Fck that right wing "pornography should be filtered to save our children...(and any other term that fits our agenda)" bllshit. The tools are out there for anyone who wants to filter their searches, webpages etc. I am perfectly capable of filtering what my daughter see's when she goes online so I don't need the nanny state to do it for me.
Matrix Reloaded: Trinity exploits an actual vulnerability to hack into the power station.
She launched her motorcycle into a guard station which promptly blew up. Yeah...that's one HUGE vulnerability. Amazingly the guards survived the explosion but weren't so lucky with the ass beating she dished out on them.
Carrie Ann Moss fucking ROCKS.
In other words, don't be a troll on Slashdot becasue you will get called out by a bunch of people who are smarter than you. Took that dumbass to school LMAO.
I realize that privacy is dead (Mark Zuckerberg is an asshole). With that said, we can now look at privacy in a different light. What will company x do for me in exchange for sharing information about myself (or in the case of facebook, all my friends etc). Some people choose to plaster all of their information all over the wall and accept random invites etc from friends of friends and some people will share their searches in exchange for cool apps and a browser that works. The end result is that we are trading our information (and by association our privacy) as a commodity for something else of value. It's not right that everyone and their uncle knows my business but once the horse is out of the barn it's hard as hell to get him back in there.
That's funny. I just assumed that the 512Gb was the L1 cache. It's not that unreasonable to have 512Gb of cache on a 4Tb drive right?? Considering cache memory is usually more expensive than the same amount of ram I'm guessing that we're out of luck. Bummer!
Is the American public capable of a revolution against the system that favors those with deep pockets?
Only when things are at their worst will we be ready to put down our corporate overlords and bribe taking congress. Until then...all hail to the corporate overlords.
Meh I read the page right under the one you quoted but I guess it's the same thing. Once they repealled the Glass-Steagull act it was pretty much all over. Citigroup was already in the process of becoming the biggest financial services conglomerate when Grahm and his cronies pushed this through the senate. I blame Clinton because he never should have gone along with them on this. I guess this is all 20/20 hindsight.
I know, let's not bother with that thing known as personal responsibility, let's legislate EVERYTHING!
While I agree with you in theory it's obvious that parents are not doing their jobs so government must step in SOMETIMES.
Besides, how the hell is this a science post? It must be a slow day at Slashdot.
Sure, the government could have done more to regulate the ridiculous financial instruments invented in the last ten years or so.
I blame Clinton. The Bank Deregulation Act of 1999 was the catalyst for the events that brought our economy down. He and the House Republicans (figured they had to be involved somehow) agreed to overturn the Glass-Steagall Act which kept those greedy $#^^%* bastards in check.
You don't consider that to be a lot of broken promises? I would argue that even one broken promise is too many.
Not trying to start a flame war here but I would consider you an idealist or a Republican. Have we ever had a president that didn't break some or all of his promises? I think not.
Now he's trying to piss-off our ally Israel by demanding they stop building in the Palestinian zone, else they'll lose American military assistance, and so on.
Isreal's unwillingness to stop building in the Palestinian zone has been a major sticking point that has stood in the way of progress for years in this part of the country. Yes I know they won the territory back in 1948. People in this area have been killing each other for at least a hundred years over what, a patch of land? There can be no peace until someone gives in and no president prior to Obama has been willing to push this issue.
I think its great when the people discovering the problem, and the people being alerted about the problem behave so well to each other. (They sent the paper to google a month before releasing the final thing.)
That only works for Google. You know damn well if they sent that data to Microsoft they would have denied it for several months only to fix it when an exploit was released in the wild.That's how the Redmond spin works
Successful is a very loaded word. I bought COD MW2 instead of pirating it so from the developers standpoint it was successful. They were unsuccessful in convincing me to buy any other Steam games because of the shitty experience I had with their product. This is where they will fail. It may take a while becasue people are strangely tolerant of this type of shit but they will fail.
Apple doesn't even have the #1 spot in smartphone manufacturers, I don't know where you get "monopoly" from.
Manufacturing is irrelevant as Apple barely makes any hardware in the Iphone so your arguement holds no water. Name another company who makes or markets smartphones that has one phone which matches sales of Iphone. That's what is relevant.
Speaking directly to google I have to say I'd rather see targeted ad's then the usual crap "suburban mom teaches 1 simple trick to whiten teeth, make your penis bigger etc". I call that a value added service. I use their free products and they supply me with relevant targeted advertisments. As for the social networking bit, you get what you deserve when you use that type of service. Being anti social myself I have no use for that trash. I suppose it's probably a chick thing since my wife practically lives on Facebook.
They're not surprising findings, but the National Science Board, which oversees the National Science Foundation (NSF), says it chose to leave the section out of the 2010 edition of the biennial Science and Engineering Indicators because the survey questions used to measure knowledge of the two topics force respondents to choose between factual knowledge and religious beliefs.
IMHO religion has no place in a scientific report. That's not to say that the two sides can't coexist. In fact they must coexist or our country will end up like Afghanistan under Taliban rule. I think fundamentalist's see science as the enemy instead of man's attempt to understand the workings of god.
Dudes always seemed to just do a once-over with what I assume was a radiation detector in a van driving around base, and then break for vodka around noon.
LMFAO break for vodka at noon. Such a stereotype yet so funny. In Germany the vodka still owns you.

I thought NASA has been doing underwater habitat isolation studies for years.
They got new money. No space program = lets spend money on other cool stuff.
Cut it up! Loud mouth neighbor too large for freezer? Cut him up!
Yeah I had a neighbor like that once. He ended up in his own freezer /hides evidence

It's not the unholy creation of satan that it once was.
That's because they officially stopped supporting IE 6. IE 8 is not that much better but at least they cleaned up their act when it comes to security.
WTF. The White Album....where did that come from. Reference please.

Naively looking at Ironman (well, 1) as a science fiction movie shows that it gets most science stuff wrong as usual.
That was your first mistake. Iron Man was an action movie (and not an especially good one at that).
Watch Iron Man again. Then watch Dark Knight again. Tell me Iron Man is in the same class.
The mans got a good point. It'll never hold up against the Dark Knight but RDJ did a decent job with the character. I blame the script.
It can't possibly live up to the preformance he gave as Sherlock Holmes. Now that's a sequel I'd like to.....damn. /reads above post. Never mind.

So... pretty much standard business model then. When I saw the original story on slashdot I figured we would see more of this.
