Seriously, while there's no security change by getting users to upgrade from IE6 to IE8 (with respect to this flaw), there's a massive net gain in getting another IE6 off the streets. Thank you Microsoft, for using every means possible to move users away from IE6.
Seconded, PHP.net/manual is the best programming language manual I've ever seen. At Christmas all I ask Santa for is a Python manual that's as good as PHP's.
Pedantic point, but it's likely that the participant took amphetamine (speed), not amphetamines (MDMA et al). I don't know of any amphetamines that would be beneficial to gaming.
For anyone interested, in my extensive research:
Cannabis makes you better at shooters, especially Counter-Strike.
Speed makes you better at racers and shooters to a small extent.
Alcohol makes you better at racers but not shooters (go figure).
You don't need ruby when deploying, and the code you write is javascript. Sproutcore uses ruby to make life more convenient while developing, but it is a pure-javascript framework.
Oh please for the love of god don't include any of that Ruby shit's concepts/methodologies into your work - I was really excited about this until I read your post.
Your son is a smart cookie - it is a sonic boom. This is why most silencers on rifles depicted in films/games are completely wrong. Suppressors only soften the sound of the gunpowder explosion, however most rifles shoot bullets which travel at supersonic speeds. The sound of the sonic boom is what most people associate with a gunshot. That's why it sounds like a crack.
Rubbish, everyone I know still finds file sharing more convenient. Even before I switched to private trackers, eMule and the like are still more able to get me what I want between now (9:31pm) and when the shops open.
On a more personal note, the kind of music I want to listen to - progressive & breaks - can't even be found on most high-street stores. Even going downstairs to get my wallet constitutes unreasonable effort compared to P2P. As I work from home, the same applies to anything that involves leaving the house.
The USN is also trying to find guidance systems that can survive the G forces in the hope of having some minimal guidance. Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but I did a lot of research on railguns in the past and I believe that the ammunition is almost instantly vaporised by the current flowing through it.
Regardless of this - and I don't mean to be skeptical - but I really don't think any electronics are going to survive being accelerated to over 2 KM/s while carrying 3 million amps.
As someone mentioned below, I'm referring to when the cutting needle records a loud section following a quiet section and distorts the wall of the quiet bit. Actually it can also work in reverse, creating a post-echo as well.
I don't want to go in to it now, but there is a massive laundry list of problems with vinyl. A bit of research brings up bizarre phenomena such as pre-echo and warbling, and it has severe problems with fidelity and stereo separation. Your record sounds worse the further towards the inside that the needle travels!
My personal vendetta against vinyl stems from crackle. I have lots of MP3s which have been ripped from vinyl, and you can always tell because crackling (dust on the track) is very difficult to eliminate in a practical manner. I have a high quality audio system so I can hear the crackle very clearly. The first time I noticed it I thought my speakers had developed a severe fault before I realised it was a vinyl rip.
High-end audio is not about the perfect source, but I'm afraid vinyl just falls too far short.
The main methods of taking drugs are: Ingestion, insufflation (snorting), inhalation and injection.
With ingestion, the chemical is absorbed through the digestive system. When insufflated, it is absorbed via the mucus membrane at the top & back of your nasal cavity. Inhaled drugs are absorbed through the lungs, and injection needs no explanation.
The difference is usually a duration/intensity trade-off based on how quickly the chemical enters the bloodstream in its entirety. I listed them above with the longest duration on the left and the highest intensity on the right. This is usually the deciding factor in administration for drug users, however some drugs are not suitable for some methods for various reasons. For example, MDMA (ecstasy) is particularly painful to snort, amphetamine has a longer tail-off period when ingested (making sleep difficult) and obviously you'd find it difficult to snort cannabis. You can usually snort nearly any water-soluble powdered substance.
Some drugs also have different effects when administered differently. Ketamine is much more of a tranquilliser when ingested than when snorted (when it is a more enjoyable dissociative). Cocaine acts as a (powerful) local anaesthetic making it well-suited to insufflation, whereas if you rub it into your gums you lose all feeling in your mouth. MDMA has a "threshold" dosage for its main effect making it unsuitable for absorbing through the gums as gauging the dosage is tricky.
I should point out that whereas the summary implied inhaled drugs are "snorted", this is incorrect. Inhalation is different to insufflation - I would be impressed to see someone get a monkey to bosh a fat line of charlie.
you better have had that technology LONG before the ray hit the galaxy to make it out in time... Not really. They could have detected it long before it. I believe you can observe these bursts directly, and if you can't, there are other ways in which they could have known about it.

+1 for Rez.
I would also count Silent Hill 2 as an artistic masterpiece.
What's wrong with another iteration? I like consoles just the way they are. More power means more capabilities, bigger worlds, more detail... better.

Everyone I know calls them "Lion" batteries
Yup it's true: http://www.greenpeace.org/international/news/harp-seal-hunt
Amen - the shaky camera ruined it for me, and makes it unwatchable on IMAX.
No gapless; no interest

MDMA (ecstasy) makes you awesome at Tony Hawks.
Fucking Google it.
This can also be accomplished by brushing your teeth with an electric toothbrush.

Did you even try the demo? On my dual-core Opteron with 4 gigs of RAM it was *painfully* slow.
Which browser were you using? On my XP3500 with 2gig on FF3 it wasn't slow at all. Faster than a lot of these web-apps.
They do.
I'm so sick to death of this "$4 for a gallon", my heart fucking bleeds.
Come live in the UK for a while.
Here here! I've been Googling this one for a few days, tricky to search for though. Let me know if you find out, please?

You cannot silence supersonic bullets (yet).

Vinyl is just terrible, we need to move on.
