I mean, with firewalls a lot of Windows exploits would be no more and then why would we need Linux et al?
Ok, </sarcasm> and all that, but seriously, recent Windows flaws must have been advantageous to the alternative OS:es. If Windows was both user friendly and secure, why would Joe Sixpack ever change OS?
Yes. There are some theories that there would be an island of stability around element 120+. Scientists are working to create a stable trans-uranic element, and I for one welcome our trans-uranic overlords and would like to remind them that being primarily made of stable isotopes I can be useful in rounding up other carbon based elemental life forms to slave in their radioactive piles.
How is "stable" defined in this context? It's been a while but I seem to recall some numbers in the order of milliseconds.
I'm not totally convinced water cooling is less reliable. While I've never had a fan quit on me, several have needed replacing. And I'm pretty sure a failing fan is just as bad as a failing pump (except maybe that air cooling uses bigger heatsinks which would increase the lifetime for a couple of minutes).
If I understand correctly, the pumps used in watercooling are the same ones used in aquariums. So if anybody has any experience regarding reliability of these pumps, I'd be happy to hear about it.
And yes, I've been thinking about using water cooling. Not for overclocking, but for noise reduction.
I don't suppose this could be any more dangerous than, say, your standard canister of buthane driven aerosol deodorant. And I've never seen anybody getting particularly concerned about those.

Exactly
and as those applications use hardcoded ports... well, then the symptoms are the ports.

Um, you mods are on crack.
/dev/bong but it is in Windows Media Format or something and thus that clod is insensitive to burning.
I tried to pipe that stuff through
So, when are they going to patch the platypus? That thing's been since about launch.
God blessed lazy devs!
That's exactly why they hired english majors instead of sysadmins on that powerplant.
4. Measure the mark left in the bench by the equipment. Bigger mark = better equipment.
Given the amout of heat modern chips generate and the size of the heatsinks needed to dissipate the heat, this is not far from the truth.
As agent Smith put it: "as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our civilization"

I think the actual infection would be your smallest problem when swimming in 120 degrees water at several hundred atm pressure.
Yeah, next they'll probably expect to just turn a knob, press a button and have the microwave make popcorn for them.
Don't get me wrong, I like Linux based OSes. It's just that I also happen to disagree with this "easy == bad" attitude that some people seem to have.
Apparently, he's the 11:d kind.
Maybe the source code for the copy protection isn't open.

So it's your fault we don't have warp drive yet? You bastard!
