Go have a look at distributed.net to see how effective thousands of computers are at breaking RC5 encryption with a 72 bit key. So far it's been going for 5.5 years or so and is at 0.495% of the keyspace http://stats.distributed.net/projects.php?project_id=8
This is only a 72 bit key by brute force. Try breaking AES 256, I dare you.
Did you see their one about the worst 10 places to work? One was digg because they had spray paint graffiti on the walls and beer in the fridge, or there were people sleeping at their desks etc. Their pictures for Microsoft were of a conference and not even an actual Microsoft office.
Maybe not for everything but it'd be stupid not to try and get off of oil as much as possible. Natural gas is used all over in manufacturing. Melting steel & all that uses tons of fossil fuels. I don't know what else there would be available to do that if we ever ran out. Flying an airplane on electricity is not feasible at all unless it had it's own nuclear reactor.
Meant to also add that the person is at least 50% to blame. People seem to know they shouldn't eat at burger king all the time but they still do because of laziness in not wanting to make their own food or just because they like it and to hell with the future. Everyone lives for the now and satisfying whatever temptation they have at the moment and to hell with their future. They'll all end up on 10 different medications for blood pressure, cholesterol and type 2 diabetes or more.
You're somewhat correct. They recommend foods that are high in carbohydrates. You don't need anywhere near the amount of carbs that most people eat. Carbs are cheap thanks to governments supporting the corn industry and lean protein is extremely expensive in comparison.
It's all extremely common sense stuff. If you're a body builder like me you wonder why people don't get it at all. It's basically eating like we would have years ago with lots of protein and stuff as close to nature as it can get. Think raw oats and brown rice, chicken breast and lean beef. Not really touched by anything and pretty close to how it comes off the field(well maybe the beef is jacked with BGH and antibiotics which yes does suck). Don't forget to eat vegetables too. Broccoli is amazingly good for you, especially organic and the organic is not much more expensive where I live.
You don't have to be a body builder to eat lots of protein either. Don't be afraid of lifting weights and sweating at the gym. Most often I see women just doing cardio at a slow pace and hardly sweating or doing the machines with almost no weight. Yet they still have the dreaded cauliflower ass. Gaining 5-10 lbs of muscle would help them immensely in burning off that fat and no you won't look like a man. It takes a long time for even a man to gain a lot of muscle. Women don't have enough testosterone to gain huge amounts of muscle either.
Not necessarily. When you sleep you release growth hormone. Carbs(insulin actually) blunts this resulting in less or no growth hormone release which can affect your sleep and fat gain. Don't eat carbs before bed and you can have a normal GH release. Also eating late if you haven't eaten for a long time will usually cause you to over eat. If you ate lunch at 1PM and are eating dinner at 9PM then you will be really hungry and probably eat a lot more than you should. With almost no activity over the night time you are likely to store the huge amount of carbs that most people eat as fat. It's not as simple as calories in/out. Your body's insulin sensitivity varies throughout the day. In the morning to early afternoon you are most sensitive to insulin meaning your body is more efficient at using carbohydrates. Later in the day and at night you are less sensitive to insulin meaning more likely to gain fat when carbs are eaten at that time.
Possibly one of 5 total posts on this article and I don't expect anything more. Building your own PC can be fun if you're into that but just try getting a power supply that doesn't have 3 foot long cables so it can reach every area of your computer. There's nothing like cramming the extra wires into an unused space between your hard drive and the bay or the optical drive on the Mac. Yes I know you can get custom built PCs too but you're not getting those with the same fit and finish for $500. Everything is nicely custom fit and you don't have to worry about anything like that. At least as it stands now there is not much reason to worry about malware on the Mac. Set a good password and you're very secure. Until there's actual wide spread exploits in the wild for OS X there's not much reason to ever think about it. Yes there are exploits pretty frequently but they never spread in the wild. Couple that with good common sense of not downloading strange programs from crakz sites I never have to worry about viruses or spyware. People always say just you wait, it's coming soon, but it never actually happens.
