You raise a very good point. Somehow I doubt that if you asked the actual technicians involved, they would say "OMG IT'S ANOTHER CHERNOYBL HAPPENING RIGHT NOW" and might even be able to suggest a couple REASONABLE ways to prevent it from happening again without this "no new reactor research for 40 years" bullshit.
Seriously, what the heck were you trying to say? "Since temporary Windows files exist unencrypted in memory, encrypting your data doesn't help much"? You can encrypt your entire system drive with TrueCrypt, though I don't know if that would have any effect on said temp files.
You see, from your perspective the cube would never quite reach the EH and would appear frozen in time. However, yon cube will sail uneventfully through the event horizon and in short order strike the singularity. This is a paradox, and we all know that any theory which results in a paradox is by definition false.
Wouldn't it only be a paradox if the cube physically existed in both places? Observation being relative due to dilation and all.
I've actually had the opposite experience; it seems to me they used to be worse when I started using Firefox (~2.0.0.4 I think) and they aren't as bad as they used to be. I used to have to restart it every few hours but haven't had that problem since maybe 3.5.
My thoughts exactly. There haven't been any features that I've really needed since tab save on exit and the Awesomebar (okay, I don't technically need that but I've come to like it (set to just display bookmarks)) in 3.0.
No, everyone knows that Chuck Norris is the father of all life on earth. Except for the weak ones: those he merely tolerates their continued existence until such time as he must vent some of his rage through his foot.
Seeing as you're posting on Slashdot, it's a fair bet that you can fix his computer. Now, it's a problem when he says "Could you fix my computer?" </grammarnazi>

If we were free to downgrade the system I don't think people would be as annoyed, but each update kills the ability to go back
Then don't upgrade? Or is it one of those forced updates?
I rather have "boring and stable" software crashing and system hanging up
I totally agree! And here I thought I was just crazy. (Hint: Here's the period you forgot: .)
I accidentally the Nazi's. Do you think they will want them back?
The end user has no reason to care about this, right? It's just an implementation thing?

But replies to them usually need one in order to be cogent.
I think if you that sentence a verb, it might make a bit more sense.
TrueCrypt doesn't do folders. It makes encrypted volumes that can either be a file, or a partition.
Is there a function for Truecrypt to use cowfs or auto resizing files?
Yes. I thought "dynamically expanding file" was the default during volume creation?
found that all COX-blockers increase the risk of heart problems
Not to put too fine a point on it, but I'd say that guy got COX-blocked pretty hard.

sail uneventfully through the event horizon
*rimshot*
Scientists at the Space Weather Laboratory flew into action, modeling the event to determine how close it had come to the spacecraft
They modeled how close it came to destroying the orbiter? Wow, that's pretty impressive, guys...way to keep one step ahead...

To be fair, it is my experience that Firefox does that for other things too, say, loading J Random Slashdot Article for instance :-)

Yeah, that's what they call "science." How silly.

My, how helpful a comment: A single word, and it's an acronym that I have to look up. Lo and behold, it's an insult.

Did you miss the part where he has several terabytes of data? Have fun waiting the next entire minute for your search results.
...So, basically it's a New Window?
2. By the way, I haven't taken my medication.
Depending on the medical condition, couldn't that actually be a good thing?
You forgot the obligatory 'obligatory.'
Also, is that that 'that' that that 'that' refers to?
