No, you do not understand. That is where they found it. Its making kids fat. Thorium is an extreme poison, so all Chinese products must have it in them. We forgot and only were checking for lead (heavy in its own right).
No, unbibium is very much liked, desired, wanted, and sought-after. Every scientist on the planet goes almost orgasmic at the sight of it. This makes it the exact opposite of Cowboy Neal (especially where females are concerned). So Coboynealium has no chance as its name.
If there is a new-found security exploit in the wild, which requires an immediate patch, or you essentially die, you sure as sh*t better install that patch as fast as possible on a machine, and see that it does not hurt. No waiting for QA to sign off. I worked in one of the largest, and the QA process was very long, and we were regularly going down because of virus, etc. No email can kill a company, for example. If the company is doing 10 million a day business, totally on the internet, to have the internet go down is deadly. We had servers that had multiple processors, and you could shut down one proc and upgrade its OS, etc, while the whole system kept running. we paid a lot for that. This is gold. Ignore the bs put out by so-called know-it-alls, and decide if this fits your needs for yourself. Anytime you get an increase in the number of choices of how to do something, you are on the upside of life.

Actually, although it is a little hard to find, it has been a verb for almost 100 years.
And the useless - clueless connection was intended as well. I did not want you to limit the extent of American government hosing of the American people. Unless you wanted to. heh heh.

Actually, I have been running Spybot, Spywareblaster, Xonealarm, Adaware, and Panda for years, and thought I was clean as well. Then I got infested by the virusheat installed by a fake spyware cleaner. I fought that critter for two weeks before it appeared to be effectively dead, even though small signs of it still littered my system. Then I ran Stopzilla, Webroot Spysweeper, and Fprot and discovered my system was very infested. It took a week of cleaning and rebooting to get my system to report as clean. I suggest you try several reputable anti-spyware programs and antivirus programs before you say to anyone that you do not have any crud on your system. I have been very careful for years, and am a computer expert (wizard level, I design computers for a living), and still got screwed repeatedly while not even being aware of it. The spyware writers are staying way ahead of the game, and the anti-spyware / anti-virus companies are playing catchup after each new exploit is found. The good guys are in last place and losing ground fast. The feds should be funding anti-slime research and using internal code gods (NSA, etc) to help in the fight. The Russian gov is effectively financing the bad guys, several other east block govs do the same, China has whole gov divisions working on this stuff, many govs are in the economic / network warfare business, and we got zip going for us. The Mafia, Russian mafia, and other big crime syndicatess fund the bad guys big time. Good guys do finish last. The only way you will get the (currently Bush) US gov to help is if you can prove to them that oil is threatened.
By the way, this opens up the door to the next development contract award for the 2012 handheld. So every few years they get to pat another favorite contractor on the but
I'm sure someone will find out that Starbucks funded the study, and only Starbucks is beneficial. So the cup size is the most expensive cup available at Starbucks.
"Molecules do, however, have kinetic energy which they tend to partially transfer to other molecules with less kinetic energy when they randomly collide" The other molecules do not have to have less Kinetic energy. It depends on how they hit. A glancing hit to the behind of a passing fast molecule could add energy to the passing fast molecule, while deflecting its path.
Hey - Our elections were stolen the old-fashioned way, too. Bought, scammed, lied, fake voters, dead voters, every way imaginable. And the electoral college straightened it out. Yeh, right. If our elections were fair, why is it we can only vote for rich people?
A serious percentage of these people are not currently following the current code of conduct, so why would they follow a new one. The current code of conduct is the Golden Rule, the social contract, etc. These airport screeners are already on the other side of those rules, as are the police, the military, the politicians, lawyers, etc. Many of them violate social contracts, and the law, as well as rules and codes of conduct, as often as they feel they can get away with it. Just look at the videos of cops beating people, shooting in the back, and even dumping a quadriplegics out of his wheelchair onto the floor. And you suggest that a code of conduct would have any effect on these characters? Man, you live in a dream world, can we come to stay?
Wasn't Cuba one of the only countries to try to host nuclear missiles right by us for Russia? I am sure that that gave them a bad smell. But actually, Bush and co. love to have enemies to point at. The other countries mentioned do have vast resources of oil, etc, and we have lots of Mexican citizen American voters. Cuba has sugar. I am pretty sure we can / do get that elsewhere. They have refugees and criminals, but we get those elsewhere as well. They have drug connections... I could go on forever. In summary, the Big money / Big government of the USA sees no gains from easing up on Cuba, although maximum openness is the best way to bring our ways to them. Wait a minute, they are not polluted by our ways!? huh I would rather we opened up to Cuba. That is the right thing to do.
Actually, I have tried to run off a couple of the latest Ubuntu cds, and it has not worked at all. It probably is because I am runnung on a standard Intel 845GBV motherboard, manufactured in high volume, with an old ATI 8500DV all-in-wonder video card. I am more than a little disappointed that ubuntu fails to run. I have never had that problem with windows. Just to make sure you understand my level of expertise, I am the electronic hardware engineer who designed the 845GBV motherboard (over a million shipped), as well as many other motherboards while at Intel. No, I am not an Intel fanatic (they laid me off with 3,000 other Americans one day in fall of 2002). Nor am I a Windows fanatic. I am always thankful when the latest windows annoyances book comes out. I think we need a linux annoyances book. My level of familiarity with linux? I have been running and supporting a majority of the unix and linux operating systems for over 15 years. Yes, I could have gotten it to work. I just do not have that much time to devote to fussing with it right now, and no compelling reason to do so. Give me a reason to waste my time on it.
Right off I figured this column would be about $500 hammers and $2500 toilet seats the US military buys What gives? The stuff wired writes up didn't scam Americans for a trillion dollars, so it doesn't even make the top 1,000,000 list

