I'm not talking about the onboard computer - that can stay firmly in the realm of Vx. I'm talking about a tweakers PC, like on mp3car.com -- it's basically a personal computer used as an over-the-top GPS and sound system, although I've seen some pretty cool things come from it.
The fuel needs to be activated before it starts throwing off harmful radiation. Before then, you could literally have sex on a slab of the stuff and you'd be fine. It's the spent fuel you need to worry about.
Also, your children are showered with radiation every day of their lives. Their clothes are contaminated with various types of radiation. As you're reading this, YOU are being contaminated with radiation!
I have so many pig jokes that I want to post on every police story that rears its head on slashdot, but I'm afraid of being arrested because of the militaristic approach to law enforcement in this country.
On the other hand... this lady sounds like she's got mental problems.
I say let the big companies lock out their content. It just helps smaller content producers find their niche and make some money through sponsorships and advertisements.
I don't know why you were modded -1, Troll; in the time between the 802.11n standard being worked on and then being finalized, we've had a war end and subsequently being again, a presidential election, numerous state elections, several revisions of Windows 7, two new Ubuntu releases, Duke Nukem Forever was finally canceled, speculative trading of oil causing major financial headaches for the American SUV market, and the banking and housing market bubbles finally popped.
In fact, California and New York may actually work faster than the 802.11n standards consortium. +5, Insightful, imo.
Before I get anally raped. Yes, I know about the humanitarian abuses. Yes, I know they're real. I was only giving an example of why "it's in China's nature" is a valid security concern.
except to paraphrase - "it is in China's character"
Security is based on a model of trust. No matter how advanced your algorithm is, it's all based on the trust you have in the other party to not divulge your secret information. It's also based on the trust you have in the vendor that sold you this secure algorithm to not have a backdoor in it.
There's just not enough of a trusting relationship between China and the western governments.
Whether there are a legion of Chinese hackers trying to digitally infiltrate other countries or not, I don't know. China could be printing tens of billions of forged US dollars and sending them to drug cartels around the world, or not.
These stories of China being the big bad black hole of evil could be true, or they could be part of a disinformation campaign. In either case, the trust needed to get beyond the paranoia of "it's in China's nature" is simply not there.
Well, if you'd operate your motor vehicles legally, as opposed to sneaking up beside a car on the right, then trying to get past that car after the light turns red, I wouldn't try to make that "sudden right."
Wait... running around in a big world, causing people to spend massive amounts of time traveling and not actually doing anything else in the game is... suspense?
I don't think you quite understand what Hitchcock was saying.
Right, because it's not bad enough that the affiliates in North Carolina are already taxed on their earnings, but now they have to be taxed on the sales they refer to Amazon? You're talking taxing the same people three times on every sale (Local, State, and Affiliate). Let's not mention the bigger affiliates that are taxed 5 times (2x corporate earnings taxes, IRS personal, State personal, Affiliate)
Oh, and yes, the IRS and states tax the shit out of individuals in business. I don't know where people get the idea of mystical business tax relief, because if you're in business and playing by the law, you don't get a refund check, you send in a damn check every fiscal quarter.
Without any kind of business expenses, I would be taxed 89% on every dollar I made. eighty. nine. fucking. percent. And I'm just barely hovering around the poverty line doing this shit. Then you and your backwards populist shitheads yell at me for not spending money to better myself on college, or buying a car, or some other bullshit.
If your community is in such a dire condition that they absolutely need to tax a person a third time on the same dollar, then your community is completely fucked, needs to be dissolved, have its assets liquidated, and a new structure put in place.

blind obedience to words written by the social elite only keeps the populace oppressed.
More proof that the overt cold war ended, but the covert battle continues.

... but if you're building a computer that requires a fast startup time - like an in-car PC - 10 second startup time is a godsend.

Yes, we finally saved up enough Evo points. The human species got upgraded yesterday.
You know, it's also possible that we are the only civilization sufficiently advanced enough to think about these things in this corner of the galaxy.

I know GNAA is always modded down as off topic, but ... oddly enough I think this one is actually on topic.

My laptop constantly overheats, I mistreak the battery to hell, and still it keeps working.
And millions upon millions of other people have had the same results.
I've only got one piece of advice for you: stop being such a pussy. You're slowing the rest of us down.

Have you had any practice with natural language database queries? No? You're a C programmer by trade? Well, then, fuck you.
I'm sorry, but as a C programmer I have to say that C doesn't make a lick of sense.
