Sounds like he was taking exception with the wording of the question, but it's a real issue and it affects a lot of people. Including the leaders, celebrities, and teenagers who need to know if their government is reading their email.
Meaning, no false alarms. Set the thresholds such that it doesn't go off for undetectable or even very minor quakes.
With only seconds to act, people need to feel confident in reacting without a second thought. If the alarm sounds and the teacher says "Hmmm, let's see if it's really a big one before taking cover." then it's lost some of it's usefulness.
Same with the automated stuff. It would be unfortunate to get to a point where the alarm goes off and doors roll up, gas is cut off, etc and people immediately think "Crap, not again. Now I have turn the gas back on and close the damn doors."
...the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Calling 911 because someone is making you feel bad? Calling 911 because some guy 1000 miles away wrote some words that made you feel bad?
So having all these idiot users put in 111111 made how many all those records useless? Did you ever send a memo saying "If you put in 11111111 you're wasting your time since this record won't be used by anyone, ever."?
How do you steal passwords from a computer? Login details for Facebook and bank accounts, were they saved in a Notepad file or something? I don't understand this part.
Anyone remember that room underwater in the middle of an ocean in Everquest? Had firepots around the walls and clicking any one of them would teleport you to various cities. I actually bound my guy in that room, before they disabled binding there. I quit playing EQ soon after but it was fun to jump around the world with ease.
I never knew this feature existed until I heard it was going away. I definitely need it for my wife and I.
Now that it's staying, I don't see anywhere on the site to set it up. My Account, My Queue, Friends and Community... Where is this stupid feature?
/I may be retarded.
Oh man, the Galaxy Explorer was the best! Seems like after the space sets, all the pieces started getting to specialized. Giant plates that could hardly be used to make anything other than what the instructions said.
I remember having dozens of little bins full of the hinge pieces, light bulb looking things, and space man helmets.
Geez, I didn't even know this feature was an option. I wish I had, it would have been nice to have my wife get her own queue so I didn't constantly get a copy of Desperate Housewives - Season 1 when I was expecting to watch Firefly for the 89th time.
"Short of reading in the tub, the Kindle is easier to read in more places, positions, and situations than a physical book"
I don't understand how this could be true. Seems like it would be heavier, more sensitive to water/rain/mist/fog, harder to see in bright sunlight, etc etc...
Tell me again why this is a revolution? The iPhone is a pretty cool toy, but remind me what's revolutionary about it?
Folks, Apple is a company that makes neat products. It's not a club or a religion.

Here in California, we call it "earthquake weather" when you have a real hot day out of nowhere.
Unless you're in a country where RIM let's the government read the emails.

Besides "SQL injection, phishing, malicious attachments, social engineering", what other types of realistic attacks are there?
Ditto that. My first thought on reading the headline was "What the fuck is Mechanical Turk?"
Right. Because none of us ever deal with the actual IPs. Ever.
The pics and videos are available online. I've seen them. I wish I hadn't.

I like pronouns. Him, him, him.
I hope it was all worth it for him. Sounds like there's not much of a case against him, but I have a hard time feeling any sympathy for him.
wow. I had no idea that feature was there. You learn something every day, thanks.

Hell yeah. Build it, I'll come.

That's why I ride a motorcycle. You can sit there in traffic for two hours surfing and shopping and viewing porn all you want. I'll be at home.
Of course, as soon as I get there I'll just be web surfing, shopping, and viewing porn. But at least I'll be at home.

Good times.

I'm curious how a "motorcycle" that can do 0-60mph in 3 seconds is limited to a top speed of only 75mph.

What am I missing?
Yeah, I don't get that either. And the tube the gas is in is still around.

I don't think that's true. According to their disclaimer, I'd still be counted and I haven't paid or played in a couple years.
