This places a limit on the peak intensity of a laser beam, not on the peak (or average) power. It does not limit the total energy per pulse nor the power output of a laser. Furthermore, the limit is far beyond the level that turns anything the beam hits into plasma. It has no relevance to laser weapons except insofar as the the effect may someday be utilized for destructive purposes. It may have some relevance to laser fusion.

They have for decades. They and others have interviewed authors flogging books for longer yet.
And btw, the problem with the strong passwords is that you have to actually write them down on note, or file, if you don't wanna to forget them, which becomes even greater security issue than having a weak passwords.
Wrong. Strong passwords written down on a piece of paper kept in your wallet along with your credit cards and cash are quite secure. If your wallet is stolen you will probably know about it in time to change your passwords before they get used (if the thief even figures out what they are for). If your weak passwords are cracked you will only know when it is too late.
In matter of fact, there are banks that are forbidding you to use too strong password...

It's not the latitude. There they don't have to be so bright as to visible through the skies of Cleveland. As in most large cities, the residents think there are only five stars in the sky, all only visible when a power failure coincides with an unusually clear night.
Wait, what? You answer a rhetorical question by telling me that the mercenaries are mine?
"We" includes you. In this case it most certainly does not include me. But, no, I didn't tell you that the mercenaries were yours: you said that you were having trouble hiring any. I offered some suggestions.
And that you have a record of their kill statistics?
While the details are secret (well, until recently...) according to news reports totals run to 200,000 or so in the Middle East recently (mostly civilians, of course).
If mercenaries can find work in the middle east, why can't we hire them to find and dispose of the people making withdrawals from the bank accounts of the "premium rate" numbers?
At a guess, either because you are not looking in the right places or because you are not offering enough money. What have you tried so far?
This just really seems like one of those problems that some good old fashioned violence would be great for solving/deterring.
Right. After all, it's working so well in the Middle East, and it's not like your "mercenaries" have a record of killing the wrong people or anything.
From a marketing perspective, Linux has the problem that no one really knows how widely it is used.
I'm sure a number of organizations such as IBM and Microsoft have done the survey research needed to determine approximately how widely Linux is used. They just have not chosen to share their expensive results with you (or me).
I applaud Canonical for the courage in carrying this through, given that the privacy freaks are going to, well, freak.

Fools.
You've confounded /dev/null and /dev/random. The latter is where all the really exciting stuff is (it includes all of pi!)

You better hope we never have a solar flare such that the resulting aurora is visble from Cleveland.
That's an original, I think.
Well, the local copy, anyway...
No, looking in /dev/null doesn't reveal much of anything.

No one. Data cannot be owned.

It could. It is quite possible that some mules will find themselves in serious trouble.

You're 100% wrong.
It's the conservatives.

Too late for that. It's always too late for that on Slashdot. There are monkeys here who crap in their hands and throw it at the fan.

Emacs is not a Unix program.
Why?
Unfortunately, most of what they "know" isn't true.
What gave you that idea? Do you know what NTP is?
I'm sure a number of organizations such as IBM and Microsoft have done the survey research needed to determine approximately how widely Linux is used. They just have not chosen to share their expensive results with you (or me).
There is little to be done about loons.

Regardless of what the numbers actually are.

Most classrooms have no give and take.
> Pi is the sum of an infinite series, and the series converges.
Yes.
> Thus it is expected that number of digits in Pi ends.
No.
Right. For every message m there is certainly a subset of the digits of e which when XORed with a particular subset of the digits of pi reveals m.
