well outside maybe the 1920's, I can't think of a particular time America has been at peace for 10+ years.
not that it's good or bad, just how it is... I'd say we have such internal peace cause we've always had external conflicts, not unlike Britain or Rome's rise and fall.
-maybe we will beat the fall somehow --someone's gotta be the first
Yes, the Chinese Professional Math League (YDVF) is quite a sight to watch. Arenas filled with cheering fans watching a bunch of guys doing math and science. I still don't like the free agency rule implemented last year, but it has provided more parity between teams. The 'player' salaries are quite a bit higher actually than some of the top athletes in sports like football in other places around the globe. They truly treat mathematics like we treat athletics.
although I can't complain too hard, even with stuff like this and kdawson... The good stuff versus crap ratio is still (significantly) higher on this site than most others which is why I keep coming back. uh, yay slashdot?
anyways, I understand the Ashkenazi Jews have been doing this for some time due to specific genetic disorders specific to their group. And, as I'm no expert I'm not going to talk at any length on this, go wikipedia it =)
I would like to point out that senators and congressmen and such are far more likely to have an immediate family member in the armed forces than society at large. Heard it on the news or something, and while I have no idea how to check that fact, it does seem reasonable to me. If true, then that passes your 'sign your kids up' thing.
though I really don't care much either way as I'm in no position to do anything about any of it...
This is not the slashdot I know and love. Where are all the calls to open source the project for all the eleventy billion reasons that F/OSS is superior in every way imaginable?!!?!?!?
I've always been afraid that if Blizzard can ever figure out how to get some labor out of WoW players, like 40 man raids simulate protein folding or something, they'd be unstoppable.
And the outhouse in the article is basically a very early alpha version of what you'll see of humanity at some point in the future... probably distant future. And then it'll basically be the matrix. And they'll prolly still have a monthly charge, and we'll pay it. =/
You haven't been keeping up. Now time supposedly has multiple dimensions like space. I don't understand it either, but maybe the timecube guy is right after all.
in the 'early nineties' 1990-1995, there really was not enough power to do what you're talking about. well maybe on a ridiculous setup, but nothing practical in the production world.
as someone who has installed Novell's multi-protocol-router back in the day on something equivalent to a P90, it wasn't terribly hard to overtax the thing. packet scheduling and shaping weren't anywhere near possible. now that was basically a 'software router'
dedicated routers do their jobs better than installing software on a general purpose machine, however in that era the router hardware lagged behind what you could get in a desktop or server. By quite a bit. I don't know about now, I haven't done that sort of stuff in forever, I'm a code monkey now.
People have been playing around with prioritization forever, you could give some clients priority over others in Token Ring 16. I don't recall if Token Ring 4mbit had it. But that was not easy, and then you're basically using the entire network as a router between PCs (kinda sorta). So computationally it wasn't taxing, but your slow local area network just got slower. To the best of my knowledge there was no way to prioritize packets, just client machines (although I didn't work with that much anyways so I'm only 87% sure)
The important thing is that I had a token ring tied to my belt, which was the style at the time. Couldn't get ethernet cause of WW1. =P
if you go randomly grab 22,000 computers for your botnet, it's far more likely than not that some would be in the US. Even if they only targeted BBC registered users or something (didn't read TFA), there'd still be overseas users and such, some in the US. Not that I'm an expert, but I don't think they could reliably get computers from only inside GB.
The vent line is at the intertank region of the external tank and is the overboard vent to the pad and the flare stack where the vented hydrogen is burned off....
All you gotta do is reflangulate the intertank, recalibrate the L16 connectors for the overboard vent pad, then halve the current to the flare dampener in the flare stack to compensate for the excess vented hydrogen. Bake on 350 for 20 minutes and allow to cool.
As a programmer (admittedly not in this field), I really, really, really doubt we're able to implement anything close to 'emotion' past the level of a honeybee.

And it's been peer-reviewed. The other brothers can't deny.
You could update without a box reboot in windows 3.0, 3.1 and 3.11 =P
makes Detroit look like Paris.
Funny you say that, because people win PowerBall on a regular basis...

Get off my lawn.
Most any security problem can be traced back to this function.

everyone here just telling him to sell.
not flamebait, actually +1 surprised.

well I don't question myself, I'm pretty much perfetc.
Shhhh! I just figured this out a few years ago. Don't tell others, I need all the help I can get.
I was never good at English courses in school, now I'm wishing I would have paid more attention...
it turned out to actually be a portrait of Sir Francis Bacon...

Well it does. And it doesn't. Until you look anyways.
I have a eee 900 with XP pro. I run world of warcraft, SQL server, and visual studio on it. (did upgrade to 2gb ram).
Never had a problem with anything, but that's also due to understanding what it can and cannot do on such limited hardware.
I do really like it, although I've got my eyes on the N10 model now...
