A similar phishing exploit can be done using chrome-free windows (see earlier story) with the IE toolbar, address bar and even the little SSL padlock inserted as a GIF (just cut and paste from a screen dump of the real site). So the victim's screen looks exactly like www.fatcatbank.com when it's really at www.russianmafiaownzj00.ru. Mousing over the address bar would give the game away with this simple example, but it's not impossible to use HTML forms to make an address bar that works.
The light beam is stored (in gas atoms) rather than stopped. It's a bit like sending an e-mail - you don't get the same electrons that were sent to you from the other person's computer, but the electrons that come down your telephone line/DSL/cable are identical in every respect.
Chrome-free windows, with the addition of a fake IE toolbar/address bar as a GIF, can be used to spoof online banking login pages *really* convincingly. I'm surprised MS wanted to patent something that's so open to abuse for "phishing" fraud.
Part of this is that Nikon lenses focus the "wrong way" compared to Canons, therefore it's hard to swap between the two systems once you're used to it.
Snobs will tell you that Canon's is the "right way" because that's the way a Leica focuses, and Leica popularized 35mm photography. Among other brands, I know Minoltas go the "right way" while Pentaxes and Bronicas go the "wrong way". Amazing there isn't an ISO standard for this kind of thing.
If you can find a secondhand one of these for your budget, it's a very good buy. There is a vast range of secondhand lenses and even the Nikon AF ones will fit (although they won't AF).
The other manual focus systems, with the possible exception of Leica (your wallet wouldn't like it), aren't properly supported any more.
The GUI of InGen's Site B computer in the otherwise execrable book of "The Lost World" was something similar. Needless to say, the kids figured it out where the adults failed.
A downloadable version of it that can present a basic-level desktop designed to perform functions equivalent to Microsoft Windows, will be posted on the Net tomorrow.
So they've made a product that sucks dollar bills from your wallet, DRMs all your tunes and core dumps twice a day?
CO2 emissions are lower for bikes, but since they have no catalysts, NOx, CO and HC emissions - the poisonous ones - are way higher.
By the same token, an average gasoline-powered lawnmower used for 1 hour emits as much of the above harmful pollutants as a new car driven for 8,000 miles.
Assuming Sharman's impressively high Kazaa usage figures included KL, boy are they going to get a rude awakening when they actually turn it off. (AFAIK this will be done by releasing a new version, as they did when they went to v2.1.)
Ironically they've probably done more to kill off P2P for the informed user than the RIAA have ever managed.
Presumably, given the relative masses of the Earth and Moon, the Lagrange point is pretty close to the latter. I don't know how much energy is required to blast off from the Moon, but it seems to me that if you've gone nearly all the way there you might as well have a solid foundation and a bit of gravity to make life easier. A space station at the Lagrange point would need some energy to stay in position anyway - it would invariably drift over time if not corrected due to the solar wind and inaccuracies in the initial positioning.

I've never seen a CPU die (unless the heatsink falls off). My Athlon 1.4 o/c to 1.6 has been running perfectly for over 2 years. The motherboard died recently but the same CPU will go back in its replacement.
But the best thing about AMD is that a modern Socket A mobo will still take pretty much any SoA chip and most older mobos will take chips that weren't even thought of at the time. Compare that to the Intel alternative, where upgrading is a painfully expensive business. Any coincidence that Intel sell a lot of mobo chipsets? Never.
Now that *is* scary...but I'd expect someone called "Darl" to have a mullet, drive a pickup, own several dangerous dogs, fire automatic weapons at road signs and listen to C&W. I suppose he can get back into all that when SCO goes down the tubes.
The goatse man announced that, after revolting an entire generation of net users, he was taking his fingers out of his bottom and looking forward to a well-earned sit down. "Frankly, it's hard to find sponsorship these days as all my visitors appear to come from a geek discussion site and leave again within 5 seconds. My fingers are also starting to get cramp and I've been advised that any stools I pass in future may not be accommodated by a standard 4-inch waste pipe", he added.
No one will want to look at a man stretching his bottom wide open
Does anyone ever go there *on purpose*? Still, you have to admit the dude's had his 15 minutes of fame, although he probably doesn't get recognised much in the street.
Ever wondered why you have to step down through an unnecessary folder when browsing your digital camera's memory card? It's because FAT16 can't have more than 512 files in the root directory.
So are MS enforcing the patent on the crappy FAT16 - some cheek there! - or the improved FAT32?
If a lecturer at my university had even tried to exceed the standard 50 minutes, he would have been heckled and/or people would have started disappearing off to the cafeteria for a coffee. Paper aeroplanes would appear when the big hand of the clock drifted past the 11. One of our Chinese students once slept through an entire morning (3 lectures) and only woke up for lunch.
Kids these days just don't understand that the true point of university is to explore your alcoholic limits and avoid working for 3 years.
What I don't understand is why anyone needs to cram a whole multi-user, multi-tasking OS onto a small device with only two or three modes of operation (voice phone, Internet and maybe digital camera). None of these devices really need to be upgradeable - most Europeans get a whole new phone every 12-18 months because their network provider allows cheap upgrades - so that can't be the reason.
Presumably it's cheaper to build additional processor speed and storage into the device, to cope with the overhead of Linux/Windows Embedded, than it is to spend developer time to knock up a custom OS for the limited hardware?

Must be using one of those portable server thingies.

And if it wasn't for those pesky (American and New Zealander) kids, he'd have got away with it!

That 2010 message was actually sent by the Germans, who laid out their beach towels there in 2009 ;-)

Well, the Infamous Exploding Whale is still there, although last time I looked their hate mail was 5 years old.

Well, the low-tech solution to being anonymous is to use someone else's poorly-secured WiFi gateway :-)
That's not bad. Presumably, like all trains, it depends on the popularity of the route and the time of day.

The French TGV system is pretty good too, but it is expensive. They have the speed record for real trains, as opposed to maglev vaporware.
I just pasted 4 of them together to make a 4 Gigapixel image.
