    You're leaving out a critical detail.

    Clever users will detach it, I assume.

    The whooshing should keep the air fresh enough for you.

    So we can all assume that you're what, all of 14 (or younger)? Because you've obviously never been 15 before.

    This also stops you using Wireshark for seeing what data is actually being transmitted.

    Is that not the point of HTTPS?

    The spelling of that chemical alone will prevent its success.

    Hey everybody! The maps troll forgot to check "post anonymously"!

    Right. The desktop will die, probably in the year of the Linux Desktop. I've been hearing this for 10 years or more. Desktops aren't going anywhere soon. The market will evolve, but it isn't going to die.

  11. Re:Progressive Fix 101 on Cheap Gas Fuels Switch From Electric Cars To SUVs · · Score: 2

    Car-based SUVs, maybe. GP noted such.

  12. Re:A short, speculative cautionary tale... on Using Adderall In the Office To Get Ahead · · Score: 2

    That's a terrifying scenario. I have no idea who I'd feel...

  13. Re:Better question than "what's next" on TrueCrypt Alternatives Step Up Post-Cryptanalysis · · Score: 2

    That dead horse has had about enough, that's why. Try googling it, as there's plenty of speculation out there. But in light of the fact that the TC devs have been silent, speculation is all you're going to get.

    The advertisement flyer is not a source, and due to its very nature neither is Wikipedia.

  17. Re:No such thing on Feds Attempt To Censor Parts of a New Book About the Hydrogen Bomb · · Score: 1

    There may have been a gulf between their knowledge prior to the discovery of fission and modern understanding, but almost immediately following that discovery we had working reactors and functional weapons. Certainly fusion devices were and are a different beast, but it comes down to less about any "secrets" and much more about money. The physics is the "easy" part, but even Oppenheimer and Teller wouldn't have been able to engage in much more than esoteric navel gazing if it weren't for a LOT of money.

  18. Re:Erh... what would it accomplish? on Feds Attempt To Censor Parts of a New Book About the Hydrogen Bomb · · Score: 1

    This is about thermonuclear weapons, not fission ones.

    Have you ever read a single thing about World War II? Seen a History Channel show about it? Anything? I'd recommend it. It's fascinating, and you are in serious need of the education.

    Hence the quotes. I'm not going to jump into a semantic debate, however. Most folks here seem to have gotten the gist.

    The lie is impressively effective, but it's still a lie. This has less to do with the "lie" told to subject by the researchers, and much more to do with the "lie" the subject tells himself.
    It's still just sugar.
