In the next few weeks Verizon will be rolling out fibre to my neighborhood. And while Verizon may have its own issues, it will be interesting to see what Comcast has to say when I start to think about shifting ISPs.
It not his fault, elsewhere in the world they pronounce it as solder. In the US it is pronounced as sodder for some reason I can't fathom. Sort of like herb vs erb. And while they pronounce Grand Prix with the French pronunciation, they screw up coupe and mangle it with a hard "p" and drop the "e".
From my understanding it does serve a practical purpose in that intercepting the message changes it. Thus while you can't stop people from tapping into your message, you do have instant feedback about when that happens.
Back in the mid 70's, Electronics Australia (hobbyist HAM radio and electronics magazine - now defunct) did a mock project that showed you how to make a non-portable atomic bomb. The design was based on firing a large uranium bullet at a uranium target. The target was encased with several tonnes of concrete in order to contain the critical mass long enough for an explosion to occur. In the article they talked about how construction of the bomb would basically kill the workers, which at the time seemed stupid, but in these days of suicide bombers seems reasonable.
The fact that I choose not to have a cell phone, iPod, Blackberry and other electronic gizmos does not mean I have no concept of technology.
Actually it probably means you have a better grasp of technology than the average. You understand what actually works for you and reject anything that is just *shiny* *shiny*
I work in an industrial environment and one thing you want is stability. Being an early adopter is the antithesis of this. So I may not work on the latest and greatest, but I know that what I do work on is rock solid and will keep running for an extended period of time.
By 2014, anyone seeking to board an airplane or enter a federal building would have to present a REAL ID-compliant driver's license, with the notable exception of those more than 50 years old, Homeland Security officials said
So how do you get on a plane or into a federal building if you don't have a REAL ID compliant license, like um..
people without drivers licenses? You know.. the ones who haven't had a need for a car
I checked out the Coverity website and saw on the list of projects the aalib ASCII art library which according to the history hasn't been updated for something like 7 years.
Damn we better protect ourselves from Terrists hiding their WMD's in ASCI art
It looks like to me that the basic premise for most things in the USA is to do something or grant something and then let the courts work it out after the fact. This has the benefit of getting things done cheaply along with that only the people who are grievously upset will bother to fight things in the courts (which is really those who have money to do so)
To me this is a direct result of a purely capitalistic approach - the worship of the Dollar.
What would be better to do would be to actually examine what is being processed and to grant/deny based on its merits - but that would take way more $dollars
Capitalism is a great way to find the lowest $dollar cost to a process, but the lowest $dollar cost may not be the best overall solution for society.
I know that this is off topic but one thing that annoys me about living in the US is the principal that if there is an exposed surface that someone can see, then you have to sell it off to someone to use as a place for advertising.
Last time I flew I couldn't believe how far that this idea had gone. There were advertisements on the bottom of the plastic trays that you stack your belongings in when you slide them through the x-ray machines.
Who in their right mind though that this was a valuable place to sell space? Who were the idiots who bought it? At most you see the bottom of that tray for a second or two and I am sure as hell not thinking about buying things when I am in the x-ray machine line.
Does everything *Have* to *Have* advertising plastered on it?/rant
Just near where the first part of the movie blanks out, there is a very interesting linear feature that spreads across a good quarter of the shot. If I was on a plane flying over a terrestrial desert and saw something like that I would say it was a road. Can anyone give a better explanation than Moon Highway #1?
I am not a biblical scholar either (which is why you caught me out on the tribes relationships). But your interpretation raises other issues. In general Lots story is about Soddom and Gomorrah losing their way and being targeted for destruction by God. When two angels arrive (disguised as men) they are impressed by Lots civilised behaviour amongst all the other crap going around (including Lot offering up his own daughters to a crowd of rabble raisers in order to shield his guests and thus meet his committants of hospitality) As a result Lot is given advanced warning and is able to get out of Dodge before the cities are destroyed. So we have a story of an honorable man trapped in a bad situation being able to escape the fate of those around him through his belief in God.
But now your spin on this that the following chapter of the story dealing with Lot and his daughters is really meant as an insult by one particular group of Jews to another. Yet the story could not have unfolded to that point with out the destruction of the cities. So to me, that interpretation undermines the whole Soddom and Gomorrah story. If you are right, then how can you reconcile some group slapping some hate speech into the Bible with the idea that the Bible is meant to be an authorative tome on all things good. From my point of view such a disconnect would have to be very destructive to Christianity in general (unless you take the point that the New Testament invalidates the Old)

How about image fresh system, apply patches, compare result with fresh system? No need to break encryption at all.
.. TPM anyone?
The only way you can stop this is if all system data was encrypted and the user was not trusted with the keys to decrypt.
Now where have I heard that before??? Hmmm
Come on down to Racetrack Memory.
Set your data running the loop and then sit back and watch the fun.
Have drunken parties as you watch you bits speed around the course.
Place bets on your bits coming in first, a place, or if you are feeling really lucky plonk your money down for a trifecta.
Its so much fun for the whole family that even if you lose you still win!!
OK, but have you seen the list of items that people who bough the Badonkadonk also bought??? Talk about strange.

I first saw this in a Tandberg cartoon years and years ago. PIty I can't find the original.
Really spooky .. when I opened my browser to /. this story had 273 comments.

I hit submit by accident and *then* realised what the OP meant by not being able to display cyrillic chars.
The name is HectoR
.. so what would I know anyway?
So you need to transliterate the name with that damn awful reversal of the western 'R' glyph acting as a replacement the russian '' glyph.
So that would give you a russian transliteration of which is phonetically closer to 'nyes-to-ya'
Of course I am not a native russian speaker
You can't just take one out of the silo and set it off to see if it goes Bang! [1]
So they are stuck with taking a model of a bomb out of a virtual silo and seeing if it goes Bang! virtually [2]
[1] Your results may vary with the age, size and design of the weapon
[2] Your results *will* vary with the quality of the model, which is related to how fast you can run it.
We found that Vegemite is way much better!

Here is a list of 25 companies that look like they are doing fun things with tech. Its a job seekers dream.

"Genesis 19:36"
Which happens to read something like:
"Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father."
