DnB Nord. In the paper it's labelled as being in Latvia. It's not so much a well-known Danish bank, as a Norwegian-owned bank that does business in Latvia, with its headquarters in Denmark... From their website:
Bank DnB NORD is owned by Norwegian DnB NOR. The bank, with subsidiaries and branches in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, profiting from the expertise and strengths of DnB NOR.
Bank DnB NORD offers a comprehensive range of quality financial products and services to households as well as businesses. The headquarters of Bank DnB NORD are situated in Copenhagen, Denmark.
It's been a while since I compiled a kernel in Gentoo, but as I recall "make install" will get you the kernel image copied to/boot and symliked to/boot/vmlinuz or somesuch. Even backing up the old symlink to/boot/vmlinuz.old.
So all you'd have to do is point the Grub config to/boot/vmlinuz, and you wouldn't have to touch it after a recompile.
Of course there were issues with new "make install"'s overwriting old ones, etc, but as I recall generally it worked quite reliably...
It has not yet become a big enough of a problem for the large sections of unused address by universities such as MIT and Harvard to be recalled.
Well actually, from TFA:
There is an old story that Stanford University supposedly has more IPv4 addresses than the entire country of China. At the beginning of the decade, this was true: Stanford had the entire 36.0.0.0/8 class A block, more than twice the less-than 8 million addresses that were given out in China at the time. Times have changed, however. Last year, China passed Japan and took the number-two spot behind the US. This year, organizations in China obtained another 50.67 million addresses for a total of 232 million. And Stanford is one of the very few organizations that has returned a class A block.
There is some research being done into bidirectional prosthetics. Kevin Warwick from Reading University in the UK has successfully implanted a chip in his own arm allowing him to control an external robotic arm and receive sensory input from it.
Well, it would not be the first time using a cracked version is less of a hassle than buying the game (HL2+Steam comes to mind), and I have yet to see a copy protection scheme that hasn't been broken...
That aside, I totally agree that the increasingly draconian copy protection is a very valid reason not to buy the game. I would hate for games to disappear entirely from the PC platform because gamers look to consoles for their gaming needs to avoid copy protection, though...
It looks like an IBM Thinkpad X Series laptop... And yes, they do come with Intel Extreme Graphics 2 GPUs...
They're pretty nifty, but a little too small for my taste... I know several people who have them, and I'd rather carry a slightly bigger laptop and get a full-size keyboard and a touchpad in return... YMMV of course...
Moore's Law doesn't apply to clock speed, but to the number of transistors in microchips. The number of transistors continues to rise exponentially like Moore predicted...
On windows XP there's a command line tool called 'shutdown', which will shut down the computer. It can even be used to remotely shut down another computer on the network.
In earlier versions of windows nt, this tool was part of a ressource kit, but in windows xp it is bundled with the OS itself.

Aha. Well, in that case I will get off your lawn immediately... ;)

Some of Warwick's work is pretty controversial (see e.g. various articles from The Register), but he does do some solid research.
Wikipedia has more details
Hmm, lets see:
...and...
I find your statements somewhat inconsistent...
Actually, I have what appears to be small bugs crawling under the surface of my LCD...

Ah, but with software it is much easier to get your hands on a preview version and try it out yourself... ;)

I'd hope so too, but from the other content on their site(s), I find that hard to believe...
If it is, it's a very bad one...
Actually, I gather some religious groups are quite happy about that as well. See this flyer (PDF) by the Westboro Baptist Church.
Personally, I'm baffled...

This turned up on Google :)
Perhaps his donkey did, though?
There's also a 802.11g-enabled version of this... :)

Same thing for Windows (2k at least)
