LinkedIn spamming started before today, I know as we've got several from last week.
Today we started getting the netflix emails about 'lost in mail' disks for movies that haven't been requested and/or to users without netflix accounts.
Yes there is. The rope that keeps the tether attached to the post in a game of tetherball applies centrifugal force. In orbit, its gravity.
The argument that says there is no centrifugal force also implies there is no centripetal force as well.
Both are a name for a specific application of a different type of force in a specific configuration, neither refer to the actual 'force' itself, just how its interacting with other objects in its environment.
When you try to be so pedantic you typically make yourself wrong in the process.
So I'm guessing you've never used any modern security focused operating system.
We've had everything you've mentioned for years... probably 30 years or more.
The problem is, if you want to get anything done in a reasonable amount of time, you're going to turn all that stuff off. When you hook EVERY syscall things tend to get mighty slow. Go run some software in a profiler and you'll get a rough idea of just how shitty it performs in the real world.
Theres a reason general purpose operating systems don't do it, they want to accomplish more and can sacrifice security to do so. In other cases, security is more important than performance and so you end up with Trusted[BSD|Solaris|AIX|ect] where you can control things on a much more granular level.
Use less gas, get people moving, less space for parking, all that cool stuff.
So... instead of walking... you think it was better to use a mechanical device which consumes energy in an extremely inefficient way (compared to the human body) and is no more useful than walking alone.
Segway was a stupid idea for the lazy.
You could use roller skates or a bicycle and accomplish the exact same thing... only more efficiently and with no need to produce the additional pollution that goes with manufacturing batteries and electricity to power it.
Ahhh, fake sincerity... I'm sure they are very appreciative that some random person who actually knows absolutely nothing about the man says 'thoughts go out to his family'.
You might want to consider that people can fairly quickly distinguish the difference from someone like yourself and someone who actually cares.
You words have no value and are completely transparent.
For reference, what you are referring to is duct tape (used to seal heating and cooling ducts) in general and Duck Tape is a name brand of duct tape that came long after people who didn't know what it actually was kept calling it duck tape.
It really doesn't take that much processing power to keep the ISS in orbit, the 386 (or a handful of them really) is more than powerful enough to do the job.
There isn't any reason for them to switch to something else, what they have works, it works well, and they've learned EXACTLY how it works in the years they've been using them.
They want reliable and understood hardware. They also need hardware that they know can deal with the harsh environment.
Having dealt with far lower end processors than a 386 for use in UAVs I can safely say that the 386 has far more processing power than needed to do station keeping in orbit, especially since all it needs to do is what its told from the ground anyway, where far larger computers can be used to optimize its flight path in advance and simply uploaded to tell the onboard systems where to go and when.
Its not running Windows, or *BSD or Linux, it doesn't have the cruft and overhead of dealing with all the BS that we expect out of a modern general purpose OS.
What you say is so incredibly true its not even funny.
I had a friend that more or less did exactly that, he was slightly more polite than 'nice shoes, wanna fuck' but the conversation was never more than a minute long.
He pretty much could get laid any time he wanted, he just went through a LOT of women in the process, but he won often enough that you had to wonder if he didn't really have the right way to go about the process if you just wanted to have sex.
So? Most academics are so disconnected from the real world their opinion isn't really that valuable directly.
I'm not saying he's wrong in what you quoted, I'm just saying using people in academia as guide to living in the real world really isn't all that intelligent. They are unbalanced people with tunnel vision and a serious lack of ability to understand the way their little piece effects the world in general.
.what's to stop whoever is in the White House from 'disappearing' outspoken people they disagree with, without breaking the law?
I'm just curious as why you think that today is any different than 50 years ago, or 100 years ago. They could always 'disappear' people if they wanted to, the Internet doesn't help or hinder it. If you think anything you have ever done on the Internet can't be traced backed to you, you are more than likely 100% wrong.
Even TOR is traceable if you know what your doing and are a large enough entity... GUESS WHAT... the government does and is.
You've had a false since of security since birth due to your own ignorance. This doesn't change anything really.
Which is more or less what the article is. Yes there is SOME proof to back it up, but 99% of the 'proof' about black holes in general is really just theory.
Astrophysicists will make shit up to prove themselves right before they'll bother to look for real proof. At this point the theories are more or less freaking useless because they are based on theories based on theories based on theories based on theories. They just start making shit up so their theory fits.
They need to back up about 50 to 100 years and start proving some of those theories rather than just inventing shit to fill in the wholes where their previous theories made no sense.
When EVERYTHING you do is theoretical, its not science, its fantasy or fiction. Its not research if the only place it is confirmed to exist is in your head.
Seriously... 'we think black holes emit a kind of radation, and we know what its like because we created it in a lab before ever actually observing it in nature.'
Funny, I thought we were still in the HTML4/Transitional phase from HTML3... yes, I know thats not the case, but it seems to me that the sites I prefer as far as their usability and aesthetics aren't really using anything new.
And you're ignoring the fact that Symbian is dropping like a rock everywhere.
Its not dead yet, but its certainly got some form of cancer and needs treatment quickly.
Will this save it? No, this is a direct indication that Nokia sees whats coming though. That means they are fully aware they are getting their butts kicked.
Its not too late for it, they still DO have massive amounts of devices out there, but they have to do something to stop the leak, otherwise in a couple more years they will be irrelevant everywhere, not just in the US.
:( After I finally realized how to use religion, it became probably my most effective war machine. After finally getting the hang of religion and spies I could roll over a lot of people... sad to see my cheap win go away.
Oh well, guess at least it'll be new this way rather than a rehash.
That'll happen right after you stop carriers from having control over what uses their network...
In the US, thats going to require an act of congress cause the carriers aren't going to give up control on their own and will fight it and make it work as poorly as possible.
Why don't they focus on making their browse not suck. Its rapidly replacing IE as a shitty browser to use. Chrome whips its ass unless you're an extension junky.
Sorry to piss in you firefox fanboy's cereal but Mozilla is just too disorganized and unfocused to continue to be relevant to the web.
Its turned into this silly group of guys who seem to do whatever the fuck they want and pretend someone cares other than themselves.
The dangerous decay has long since passed, it falls of really quick and requires real close proximity to enough material to get something to happen.
On the other hand, it doesn't take much getting into your body, collecting in your pituitary gland (might be the wrong gland but its one of them) and wreaking havoc.
They'd have to get in the containment building OR ingest a lot to be dangerous.
For reference, people worked at the planet every day until 2000, 24 years after the event happened and these people were within a few hundred meters of the containment building, not wondering around the woods several miles away.
Its not NEARLY as bad as its made out to be. Radiation is something people freak the fuck out about but its not nearly as dangerous as half the crap you have under your sink.
This also isn't new news either, studies have show how animal and plant life were adapting in 96.
I can prove 1+1 != 2 too, but I won't bother cause I don't want to join you in looking stupid and failing to understand the subject matter.
and show us how you are right and NASA is wrong.
Hahahah yea, NASA NEVER makes a mistake... like not converting units from one measurement system to the other or launching when they shouldn't or any number of a million other things they have done wrong.
Its BOUND to happen because they do A LOT of things and ALMOST ALL of them are done right, but its pretty fucking stupid to say 'its NASA there is no why they are wrong'
Slashdot Mirror
You do realize this current round isn't actually coming from LinkedIn right? Nor does it actually link back to their website?
Ban their domains 18 ways to sunday, you'll still get the messages.
LinkedIn spamming started before today, I know as we've got several from last week.
Today we started getting the netflix emails about 'lost in mail' disks for movies that haven't been requested and/or to users without netflix accounts.
Way to notice whats going on guys.

