That might not be enough, come next primary, when their teabagger opponent from the (even FURTHER) right is hollering about how the RINO incumbent believes in (omg) GLOBAL WARMING.
I've felt it (and I've felt plenty of other buzzes, too).
Notably, I have only felt it during the (few, brief) periods in my life that I've been in excellent physical shape. If I'd start exercising but quit before tiring myself out, I'd feel frustrated. But if I exercised to a decent level of fatigue, I'd feel a strong sense of well-being.
At the moment I'm in terrible cardio shape, and all I feel when running is awful. I don't think the "runner's high" happens until you're a runner.
They were hydraulically powered humanoid robots that beat on each other until either one of them stopped functioning or it went to the judges' decision.
I just watched some highlights and man, is that lame. The robots have legs, and the legs move like they're walking, but the robots are actually just stuck on the end of big metal poles that move them around the ring.
I understand that technology isn't to the point where a bipedal robot can balance itself while executing complex movements, let alone while something else is trying to knock it down. But what they have there is stupid enough that they just shouldn't have bothered.
I agree that the word "historic" is probably overapplied, but come on, it's going to land on a fucking comet for the first time in, uh, what's that word I'm looking for? Oh yeah, history.
Buying my groceries from a different store for a month is one thing. But how do you expect a boycott of an ISP to work? People cancel their currently-installed service, possibly incurring an early termination fee, then pay to have competing service installed, which probably a) doesn't exist or b) is just another name on the same list?
I'm sorry, but a boycott is just an asinine suggestion in this context.
Nope. Consider doubling your password size from 64 to 128 bits. While it would take twice as long to check all the bits and make sure they're correct, brute forcing now has to guess among 2^128, rather than 2^64, possibilities, which is enormously more difficult.
This is a gross simplification of how any real-life security scheme works, but it illustrates the concept.
God, you blinkered, jackbooted, establishment thugs disgust me. You pretend to be open-minded while you mindlessly oppress anyone who dares to think outside the approved mainstream.
Just because this guy is a convicted felon (for fraud) doesn't mean he's committing fraud now. Just because he's been caught lying about this exact thing before doesn't rule out the possibility that he's discovered some genuinely revolutionary new physical process since then that makes the thing he was lying about before work for real now.
You mainstream scientific establishment sheep make me sick. If everyone was like you we'd still think the Earth was flat like everyone before Columbus did.
Thank you for this. Here's a particularly damning excerpt from the introduction:
- Considering the fundamental and crucial importance of the measurement of the input electrical power, it is rather surprising that the report is quite brief on the details of the electrical circuits and measurements. The lack of a clear circuit diagram has already been mentioned. Other concerns not discussed in the report are the possibility of DC power, the waveforms of voltage and current at various points in the system, the possibility of power through ground leads or other ways that undisclosed electrical power can be supplied to the device.
- Previous tests have reported important discrepancies between the electrical input poweras claimed by Rossi and those actually measured by specialists with proper electrical measurement equipment, to the extent where no excess heat production could be inferred [2]. With the knowledge of such critical observations a much more thorough reporting on the electrical measurements should have been provided.
- To be more specific still, since the results of the expert measurements referred to in the previous paragraph seem to have deviated from what was claimed by Rossi by a factor of about 3, which happens to coincide with the excess heat observed also in the March test, we would have expected a clear description of how the risk of such inconsistencies was avoided, and even an involvement of the specialists from the SP institute.
- In view of these severe inconsistencies, the fact that the control unit providing the electrical power was “not available for inspection, inasmuch as they are part of the industrial trade secret” (pg 15) is even more disturbing.
Not all that well in Python's case, but if 2.6 sucked as bad as PHP does now, there might be more urgency. And Perl 6 might get a bit more traction when and if it starts existing.

I don't think your math checks out. Being very generous and knocking $1k off for the electronics, $9k of gold is almost eight ounces, as I write this.
Maybe their expectation is that the appeal to military authority will carry more weight than the appeal to a scientific one?
Well, they're about the only scientists who don't have to worry about their funding...
It's depressing and (I wish) shocking how many people here who try to pass themselves off as informed don't immediately realize this.

Does the computer have to do everything for you?
It should do everything he wants it to do. Jesus, did you really just ask that on Slashdot? Either you don't belong here, or I don't anymore.

The closest thing to what you're describing was a 2013 SciFi series called http://www.syfy.com/robotcombatleague.

Oops, definitely slipped a few decimals there. Apologies to parent.
So every bakery is spending half a million dollars an hour on electricity? That doesn't pass the sniff test.
Subtle...exodus?

That's not something I'd describe as "reusing passwords".
This is why.

Too bad the operators of coal plants don't have to take all that into account.
Wow, going from 2000 to 327,661 iterations sounds like a big deal. Does that actually add any value, or is that like doing rot-13 a million times?
Any idiot knows you have to do it a million and one times.

When did "News for nerds, stuff that matters" disappear from the Slashdot homepage?
"Stuff that matters", indeed.

Did you mean "undo"? I honestly can't tell...
Simple: with unlimited energy, we can run every air conditioner on the planet 24/7, fixing global warming as a side effect!
