"Sometimes you are simply going too fast to stop in time. What if there is rain or snow on the ground?"
Then you are going too fast for the road conditions. This is not a valid reason to run a red light. I'm no driving rules nazi - I have owned and driven performance cars quickly, on the road. I freely admit that I treat speed limits as 'guidelines'. This said, you should always drive taking into account hazards. A red light is a warning of a hazard (intersection, pedestrian crossing).
I can't believe they managed to extradite him. Blowing it up into 'the biggest millatary hack ever' seems a bit over the top. From what I read he scanned for default passwords and installed publically available trojans while leaving a clear trail back to himself.
He is both incompetant and a bit crazy (he was looking for UFO evidence...) Why go to all this trouble to lock him up?
I'm no image editing bod but surely this is a crap idea? Aren't most 'serious' photoshop images enormous and any stuff done to them requires big resources? This is not an ideal combination for a web app.
There's the casual use I suppose but if you're not doing something uber-serious then you don't need photoshop - the gimp or similar will do just fine.
Exactly. This weekend myself and two housemates each paid £6 each to watch a special screening of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom at the cinema. We own two copies of it between us and have a projector + big fat sound system. It's not the same.
It'll be a long, long time before coinemas lose money.
Having been a regular eBay user for a while I can't get away from an image of a huge room housing 40,000 loudly screaming chimpanzees banging away at their terminals.
Oh, and some dude in the room next door swimming in his Scrooge McDuck style money pit while laughing manically....
A low dose of an alpha emitter would be a perfect untracable poison. There would be no acute radiation posioning systoms - it would just screw up his bone marrow and kill him via infection. It would be VERY hard to detect the polonium. It is possible they screwed up the dosage.
Any could give you radiation poisoning depending on the activity present. Polonium tends to be high activity and is a pure alpha (no gammas/betas) which is probably why it was used.
I keep reading about how these machines are insanely easy to hack. Surely the next election will be determined by the patriotic hackers of america? Apply yourself people.
"your network isn't the slowest part of your setup. It's the consumer-grade Pentium and disk drive on your Dell"
The guy obviously doesn't have the first idea of what he's talking about. Or he hasn't upgraded his disks/processor since the 70's. Either way this article is a waste of time.
Outlawing guns only works when most people don't have them already, IMHO. That's why it works here in the UK and wouldn't work in the states. Your 'Putting up your dukes' comment is stupid, by the way. A few years ago I was attacked by 6 big drunk dudes. Fighting them off with my hands would have been a viable option, if I was Chuck Norris. As it was they gave me a damn good kicking.
Actually, it's a slightly poor summary. Obviously we can sustain a plasma for >28 seconds (neon signs for a start!). I personally have operated a 'farnsworth fusor'with a sustained fusion lasman of some minutes duration.

Good.

Am I missing something?

Also, an updated smash TV would be amazing
Tell me about it. I've recently discovered that a poorly managed hot room kills cancer cells just fine.
As long as they havn't changed the keyboard shortcuts I couldn't give a monkeys.

I built a Farnsworth fusor. CLear above background neutron signature and everything.
Nuclear industry. No question.
The real analogy is- should it be illegal for you to fart wherever you damn well please?

There's no way they can sell that thing for $80k, the batteries cost more than that even in bulk.

It's a typo. He meant cool OR quiet...
They could have got away with just loosing a chunk of their paypal revenue - now they're going to loose a chunck of it all. Bring on gbay.

A cell that big doesn't prove much. I reckon you could get pretty good 'battery life' if you humped around a diesel generator.
