You'd be surprised what happens at 8pm and later. If you do not travel at around 85mph on the Kennedy you are standing still. It takes about 100mph to get the cops to notice.
I was in Baton Rouge, LA. My car was having some problems with the AC and I stopped in at a Ford Dealer (Autobahn Ford) to get my R-12 recharged. Someone there took my Canon Powershot S30 with my IBM CompactFlash 384MB drive. Fucking redneck assholes. I should have beat the shit out of the inbred fucks working there, but that's a different story for a different day.
Regardless of how pissed I am at losing a $400 camera to a couple of asshats, I had some photos of my then girlfriend in various comprimising positions. To keep this brief, if I saw photos of her on the internet, bad things would happen to all involved. I wouldn't be surprised that if some of the images on that card are more personal, and if the owners get a glance, someone is gonna get hurt bad.
Saw Ghost in the Shell 2 last night at an AMC general theatre. Holy shit. No less than 45 minutes of advertisement.
Movie started at 9:20 according to the theatre. I LEFT at 11:40. That's 2:20 of my life, and the movie was only 90 minutes of that, if I'm not mistaken. I seriously was so bored by the time the movie started I couldn't concentrate on anything but the shooting.
I'd say not more often, but more severe errors occur in closed source products. I do believe that with open source coding, since you are doing it for fun or respsect or whatever other emotion, means you try to put your best out there. There is no veil between your users and the quality of your code, so pushing crap for some deadline isn't really a force behind sloppy code.
If you have glaring buffer overflow susceptibilities in your code, you won't feel too good about releasing that, right? I, personally, take the time to look for buffer overflow possibilites in any code I make because I would be embarrassed if it were exploitable. That extra 15 minutes it takes to write a solid function is worth it. Not that I can't make errors or anything, but putting in that extra effort to make sure the code doesn't fail is important to me, and I assume it is the same with many coders, open and closed source, however as I mentioned, deadlines don't really exist in the open source world. If you have to stall, so be it. Blizzard and id are good examples of closed source companies that do this as well, but not all closed source companies are offered that option.

A shot of Freon or R-12 will freeze the lock components to the point that they will shatter when struck with a pointed chisel and hammer. The only problem with that is that you've just left evidence. With a precise picking, the point of entry is hard to determine.
The processor should provide hardware memory protection. This has existed since the i386, and now with the NX flag in the selector, everything (on an x86 and not running Ring-0) technically *is* in a sandbox. Usermode (Ring-2) programs don't get to write to ports without checking permissions, they don't get to write to memory without checking permissions. Buffer overflows are pretty much the only way to execute arbitrary code, and proper NX usage ends that.
I think you've either encountered a disproportionate amount of Americans who don't type "eh", or your statistics are flawed. I've seen a lot of Americans, including myself, make fun of you guys (and you Minnesotans too) and we all type "eh".
I believe it's that you many not "Copy and Distriubte". Big difference, as fair use does allow me to archive my media in case of loss. Of course, the MPAA have made it pretty clear they want none of that, but they can go to hell.
Ah damn, I forget the equation, but even if you halve the population, the original standard deviation will still determine the population mean. Damn I wish I could remember it. But you are right. If you had a room of people and only allowed the top half (IQ 100+) in, the distribution curve won't change. It will just be half of it and will only slightly shift upwards.Someone who has a better grasp on statistics please let me know what that formula is...
What I don't agree with here is the Stage-1 isn't really as tough as bootstrapping a GCC tarball from scratch (no compiler on hand). I'm actually performing a Stage-1 on another machine as I write this, and the whole thing is scripted./usr/portage/scripts/bootstrap.sh and it does the rest.
While I agree in principle that Gentoo is one of the best methods for learning how to get into the nooks and crannies of Linux, you aren't going to learn major "oh shit" tasks. I learned best by making massive mistakes and fixing them. Tool around in it, waste a few boxes and repair them without reinstalling. Set up an iptables ruleset and watch as you accidentally lock yourself out of your ssh shell. It's all good, all in the name of learning.
One last thing:
Learn either LILO or GRUB like your life depends on it. Those two things will almost certainly cause you many problems in the near future. The ever-dreaded 'LI' prompt, and GRUB denying you boot access because you misspelled the name of your kernel. Again, all good as long as it isn't in a production environment.
Blah blah blah, that's the most worthless 75 words I have ever read. Microsoft has worked itself into a great position to HELP the computer industry and still make a great deal of money. Instead, they pull shady/illegal tricks to force their apparent 'computer supremacy', while dragging REAL innovation down due to their sloppy implementations of real, useful protocols.
And no, I 'can't do it' because I:
a) don't really have any interest in making an industry wide protocol and
b) don't have the massive amount of capital/industry clout that Microsoft has.
However, I could write and implement one. I'm a pretty damn good programmer, so your little attempt at insulting my abilities only goes to further prove that your argument is poorly constructed. Now go argue another lost cause somewhere else, you peon.
So then, you would say that's a good reason to set back computing for years? To force the rest of us to deal with some asshat company; the corporate equivalent of a bully, so they can make more money? How about 'no.'
I thought I was the only one! I'll get stuck on Wikipedia, Mathworld and Everything2 for hours on end, using Google as a sidebar for non-linked terms. By the time I'm done, I'll have like 20-25 different browser tabs open, detailing my trek from A to B.
GPU's main area is linear algebra. They can perform those 4x4 cross product ops with floats lickity split. Since matrix transformations can be easily pipelined, GPU designers made the processor able to handle a ton of parallel loads. But for things that can't be massively pipelined, the GPU would choke.
Yeah, but this is my house. I don't have the cash nor the care to install a hardware router. If it were a company, you'd better believe the thing would be hardware.

My 15 year old car does that even. Methinks someone has a bum cruise system.

There's more than plutonium in a nuke. I'm sure the other components in the warhead are unusuable.
I damn near fell asleep during the 3D masturbation. It was horrible.

I believe that is the whole point of Ring-1. I don't know that Windows or Linux properly uses Ring-1 though, but I could be wrong.

Sick an AP in the corner of one house with a directional antenna facing toward the opposite corner. Look for wide radiation patterns.

Either you break it in half, or you dislodge it from the pivot (I've actually seen the latter twice from some drunkards :p)
Let the lock hang loose on the revolving door. When it turns and the pin falls into the floor - BOOM.
