Putting your swapfile on this doesn't make much sense. You'd be buying memory, putting it in a special card that makes the memory act like a hard drive, then making that hard drive act like memory. It would be cheaper to just buy more regular memory.

Someone did recently, I believe. They knocked out all but three or four. No one noticed until they read it on slashdot.
I remember when my ISPs DNS server would go down a lot, I ended up putting in one of the root servers for the tertiary alternative DNS or something like that...
What we really need to do is convince some multi-billionare (like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, or one of those Middle East Oil Sheiks) to jumpstart humanity's expansion into space out of their own pockets.
Start with a space elevator, price tag 10 - 40 Billion dollars. Then maybe build a *NICE* space station on top of it, which should cost much less. Use the space station to build a spaceship for the purpose of bringing an insanely mineral rich asteroid back to Earth orbit. Establish a mining base on the asteroid.
Everyone reading the parent should note that it's still not an entirely good idea to stand in front of an open microwave. It can heat you just like it heats food.
As a friend of mine once said, "When they outlawed alcohol, all the rowdy drunks went to Washington and fucked shit up till it was legal. When they outlawed pot, all the stoners were too laid-back to care."
Artillery shells are ballistic objects, travelling mostly in a parabolic curve. Get a little bit of that curve and the speed of the shell with radar, and it's just a math problem to find the entire flightpath. The problem is doing the math quick enough that the shell hasn't hit you, and making a laser responsive enough to be in the right place at the right time.
There's a reason our enemies have to resort to hijacking planes and loading little boats with explosives, and that reason is that we have stuff like this laser - technological superiority in conventional war.
Ah, you mean all those places which were or are ruled by Communists. I would place a guess that most of use who are saying "screw the hippies" are rather against Communism. You lose.
You have entirely too much respect for the law. Saying "It's illegal" with no justification for the existence of that law is basically "Why?" "BECAUSE I SAID SO!" which is what parents use to justify the existence of rules to three year old children who are incapable of understanding the reasons for rules.
You are the only one who seems to have a valid point so far. Do you have any legal reference for the land submerged at high tide belonging to the people? I'd be interested in reading about this. Would they be out of trouble if they removed all the rocks that were not submerged at high tide?
As for having a problem with dumping the rocks on what is considered public land and denying public usage, I would bet that, practically, no one in the public even wants to use that beach. They may not even be able to get to it without swimming in from a ship or trespassing on private land. So morally I still see little problem with dumping rocks on the beach, but you do seem to have a legal argument that is sensible.
Whether or not it was smart to build a course there seems irrelevant.
Seems to me they wanted to put some boulders there to keep their golf course from washing away into the sea, maybe. But it doesn't look nice, so let's get all liberal and tell them they can't keep their golf course above water.

I thought when I turned off ANIME I wouldn't have to see any stories about stupid Japanese pop culture. Fuck me.

This is the best post I have read in a long long time.

Your definition of "universe" is probably faulty, or at least different from the one that these physicists are using.

But this majority also won't go into the advanced options of their Linksys to turn on Remote Management and make it vulnerable to this attack.

That's why you have to be CAREFUL.

That's the way I always did it when I was a kid.

OF COURSE THEY KNEW THE FLIGHTPATH, DUMBASS.

Good luck getting their half-billion man army across the Pacific, though.

ECS has so far proven to be quite good. I've had their k7s5a for quite a while and it works excellently.

I remember playing Escape Velocity waaaay back in the day. Great game, man.
Glad to see you are porting the newest one over to Windows, I haven't had a Mac in years and years....

Meh.
Even my friends who live in Jersey make fun of Jersey.
Do you even know how to pump your own gas?

Give me a good reason. Tell me why this golf course mentioned in the article shouldn't be able to dump a big fugly pile of boulders on their beach.

Here's a better picture, and if you click on it you will get this HUGE picture that I won't link to directly for fear of slashdotting.

If my neighbor wants to keep sewer waste in his backyard, fine with me.
But if the runoff gets into my basement, he's putting sewer waste in my backyard, which I would have a problem with.
