I don't think this is that strange: after all, that 10,000 machines figure is several years old. It's only logical that Google has expanded their facilities since then.
Winstein's exaggerating a little, though: I certainly would find it un-fucking-believable if someone developed six lines of Perl that perform all the work involved in decrypting the DVD, decompressing the MPEG, and displaying the movie onscreen (with audio).
All qrpff does is remove the (relatively simple) CSS encryption. Saying "this'll let you watch movies" was a little disingenuous of Winstein.
Right now, the team has only built a tabletop model.
I've invented a device that will convert ordinary cat dander into light sweet crude. No, I haven't actually tried to run it yet, but I do have this cool tabletop model.
Port mapping doesn't need a static IP address. Just look around in the configuration screens / CLI, you'll find the option. It might be called port forwarding instead.
Sorry I can't give any more details, but I don't have much Cisco experience. It's a top-level menu on my Siemens.
OS X has all the power of Linux coupled with a better UI and greater availability of commercial applications.
I know lots of people (including myself) who are looking to replace their aging PC systems with Apples. Since we'd be buying completely new hardware anyway, the platform difference isn't a good reason not to buy a Mac.
While I can't speak for anyone else, this certainly makes sense to me.
I've been a Windows user / Linux tinkerer ever since I first started using computers, but when I go to college (MIT!) this fall it'll be with a new Powerbook. Aside from the great hardware design, OS X is the perfect blend of usability and power for my purposes.
And it's YOU, the customer, who gets to decide which bank you trust with your money.
The government is not your mommy. Its job shouldn't be preventing you from making stupid, ill-advised, illogical, or dangerous decisions. If you think your bank has lax security policies, and are worried about how safe your money is with them, transfer it out. And when you do, tell them why you're doing it.
Why wouldn't it be legal? The only entity that could possibly be hurt by an insecure ATM is the bank that owns it.
If Citibank wants to run Windows XP on a machine with access to a few grand in cash, let them do it. There's no reason for the government to get involved.
Who says it has to change? People know that the floppy disk on an icon means it has something to with saving: why waste the effort changing it, and dealing with the confusion that would inevitably result?
Names and icons don't have to be literal to have meaning: floppy disks aren't really floppy anymore, are they?
My laptop has an LCD screen, but I don't get confused when I go into Windows display properties and see an icon for a CRT.
Just write a lot more, and write stuff where you can pay more attention to the form of your letters than actual content. Don't mess around with cursive, just print and blend your letters as appropriate.
Spend half an hour a day (before you go to bed is good - it'll help you fall asleep, if you have trouble with that) transcribing the dictionary or something. I noticed an improvement in my writing after about two weeks.
1 dB of gain is equal to a million dollars of annual revenue for a wireless provider
So, turbo codes have brought the gain differential (sorry, don't know the proper term) to.5 dB. The.5 dB that's left would bring in only $500,000 of revenue?
That doesn't sound like terribly much, considering how much money those companies are pulling in already.

It certainly is, dude. Ignoring the problem doesn't make it go away.

Don't even ask about how happy my girlfriend is.
Don't worry, it never crossed my mind.

"Despite assertions made by Toyota salesmen, a Lexus sedan is not a luxury car," said Bill Taylor, CEO of Mercedes-Benz.
Sorry, I didn't mean to brag, I'm just still excited that I'm actually going there. :)
I'm planning to bring my old Inspiron along with me, for exactly the reasons you described. I think I'll major in CS, but who knows...

Is there something wrong with .mbl? I don't see why we have to spell the whole thing out: the existing TLDs are all blissfully concise.
Long TLDS distract from the domain names themselves: which looks better, www.slashdot.org or www.slashdot.nonprofitorganization?

Opera 7.5 is the current beta release.
Also, the photo of Ellison is kind of comical. If you were to throw a black cape and a tall hat on him, he could be a circus magician.
A circus magician...with a net worth of about $15 billion.
Unless apple.com has been Slashdotted (which is doubtful), those links are completely useless.
But at least it seems they have a vague sort of 'respect' for the hacking/academic community...
I wouldn't go that far - the license is binary-only.
I can feel myself wasting money just reading that site.
I should step outside before I find my wallet.
