They also don't have to refuel and load luggage (at least, far less since they are intended for commuters largely). That gives them a faster turn around time.
Add in that they can stop at any point along the track completely safely if given enough warning and you have a much more convenient system of travel.
I don't go that far, but my standard test for a fairly expensive product or service is to search for THEIRNAME sucks on google. I don't always pay attention to the results I get, because some people are just always angry. However, they often give me questions to ask to be sure their complaints have been dealt with or fixed before I put my money on the line.
Going back even further though, there's a Batman where Dick hurts his arm and Batman is forced to wear colorful costumes so no one realizes Dick's arm is hurt in the same way Robin's arm is hurt (it was publicised in the paper).
One of the costumes is a black and white bulls eye. When one of the bad guys takes a shot at Batman, it hits the center of the bulls eye. Batman makes the comment then that only the center had a metal plate in it because who would shoot anything other than the target?
I too am addicted to email! I do it constantly and am even notified if emails come in! I'm also, clearly, addicted to the following:
* Using restroom * Saving, compiling, and testing incremental changes to code base * Checking to see if additional bugs have been assigned to me * Walking my dogs * Eating * Listening to "Morning Edition" * Checking weather before walking to my car
I need government sponsored action and possibly a large lawsuit!
You can't say, "Don't say you'd move" because that's the problem. The correct solution is to move. Just like a distrobution based business model is no longer viable; they need to move. Businesses have a right to do business, but there is no right to profit. There is no value-added from their distribution and it's no longer required. Their business model has gone the way of the milkman and the icehouse.
If you add that you also had a bucket filled with padlocks and an instruction manual called "Building lockboxes" I'd grant you that it was roughly equivalent, and I'd also say that'd probably be entered into evidence in a murder case.
If part of the argument (and again, without transcripts you're going on what seemed to me to be a fairly biased review of the case) rested on his ability to share the information without being detected or in our case the ability to dispose of evidence, then you'd better darn well believe that the prosecution has a right to bring in evidence that you did have that capability.
You murder someone on the street with a knife. The state has proof you had the knife. The state has witnesses you ran home with the knife. Your defense rests on the fact that they couldn't find the knife in your home.
The state looks in your basement and discovers you have a perfectly legal iron smelting furnace (work with me here). The state is justified in bringing into evidence the possibility that the reason they couldn't find the knife is because you had the capability of undetectably destroying it.
Now flip furnace with PGP, and finding the knife with email records. Not having read the transcript of the case, it's possible some of his defense rested on "well you didn't see me transmit the images anywhere". If that's the case, the state is well and justified in pointing out there's a reason they wouldn't be able to find it.
There have been 64,264 participants since the beginning of this project. 8,934 of them were active yesterday and of those, 29 were brand-new participants.
In comparison, McAfee numbers seem to be around 2 million home users and upwards of 30 million corporate licenses.
That said, if McAfee DID undertake this nefarious scheme, I'd expect it to take them upwards of 2 years to crack a 72 bit key. (Distributed.net's projected estimate is 348,018 days divided by the roughly 500 times larger base) When you factor in that the bulk of McAfee's clients are running on corporate machines, they may be able to top that rate.
(or discover it through brute force if they dare wait that long)
McAfee runs on an awful lot of enterprise networks, and tons of home users. I wonder how long brute forcing a key through distributed computing would really take. I wonder if McAfee is already using cycles for nefarious reasons. How long until McAfee becomes self aware!
Thanks for playing, but you'd only need the hacker to pony up the key once and they can distribute it. Secret key encryption is only safe if the secret key is. Even creating a random key pair for for your computer and doing a key exchange wouldn't work because it'd have to store the key somewhere to decrypt the files later.
Of course, all this is assuming there is even the slightest bit of truth in the claim of a virus.
Not when you look at the math I just presented. You can easily make the argument that I drink too much pop; my wife says that all the time. I drink almost constantly and I'm not a big fan of water. The rest of my diet is fairly balanced, so just cutting out the extra calories from pop helped me lose a good deal of weight right off the bat.
When you're talking about a source of over a thousand calories a day, it adds a substantial burden even if you eat salads the rest of the time.
