I don't know what's funny about parent's post. It's just insightfull and sane (in contrast to most of the other posts, what has gotten into the slashdot-crowd?)
Maybe we could use this to power nanobots inside our blood-streams and then also use the hydrogen to blow open clogged arteries?
with one gram of crystals, one gram of water, constant noise and enternal time, you can drive a car to the restaurant at the end of the universe and back.
too bad that, unlike in the movies, there's no sound in space:(
Oh yeah, it can be scaled up. To power one average household (using a fuel cell), you would need the vibrations of a whole city. It's possible, though.
And also keep in mind, if there's bad vibrations, the hydrogen will go bad, too, and therefor your power will be bad and crash your computer.
A more important question though, is how on earth do you last two months with only a 4 pack of toilet paper?
That's the point, terrorists wash their beloved behinds using water. They buy toilet-paper for cover only. Due to limited budget, they go for a 4-pack each 2 months.
I wonder how the track width across different countries is going to work. If I remember correctly, that was a similar problem when connecting the UK to Europe.
Yeah, also: did you know trains switch sides inside the tunnel under the channel. After all, continental Europe drives on the wrong side of the road.
I mean seriously, anybody driven down around a couple of square blocks in Downtown, Anywhere with a sniffer lately? What, at least 40 or 50 APs show up, most of which are unsecure?
where do you live?
I'm looking at 41 APs here (fixed location), 34 of which are WPA/WPA2, 7 WEP, 0 open. This is similar to what I see at other locations in germany.
The other solution to stop the attack, is to disconnect all the network cables that access any other country. Leaving you with an internet that spans North America Alone.
Actually, there's another perspective: It would leave you with an internet that has North America missing.
I don't understand why we're even talking about what the kid did or did not do at his home.
School officials have no fucking business sniffing around in other peoples houses. This is just outrageously wrong and illegal. Even if he was taking drugs, the video should not be accepted by any court as prove. Not even the police is allowed to film you in your own home without previous reason.
My sister took a photo of a bald eagle with her cellphone. She mailed it to me and asked if I could "enhance it" for her. If she hadn't told me what it was I'd have had no idea what I was even looking at. Damn you CSI. Damn you.
Just send her some other photo of an eagle. She wont notice, right?
I think you're missing the whole crux of their argument. Yes, IE was the source of at least one of the security holes, but France and Germany are mandating
sorry, but I have to object to your choice of word here (mandating): as you say yourself later in your post, they are merely "recommending" to dump that browser. Needless to say this was long overdue and likely not merely based on the latest exploit.
I prefer my data-center to be further away from active volcanoes.
I, for one, prefer my datacenters be as far as possible away from a scared-to-death, self-centered, 1984-style, patriotic, homeland-secured government that just got a big one in the nuts on september 11th.
Do you have a need for datacenters? We do and I frankly could care less if our datacenters are located in the US and Iceland is an attractive location for the reason mentioned in the article.
You might not care where your data is hosted, but some people do care about the legislation around it and the dangers associated with that. Kinakuta!

I kinda like the approach, instead of fighting cancer directly, just...
1.) patent cancer codes
2.) make cancer pay unreasonable licence fees for use in humans
3.) watch cancer vanish
anyone want this sandwich?
Doesn't look so shiny to me.
According to the mythbusters, one can actually polish shit.
This is way better than the wifi-signal-harvesting-idea. At this reate we'll have free energy twice over in like 2 years. World saved. Go on.

you forgot time.

One cigarette butt thrown out a window, and you could have an entire highway explode.
I bet this would look pretty fucking awesome. Let's do it just for effects.
Also, how much can this be scaled up?
Oh yeah, it can be scaled up. To power one average household (using a fuel cell), you would need the vibrations of a whole city. It's possible, though.

At some point, they will make ISPs drop every packet that is not signed using an ID-Card.
Hello, Big Brother, can you please keep track of everything I ever buy and everywhere I ever go for me?
How is this different to debit and credit cards? And travel cards like the Oyster card?
As far as I know, the oyster-card is not linked to your personal identity. It's anonymous. You can get a new one at any time.
Did I miss something?

* Shut down the last hiding-place. Anonymity be gone.
* Make encryption illegal. No Secrets.
* Make people sign every ip-packet with their government-issued key and make ISPs drop all unsigned packets. Total accountability.
=> Everyone secure beneath watchfull eyes (especially our children)
creepy!

did anyone else think this was about building some ssl-tunnel through squid proxies?
what a move! Now finally I can stop evangelism for xmpp. Now I instantly have more friend on xmpp than on skype. Nice!
The A4 processor. Sounds like a sheet of paper!
Yeah, and for next iteration, the will just fold it in the middle: half as big, but 2 cores now, same power and still the golden ratio! Ingenious!
