Scientists are generally knowledgable, but only in their field of specialization. You don't expect a particle physicist to know about macro biology, and you don't expect an ornithologist to know about particle physics.
Computer security is another one of those fields that requires its own study time to be competent in, and most people aren't interested or don't want to spend the time.
In a computer sense, or in a pristine wilderness sense?
If the latter, then I'd like to point out that there's a great deal we can learn about the Earth's climate and biological history, as well as contained ecosystems. (Lakes under the ice with more than just bacteria? Who knew there'd be enough O2 for animal life?)
If the former, well, you know those haxxor guys...
I never really messed with POV-Ray, but I do know you can change your rendering resolution, to render faster. That won't capture all the detail, though.
Perhaps you can render only specific regions of an image at its final resolution?
I think it's a good idea. Just so long as the end-user really was acting as a source for the material, and not as a mere routing point for the searches and requests. (The opinion has a fairly decent simple explanation of how the systems in question work along those lines.)
Is leaving a free-to-use phone outside your house "aiding and abetting?"
Correct. But my point applies to the attitude of the aggressive and popular organizations...not specifically the services they provide.
Should hosting services and ISPs take on a similar attitude, and some already do, then the service that was advertized will be targeted "to be on the safe side," before any sort of investigation takes place.
What I don't understand is that I was definitely allergic to our new kitten when we first got her, but the problem eventually went away. We adopted the kitten from the Great Outdoors. (Meaning she was haning out on our front porch every time we got home, no matter how late.)
The same thing was true of my brother and our other cat, who'd been an indoor cat long before my brother met him.
(Exactly those that, like all the weapons of mass distruction, can't be found now)
As of this morning, Fox news is speculating that they were driven to Syria, based on the evidence that Hussein sent his "most trusted government branch" to control the border crossings with Syria.
In fact, Fox was bringing on experts who said it was likely that all the WMDs were shipped to Syria shortly before the war.
The "Next" Google will have to be pretty darn impressive. Google just keeps producing more and more ideas. Check out the "more" link from their main page, or Google Labs. (Google Sets is my personal favorite...)
XP gives you the option to search the Internet from the same dialog you use to search for files on your computer.
Unless Longhorn adds searches to a prominent toolbar, it shouldn't make any difference. Even if it does, look on the bright side: We can always look forward to another antitrust suit.:)
In that case, you could do as many source colors as you wanted. Use four colors for IPv4. Use four cycles of four colors for IPv6. (There don't seem to be all that many different colors for LEDs. infrared, red, amber, green, blue, and variations on brightness and efficiency.)

Heinlein's Methuselah's Children talked about genetically improving humans. Unfortunately, unimproved humans found the "improved" human too revolting to deal with.
Star Trek: TOS touched on human evolution with Khan's supermen, as well as with the two personnel (the commander(lieutenant?) and the psychologist) who got zapped by an ion storm.
Isaac Asimov touched on it in his universe with the Spacers. (Specifically one of the first fifty or so worlds colonized from Earth...that one developed a race of humans with telekinetic power.)
The overall fictional consensus seems to be to not directly force humans to evolve, but to let things happen as they do. The vast majority of humans are intolerant of overt differences from the norm. And the "superior" breed will get a superiority complex that really causes a clash.

Not a good firewall, but you'd think the Intrusion Countermeasure Electronics would have kicked in...

If the share price goes up? I'd be more interested in regular dividends.
Granted, I don't know a whole lot about investing.
Just a guess, but maybe you ought to learn about tab stops. :)
I tutor computer courses at the local community college, and I've found that tab stops are Word's primary tool for horizontal positioning.

Downloading Firefox doesn't take too unbearably long. As for the kernel, I download the patches on the broadband connection at work.
...that dial-up works well enough for me. Most of my time is spent on Gmail, Slashdot, IRC, and a few other low-clutter websites.
Correct. But my point applies to the attitude of the aggressive and popular organizations...not specifically the services they provide.

Some people will only want the digital camera for special events like a hiking trip, geocaching, a birthday, camping, Christmas, etc.
Sounds to me like they've got a pretty solid market.
"Collateral damage is just fine--Until I'm the one being damaged."
Except the more agressive (and popular) anti-spam organizations do take a "shoot first, ask questions later" policy.
Oh, and
"I don't even have a little dog Toto..."
That would also work to get non-spamming businesses to warm up to spam. Think about it; who'd turn down free advertising?
(Until, of course, they start getting hate mail, both electronic and postal.)

Scratch that. I misread the article.
I just wish they weren't so public about it. From a PHB perspective: If a think tank does it, it's got to be good!
I only see Fox when it's on the TV in the gym. It's not like I seek it out.
Maybe, but I'd still be careful about linking to government sites in Slashdot articles. :)
Last I heard, a couple of old, rusted shells were found. But even Fox isn't trumpeting the news...
