While written in the early years of the internet, it revolves around an anti-semetic website and two chat room visiters arguing in the persona of Nazi and Jew. It's a very interesting examination into this haunting piece of their past that the Germans seem to be trapped in. No matter how much I have studied it, I don't think I'll ever be able to (as an American) understand how this cycle keeps repeating. However, there's no doubt that it's there, and that the German people will be haunted by it for some time, if not forever.
Except they don't suffer from "this" affliction.
If they can't pass a double blind test, then the affliction doesn't exist.
They suffer from an affliction, it's just psychosomatic. Of course a double-blind study wouldn't pick up any actual sensitivity, because they don't have one. Instead, they do feel physical effects whenever they think they should. That's still a real affliction, the cause is just different.
It is possible that the probes lying at the bottom of the ocean were not designed to get wet because the host planet does not have water at all. Now these probes might be short circuited or something of that kind.
Expanding on this, what if they were looking for a planet like Mars or (harder to detect) Venus? Maybe the probe arived billions of years ago and saw three planets in adjacent orbits with water. Who's to say it would have picked the correct planet?
As for detection, a single object sitting under the dense atmosphere of Venus for 100 million years doesn't exactly pop out at us.
It should be both, shouldn't it? You're hacking from your own jurisdiction, as well as trespassing on property in another jurisdiction.
But, if a country doesn't care about prosecuting hackers targeting American systems, we probably don't have an extradition treaty with them either. In that case it becomes something for our diplomats to duke out.
It's the PS3 exclusives, where the developers really dove into the system, where the PS3 excells. On cross-platform games the developer usually ports their code for the 360 over to the PS3, and it never gets that same level of polish.
The PS3 has more potential, but they ask a lot of their developers to utilize it, due to the Cell processor requiring different techniques to get the speed. More powerful, but at the cost of unfamiliarity.
So 'best' depends on the viewpoint. Sony has the most powerful hardware, but also the most difficult to develop for. Because of this, 'best' will always be a debate between the fans.
Idaho prosecutes kissing in public between an 18 year old and a 17 year old as "Lewd conduct with a minor" - sounds terrible doesn't it?
A wise use of the application would show that the person who got a "Lewd conduct with a minor" charge 5 years ago and is now 23 might not be a worry, especially compared to the guy convicted last year at the age of 47...
Ah, who am I kidding? Everyone who sees a red pin will assume it's a child rapist who posted the pictures to the internet.
Locally produced and organic are not mutually exclusive. Local produce, whether organic or mass produced, will almost always be cheaper and should be prefered. In the case of the produce you're refering to, the price comes more from their proximity than any 'organic' method.
So, people should be encouraged to buy local when possible, but there's not much additional benefit (particularly health-wise) from it being organic as well.
But that's not the discussion we're having, is it? We're talking about produce, not fast food, and whether organic has any more nutritional value. All this means is that it is just as healthy to buy high-yield produce as it is to buy organic, so those who buy organic for the health benefits gain nothing.
That and all the chemically dependant "fast-grow, high-yield" fruits and vegetables taste like arse compared to the more traditional ones.
Going for higher, cheaper yield is not always good.
If it's cheaper and has the same nutritional value, that's a good thing for everyone who can't afford (or isn't pretentious enough to want) organic foods. It is always good to drive costs down, if it means feeding those who are going hungry.
As was stated, the specific information may be underclassified. "Sensitive" information does not require a security clearance to view and might be visible to the public network. It is not the same as classified information (Top Secret, Secret, Confidential). Generally, procedures are quite good and classified information rarely finds its way out.
Since this information wasn't a literal "Secret", it didn't have the same security requirements. What is needed now is to improve security of sensitive information that isn't classified. However, you can't really extrapolate a leak like this to a leak of classified information. Those procedures work pretty well, most leaks are deliberate acts rather than accidents.
Whoever thought making C/C++ an implementation language for anything as complicated as an OS ought to be shot. The number of possible vulnerabilities is through the roof, as this latest patch shows.
C was used because it was more productive then assembler, but still performed very well. Of course being so close to the metal means that its easier for programmers to screw up... but I'm not sure C# will be used to build the base of an OS anytime soon. You'd almost have to make the CLR the OS... which while an interesting idea not one I think we'd see soon.
I thought Vista was supposed to be built with.NET, only to have those plans scrapped. If MS isn't building their OS with C# and.NET, there must be a reason.
Someone needs to pay for the infrastructure to be built (the ISP), so those who access it need to pay for their usage. There's no such thing as 'free and public' as long as it requires an infrastructure.
Sure, we could turn the internet into a public work, but we'd still be paying for it (that's what taxes are for). Are we sure we want the FCC in charge of running fiber?
Yeah, a version of MechCommander that wasn't a bastard turn-based game in realtime. More accurately, a quality version on the BattleTech tabletop game (there are a few Open Source systems, but I'm looking for something with a bit more polish and flare).
I'd love a Mechwarrior reboot that went back to the source pen-and-paper. Lots of depth, squad based, and hopefully the ability to be turn-based rather than twitch.
Or that they were hit by something that contained kinetic energy (a fast moving rock), rather than electromagnetic or heat energy (laser/blaster/etc).
Seems more to me like the difference between being burned and being hit: both hurt, might have each had the same energy, but you can tell the difference.
That's because Verizon's client is just for generating the authentication. It's a backwards system (why not just give subscribers a Boingo account?) but it's why the Verizon system is unique.
GP said this kind of vertical take-off/landing rocket would be useful on the moon. I simply pointed out that it has already been done on the moon, if not nearly as sophisticated.
Does it soften the message? Somewhat. However, they reach far more people, and those that watch it don't usually kill themselves during the closing credits.
Respect the originals, yet keep refreshing it to new audiences. Often, those that like the new versions end up hungry to read about the original source material.
That's, of course, assuming that the first exploration of a theme is the best. I would venture that while 1984, V for Vendetta, and Equilibrium explore the same space, they do it in unique ways. None are, what I would consider, a definitive work; neither are the newer movies a simple rehash of 1984.
In 1984, the 'resistance' comes from within the government and is a trap, while Equilibrium has the government using its own agent who defects, yet V for Vendetta is a resistance of an outsider. These are unique explorations, and it would be disappointing if anyone thought that any single piece was a sufficient exploration of the theme. Taken as a whole, however, the reader/viewer can make their own, deeper connections.
I'm still hoping that this movie will actually be a good, cerebral Science Fiction story; rather than just another disposable alien-action movie built on what would otherwise be a great plot to explore.
Seriously, if they have this down and working, could this be used on the moon? For the most part, I think that this craft will be limited here on earth. Though I could see it hoping from mountain top to mountain top to place weather instrumentation and perhaps even telescopes. It seems that the really useful place for this would be either the moon or even possibly mars.

