posing as computer programmers, were able to gain employment at Microsoft and attempted to plant "trojans, trapdoors, and bugs in Windows XP,"
How can you pose as a computer programmer? How can a non-programmer slip inside Microsoft and just plant trojans, trapdoors and bugs?
OK. The article obviously says the person is in need to psychatric help.
Microsoft spokesman Jim Desler said Afroze's claims about the company were "bizarre and unsubstantiated and should be treated skeptically."
Slashdot isn't quite the skeptic when it comes to Microsoft. Come on, some loony clamining ridiculous things gets a headline in./?
the IBM team set about examining elements drawn from practically the whole of the periodic table. All told, the group made and tested no fewer than 30,000 multi-layer combinations of elements.
The periodic table has about 100 elements (that last for more than a second). I don't much about this stuff but isn't the periodic table made so that you don't have to examine each and every element? You can sort of predict across 'rows' and 'columns'?
Also, how can you make 30,000 combinations out of multi-layers of 100 elements?
Hmm, wonder if they tried Sodium Chloride as one of the combinations? There can't be 30,000 valid combinations in solid state physics that satisfy the criterion needed for GMR heads!
... so, the team made an absolutely crucial discovery. They found that varying the thickness of the spacer layer actually affected the behaviour of the magnetic layers.
I would think that would be obvious. I mean after 30,000 test, they find that thickness matters?
if you don't know the answer, you're going to either look it up, or ask somebody Most subsequent chapters in Mathematics builds on the ones previous to it. If you have to keep looking things up, then by the time you get beyond half the book, you'd have to be looking up an enourmous amount of stuff. Besides if you aren't given a context (a chapter) from which to solve the problem , how are you going to look it up when you don't know what. However, when it's in your head, you see the pattern immedeatly.
And he did it, too. He'd structure some of the questions such that they looked like english wordings of the equasions, but he'd alter something. He'd go ahead and square root something that the forumla is supposed to, so if you plug it in, you'll square root it again, and fuck up. It was great. OK, I'm not sure what you mean but mathematical problems don't come with a personality (i.e. made by this and this) for one to reverse engineer the solution.
Alas, for 99% of the people, Math problems are limited to questions on a test or the end of a chapter. And, for the 1%, 99.99% of the problems solved are to prepare for the 0.01% that they'll be the first person in the world to solve.
P-channel that corresponds to portion 58 has been set to 0. This is because standard 908-compliant CD encoding circuitry does not directly provide for the copying of the P-channel from a source CD that is being duplicated. Rather, the CD encoding circuitry itself decided when and how to set the P-channel. During duplication the CD encoding circuitry merely sets the P-channel=0 while recording to the data are, and therefore the P-channel setting of portion 60 is ignored. Thus, during playback, the substituted audio data portion 58 is provided to the digital-to-analog converter as normal data, resulting in audio distortion and potentially damaging the output circuitry.
Why does this prevent ripping? You can rip to WAV (ignore the p-blocks which a CD-reader does)? It only explots the fact that CDR specs has a "fault" on it when you directly pass them bit for bit data it just doesn't flag the control data at all.
I mean (not to violate DMCA or anything), there could potentially be software that would strip these p-blocks out of the read stream before passing it to the CDR drive since the p-blocks are just "potentially circuitry damaging" signals and don't contribute to anything to the positive CD-features.
Slashdot has a large database of information on what you post (and maybe also which topics you clicked on and how long you spent reading them and so on).
I don't know why you are so concerned about where you will be spending your money getting out of your control.
And I don't know why advertisers think that obtrusive advertising will gain anything. Drivers would probably psychologically associate anger with the product and reject even if maybe the best one out there.
Last of all, local FM stations are almost the same. They advertise local sales, don't they?