Well, you still aren't quite right on the CPU and video cards, you need to be doing more than just pulling up a webpage to get the power draw. Even still, I'll grant you that you CAN come up with a scenario that would use all of that.
Your point though: A heavily modded computer can easily use 600 watts is still a stretch. It's not "easy"; it takes a pretty odd set up to pull that off. What do you, play video games on your database server?
Using this calculator, a sample system I just made up only needed 319 watts of peak power. To get that, I needed to be running the 3gig barton chip, 2 sticks of ram, 2 hard drives, a Radeon X800, sound, NIC, with 3 fans fullblast and 2 cathode tubes, and a dvd player. Keep in mind that's PEAK power required, which means all of that has to be going top speed to get there, which means something along the lines of running 3D mark while copying a dvd from one drive to the other while playing sound while downloading a file over the internet while having all your fans and lights cranked up.
Hate to break it to you, bud, but just cause you have it doesn't mean you are using it.
I never thought about diet soda before I went on weight watchers. Once I started totaling up the calories from the Mountain Dew I drive almost constantly, it become very apparent that it was a major source of my problems.
Regular (8 fl. oz) Calories (kcal) 110
x 1.5 fl. oz per can = 165 Calories x 3 cans per work day = 495 Calories
+ ( 32 fl. oz per glass x 2 meals a day)
= 1375 Calories in the average work day
I now drink Diet Coke (which I did, of course, just for the taste of it anyway) and Dt. Mtn Dew exclusively and drink water or unsweet tea if neither choice is available
Dear god yes. And you will refuse to watch live TV ever again.
These devices change how you watch TV entirely. I only watch the shows I like, even shows I kinda like, and I watch them whenever I feel like it. I used to never watch TV because I get bored with the shows easily. Now I watch TV and fast forward through the parts that are boring. (Hint: If you watch ST:TNG you can get all the show in 30 minutes if you skip any scene involving Deanna Troi talking about people's feelings).
I've used mine for about a year now and it's completely ingrained. While visiting my inlaws, the reflex to delete a show after it's over resulted in me turning on their DVD player several times without thinking about it.
Everytime a story like this comes out, the MythTV faithful sprout up, but it's hard not and a list of requirements like that shows why:
MythTv already does:
# Store music, home movies, recorded TV shows, digital photos # Play back all these media seamlessly # Support a wide variety of audio and video codecs # Play back DVD movies, and look as good as or better than a DVD player # Have a simple GUI that any family member can use # Serve this media up to other client machines on the home network # Be able to handle HD music and movie formats, both present and future, with minimal upgrades (okay, maybe we're reaching a bit on this one)
This one is hardware dependent for any OS: # Run quietly enough so that its fan noise doesn't interfere with the enjoyment of the content it's serving up
I have no experience with this one:
# Go in and out of sleep states with no difficulty
Which only leaves these two:
# Be rock-solid stable 24/7
Frankly speaking, MythTV isn't TiVO, and your mileage may vary. My current uptime is 18 days on my mythtv box. For my wife, a MythTV crash (frontend or backend, she can't tell) results in a computer reboot to bring it back up for her because she's willing to hit the power button but not willing to learn to restart it.
# Support the playback of DRM-encoded purchased/rented movies and music
For any copy protection there is a way to beat it, but what you need is specific to the system. For things like DVDs and Apple's Fairplay the solutions are known and common. For things like downloaded movie rentals, I don't know of any cracks for them, so this could conceivably be an issue.

If you believe the paypal sucks people, that essentially IS PayPal's system.

Possibly, or is that "damage" in the sense of "music theft". Used in a sentence here:
He exposed how inadequate our systems are and upgrading them cost $1 billion dollars; therefore he did $1 billion dollars worth of damage.
You mean like "for the originating site only"
Bad as in "I'll take 'Things that happen after lights out in Prison' for 1000 Alex".

sounds too much like "it got there, but in reality nothing much happened because of that".
Sounds a lot like French history to me.

Reading the article, it's not clear.

And you honestly run 3USB Devices, 8 hard drives, and two video cards at the same time, while reading (or writing) from both dvd players?
Maybe if you are a full time music ripper. Notice though, I didn't say it was impossible, just highly unlikely.
How on EARTH do you run 17 fans? Do you honestly believe you need them?
Have a look here.
Deliberate overkill may be your style, but there are probably better ways to accomplish what you are looking for.
You must be out of touch if you think the vast majority of people use that much power all the time.

MythTV with a PCHDTV card'll do you just fine.
