    Yea, but clouds? I know it not hot and gassy enough to have gas clouds. And if it had water clouds that would have made the news a long time ago.

    The guy sent mail to securityfocus telling them that there was a hole in windows, he did not spread any virus or use this code malisously. SecurityFocus then published this info, if anyone SecurityFocus is the most liable, though I don't believe either should be.

  4. Re:What about driving down a suburban street? on Still More on the DARPA Grand Challenge · · Score: 1

    Oh come off it man, its not hard to tell it these are the lanes you must stay in. Though I'd be willing to bet if autonomous vehicles become common the streets will probably be implanted with communicators that tell the cars what lanes go which ways and what the speed limit is, and other useful info.

  5. Re:Actually... on Still More on the DARPA Grand Challenge · · Score: 1

    Actually two autonomous cars would probably never crash into eachother as they can communicate with eachother and are very predicable to eachother. Now its definatly possible for one to crash into a much less predictible pedestrian or non autonomous car. At that point I would generally assume the fault would lie with what got crashed into, unless there was major fault in the programming. But I'm sure there will be insurancy policies to cover any fault of the vehicle which will be mandatory and expensive even if they autonomous cars prove to be 100% reliable.

    Actually that is not true, Mozilla incorperates the W3C standards, and it tried to also incorperate as many of the non-standards as it can. BUT, it will not incorperate any IE standards that breaks W3C or in some way is incompatible with rendering a standard website correctly.

    FireFox is Firebird, they changed the name because they promised FireBird DB that firebird would only be kept as a developement name and would temporary, well apparently FireFox is the final name.

    I have my sideview mirrors set this way, and a small motocycle can definatly fit it the blindspot. I learned this when I almost creamed a motocycle assuming I had no blind spot, so I now turn look and use the mirrors in the configuration you distribed.

    No abut the point is does tht 90% include songs that RIAA added themselves but are fake. That can jack up the percent.

    Ok, so instead of going through the proper channels you just suggest cheating. This has this exact same security risk as installing a hub but simply trying to go around the rules. And its not like you can really claim you didn't understand, if you can figure out how to get it to work, you obviously did understand. Good luck finding another job.

    I don't understand how is running a firewire line between two computers easier than running an RJ45 line? I'm guessing your RJ45 is already used up though receiving your internet connection? So get a simple hub. Case closed.

    He said specifically don't pay yourself, till you go off unemployment. Its not illigal to incorperate a buisness while on unemployment, and then every cent you get paid put in back in the corperation. DO NOT dip into this money for anything but buisness expenses. Grow the company while you are on unemployment till you think you can start paying yourself.
