Its the concentric circles around the crater that set this one apart from other eathly craters. They still aren't convinced that an asteroid impact could create a crater like that but may rather have been caused by "an up-from-below phenomenon known as salt diapirism."
In that case mirror the site to your own webserver or even your journal and provide a link. There's no reason to put the entire article in the middle of the comments I'm trying to read.
Because this isn't the place for it. This section is for comments. It's just that much more I have to scroll though, and it usually (though probably not in this case) involves copyright infringement.
Everyone knows they make the momey from the cartrages, not the actual units. Kind of like the game console sales model
True, but fewer of their printers in people's homes means fewer cartridges will be needed. They're losing more than the profit directly from the printer.
Yeah... it will please everyone who doesn't mind genetically engineered super-bacteria roaming the planet.
It's no big deal. If they get out of hand we can release genetically engineered rodents to eat them. And if they get out of control we'll release genetically engineered cats to eat them...
Situation 1: Yes, you'd be liable to be prosecuted under US libel laws.
Situation 2: I figure the portion of the pipeline in Canada would establish a presense and you could be prosecuted under candian law applying to release of toxic substances and/or importing toxic material. You could also be held under US export laws for toxic materials. I really don't think the US should be able to prosecute for releasing the materials into the environment unless that's some kind of stipulation in an export agreement or something. The US government at best could impose sanctions on Canada until they see our point of view and toughen up the applicable laws.
I don't know what the situation is in reality, but in my mind the London Times would be responsible for whatever they publish. If the writer of the letter is not a resident of the country enforcing the law, he shouldn't be subject to it. Only if the US considers writing the letter illegal should he come under any personal punishment. If a disgruntled Canadian sends a mail bomb into the USA and kills someone, we can't march in and execute him. What we can do is try to prevent the mail bomb from entering the USA to begin with, and we must rely on the cooperation of Canada if we want to extradite him. He would be subject to his own country's (Canada) polocies of extradition which could make him subject to USA laws in addition to his own country's laws. It's all so black and white in my head. Luckily I don't have to implement any of this.
In your example Synapseland would have every right to destroy the computer. Siliconland has no rights to the box but can have free reign on the siliconlander if he had broken any laws.
I'm an American, and I believe any given piece of content should fall under the laws of the creator's residence as well as those of the hosting providers residence. It is the creator's responsibility to ensure he is in compliance with applicable laws.
If he breaks the laws of his own country, he is subject to whatever punishment his government deams necesary. If he breaks the laws of the hosting counry, his site should be subject to removal, but he should not need to fear personal punishment. If the audience resides in another country, it is that country's perogative to block the site if they disapprove, but they should have no right to remove the content or punish the creator personally.
I agree. It's also important to note that the webmaster was italian, not a US citizen. The Italian Special Police replaced images on a site run by an Italian citizen. The bits just happend to be sitting on US soil. At the worst, the US-based hosting provider could investigate the stealing of the password used to change the content just as they would any common defacer. Even that is a far stretch though.
Option 1: Both heads are on the same arm/servo. Doesn't really help read data any faster.
Option 2: Each head on its own arm/servo. Brings a whole new meaning to the word crash.
Option 3: heads on own arm/servo and on oposite sides of the platter. Until you can read the same data from either side of the platter, this is useless.
Why do you really care if the drivers are open source? If a reputable company maintains the drivers well and supports all the features, closed source would be perfectly acceptable. There's nothing inherantly wrong with closed source software.
By the way, if it does have a special DAC, you're screwed without getting special media pressed or modifying the player. You can't write a wobble with a regular CD burner.
There's one simple way to find out if the disc is reproducable. Get a hold of a disc, make a 1-to-1 copy, and see if it still plays. If so you can probably adjust a date stamp or something. If not, no ammount of hacking will make it work with your standard burner.
Your sig is out of date. Numeric Karma is dead, man.
Actually I didn't create that sig until they took away numeric karma. I'm keeping track of it manually out of spite. It's probably still the same behind the scenes at least for the time being.
The article doesn't say which standard they would propose to use - And I seriously doubt if they would cover rural areas.
I would guess b. a and I believe g make use of the 2.4 GHz range of frequencies which would screw up cordless phones, wireless video transmitters/recievers, and other such things.
This is fucking cock-ass bullshit. Welcome to censorship.org, everybody. The editors go on and on about free speech, first amendment rights, etc. and then we get "You're not welcome to speak your mind here". Way to go, guys.
For those who don't know,/. has now implemented a "two posts per day" limit on certain users.
So open a couple dozen more accounts and tell the world.
Ideally any of the tier-2 control ships would be functionally identical to the lead control ship. If the lead control ship is destroyed, a tier-2 ship will be randomly selected to take its place and pick up where it left off. The simplest tactic may be jamming communications; i.e. divide and conquor. You'd still have to deal with the AI of each individual drone, but they wouldn't be able to work together to corner you or anything.
Why oh why does MS need to take control of anymore companies???!!!
Because MS is maturing and needs to prepare for long term survival. Their position in the desktop market can only go down now since they already own the desktop so they cannot rely on that. They need to diversify so that failing in one market will not doom them. Their methodology is questionable (tounge-in-cheak), but the need to do so is clear.

They didn't DOS them although that would likely be far worse. What they did do is DoS them.

It's tempting to get a new ID just so I can mod down people like you who post the entire article as a comment.

However, I don't get spam.

I'd be lying if I said I never got any spam.
OK...
Yeah ok. I have no objections to implanting a small microwave in my chest. That'll be nice come winter.

I'm not so sure that would work.

No, you're mistaken. That's a direct URL, not a link. Maybe you should learn basic HTML during recess.
...munitions-grade encryption...
What is munitions-grade encryption? The only method I know of to encrypt munitions is very messy.
