Aero Glass works on a Core Duo Mac Mini, so I'd have to say the answer is "pretty damn slim." How much of the 220 W that computer uses is the processor and why were you complaining about the 100 W that Power 6 is using at more than twice the clock speed?
I think you'll find that computer uses 110 W, being a Mac Mini, not an iMac. The iMac's 220 W includes the built-in screen!
The really fun thing is that, if you want ADSL, Telstra's terms and conditions force you to get the $27/month line rental option - the $20/month has a restriction limiting you to Telstra's (and only Telstra's) services.
That's not true. Here in Adelaide we're on the basic $20/month line rental and we have ADSL on it. The ADSL is not through Telstra's equipment. It's on Adam Direct.

Even though it says you should use SSL on those ports given, in fact it works with normal plain-text POP3 on port 110 as well. And you can just use your ISP's SMTP server to send mail if you like.
The common way is to hover with a mouse, seeing the URL in the status bar.
This method is unavailable for 'mouse-less' environments - one cannot hover with a stylus.
Use your stylus to click on some nearby non-link text, then hit Tab or Shift-Tab until the link you want is selected. Voila, the URL appears in the status bar.
Yeah - It won't even run.NET apps compiled from Managed C++, only those compiled from C#. It also includes a compiler for C# but not for C++, and g++ won't target.NET bytecode... So I can't take my existing.NET work and run it on Mono. I must port it over to a new language!

Europe is an expensive market to get into for non-European companies. We may love the fact that there are so many countries packed together and each country has its own flavor, but that also means every country has its own rules and regulations and many of them are structured to strongly prefer domestic companies rather than pure importers like Nintendo. The European Union is helping to fix that, albeit slowly.
From the news I hear, the EU is doing the opposite. Aren't they trying to block lots of Chinese manufacturers, such as clothing and textiles, to protect their own workers?
To transfer the entire memory of the Commodore in 2 seconds, that's quite impressive. It may be possible, but I highly doubt it. What interface would have that sort of bandwidth? Surely not the serial printer/disk ports or even the user port (cartridge interface). If you wanted to do something with the data other than just plop it into the RAM, you'd be limited by the write speed of the disk, much lower than 32 KBps.
Not all Asians have their surname before their given name, though this one is a case of that. Zhou Hongyi has a Han Chinese name like 95% of China's population. The first name is the family name, Zhou. The last name is the given name, Hongyi. Family names are usually one syllable, and generally follow the father's family name. Given names are generally one or two syllables, and are usually given by parents but sometimes changed by the person themself.
Your linear regression is a mind-blowingly stupid way to interpret the decay in price. It's more likely to be an exponential decay. I calculate that COST = 1.358E+109 * EXP(-0.1212 * YEAR). By next year, they'll cost $3100, the year after that, $2750. They will hit the $1000 barrier some time in 2016.
Well they've removed the ability to make your command window (DOS prompt) full screen in Windows Vista. It always says full screen mode is not available when I press Alt-Enter. That'll make a whole heap of DOS software incompatible.
How is your performance using large PST files over SMB? We have a tiny 10-person organisation doing that. The server is on 1000 Mbit and the rest on 100 Mbit ethernet. When the users' PSTs get over about 500 MB they start to slow down, and performance with 1.7 GB PSTs is atrocious.:-(
Unfortunately the hukou (residence permit) system is still around. There are still heavy restrictions on internal migrant workers in China. They do not have access to the same rights and services as those with local papers. They have to pay more to send their kids to school, for example. It's not feasible to tell workers they should move somewhere where they get more pay. Millions are already doing that, but they face huge burdens in the process, and are often forced to take back-breaking labouring jobs in the cities, or else return to their home town empty handed.
The paper you linked to (http://www.oscca.gov.cn/UpFile/200621016423197990 .pdf) describes a cryptographic algorithm called SMS4, and includes several lookup tables. It's not a reference implementation but there are some examples given. I don't have time to attempt a full translation now, but perhaps someone else can help out.
The title is "The SMS4 encryption algorithm used by wireless local area network products"
The introductory paragraph says "This algorithm is a block algorithm. The algorithm's block length is 128 bits, and the key length is 128 bits. The encryption algorithm and the key expansion algorithm both use a 32-turn non-linear iterative structure. The structure of the decryption algorithm and the encryption algorithm are similar, just the order of use of the turn keys is opposite; the decryption turn key is the reverse order of the encryption turn key."
(Chinese is not my native language; I probably got some technical terms wrong. Especially "turn key", I don't know what that is!)
I went to an all-male private school in Sydney, Australia. Most of the boys didn't even shower after P.E. classes. Of those who did, most left their swimmers or P.E. shorts on while showering.
Even while getting changed into swimmers most boys either went into the toilet cubicle and locked the door, or wrapped a towel around themselves to prevent anyone seeing their private parts.
I think my school was a bit f*cked up!
However, in later life I have found most men to be OK about being naked in front of other males in changing rooms at the gym, beach or pool. However, in a mixed-sex environment such as a sauna, no way! We're not that liberated:-(
Getting back to the topic, I'm really angry at the ALP -- can they do nothing right?! I'm getting totally sick of the bastard Howard, but that idiot Beazley is no competition. I'll continue voting for the Greens. Even though they have no hope of forming government, they can exert influence and perhaps be the balance of power between Labor and Liberal.
You wish. In a big 32-bit game world, effort has to be made to re-origin the data as you move. Suppose you want vertices to be positioned to within 1cm (worse than that and you'll see it), and you're 10km from the origin. The low order bit of a 32-bit floating point number is now more than 1cm.
Really? You can see 1cm discrepancies at a distance of 10km? I can't do that with my naked eyes, an probably not with even with a basic set of binoculars, let alone the low resolution images that the PS3 (or nearly any computer for that matter) can put out.
No, that's not what he meant. I made the same mistake on first reading. Imagine that positions within the game world are represented by 32-bit floating point values. There is some point within the game world that is at (0.0f, 0.0f). Now imagine you have moved ten kilometres away from that point. You're not looking at the origin, but just at the features around you. However, the granularity of the position values for each object around you is now worse than if you were standing near the zero point of the game world. Assuming a 23-bit mantissa, the granularity is around 1.2 mm -- not too bad, really. And I don't know too many single game maps that would extend to 100 km, 1000 km where the granularity would become a real problem.

I was not saying we have a practical way of turning an MD5sum back into clear text. Obviously we don't, except by guessing passwords and comparing their hashes.
dotgain wrote: It was always the case that two values could collide to the same hash. You'd be a fool to think otherwise, there's only so many possibilities of hash output, but infinite possibilities of input. Therefore, for each hash value, there are an infinite number of plaintexts that will collide.
In the situation where an unlimited length plaintext must hash to a limited length hash value, it is not necessarily the case that every single hash value has an infinite number of plaintexts that will collide. Certainly, there must be a number of hash values that do have an infinite number of corresponding plaintexts, but there may be some hash values that have a limited (or even zero) number of corresponding plaintexts.
Electronic Passport RFIDs will hold 64 KB. That would take a lot of barcodes.
The ICAO specification for use of contactless chip technology
requires a minimum capacity of 32 kilobytes (KB). The U.S. has decided
to use a 64KB chip to permit adequate storage room in case additional
data, or biometric indicators such as fingerprints or iris scans, are
included in the future. Before modifying the definition of ``electronic
passport'' to add a new or additional biometric identifier other than a
digitized photograph, we will seek public comment through a new rule
making process.
I wonder what effect MP3 or other lossy compression has on such images. Since these codecs are designed to remove inaudible content, and much of the image data is probably inaudible.
