Actually, dialing 999999911111111111111. The telco has planned for just such a cafinated emergency, and made it so that dialing 911 anywhere in the number gets you through to 911.
Think of the definition of frequency. Hz=whatever/second. The whatever in this case is your data. You want more data per second. Its the inverse of the shortest pulse you can send.
Collections of buttons and menus! A TRUE engineer needs no such thing! Command line interface and compile-time defines are all thats needed. Along with some undocumented configuration files.
The 60Hz is accurate over long period of time. The power company will correct drift in the frequency so that over a few months it will average out to be pretty much exact. Some wall clocks use this to keep time. It will drift quite a bit, but it will always drift back again (not like a crystal, which will tend to drift out in one direction, but not as quickly as the AC clock).
That has nothing to do with the precision of floating point. That's just printf's default formatting. Who's to say it should print 0.3 and not 0.30000000000? hUH?
...as many as 75 computers around the world. The intruder had planted malicious software on these systems that had turned them into autonomous launching pads for denial-of-service attacks.
Only 75? I would think it would take much more than that.
There is no way that they would ever put this into all A/D converters. That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Don't these morons realize that an A/D converter is NOT just for audio and video?!! Are they going to put this on PLC's with built in converters? Methinks someone is on crack.
A spectograph doesn't display all the audio information. It shows frequencies and amplitude, but not phase. So you would need a phase map as well. Or a 3d image.
Neat stuff, I've never heard of these before. One thing I've been wondering is when the Big Bang Theory ceased to be a theory. It seems everyone just accepts it as fact now.
This doesn't look that great to me. I like to have as many input devices available as possible. There is no key on my keyboard that goes unmapped. Being forced to do everything through one simple input device means the user has to perform more complex operations just to do a simple task. Its much faster just to have a button for everything. Just reach over and press. Nice and quick. None of this fiddling around with input sequences.
There is no such thing as unused bandwidth. Someone is paying for it. Using some extra may not cost you, but if, for example, everyone on a cable internet provider starts using all the bandwidth available 24x7, there would be major problems for the provider.
Oh wow, galvanic skin response technology. What a new concept *NOT*. How about sticking some ohmeter probes to your fingers and watching the needle on the meter? What a fun game. I'm getting so excited.
So if its not the administrator's job to make decisions regarding the network, then what exactly IS his job? The these people get paid is to maintain a network. If they don't have the power to change anything, nothing will get changed. They will sit in their office all day and twiddle their thumbs waiting for someone to come and tell them that they can change the firewall ruleset.
If you don't want to just outright block everything, you could always set up an IDS to track the usage of the problem clients. Whip up some scripts to create a summary of userids and what they were dowloading and how much bandwidth they were wasting (include some $$$ amounts). Post it up where everyone will see it.
microsoft is now encourage the new 'WinVid' style graphics cards. These new devices are much cheaper than regular video cards because they allow the manufactures to put much less electronics on the card. Gamers everywhere are protesting, saying the new cards will not perform as well, and in fact close resemble the video cards found in the discount bin at the local ma & pa computer shop. Microsoft, however insists they will work just as well as the current style cards.
This is so unbelivably stupid I don't even know where to begin!
First of all, where do you draw the line on something like this? Should it illegal to post the text "rm -rf/"? What about all those crappy programs that automatically update themselves and install spyware? (it would be nice if those got shut down.)
What about virus scanners? Are the only ones allowed to make virus scanners those who obtain some kind of ($$$) license? What will this do to communities like securityfocus?
What about unintentional malicious code? Say a bug that causes corruption of a file. Could you be held legally responsible for a coding error (regardless of disclaimers)!?
This seems like nothing more than a bunch of meaningless drivel sent out to appease the masses. Sad thing is, most people would see this and say "oh good, no more bad 'hackers' trying to erase my word processor documents". *sigh*, this ignorant world we live in.

"rilfes" are not the only guns with rifling. Most handguns have it as well.

I draw the circle BEFORE poking the pencil into the eraser. Its a lot easier to draw that way.

Failure? Who said it is failing? I don't EVER want linux to be like windows!
According to the article the system uses SSL encryption.
There appear to be no recordings of it on the page. I wanna hear some 8bit teddy audio in its full glory!
Actually, by the looks of it its more like:
Got 2 Turntables and a teddy beeeaaar!

There are tons of programs out there for *nix to see it. Try extace

Also, read BOFH.
Why do you need to do this at all? What's wrong with gvim as it is?
