Pete Townsend did play a Les Paul, but only from 1972 to 1979. If you are looking for an iconic posterboy for the Gibson Les Paul, try Jimmy Page. Other notables include Slash, Joe Perry, and Ace Frehley. Here is a list of of 15 iconic Les Paul players from Gibson.
No, the Volt will have a 1.4 L engine, bigger than the one in my Honda Civic Hybrid. For people looking for a commuter car and have another car in the family, the gasoline engine and fuel weight are significant drawbacks. As well as emissions inspections, oil changes, etc. I think the Volt is the worst of all worlds. Expensive, complicated computer controlled batteries, all the complications of having to have both an electric motor and a gas engine, etc. If you need the range, you would be better off saving the money and getting a Hybrid or Turbo Diesel. If you don't need the range, the LEAF is a lot simpler.
USAA already allowed check deposits by scanner, so this really isn't anything new. But mix anything with IPhone and it makes the Slashdot homepage. Sigh.
ID as a scientific theory has been thoroughly disproven in Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District. After a thorough review including weeks of testimony by the leading ID thinkers (they are not scientists), the judge ruled that "the overwhelming evidence at trial established that ID is a religious view, a mere re-labeling of creationism, and not a scientific theory."
It is astonishing that trolls like you and this college are still calling ID science considering the facts. Or perhaps your post was intended to be funny.
Big sites have issues with DDOS attacks, period. Doesn't matter if they are cloud hosted or not.
In fact, Amazon's cloud infrastructure is far more distributed than most other individual companies infrastructure. Of course, you have to set up multiple availability zones.
Why do you need to be a minority to have an experience with race-based bigotry?
In the case of institutional racism, you have to be non-white to experience it in the US. Racism is a charged word, but probably most people are just xenophobic. Xenophobia cuts all ways.
Math has a way of warping almost anything. Take the miles per gallon rating we use in the US to tell us how efficient our cars are. Miles per gallon is actually a very misleading measurement. What we should probably use is gallons per mile, or gallons per 100 miles.
Take an example where a Range Rover gets 14 MPG, a Toyota Rav4 gets 24 mpg, and a Prius gets 46 mpg. It isn't intuitive based on the miles per gallon, but moving from the Range Rover to the Rav4 saves more fuel than moving from the Rav4 to the Prius. That is because people don't drive a fixed number of gallons, but drive (more or less) a fixed number of miles. When you look at the gallons used per 100 miles it is clear. The Range Rover uses 7.14 gallons per 100 miles, while the Rav4 uses 4.17 and the Prius 2.17. So it is clear that changing from a Range Rover to a Rav4 will save almost 3 gallons per 100 miles, while changing from a Rav4 to a Prius only saves 2 gallons per 100 miles.
No, people shouldn't have to pay $20 for a way to make this technology safer. The government should improve their own shielding, and use more secure protocols for RFID transmission.
The bottom line is that Microsoft is using its monopoly position as an operating system vendor to force third parties to license trivial but patented VFAT technology that is only useful for interoperability.
If that isn't abuse of their monopoly, I don't know what is.
This is pretty stupid. He assumes that the Tesla batteries will last as long as laptop batteries do. Three years. Read up on all that Tesla does to lengthen their battery lifetimes. Tesla says you will still have 70% capacity after 5 years and 50,000 miles.
traceroute sometimes uses UDP, but always uses ICMP. Read up on traceroute. While it gets kicked off with a UDP packet (although sometimes it uses a ICMP ECHO instead), the error packets that return come back via ICMP, which is often not routed for security reasons. tcptraceroute does use SYN packets instead, and should have been used in this case.
I did a bunch of searching and couldn't find the actual traceroute, so I don't totally understand what was bad about it.
However, it is not at all surprising that the trace failed. Routing ICMP (which is the protocol traceroute uses) isn't required, and is a security concern.
And, given this was for evidence, Media Sentry should have used a tool like tcptraceroute.
