Wny not using a car analogy instead? No that would be retard. Like this.
This is like a bug in a slot machine made it give a larger jackpot that it should. Why do you have to over complicate this, it's has noting to do with retail stores, and it's simple enough.
And it's perfectly fine that the casino didn't pay it. A simple bug, probably made by a sloppy programmer, shouldn't be the cause for the casino to change hands to some looser slot player.
Full infiltration of the TOR network is pretty much necessary if they ever want to catch pedophiles in the act.
You are either ignorant or part of the TOR conspiracy.
TOR is almost certainly a trap. Just think, what is an easier method to survey "interesting" communications that convince the targets to use your systems to route them.
You need to infiltrate much less than most of the nodes to compromise the anonymity in TOR. Most communications use only 2 nodes before an "exit" node. Control a good proportions of the exit nodes (they are not so many, so let's say 50%) and 10% of the nodes and they you'll be able to eavesdrop and guess the origin of 50%*10%*10%=0.5% of all communications on TOR.
If you still don't believe me just check who is behind TOR. You'll be surprised.
I hope the crackers seriously stick it to them. Copyright length, game DRM and licensing really don't make any sense to me. Honestly I really am upset that I paid for ~$40 for Contra on the NES back in 1990 only to have to pay $8 for it on the Wii today with no ability to transfer it from that device to another. How many more times must I pay for the Contra license to what is the exact same game?
I think you're confused. Most hacker groups actually enjoys games and encourage to buy the originals if you like them after testing the warez version. I don't think they're going to be interested in suing a game vendor.
I guarantee the generation capability of that plant was made by GE or Siemans, not the Australian government.
And? We know the Australia government is not in the bossiness of making generators... it's obvious they are cheaper when they are mass produced. On the other hand dams or other large scales civil engineering can't be mass produced.
I only need to read the first line to know that you're wrong. A factor of 200 in velocity means a factor of 40000 in power. 1% of C is much harder than you image. And remember than unless your plan is to make a big hole on some distant planet you have to double the energy to slow down.
But then, you have to account for that the increased weight for the fuel needed for a 80000 energy increase means the real factor is indeed much higher...
You were part of the problem, not part of the solution. But hey, feel free to justify it any way you want.
No YOU where part of the problem... people including end using are not stupid and if you thought that insisting Ogg was good enough even if it wasn't was going to change things you were mistaken.
First we need GOOD open source codecs and formats, then we can have widespread ones.
This is probably one of the more moronic things I read in Slashdot. Don't you think that police would start looking for the cell of the kidnaped/murdered person and arrest the criminal using it when they find it (and it's not that that hard to do it)?
I think this is an excellent idea except for those countries that have a really low crime rate.
This'll just spread the crime to include cell phone theft. Then the government will need to set up some program to keep track of stolen phones and make sure they're deactivated and all the mess that comes along with that.
Even outside of the privacy concerns and other issues, this is a terrible idea that doesn't even approach solving the problem. It's a stupid ploy so that some asshat can claim they're trying to crack down on crime without really cracking down on crime.
Why is this a terrible idea? This is exactly what have been done in Argentina and it works (except that there are some work arounds to make a stolen phone work but I think this could be fixed).
So you have a better model that involves every quake having a dual quake that exactly cancel the effect of the other one? What evidence do you have to support this?
just in case you don't know how marketing looks like. Until there is a technical paper from IBM we could just assume that someone said "I have an idea! Lets use quicksort instead of bubble sort!".
I can confirm that is not technically challenging to do today as virtual machines vendors don't try to prevent from this. They could do things harder (think encrypting disk files, in memory encryption of VM's memory, tricks with virtual memory to prevent easy access from other process and from kernel modules, etc). But they don't.
I hope the employees kept backups of the code... I hope the employees can form some kind of cooperative (company owned by the employees) and finish the game. I'm sure that the gamming community would support them and buy their version of the game instead of the one made by this dishonest assholes.

Maybe now that they will eat their own dogfood they will finally make a fast compiler.
You think quantum computer=faster computer? OMG.
Sounds more like a hardware/driver problem to me. I've had something similar but never bothered to much to understand whats going on.
Why not? It's not illegal yet.
How is this +1 Insightful and not +5 Funny? I'm disappointed in you Slashdot.

If you actually think what you said makes sense, or that Einstein wouldn't have thought of it if it made sense, then you're an idiot.
How can this drivel be modded up? Where is the old slashdot?
how do I get a job in there?
Too bad it doesn't work that way.
Actually going up the stairs one floor should affect the length of the day too, but does it matter?
So you have a better model that involves every quake having a dual quake that exactly cancel the effect of the other one? What evidence do you have to support this?
I'm horrified that you achieved +4 insightful instead of the +5 funny that you were going for.
Don't be horrified... never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.

Capitan Obvious answer: there is nothing the VM can do to prevent someone with physical access from having complete control.
Are you kidding me? I agree with that.