If you want to make users read the documentation, make reading and passing a test part of the install process. They read a part, and then answer a question. Repeat until they have read and learned all the warnings. then install. The install can then scan for common security issues, like java, scripts enabled, etc, and a lack of encryption software, etc, and in some cases, make people select what particular security packages they have installed from a list. check for fire-walls, virus-scanners, etc. Of course, if such packages had a standard way of reporting the last date they checked for updates, that would make checking that they were up-to-date easier. heh, like anyone would use a package like this one.
Or, more accurately, science is our "current closest approximation" to those parts of reality that we think we have an interpretation of. There are observed phenomenoa which we do not have any explanation of (quasars, for example), phenomena which we know we only have parts of the explanation for (evloution of stars has a stage where the surrounding formation cloud is blown away, for which there is no accepted explanation, but I have one, so star evolution is incompletely understood), areas we have currently no way of observing, much less measuring (like the number of dimensions our space is made up of, or their structure) (or like most "metaphysical" phenomena, GOD, etc)
Actually, Aluminum does not have a very good predictive failure rate. It just snaps relatively unpredictably. And it is almost impossible for the experienced engineer to look at an aluminum part and say whether it is approaching failure because of a defect or stress / strain issue. They can see when it has actually begun to fail, but that is too late for an aircraft in flight. It takes special scanners (xray, etc) to give early warning of approaching failure. Steel and titanium are very predictable and you can easily design them to resist and withstand the expected stresses without failure. I have personal experience of this. Hang gliders are built either with aluminum (big mistake) or titanium (more costly, no mistake), or composite (I do not know.) When I signed up for hang glider lessons many years ago, I never got to take them, because my instructor's hang glider folded up in midair at an air show, and he did a rather messy last time landing in front of the audience on the runway. Oops. So saying leave the designing to the experts is not necessarily the best move. Look at airplanes, they are made of aluminum, and filled with flamable seats, etc in the cabin space. Not a really safe design, just able to do the job cheaply, but somewhat dangerously.
Actually,/dev/random is not the best report. The best report is the productive time lost due to studying how to report productivity, generate productivity reports, report productivity, and fix issues caused by an ignorant manager / PhD bean counter. Copy his bos and bosses boss. any other report could include patches applied, systems created, systems updated, systems repaired, etc. But for now, I highly recommend a close reading of BOFH in www.theregister.co.uk.
yo are thinking of a nuclear explosion, and no, that would not occur. However, the fuel cold have a chain reaction, and get very hot and messy. radioactives polution would be the result. good stuff - almost as good as breathing that stuff GW Bush puts out every day in DC.
