More memory requires more power. If you disagree with that then you don't know enough to be having this conversation. Or did you think those bits in memory moved themselves around?
Because they're dumbing everything down so that they can use the same icons on a supercomputer as on the least powerful phone or dishwasher available. The pretty icons take more memory and more graphics power, something that wasn't necessarily an issue until they started planning on putting them on appliances, and possibly shoes or yard tools. "One windows everywhere", remember that? Same thing gates is doing with schools, by the way.
I don't know. And I don't KNOW anything about the bacterial process either. But I would worry about unexpected activation in either product. If I was still in the industry I would care, but at the moment I don't. (although I assume that a LOT of people DO care very much.)
In a previous life I worked designing concrete mixes for a decade or so. I see problems when the bacteria start producing lime unexpectedly. Cracks? We got 'em.
My reply in the other thread was more detailed, nuanced, explicit, and reasoned. I just couldn't do that twice in one day, it's exhausting. (I did say "lists" in my response.)
When I googled "diceware", and read what was on their site, I didn't really see any mention of the extra lengths you would have to go to to make the method actually secure. It's not a bad idea, it just has some caveats.
Unless the diceware lists are not known to the attackers, how is this any better than any collection of 6 bit numbers? And if you're counting on the attackers not knowing about this method, you've degenerated into security by obscurity. What am I missing? And why did some wanker delete essentially this same response from another thread?
So I lose but also had the opportunity to collect +11 mod points. I'm not sure how that affects my karma, but since I've had excellent karma since before most of you started shaving your pubes and hanging around bus station toilets, I'm pretty sure I'm gold.
No, no coincidence. This has happened to me multiple time, though not with godaddy because I've never been tempted to use them. It's such a simple, obvious bit of asshattery that many registrars do this, although (excuse my lack of definitive information) I don't believe they actually register the domain name, there is some additional asshattery that allows them to tie the name up for a short period without actually having to pay money for it... which means that after a few days (???) it will become available again. Of course, everything I just said could be wrong.
Everybody who modded me down into oblivion every time I said that there would never be a HL3, please kill yourself now. Oh, and THERE WILL NEVER BE A HL3.
Yes. Also wins the prize for the worst tacked-on story-arc container. I like Bradbury's work, in general, but he's as asshole and this book was some hack's lame attempt at making a shitty movie.
Yeah, I'm talking about HL2DM, which I've been playing for the better part of a decade, during half of which I ran my own servers using my own maps and mods. So I'm pretty familiar with the situation, which at the moment is sad and getting sadder. I'd love HL3, DM or not, it's just not going to happen.

Is "when you do an action, ask yourself if it's something that you'll want to be remembered for" considered an action? ERROR: STACK OVERFLOW

How big is that in terms that we can all relate to, say, football fields?
Maybe the truth is that the NSA (etc) is looking for psychopaths to recruit.
Thus begins the gray dust that begets gray goo. Etc, etc, and so on and so on.
Who could possibly believe that this won't end badly?
"Yes" to all your questions, because computers are MAGIC, omnipotent, and have the contents of all of the text messages you sent to your drug dealer.
We get it. You're a shill for the aircraft industry. We hear you, and understand what you're selling, but are not buying. Thank you, now shut up.
Asshole. That's a national security secret.
What makes you think they're not already using it?
Oh come on now. It won't be any worse than being struck by a small car at terminal velocity.

Scientology will not serve you well here.
Thank you. :-)

but I don't think so
namecheap.
Not affiliated, blah blah blah and so on and so on.

I'm not sure that "plastic" means what you think it means.
Yes. Also wins the prize for the worst tacked-on story-arc container. I like Bradbury's work, in general, but he's as asshole and this book was some hack's lame attempt at making a shitty movie.
I think it was a lame "30 YO virgin" reference.
Guffaw.
If by "corruption" you mean "anything tagged as interesting by those who wish to keep an eye on what you're doing".