They suffer from an affliction, it's just psychosomatic. Of course a double-blind study wouldn't pick up any actual sensitivity, because they don't have one. Instead, they do feel physical effects whenever they think they should. That's still a real affliction, the cause is just different.
It still should be treated, but it's by breaking that psychosomatic link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychosomatic_medicine
Exactly. A lot can happen in 100 MILLION years.
It is possible that the probes lying at the bottom of the ocean were not designed to get wet because the host planet does not have water at all. Now these probes might be short circuited or something of that kind.

I'm referring to production costs, rather than sale price.
Then ban it on any machine with sensitive information. Any machine that needs to push P2P information just can't have sensitive information. QED.
That and all the chemically dependant "fast-grow, high-yield" fruits and vegetables taste like arse compared to the more traditional ones.

To make a patch that simply turned off ActiveX? I better be misreading this...
Not only that, but it forced a reboot. Why do you need a reboot to turn off a service?
Welcome to the best feature of Windows 7: turning off/on processes on demand, including IE!

Yeah, I need to see if there's a way around this to get it to work on my EeePC 900, since it doesn't really behave with XP/Vista.
I'd love a Mechwarrior reboot that went back to the source pen-and-paper. Lots of depth, squad based, and hopefully the ability to be turn-based rather than twitch.
