Let's face facts, the chances are good that some buffer underrun can bring a computer to its knees remotely, but what are the odds that it hasn't been fixed and patched sometime ago.
Fairly high. Imagine someone who knew about this SSL vuln 12 months ago - they could have made gajillions of dollars, if they exploited it just right.

I can attest that I and my friends were
completely smashed when the idea came to us that we should all throw our phones at the floor and see which one bounced higher
Is this an example of technology starting to resemble its owner?
IMO, most lawyers are just looking for an easy settlement anyways. Use a 'bot to dig the internet for 'infringements', send out 10K letters, get 5 settlements for 25K each?
It's ironic that you are describing spam-onomics, and the first ever spam was sent by a firm of lawyers.
"Landmine" is a bit of a misnomer - these devices were designed to be planted in the ground on the plains of Germany, and detonated by remote control if there ever came a time when the Sovs were in control of that area.
Currently, Israel deploys nuclear landmines and I'd guess they're not alone. Shrub's apparent penchant for tactical nukes would suggest that there's going to be more random nuclear weapons in the future too.
Personally, I want to see a nuclear Dambuster's bomb, in time for the next world stone skimming contest.
That is a truly depressing site for anyone who dreams of owning a fantastic car but can't afford it. The majority of those photos are blatantly the result of some fat sweaty rich guy who can barely drive stacking his car out of easy corners - Like knobby UK footballers who have egos bigger than their paychecks and laugh when they smash their F50s into lamp posts.
It's like giving a beowulf cluster in a tier 1 datacentre to a spammer.
I cry.
QV500.com is a nice site if you like seeing cars in their proper shape.
The same company (IdeaFlood) has on its press release page a release dated November last year in which they detail their claim to pop-ups spawned "onexit". The patent they refer to was issued 2002, and filed 1998, by some joker who then assigned it to these modern-day racketeers.
Am I the only person who was on the internet pre-1998? Every day I see a patent relating to things that were plaguing us in 1995, and a company that honestly believes they can claim "2% of... the $9.5bn income this method generates".
Just out of curiosity, how well would the rovers' "route picking" routines cope with this challenge?
I read that the operator says "go from here to here" and the onboard 'AI' chooses the best route in a 3d visualisation - is this software open-source, and could it be used in this challenge? I can't see any major differences, other than the relative lack of parked cars on Mars (2 pathfinders and a beagle, iirc)
Should DARPA have emailed NASA before starting this?;)
Also, did you notice at the bottom of the story the "white papers" claiming savings in running MS servers rather than Linux servers? These same "white papers" have been linked from other SCO stories on C|Net.
/. runs the MS adverts about Win2K3 having a lower TCO than Linux.
You said [paraphrasing] there's not really any way to detect life...
I said you were wrong, there is really a way to detect life. I agree with the rest of your statements. You were just wrong in a "Is there a way: Yes/No" kind of binary fashion.
Probably fake. The text is cyrillic but grammar is horrible.
It was written by Americans... The site it's on is very reliable, and I have no reason to believe it's anything other than a photomicrograph of a real digital VAX IC...
He did a special where he claims that all presidents past and present meet at Bohemiam Grove, worship an owl god, and sacrifice children
Apart from the children bit, he's not far wrong you know. There is an elite club up there where successful and powerful people do weird things involving an owl effigy. It's no more freaky than Freemasons, Skull and Bones or the Hamburglar Fan Club though.
As someone coming from behind the Iron Curtain, I can assure you that the -3/ is actually correct. The soviet engineers cloned processors down to the microscopic scale. There have even been clones of Intel processors with the (c) Intel part right on the silicon! You can bet that the pipeline system was cloned down to the single valve.
Digital even inscribed "VAX - when you care enough to steal the very best" into the silicon mask of one of the chips in Cyrillic. See here for a picture.
So? I didn't see anyone complaining when Star Wars 5 and 6 were filmed on the same cameras, using the same actors, and the same principles of cinematography as Ep4.
Keep 'em coming Rockstar. When developers radically alter a winning formula (as opposed to the subtle but excellent GTA3 > GTA:VC mods) it's never pretty.
As mentioned elsewhere, GTA4 can sit back and wait for the next gen of consoles quote happily.

I've often wondered just how fast their turn-around time was once you started using words like Great Satan, infidels, chemical, Bin LaCARRIER LOST

Follow the money - Brian Shuster is involved in IdeaFlood. Brian Shuster is a notorious pr0n webmaster, and the guy who patented pop-ups.

Puhh-lease.You could just stay at home and earn Indian wages

It's all just marketing crap.

Unfortunately you are 100% wrong.
They have cameras. Life can demonstrably be seen on cameras, if sufficiently large (and opaque).
Ergo, you are wrong. Sorry.
I'm not saying we'll see a picture of ALF, but it is a possibility, and it would be wrong to completely discard the concept.
