"A correct accounting for the deformation of the silica filament in the reported experiments would have required a complete balancing of the momenta" he said.
I just watched it, and I don't understand how you can call that genius. (If you mean genius humor.)
It's just so la-la... Genius humor is not the "he he he he" kind, and also not the belly-laugh kind. It's the kind where you are in one of two states: Either you are very excited, with a big smile, and nearly can't sit on your seat (pre-punchline), or you're like "Help, I can't breathe! HA HA HA HA HA Help!", while feeling the urge to literally roll on the floor, laughing (post-punchline). And I can hardly imagine that reaction from this video.:)
The problem here is double-standard-thinking. If there is nobody in charge of combating it, there also is nobody in charge for protecting it.
Imagine the botnet being spread over the world, with one central, i don't know... irc-server(?) to control them, being officially on some remote island. and someone connecting to that server to send tho commands. Now if you infect that remote server, they can't attack you, as much as they can't attack the original person controlling it. Then "the irc-server" goes and kills the whole botnet (in a clean way).
Now to cause you problems, not only would someone have attack you for this the same way as you attacked the original "owner" of the botnet, but also could he only attack that irc-server or your system in your country. So if nobody can find that system, that person could not sue you.
I hope this all makes sense. I only want to say, that it is illegal to attack someone in your country. But not if it's a remote non-nato island, under no protection. At least that's how I imagine it is. Of course this is much more true, if you're a government. (But then, why not just send an agent or let a straw man shoot a rocket. *whoops*)
none of things lead me to want those involved to die horrific deaths, instead I want all those involved to suffer to the maximum extent possible under the law...
How is that less bad? Or was this the point?;)
If not, think of this: If you're dead, you don't care for anything at all anymore. You're gone. Death only feels bad for a very short time. Then the question becomes like asking what time it was before time. Therefore, if you really want to punish someone, you make them wish they would die, but you completely remove their possibility to die.
Of course then you're an even more cruel bastard than he ever could be (and deserve the same, but I won't punish you, because I am not a cruel bastard).
SCO is not selling its main core business and people. The main core and people (that's: SCO) are separating themselves from the sinking ship of McBride and his obsessive lawsuit disorder.
That's the problem with leaders with a strong reality: When they're wrong, it takes a looong time for people to realize this and move away. And it takes an even longer time, for them to realize it themselves. This is, because such a strong self-induced confidence has the risk of becoming delusional. A delusion can only exist for that long, if the person has built a very rigid and interconnected system of values, where everything depends on everything else. So he can't pull that one thing, without destroying everything else in the process, causing his whole reality to break down. A state that equivalent to death for the human mind. Even followers can suffer from this effect.
McBride now has a strong neurosis, forcing him to go 'till the very end... unless someone offers him a way out, that lets him keep his reality. Or to be more exact: His self-acceptance of being good and right in what he does and did. It's either that, or a deathlike experience.
If anyone who knows him personally reads this: Give him that way out. Offer him a way, that lets him go up in self-respect when follows it. And you will see this whole obsession, all the lawsuits, and his whole way of acting go away in a blink of an eye. He will suddenly be Ok with saying that all what he did was not the best thing to do. But he will have a reason that this is Ok for him anyway.
By any means: Do not put more pressure upon him. He will only fight harder. Remember: His other choice is death(like). So he will oppose you up to that level. Ok... except if you're really evil and actually want that to happen.;) But then, how would you still be better than him??
P.S.: Slashdot, please fix your UTF-8 support! I have phi on my keyboard, but your system ignores it. And I also tried φ, which did not work either.
As far as I know, this information is wrong. SATA is completely hot-pluggable, and was defined as such. Because of this, eSATA is of course hot-pluggable too.
Well. The problem is the little "up to" before the bandwidth number. So in fact, they could give you one bit a month, and be ok with it. What they really should sell is a minimum guaranteed bandwidth. And as soon as someone comes with an ad, saying that they are the only ones, guaranteeing a minimum bandwidth above 0 kb/s (hinting, that with the others, you could end up with nothing for your money), this will change. It only needs a little company with a good marketing department.
So if you know such a company: Tell them to advertise this way. Tell them to "hint" (you know... the way they always say but not say something in ads), that the others give you nothing, guarantee you nothing, and wanna rape you in the ass with their contracts, and think of the children and all that!;) It's unfair. It's evil. But hey, why should the big companies be the only one being evil and unfair. Let's fight them with their own weapons.:D
It's not worth it to use until these devices become mainstream, or have reached a pricepoint where they can become so easily. Then they will rush to do so.
Yeah. The same stupid argument, that's used all the time. It's not worth to create games for 3d-glasses, until they become mainstream. And it's not worth to create 3d-glasses, until there are enough games for it. How stupid are those arguments?
In reality, there only ever will be 3d-glasses and games using them, when someone creates them anyway. No matter if they are actually needed right now. For example: It's pretty easy to create a game that just watches out not to create problems with 3d-glasses that behave as if there were two screens. As long as there aren't, I would not cost the game developer much, if anything, be backwards compatible to one-screen systems, and they could put a nice sticker on the box, saying "compatible with 3d-glasses". Wait until one or two big engines (like the unreal engine) support this, and a ton of following games will support it.
Next you know, some Taiwanese company throws cheap glasses for specific cards on the market. nVidia smells the cash and creates them too. And from then, it works.
Of course, now, nVidia went the hard way, and created the glasses first. I just hope they work with many games...
Your comment uses something that he never said (slightly darker), to base your whole argumentation off of it.
The point of this whole thread was, that you can reduce light pollution without reducing brightness on the street at all. in fact, mirroring the light back to the ground instead of losing it to the sky, will make for more efficient lights. So just installing mirrors will brighten the streets! Installing lamps that are darker by the same amount, that they gain by reflecting everything to the streets, will make them exactly as bright as the old lights, while saving energy.
That's why some grand-parent post called it a win-win. But you could not afford not to ignore that, could you? Or else your whole argumentation, and with that, your whole point of view, would collapse like a house of cards. And that you just could not accept.
Of course DRM-freeness is only true for new tracks. It sure sucks that they did not give you a way to convert the files on your computer. But the store itself is not your computer. My argument still is true.
No. I wonder why nobody has mentioned the most simple method:
Since my logins are on websites, I use Firefox's password manager. With a master password that encrypts the stuff properly, this is completely ok for most usage. Only my banking and main e-mail logins are not in there. And I don't buy in online shops that require logins.
Producers is not enough. A slave is a producer too. But hey. Producer or consumer. It's both ok with the world bank, as long as they can keep them down. Why ship slaves here, feed them and give them shelter? It's too expensive. There they work and live for even less. It's perfect! </sarcasm>
Yeah. Call me a troll. But I'm right anyway. And you know it. You also - deep inside you - know, that this moderation was not yours, but that of your neurosis that helps you ignore that very problem.
Don't worry. To the officials, it's "this Linux thing" if it's not Windows and not MacOS X.
And the ability to fit into everything is, I think, the point of Linux: The freedom to change it to your needs goes so far today, that Linux runs on the smallest handhelds and appliances, and on the biggest servers and supercomputers. In some way, there is no "Linux". There is just a set of kernels, userland toolkits, GUI desktops, and so on. Combined, they result in some Linux or BSD distribution... or something in between, or something different (like MacOS X).
Windows on the other hand, is rigid.
Please hand in your geek card, for not knowing this.;)
Hey, your sig is outdated. In Germany, you can now easily get 10, 16, and even 20 Mbps. In my city you can also get 100 Mbps for certain areas (constantly growing).
Maybe you brush too much. Too much brushing grinds off the outer protective layer of your teeth. Just as wrong flossing can make you gum susceptible for infections.

