"Megawatt Days" would be a logical expansion of this rate from home level to power plant level.
Spoken like a true clueless non-scientist know it all. "Megawatt day" is not the same as "megawatt per day," nor is either related to Earth Day, although they sound a lot alike too, which is apparently good enough for you. People who are scientists care about precise definitions because in the non-goo-goo, non-liberal-arts, non-deceitful-business-snake, have-to-actually-make-things-work world, getting a decimal place wrong can be the difference between success and failure.
Hmm, modded down as flamebait? Have you learned your lesson? Never say anything critical about Linux at Slashdot, especially if it contains a kernel of truth (no pun intended). Linux is perfect and cannot be criticized, especially mocked or made fun of. You fool!
here's a difference between selecting people at random and having a machine say "A BOMB! A BOMB! THIS GUY HAS A BOMB!".
Nice red herring argument. Or is it a straw man? The device does not say "This guy has a bomb." The device says, "This man very likely has chemicals with him consistent with a bomb. We should look very hard at him." Why shoot him 9 times?
I agree, I hate web designers who cannot figure a way to make HTML work, so they require me to use a different browser. It sounds like sweet revenge until you realize you're only hurting your customers and visitors.
Security expert at Microsoft: "delay shipping Vista! We know it's ready otherwise, and people are clamoring for it, and stock prices depend on it, but I've discovered a security hole that is very serious!"
Bill Gates: "I think you need a career change. Don't you have an assistant that says it's ready to ship as is? Let me talk to him..."
At first I thought the same thing. Bit torrent works by sharing the load across multiple computers. So why should they get my bandwidth? The fact is, that they are only getting part of the bandwidth of subscribers for this purpose. Subscribers to the service probably should agree to become seeds themselves. If nobody participates in seeding, then the system won't be any better than just straight downloads. In any case, it isn't taking bandwidth from YOU any more than any other torrent.
Clever strategy: "We want to make sure our focus groups are happy." Now, if they don't ship, it's because they care to make it perfect. If by a miracle they actually do ship on time, yeah right, then they have pulled off a miracle. Either way, they look good. Before, it was just do or die. Very effective politics, mr. Gates.
There's no reason why you can't enjoy your work as much as you enjoy the rest of your life.
There are many reasons people can't do what you suggest. Some people didn't have the ability to go to school or otherwise learn what they love. Or maybe they don't know they can do what they want. These are real obstacles.
I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that a prickly exterior is part of the necessary facade to convince people they need to be obeyed or negative consequences will results. After all, cops are there to meet out physical consequences for disobedience of the law, at least in part, and that has to be part of the understanding. You have to make it so it's not worth messing with them, or some people will. It's a balancing act. I'm not excusing bad behavior, just pointing out the obvious, I suppose.
There are assholes everywhere, but it is a well-known fact that if you put nice people in positions of absolute authority over others, they turn into tyrants. The degree to which they turn depends on the degree of authority you give them. So it is perfectly reasonable to assume that cops are bigger pricks than the rest of us. That being said, we need them and should cut them a bit of slack. Plus their jobs do require a bit of prickishness just as self defense. Still, they should get training to help reduce offense. And the big irony of this case is that filming cops with hidden cameras is exactly something I would say we need to do to reduce their bullying and miscreance.
I have a feeling that instead they'll just roll up the death vans and execute those criminals. After all, if they are defeating the firewall, they clearly are up to something sneaky and are a threat to the existing order...
But how will they know? You cannot tell if a remote host is responding to reset packets from your firewall, at least not directly. This seems like it will work.
It is somewhat strange to find conservatives so hot under the collar about the property developer issue. It is a matter of record that President George W. Bush made his millions from precisely this type of theft.
You seem to be arguing that because one person whom you consider more conservative than yourself (George Bush) "made millions from this type of theft," then other people whom you consider to be conservative cannot defensibly consider eminent domain, etc. to be wrong. Your logic is bizarre but not uncommon. Just because one person of an ideological stripe does something against his/her principles does not mean that the principle is not defensible. You are just making a cheap swipe against a broad swath of people that you consider your political enemies. I wish more political discussion were about ideas and principles as applied to actions, rather than about partisan political foolishness. This is why our founding fathers hated the idea of "factions" which are what they then called parties.
Does this help me as a consumer? Why choose to use Google's payment service? I personally would avoid it given Google's proclivity to keep all my information forever, even if I 'delete' it. This definitely smacks of a Microsoft-esque "we have to expand at all costs" boondoggle.
If a shooter wished to anonymize their weapon, perhaps they could change their barrel signature randomly. In this sense, the ammunition would become encrypted with respect to the gun from which it's fired -- police might not be able to trace it back.

No, it's 192 searches per day, or one search per 7 minutes. Seems OK.
Um, yep, that's the sentence I was mocking, all right. Thanks for repeating it. :-)
A search at versiontracker.com for virtual desktops revealed Desktop Manager, You Control Desktops, and virtue desktops
- and finally the chance to use remote desktop without paying $300 for the program.
How about OSXvnc and Chicken of the VNC?

So you'd prefer a black image with two dots so small that they are smaller than a single pixel? Come on.
He didn't say, "If you ARE your age now." He said, "If you WERE..." The point was, he *is* but he *wasn't*. Pay attention.

Duh, they ASK the subject to let them know when they feel something looks familiar.

I hope this means they make Yahoo Instant Messenger open source! LOL, good luck, I know.
Looks like it's time for Google to start making prospective students sign non-disclosure agreements...
Holy crap, it says 8cm, big deal. The GP is still right -- what can orbit around an 8cm ball of tungsten? Wow. The article doesn't say.

"paving the way" means, makes an easy path for travel. This just solves one difficulty out of many. The hype on Slashdot is relentless.
