Doesn't just *allowing* the use of numbers and special characters automatically increase the search space size, regardless of whether the user takes advantage of them? It's the fact that cracking systems will focus on all letters first which makes them weaker, right?
I'm not John, John, any of the Dans, or Marty, but to answer your question, you probably heard On the Drag, from the Working Undercover for the Man EP. Info here: http://tmbw.net/wiki/On_The_Drag
This would be news to the command crew of the Enterprise D, who couldn't come to grips with the idea of turning more flight control over to the computer in Booby Trap.
Exactly what I was thinking. I hope it doesn't turn the Mozilla project into a mad super-villain, which in turn changes all other software on Earth into copies of itself.
I get, alternately, 97/100 or 100/100, with a "LINKTEST FAILED" message in red regardless of the score. According to an unsubstantiated statement on Wikipedia's Acid3 page, "The testing report claims that test 26 took too long and thus is not within the 30fps criteria."
The video in TFA clearly shows people moving their fingers apart to zoom in, and together to zoom out. The article got it wrong. In fact, it looks like that part of the article is from a press release, so that would mean than NG got their own damn system wrong. Idiots.
I just called my Congressman's office (Ed Markey) since he's on the full Energy and Commerce Committee, and voice my concern and general opposition to the bill as written, citing specifically the Limitations section. Then I saw the link to the list of sponsors, and much to my dismay he's one of 'em. Time to fire off an email.
We should be aspiring to send an intelligent squid, instead. Maybe it can find some artificial wormhole device embedded in an NEO, and its progeny will go on to conquer to Trojan asteroids...
I agree--this "article" is shit. I thought he was arguing that the passage of the bill *without* net neutrality would hurt the development of "online OSes", but since I can't really follow the rambling text, I could be wrong. The site's editor(s) should be ensuring that poorly written material like this gets revised before we have to suffer through it.
Bender: I'll miss you, Leela. I know you're just a carbon-based
life-form, but I'll always think of you as a big pile of
titanium. [Sniffles]
Fry: What Bender means is, you're really brave, and smart and
beautiful and a great friend.
Bender: Just like titanium. [Sobs]
Leela: This is all a big load. I was the one trying to save
the Popplers. You [Points at Fry] were sucking them
down like the fat hog you are, and you [Points at
Bender] were stepping on them for fun. You both should
be in here instead of me.
Bender: Someone's acting awfully aluminum.
I'll feed the ignorant foul-mouthed troll... Want QuickTime without iTunes? Go to the QuickTime download page (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/) and discover the link labeled "QuickTime Standalone Installer" right in the lower-middle part of the page. They don't shout it from the rooftops, but they're not doing anything to hide it. So STFU.
A number of other people have addressed the posed question of how do they determine a planet's mass. What I figured people would be baffled by is the question I had: How do they determine the planet's diameter?
TFA to the rescue!
This planet also passes in front of its star and dims the starlight. "When that happens, we are able to calculate the physical size of the planet, whether it has a solid core, and even what its atmosphere is like," said Debra Fischer. She is consortium team leader and professor of astronomy at San Francisco State University, California.
Pretty straighforward. I know they've used this technique in the past for more massive objects (like binary star companions) but I was surprised they could use it for something this "small".

If that's TMBG, I'll eat an eggplant (and I really don't like eggplant).

Weren't there Disney robots that did this in EPCOT Center, back in the 80s?
So *this* is why we have a pending helium shortage?

Yup, that's what I've always called it. And a T is a three-way intersection.
I still think they are a pretty neat idea.

And two victory points!
Hey, if the guys with cannons say Baltimore is a state, who's going to argue?

Only if you have an inexhaustible supply of 50 year periods.

What man?
The man from the International Astronomical Union van.
The International Looney van, you mean.

I think that's the only The Young Ones I've seen.
Well, if that's what it takes to motivate a serious Mars program... Utopia Planitia, here we come!
Meanwhile, it's too bad that serious scientific projects only make us (myself included) think of sci-fi consequences.
