Blizzard obviously has no interest in catering to the small percentage of the population that wants to play multiplayer with no internet connection
The percentage of the population that wants to be able play multiplayer with no internet connection is roughly equivalent to the percentage of the population who has had an internet outage. That is, just about everyone.
His proposed solution is essentially how SSH does it. What's wrong with that? Why would I ever need to "rotate" a key. They don't go bad, unless they've been compromised. If they were compromised, I'd like to know about it.
When did I compare the US government to China? You said the US government has made mistakes. "We're not as bad as China" does not excuse those mistakes.
Personally, I care more about the abuses of the US government than those of China because I live here. Those abuses directly affect me. I'm glad we're not China, but without eternal vigilance, someday we could be.
If you have to choose between shipping an open source driver that only does 2d, and an open source driver that does 2d well and 3d poorly which would you choose? People still have the choice to install the official Nvidia driver that they've always had. So this is a good step forward. If it's enough for Compiz, and can do kernel mode setting (which Nvidia's driver won't do), then it'll please a lot of people.
What other software has become a verb? Most archive formats have been verbed, zip, rar, etc. Grep, of course, is a verb. If networked software counts, Google would be one. Blast (from NCBI) is often used as a verb too.
There's a Norfolk here in Nebraska. It's called "nor-fork". And there's a Buena Vista University just across the river in IA. I cringe every time I hear a radio ad for them. Bew-nah Vista. Just awful.
Still if you're going to complain about odd spellings and pronunciations, I'd say the British still take the cake with "Worcestershire".
Indeed. Imagine what would happen if the power company could only deliver enough power for the average consumer. There's a reason our utilities are designed to deliver more than they expect people to use at *peak*. Internet access should be no different.
In the mid-90s the Telecom industry was given 200 billion dollars to roll out 45 megabit internet across the country. Nothing ever came of it, and the telecom industry got to pocket that $200 billion.
Sounds to me that the telecoms should know a good thing when they hear it.
I'm suprised you have such good results. I also have a P-III running at home. It's got dual 450 mhz processors, 512mb ram, and a Geforce 4MX 400 running XFCE. It's servicable for playing xvids and mp3s, but I don't like it for web browsing one bit. Not even Opera seems to render fast enough to be pleasant. I've really been thinking about replacing it with an Atom box.
If you really want to reduce fraud, make the banks financially responsible for it. As it is, there's little incentive for the industry to increase their security.
I'm not saying this guy shouldn't be in jail. We should absolutely punish those who take unfair advantage of the system. But if we really want results, we should fix the system.
Maybe in the 90s, but for the past 10 years at least I've had no problems. Just about every drive I bought from 20 gig to 1000 gig has been a WD with no problems whatsoever. I think I did have a 40gb maxtor at one point but it died. And Seagate? Their recent problems with the 7200.11 drives has kept me from buying any of those.
I have been buying Samsung recently, as I've found them cheaper than WD and quite reliable. I've heard very of very few problems with Samsung, but I'm sure someone will chime in here now. No matter what drives you buy, you will eventually suffer a failure. That's what backups are for.
If he was really too fat to fly they never should have sold him a ticket.
I understand the sentiment, but how would you implement that? Are you going to make people weigh in before they can buy a ticket? Going to rely on self reporting?

Except that the FBI and NSA can't do a MITM with your encrypted communications like CNNIC theoretically can.
How do you know that?

Yes, wiretapping is wiretapping. Wiretapping is not murder. I'm not sure why you brought it up.
I use xrandr to change the resolution of my GTS 250 all the time.

You could say the same about any certificate authority. What reason do we have to believe that any CA is not compromised by the NSA?
If you want to protect yourself against the government, you cannot trust any third party. Exchange your keys manually, in person.
Unless your nation has a track record of spying on its citizens web traffic, then you have a much more unfounded claim.
You mean, like when the FBI put splitters into AT&T offices to monitor all the internet traffic going through them?
Remember, any authority that can be abused will be abused. I wouldn't trust any certificate authority to protect me against the government.

#3 - Who "peer-reviewed" the study?
You don't do much research do yout? Peer reviewers are anonymous.
Exactly. Does anybody remember seeing a movie called the Cube?
Wow. Just wow. What a cool concept
I think having Jim Henson producing it had something to do with that. No amount of money can replace genius.

And what's the problem anyway? I've always liked Sandisk media.
Get with it. Here in Nebraska we already have 4-H
And somehow over the course of a decade and a dozen HDDs I suffered no WD related failures, and 1 out of 1 maxtor disks failed.
Did I get lucky, or did you get unlucky? Who knows?

The Apple II is still a ton of fun to use. Great for games and programming.
For once, it's a top ten list that's all on one page. Go ahead, click through, it won't hurt!
