I don't know why it isn't enabled by default, but Firefox has a click-to-play plugins option that should dramatically reduce the exposure to exploits like this. So NoScript isn't required.
Unless you pay extra, they say you can expect to lose data stored in S3 on a regular basis. There's nothing wrong with that per se, but it's something you need to plan for.
S3:
Designed to provide 99.99% durability and 99.99% availability of objects over a given year. This durability level corresponds to an average annual expected loss of 0.01% of objects.
Doesn't it seem strange to celebrate what was, after all, a major loss for our civilization? The fact that we lost both opening chapters of the space race (Sputnik 1 and Vostok 1) is a national shame, which should be burned into our memory to be sure, but celebrated? Hardly.
Celebrating the victories of our enemies is like spitting on the graves of the hundreds of thousands who died in the cold war.
Slashdot is U.S.-centric. We readily admit this, and really don't see it as a problem. Slashdot is run by Americans, after all, and the vast majority of our readership is in the U.S. We're certainly not opposed to doing more international stories, but we don't have any formal plans for making that happen. All we can really tell you is that if you're outside the U.S. and you have news, submit it, and if it looks interesting, we'll post it.
signal cannot reach the satellite from a submersible
GPS uses one-way communication, so there is never a need for a signal to reach a satellite. This is also the reason no one who operates a submersible on it's own (where it would need positioning data) would ever use this service. You would have to give away your position, and if you were willing to do that you would surface and use GPS.
Police in this country haven't cared about "fighting crime" for a long time. They merely exist as a means to generate municipal revenue through parking and traffic fines.
I've been robbed twice and hit by a drunk driver. In all three cases I called police, and the disbatcher explained to me that they no longer respond to calls about those sorts of crime.
The benchmarks quoted are average framerates, but what you really care about is the minimum. When you have 4 enemies on the screen and are running and shooting wildly is the time you most care about framerate, and it's also usually the time when your card is the most strained.
I would stay away from the Adaptec SATA Raid card. I bought one and it would quitely corrupt data. Every time I wrote a file to the disk, at least a few bytes would be corrupt.
I figured it was a bad card, so I sent it back, got a new one, and got the same results. I also cycled out the hard drives, so it wasn't a bad drive causing the problem.

Reminds me of the bootable CD standard, which was actually named "El Torito" after the Mexican restaurant it was invented in.

I'm pretty sure SPAM is SPiced hAM, not specially processed assorted meat.

It's real. I received it too.

Why do you want more than 30fps?
The benchmarks quoted are average framerates, but what you really care about is the minimum. When you have 4 enemies on the screen and are running and shooting wildly is the time you most care about framerate, and it's also usually the time when your card is the most strained.
In all fairness, the article says that the current system will last for the rest of the decade.

Stay away from the Adaptec 2410SA!!!