Not at all. My brother is running a G3 233 MHz(yeah). While it's quite slow it's due to the small amount of RAM it has. Still good enough for basic usage. I'm running my Sawtooth G4 upgraded to 1.4GHz(from 400MHz) 1.25 GB RAM as a web/database/file server. It works just fine for this purpose and is actually pretty quick for web browsing etc. All running 10.4. While the G4 could run 10.5 I haven't upgraded yet. G3 could not but that's a really old machine. A machine as old as my G4 could not be running Vista today.
No you are wrong. They are throttling 3rd party ISPs. A 3rd party ISP has it's own connection to the internet and Bell only passes traffic from the subscriber over their ATM network and to the 3rd party ISP. Throttling 3rd party traffic over their ATM network does not save them any money due to peering.
You can't force all ISPs to provide faster upload speeds when Bell only offers technology going up to 8/1Mbps up/down. And that is a big UP TO because many places wouldn't be able to sync at that speed.
You can sue for everything but you would have to show how you are harmed by not being able to download torrents and other things. VPNs are sometimes affected so maybe you could win on that. However you also have to show that the party intended to breach the contract and if they are doing everything in their power to hold up the contract but can't because of some outside reason then you would not win.
Sure they do in a way. They don't pay Bell for access to the internet but they're still renting ATM access and gigabit links to their own data centers.
The throttling occurs to 3rd party ISPs who lease access to the Bell owned last mile. This is governed by the CRTC and Bell has to provide it. They implemented this throttling for traffic going to someone Else's network. That's the main problem is that they are interfering with traffic that is not theirs. It just has to travel over their ATM network but the contract is between the customer and the 3rd party.
Bell is paid by the 3rd party ISPs to carry this traffic and the amount they get for this is usually around 80% of what the 3rd party ISPs charge for monthly internet access. They say they are doing this because the network is saturated and all these 3rd party ISP customers are causing congestion. From their own numbers this isn't true and their networks is only at around 50% capacity. It's not clear if Bell is legally allowed to throttle or interfere with traffic going to 3rd party ISPs and especially that they did it without telling any of the other ISPs. What has happened with many other ISPs is that they have already bought dedicated bandwidth expecting the amount of traffic before the throttling. Bell implements the throttling and now they have a huge unused portion of bandwidth that they can't use. Also they are paying bell for many Gbps connections that they can't use due to this and Bell won't give them their money back. Instant profit for Bell.
The main checks are to see if your pitot tube(tells you air speed) is working and not full of junk, check your tires for wear, check brakes for leaks, check wings for dents or other damage, check your fuel to make sure it's actually full and your gauge is correct, check that your control surfaces move freely, check propellor for damage, etc. I'm not a pilot yet but these are most of the things you visually inspect. Tell me any computer that could do all that for you. You are right that if you just landed an hour ago that not much has changed most likely and you *can* skip the checks if you want. It's your life, just don't take up any one else if you crash or don't aim for people on the ground when you run out of fuel.
Who cares, that's not really your problem. They can parent their own child which includes monitoring what they're doing not just hoping technology will do it all for them.
Not many people used the Cocoa-Java bridge compared to Cocoa and even Carbon. There's not much point putting time into something like that. They shouldn't have promised 64 bit Carbon and then taken it away though. The writing has still been on the wall that they are moving to Cocoa APIs only in the future.
I really think you are pretty wrong on the customization aspect. It's not that hard to build your own template including CSS for all the different built in chunks of html it puts out.
I ported our website over to Drupal in about a day's time without really having much knowledge of creating my own themes using it. It's a simple website with only about 10 pages but I wanted the ability to have blog like functionality for posting news stories without having to manually edit all the php files or hacking something else together. It wasn't all that hard in the end and for most websites I can't think of much you couldn't do with it. There's even e-commerce plugins apparently although I don't know how good they actually are.

Britain also has national health care. I'd say for a lot of people that bumps it up higher than the US.
There is the airplane mode in the iPhone which shuts off all radios.
Bell and Rogers are separate already.

So how much data do you think headers and overhead actually is comparatively? It's still extremely expensive.
