Bionics is researching nature's biological solution to problems & reimplementing them in non-biological domains such as electronics.
The definition of bionics is:"Bionics (also known as biomimetics, biognosis, biomimicry, or bionical creativity engineering) is the application of methods and systems found in nature to the study and design of engineering systems and modern technology." so, once again the story submitter has used words he doesn't understand to clearly illustrate that he doesn't know what he's talking about.
How come kdawson posts a story like this to slashdot when another study of equivalent academic value (none) shows that $racialgroup1 is more intelligent than $racialgroup2? Because kdawson is a bigot.
Intra EU only however. You'll probably end up paying even more if your home operator is from outside the EU because the carriers are looking for a way to make up their "lost" profits.
As a footnote, I wish TFA had been explicit enough to say that the iPhone has a airplane mode & that the dumbass only put his iPhones in sleep/screen off mode. My initial reaction pushing Apple & ATT to eat the charges was because TFA intimated that there was no way to stop iPhones from transmitting.
If Apple wants to sell more than a token number of iPhones to people outside the USA as it is planning to. Given that countries elsewhere are smaller, the likelihood that a user is not in their home country is much larger. If the iPhone cannot be taken outside your home country - even when off - what use is it?
The only correct resolution is for Apple & ATT to eat these charges until the iPhone's GSM radio can be set to OFF when not inside the coverage of the selected carrier.
According to what Yahoo reps have been saying in the ~ 2 years since they bought MM, they were taking all the best features of MMJB & integrating them into Yahoo's existing client. I'm not impressed with their "integration" of MMJB's "best features". I'm subscribed to a Musicmatch mailing list @home with the detailed info, but from what everyone has been saying there, The only significant advantage in the new Yahoo client is Yahoo's DRM'ed OnDemand music subscription which has a better collection than MMJB's.
There are many things not to like about MMJB:
Tags that are changed when MMJB is playing a song are not updated in the MP3 files themselves. The Library is updated, but not the files.
Versions before 9.0 had multiple libraries which I used extensively. MMJB 10.0 only has 1 library.
MMJB used to have skins that were well documented & easily changeable. No longer.
MMJB used to be a fairly lightweight audio player. MMJB has multiple background processes that must run on system startup.
These daemon processes are the cause on 90% of MMJB's crashes.
These daemon processes do not die easily causing slow reboots (you usually have to kill the processes off when after 30 seconds of inactivity windows notes that they didn't die when asked "nicely").
These daemon processes prevent external volumes like USB disks & keys from unmounting cleanly, so you have to kill them off by hand.
The one task that the deamon processes are supposed to be useful for from a users point of view (noticing that I renamed/moved files in my MP3 collection using the windows explorer so that MMJB will update the library) does not work reliably. I still have to go in & fix the library by hand.
The Jukebox + features like super tagging that I bought so that I could easily relabel my collection have stopped working because yahoo has turned off the web servers that they rely on.
I have a "lifetime" MMJB+ license without any of the DRM'ed "On Demand" features. I tried the Yahoo client and agree with BanjoBob that for me at least, is worse than MMJB.

Your URL mostly deals with the origins of the NT IP stack which it says was BSD STREAMS based & rewritten to use winsock. While later in the article it implies that the new stack is not BSD based it is referring to the first port & not the newer stack, the origin of which it does not detail.
Is the Win2K IP stack BSD based? In the words of Bill Gates, "It depends on what the definition of the word 'is' is". Until I see an article from an identified person saying "We wrote the stack & it is not BSD based", I'm not inclined to change my opinion.
Nice try chicken little, but tidal forces would tend to align ISS' axis of widest weight distribution with the center of the earth & not make it spin. Pull the other one...
The French Yellowpages have had pictures of addresses with recognizable people on their website for years. Search for an address in Paris then click on "Photo" link. While the pictures are small, and usually taken early enough in the day that few people are around, if you navigate around you can find pictures of buildings with recognizable people in them.
If these privacy kooks want to condemn google, they should have condemned FT first.
Windows network code had major issues all the time until Win2K where they abandoned their buggy homegrown IP stack and adapted BSDs IP stack. Even if they stole Novell's code, it wasn't enough.
The russian government is to blame because the over the top rhetoric of the government controlled media is to blame for fanning the flames of the nationalists who perpetrated the act. Putin (& the rest of the russian government) cannot escape the blame by saying "I didn't say that, it was the media" when the government controls the media. Putin's drive to take control of the russian media has thus robbed him of this excuse. The acts of the russian nationalists are indefensible by sniggering "They deserved everything they got when they impugned the honor of Mother Russia". You may be able to justify it to yourselves, but the hypocrisy of the situation is clearly visible to outside observers.
I admire much about Russia & it's culture, but globally, Russia's treatment (recent & historic) of the Estonians is a shameful moment of russian history.
A military is needed to protect the civilian populations from situations like that occurring presently in northern Lebanon. The civilian population in the camp is suffering because no military was present to prevent an armed organization installing itself in it's midst. In an ideal world, no such forces would be present but as we do not live in an ideal world, we will always need armed forces to protect the sheep from the wolves.
Oh, puhlease... You may accept information from slashdot/wired/other as gospel, but some of us think for ourselves.
Wired's analysis is so flawed as to be completely useless. The Wired "report" stated that "we see attacks coming from around the world, so the cyber attack is not coming from Russia". Given that we know that the DDOS attack was botnet generated and that botnets are a global problem, of course the attacks were coming from everywhere! The only way to clearly determine where the attacsk were coming from would be to have the logs of the control channels of the botnets used in the DDOS & determine who set them on this DDOS attack.
There may be no concrete trail of evidence leading to the kremlin, yet there is no evidence that clears them either.
If you're so sure that President Clinton was so worried about DDOS attacks you'll certainly be able to find a reference to him saying so, right? I won't hold my breath waiting for a response...
The problem with your position is that by pushing URPF you're attempting to win the last war when DDOS techniques have moved on. URPF et al is only useful when hosts are sending data with spoofed source addresses that can be fairly easily identified & filtered. It's an old technique. Botnets with tens or hundreds of thousands of members can DDOS without resorting to spoofing. Utility of URPF here? None.
My parting shot on how URPF & similar technologies are not a panacea against DDOS attacks is this. Utility of URPF for P2P DDOS attacks? (Hopefully you're finally getting my point) None.
I've met a few members of the GIGN team that assaulted the plane, so I'm well aware of the circumstances. None believed at the time that the GIA intended to die in a mass suicide. Much of the reasoning that 8969 was a suicide mission is from the fact that one of their main demands was for a fully fueled plane. Post 9/11, many outsiders have reinterpreted that it was so that they could crash the plane in Paris, yet at the time everyone believed that it was so that the plane could fly to Beirut to make good their escape. Another difference between 9/11 & 8969 (bringing the thread back to the original point) is that on 8969, the terrorists boarded before the flight took off when the cabin was open and had firearms. Placing locks on the cabin doors could not have helped on 8969 so there was no pressure to do so after it's resolution.

It seems to me to be completely in line with the actions of the current congress: Waste time & be counter productive.

If they press charges I see a major suit being filed against the casino & the DA for exactly these reasons.
