This would be ok on TMZ... someone beat the editor!
What? The fact that the guy should better die on ISS or else face the RIAA/BPI suit for unlicensed public performance (no matter David Bowie's prediction) isn't interesting enough for/.?
so i would like to say: "fuck all you advertisers right in your balloon knots i hope you all...
Mmmh... seems somebody has lots of energy today.
to hell with advertising, that crap is everywhere, radio & television, billboards on both sides of the road, i cant open my eyes anymore without being bombarded with spamvertising,
Ahhh... that's why!... We forgot to spam his dreams. Well, soon to be corrected.
"We still don’t know for sure how this malicious software was deployed on the web servers," the researchers admit. "We believe the infection vector is not unique. It cannot be attributed solely to installations of cPanel because only a fraction of the infected servers are using this management software. One thing is clear, this malware does not propagate by itself and it does not exploit a vulnerability in a specific software."
I'm can't disagree with the U.S. Government's position on this one. If voice is sent via the public phone lines/EM-waves, the world's biggest public network, and isn't encrypted, then why should anybody need anything to read it? Unreasonable search and seizure doesn't apply when one person is talking to another person on a street corner...or on the world's biggest public phone network.
Use a voice scambler and then an argument can be made for 4th Amendment violations.
If you can sniff the network and easily read what I sent then fine. If I secure my emails so they don't appear in plain text then I think you do.
So basically your stance is - if you mail a letter in a sealed envelope, it's fair game, but if the letter is written in code, it's not.
More likely the difference between a postcard - everybody on the way can read it - versus a sealed opaque envelope: the use of the envelope expresses my wish to have only the recipient readings what's inside.
Send the email using non-encrypted protocols and it's a postcard. Send it using encrypted communication and it's a letter. Mind you: it doesn't matter it the content of the message is encrypted or not.
that this nuclei is just more excited than the others!
Which is why I' really like some details about the experimental settings/procedure. The paper's title is "Studies of pear-shaped nuclei using accelerated radioactive beams": is it possible the pear-shape is actually caused by the acceleration?
Did you even read the summary? Kids are getting dumber because of social/cultural/technological/material reasons.
R you sure it's technological? I'd rather think it is the "social" part of it that is the cause, no matter the other factors that trigger it. Let me put it in other words: maybe it's not "No kids let behind" but "Not kid gets ahead".
Are we ready to blur the line between hardware and wetware?
We can now almost convincingly partially recreate the wetware functions of Drosophila melanogaster. Whether we're *ready* for this is another question; as is whether this is what folks have in mind by "AI."
Wake me up when the AI will be just as complex as my guts (10^8 neurons the same magnitude as the cortex of a cat) and then I'll ask them if they feel they are ready for the AI.
A developer building an internal app uses conventions and tools that are relavent at the time of production. This developer is not clairvoyant. They can't put the sourcecode against their head johnny carson style and predict that in 5 years that say, activeX is going to be a major pariah, and that the core framework they are making will become totally unworkable.

The asymmetry cannot be fixed. The problem it causes cannot be fixed.
You can't solve it in its entirety, however you can alleviate the impact by the architecture and modularisation of your system. Then, you can upgrade it "by parts": whatever part can not longer be supported by the technology-of-the-moment, gets re-written (trivial example, take it as an example only: implement the business logic into an app server exposing API interfaces, separate the UI in some other place in the code. ActiveX UI no longer supported? Reimplement it, let the server-side logic untouched).
Granted, doing this doesn't come for free (higher dev costs, possibly higher hardware costs to run it), but one can look at this as an investment into one's future capability to evolve. Put in other way: Change is not compulsory. But again, neither is survival
Car analogy - what solution is preferable for someone to learn driving: use a second-hand car or rent a car by the day?
The better car analogy is the guy who likes to lease a new car every 3 years instead of buying one. You always get to have a new car, and there are rarely ever maintenance costs. The same would probably be true for the software subscription where you will automatically get the newest upgrades for free as part of the subscription.
Not quite. With an offline version, one can buy a "second hand" install CD. With an "only for rental" offer on the market, there's no chance to do it.
So you're saying if I want to use Photoshop for a couple months via the cloud (at a cost of $20/month) that's more expensive than buying a shrinkwrapware copy (at $600)?
Please explain.
On long term, yes. Car analogy - what solution is preferable for someone to learn driving: use a second-hand car or rent a car by the day? Translation: how long it takes a PS-noob to get enough experience to finish a project in 2 months? How much it will cost if all one can find on the market is rental-software?
Now get back to propping up our economy and owning most of our soverign debt.
Care to back that up with a source? They are the largest foreign holder of debt but that is far from owning most of our debt. China owns about 8% of public debt.
Predictably, certain politicians are â" so to speak â" up in arms about it.
Considering how often these gun bills have come up, and then gone flaccid, it's going to take some industrial-strength Viagra to get gun control advocates to mount a campaign to put to bed any criticism and pass the climax of votes necessary for it to become a law.
If everybody is able to print their gun, to just who the gun industry will sell one? If their profits are falling, wanna bet how long 'til the "plastic guns" get banned?

I think having morons as elected officials is more harmful than having kids.
Agreed. While definitely something needs to be banned, I can't make my mind on what to ban. Suggestions?
(grin)

In other words, the question should read "Why Should the Law Think About Robots?"
I wish I had a bitcoin for every go stone I played!
Ko's would be a fortune, isn't it?
TFS mixes the two: written in Go! and great for the Go community
TFA says: it's Go not Go!
is this for cpanel or apache?

Thanks. Appreciated.
Can they be 3D-printed?
is it possible the pear-shape is actually caused by the acceleration?
is it possible the paper's authors haven't already thought of that?
Do you think this is relevant for my curiosity?
Are there any with an open GPU?
Under construction
Cue the flamebait accusations....

But.... they are right!!! The amendment clearly specifies "no Warrants": as such, they don't even attempt to get one!!!

Should they upgrade their software, just, because?
Because the hardware that runs it dies and you can't get another iron that supports the same software configuration anymore.

Think textbooks
If they are using Student/Teacher editions or something to make an unfair price comparison, ...?
Why is unfair? Do you suggest a student get to a professional level of experience on software-on-rent is cheaper than buying a standalone copy?
So you're saying if I want to use Photoshop for a couple months via the cloud (at a cost of $20/month) that's more expensive than buying a shrinkwrapware copy (at $600)?
Please explain.
On long term, yes.

China's exports by country - US buys 20% from China.
Also China runs an year-on-year positive trade balance
US goods trade: total showing a deficit since at least 1989.
Goods trade with China only - deficit again
Gotta ask yourself the population of which country would suffer the most if the trade between the two would suddenly stop?

Some bits and pieces:
Looks like the City Council has spent two years and about $95,000 fighting resident Adam Bonner in tribunal after it used $150,000 in federal funding to install 18 cameras. One of the article's comments provides insight on why the opposition: CCTV cameras have shown time and time again that they do help immensely in solving crime, but the stats to determine whether they prevent crime are less clear."
An audit report has found that the council may also intend to stage its own small scale "security theater", by
* "Increase the perception of Nowra’s CBD as a safe place and reduce the fear of crime amongst business operators and the community" but
* "From the available statistics, it appears to be too early to judge if the system acts as a deterrent for potential offenders. Statistics for a longer period of time may identify a trend up or down but at present this is not observable from only a little over a year of compiling data."
Then again... stepping on the "conspiracy theory" tracks (aren't they juicy?):
* it also seems there's a new jail in town and some may want to fill it up or else the employment and stimulus money may go down.
