Right! Had that evil Exxon just stopped pumping oil and went into the flower business or something I know what I would have done! I would have sold my car and started walking! This is *all* Exxon's fault!
Cripes, how stupid can people be? Exxon sells oil. It's the people who burn oil that are causing the problem. That includes you.
If you want to put Exxon out of business, quit using their product and convince everybody else to quit using their product. Good luck!
Whats the chances that the little shit did it on purpose, because he knew people would think that. I can see a kid doing that. Unfortunately the it backfired.
I was an electronics hobbyist at his age (and getting back into it now). Clocks are actually an extremely common hobbyist project, and were in the 1970s/80s when I was really into it. It's an easy project and useful at the same time. So, yeah, my guess is he just made a clock.
Salem Witch Trials, Mass Murder of Scientists, Islamophobia, 2007 Boston Bomb Scare, and now this.
One of these is not like the others. "Islamophobia" is rationally based on the actions of people who loudly proclaim to be Muslims. I'd suggest you head over to kaotic.com to see some of their videos. Unfortunately some people take it to this extreme and a kid who's probably not an ISIS fan gets pushed over that direction, and CAIR is all over it, of course.
I feel terrible for the kid and I think every "adult" involved in the school and police department should be *prosecuted* ("fired" should be a given). Even the right wings kooks at twitchy.com are siding with the kid. This is serious.
But at the same time there's a reason people aren't real keen on Islam - and it's 100% due to the actions of other Muslims.
In order to do things like authenticity securely, you need to sign the contained data cryptographically. The very least number of bits needed for a signature that can be called secure in any way is around 80 bits today, and you need the data to that is signed in addition.
I conclude that this thing offers no actual security whatsoever, besides the mechanism needed to write the bits.
After painfully reading the article they're claiming that the crypto part comes as a separate QR code or something like that - which can store vastly more data. Since the QR code can't change I'm not sure exactly how that helps with the changeable part.
I'm sure there's some sort of big deal here for Xerox to put out a press release, but I can't find it and the writer of the article likely cannot, either. There are 36 bits of rewritable data that can be read with the human eye. That's not a lot. As they clumsily say in the article that gives you a number between 0 and ~68 billion - not enough to even store a credit card number. The "crypto" crap is just silliness.
He was 17, she was 15 when the sex occurred. He didn't rape her. She regretted it afterwards, and either cried rape or was forced to cry rape by her parents.
If all the upperclassmen that had sex with underclassmen at my former high school were jailed, probably a third of the school would be behind bars. This is fucking ridiculous.
Yeah, but did the upperclassmen in your school use *computers* to lure those innocent little underclasswomen into their lairs? Yeah, didn't think so. So, as you can see, it's *totally* different!
Surge pricing is Good, but there are also valid laws against Price Gouging during and before an emergency.
And, yet, during an emergency there should be extremely higher prices so that the people who most need a scarce commodity can get it (yeah, I know, if they can afford it).
We had a severe gasoline shortage in Nashville a few years ago, I mean severe. Most stations had no gasoline. Some started charging exorbitant amounts. Good. See, I didn't need gasoline so - being a good citizen - I quit driving. My wife and I work from home so we didn't need to drive. We went to the store, but that was it. Other people, though, were talking about finding a station that still had gas and filling up so that they wouldn't be left without. They didn't need it, just wanted it.
I'd rather see the ambulances and such have enough gas that they can still run - even if they have to pay double or triple for it. That's what a market is for. If you force everybody to keep their prices down during those times then all that happens is people will buy even if they don't really need.
And, not surprisingly, the answer to the question is "yes". I also hit the space bar with either hand (right preference, though) and the keys in the middle - "6" and "b" are hit by whichever index finger happens to be free at the time it needs to be hit.
Climate change is not a death sentence. There aren't any reputable scientists saying it is. I think you may have been listening to some sensationalist media stories, and possibly embellishing what they state.
Yeah, and I bet these guys will "correct" stories like these as well <eyeroll>
Holy shit, still clinging to "Bush did it, too!" after 6 years? Give it the fuck up already. You people looked like morons 6 years ago, at this point you simply look insane.
"The Obama administration is seeking to block the release of further information about how the predictions are made, as damaging to national security."
Yeah, but it's no big deal that the secretary of state was using her own private email server to store top secret and confidential information.
I wish Obama would have turned out merely as bad as I thought he would be 7 years ago - he's so far exceeded my expectations.
Dude, he's an IP attorney who posted it for profit. The case is a slam-dunk as it's willful infringement. It'll be quietly settled out of court and he likely will be able to retire if he so chooses.
There is an element of luck, but Musk is a hard worker and knows how to surround himself with brilliant people that he has the ability to lead on a common task. This is something that most people cannot do.

I couldn't figure out what you're talking about - then I realized you must have actually read the linked article.
Weird.
Most of us stopped doing that in 2002 or so.
The linked article was written by a nitwit. Here's the actual text you want to read:

I mean, Linux is just full of their patented inventions - hell, they practically wrote the whole thing! They should use it, and proudly!

And if I shoved it up McLellan's ass, we could call it a dildo?
Only if you did it repeatedly.

Anyone have any idea what's up here?
Of course, I'm married to her. But, yeah, helps keep morale up at the cost of a little distraction here and there.

I wonder if that's a result of Sony buying Konica-Minolta's camera operations.
It is. I have a Sony a65, which is an awesome camera. But, yeah, its lineage is Konica-Minolta.
How about losing the cap? Gigabit means I can get to the cap in a couple of hours now.

I see you're skillfully avoiding the climategate emails....
We get what we deserve because we let the free market reign supreme where the most cut throated business-people win and the rest go down the drain
None of that stuff would have existed in the first place absent the free market :-/
That is the difference between the average and the great IMHO.
Or the lucky.
Yeah, but The harder I work, the luckier I get.

Crap, replying to undo accidental downmod.
Did the Mozilla CEO even try to install Windows 10 before firing off a message complaining?
Well, maybe, but who cares? The really important thing is that he didn't contribute to any anti-gay-marriage whatevers.
Let's face it, it's a GMO which we all know is *bad*. Sometimes you have to let folks starve in order to save them from something evil.
