Yes. Also ANFO (common nitric fertiliser plus diesel oil) changes a pound of C4 or any other strong explosive into equivalent of 50 pounds of C4 or similar multiplier of that explosive. So let's all ban the fertilizers and diesel oil.
Actually Frontier has pretty realistic physics (though their take on gravity is a bit simplified) - and yes, you can depend on the autopilot, but for maximum efficiency: "Engines off" and thruster/reverse. It takes some time to learn to use it right, but later you find it hard to play without it - like in Privateer, 90% of the time in the "Shelton slide" (which is equivalent to Frontier "engines off").
lol omfg idiots bought it!!!
Yeah. Stay put for 2 months more. And just in case you have something urgent, tunnel through Luser832, I have planted enough "evidence" on his PC to keep him in prison for 50 years.
There's no subscription fee. You get 2 games a month free. The console itself is undersold.
But the wireless controllers run on proprietary Microsoft batteries which run out of power after 10h of use and you can obtain a new set for $30 from your local Microsoft Golden Partner dealer.
No. They take up screen real estate, which is a very limited resource. I often use post-it notes myself, to write down useful info from the computer. More, I sometimes print sidebars and paste them to the sides of the monitor (i.e. SFR and memory map for 8052 while developing programs for it, or basic help for some new program - I had "mouse gestures" in "printed sidebars" before I remembered them.) - these actually "increase screen real estate". (same reason I think no 15" ultra-hi-res super-duper LCD screen can replace a good, ol' faithful 21" CRT). There are things that are good on screen only, things are good in both worlds, and things that are good IRL only. Post-it is good only as non-virtual.
Because when you're away, you can't say "No, I can't do it", "No, I'm busy with something else", "Why don't you do this yourself?" or such. There's no "Reply" button on post-it notes, which makes them a great tool to unload your own work onto someone else.
Yes, it's all about laziness. My univ still doesn't use post-it, and they don't intent to, until they run out of their supply of blank 80-column cards. Every office has a box (10,000 or so of them) and they are used instead of post-it notes, actually being way more handy because of stiffness and size.
My passwords are stored in more permanent manner. Like the poster on the wall, saying "Lexmark Z-50_Color Ink Printer." It's not going to go anywhere in the next 2-3 years.
Writing buffer overflows is trivial. You do this all the time while programming, whether you want or not (and usually the latter). Writing a buffer overflow bug exploit is a totally different matter though, and I'd love to see some useful tutorial on that - i.e. I find overflowable parameter in some program, what do I feed it to do something useful for me?
I see a crowd of Flash software developers frustrated with some completely irrational Flash fallacies. Want it execute always? Include it in "if(true)", otherwise it won't work...
By everyone going into the area. The US troops, the locals, the journalists, the rebels. The US troops know rebels know them. So they shoot everyone who uses them. The rebels know US troops know they know. So they don't use them. The journalists and the locals have nothing better to protect themselves. So they get shot.
Come on. We can require clothes in certain cases. Just like smoking is "allowed by default" and forbidden in certain places. The law present in some states, forbidding using public transportation after eating garlic makes sense! Same could apply to clothes.
Know of the guy who was washing his 6-month-old daughter without using a rubber glove? 2 years prison, no appeal, lost parental rights. Texas, US. So much for "less enlightened countries".
Most possibly, they were marked as such to make them look more believable. Not believable enough though, so they were removed.
I don't know, why all of you assume a single word in the whole document, (both released and "removed") is true. This wasn't written to reveal the truth, but to appease the public. Whatever was written, was never meant to -explain- anything. Simply some parts were found to be too unbelievable before the document was released, and so they were "removed".
Don't explain with ill will what can be explained with stupidity.
Day 0. Grunt 1: Hey, wake up! Some car just passed by! Grunt 2: dadadadadadadada! *shooting* Grunt 1: Hey, stop! I didn't say shoot, just wake up and check them! Grunt 2: They got away already, screw them.
Day 1: Drone 1: Shit, grunts screwed up. Write up something to cover it up. Drone 2: Any info about what happened? Drone 1: All classified. Will take years to get through the administration, and we need something NOW. Make something up. Drone 2: Okay.
Day 2: Drone 1: Okay, but they won't buy... this VIP road part, she already said they were on that road already... and that front shooting part. The car has been shot from behind. The rest looks believable enough. Drone 2: Ok, erasing these. (Crtl+X, save.) Drone 1: Looks fine, send to the press.
If that single line is removed from the document, the document can be released freely. People who released it -thought- the confidential pieces were removed. What they did though, was computer equivalent of pasting post-it notes over the offending parts before handing them out to the public.
My former boss had a neat password system he had developed himself...
The login app displays a screenful of 2-digit numbers, organized in a kind of table. The table changes each time in a random fashion. Your password consists of 6 numbers, not quite arbitrary. You find column containing to the first two, row containing the second two, then the number at cross-section of the row and column, modulo-add the third number and some kind of digest of current date, then enter the result.
2-digit password isn't really strong when it comes to brute-forcing, but with basic blocking mechanism (i.e. 15 minutes after 3 failures) it still would take days to crack. And of course implementation that would be much harder to crack, based on similar idea is possible. Shoulder-looking is useless, because the number you enter is different each time. It would be awfully hard to recover the "source digit" given a number of screens and associated keystrokes - if you would be able to remember the screens in the first place...
The idea isn't all that novel - target system sends a random crypto challenge to the source system, the source system decrypts it and sends the decrypted result back. Intercepting the communication is pretty much worthless. The novel part is that the decrypting system is our own brain:)

Yes. With physical access to the machine they would get what they want anyway, so why bother? (and for network passwords I use other tactics)
No.

Maybe because it's a US policy to shoot first, let God sort them out later?
Signals of "friendly vehicles" are commonly known. And commonly known to be ignored by the US troops.
