Two-factor authentication? WTF?! Why not just sack the luddite and his nearest boss?
"Officials said the northern and eastern grids had both collapsed.[...] It was unclear why the grid collapsed but reports said some states may have been using more power than authorised. Power officials managed to restore the northern grid by Monday evening, but at 01:05pm (0735 GMT) on Tuesday, the grid collapsed again. The eastern grid failed around the same time, officials said. [...] The two grids together serve more than half of India's 1.2bn people."
Is this really the way to go?! Still, thank you India for showing us how it can be done, or?
Call me naïve, while global warming needs fast actions this Indian kind of action may well be too fast.
How Valve and Intel optimize Linux for gaming may be more speed winning than watching grandma walk down the stairs.
Phoronix has a summary of what tools Valve and Intel use for optimizing Linux for gaming needs (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTE0NDE):
Finding Bottlenecks In Your Linux Game, Application If you are curious how Valve and Intel improved the OpenGL performance of their Mesa driver and also at the same time finding areas for performance optimizations within the Source Engine, here's some of the tools used.
Do they use the best tools? I can't tell. Can you?
Family-run firm Nominit in Värnamo, southern Sweden, will be paying out 114 million kronor ($16.3 million) to their current and former employees in a gesture of goodwill. The company was founded in 1937 and is the two founders and owners have no heirs to their fortune. The company, which currently has about 50 employees, manufactures rivets and has a turnover of about 100 million kronor, of which 60 comes from export.
"You're not sure if making Assault Rifle's illegal would have stopped him"
No I'm not. People in countries where automatic assault rifles are illegal have also killed many people in a short time, using illegal automatic assault rifles. Look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spree_killer
I agree that reducing the number of weapons in the street will reduce some forms of killings. Still, an attack like this wouldn't necessarily have been stopped.
"There would be shooting, but the shooter wouldn't have survived".
Are you 100% sure about the shooter not surviving? I am not. The smoke bomb probably would have prevented that, quite effectively.
An audience firing back into the smoke more likely would have killed even more.
Would the gun control have helped? Even if I'm pro gun control I don't think it would have helped here. It is really hard to tell as this was a seriously premeditated attack. This guy wanted to kill and harm and as judged by the gas mask it was planned well in advance.
'Half of the fish species in the Baltic are at levels below the critical biological level, while pregnant Swedish women are being warned not to eat herring - a staple diet - because of dioxins. There is little dispute that St Petersburg - Russia's second-biggest city - is the Baltic's single biggest polluter, and behind many of the problems.'
'Northern European nations have been discussing pollution in the Baltic Sea at a conference in Finland. The Baltic is considered one of the most polluted waterways in the world. [...] “Today some of the richest and most environmentally-conscious countries on earth live on the shore of one of the world’s most polluted seas. What a tragedy. It is clear that something has to be done and quickly.” [...] “Today we are also facing a historic international challenge, which I would like to point to as as the issue of chemical and conventional weapons dumped into the Baltic Sea.” [...] Almost enclosed, very shallow, and fed by numerous rivers, the Baltic is a vulnerable sea. 90 million people live around its shores, many of them depending on the sea in some way or other for their livelihoods, but waste from industry, agriculture and daily life ends up in the sea. One of the biggest resulting dangers is too much algae. Excess growth of it robs the water of oxygen suffocating other species.'
etc.
Maybe the Chinese still can change this tide, err, that brown tide.
Fuck! How many fucking fucks are there?! I didn't count them all but I got some 15 passwords including the four letters "fuck" per ten thousand passwords.
"Like salmon, steelheads are anadromous: they return to their original hatching ground to spawn. Similar to Atlantic salmon, but unlike their Pacific Oncorhynchus salmonid kin, steelheads are iteroparous (able to spawn several times, each time separated by months) and make several spawning trips between fresh and salt water. The steelhead smolts (immature or young fish) remain in the river for about a year before heading to sea, whereas salmon typically return to the seas as smolts."
I tried to find the installation instructions but could not find any on the CyanogenMod website. I found them on other sites but would rather find them next to the source.

Huh?! You wanna look like a Steve?

Communists, Nazi, Mossad, KGB, Facebook, Google+.

I think he was more like French or English och Chinese. Not computer languages... But, OTOH, I didn't RTFA.

"I don't know why you expect Google's official instructions to install Android be on the CyanogenMod website"
Thanks. After reading about the CyanogenMod I forgot about the articles' main focus... My fault.
"Rainbow Trout are not salt water fish, they are fresh water only. Article is bullshit."
No, you are. ;)
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_trout#Life_cycle
"Like salmon, steelheads are anadromous: they return to their original hatching ground to spawn. Similar to Atlantic salmon, but unlike their Pacific Oncorhynchus salmonid kin, steelheads are iteroparous (able to spawn several times, each time separated by months) and make several spawning trips between fresh and salt water.

"Android is garbage designed "By Faggots, For Faggots" and it will never be as good as iOS"
Isn't it strange that iOS is included with hardware that is more designed than the OS... Go figure, wannabe.
I tried to find the installation instructions but could not find any on the CyanogenMod website. I found them on other sites but would rather find them next to the source.
Anyone with a link?
Yes, I know this is Slashdot, but, still, don't expect then to screw like the average girlfriend. No, I haven't tried magnets.
"IE 9 is still king of the lowest RAM usage for just one tab"
But, I thought IE was embedded into WinXP and Win7?
No wonder if it is.
Your low number gave you away... ;)
"OS X is Unix which is all Linux is pretending to be"
Huh? That may have been true a decade ago.
Have a look at http://i.top500.org/overtime and you'll see that Linux overtook and topped Unix between 2002 and 2005.
OSX today? Not of any significant relevance for the last few years.
You never spoke to Helmut Bakaitis?
"The peace price ius awarded by a different process for different reasons."
To be honest, I think most people are more interested in the gas price than in the peace price.
The different Nobel Prizes have little to do with any of that.
