It's possible to contain the toxic emissions form coal plants. The whole 'coal power has killed more than nuclear power' is bullshit. If the plant operators installed the proper scrubbers on the stacks then there would be no air emissions. But the Bush administration has prevented any EPA rules that tighten power plant emission regulation. So who's really to blame here?
I had some bozo tailgating me at night once, slowing down to let him pass and happing the brakes didn't get the hint across. So I put the van in reverse, the automatic trans has a lockout that wont let it actually engage, but the white reverse lights came on and he backed off for good that time.
I fount that pushing my keyboard away from me and using the open space for a cordless mouse works a lot better, it feels like a more natural position than having my arm outstretched to use the mouse to the right end of the keyboard. When I'm not using the mouse, it sits just below the spacebar in the open area between myself and the keyboard.
It took a little bit of time to get used to the front of the mouse pointing to the left, but now its just natural, I even game with it like that. It's also a shorter motion to go from mouse to keyboard. The position of my hands feels more natural, palms down with my elbows bent. Try it, fold your arms in front of you while sitting at a desk. What's less tension in your arms, palms down or vertical?
Kinky F. doesnt need to have his friends arrested to be discredited, he'll do it by himself just fine. If anything his run for Tx governor is more about getting his books and other junk sold than any sort of serious committment to public service. It is entertaining though.
Ever 'bought' a song off iTunes Music store? You cant resell them. You cant give them away.
In short, you bought license to listen to a song, and that's it. Yes, you can burn copies of it for your own personal use, but you can not (legally) sell or give them away.
You can do that with a CD, for now, but at some point CDs will be keyed to the players and the same rules will apply, or a new media format will be introduced and CDs will no longer be produced. Bought any new 8-track tapes lately? How many new albums are released any more on Cassette or LP format?
Guess you've never played Halflife2 or any of the games that require Steam. Yeah, sure you buy some media, but all that does is save the parent company the bandwidth because you dont have to download all the game data. You cant play the damn thing until you sign on to Steam.
I cant sell my HL2 disk, I cant even load it up on another machine without d-regging it on my machine. Right now I can move it that way, but that's no guarantee that I'll always be aable to do that.
This is the new model for video games, you 'buy' the media and have to sign on to enable and play the game. At that point you're at the mercy of whatever rules the game publisher wants to apply. The real goal is to have ALL media fall under this model. Certainly all digital media, paper books will be about the only thing left that you will still get a tangible, resellable copy.
Only for some type of spam, message placement will still go out. Stuff like Political ads and prosletyzing where no response is needed will still go out. But anyone trying to sell some questionable product from a website or email drop is not going to want to get hammered with the return of a big percentage of the spam emails. Phishing and other forms of identity theft are also going to be a lot harder.
If you go to the Bluesecurity site, you'll see they have multiple classes of spam and responses to each class. Some stuff gets bounced to the FDA, some to the BSA, even some to MPAA. Childporn looks like it goes to Interpol.
I have no illusions that it will get rid of ALL spam, but it will put the hurt on some spammers and that's 100% better than just trying to filter or ignore the incoming spam.
They are truly scared. This is a very potent weapon against spam. It turns the tables on them, for every message they send, they get a reply. This breaks the economy for spam. They know it and are lashing out with every thing they can think of. Problem is, some of thier tricks are very illegal and are going to land a few of them in the can.
They use zombies to send the spam for free, but somewhere, someone has to recieve the emails of suckers falling for the scams, if that box fills up with remove-me mail, the client is not going to make any money. In reality it is going to cost them bandwidth charges. If spammers send a million emails and substantial number of those reply, the whole thing breaks.
Hopefully there will be several new anti-spam efforts using Blue Frog's model. This really has to potential to finally make spam unprofitable.

I suggest you do some reading about the PPC architecture. Specifically, the BAT registers and even more specifically, the DSI, ISI exceptions and SR bits as documented the the PPC Programming Environment Manual (PEM)
Apple's been using these bits since day 1 on PPC Macs.
They prevent the system from executing instructions in blocks of memory marked Data, e.g. the stack. And provide protection between OS (supervisor) and application (user) mode execution and data access. Code executing with user priv bits set cannot access supervisor mode data, nor can it fetch instructions from supervisor instruction memory areas without causing a hardware exception (interrupt)
so, it's better to have a random passenger shot over the same thing because the x-ray box decided to put a fake gun image in their carry-on and the programmer forgot to put the disclaimer screen up afterwards?
Take it one step further, get a custom paint job, at that point the laptop is pretty much un-sellable. Of course it can be parted out, but it might stop it from getting taken in the fisrt place if it's got your personal logo painted on it.
My reason: The Latitude line is quite expandable. I can get a simple drop-in dock that has DVI and VGA that both function, so I can run two external monitors in spanning mode. Or I can get the extended Dock with a PCI slot
I can easily swap out the DVD Drive for another battery, or a 2nd hard drive With the extended Dock, I can charge the battery or use my other DVD/HD
Having two batteries allows you to hotswap one and keep running.
Of course Apple could do this with a 'PRO' line, but they dont, so Dell's got the edge here.
I'll second that, I do my best thinking the next day after a good bike ride the night before. Having a heart rate monitor helps me pace myself in the hills.
Seems like with a little bit of work, you could set up a blog and net presence that would make any employer jump to hire you. If course it's all fiction, but with the proper links and all you could make it pretty believable. Enterprising individuals could do this for you for a fee.
So for the employers who think they are being so crafty, there's a way for the unscrupulous job seeker to keep one step ahead.
Seems like retrofitting old electronics with a mini-surge protector would solve this problem. Something small that you could stick onto the back panel with double sided tape would be easy to install.
Yeah, the crazy thing is that they use a man-rated launch vehicle to carry cargo. They should be lauching the cargo with some big-dumb booster like a Titan or Delta. The crew should go up in something tried and proven, like a Soyuz. Dock the two in space and do your work. Leave the cargo there for future work, or take back just the results you need. You dont have to bring the entire shirtsleeve lab every time. That's the big mistake of the shuttle. It's time to retire it now, we could buy launch services from the Russians, or even bootstrap a local industry given the right financial incentives. If NASA offered 1/4 of the cost of a shuttle launch to private industry to get 3 astronauts to orbit, it would happen. I have no doubt that Rutan and team could figure it out with another $150 mil on the line and perhaps a contract for 10 more launches at $100M per. That's what, 2 shuttle launches?

Hmm..
Maybe they can call in Mossad and tell them that they are under Terrorist Attack.
Or the electronic equivalent, this is info-warfare.

Sounds like they should build in a torrent client/server into Myth
so the users can share the bandwidth load of the schedule.
so, it's better to have a random passenger shot over the same thing
because the x-ray box decided to put a fake gun image in their carry-on
and the programmer forgot to put the disclaimer screen up afterwards?
Is that 50 years at our current rates of use?
or 50 years at nukes replace all oil, coal and natural gas rates of use?
Big difference.

Seems more like a preteen girls stylesheet.
Why is the word 'gay' in all the aprilfools tags?
I dont see anything particularly gay about the posts, juvenile, yes, but gay?
Someone's been smoking way too much crack@!
That title makes no sense at all.
It's just a list of keywords for google to latch onto.

I shop at Costco, they are far less evil than Walmart.
Seems like retrofitting old electronics with a mini-surge protector would solve this problem. Something small that you could stick onto the back panel with double sided tape would be easy to install.
If they tags cost something like $50, I doubth that'd happen.
You'd have to be pretty pissed to blow $50 just to tag an SUV for the hell of it.
