it might sound like an exercise in how much CPU can we tie up for no discernible reason, but it does have applications in encryption and chaotic systems analysis, a lot of which is directly related to the actual calculation being discussed.

All massive scandals in the public eye, yet the only ones that have seen convictions are Little Ted's and... nope, that's it. The others are very well protected under colour of Law and Establishment protectionism.
I have a stack of Dell Latitude laptops ranging from a CP PII/233 (A REAL COMPUTER) up to an Inspiron 8200 P4/2.0 (A REAL COMPUTER), that all use the same batteries. The youngest battery I have for them that still holds charge, is marked with an incept date of March 2006. The oldest battery I have is marked incept November 1999. It charges to 26% of nominal capacity and runs the CP for about twenty minutes. Replacements cost £36 a pop (in 2006) for the 4400mAh packs - from Dell.
My Asus EeePC 1008HA (A REAL COMPUTER) is four years old (purchased May 2011). The battery charges to 53% nominal and I get six hours out of that watching video. Replacement would cost about £35 - from Asus. But I'm not in a rush for that as I get to watch a couple movies on the train to Scotland without having to plug in.
My Toshiba (A REAL COMPUTER) is about the same age as the Asus (A REAL COMPUTER) (purchased March 2011). Battery is good for about three to four hours, don't know what it charges to - probably about 60% even though I totally abuse it. Replacement? No idea.
I can get practically any laptop keyboard for less than £50. They are necessarily built ot a much higher quality than desktop keyboards because for one thing they form part of the structure. A DECENT wireless keyboard (eg a Dell Bluetooth MM) costs about the same. You want to go cheap? Go nuts, tell me how long your £4 piece of shit Xenta or Kensington lasts.
FWIW I not only fixed computers on a daily basis from 2002-2008, I designed and built them as well. Even after retirement I still found myself designing, specifying orders and building the things. It's as much as thing as breathing once you've been touched by it, is PC design.
uh, no. When a Government agency puts a contract out to tender, THEY SET THE TERMS. This INCLUDES random penetration testing and periodic data security/integrity auditing. A contractor who does not agree with any terms of contract may NOT change said term, may NOT negotiate on said term, may NOT make a conditional bid.
(citaiton: I have completed Government contracts. Can't say any more under 1911 c.28 section 2).
this is why I'm having such a hard time with this entire thread. I was on 56k (connected at 50667bps every time) until 1999, at which point I doubled then tripled up and ran on 150kbit for three years, I had a Megabit internet connection in 2002, pretty soon I upgraded to 5, then 10, then 50 (by this time it was 2009). Now I'm on 100MBit, and that's not even the top tier package on Virgin, who offer 300Mbps on their top tier at frankly obscene rates. I live in a county of 865,000 where there are more computers than people and more cellphones than computers.
you can turn ads off. Go to options and then preferences, advanced, set filter to "offers" and flip the switch on "~content_offer_autoexec", "@featured_content~" (there's about half a dozen of these), "~left_rail_offer_enabled", and "~sponsored_torrent_offer_enabled". Then hit OK and restart your client. You're welcome.
in English criminal law, inference may be drawn of guilt with silence. Yes, this does fly against the Common Law and against Constitutional rights (we do have a Constitution the basis of which is the Code of King Alfred).

oh snap.

pedant: anything raised to the zeroth power is equal to one.
So, 2x10^0=2x1=1.
So you're saying that 2 feet is equal to 1 foot.
OK.
(ergo, 2 feet != 2.00000000 x 10^0) :)
compute the number of nodes and CPU-hours required, hence the system cost, of a 20x20 system.
That's before you even start calculating the actual positions.
for raping babies.

uh, no, you have clearly not the first fucking clue about what I did for a LIVING.
that's what I thought as well... but considering that was such a fucking abortion (I mean seriously? King wrote THAT crap??)...
oh?
Here's a few black swans for you.

wow. I sit corrected.

HIPAA covers unintentional breaches as well for the simple reason that unintentional breaches SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE.
nope, he's not me. And I hope Anthem gets told which country they can carry on this type of behaviour in (one without data protection laws, maybe?)
wow, how dangerous is it to fuck with the Fed? Let's ask Messrs. Lincoln and Kennedy...
yeah, only way I could rip out wajam was to boot into a knoppix session and force-kill the files then boot into safe mode and hack the registry.
What a pain the fucking arse that was.

10 Meg a pipedream?? Are you fucking serious?? Where are you, Outback Mongolia?
you downloaded utorrent from cnet. utorrent doesn't install conduit. Stop with the bullshit,

yeeeeah... just don't stick your tongue in there.
yes. Are you that fucking stupid you'll sue anyone who happens to be around when they have fuck all to do with your problem?
how about data protection laws, for a start?
This.
heh, yeah. I'll undergo a colonoscopic exam AFTER Anthem do.
