I wonder what the event would have looked like in the tunnel when that helium escaped. I'm sure things got pretty frosty in that section of the tunnel. Does anyone have photos of the damage?
Aren't there differences between a prepaid card and a regular credit card? Couldn't CL filter cards so that PrePaid cards won't work? Couldn't they require the name on the card, security ###'s and expiration dates?
I believe there are more effective means of disrupting human trafficking and exploitation of children.
Yeah I was really hoping to get the Android Phone from T-Mobile and really was trying to put my support behind it but the failings persuaded me to jump on the HTC Shadow instead. I really do need mobile Outlook w/ activesync for work, and when the HTC Shadow promotion came out, I called up T-Mobile and am getting the phone for $131 after $50 rebate, as well as a free large capacity battery.

NexentaStor is a virtual NAS that uses zfs to provide almost unlimited storage capacity. Check it out- it provides a good alternative to proprietary hardware/NAS systems.
The thing did look pretty cumbersome and slow, but imagine when these are fast, effective and can act more human. I can imagine having 10 of these lined up against a wall of the office, then come online and begin working. It's more effective than an online meeting me thinks. I would jump in one, go check out a noisy/cold data center, use a robotic arm to push a power button, or insert a usb thumbdrive and flash a bios from my cushy armchair and a laptop.
The person offshore is able to remotely control the robot and "walk around" the other office, teleconferencing, joining discussions, hang out by the water cooler etc. I think it's a pretty cool idea. Watch the video.
I'll assume the guy was using the same IP address to create the accounts. I wonder why the hosts don't have some kind of software to look for IP's that open multiple accounts?
I never thought of my position that way but it's true. And when you have 1000 users who call at any moment with a mini-disaster, and you have to tell them somehow that they cannot get their data back it's pretty stressful. It seems that no matter how hard you try to provide redundancy, shit happens
Nexentastor is a free virtual machine that utilizes zfs and allows you to run iscsi/nfs targets lickedy-split quick. They're not quite at ver 1.0 yet though.
This actually looks like something I could use. I am considering building a mock up of a data center in my condo. The big problems are lack of space, noise, heat, and power. I'd be interested to know the price of one with minimal specs. I'd like to put 6 of these in my closet, and have one run as a NAS, and the other as routers, firewalls, and servers. If they are under $500 I would highly consider them. Putting a real 19" rack in the closet with real 1u or 2u servers is just amazingly hot and noisy. But 6 of these stacked on top of each other with a fan-less switch (anyone know of a good one?) seems like a good option.
Why is it that people will pay thousands of dollars for a pet, over the internet, without actually visiting the pet? I mean, we found the most awesome dog at the local shelter; there are plenty of "save the breed" outfits that will get you the breed you want. And are men simply the victims of their partner saying "its sooooo cute!" and they gladly open their wallet and wire the money?
Overall I think the pet industry is aberrant and should be governed by the CDC.
If you RTFA you would know that the times can be anywhere from seconds to minutes, but that if you rapidly cool them with an inverted air duster, you can keep the info retained in the chips for 10 minutes or so. I you use some liquid nitrogen, even longer. Requires that you "cut" power to the computer. So I guess that means for a laptop, pulling the battery first, then pulling the plug, spraying the chips with liquid cool, then plopping them into another machine and booting to an evil OS that will read the contents of the memory. I wonder if even TrueCrypt's keyfile function is even thwarted. I mean even if they get your encryption passphrase, wouldn't they still need the keyfile to mount the partition? And how would they know the location of a hidden partition? Also, if someone has physical access to the computer, then there is no security. I mean why not just plop in a keylogger, or set up a hidden webcam to shoulder-surf?
So essentially the article is stating: "In order to find a wormhole, conduct and experiment looking for a visible signature in the cosmos, similar to the lensing of light." The lensing of light, for example, around the bullet cluster, produces an effect where galaxies behind the cluster appear crescent-shaped. So if one were to search for the signature of a wormhole, one would look for a similar signature: A circular corona of light similar to a full eclipse of the moon, with light in the center. Seems like a viable enough experiment and makes sense to me. You get right on that.
These are nice. I think as soon as the troops, especially in Afghanistan, receive contact from the enemy, they should launch these drones. There has to be a better way to locate enemy mortar teams and small arms fire. For example, if firebases can get even a good estimation of where mortar fire is coming from, launch a couple of these, track down the source and call in the air power! It would be great to have IR sensors on them as well to locate heat signatures as well.
Forget using these things for surveillance, if we really want to get rid of insurgents, just annoy the fuck out of them with these bugs. Send a swarm of these heat/smell seekers into a town and watch as the muj's throw down their arms just to keep the little buggers out of their eyes, ears, nose, mouth and "other" orifices.
Yeah I mean if I was going to send a message to outer space it would be of a sexual nature like: "We are looking for the ultimate orgasm." or "Send us your women with the big jugs." Forget this "we come in peace" crap.
I had high hopes for this game and the TV ad made it look like an awesome game. I was ready to buy. But then I read one review and decided against it. Too bad, because the premise and story sounds awesome. Hopefully someone will do it right soon. I think there is still a huge audience out there looking for a game with this theme. With organic aliens so big, menacing, and mutating that you wet your pants. And a few advanced weapons so powerful that using them depletes your energy. It would be fun to have a few aliens to battle that cling onto you like a lamprey and suck your face until you have time to pull out your knife and slice them off. I think if a shop did it right, the game would be a blast to produce - alien life allows for such creativity.
...it is the earth that is moving underneath them. Perhaps there is enough of a lift by a small mud sheet that the rotational forces of the earth allow the rocks to slide on top.
Sounds neat because although the end goal is to process information at the speed of light, there are situations where light would need to be slowed down. Need to boot up your PC? Hit the light switch! Want to watch the OS compile? Use the dimmer switch!

Even so, if a contractor is given access to classified info, the problem is that info is finding its way onto internet connected machines.

Bad Religion - Henchman
stranded
in a life in which your struggle for acceptance
is a never-ending chore
upbraided
for your actions past and present and rewarded for ideas
of the future's bright open door
the henchman
is the human analogue of the suffering multitudes
who like good dogs sit and lick for their reward
so what good advice have I got for you
to insure against your likely metamorphosis into this reprobate?
don't be a henchman!
stand on your laurels
do what no one else does
praise the good of other men for good man's sake
and when everyone else in the world follows your lead
(although a cold day in hell it will surely be)
that's when the entire world shall live in harmony