Anyone remember the NeXT's magneto-optical drive? At a time when floppy disks were at their zenith, and everyone used them, the NeXT shipped in 1990 with no floppy drive. Instead, storage was on a 256 megabyte magneto-optical drive, which was totally unreliable. The NeXTstation (pizza box) finally got a floppy (though a 2.88 meg one) in 1992.
Who modded this offtopic? It is a perfectly good example of stenography in a slashdot post. I'm just having a little trouble deciphering the hidden message.
Neither the laws of physics nor the complexity of life in any way provide objective evidence that there is an omnipotent, supernatural god. They can also be evidence that complexity can arise from simplicity, and that the universe happens to have hospitable conditions for life.
Only someone who believes in god would see those as evidence of god. Don't feel bad though. Your ape hierarchical mind is probably hardwired to believe in god. Believing in hierarchy is good for the group.
That is an urban myth. CFL's do require special cleanup, but is is a pretty simple process. See Snopes for more information.
According to the EPA, the amount of mercury released into the atmosphere every year is 104 metric tons, mostly created by coal fired power plants. Since most of the mercury is bound to the CFL bulb as it is used, even if every CFL that was sold in 2007 (290 million bulbs) were sent to landfill, it would only release.16 metric tons of mercury, or raise the US yearly amount by 0.16 %.
That the technology revolution has almost overtaken feature films. The trailer looks almost as good as the real thing. Pretty soon it will be hard to tell fan fiction from the real thing. Hell, some of the fan fiction might end up being better than the real thing.
Electric cars at first won't be good for road trips. If you take them frequently, you shouldn't buy an electric car. However, they are a perfect commuter car. And for the occasional road trip, you can rent a gasoline car.
Coming up with a battery swap infrastructure, with battery swap stations literally everywhere you might want to drive is pretty far fetched. And would you really want to drive to a service station to get your battery swapped instead of plugging your car in at night? I think it is more likely that recharge speeds and battery capacity will improve before the massive infrastructure needed for practical battery swapping becomes available.
The whole reason all this battery replacement talk is happening is that people are comparing electric cars to gas cars. And guess what, they are not the same. Electric cars won't work for everyone. If you want to drive cross country, they aren't a good option. Eventually they will get higher capacity and faster charging times. But electric cars are not there yet.
Many people argue that electric cars won't work because they sometimes take far trips in their cars. I would argue that electric cars might work for 95% of many peoples actual car use, and that renting a gasoline car for the occasional trip makes a lot more sense than trying to extend range of electric cars. People want cars to work for any possible need, hence people commuting in Chevy Tahoes. That mentality isn't practical.
But replacing batteries to extend electric car range? I think it makes no sense. Batteries make up a large percentage of the cost of electric cars. And companies like BYD and Tesla are already talking about selling batteries with higher capacities as options. Now would you want to swap out your battery, that is a huge part of the value of your car, with just any battery the charging station has? What if the battery you swap with has a shorter lifetime or limited capacity due to use? I think a more likely future schenario is quick charging, not swapping.
While this is an insightful joke, it is very interesting that horses were a lot more dirty than the ICE cars that replaced them. Around the turn of the 20th century, horseshit was literally choking our cities. To say nothing about the dead horse carcasses rotting in the streets.
I wonder if this is an attempt by the ISPs to end around net neutrality. They set these caps low, users won't pay. But certain third parties who make revenue sharing deals with the ISPs (think Hulu, YouTube, etc.) are exempted from the caps. Since users won't pay higher for uncapped data, it will drive users to the "free" services, creating more revenue for the ISP.

Having a game controller was half the appeal? Tell that to PC gamers, who by and large still use the keyboard.
Also, who is going to miss the arcane key combinations required to pull off a chain of combos? I for one won't miss Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A one bit.

First, there are car seats that are narrow.
Second, you are right, not all families will fit into a sedan. But according to the US census, the average US family size is 3.14 people. Having more kids is a choice that comes with an economic impact.
