New the the scene? In win9x, Microsoft offered "Microsoft Personal Web Server" or PWS, which functioned much the same way as IIS does, only with 1/100th of the security and features.
You don't seem to understand the (valid) issue he brought up.
A hacker is an "explorer" and one who seeks to learn, or gather information.
A cracker is the same, but with malicious intent, and who often also hijack targeted systems by installing backdoors or trojans the first time they break into the system.
Hackers hacking into a system are harmless, beware of the cracker.
You described a cracker, NOT a hacker, I just felt I should make that clear.
It produces energy using gyros that are on the bottom half of each generator, those gyros spin with the rocking of the waves, the physical energy produced by the gyros rotating is moved towards the upper-half of the generator (outside the water), which is turned into electricity, then sent down a connected powerline to eventually end up at a power concentrator (or whatever it is that gathers all the electricity collectively produced by all the generators), which is then sent out to people's homes to power their computers so that they can read/.;)
All this I remember from seeing that guy who originally invented it on tv, months and months ago, heh, I'm sure there's a website somewhere on the web that explains the whole process though:)
Now there are wave-powered electricity generators.
If a large enough pool was designed to produce big enough waves, with enough wave-powereed generators in it, and it theoretically produced more power than it cost to generate the waves, it ccould potentially be an INFINIT supply of electricity!
Provided of course that the wave generator is connected to the generated electricity in a circular circuit.
With backup batteries that it could charge up, itself, attached for emergency redundancy.
Iif the power-line between the wave generator and the wave-powered generator konked out, the batteries could power the wave generator until the power-line is restored, not to mention that the wave-powered generator recharges the battery while it runs, so it would last probably more than long enough for the repairs to be made!
Ooh the possibilities...no more coal plants and no more nuclear plants...
The only thing we'll have to worry about, with wave-powered generators will be effects on the aquatic life...
I can't quite remember when it was (but I know it was at least several months ago now), I remember seeing on tv that the wave-generated electricity was originally thought of and designed by a young caucasian university student who had entered his invention and won the last National Science Competition (or something like that...), he had won a grant to further research and develop his proof-of-concept. I specify caucasian strictly because I wonder how on earth it got to portugal from his hands.
I hope for his sake and his future scientific career that his idea wasn't stolen, I mean heck, the guy was in his early 20s!
That is so rediculous and typical of the american governmental god-complexed ego, instead of developing weapons for space superiority, how about making space travel and the inhabiting of other planets possible first? When traffic jams become common-place in space, THEN worry about attaching laser-guided photon torpedos to everything!
This may be the case for you, but what about all those poor folks who would (as the article said) prefer to be a blue badge as opposed to an orange, not only this, but when you say that you would expect it to treat it's employees better, this is understandably true on paper, but what about in terms of respect between co-workers, and blue and orange badgers? All human beings, yet the "contractors" are treated as underlings, outsiders, outcasts, and people who just don't belong.
I've occasionally considered working at Microsoft, but considering how they treat their contractors, screw that idea.:| That's nowhere near being a happy work environment.
Although IE is buggy as all hell, it's got a couple things that I wish Mozilla had, like when you middle click and can go up and down a 10k text file in 2 seconds flat, though I love Mozilla's tabs et al, I hope Mozilla developpers impliment the middle-click scrolling soon, most every windows app can do it except Mozilla!
I hafta admit that even with something as simple(?) as a random number generator, can somebody sum up exactly how this is done, and if a RNG's source-code were decompiled, could every number it produced be predicted (no matter how complex the algorythm used to produce the numbers) ahead of time?
I'm wondering because I once heard of a mathematician who stood by one of those big lotto machine things in a casino, after a full morning of jotting down consequitive winning numbers, he bought his first ticket in the afternoon (having chosen his numbers carefully) and won the jackpot, he continued buying tickets and winning every time until eventually security kicked him out because he was winning too much.
Whatever happens, you're better off getting a copy instead of robbing some innocent person's money and using it for your own benefit, and where did identity theft come into this?
Have you no shame?
Anyways, I'm done replying in this sub-thread, way off topic and just... ugh.
1) If you want a $500 OS, don't buy it, download/get a copy of it (that's what I do, heh). This method, although highly illegal, nobody cares about because it's so rampant and unstoppable that the worst the government can do is fine you (and if the sum value of the pirated software is enough, jail you or put you on probation for a short period of time).
2) Credit card fraud - ASSUMING you'll get caught (it's not that hard to find out who's doing it), insta-jail and nice fat fine + I'm guessing reimbursement of the totality of the spent money with the card in question, not to mention, the money spent isn't "free" but belongs to somebody else, so you're effectively screwing somebody out of their own hard-earned money.
If you don't like Metal working, you could try glass! a network/tech buff I know made a 'puter case entirely out of glass, and because it was meant as a server machine, he had 7 fans in it, 1 on the processor, 2 embedded into the top of the case, 2 in the back, and 2 in the front, and he even put switches for the 6 extra fans on the front of the case so that he could turn them on and off individually because they made SO much noise!
+ He added an LCD display displaying the CPU & overall temps, and he drilled holes in a line under the switches (1 for each switch) and put in LEDs so he would know which (if any) fans were turned on! I don't know if this might sound a tad advanced for you but either way, lemme tell ya, that was a HELL of a cool case to check out, especially in action!
*fiddles with the switches* Fans go on! *fiddles again* Fans go off! *fiddles some more* Fans go on!...
Seriously though, I don't know what you could be referring to about the mousewheel in IE, I love it, though I wish Mozilla had some of the features IE had, (like when you middle click and can scroll up and down a 10k text file in mere seconds), likewise, I REALLY wish Mozilla did this too, though I love the tabs (especially middle click to open a new tab, so much easier then right click + Open in New Window).

Try reading the article instead of posting stupid statements, the author of the article TESTED IT under Linux.

It doesn't take energy from waves;

I just realized something...
We already had electric wave generators.
Now there are wave-powered electricity generators.
If a large enough pool was designed to produce big enough waves, with enough wave-powereed generators in it, and it theoretically produced more power than it cost to generate the waves, it ccould potentially be an INFINIT supply of electricity!

Thankya for the tip-off! Now I have the best of both worlds in Mozilla :D
It's an add-on, and the link to get it was posted earlier.

Reloaded...lookin forward to it, despite what the nay sayers say, hope it's gonna kick ass :D

This is a REEEEEEEEAAAAALLY slow news day!
Credit card fraud is lame.

Geh, there's a bug in IE?!?!
Seriously though, I don't know what you could be referring to about the mousewheel in IE, I love it, though I wish Mozilla had some of the features IE had, (like when you middle click and can scroll up and down a 10k text file in mere seconds), likewise, I REALLY wish Mozilla did this too, though I love the tabs (especially middle click to open a new tab, so much easier then right click + Open in New Window).
