While driving through Spokane on the way to the Silverwood theme park, I passed a truck on the main highway that stated "fissionable nuclear material", painted in big letters on the side of a semi trailer. Sure, they cart them around, but WHY? And why was the loading crew able to mount the weapons? and why did the weapons officer not get on the horn and ask WTF? This whole thing smells of something not quite right. I thought the military ran on well specified rules, Especially regarding Nuclear weapons. I guess we should be afraid.

Your name pretty much defines Moller's little scam. The Ginsu knives sold on TV since the 80's were over-hyped, cheap and failed to deliver on any promise. The company eventually went broke a few years ago. One thing ginsu had over Moller was that they actually shipped a product.
Someone should step up and offer a prize for "working" flying car, I'm pretty sure Moller won't even try to compete.
I've been watching Moller since 1993. A co-worker purchased a "informational packet" with exactly the same information and vehicles he is shilling today.
I have seen applications that are well written, understood and maintained and are 30 years old.
I suffered through the rewrite of a well known, commercial revision control application we used
to maintain our code. Originally in C, it was rewritten in Java with horrible results.
Our checkout times went from a few minutes to 10 minutes for a full checkout. All our custom tools
no longer worked, but the interface looked fabulous.
Frankly, I'll take a text console based application over some bloated "modern age" crapware any day.
I would guess the number of photons would be several+ orders or magnitude below the displayed video. Given the compression and the speed and photon economy of the signal.
But I may be wrong.
I thought IBM did this back in 1970 with twinax. I know I did this with coax for a good 500 feet in 1998 (it was a demo at a airport). Why is this news and why would you need to do this now? Is display hardware, wireless or local fiber networking that expensive that you need to buy a 10 year old solution to solve your ill planned design?
Laws change. You like gay porn? Maybe some shemale hardcore action? Are the actors a little young (18)?
How about downloading movies, TV or MP3s? Do you look at anarchist sites? PETA, ALF and ELF will probably
get you on the watch list, even if you think their stuff is BS. Everything you type that goes over the net,
every phone call, every fax, every communication is being monitored. The trick is not tripping a gate
in the NSA spy machine. When the wind changes, all that information will be available to hunt you down.
It's hard to get the errata for intel's processors when your a post SI test engineer, working for intel. Marketing seems to keep a tight fist on bad news.
I'd mod you down if I had any mod points. Beowolf Karma whoring for -1.
I wouldn't really mod op down. But, Is everybody drinking? With the talk of spinning out of control, remote piloting (why not?), the choice of CPU and my self induced bed spins. I feel like i'm riding that thing into a burnout right now.
When was the last time you saw a red led that wasn't a fault light? And when does the realm of the freaking blue led end? Somebody should invent a robot that removes blue leds and replaces them with something that isn't so annoying.
i can burn these "virtual trees" in my wood stove and keep warm?
Virtual trees, for a phony world, behind a sheet of glass. Servers and hosts eating power. Ya, that will help the world. Each tree takes a little bit more power to compute and render.
You have obviously never seen a flock of free range chickens foraging for bugs. They are brutal and violent, both to their prey and each other. Roosters will even attack dogs, cats and humans.
At 22K miles out, the small mass of the bird, limited station keeping fuel, and actually hitting another satellite would be beyond any technical skills available to terrorists and limit any collateral damage to other satellites. Maybe I'm wrong.
I don't know about the process side of Intel, but the engineering side uses a yearly process named FOCAL (ya, like that old DEC language) that pits employee against employee with a cut-throat review process graded on a curve. The curve assures the group has a minimum of top achevers and a number of "shape up or ship out" unfortunates, even if the whole group consists of A+ workers. This keeps the crew in terror and pay raises to a minimum. And no, I was just a contractor and didn't go through that crap.

NSA Standard? The NSA didn't exist publicly until sometime in the 60's. Whatever "standards" they have are red herrings, back doors or secret.
Dude, This is slashdot, Not even the 5th-grade.

Wow, I didn't think anybody that could use a keyboard still defended the GOP. I salute you!

I have a space cadet keyboard, and the Symbolics XL1200 it's attached to. Good for -100 spouse HP.

Which explains why POTS costs about $16+change per line.

You totaled a perfectly great joke by explaining it.

When I contracted with Intel, auto deletion after 30 days was SOP.
