Wikipedia has a snippet about an accidental human exposure to near vacuum. "his last conscious memory was of the water on his tongue beginning to boil"... gnarly.
I recommend this website especially the section on Health and Safety before someone gets killed from following electrical safety advice from Slashdot. Some really good advice about lockouts, measuring supposedly dead points 3 times (once to see if its live, once against a known source, and once to make sure your meter wasn't faulty the first time) and making first contact using the back of your hand.
Is it just me, or does every Ballmer interview feel like it's seething with aggression? I always find them hard to read.
It's almost like he's attempting to use aggression to disguise the fact there is no real content in what he is saying.
'We're going to compete. We're going to be in the online business. We are going to have a core around online. We're going to be excellent. That, I would tell people, to count on...'
Well, that's great and all Mr Ballmer, do you care to expand on why you believe this or shall I just sheepishly agree in case you start flinging furniture?
Three months ago we installed a Mitel ICP3300 with approx 64 extensions with future plans to have teleworkers working from home and a small remote switchboard in our US sales offices. I would also recommend this system, its reliable, good call quality, well-featured and can be managed via a web browser very intuitively.
Well actually -- I'll let commedian Ed Byrne explain this one to you:
"I love that bit of musical parody. I'd love to see them do like a musical parody of ironic by Alanis Morrisette, they could do a really wacky version with some irony in it.That would be an odd notion wouldn't it? Cause that song really gets to me for that very reason cause she wrote a song about irony and filled them with things that were supposed to be ironic and none of them were. they were all just unfortunate. I always think that song should of been called 'Unfortunate'. The only ironic thing about that song is that it's called ironic and it's written by someone who doesn't know what irony is. Fairly ironic when you think about it.
I'm going to coin a new word which is 'alanic', that's things that aren't ironic but you might think they were if you were a dozy canadian bint
I'm not being harsh, if you actually listen to the lyrics to the song. "Like a traffic jam when your already late"- that's not ironic it's just a pain in the hole that's what that is. When was the last time you were late for something, got stuck in a traffic jam and said "Look on the irony on this , there's irony for ya. I'll tell ya I was in a fierce ironic traffic jam the other day iIll tell ya. The irony was ninety."
No, there's nothing ironic about being stuck in a traffic jam when your late for something. Unless your a town planner. If you were a town planner and you were on your way to a seminar of town planners at which you were giving a talk on how you solved the problem of traffic congestion in your area, couldn't get to it because you were stuck in a traffic jam, that'd be well ironic, I'm sorry I'm late you'll never guess.
"It's like rain on your wedding day", only if marrying a weatherman and he set the date. I could go on and I will.
A no-smoking sign on your ciggerette break, that's inconsiderate office management. A no-smoking sign in a cigerette factory- irony. It's not a difficult concept Alanis. It's very rare you see a ironic no-smoking sign although if you ever see one of those that say thank-you for not smoking and you are. Fairly ironic
The best line in that song has got to be the line "It's like 10 000 spoons when all you need is a knife." That's not ironic that's just bloody stupid. How big is your sink alanis? We haven't got 10 000 spoons beween us have we? What do you need this knife for? To stab the bloke who keeps leaving spoons all over your house. But we'll give her the benefit of the doubt. Imagine you needed a knife for something, couldn't find one cause all you find was 10 000 spoons, could happen. And therefore you couldn't do whatever it was you needed the knife for then the next day it turned out that a spoon would have done.
Actually, yes, put it in second turn the key and hold on cause its a bumpy ride. Once you going you can rev match to change gears and try to just roll to traffic lights. My old car tore through a few clutches before i realised it was the gearbox, so I got quite good at driving with-out one:)
But to get back on topic, it's the starter motor thats getting the roadspeed up so the IC engine can get going, so your right.
Your trolling I know, but you really should investigate a little deeper, you'd find your world isn't so US centric as you think, for example Tim Berners-Lee was born and educated in Britain.
Nope, we have to suffer BT's customer dis-service also. The situation is worse as we have fewer alternatives, I can only think of one, NTL, and they are unavailable where I live.
[I havn't read the spec but..] This is assuming the people who break the system release their key (notice a lack of an if clause, it will be broken, either by reverse engineering or by someone on the inside of a player manufacturer), I think a monopoly on the HDDVD copying business would be more attractive instead.
Also, manufacturers are lazy, they will have a generic model with some sort of rom socket that will include the key (most likely encrypted again), once this is broken, they'll just keep selling the same model with a new key in rom, which will be extracted in the same way, rinse and repeat.
It's a chicken/egg situation, the hardware manufacturers are going to support the most popular software and unfortunatly thats the software with the most eye candy.
If a great windowing system is exclusively available for one manufacturers card, the other manufacturers will be jumping over each other to add support.
I say, work with what you've got, let the others kick themselves when they realise their ignorance and complacancy lost them the market.
Well, not really, Slackware did a version jump from 4 to 7 because people did not realise the difference between the Slackware version and the component packages version. See: Why the jump from 4 to 7? from the Slackware FAQ.
According to WikipediaElk Cloner was the first virus to be caught "in the wild" i.e. outside of a research lab. It ran on Apple II systems, more than likely because MS-DOS was barely capable of running programs at the time.
Also, lets keep things in context, Sasser can install and execute itself remotely without any user interaction -- there is a big difference between that and booting from a random floppy disk or logging in as root, downloading, chmod +x virus, and executing./virus.

Compare to Google, who have announced doubling profits, accessible search, live traffic maps, and an open source repository in just the last week.

You could have at least put a link to it in your comment, that dosn't cost a million dollars.
