There is a problem with every pirate detection. In the Netherlands (and a lot of other countries) you are allowed to make a copy for private use, so you won't damage the original. All games with so-called piracy protection will damage this right. We even pay a levy on each recording disk in order to pay artists/developers for this right (not that they actually get it. It stays in our version of the RIAA)
one 10^-33-th = 1/(10^-33)=10^33 You lost 10^33 as much spam as you had? Interresting! All the spam must be gone, even the spam from the future and the past!
The main energy requirement to create silicon is heat. Why the hell would you choose to use PV cells (at 20%) to create electricity to create heat to create silicon, when a mirror based solar tower would provide that heat at a far greater efficiency?
- They will probably use salt based solar thermal plants
- A logical next step would actually be to build a solar thermal plant that doesn't generate electricity but uses the heat directly to refine silicon. Not for use on site, but to sell.
- Again: there is electricity enough there. A cooling system capable of pumping liquid nitrogen trough a heavy insulated line would be no big issue.
6: Don't use a web browser for e-mail, and don't use your e-mail reader for web content.
What's the problem with web based email? Google scans all my attachments BEFORE they reach my system. On a local email client the attachment will be downloaded before it is scanned. Dunno for sure, but the web based way seems secure. Also a lot of people use Outlook, and it has been a target for exploits in the past.
7: Don't follow links in e-mails. Cut and paste links if you have to.
What's the difference? People don't look at the link, even when they copy-paste it. The webbrowser should prevent nastiness from getting in in both cases.
With antivirus software you do NOT get what you pay for. Most tests I have seen (from the Dutch "Consumentenbond" for example) indicated the free versions to be as good as or better than the payed ones. I have seen Norton-protected systems, slow and riddled with virusses. Mcafee isn't much better. The payed virus scanners I saw suck (so do some of the free ones, most likely). For my parent's PC I chose Free-AV, until MSSE came and proved itself. For my own system I will probably use MSSE and have a backup Suse to boot if and when it won't boot (for any reason. Including virusscanners and malware).
An LCD cover over your lens may be perfect. The power triggered by an LDR or light dependent diode via a comparator. Maybe a capacitor and a potmeter somewhere to set the shutter time. Set the trigger up so it is default ON.
The LCD cover could theoretically be taken from some 3d shutter glasses (preferably glasses which have been mauled by a dog/crushed by a behind, but with one glass intact)
And you can use them to test whether your crash test dummy has sustained damage when you blow him up/throw him of a building/crash a car with him in it.
On Mythbusters (S01E16 if I'm correct) they had these glass vials of artificial skunk smell. Use them as shock watches and let the person who drops the package throw up. The smell dissipates within minutes (one of the problems Adam and Jamie had) so his colleagues after him should not have much of a problem.
Maybe the 10th was so good everybody had a hangover on the 11th and decided to call in sick and stay at home.

I'm not sure how he did it exactly, but a friend of mine piped parts of his BSD kernel to his speaker, just for the fun of it.
As root you should have read acces to the device, so I'd try the commands:
play/boot/kernel
cat/boot/kernel |/dev/audio
dd if=/boot/kernel of=/dev/audio (warning: this may remove all audio devices. I am not sure. Do not try it on any machine you can't miss. Hell, don't try anything with dd or things you found on the internet on a machine you can't miss, unless you have tried them on a clone first.)
It would let viruses create some custom FPGA code that would be able to crack any encrypted files you had in mere seconds, instead of hours.
Err, this is a small FPGA. If these could crack encrypted files within seconds the NSA would have the high power (more than 10 times as many gates) versions in great arrays and brute force crack 256 bit AES within hours. Nowadays the time required is longer than the expected lifetime of the sun (the life expectancy of the sun is 5.000.000.000 years.)
Well, they do advise to use a firewall and virus scanner. The largest botnets are created by taking over unprotected systems, so the largest botnets are created from people who didn't follow their advise. Imagine a person building a barn without locks, someone sneaks in and starts a terrorist group there. Are the people that provided him with the material to build a barn responsible for the terrorist group?
Don't get me wrong I do think M$ should do something about it, but the spammer is the largest culprit here. The owners of the system are the next. The OS developers do carry some blame, but only a little. They just have the best opportunity to fix it. By not only advising M$ security essentials but downloading and installing it at first boot they could fix it. However if they did they would be sued for abusing a monopoly position. Mcafee and Norton may provide with worthless software(to the extent they should be sued for malpractice), but they do gather money with it.
Disclaimer: I use linux to great pleasure. I have protected systems (my parent's system for example) from the occasion hacker. I have educated them not to install shit without my advise. I have splitted up admin and user rights on Windows.
I'd imagine they would start optimising the reprogrammability, if this sells well. Nonetheless: Multitasking the FPGA in the traditional sense woule be a real bitch. They will never get it to speeds like 0.1s. More like 5s.
However: an FPGA can be programmed with multiple programs in parallel, as long as all the code can fit into it, so 2 or 3 small programs in an FPGA would not be a problem. This is not multitasking in the way the OS does it now on a single core; the programs truly run in parallel. The total amount of program complexibility would be limited, while the current CPU's can handle a nearly infinite amount of tasks (while this is unpractical). The OS would have to determine whether a new program requesting FPGA space actually fits in the available space, but with some programming this can be done. If a program cannot use FPGA space there are some options, but my choice for the default would be to let the program run on the code created for CPU's without an FPGA, since you would need that code anyways. An OS setting could cause a conflict to invoke an error message instead, or even a list with FPGA using programs, allowing the user to kill a program that uses FPGA space in order to start another program.
It means that intel has thrown an FPGA into a normal CPU. FPGA's are highly programmable chips that are very fast in the thing they are programmed for. Changing the programming takes, by comparison, a lot of time and they usually can't do anything else than what they are programmed for.
If you would program one to be a decryption device you could have very fast decryption, but you can't let it do something else when there is nothing to decrypt (multitask).
All in all the result will be a major increase for applications that are reprogrammed to be in the FPGA (and are small enough for the FPGA) but nothing will change for the other applications.
There are many other chances and limitations, as it is a completely different device, but these are the most important (as far as I know) in this case.
The big surprise is I had no idea China had that many users.
It depends. Their standards of saying they are connected to the internet may differ from mine. I do not think this list requires true, unfiltered internet.
No, not on the website. This can and probably will be hacked. Demand the customer to call the ISP in order to allow it, but allow the lowest helpdesk employee to tick that box. On any indication of spam sending the box should become unticked.
It depends on the country in which the perpetrator lives. I, in the Netherlands, can legally copy my DVDs for private use and store the originals somewhere safe. The copyright cannot overrule the law.
Yes it would. Just use a simple substitute code for HOH and count them. Map the floor and assume an uniform distribution. Waves are quite random so that data doesn't have to be preserved. Add locations and descriptions of the fish, plants and marine mammals. The compression rate would be great [/woosh]

You didn't. I have never failed a calculus test in my life. Please enlighten me where I am wrong.
one third = 1/3
one fifth = 1/5
10^-1 = 0.1 = 1/(10^1)
10^-3 = 0.001 = 1/(10^3)
one 10^-33-th = 1/(10^-33) = 1/(1/(10^33)) = 10^33
With all the talent lying aroung here, why can't we just take unilateral action to attack this guy and his botnet?
Most of us pretend to be hackers/lawyers/sentient. The actual talent here may be below zero.
one 10^-33-th = 1/(10^-33)=10^33

But the sun is transforming it's mass to energy anyway. It's not like not using it would let the sun live longer.
