Cool so those Critical Industries and Government areas can be more easily isolated and thus made less secure? Thats what it sounds like to me but I'm certainly not knowledgable...
You all speculate on what it does, but I'm thinking maybe it does nothing.
I think in any case it's probably a red herring.
Either it did have a purpose which has been filled already, or it never had a purpose and was put there as a deterrent to the US, thinking we'd speculate that we'd better not bomb Moscow or there will be automatic retaliation...
If they found them guilty, then it would have been impossible for them to filter copyrighted stuff, making many people's lives easier.
"Sorry, we can't do copyright filtering without violating copyrights..."
Does this break shareware? IE: If you have a program that you have to pay money to unlock? It could be considered public if it's freely distributable I guess?
I have no idea about this sort of thing, but I would imagine that electric vehicles would do better in cold weather climates. At least you would not have to keep the motor running because it won't start if you don't...
They sort of are...at least the words in the news these days "BP...oil spill...overzealous cost cutting, etc."
I wouldn't really make the argument that NASA should be the only people doing this sort of thing though.
It has to be realized though that with more spaceflight will come more accidents. It's inevitable. The question is - Is it worth it? I would say yes.
Sorry but I don't want to give any control over what I do with my house to the electric company. It seems like a very bad precedent. Maybe a good incentive for people to go solar though.
I guess it's better than them being just locked up all the time maybe? At least they get some exercise. I agree with the elective thing though, and them generating energy is maybe better for the environment?
It all does bear some investigation, but it seems like a decent idea.
"InformationWeek is reporting that the Chinese government has declared a ban on the sale of virtual goods for real currency."
If worded exactly like that, does that mean that there will be no Korean MMOGs there? Those game companies themselves make their entire business model to sell virtual goods for real cash...
Some downsides - You have to clean solar panels regularly, and they're not very efficient yet. You have to keep them pointed directly at the sun as well. It takes a little while to recover the investment, since they're pricey for what they deliver.
Far be it from me to claim to be knowledgable about these things, but it seems to me the maintanance for wind turbines is far greater than solar panels though. With those, you need to service the motors and such.
I thought I read that the lightsabers and blaster bolts were made from some kind of vibrating filament.
Anyways, I think you've got it wrong about the light "shifting" because of heat. As far as I know, light doesn't do this, just the medium it's traveling through does. The heat is causing the air to shift, and the light passes through the air at different angles.
Who would profit from that? Sun? IBM? I doubt MS would gain much from it either as there are many zealots here. (On all sides of the fence really) I can't really think of a good reason for Slashdot to be a good place to pay people off...Sure it gets a lot of visitors but I doubt you are going to change anyone's mind by posting here.
Probably they mean 400 feet between skydivers. Not from the ground. 400 feet or less is the limit you can travel without a traditional pilot's license as I recall, so that would be pretty short.
I thought I read before that Starter Edition was the result of a lost anti-trust lawsuit in one of these countries...They HAD to make it but didn't really want to..
"REAL" science would probably not be interesting enough to be palatable to the masses. The (Discovery) Science Channel is probably the closest that you're going to get...

I forget which book it was from, but in one of the books I read, the settlers of a planet often used a "fast coral" plant to grow their houses...

I think they were talking about per song. It was about 50 megabyte per song.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Kart Rider aparently is big enough to have televised tournaments. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfjCBZ63HDo
How do they plan on keeping the thing stable enough to hit targets accurately 200 miles away at sea?
Made from cabron fiber. :)

It's a mispronunciation - you know, like he Git's the latest version.

Augh! CDEV was not a virus, it was another name for those startup things... Oh well, I guess it is kind of hard to keep arcane jargon straight. :)
I remember Several, init/cdev A, init B, etc.

I usually just say no, or give them a zip code thats different. Like 90210 or something.
