You're mixing up your odds and your evens.
Don't you think not using it because the least significant bit in the number is a bit too much? Personally, I've had zero trouble with SP2. YMMV, of course, but it certainly seems no worse than the usual MS fare.

The End of Encryption?

Cryptography will die when the last human draws its breath.
Probably one human before that. The last human won't need encryption, will he?
Not sure about Vulcan and Romulan. The first few phrases of Klingon, though, were devised by Doohan for ST1:TMP. Okrand was given these and had to turn them into a fully-fledged language.
I can verify it. Check out the website for the James Doohan Farewell Convention held recently.
It says: We are pleased to announce that not only has the entire $15,000 dollars required for a celebrity to get their Star on the Walk of Fame has been raised, but also that the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has made their vote... and it is now official!
OMG. That actually sent shivers down my spine, and not in a good way.
Thrawn is (IMHO) quite possibly the best character in any of the SW books. Who would be up to the task of portraying him?
Yeah, I can understand you would be quite embarassed when your entire porn collection starts opening up every time that cute girl in accounting walks by.
Why is everybody so upset about this? Although it won't win a colour-scheme-beauty-pageant, it's not nearly the worst I've seen. Then again, what does beige have to do with IT? This particular colour doesn't look like the standard beige every computer case seemed to come in until a while ago (that would be truly unreadable) and I can't think of any other reference.
That's scary. How many times have you accidentally put something in a microwave? Not that many people accidentally nail stuff to a tree very often...
That said, it would've made a fun experiment.
Impress? Sometimes. Despite being Dutch myself, I can certainly say that the Netherlands never cease to amaze me with the decisions they make...
Come to think of it, that goes for any government.
I thought PAL was 720x576 (or 704x576) at 25fps and NTSC is 720x480 (or 704x480) at 30fps. So the numbers you specify are off a bit.
PAL: 720*576*25*1.5*90*60/1024^3=78.2GiB
NTSC: 720*480*30*1.5*90*60/1024^3=78.2GiB
(obviously identical, since 576*25==480*30).
Nah, you'd need 8193 (to beat Los Alamos).
Any thoughts on how you'd do the connection? If it's just the number of processors that matters, you might use Krazy Glue...
AFAIK, The STL implementation shipped with MSVC was made by a company called Dinkumware. The compiler has some problems with certain template code, but it has improved tremendously in the latest incarnations.
The lawsuit is vaporware #1? Really, I thought the top spot would've gone to SCO's irrefutable proof that millions of lines of copyrighted trade secrets have gone into Linux.
I'd say the chances were similar to hell freezing over, but that is not quite improbable enough. More like Microsoft open sourcing all of its code and releasing everything into the public domain.
Actually, the budget was $12M, (three times as much as WC3's budget). I don't know whether it did go seriously over budget. Perhaps it just wasn't as successful as the earlier installments. I quite liked it, though.
Reading the Groklaw transcripts, I can't help but wonder how much trouble the legal clerks will have in filing this. Does it go under "Courtroom drama" (dramatic is what it will be for SCO), under "Courtroom comedy" or "Poetic justice, the making of..."?
We all should send Darl McBride a nickel in an envelope. Not only will we get the satisfaction of slashdotting by snail mail, but he'll need all the charity he can get once IBM and Novell have waltzed over him.

there will probably be enough lag for it no to matter. Ping: Reply from cs.otherplanet.gx: bytes=32 time=114yrs TTL=31536000000
Pff... you need to do a better job of configuring the game. If you turned down most of the options, DOOM1 ran at a decent framerate on a 16MHz 386SX.

Cool! They've changed the speed of light!
Forget photon torpedoes. Gimme a transporter!

Hmmm... imagine the cooler on that wrist watch. Or on the human brain, for that matter. We'd be boiling out of our skulls if we had P4s in there...
How did you manage to waste 10 minutes, while you've posted your comment 8 minutes after the link appeared?
Whoopee, no more DirectX and ActiveX.

Dynamix was shut down by Sierra (Vivendi Universal), not EA. Same situation, different company.

But surely you did think it's a GUI, which is what the article is about.
