Well, for fucks sake, go and write and article about it to wikipedia, because there was no information about this fucking four fucking factor fucking test for fucks sake. And stop being such a fucking pussy with your insults, for fucks sake.
Just got reminded of something. Couple of years back I was looking for an acoustic coupler to toy with. The normal PC stores wouldn't even know what it is, even after I explained the purpose and how it looks like. Then I remember a store in Vaasa, who has a huge cache of old crap in his store. I drove 200km to there, and here's how the dialogue unfurled.
Me: Hi, do you have any old acoustic couplers back there? Him: Sure do! *goes off to do some scourcign in the backroom* Him: Here you go! That would be 30 euros. Me: Are you fucking bat shit crazy?! Why is it 30 euros?! It's not worth anything to anyone! Him: It seems it might be worth something to you. *dangling the thing*. Want it or not? Me: Damnit, you old mean spirited tradesman! *shells out 30 euros*
Who resells computers anyway? I have like of box full of shit from last two decades in my attic. My upgrade cycle used to go like: 1. Upgrade PC 2. Demote old parts to the bedroom PC 3. Demote old parts to the file server 4. Demote old parts to that box in the attic
When you get to the step 4, the parts are of no worth to anyone. And for some reason I cannot get myself to just trash them:)
Nowadays I only buy laptops thou. The last one I sold, because it took so long in Acer warranty service that I had to buy a new one while waiting, and I don't need two.
I wonder what kind of task awaits my current laptop when I will upgrade...
I have cleaned my yard mostly of trees but I left couple of sturdy birches on both corners of my house which face the road next to me. I have never had anyone crash onto my property, but I like the insurance anyway.
Well, uh, actually. Once someone didn't see an oncoming train in very nearby unattended crossing and the car, or parts of it, ended up on my law. Nothing would have helped at that point thou. The car could have come crashing down through the roof, to the bedroom.
Wow, at least you are going get a lot of replies...
Finland/Norway/Sweden: All these 3 have totally different but radically same policy: As long as its made in EU they support it. If not in EU, they have a NIH syndrome.
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Oh wait... I was going to reply to this how much American products we actually have around, but I ended up deriding the said products in every sentence. Then I started thinking about cell phones and how much the Japanese Nokia knock offs suck;) Damn. Point taken.
Partial credit. The cells themselves have no safety features. The "batteries" do. A cell is one chemical pair which may be combined in series and/or parallel to get deired voltage and capacity.' The cells themselves are covered with very thin layer of some sort of plastic and there are very thin leads to connect to the pair. Actually, does anyone know what the material is? It looks like tinfoil but feels like plastic.
I have taken apart some Nokia batteries. There's one integrated very small circuit which acts as a killer if some current is reached. No idea what exactly it does. It's like 3mm in diameter and under 1mm in height. Most of it seems to be just lacquer to cover the circuit itself. Anyway, it works: You can't short a Nokia battery. Oh yeah, just a side note. All Nokia batteries I have gutted, contained cell(s) manufactured by Samsung.
...Aaaaand the cells are not usually packed in container suitable for compressing combustion into actual explosion. What you get is a nasty chemical fire which is virtually inextinguishtable in the time it releases its energy.
There's no way a LiPo cell in plastic packaging could explode with considerable force.
I build my own RC airplane batteries. I have right now 50 x 2400mAh cells at home. I have experimented shorting fast discharging cells. I have tried puncturing them. I have tried over charging them. I have tried deforming them. Yes, you get spectacular fireworks, but no explosions in conventional containers.
If I _wanted_ to explode one, I probably could. But I would seal the cell in sharpnel grenade style iron shell or something...
PS. Discard your Li* battery if it ever puffs even slightly or gets a visible deformation from a shock. Damaged Li*'s are unstable.
And how does security jocks have any kind of right to do an arrest? In case of civilian arrest, how do they have right to enforce and arrest with potentially lethal force? They dont. Security guards should, and cannot do shit. These ass clowns should be fired. Leave the law enforcement to proper officials.
Wait, what? You actually need a license to use your judiciary system? That sounds fucked up. How on earth can someone get justice who cannot afford _any_ kind of lawyer?
Platform is there, but applications are not. I have develop some stuff for Java ME just to get familiar with it. I don't own the latest and greatest phones, so trying to use graphics for even UI was a show stopper. I have also coded module tests for the standard libraries and JSR's for one manuacturer. I tried running them on different manufacturers platforms just for fun, and found out that the API is not reliable accross platforms, which means that you have to develop towards the lowest common denominator. (sp?) It's handy if you just want to make some simple forms and display simple data, but for real application development I find it insufficient.
I was visiting a friend in Netherlands and commented on the language: "Heh, written Dutch spoken in Finnish sounds like a Yank speaking in faux German accent." He was silent for a moment, looked around varily and said: "Never, ever, tell that to any native Dutch. They are quite proud of their language."
Luckily my friend is from Russia originally and later we could have a laugh.
PS. I have now relocated into my secret bunker untill dust settles and I have confirmation that dutch nationalist extermists have ceased buzzing my residence.
Interesting. Just last weekend, I went to our band premises and the guys were laying on couches and apathetically watching some music videos in hangover. I wanted to see some show and commented "Geeez! You'r watching music videos from the TV?! Gimme the remote!"

I've heard about fish'n'chips, but this is something completely different!

Oh don't be so shocked.
Surely everyone knows God created women for our (men) entertainment, pleasure and labor.

Sorry about that. I spend too much time with my 2 y/o kid
I guess its time to disassemble yet another cell. To this day, I haven't found any kind of obvious security features within.

Could you elaborate? I'm not too familiar with 18th century weavers.

So? He didn't claim he was here to make one precise point.
Get off the internet straw man man.
I bet I could club someone over the head with a hammer!
Yeah, the article is stupid. It's not like these "nations" invented how to wage war.
And why would you need to do that in a "secure way"? Public keys are.... public! For christs sake..

Surely you jest? It's just a lame version of Prodigy's song. Not that I'm into the original version all that much either.
Yay, do I have my very own virtual stalker or are you randomly being an ass and posting peoples email addresses for the harvesting bots?
KISS was never really about music. It was a huge franchise to capitalize on. Gene Simmons is not a musician. He is a businessman.

I just realized the implications.
And what the hell is AMT?
