I have started to notice this as well, mostly it is with my Travian web game. Looks like all my network traffic get these connection resets. I noticed yesterday that I could not connect to my servers on my other online game Shattered Galaxy. It took me several minutes and several attempts before I could connect with the KRU servers. If I used google more frequently I would notice it there more often, as it is I only noticed it a few times.

The interest is in seeing what kind of policies and scientific boards they will set up. The Bush policies of putting corporate managers on Science Councils, re-writing scientific papers and presentations, hiding scientific facts, discouraging education that promotes critical thinking is nose diving the US into technical ignorance. What is the % of foreign born and educated scientists in any research company in the US? From my personal experience it is the majority. US policy has been such that we no longer produce or retain sufficient scientists to keep up with the rate technical innovation. The US technology is no longer even keeping up with Japan and South Korea even with its size and technical inertia.

PC gaming is not dead, and won't die. There are currently 2 types of gamers, those willing to spend $300-$500 on a console $60-$90 a game and those who plunk down $500-$10,000 on a PC system. Consoles are also getting keyboards and turning into PC's. What most of the business and political world seems to misunderstand but Nintendo figured out is that the gamers that spend the most money on games and game systems are Adults. Adults are willing to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on a game system if they think the entertainment value is there. PC gaming won't die off as PC's are becoming ubiquitous in a home environment, throwing in a game on a system you already own is cheaper than buying a new console.
Due to the politics of the religious right in the US, NASA is not allowed to spend money on finding Extra solar planets that may harbor life. Hopefully Plato will do so, or the Chinese will be the first to make contact or discover alien lifeforms.
I usually save in the default openoffice format, if I have to send it to work export it into MS format and send it in as the office is based on MS products.
Think in terms of the police officer who is responding to the situation. He is going into a situation that he is told will be lethally dangerous (drugs and weapons mentioned). He is responding to a call for help, (gunshot victim) trying to get there fast enough to save a life even if it is that of a drug user. Emergency situation, no time to think or plan, he has to get there fast and rely on his training and his fellow police officers to insure that he gets to go home to his wife and kids later.
This is not the only way to point out the flaw to the police. If he was afraid of being prosecuted for finding the breach, he could have just as easily used anonymous proxies to send the information to police, government officials and the press. At the very least instead of sending the SWAT officers out he could have just left them a warning on the 911 system itself. He did it for kicks and put peoples lives in danger.
This should not be news to any support organization. If you have a satisfied customer, you will not hear much of anything, they would be too busy playing. If you have a pissed off customer who paid for something they will broadcast their complaints on every platform that will hear them. You will not hear from your happy customer, but will hear from your unhappy one everyday, and will find that they are screaming all over the internet as well as in your ear about the issues they are having.
Data centers can be in strange locations, before the advent of data centers companies just put their computers anywhere. Two strange locations I know, a closet in the womens bathroom at a company and a closet in the another companies machine shop. One had access issues, the other had massive metal dust issues. One large company for some strange reason put all their printers in their computer room, talk about paper dust issues. One other one I remember was under the companies staircase.
I have been reading about the Amazing Randi and all that he has done for a few years, what surprised me was finding out that Johnny Carson was a skeptic and very involved in the skeptics movement. Scientists are human and just as gullible as everyone else.
Yes, falling asleep on the job is one half of the equation, working 12-18 hour days or being on call 24/7 is the other side of the equation. I was at EBay once and saw people with sleeping bags under their desks as well as watched a father singing a lullaby's to his kid over the phone because something blew up and work needed to be done.
Anyone telemarketer or charity who calls me loses any chance business with me. I hang up take note of who called and never do business with them again.
I have Book 11 of the WOT, I have only got to about 100 pages. The first 4 books were the best, after that it dragged for a bit, some of the characters seemed to be stuck in a rut doing the same things repeatedly. I hope a good author completes the novel using RJ's notes, the WOT is a long journey through the story land RJ created, it has it's ups and its downs, like any long journey it gets tedious, but I would like to see the journey come to a proper close. Robert Jordan, you will be missed.
Article says he was released with apologies once someone with some knowledge of what Tor was and did showed up. That he was arrested in the first place, just shows the lack of computer skills in that portion or the German Police. Hopefully they have taken steps to correct what led to his arrest. This is happening all too often as police departments all over are lacking basic knowledge of many of the modern technologies, but they go off and arrest people based of the mistaken belief that they know what they are doing.

If that were actually the case, a lot of us would die from Cyanide processing when we eat a single almond.
The design would be for a base station or a drone target. With a base station you bounce the light between the base station and the spacecraft and the resultant thrust pushes the two apart. The lazing cavity is the space between the space station and the spacecraft. You use conventional fuel and thrusters to keep the space station in place. With a drone target, you drop off a mirror in space, it has enough smarts and thrusters to keep the mirror pointed at the ship. The ship shoots its beam at the mirror and the two move apart. When the ship can no longer hit the drone's mirror, it drops off another drone. Thrust would be very low.
Read the article, there are 3 states for bits of RAM at power up.
1. Always 0
2. 50/50 flipping between 0 and 1
3. Always 1
For fingerprint use 1 and 3 and mask out the flipping bits, for Randomness mask out the consistent bits.
It may be possible that the reason for the "secrecy" is that Comcast works using neighborhood caps not individual user caps. So if a single neighborhood's internet is being badly affected by high bandwidth usage they "cap" the largest user(s) in that neighborhood and remove the largest users until the problem goes away. So if you are in a large neighborhood with lots of medium to heavy users, the heavy users get penalized. If you are in a small neighborhood with heavy users no one gets penalized.

I doubt if they really want a study done as to who is prone to violence, kids who play games all the time, ( develop problem solving skills, interpersonal relationships on the net, team play etc.. ) or kids who play out side all the time.

My friends nephew grew up playing FPS's games with his grandfather over the net. They developed a very close personal bond due to a FPS shoot em up. All kinds of people play games, if they find one killer who games, they need to look at all the other murderers out there and check their game playing time.

Actually a phone with built in GPS and linux OS is all that they need. No need for a PS3.
