What's even worse is when some insurance company publishes a scare article to Forbes' advertisement program, which publishes stories under the Forbes umbrella while vaguely disassociating themselves from the content. The content looks like it's Forbes. It's really sick. Here's an example.
assuming a perp uses a password from a set of 26 letters to choose from, it will take roughly two minutes to brute-force an 8-letter or fewer password with 40 Ps3's. (26^8 + 26^7 +...) / (40 * 4 * 10^7). wow, that's great! but....
assuming a set of approximately 90 characters to choose from, it will take approximately a month:(

a cooler application would be road chimes. people who live near highways and are used to the constant hum of highway noise might appreciate road chimes. it works similarly - cars drive over short bursts of sound and emit that tone. you could have different tones and different intervals interspersed throughout the road, and given the random nature of traffic, it would be like a continual road chimes. if you used a pentatonic scale as the tone set, you could produce very pleasing random melodies.
since online gambling isn't regulated, all "bets" are off. a consumer has no recourse if she is cheated, and you can't possibly trust online gambling sites where there's no regulation oversight since there's absolutely nothing stopping them from cheating. i'm all for online gambling, but it has to be regulated to protect the consumers. what this legislation should be pursuing is online regulation, not online banning.
At last, this shows that virtualization is possible. Apple's next move should be to embrace virtualization and welcome sales of their software with open arms.
All I'd like to know is how in the hell did Boston become Bawstan and Chowder become Chowda? And what's with the cities around Massachusetts, anyway? Worcester is pronounced Wusta... ?!?!? They haven't just evolved - they've completely morphed!
it's called middle-click. ff and ie both support it. middle-click the ad and it opens in a new tab. you can view it when you want to view it and focus on the task at hand.
Next up: Vonage vs Verizon in a net neutrality battle. With that pesky net neutrality out of the way, Verizon customers will receive high QOS. Vonage packets will get there. Eventually.
your perspective will change significantly when you've been diagnosed with terminal cancer and offered an experimental treatment gleaned from this invaluable research.
men for years have tried to explain to their wives what made them sleep with that other woman, but NO MORE! We now have a physiological excuse! "You see, dear, I was actually overcome by a spontaneous yet organized brain activity, perhaps spurred on by two or more guinnesses, perhaps not."

since credit cards have absolutely no profit in preventing credit card fraud / id theft (remember, it's the merchants who get screwed), of course they're against this sort of thing.

with sites like Orb networks, you can already watch live TV at high FPS on your mobile phone. You can also already display your phone's view to any computer with remote display programs; it's just a matter of considering your computer as your TV, which many of us already do.

"It's possible, given enough computing power, for computers to play "perfectly," where over a long enough match, the program cannot lose money,"
So what happens when you pit two of these against each other?
why not use a p2p approach for the tracker itself, with multiple entry nodes into the network? it's simple, elegant, resilient, robust, and powerful.

lack of net neutrality will kill them if the lawsuits don't. they're doomed regardless.

The amount awarded per song ($9250) is downright ridiculous, but she clearly did download these songs :(
