I don't like the way the US/Israel is handling this situation. First of all attacking the computers of an operating nucreal power plant is quite dangerous as it might cause a meltdown if they don't act fast enough, and if there is an explosion or fire then the radioactive debris can be swept by the wind and blow into the face of the israelis and neighboring countries.
You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Wild speculation form armchair physicists like you is the reason the US is so far behind other developed countries in nuclear power. You should also proofread your posts if you want to gain credibility.
I agree with parent. Although, since I started coding using Objective-C naming conventions (even in other languages), I've found that many comments are unnecessary. When you have a method called: putTextPaneFromSearchBoxInMainNSView(TextPane * textPane, NSView * primaryView) it's pretty clear what it means. I don't think many python programmers have learned that style yet, thus you see the problems with the code. (My experience, YMMV)
As someone who had to deal with the same problem for awhile (before I got a true static IP with my business account), I can tell you that most ISPs will use a relay server for any mail that you wish to send. Generally, you just put a URL, username, and password into your SMTP settings and again you can send mail.
The method has the added bonus that, if your netblock is not marked for static IPs, spamhaus and other mail services won't blacklist your server. Talk to your ISP about what relay settings your mail service should have.
Not even the addition of James Cameron to David Fincher's Heavy Metal remake has stopped its begging-bowl passage from studio to studio;
I'm sorry, but Heavy Metal's plot is that a guy saves a girl in a few different dimensions and gets sexual favors as a result. Oh, and the dimensional thing was caused by this evil orb. That might qualify for a porno, but not for a Hollywood movie.
Funny mods don't give you karma, which is possibly what the moderator wanted to do.
There was a quote along the lines of, "You get karma for being smart, not for being a smart-ass," (cmdrtaco) in some of the/. literature. Modding something all funny with a couple of trolls squeezed in there is a great way to lower someone's karma, because you can have a +5 funny comment with, say, 10 troll moderations. Troll Mod = lose karma, funny mod = no change
The idea that a group should "hold on to the information for a better time" is really not in the public's interest
Tell that to the people from Wikileaks. I've been looking forward to the leaks on US banks, but I haven't seen them yet.
If you have the news in your hand, you report/divulge it ASAP. If the timing sucks, well, then it sucks.
Thinking of reporting in "black or white" terms, as you are proposing, fails to take into account the subtleties of human communication. The world has more than 10 options. (Yeah, I know. I must be new here.)
This is Slashdot, so Microsoft is the evil, wealthy corporation in collusion with the government, and Google is the poor, downtrodden, Linux-using upstart who didn't have a fair shot, even though they're a multi-billion dollar advertising company with controversial ties to the administration and investigations around the world over their "accidental" neighborhood data collection.
But, yeah. "Micro$oft" and all that.
You forgot to mention how evil and proprietary Apple is. That needs to get worked in there somehow:-)
You know, back in the day, before people were so polarized, my sig read: "I learned, from a trusted source, that Steve Jobs likes avocado." I think that sums up things here pretty well.
That's actually a terrible idea. Limiting the current through the hooks would still result in lots power being wasted, just not enough to crash the device. Over time this will cause the battery to discharge completely, which results in the owner charging it, which leads to greatly reduced battery lifetime.
I feel compelled to reply to this post, because with modern power distribution methods, it is simply incorrect.
On board power systems on laptops, idevices, kindles, etc. typically have a power distribution chip on their batteries. The chip senses what the resistance outside the battery's terminals is (as in an ohm-meter), and adjusts a special type of power regulator to match the specification that is coded inside the power distribution chip.
Thus, a good product will turn off its outputs if it senses a short circuit. Adding the extra circuitry costs pennies for mass-produced units like Kindles, since the power sensing and distribution circuit can be implemented on a single chip.
It's a surprise that these people are just a bunch of script kiddies? The phrase "useful idiots" comes to mind: these knuckleheads will take the fall, giving the media and legal system someone to chew on while those with some modicum of coding skill avoid attention. I bet it wouldn't take a lot to ID the majority. Their safely is really in numbers, which isn't much safety at all.
It's not "Script Kiddies" on 4chan. It's "Script Kitties":-)
If my understanding of Osmosis is correct - George won't be able to take the skill of 1 actor and spread it throughout the Dead Actors. Dead people can't GET any better at acting, unless they are playing the role of zombie.
THIS!!! The point is so important, I'm giving up a bunch of mod points to make this post.
Outlets like Fox News and MSNBC are NOT truly in the business of providing news. They provide entertainment.
People wonder why Fox news is so successful. It has nothing to do with the news and everything to do with them providing *entertainment* to their (mostly) conservative audience.
Fox realized that you could take the radio talk show concept of, say, a Rush Limbaugh, and adapt it to TV, thereby making tons of money.
People need to understand that this is the reason why Fox news IS, and I will point it out, whenever possible, in the future.
There are digital signal processors in production for years which go up to 333MHz, like ADI SHARCs. BMW had one in their E70 X5 audio system. I am sure there are more examples.
I will check at work tomorrow but I am sure there are also higher speed C out there.
The device in the article is a microcontroller that runs at 125MHz. While there is research to merge the two functions, DSP processors and microcontrollers are not generally considered to be in the same product category, so unless there's another microcontroller out there that beats this one, the article is correct.
Why is parent +5 insightful? Being jealous of people with lots of money is not reason to mod this crap up.
Look at it this way: These people took advantage of someone who had, obviously, some form of mental illness. Add to that he's technologically illiterate, and things don't look so good.
Here's what the parent should have said:
Trust fund baby gets taken to the cleaners by Bernie Madoff. The only reaction I can think worthy of this heinous act is... Well, I'm glad I got to vicariously stick it to "The Man."
The parent poster needs medication as much as the victim.
Firewire would be a better option for this kind of experiment because it has a higher voltage and current per cord.
Firewire is 12V and generally can supply 1A pretty easily to a connected device. A firewire heater would have been much better from an efficiency standpoint, in terms of number of cords and the amount of power being used per unit area.
I agree, but exhibit the chart and tell us if the companies with the most lawsuits are trying to innovate and make better products. (I'm looking at you Nokia and Kodak)
Assanage is a terrible leader for Wikileaks. I have said it before, and I will say it again: Wikileaks is an important organization and we cannot allow Assenage's ego to drive the entire project.
I've been modded "-1 Censored" a few times because I've stated a similar viewpoint as the GP. Took away my moderator points:-P
If the partisans think they are doing free expression a favor by modding down valid, insightful posts, they need to stop drinking the kool-aid and realize that censorship is not a valid response for someone stating their honest opinion.
I go to French conversation table at our local university, and I was struck by this event:
A young man said, "I'm going to move to Europe when I graduate. I don't like all the racism in the United States... I'm going to move to France where there's no racism."
*facepalm*
Does anyone in the US actually stop to think about what people in other countries are going through, or do we all just sit and complain about our situation from our perceived moral high ground, not realizing just how much we take for granted?

Is six minutes good or bad? How long does it take with other phones?
Six minutes is slightly over average, but I imagine the time reduces with larger screens such as the one on the iPad.

I think most people would agree that at least 60-70% of men are douches. Just sayin'...
It's entertainment not politics.
There's a difference?

Sometimes I like raisins, usually inside a cookie. Of course, in French raisin means grape, so you could also somehow be referring to wine.
Or maybe you meant "raison d'être."
For the record, I'm fine with either interpretation.
