you mean you read slashdot, and the first thing you do when you get a new PC is *not* format it, re-partition it and install it the way you want? Times have changed...
The Swedish population in general would disagree, but I'm a Swede and I'm convinced that no -- Assange would not get a fair trial. He'd get the same kind of trial as the Pirate Bay lads, one that is decided in advance by powerful political forces. If extradited to Sweden, he'd be in Guantanamo within a month.
Well of course not! Mikael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander would come to rescue him!
Well I don't know about other countries, but quite a while back, it was made illegal in France to research in any way about the security of credit/debit card chips.
Communism died between 1989 when the Berlin wall fell and 1991 when the USSR was dismantled. The FSF should have followed closely. Shame really. Especially when you see how many good projects managed with out it (notably BSD and Apache).
There's a Facebook option whereby you get an email sent to you when someone accesses your account on a PC that hasn't been used for that before. I thought it was cool also.
But GMail has had the "active sessions" and "last activity on this account" options for a while, so I guess it's only working on a behaviour pattern and warning people when that pattern changes.
Yet another message with biased facts and argumentation from a cocky tree-hugging lefty. Thanks for that, I'll remember to take my card at Greenpeace now.
But to come back to it, (anf be a bit more thorough than the poster) producing the same amount of energy as a modern nuclear plant would take a solar installation the size of the town of Paris. I doubt buying/using the land was factored into the price of MW.
I agree with you. C gives a lot of insight under the hood. You can also start looking at an executables' structure, explain about memory usage and zones, and learn from your mistakes. gdb makes it easy to debug (no, printf is not a debugger).
And hey!, you really can't call yourself a programmer if you never hit your keyboard on receiving a SIGSEGV =D
Apple does not even make proprietary Verizon or Sprint iPhones to serve the US cell market of 3 overlapping monopolies, they run on AT&T only in the US because it's the only US carrier that is compatible with the world.
Hahahaha. The iPhone is only on ATT because ATT paid apple the most for the privilege. T-Mobile also uses GSM but like Sprint they're too small to pay the proper bribes. but by the time the ATT contract runs out with Apple I'm sure Verizon will have ponied up the right payoff to get the iphone on their network.
GSM != "Compatible with the rest of the world anytime after 2000".
GSM was the standard when Mulder and Scully got their first mobile. In those days, RTC was the only available connection option for Internet at home...
If scientists thought about ethics before moving ahead with research, we'd end up with shitty politicians (pardon the pleonasm) arguing for ages about things not even mildly related. And we'd still be going round in horses and carts.
The thing we need is a change of politicians who can adapt to science quicker!
well... if they really were, their digestive system would have adapted not to take in so much fat, and they wouldn't be the overweight world champions.
my 2 pounds of contribution to the debate. or 2 stones maybe in this case;-)
same on the original iPods, on your fridge or your washing machine. what's your point? the iPad is a backward tool with the OS of a mobile phone, which doesn't support multi-tasking (doh, back in the previous millenium) and doesn't even have a USB port...
you can buy that ill-designed 19th-century 500-dollar gadget, or get yourself a small laptop. there's a large range of them in different prices, shapes, sizes and colours. and some of them even have basic features. like an OS where I can read an ebook in a foreign language and switch to my online dictionary for a translation for example...

Well... Gears is starting to help a bit, but nobody is making the most of it just now.
(on another note, whenever I lose my connection, I just lay there hoping I'll die soon or get a connection back -- whichever the shortest of the 2)
Man, I live in London, UK, and I trust the clouds: when I see them, I pack my umbrella!
Seriously? The language where blocks of code are delimited by indentation?
Btw, how do these young whipper-snappers call bits of asm in their code?
...or the kitchen knife? Because they help to facilitate crimes every day. Maybe they should be sued too!

hey, I was going to make that joke !
650 BGP must be to run on a 386.
Surely, even on a 386, if it runs a network router, it's worth more than that...
(and who said it wasn't per day??)

British, UK, taxpayer dollars? Spot the odd one.
King Julian? From Madagascar?
Ha. You're already suspicious if you read slashdot! There's load of articles about security and computer hacking...
I just hope they keep the hot nurses away from that procedure aswell =)

Although I'm more a fan of them, it's become quite true with Google too...

He's only teaching TiVo tricks backward in time so people can record his show. Everybody knows he invented a time machine in season 6 !
