is it just me or is software supposed to utilize hardware as efficiently as possible, it seems to me that if you leave it alone and let the aplications that actually need it use it, everything will run much faster.
i find that incredibly offensive that you are just ignoring people who took the time to go through the propper chanels to protest this, next you will have naturalists lying infront of ur bulldozers
The flapping wings of a bird are the result in what is called a homologus structure, since they were once arms and nature needed an easy way to get them off the ground, it is far easier to evolve feathers sticking out of an arm than it is to evolve a propeller or a jet engine. Although it is apparant that our technology is not as efficient, having not evolved on the basis of energy concervation, with modern engineering it is possible that we could make something more efficeint.
Before the wright brothers made their airplane they had toys that flew under similar principals, many attempts were made to duplicate this but all failed, the point is that if you scaled that up you would probably end up with a device that succesfully shakes itself apart.
it seems to me that there is no real security threat here, if the user is required to activate the executable. the hosts file is just in the windows directory which most users don't have restricted from use, i personally use it to block banner ads.
It would be more frugal if they just didn't bother.
I deffinatly belive that this is true, p2p is such bad quality that if they were not such whores i would be buying disks even though i could get it for free. i honestly belive that many other people would do the same.
Don't support terror, boycott the RIAA!!!
the whole purpose of this is to prevent people from transfering it to a digital format, by allowing for them to download for free from itunes defeats the purpose, but also it screws itunes over since it costs them bandwidth.
belive me, i am as anti copy protection as anyone but this is not the answer.
if you look at it the solution is that p2p does not actually harm sales and all we need to do is to prove this to the whore mongoring assholes (riaa and associates)
I do not believe that there were two of them, it said two holes, but with that speed it probably just went through the roof, the celing under the roof, then into the lower level or basement making another hole in the celing.
this is very similar to that annoying 35 mph speed limit in the middle of nowhere in whyoming right next to double orange lines as far as the eye can see...
freedom of speach is not nearly what people say it is, if you go infront of the whitehouse and start badmouthing bush, then you will most likely be arrested. There are enough holes in the 1st amendment that you could fit an elephant through (accusation intended).
Let's not notice the elephant, let's build some robots to see if we can detect any subtle hints of poisons in the water.
the problem with your statement is that the room is quite large and is a zoo. By saying this i mean that the chemicals cannot just be stoppped from being in the proximity of the water. when chemicals exist in an environment THEY DO NOT ALWAYS END UP IN THE WATER SUPPLY, other factors affect them such as evaporation, denitrification, volitization, runoff, and thousands of other factors. An example of this is that you could dump 10,000 gallons of tequila on the ground and none of it would end up in the water supply. the problem that these robots are designed for is to figure out what will go down not just what is being dumped on the ground.
"but more interesting is that NASA needs a license at all"
A political system relies on a set of rules that applies to EVERYONE. If these rules are no obeyed, even if it is the government itself the system falls apart. But even if they did not require one it would still be bad publicity since they would then be thought of as "Big Brother".
(-5 flamebait here i come!!!)
In my experience in a case like this they would find the ip of the entire network and then narrow it down. In the case of a college lan or apartment building you can have upwards around 100 people on one lan so you really have to narrow it down or you will be searching an entire apartment building and the criminal would have time to remove his hdd's and use thermite on them or something like that.
Most people who take this survey are probably going to be "good" citizens who are not going to do "bad" things like pirating music. Most people who pirat music are constantly paranoid about spyware and adware fearing that "big brother" will use it to catch them in the act; or i guess in this case the RIAA.
I have studied some biology and biotechnology and as far as i can tell these fish present no danger what so ever assuming that they are safe for human consumption... the types of modifications that they are making are things like a faster growth rate, artificially producing vitamins and chemicals that are nessecary for human survival. and last but not least, making them box shaped. i am actually not kidding about that, the idea is that since cylindrical things such as fish do not stack as efficiently as box shaped ones reducing the packaging fee by about 20%.
The only problem among these is the growth hormone. The argument is that if it breeds with non captive fish it will take over the river. nature has an uncanny ability to ballence itself out, something like that would either not have enough food to survive and the origional species would take over or it would take over and making things more efficient(eg: less fish do the job of more).
If these modifications were benificial to the fish's survival then they would probably have them by now. fish have been around for longer than most creatures on this planet, so one would be lead to believe that they would be resiliant to soemthing like this.
THESE FISH WILL HAVE NO MORE IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT THAN A PEASHOOTER WOULD ON AN ATV
what ever happened to moderation??? there are just downright obscene comments on this, for example one was just "penis" for gods sakes people THINK BEFORE YOU POST!!!
encription is a fairly easy thing to do, even something as primitive as the enigma could make it more of a hastle than it is worth for any terrorist and blow any script kiddie's mind away. and even if they did gain access, what good would it do??? all they could do is mess with statistics and as we all know statistics are all fake anyways.
That is a good question, but from what i have seen, it would not harm fillings/bracelets/rings or any other pice of conductive metal. As almost everyone knows, medal in a microwave will melt, spark, and sometimes even ignite things. but this is substantially more powerful than what is required to destroy electronics. I have built several computers and the biggest concern with that is ESD (electro static discharge) which is when a difference in potential is created by rubbing against something or touching an old crt although this is over 1k volts it does not have much current to it and it does not last for more than 1/32 of a second. This is plenty to blow out chips and muck with crap in general. The amount of microwaves required to do this is small enough that nothing but electronics will be effected although you might get a nasty shock from your fillings, it would not do any perminant dammage.
I come from a household of one child, I know as much as anyone that it is a real pain to have your parents always prying into your life. But my view is that there is a certain amount of freedom that a child must have. As discussed in previous replies, the answer is not to "rule with an iron fist" this just inspires curiosity and results in more disobedience than it prevents.
A clear example of this is someone I knew in 9th grade, his family was one that was very devoted to catholocism and had 8 childeren ranging from 3 to 21. My friend at the time was in 8th grade and he was around 14 years old. His dad descovered one of his many brothers browsing pornogrophy on the internet. Since then his dad disalowed any internet in the house. This then became such an extreme that he would smash any pc board that incorporated anything that even remotly resembled a modem (including ethernet cards). This had a very detrimental effect on him, for a while he believed that the internet was the work of the devil and said anyone who used it was going to hell. But he was even tempted to the point of breaking; one day i descovered him browsing the web in the library and he was very embarased about it. Although soon he decided that it was ok and continued without shame. One thing lead to another and one day i found him browsing pornography in a carfully constructed hovel that he had built up around one of the computers (why the administration did not figure this out i am not sure) since then he has been doing everything he can to get his hands on it, it is an obsession that would never have come around if his dad had just let them have internet.
my theory is that you must show a child what the internet is, show them what pornograpy is about and if they are good people like i am sure my friend was they will realize that there are things on the web that are too descusting for viewing and most likley never have a problem with it. (a child will look at pornography, it is inevitable, weather they will have a problem or not is up to the parents. The problem is set in due to strict rules. All my friends that have come from strict homes have problems such as this. whereas the ones that come from good homes that are open about what it is and teach good values are much better at coping with it. (no madder who you are though you still look at it and if you are a reputable person deny it)
You would not even need that, you just have the recieving station, if the beam is not hitting it when it is supposed to be then it sends a radeo transmission to the station that stops it.

Did you not hear???, the riaa now owns the fcc. and has a joint occupation of the us government along with rockefeller and microsoft.

Quite honestly i think that the riaa should be the first entire corporation to be placed in jail for serial rape.
