L1/L2 caches probably wouldn't be the best place to store keys since they're really just SRAM (static RAM). That is to say, the state of the memory will remain when power is lost, unless it's explicitly overwritten. If you wish to learn more about how memory storage is implemented on CPUs (registers, L1/L2 caches in modern machines), see wikipedia's article on Flip-flops (electronics).
1. The fifth amendment doesn't guarantee you protection against self-incrimination. Rather, it allows you to legally deny requests from the authorities whose results may incriminate you (e.g., avoidance of obstruction of justice charges). You can have a right not to answer their questions, deliver evidence, etc., etc., etc, on the condition that it would demonstrate you guilty of *some* crime.
If we assume voluntary confessions inadmissible in court as a result of the fifth amendment, nobody would be able to plead guilty to a crime -- that constitutes self-incrimination. Similarly, criminals who turn themselves in would have to be turned away because by turning themselves in, they are incriminating themselves.
The officer asked the man, "What are you doing?" It was and still is fully within the man's right to say, "I with to use my fifth amendment right and not answer." However, the man unwittingly offered up what amounted to an admissible confession, and was thusly boned.
1. The fifth amendment doesn't guarantee you protection against voluntary self-incrimination. How else would anyone be able to plead guilty or otherwise confess to a crime?
2. It's standard cop behavior to play dumb. How many times have you been stopped by a traffic cop who asked you, "do you know why I stopped you?" Answering in the affirmative is almost always an acknowledgment of wrongdoing admissible in court.
3. According to TFA, neither the man nor the cop knew what he was doing is illegal. Therefore, the cop couldn't extract a confession.
4. The courts have repeatedly ruled that you are just as culpable for breaking a law you are unaware of, as ones you are aware of.
I was actually trying to set myself up for a private joke of sorts.:P
Getting back to your point, fair enough. However, complaining about some author's clearly accidental typo is something of a pretty stupid point. Especially since the headline, URL and initial reference in the story have it right. It's like me complaining that your first sentence isn't capitalized.
Also, note that laws regarding recording interstate calls generally will adhere to the law of the more strict state. iirc, New York State only requires that one party of the conversation need consent to recording, which means that if your state has similarly lax laws, you will be able to legally record the conversation.
Honestly, a lot of mom & pop establishments just look like a number of the shops you see there. (see Abe's of Maine for a good example) They don't have the money to run what you would classify as a "classy" establishment, but they certainly could be very honest dealers. I say this as a child of a very entrepreneurial father who has run a couple of these sorts of shops, and rather successfully. As they say, don't judge a book by its cover!
And to be fair to the NYTimes, could it be possible that most music listeners in the US today generally will want mainstream music that they've heard on the radio, which is almost always *not* going to be available as a free/non-DRM download online?
You are overlooking the fact that cars have gotten much safer over that time period as well. A more accurate statistic would be number of accidents per n miles travelled. Either that, or coupling your stats with the number of fatalities per n accidents would accomplish the same goal.
The interval is 15 seconds. Thus, it can't be a contrail (inadequate time for dissipation). In fact, the plane probably couldn't have travelled as far as was necessary to generate a shadow that long.
Umm. If it's a very brief, very intense burst of light, it'd create a sharp image as shown. Kinda like a flash, in reverse. But it looks like the prior and subsequent images are framed identically, which implies that the camera was mounted on a tripod. In that case, the source of the light would have to *itself* be moving to blur.
However, often (and typically on a casual basis) you'll find people saying it's 1024 terabytes. This is because computers inherently like to deal with numbers as powers of two (and 2^10 is 1024, which is close). Rather than leaving ambiguity when using the metric prefixes, a new set of prefixes was devised to circumvent this issue:
oops. PC count is going to be off. "Up to" 2,000 PCs in a cluster times "Over" 30 clusters will give an indeterminate answer. I shot in the dark would be the 60,000 PCs I gave, but surely no guarantees there.
- Over four billion Web pages, each an average of 10KB, all fully indexed. - Up to 2,000 PCs in a cluster. - Over 30 clusters. - One petabyte of data in a cluster -- so much that hard disk error rates of 10-15 begin to be a real issue. - Sustained transfer rates of 2Gbps in a cluster. - An expectation that two machines will fail every day in each of the larger clusters. - No complete system failure since February 2000.
Now, 2,000 machines in a cluster, plus 1PB data, plus 2Gbps in a cluster times 30 clusters comes to:

Four points:
1. The fifth amendment doesn't guarantee you protection against voluntary self-incrimination. How else would anyone be able to plead guilty or otherwise confess to a crime?
2. It's standard cop behavior to play dumb. How many times have you been stopped by a traffic cop who asked you, "do you know why I stopped you?" Answering in the affirmative is almost always an acknowledgment of wrongdoing admissible in court.

If you would just RTFA, you would clearly see it's an iBook.
...because nobody would ever find the owner's fingerprint in their home!
This is yet another case of legislation coming up with the wrong solution to the right problem.

Umm. Is money an adequate explanation? There's a reason China continues to be declared "Most Favored Nation" with regard to trade.
Is it just me, or does it seem like there isn't much new in that article? (i.e., it's probably just a publicity stunt?)

The answer you're looking for is "yes". =-P

oops. PC count is going to be off. "Up to" 2,000 PCs in a cluster times "Over" 30 clusters will give an indeterminate answer. I shot in the dark would be the 60,000 PCs I gave, but surely no guarantees there.
The article states:
- Over four billion Web pages, each an average of 10KB, all fully indexed.
- Up to 2,000 PCs in a cluster.
- Over 30 clusters.
- One petabyte of data in a cluster -- so much that hard disk error rates of 10-15 begin to be a real issue.
- Sustained transfer rates of 2Gbps in a cluster.
- An expectation that two machines will fail every day in each of the larger clusters.
- No complete system failure since February 2000.
Now, 2,000 machines in a cluster, plus 1PB data, plus 2Gbps in a cluster times 30 clusters comes to:
- "Over" 60,000 PCs (!)
- "Over" 30PB data storage
- "Over" 60Gbps bandwidth
Also interesting:
- An expectation that two machines will fail every day in each of the larger clusters.
- No complete system failure since February 2000.
