  1. Re:Tor plus some similar tech. on Coming Soon, Web Ads Tailored To Your Zip+4 · · Score: 1

    I don't think tor will help you much.

    The packets have to pass through the ISP routers on the way to anywhere.
    They will modify the header of all requests, even those through tor.

    Maybe an updated tor node could strip that header info out, but that would depend on at least one tor node in your chain having the right update.

  2. Re:UI Lag on Firefox 3.6.4 Released With Out-of-Process Plugins · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I have never had problems with firefox having a ton of tabs open.

    I regularly have 15+ tabs, sometimes 50 or 60. The only time I have any issues is if I turn off no script and get some flash or javascript running to slow things down.

  3. Re:cults? on China Restricts Minors From Using Virtual Currency · · Score: 1

    There is a difference between the theoretical economic system and the cabal of sycophants demanding absolute authority and unquestioning belief, reinforced by indoctrination from birth and violence in the face of confrontation. I'm not saying that capitalism doesn't itself have such a cabal (it does, but it doesn't wield quite the same degree of absolute power and authority as the CCCP), just that you are not really discussing the same thing as the grandparent.

    The problem with AOL giving away puppies and icecream is that they don't make very good coasters.

  8. Re:OK, so when can we buy one? on New Air Conditioner Process Cuts Energy Use 50-90% · · Score: 1

    Wrong. Having high natural humidity will make it less efficient when outside air mixes with recirculating air, but it will still work because the system removes humidity from the air unlike traditional evaporation coolers.

  9. Re:Battery research on Carbon Nanotube Batteries Pack More Punch · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yes, there are. High end golf clubs, tennis rackets and bicycles are starting to use carbon fiber enhanced with nano-tubes. It isn't 100%, but it is lighter and stronger than more traditional carbon fiber.

  10. Re:Know when on Employee Monitoring · · Score: 1

    Not at every job.

    My current employer would strongly frown on such things.

    But for my previous employer. It was occasionally a job requirement to review or monitor the video streams we were serving. Some of those streams were of an adult nature.

    You must be young. They have done that (or at least very similar) before.

    You might be surprised that this kind of thing is at least theoretically possible. What you need is some kind of video to text translation proxy.

    Most of the time this takes the form of taking the project and handing it to someone else.

    I am currently working on a project that was FUBAR from a major defense contractor, not its in the hands of a smaller defense contractor and we are fixing it.

  20. Re:Duke Nukem on SeaMicro Unveils 512 Atom-Based Server · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    No. Only Windows Server DataCenter editions support this number of CPU's.. they don't include DirectX in DataCenter edition. In fact, only "signed hardware" will install. So getting you fancy video card, or Soundblaster 64 to work on it would be impossible.

    I am pretty sure that that is only true if you are limiting yourself to Microsoft operating systems. There are plenty of linux BSD and unix OS's that can handle huge numbers of processors.

  21. Re:What's the "bang for the buck"? on SeaMicro Unveils 512 Atom-Based Server · · Score: 4, Informative

    The FLOPS are not all that important for this device. It isn't designed to crunch big numbers. It is designed as a web|web application server with the goal of serving far more connections per watt than a traditional server.

    Been There. Done That. You are right.

    It is not time to ask for a raise and a title. It is time to find someone else to work for. Go ahead and ask for the title without the raise, so that you can put it on your resume.

    Buy and hold is much less of a gamble if you are basing your decision on historic dividends instead of changes in the value of the stock to produce the return on your investment.

  24. Re:As they should be. on Pentagon Seeking Out Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange · · Score: 1

    The problem is that when that process is used to hide crimes and events that have little to do with security and everything to do with preventing the embarrassment of the government, then the process has failed. And in the grand American tradition, it takes a hero to stand up for the principals of this nation over its laws. Today we would be a far worse nation without individuals standing against the tyranny of the establishment. Are we better off because people like Bob Woodward, Rosa Parks, Abraham Lincoln and Paul Revere decided that the laws of their time did not reflect the spirit of this great nation? I think so.
