Since when does one run applications from a mounted.dmg file instead of from the Applications folder? You're supposed to copy the application bundle in the.dmg to the Applications folder to install it, then trash the.dmg.
Most Linux distros have been signing packages since shortly after they stopped supporting vacuum tube based systems, and Windows users have been getting little boxes describing(or freaking out about the lack of) 'Authenticode' signatures on drivers, activex controls, and executables for years now...
I know you're trying to be funny, but Linux originally didn't support anything older than a 386, which was fairly new at the time.
Relevant to "new", OS X has been doing signature-checking for a while now too. Windows doesn't really warn you about a lack of signature on an executable, though. If it requires administrator privileges, the warning is different. (OS X is more or less the same way -- the admin-rights dialog displays signature information or lack thereof.)
Not really. You dropped the "how", which is important here. "How much" and "how little" are synonyms for "what amount" with different connotations. Most languages have that kind of subtlety as well.
I know you're just trolling or rabid, but actually (a) I'm a scientist and (b) it really has nothing with what I happen to think about various points in climate scientist. Everyone does it -- on the whole, readers are flat-out bad at assessing graphs and statistics, and writers are deceptive in creating them.
...those who are buying her music after her death are equally parasitic and not really deserving of any breaks.
I fail to see how buying her music shortly after her death is parasitic. Not real fans, sure. Trend-following, sure. Parasitic? It sounds like you don't know what that word means.
Technically when talking about the wealth of anyone you need to take into account more than salary, since income and wealth are totally different.
Still, it's true that you have to be careful with both the wealth and income of people like doctors, because they're very often small business owners with high costs.
It's actually data from three different satellites. (The much larger dataset from an earlier satellite is not included.) You can get information on how exactly the data is measured by searching for those satellite projects.
The data seems to actually be legitimate, although the period of observation is pretty short and the seasonal fluctuations are large compared to the trend they're measuring (which is why the larger dataset is useful). The European satellite's dataset is particularly short and suddenly substantially deviates from NASA's starting about two years ago.
100-million-digit numbers? That's about what, about a 330-million-bit number? I haven't seen too many 40 MiB public keys. Even the product of two 4096-bit numbers is only three thousand digits.
When that one comes up in a court case.. it can make the prosecution's job just a little bit harder.
A little bit, unless you're using NTFS and the investigator is familiar with this problem. Filename timestamps are updated in a particular pattern and aren't settable using Windows API calls like file timestamps are.
I drives people to use Google more? The same could be said of Picasa or Docs. In Docs, in particular, Google does not appear to do anything with the contents of your documents (there's not even advertising on the Docs page), and that's a much easier situation for them than if they're providing storage.
...the latter would provide no upside for Google...
That would imply that a service like Dropbox, which doesn't do advertising at all, could not possibly make money off of offering cloud storage, yet they do.
Note that this message didn't actually get to NASA. Morton Thiokol engineers told their management that they should delay the launch. The report from Morton Thiokol management to NASA, however, said that the launch should be no different from previous (successful) launches.
Your macbook cant do what an old P4 Laptop couldn't.
Bullshit. Unless, as the rest of your comment suggests, the specific application you're interested in has basically no CPU demand and is entirely performed by the graphics card. Even the M-series Core i5 (what's in the newest Air) outperforms a P4 and the SSD on an Air certainly outperforms a P4-era hard drive. So that's two components of "everything else" that are not worse.
To elaborate, the Intel graphics chip in your laptop is integrated into the CPU die, so it's powered from the same source as the CPU rather then being a seperate chip with a seperate power supply, do you honestly think you'll be getting the same battery life if you had a discrete graphics card?
Even discrete graphics cards share a power supply, although that's not what makes them more power-hungry. However, unless you know which Macbook Air he has, you don't know if it has Intel HD 3000 (which is on-die) or one of the nVidia mobile chips (which isn't). The older nVidia models got comparable battery life.
I didn't say anything about the appeals judges, only about the judge who makes the contempt-of-court ruling.
Notably, appeals court judges are supposed to only rule on points of law that are appealed. If your appeal is that you cannot be detained indefinitely for contempt of court and the judge's opinion is contrary, you'll continue to be detained whether the judge thinks it's right or not.
If they can conjure up enough evidence that wasn't actually on your hard drive to convince a judge that you're hiding encrypted data, they could have just conjured up enough evidence to have you convicted of the crime. Neither of those will stand up very well to a decent defense.
It indicates a need to hide or secure data, mostly from accidental loss, thieves, and assorted hackers. Both government and civilians use encryption for mundane security purposes all the time. For example, personnel data, financial data, health records, and corporate IP are frequently protected through encryption. Any home user that can reasonably claim that they are storing any of those things has a clear legal justification for using encryption.
(You could also claim that you're hiding your porn from your wife, roommate, or neighborhood thieves. Nothing illegal about that.)

Considering that the heart rate is only useful if you bother to measure it,
[ 1 minute high intensity -> 1 minute low intensity ] x 10, twice a week

Usually one doesn't apply the term "model" to a statement like "these groups [are] anti-science", which is the fact that "we've all known".
One problem with your comment here is that the best research does not actually indicate that public keys can be trivially broken.
It's actually data from three different satellites. (The much larger dataset from an earlier satellite is not included.) You can get information on how exactly the data is measured by searching for those satellite projects.
The data seems to actually be legitimate, although the period of observation is pretty short and the seasonal fluctuations are large compared to the trend they're measuring (which is why the larger dataset is useful).

Somehow, I always manage to be impressed at how bad people are at reading noisy graphs and at computing trends.
Actually, it's shorthand for, "this fact was well-established a while ago".
Ah, I see. You regularly work with the product of all of the moduli gathered, which would be a fairly large number.
100-million-digit numbers? That's about what, about a 330-million-bit number? I haven't seen too many 40 MiB public keys. Even the product of two 4096-bit numbers is only three thousand digits.
In addition, GPS-guided missiles are designed to still function well under loss of GPS signal. The military knows full well how brittle GPS can be.
About 1.5 months of one war is equal to a year's NASA budget, given reasonably conservative estimates of direct costs only.

Despite the fact that pretty much every piece of computer forensics software can tell the difference between a device inode and a regular-file inode.
You mean on a filesystem? Because that's where one usually stores files.
