Nothing. Modern physics is unable to describe how electrons really work/interact with other subatomic particles in a way that makes sense. Which the orbiting isn't right, the shell model isn't right either...we're just not able to describe it yet. So, one model can be an effective description for certain purposes and others for others.
In this case, the Nuclear Shell Model describes a different model of the atomic nucleus that describes the quantum interactions in a manner that allows these types of measurements to be made.
And, you'd be surprised how much it costs to get by when you're the provider for a family. Once you're married and you have kids, your decisions are not yours...not should they be.
"the ideal way to teach children is by a tutor"
Every child learns somewhat differently from others. Some learn best in a large group lecture/suck-in-the-information model, some learn best by experimentation, and yes, some learn best with one-on-one tutor-style interaction. There is no such thing as the ideal way to teach children, there is only an ideal way to teach this singular child and that will never be exactly the same between two different children.
2% overhead PER SESSION. When you're talking about a server dealing with thousands upon thousands of simultaneous connections, that's a heckuva lot of overhead.

Read the New FAQ on the site. Here's a link. Look at the last question. They are not going closed source, they just haven't packaged it up yet and released it. They will.
Technically, the ICS SDK is out, which is more of a pre-release of the OS for developers so we can get apps ready for it. Until an actual device appears running ICS, I don't think I would say it is "out."
But what about somebody like MY DAD, he hears about linux from the guys at work, decides to try it on his new, factory-built Windows PC? Where does this leave him?
I say this not euphemistically, I love my dad but he's a putz around computers, but I could easily imagine him and people like him attempting this. They'd basically be locked out, or screwed.
You worry about your dad needing to change one BIOS setting, but expect him to set up a dual boot environment to try Linux out? Or blow away Windows to install Linux? Huh.
As to where does this leave your dad? He should probably run Linux within a virtual machine on his new Windows PC. No mess, no fuss. Seriously, I've stopped dual booting systems years ago...with modern VT-enabled chips, virtualization is sooooooooooo much of a superior approach.
UEFI Secure Boot allows you (the user/owner of the machine) to choose to verify that what you are truly booting is what you think it is. If you boot Windows 8 using this approach, you gain a higher degree of assurance that you're booting legit Microsoft code and not something that someone has infected your computer with. This is a big win for the *vast* majority of desktop users as most of them run Windows and most of them have a legitimate desire to not get bit by malware.
If you to not use this, and want to run Linux, one of the BSDs, or anything else, go into your BIOS and turn it off. Plain and simple. You can boot anything darn thing you want, you just don't get the cryptographic verification that you're booting what you think you are. *Your Choice.*
Most common approach to password cracking = brute force, targeting the specific hash (with the specific salt) of the account you're trying to crack. Step one of such an attack = determining the hash and salt that you're targeting. Which is what he figured out. If he's now bruteforcing those hashes, then he absolutely is cracking the passwords (well, he's trying to anyway).
But your basic point is right...he's figured out a way to capture hash/salt data, which he still should not be able to do. Since Lion uses SHA-256 hashes for its shadow file, that cracking attempt is still going to be quite difficult.
The more important part of this article is that under some circumstances, you can change the password of the logged in user without entering the current password. Now, *that* is a big deal (the degree of which is subject to valid debate).
It's not stupid. It's NetFlix acknowledging that streaming is how people will watch content in the future. They are putting themselves 100% on the bleeding edge of all-streaming with no physical media. Now, there are a whole bunch of people that still want DVDs...and that's why they are still playing in that area at all. However, five years from now, when no one wants DVDs at all, they can just kill Quickster. Meanwhile, NetFlix becomes the dominant king of streaming content, as they can dedicate themselves 100% to that.
It's not about innovating both business models anymore. It's about milking the DVD market as it dies while still allowing themselves to focus entirely on the streaming market, which is the future.
Writing Secure Code, from Howard and LeBlanc, is an *excellent* book on the topic. It's somewhat Windows-centric, and somewhat outdated right now, but all of the application security fundamentals are in there and they are all explained very well.

Not a hollow buzzword, I'm afraid. Simply the name given to having a service provider handle (1) infrastructure, (2) an application environment, or (3) applications for you while taking care of all of the maintenance of said provided service. Normally, whatever it is is running in a virtualized environment and you are not provided with insight, nor control, over where it is running physically. Pretty straightforward concept and such an approach does offset some of the maintenance debt...if you can pay someone else to do this work (physical upkeep of VM host servers, monitoring of VM guest servers, patching and associated commodity maintenance of operating systems and associated services (antivirus, etc)) for less than you can do it yourself, then you win.
Like it or not, these services are commodities now.
Please explain.
Some manufactures put a TPM in their devices. Some do not. If you decide you want a phone that cannot do remote attestation with a tamper-resistant hardware root-of-trust, you buy one of the later. If your organization, *who gets to set their own policies for remote access to their environments*, chooses to buy a phone for your use (or require you to do so as a condition of that remote access) that can do remote attestation with a tamper-resistant hardware root-of-trust, they (or you) buy one of them. That is the crux of a free market - multiple options and solutions are available and the one(s) that people actually want win out.
Just because you don't like the idea of a tamper-resistant store in a mobile device, it actually DOES solve the exact problem that this article is about. I, in no way, intend to indicate that it does not introduce other problems, however.

I've owned a 2006 Civic Hybrid for the past four years and calculate the savings based on my driving habits and the cost of gas every year. It recouped its cost over a year ago and has currently saved me well over $1000. It also pollutes less. So...why is this a joke?
Rory certainly was human. He was recreated as an Auton (those plastic guys) by the Nestene in The Pandorica Opens. He died, fell through the crack, and went who knows where. But then the Nestene went to Amy's house to create a realistic scenario that The Doctor and Amy would beleive based on her memories. It just so happened that her memories were of Romans in Britain, Pandora's Box, and Rory. Hence, that's what got created. Very fortunate for Rory that Amy remembered him in some way so he could be recreated, as an Auton but still. However, Rory was absolutely human until he died and was recreated as an Auton.