Velcro was designed for its exact purpose. Go ask NASA.
Microwave overs were created for their exact purpose after someone realized that microwave energy could be used to heat things up.
These devices weren't created then found a niche, they were created for a specific purpose from the start. Nice try though.
So ... instead of walking ... you think it was better to use a mechanical device which consumes energy in an extremely inefficient way (compared to the human body) and is no more useful than walking alone.

It has a plan. It has a purpose.

Thats not fucking science, its fantasy.
I'm pretty sure everyone that didn't get vaporized in New Jersey would consider this a good thing, Americans and Afghanies alike.
Funny, I thought we were still in the HTML4/Transitional phase from HTML3 ... yes, I know thats not the case, but it seems to me that the sites I prefer as far as their usability and aesthetics aren't really using anything new.
You left out the part where the carriers tell you to go fuck yourself when you want to sell a stock android phone that they can't lock down.
And you're ignoring the fact that Symbian is dropping like a rock everywhere.
Its not dead yet, but its certainly got some form of cancer and needs treatment quickly.
Will this save it? No, this is a direct indication that Nokia sees whats coming though. That means they are fully aware they are getting their butts kicked.

Oh well, guess at least it'll be new this way rather than a rehash.
You can, its called talking, people do it every day. You don't even need a phone.
That'll happen right after you stop carriers from having control over what uses their network ...
In the US, thats going to require an act of congress cause the carriers aren't going to give up control on their own and will fight it and make it work as poorly as possible.
Have you seen the CableCard mess?
Why don't they focus on making their browse not suck. Its rapidly replacing IE as a shitty browser to use. Chrome whips its ass unless you're an extension junky.

Yes, the radiation only kills the predators, and magically doesn't touch all the other animals.
There very well could be some terrible apocalypse in the next few seconds that would wipe out all human life on Earth.
Only idiots believe something is going to end all life on Earth.
Yep, thats why life has survived all sorts of things that would undoubtably wipe use out of existence.
Its just way easier to get hits if you try to scare people into reading your stories because OMG ITS THE ALST DAY ON DA EARTH, mang.
The dangerous decay has long since passed, it falls of really quick and requires real close proximity to enough material to get something to happen.
