It's a US $2.6 billion project that is expected to play host to (hold on to your hats) 60 million amateur and professional chess followers annually.
That's a lot of chess players, considering some of the best known tourist attractions don't even get those kind of numbers annually.
Do we even have that many chess players worldwide?:)
For the record, I've had a Belkin 54g AP that has worked flawlessly. Not only have I never experienced such results as you describe, but it works better than competing products produced by Linksys and D-Link.
Maybe you just received a bad unit, or I received a rare good one?
back in my day we moved our water molecules by hand. Both ways, UP HILL! You kids and your newfangled technology. What ever happened to old fashioned elbow grease?
Joking aside, it seems this actually does have some practical uses such as reducing the time and resources required performing tests during drug development.
The same thing that would happen without the system...the other people either 1) Stop, 2) Stop, and help move your vehicle if necessary or 3) Drive right into you because they weren't paying attention.
Something tells me such a certificate would be about as credible as having a 419 scammer send "proof" that they are Nigerian businessmen needing your help.
Everyone knows the REAL reason a followup flight is required within two weeks. It's so that the Vulcans can detect the flight, as they will only be surveying on our system for two weeks.
How exactly does a new wall of monitors lower crime? Are these monitors secured to the wall in some new way to prevent theft?
All joking aside, how does this lower crime? If a Bigger, Better display helps lower crime, doesn't that imply that they are currently allowing things to slip through the cracks because they can't manage their data?
How is this offtopic? The story mentions a bark translator...and the poster wants a klingon translator instead.
Personally, I think a klingon translator would be more useful...
In my eyes, cell phones are starting to follow the path much like ICQ. They originally started out simple and functional...then it turned into a race to see how many useless features could be packed into it--rendering it mostly useless.
Now I know who to sue for permanent hearing loss from those annoying shrieks and beeps in those decoy files. Maybe I'll send them a nice Beach Boys CD filled with brown noise...
I'm well aware of the fact that portage compiles the dependencies as well, thank you for assuming my level of stupidity.
Although, I'm sure you also realize that apt-get installs binary packages...which isn't the same as compiling source.
As for uninstalling...ehh...I can't really think of the last time I actually had to uninstall anything...probably because I only install what I absolutely need and it *never* gives me any problems!
If I sound like a commercial its probably because I 1) am being paid to like Gentoo, or 2) Genuinely like it.
Funny how all the Debian zealots that seem to oppose Gentoo (Notice I didn't say ALL DEBIAN ZEALOTS) seem to rant and rave like children...
I've been a Gentoo user for about 9 months, and it certainly has a promising future regardless of direction.
The portage system takes one of the best features of FreeBSD and actually *improved* on the idea rather than creating a poorly ported system. Decided you want to try out a few optimizations to see what your server likes best? Just 'emerge -e world' and you've got yourself a freshly recompiled system. Dreading the release of 2004.2? No sweat...Gentoo isn't like other distros (read: Redhat/Fedora) where upgrading remotely is a nightmare...just update the system through portage and it's essentially the same system. No need to worry about how you're going to upgrade your hosting servers to the newest release or worry that it will come to an EOL and you're no longer getting your juicy security patches.
It seems the most common complaint is the time it takes Gentoo to compile anything. The flexibility this system provides is well worth the extra few minutes rather than installing *.deb or *.rpm files and entering dependency hell.
Of course, the whole idea behind key strength is rather moot if the user gets careless with his keys/passphrase.
Unfortunately, crypto is only as strong as the user(weakest link)
While it's not always comforting to know these things can be factored, at least we can take comfort in knowing that *most* hackers/spooks don't exactly have a 100 node server farm laying around just dying to crack your keys.
Of course, unless you're the NSA and measure their servers by acres...
....Does anyone else hear some spooky voice saying 'Must Spawn More Overlords!'
Maybe this is all just a mass coverup to crashing alien craft. The numbers of crashed alien vessels has increased to the point where we need to make sure we have enough high alt. blimps cruising around so that we can claim one crashed!
Sometimes I wonder if all the distro zealots have stopped to realize this one simple fact:
Every distro is using OSS. Yes, it may be tweaked and patched here and there..but beneath all the branding and logos...it's STILL the same software.
[Of course, I'll throw in my 2 cents as well. I've used both Debian and Gentoo. Honestly, Gentoo is my path to take...I now run it on 3 servers [1 is production] and a firewall and once they're set up..they just run. Not to mention extremely easy to update. ]

Don't you mean STEAMing pile of poo?
After seeing the debates on how big something has to be to be considered a moon, I think a trip to Intercourse is likely a good idea.

I suppose DDoS'ing a girl is a pretty good way to give her a virus.
The danger here is that the "grid" can also infect the attackers with a virus as well....scary!

I believe the proper line would have been either...
In Soviet Japan...plants speak to you!
OR

"For once, we have a concrete example to point to when citing the merits of P2P."
Maybe, but this also gives the government one more reason as to why P2P is evil and should be banned, don't you think?
Yes, but what about the stuff that matters?

I think those crews were merely trying to remove the paint from the surface, not completely obliterate both the paint and the wood surface.
That would be like burnings ants with a giant fresnel...oh....damn....

Yes, yes...let the distro wars begin.
emerge sync && emerge -uvD world
Although, there are about a few dozen different ways to do the same thing..
man emerge (very informational)

Call me when this new veggie can make my penis bigger.
Although, you'll have to prove to me that it works better than the few dozen brands of pills and creams that I get offered to me daily in my inbox.
