If you already have either the machines or the air con, and can't afford to replace the existing items, then that entirely dictates which side of this equation is your you.
Christ, you people always whine about "What if it was your mum?"
My mother isn't that stupid, shes a pretty switched on woman and doesn't fall for stuff easy. Secondly, *I* have already told her that she shouldn't put *ANY* sensitive personal data on the net. Practically the only places I've said she can do this is Amazon.com, Play.com and a holiday site she uses.
She doesn't use online banking
She doesn't type in here address/telephone number anywhere other than the above sites.
Are you saying that you haven't educated your parents? For shame!
The car analogy is pretty lame. I never heard of people installing spycams in a car to get you cc number.
Real world fraud is covered by common sense that everyone should have by now.
Err, sorry, but the law IS descriped only in terms that lawyers can understand. You go write the next contract you need and see how quickly you get laughted at.
Why should everything in the whole world be dumbed down for the lowest common denominator?
These people have to take responsibility for their online actions just like in real life
If they go giving away their CC details because they didn't understand the security warning about phishing (rubbish name by the way), then they really shouldn't expect to not get taken to the cleaners.
Would you give me your CC details in the street if I asked nicely? No? You Sure?
How about your National Security Number (Social Security Number for you yanks)? Why? Because its sensitive data and you don't want to get ripped off?
Then don't do it online without being aware of your actions.
That's what my math teacher always said, back in school. I'm sure he would extend that statement to include proofs, given that they are also just math.
What about Fermats last theorem? Fermat wrote in the margin of his note book that he had a proof, but it was too large to fit there, so he'll write it on the next page. Trouble was, the next page was missing from the book.
The modern proof for FLT took hundreds of pages of dense math and went through some math concepts that AFAIK hadn't even been invented in Fermats time.
What was Fermats proof (if it existed)? It would surely have been far more elegant than the modern version.
That doesn't make the modern version wrong, just less pure, I feel.
The problem with modern computer aided proofs is they allow the proof to become unwieldy and overly verbose, compared to what it would have to be if just a human produced it.
When your DVD player tells you "This operation is not allowed" when you try to skip commercials, it becomes pretty clear that DRM really stands for Digital Restrictions Management.
Right On Jon! I already paid for the DVD I don't see why I should be forced to sit though adverts after that.
Just let me navigate the content of my new DVD in the manner I choose thanks very much!
It is just a pity that the studios/player manufacturers are not going to listen to the public on this matter.
Everyones a critic! Besides, you'll never have to worry about it. The manufacturers will never allow the product to emit anything harmful for fear of a million half cooked geek lawsuits.

Here here!
Fair enough. Out of curiosity, whats this object with infinite circumference but finite radius?
...ever since seeing Runaway http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088024/
BWAAaaa haha
Does anyone see some light at the end of the tunnel for Sun?
It seems to me that they are in several type of trouble with no idea of how to get straight again.
Just my 2 pen'eth Pete

Wow thats depressing.

Like I said, greedy stupid people are alway going to get taken to the cleaners. I couldn't care less.
So take your pick. To make the servers cooler, either buy new more efficient servers or buy a whacking great air con unit.
Since the servers are the things that actually do the work, I'd just get feck off servers and a feck off air-con unit to keep it all happy!
Everyones a winner!

Rant Of The Angry Brit Over
Stop Taunting Me! Aaaahahaaa wwaaaaaaahhhh! Oh the pain!
Shame that our British version was ever so slightly less successful. *Sobs*
I'd love someone who could test it to get hold of a copy though.
Tantalising.

Such is progress I guess.
I didn't even have to hang around in the dark waiting for her to load up her secret PGP cracking software!
You, I and probably everyone else here on this forum are, to different degrees, gened up.
The general public isn't.
Most people are not involved with computers, especially the older generations and what they get told loudest, sticks
They have no frame of reference for it.
Yeah, the world makes me sad. Tis true.
garcia beat me to this quote but its so good it deserves to be quoted twice damn it!

Is it true hardware raid 5 or does it still use the CPU for xor etc? If its just a plain software implementation then those cards are pretty cheap.
Would you rather the case to get hot or your flesh? ;-)
No, it's not.
