no shit, monkeyboy. the paper on windows activation explains very clearly you have to change three things to flag it. Congrats on your new hard drive, now get some RAM, a faster processor and a new sound card. WHOOPS, you're over the limit. A Microsoft representative will be with you as soon as possible, please hold!
The fuel additive is a bunch of hooey. Show me a fuel additive that would prevent the fire and explosion, but will still fire in an engine, and not a pop sci article, something from an engineering journal.
netbeui gets a bad rap because it's fucking useless 99% of the time. in this day and age, very few people have a use for an unrouteable protocol, even if they do save a few bytes on every packet.
There's nothing wrong with the description of the article here, and as far as "nifty" goes, you're offtopic here. That was in a thread posted by a different person in a different story on a different day.
Besides, one of the few things we can do at this point is try to learn from what happened, and try to make the best of a horrible situation. I don't know if the use of LIDAR to monitor the stability of rescue sites is new or not, but for the layperson such as myself it's a fascinating application of technology being used to help keep the rescue workers safe.
One thing you're going to have to realize is that there are going to be a ton of new technical information that will come from this. There will be studies on ways to prevent fuel from going everywhere (store it in ultra-strong bladder bags?) to building design to failure analysis to security analysis etc...
Science will do everything it can do to use this tragedy as a way to move forward and make life better and safer for all those of us who survived. At some point you'll have to accept that sometimes good things are the result of evil.
Dude, Capsela rocked the body that rocks the party! I'd build cars that turned into boats and shit. I loved that thing. The only thing I hated was that there was no way to make two motors run at the same exact speed. Well that and the fact that when I was a kid rechargeable battery technology sucked ass.
dont ya tell me what youre putting in my lunch box dont tell me what your

cuz the seed we sew aint good enough the earth we plow it aint good enough
the food we grow well its never been up to scratch,
the geezer with the beard and all the angels made a few mistakes I dont
know why we dont need him anymore if geneticly modify

Why is it that even the dumbest farmer knows that having all your fields grow the same exact plant is a bad idea, but most corporations don't see why having everybody use the exact same software is a bad idea?
What they did was not sophisticated, nor did it require great intelligence. It's no great secret that steel loses its strength if you heat it above 1100F for half an hour or so. It's also no great secret that once you get initial failure, you'll get pancaking for the same reasons that you can stand on a beer can, but you can't jump on a beer can.
It takes about 30 seconds of research to realize that jet fuel burns at 1800-2000F, and that the Boeing 767-200 caries 16000 gallons of it.
These people were not intelligent or sophisticated. They were merely madmen, who figured out that if you get on a big plane that's fully loaded with fuel, as it would be to fly cross-country, and you fly it into a building, shit happens.
Don't glorify the skills of these cowards, especially when any high school senior could tell you that this will succeed.
@home kicks some ass for me. I regularly get 100K+ transfers, even during busy times. The installation went smoothly, and it only took about 5 minutes on freebsddiary.org to find an article detailing how to setup my freebsd firewall to use the connection after the tech left.
so far no problems with the connection whatsoever. no outages, no unacceptable slowdowns, nothing.
I would block any gif that's 1x1 and not scaled in the HTML
That's still a broken concept. If browsers start blocking unscaled 1x1 images, they'll scale their 1x1 image to be 1x2, and then what? Block all 1x2 images as well? It's a slippery slope.
These are the dangerous ones, and your example does not fall into this category.
The fact that they're small does not make them "dangerous". Any image, whatsoever, can be used as a bug. You could use my example of a large horizontal bar as a bug, or the title graphic of the page, or the image used on the search graphic.
Every single image on a page can be a "bug". Additionally, every link can contain trackable identifiers if the website designer so wishes.
No, because single pixel gifs have legitimate purposes too. Not to mention the fact that any image can be a "tracking" image.
Example: Let's say you want to draw a horizontal bar with a rounded edge, ala slashdot. You can make an image that has the rounded edge, then a seperate image that's simply a one pixel gif of the same color, that you then stretch by using height and width attributes on the img tag.
This will prevent the color differences between the two images, as they'll both be using the same graphics library to display. This however also minimizes download time, because all you really need to make a colored bar is one pixel of the exact color you want.
And he should also check out Robot Exclusion Standard Rivisited, where it specifies META tags you can put in a page to prevent indexing a certain page, or following links from it.
And he should also look at the trivial ways of setting up his webserver to prevent serving an image, if the referer isn't from his local site.
This is a textbook example of an overcaffeinated ignoramous. God bless america, land of the dumb.
Because we want to contribute to the advancement of science. Imagine a world where you need to license Calculus 8.0, and no explanations are given on how any of the math works, you're merely given magical answers to your queries. It would make it nearly impossible for mathematics to advance in the ways it has.
Because we're lazy. Nobody likes when a product that had released internally has a bug in it six months after release, when they've long ago forgotten the internals. By distributing interal use tools as open source, where appropriate, you get a larger base of users and the bugs are found and fixed faster. Additionally you get the benefit that occasionally other users will actually fix the bugs for you.
Because we want recognition What better way to show the world that you're a really great coder than to show the world your code. You can show potential clients or employers examples of your work to entice them to hire you.
Because it feels good It feels good to know that for once your work has done more than just make your company money, you've made other people's lives a little bit easier.
There's a business case for it too, there's a reason IBM has suddenly become all about Linux, and it's not because IBM is stupid. It's because they know how to make money off of it.
First of all, uou don't call 50 people to setup a conference call. Every person involved calls a number, and enters a code identifying which conference call they want to join.
Secondly, with 5-10 people on the same line, it tends to be extremely easy to carry on the conversation, because everybody involved realizes that they should make sure anything they say is worth saying. It has a much better S/N ratio than a 10-way e-mail where everybody feels that they can say anything, because the transaction cost is thought to be low.
What is the first thing that comes to mind if you receive a phone call at 2 AM?
Somebody is probably drunk, and wanting to know if I want to go to a diner with them.
That is the difference
No, the difference is that one is immediate, and lends itself to intricate communication, with instant feedback, and the ability to use tone of voice. Additionally with the telephone you can immediately get feedback on additional questions which may arise from the answers to your original e-mail. Also, the latency is downright negligible, whereas with e-mail communications there's a very substantial and fairly unpredictable latency involved.

Yeah, there are tons of users who setup networks in their house, but don't bother with an internet connection. Right.

Just a note: $50k/year is cheap. very very very cheap.
They really started letting in the riff-raff after the first 203 users....

Haven't you ever heard of a conference call?