True story: a friend of mine went in for a routine breast exam
You have friends with breasts? Naaahh....
Most likely manboobs! *ducks*
Am I right in understanding that
"A correct accounting for the deformation of the silica filament in the reported experiments would have required a complete balancing of the momenta" he said.
this makes the whole experiment worthless?
No. I actually have no idea of what he's talking, because I have nearly no knowledge of electrical engineering. (I'm a software guy.)
I just recognized that you could combine those two equivalents that he wrote, and wanted to find out if I were right about EE at least once in life. ;)
And sounds like your some English refreshment course.
since with gas you're getting 100% of the avalible[sic] heat from the fuel
No, you're not. Because you forgot the energy that you need to transport it. (Eg. pump power.) What do you think those pumps run on? ;)
I just watched it, and I don't understand how you can call that genius. (If you mean genius humor.)
It's just so la-la... Genius humor is not the "he he he he" kind, and also not the belly-laugh kind. :)

Or is this wrong? And if yes, why?

My guess is that you should fix your OS. :)
... when most of it is copypasta of parts of Firefox code, with an adapter to attach it to the WebKit document interface.
... non-ergonomic.
I'm sorry, but we live in two-thousand-fuckin'-nine! Give me a real keyboard, or at least the closest affordable thing. (Now unfortunately defunct.):

And on the negative side, there would be no alternative to the notoriously bad interface design of Microsoft and those imitating them.
I just hope I can finish my current projects quickly and help fix this mess...
