mostly won their wars, and games tend to cast the player as part of the winning side?
Maybe, but Counter Strike is the type of game that have two sides, and was very popular. Well, that depends on definition of winning, and on the mindset of the game creators. The gaming today is dead experience, mostly because of poorly scripted scenarios that offer rigid events with book-like pass trough.
There was a rather good strategy game I picked up long ago called 'Central Intelligence' in which your job is to organise a revolution on behalf of the CIA in some banana republic. Set up safe houses, establish contacts with sympathisers in the media and among the student radicals, organise a leaflet campaign, put up propaganda posters, raid the quarry and steal explosives, send a letter bomb to the chief of police...
Sounds like standard CIA type of plot ( Iraq, Bulgaria, Serbia? ). It form your brief description sounds like a good game, I hope that it has open ended scenarios, unlike most of other games.
There's got to be a market for this. 'Freedom Fighter' - play as Lenin, Collins, Mao, de Gaulle, Guevara, Khomeini!
There might be, but in real life there is another variable, that tends to become constant, and that is foreign/international corporate business...
Overthrow the corrupt puppet government of the oppressors! Establish liberty and justice for the common people!
... and the replacement government becomes even more corrupted, according to my experience, and part with justice and common people, looks just like a bad joke.
Intimidate and beat up collaborators! Execute informers! Blow up police stations!
It just cant be done without THAT in real life, and why not in the game.
Yes that is most intriguing and absolutely heretical idea and could make an interested game. Anyway, such game should have two sides, the hero side and the antihero side ( look for Dungeon Keeper ) where evil is good.
Somehow, killing an German or Iraqi soldiers is not offensive. On the other hand killing an soldier of US or GB army, even in a video game, seems to be... well, another story.
Faster and more clear: Left click on "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in the icon tray and then left click on drive title example "Safely remove USM Mass Storage Device - Drive(G:)"
Had the same experience. In winamp there is an option about size of the buffer used for decoded audio. I usually set it to 5000ms but I remember it can be set much higher. This allowed for winamp to play even during the blue screen for limited time, often until the song ends depending on cause of the BSoD.
My thoughts exactly. I say lets keep them busy. Use VPNs, torrent clients, multiple instant messengers, in game messengers, VOIP, encrypted communication protocols, as many as possible at the same time. Let them do the work. Overload them. Make them give up on whole society surveillance.
Disclaimer: I am not citizen of EU, but my country is doing exactly the same for more than year, for no apparent reason. The government set up an regulatory body, that made recommendation for ISP to monitor and retain relevant internet traffic data and god knows what else for an year. The same regulatory body is the one that gives the licenses to the ISPs, so it is not too hard to imagine what happens to the ISP who dares not to obey the recommendation.
Why detecting the spin up? There is a signal line named/DISKCHANGE that should be used to detect if floppy disk is in drive. On PC floppy drives it is pin 34, but state that describes that disk is in drive is not determined by standard, i.e. it might be different on different drives.

Um, make that 2-3% for standard incandescent, 3.5% for quartz halogen lamps, and 5-6% for high temperature halogen lamps (hint: they last hours).
They say they have increased efficiency 2-3 times for standard incandescent, that is still below 10%. CFL have 20-25% and LED are 30% efficient.
For that specific reason N. Korea developed nuclear weapons. Invasion will be impossible now without painful casualties, fallout.

Bullies get training while they are young. When they grow up they get the job adequate to their training. That is the essence of the system.

How about the .gov buying adds to stear people away from windows?
Are you asking that because since 1995 number of viruses, trojans and worms for Windows operating systems has been rising all the time?

I'm doing my best.

Well, "all methods acceptable" is the true definition of war.

Yeah, those WW2 games are offensive too.

... almost is never good enough.
You should check the pin outs on the floppy drives. /DISKCHANGE signal is ether on pin 11 or on pin 34.

Pin 34 should be /DISKCHANGE on "PC" floppy drives. No one seems to use it.
