Yeah, no kidding. Everyone knows that an LP runs at thirty-three and one-third RPMs.
Personally, I think that the 72RPM phonograph records sound best, but that may just be a reflection of the kind of music that's most often found on them. They certainly have more character!
A. OnStar uses existing emergency service providers, cellular telephone and satellite technologies. It operates alongside the electrical system in your vehicle and is powered by your vehicle's battery. If your vehicle's battery is damaged or disconnected, our service will not function. Onstar currently uses the analog cellular network maintained by separate cellular companies. This provides the broadest geographic coverage of any current wireless system in the United States and Canada.
Satellite tracker? The popular (lojack, http://www.lojack.com/what/index.cfm, for example) services use land/air-based radio location equipment for tracking. I suspect satellite equipment would be too expensive to maintain for this kind of purpose.
I was at defcon and I missed the DDR machine...maybe next year I'll look harder. I've been practicing at home on my playstation! Man, I would really pwn the other hacksorz with my mad l33t DDR hacksoring skillz yo.
Who modded parent troll as insightful? Someone on crack, perhaps.
Of course, by "because of the risk" I meant because of the benefits (or perceived benefits) of a risk.
Perhaps doing something because it's risky means, doing it because of the adrenaline rush of the risk. (adrenaline is the benefit in this situation, and may be a strong enough benefit to accept a certain risk, for some people)
You can't judge which benefit outweighs which risks to someone other than yourself.
It was probably just a long-winded way to say YMMV ^^
A lot of people know things are bad for them, like unprotected sex, reckless driving, smoking and so on, but a great many people still do all of these despite knowing the dangers.
A lot of people do things things because of the risks associated. There is a difference between ignoring the risks and accepting them.
A web page at UC berkeley is less reliable than a web page at University of Washington... next you'll be trying to convince me that BSD was written at ASU.
I don't see a problem in *creating* the life ourselves. Terraform the planet, destroy the existing life, and put some new junk there.
That will also solve the problem of who "god" is (at least for the newly created martians). And it would make earth a sort of heaven from their perspective.
One day we will all move to mars, and use Earth as a big garbage dump...
I'll start a company that sends the remains of the dead back to Earth for burial... that way people can have a guarantee that they'll go to heaven when they die.
As far as IT is concerned, it is *not* stressful. Nobody dies when you foul something up. It doesn't affect a whole lot, maybe some company's profit margin, or delivery of some merchandise.
Try being an airplane mechaninc, where you are held criminally liable for every corpse related to something that breaks if you've signed off on it.
Maybe a fire fighter, where when you don't do your job correctly people die.
Policeman, when you fail to do your job, you die, innocent people die...
Compared to these, IT is a cakewalk.
And yeah, I know that IT has a strong influence in many of these fields, but it is abstracted from the first-hand death inherent in each.
Languages should be defined in an open and standard way. Let compilers and applications be proprietary. But keep in mind that proprietary extensions to the language ought to be shunned, as they will cause fragmentation.

Wouldn't you rather say 802.20 phones?
Erm...yes, of course...it's been awhile.

Onstar's website claims otherwise:
Q. How does OnStar work?

Because you've failed to follow the links in the post. http://www.lp.org/
Lojack doesn't use Satellites for tracking, they use ground-based antennas http://www.lojack.com/what/see_how_lojack_works.cf m

As has been stated in other threads, GPS receivers are passive.
You can do similar things with ameteur radio (Brett Neilson's presentation at Defcon covered this -- track him at http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/find.cgi?call=kc7iib
Freddy Got Fingered has prior art. Mmmm...Betty.
The sun may or may not go nova this week.
I may or may not get myself a real girlfriend.
there may or may not be dupes posted on our beloved

You may or may not get that raise (job, for those unemployed) this week.
It's easy to make

nokia admits that some of their phones are vulnerable to bluesnarfing.
Security Focus also has some good information.

Again, citing a link from UW's website is not convincing. Why don't you go to the USPTO website and get something to backup your claim from there?

Pine was written at UC Berkeley and does indeed stand for "Pine Is Not an Editor."
The acronym for pine clearly states this fact:
Pine -> Pine Is Not an Editor
