Most good college professors encourage this type of behavior. Unfortunately, it's still a LOT easier to get the right results and not have to explain why the expected results didnt ocurr (most people dont know enough to explain why, let alone why NOT).
Actually gasoline is typically octane.. not methane. While crude oil does contain some methane, that is not the primary component, nor the one we use for diesel or common car gas.
Methane is very flammable.. you'd have to keep the gas compressed all the time.. seems like an awful lot of trouble.
The political motivations of your post however, are quite clear... Go post on fark if you want to start a flame war.
Sure... sounds great.. but as far as I know... methane boils at -161.45 C (111.55 K). That's not a very sweet spot for most biological systems I can think of.
Yea, but he was gunning for the more liberal of judges.. Having one of the most conservative judges, one of 2 that dissented in Roe Vs Wade die, was NOT his intention I dont think.
In particular he called for the 3 predicted vacancies to come from the liberal judge pool.
I'm not sure you give our judicial enough credit...
I think as part of their duty to be informed on the issues that these people know what the internet is. Hell, they probably even use E-MAIL.
Not all old people are intrinsically tech-unsavvy. In particular, I dont think that SC justices can afford to be unsavvy; Their posistion is so important that it demands savvy as part of the job. And I DO think these people take their job seriously.
I wouldnt worry about these keys getting duplicated easily...
My guess is that they use a system similar to hardware dongles that you buy for uber-expensive software.
Companies like http://www.aladdin.com/ make these keys for a living and from what i hear, they are NOT easy to crack/copy. Any cracks are invariably done by very talented people with debuggers in software, not by duplicating the hardware key.
So basically, if you can modify the software of the car, then perhaps you'll be able to steal it. But that would require flashing the onboard system, which would certainly need further authentication (IIRC you need some sort of dealer code to update the onboard software), and time, during which you'd likely be noticed with your laptop hooked up to a roadside car with the hood open.
To prevent even that sort of problem, I can easily imagine them putting the necessary algorithms/data on a non-flashable chip, akin to the TPM chips in computers.
Perhaps I'm just retarded.. but for me.. I copy-pasted it into a text file and then unzipped it only to get an error "missing end signature--probably not a zip file".
While plastics are incredibly useful and durable.. from a chemical point of view... I'm much less likely to trust them in terms of long term stability.
I've seen these things dissolve in the slightest bit of an organic solvent (e.g. Dichloromethane or acetone)... and seen them melt with a souped up hairdryer (heatgun) at less than 200 degrees C. I wouldnt feel particularly safe with these materials shielding me from one of the harsher environs known to man (space).
Maby it's just my experience of seeing these substances take damage a lot, but i'd be real uneasy to trust my life to them over a bar of aluminum, which you can easily dip in water/organic solvents and heat to rediculous heats without so much as loosing it's bright metallic glint, let alone the all important structural integretiy.
If they're going to use plastics as a main part of the airframe, they're definately going to have to do some shielding from heat/radiation (U.V. light by itself can be quite destructive to certain plastics).
Along from the research being misrepresented in the headline (it appears that Croc immunoglobulin is more effective at killing HIV, not that it's 100% effective or is a cure of sorts), you've gotta wonder about this:
"Darwin's Crocodylus Park, a tourism park and research center." --Tourism park and research center?? Maby things are backwards down there, but usually research centers are associated with large academic institutions..
First, As some AC points out, 0.001 PERCENT of 9 million is 90.
Secondly, that would be posts, i'm assuming the intelligent stuff tends to be not in 90 seperate posts, but with multiple intelligent posts from the same person.
Third, since the original poster somehow messed up and cited the number 9 million instead of the correct number, 900,000 , that number is reduced to 9 posts a day, a reasonable amount to read.
We here at slashdot are nerds... now i'm a mac fan and love macs to death, but Bochs on PSP is damn cool. I think you need to go discover AvrilLavigne.net or some other pop culture portal, perhaps MTV.com... you're clearly in the wrong place.
Another thing.. bashing Linux here usually gets tagged as flamebait... if you want to garner any respect, you'll likely have to not bash Linux unless you're posting in an article itself pointing out a Linux flaw.
Lastly, spelling and spacing are important... : it's Linux, not Liinux, and it's mongooses, not mongeese. People respect you when you spell, punctuate, and speak with care.
Yes, I was more specifically referring to what was actually protected and how that was overcome, rather than the exact method to take the prehacked version and use it.
So there's VMware image running around the net I gather.. but what I'm interested in is this: how'd the modify the developer install to get it to run on just any x86 box ? What'd they do to it.. did they remove this kernel extension we've been hearing about ?
surely just removing a file.. that would be too easy.. does anyone have any real details or where we can find out about it ?
Broken assumption: You assume everyone wants to profit from OSS... they dont. I've seen plenty of OSSoftware written for the mac that's free, usable and easy to work with.

Hrm.. as the recipient of an awarded CRC book.. I prize it very much. It's got great info in it. But the Merck book is also very good.

You DO realize what the Supreme court rules on right ?
Things like.. oh.. say.. the DMCA.

What're you all doing to "unzip" this?

Well.. there's a bit of a debate over that actually..
both uses tend to be accepted...

Erm, i meant , "not in 90 seperate blogs"... not "90 seperate posts".
First, As some AC points out, 0.001 PERCENT of 9 million is 90.

By which I assume you mean 9 million....
the cited article discusses volumes of 900k, i.e.: thousands...
from whence comes this discrepancy ?
Octafluoropropane is not really all that toxic.
f 39cc852569af00702e6f/26e5bede95a1fefb85256ef50045e 0e4?OpenDocument&Highlight=0,76-19-7
According to the MSDS (Material Saftey Data Sheet), the only real toxicity to worry about is asphyxiation, no worse than nitrogen or argon gas.
Greenhouse gases != toxic (at least not implicity).

What do you call 3 consecutive life sentences?
Https proxy anyone ? That'd go right through the firewall.

Are there any known guides out there.. there seems to be a lot of this "i did it , I did it !" but no "how"... or am I just missing the boat ?
I dont actually want to do it mind you, but i'm interested in the process... i.e. how easy it is...
anyone wanna link some guides/info ?
10-4 on the must-see story (I submitted and got rejected too).
