Proactive in this case means "before a cracker finds the bugs and exploits them" and not "before they were created to begin with". So it depends on what their point of view was when they wrote it as to whether or not they used the word correctly.
The U.S. Government defines December 25 as Christmas so that means you can too. Oh and what do you know, that's mixing church and state, oh what ever shall we do. Get over it.
Lockheed Martin also is involved in the Information Technology sector. The LMIT division of Lockheed Martin does a lot of consulting for the gov't (myself being a subcontractor on multiple projects with some LMIT employees). There is also the LMIS (Information Services) division. Not being an LM employee I do not know the differences between the 2 divisions but I do believe they are minor. In any case, both divisions provide consulting services to the gov't in the information technology sector.
I consider the equation relating to the rest of his research in the way that he dealt with speeds and times in relation to the speed of light and his equation basically states that the faster an object is traveling the more energy it will take to speed it up. By the time the object is nearing the speed of light it would take an astronomical amount of energy to accelerate it even more. In theory it would take an infinite amount of energy to get up to the speed of light. Basically his famous equation and his research both deal with light travel and its possibility/feasibility.
Discussion of STDs couched in terms of Christian morality
Do you have proof to the contrary? STDs and other diseases appear out of no where. They have to be created from something, especially those that are NOT similar in genetic structure from other pre-existing diseases. That "something" could be a higher power for all you know. By the way, this article just proves that scientists don't know everything they think they know, even about things that can be viewed *right now*, let alone things that occurred supposedly 5 billion or even 200 million years ago. If they can't get the shape of our galaxy right when they can see it right now then what confidence should we have in them concerning things that can't be directly viewed anymore?
Your link to hundreds of vulnerabilities discovered in Linux is FUD. That listing is not just of Linux. It is a listing of all the applications from the WHOLE DISTRIBUTION that are affected. In a way people running a Linux distribution are glad to see that many bugs because you wouldn't even come close to seeing that many with WIndows because Microsoft doesn't bundle Windows with anything that is of value (monopoly issues aside). In general the more apps you include the more the bugs you are likely to see. If Windows included all those things you would possibly see the same size list, possibly even a bigger one. As it is you have to view multiple lists from MS before you can make a fair comparison. That list included bugs for email apps, development libraries, file sharing apps, databases, IM clients, network utilities, and a whole host of other applications. Next time you want to make a comparison try doing it with apples and apples next time. What list do I look at to see vulnerabilities in Visual Studio, Office, SQL Server, etc. ?
Microsoft has a nice history of dumping products, or "ending support" as they call it.
I am by no means an MS fan but they do give you plenty of time before a product reaches its EOL support period. They have every right to do this and many companies do the same thing. After supporting a product for 5-10 years it's time to move on to bigger and better things so that users can migrate to the same bigger and better things (and not necessarily just so MS can get money but so that the end user is more secure).
The point is that for a few week's time period 7pm will occur sooner than it normally would. We are sync'ing our time reference up with the rotation/axis offset of the earth more than we already have with DST. By changing our time reference to coincide more with the earth's axis change during the summer we align our more productive hours during the hours of the day that provide sunlight. You can still get up at the crack of dawn but with DST there is a better chance that a lot of other people will do the same and when the majority of things can be done by the majority of people during natural daylight hours an energy savings can occur.
Without DST you could get up at the crack of down but due to what time we have set our clocks in relation to what the earth is doing not everyone would agree to get up at the same time as you do which may not help you out if you want to get up early and get to the bank just because it is daylight. The bank would go on our time, not the point at which the earth rotates into the sunlight. I'm rambling on now and probably not making much sense but suffice it to say that DST aligns our time reference to what the earth is actually doing since amount of sunlight we get changes throughout the year. By aligning our time up with earth's rotation we can do most of our work during the daylight and use less energy.
Who says Google maps is more popular than Google Earth? Since I run WIndows I prefer Google Earth because it provides many more features than the regular maps do. I have more freedom to view the same data set using Google Earth than I do with the maps because I can rotate around the maps and pan the view down to the earth's surface to see the horizon instead of always having the earth in front of me. As a result of that I can see the relief of the terrain as well. As long as you have WIndows Google Earth is much better.
For reference, the jets mentioned are depicted in the picture that is at the top of the article. The jets are oriented directly opposite of each other. The x-rays are capable of escaping the black hole's gravity due to 1) actually being accelerated away from the black hole and 2) being created outside of the black hole and thus have a chance of escaping to begin with.
Discovery had a special that aired tonight called "Hiroshima" and it ended up being a pretty good show. I ended up recording it using ATI software and will be putting it onto DVD with menus like I do for other special shows that are aired (like for when the tsunami specials were aired a few months ago).
Don't forget the 3DO from Panasonic at $699 (maybe even $799) and it took a while before Sanyo came out with their version for around $400-500 I think. The SNES was $199 was it not?

What happens when I spoof the server the player is reporting to, and it never actually reports home?
What about just not plugging it into whatever network it needs to make its communication happen?
You play video games with your wife? I think you have forgotten what the female gender is for. Take a look at your priorities again.

With X10, privacy is obselete! (TM)
So is proper spelling.

You are buying the wrong DVDs. Get the ones from a small company named Vivid; those will bring you lots of joy.
and weak nuclear (not Nukular; bite me, George) forces propogate
It's propagate (not propogate; bite me, justanyone)...
"Yup, that's an 'oops', they said it was a law and now it ain't. I guess evolution might not really be true
It isn't true but that's beyond the scope of this article.

Not really. Poincare did do a lot of the interesting math, following on from Lotentz,...
That would be Lorentz, not Lotentz, as in the Lorentz attractors. http://www.allrite.com.au/science/science/sa1.htm
I never really fully got the ablative
I never really fully got this comment.

in Linux Journal Reuven Lerner will write an article talking about Ruby on Rails...for now (the current issue) he gave an introduction to Ruby itself.
IANAL, but I slept in a Days Inn Express.
You are nothing until you sleep in a Holiday Inn Express.

Of course there are always going to be asshats, internet trolls, and other fuckwads who spoil a good thing be[sic] being dicks.
Just like you what do to the English language.
The same can be said for the liberals/progressives who think that homosexuality and evolution should be taught in schools. They are the extremes.
That includes not buying animals from breeders but from the local animal shelter instead.
