Well, you wouldn't want to be testing weapons in space very often. The more you blow shit up, the more "space junk" you leave behind. Eventually, that stuff will come flying back and sandblast the shit out of your own satalites along with everyone elses.
I'm curious to know what the rate of orbital decay is for space junk as it's manual method or removal is not an option.
You know what this means right? This means CYBER WAR!!! Seriously, all the white-hat and black-hat hackers need to find these websites and shut them down. The more sites us nerd/geeks find and shut down, the less likely *governments* (US, UK, Canada...etc) will take this seriously and impose restrictions on our own freedom.
Fuck Bin Ladin and his followers. Fuck em all. Time for a preemptive cyber attack.
Tell that to my 97 Saturn SC2. I often find a mix. Most of the time it's metric. For example, the brake system uses metric bolts as does the oil drain plug. However, the top engine mount was not metric. I double checked my sockets and made sure the nut wasn't "rounded off". Sure enough, it was standard.
Interestingly, when I replaced the mount, I was given two new studs and bolts to go with the new thread design. Difference: They were metric. Strange...maybe it was cheaper to use up the standard bolts due to over-stock in the supply chain. I dunno other then that.
Why not just have split signs? One half can be in MPH and the other KPH. Think of it as a training mode. People can look at the two readings and get a general idea of scale. Also, as we are weaned off of the standard system, we can eventually use signs that are just KPH.
Notice there's absolutely nothing about any part of your name being encoded in your SSN
You see, that's your problem for not reading correctly. I said "It's your second name in numerical format now..." I never said anything about encoding. What I DID state was that your second name in American society is your SSN. Hence, a name in numerical format.
No, we are not "stubborn". And yes, the standard system SUCKS. The reason we haven't moved to metric is that we have too much momentum built up in society for anyone to switch over. What needs to happen in America is a migration. This is slowly being done, but it will take many more generations beyond me.
I was tought the metric system in grade school. However, I only use it personally when working on cars. Most of the time GM will have a mix of standard and metric bolts these days.
The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was designed precisely to terrorize the Japanese in to capitulation. Those targets had military targets within them but it is a simple fact that their intent was to kill civilians in large numbers to enhance the terror, or they would have picked military targets not in the middle of cities.
It's rather morbid and sick to justify mass death of innocent civilians. However, one must look outside the box to see the bigger picture at hand. Basically, the death of these civilians were the "sacrificial lamb" needed to end the war and save more lives in the long run. Even though this solution was brutal, it was effective none the less.
You know of the Social Security number right? Now, try getting a loan from a bank, getting a new car, house, cable/teleco service, water, electricity....etc.
Fact is. You SSN *IS* your identifier. It's your second name in numerical format now....of course, it was explicitly stated that it was not be used as such when SSN was first introduced. But....
Your lucky. Most managers would just let you continue your call to the Attorney General's office.
Anytime you work in a corporate enviroment, you have little wiggle-room in what can and cannot be done. Basically, most managers are still tied to a bureaucratic process. In fact, a friend of mine was a manager at Best Buy. According to him (who just finished reading your post), he would have also given the number to the corporate legal dept had you asked. Basically, it's an SEP.
You sir, win this months grammar Nazi award. Congrats!
Seriously. Slashdot should have an official "grammar Nazi" title for a select few. Their job is to go around and post GIF images of flashing red and blue siren lights (like on the drudge webpage) every time a poster is in need to be made an example of. While were at it, lets add some siren sound effects too.
"WWweeerrrrrr Woooohhhhwooooohhhhwoooohhh. WARNING...WARNING gramar alart! You will now be forced to rape your sister, shave your dog, and suck the blow from your own masturbation"....or some such shit.
I'll go a step further. Rather then a wireless DOS attack, just setup a 2.4Ghz jamming device and hide is somewhere. Better yet, plug in an outside outlet hidden in the bushes.
Seriously, not being able to hack is one thing. But preventing functionality via spitefull means is quite another...and basically a "give-in".
I just updated my Linksys WRT54GS router to support WPA2. So officially, it's now 802.11i. I also had to get the updated broadcom wifi drivers from HP to support WPA2 on my Acer notebook.
Now, I'm running WPA2 with a random 63 character key in hex mode with an SSID called "Hackme". Lets see them bastards get around that one. Muahahahaahha
Simple, because Slashdot gains readership through controversy. While a great deal of the subjects posted is warranted for controversy, this issue does not given the obvious as you so mentioned.
Where is the honor and dignity of journalism these days?
Oh please!! Fact is, nature is nature. As such, they will continue to breed and roam the wild which includes our cities. We might as well shelter "stray" birds and rodents while were at it.
By default, all animals are unwanted when it comes to domestication. Breeding is nothing more then controlled domestication as seen fit by society. Regardless whether we breed animals or not, there will ALWAYS be a population of them in the wild.
Because you live in an appartment, it's very common to see quite a few wireless routers online around you. For example, I can detect at least eight. As such, you will have a very high SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio). The best thing you can do at this point is to set your router to a different channel.
Channels go from 1 through 11. The only channels that do not overlap are 1, 6, and 11. Basically, pick any one of the channels farthest away possible near you for the best signal.
Your best bet is not to manage BT traffic. Just let it be. Meanwhile, set QoS in your router for applications that you know and what ports they use. For example, keep port 80 in the highest priority. Regardless of what ports BT uses, you'll be damn sure browsing the web will get you first dibs on the bandwidth. At least...in theory. I haven't any "real world" experience to speak of, but good luck none the less.
Basically, QoS sets priority based on traffic through each port. It can also alow UDP traffic to get first access regardless of application. But as for application, unless you know what ports or their ranges are, setting up a priority isn't going to help you.
Basically, the only way to throttle back BitTorrent traffic is if you have a router that can do "packet shapeing". As I know it, packet shaping actually sniffs the header/footers of each packet to determine the application they belong too. How it exactly works or how you define the profile of each application to be aware of is beyond my knowledge. Perhaps someone else can fill us both in. I'm curious to know.
As for BitTorrent itself, I always limit my upload rate so as to not both down websurfing to a crawl. Because I'm limited to 48KB (384 kbit/s) for upload, I set the BT application to throttle back all traffic to 32KB. The remaining upload is left for my browser and other applications the room for acknowledgement transfers.

Why is it even an issue. If that tree was dropping shit on my driveway, I would be up at the butt-crack of dawn and saw that fucker off. :)
And too bad if the tree dies, it wouldn't be my problem because it's not my tree *grin*.
"nothing smells better then the burning of 2-stroke oil in the morning"
Thats NEVER going to happen as long as Ballmer is still employeed.
Reason: Pure 100% politics.
Add that to Wiki

Ya sure. It's called living in freaken America your whole life.

The sick-sad-truth is often unavoidable. But the fact is that an extreme problem calls for an extreme solution.
It's just too damn bad that we as the human race allow ourselves to wind up in such situations in the first place.
A bitter pill to swallow, indeed.

More to the point, I think what he is trying to say is that it the extra training cost out weighs the loss in revenue via fraud.

I WANT to be hacked. I want to see how quickly WPA can be cracked with AES and TKIP enabled with a group renewal key length of 10 minutes.
If someone can actually hack this scheme, then fuck it. Wireless will NEVER be secure.

Rather then having a customer download a new brower, why not design a downloadable ActiveX plug-in that actually fixes the rendering problem.
Note: I'm not a programmer. I'm just throwing out an idea if it's possible.
