Actually what GP say do make sense, not on "rouge state" like Iran or NK, but on non-state actors like Al-Qaeda.
Non state actors do not give a shit to the population of the host country, and they are too dispersed to be counter-nuked.
There are very little to lose for them to initiate a first strike.
I wish I have mod point for you.
The "Thumbnail" view in winxp is just about as useless can it can be for displaying file information.
"Detail" view with file extension shown as in win2003 is much more sensible.
Why stop at autorun? MS should disable automount as well. E.g. One should be able to mount any disc as read only.
I have so many UDF disc destroyed just because 3rd party driver fuck up. This should be completely avoidable.
They don't even need to hack any camera. Just put a teammate in the shop. He would carries a hidden cam which act as the extorter's eye. Additionally he can help drive up mass hysteria inside the customers, which aids the extorter getting whatever he wants.
Try again with this: Go outside and yell "US Imperialism sucks!" three times, then post Islamic extremist jihad crap everywhere. Did CIA blow your brain out? No?

Also media long term stability. DVDR is disappointing in compare with CDR in this aspect. Having 50GB worth of data gone with 1 aged BR disc is 10x worse.
The article is a typical layman news-speak that has little detail. Does the new craft 1) start the scramjet engine after boosting, attaining enough speed and reach apogee of 530km? 2) boost with rocket, reaching apogee of 530km, re-entry and starts the scramjet with gravitational acceleration? (ala another HyShot)? Either way, both have a lot of previous art and whats so special about it?
Besides from the shortcomings you have just mentioned, many of these chinese/taiwanese sites are infested with flash. Some put a flash page right as front page with no escape link. Some even have the whole site completely flashified and offers no html alternative.
I browse these sites to look for new product or support, not wasting my bandwidth watching stupid animation. Usually I exit right the way when seeing a site like this. I can't trust anyone's product if they can't even get their website right.
"Wow, where tf are the eye candies??" "Wow, why tf the basic interface is so SLOW??" "Wow, it used 500 out of 512MB of RAM?? the machine is trashing!" "Wow, this Vista-Capable machine don't have DX9 GPU and 1GB ram, no Aero!" "Wow, I think i am ripped off by macroshit propaganda again."
1) dd the hdd to a image or another hdd 2) dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1 3) lies about that the system with a broken keyboard run windows and now doesn't boot. 4) get back the repaired system and dd the image back 5)....? 6) profit!!!!
This could be good/neutral/bad. Some one should make some simulation before rolling out such modded client to public network. Possible outcomes:
Good: -Better transfer speed for modded clients, and peers that the mods prefered. -Better overall parts availability, given that there are enough ordinary clients around.
Bad: -If there are too many mods, small amount of high speed normal clients will not be be able to feed all the slow peers. The network might segment into 2 parts, high speed peers and low speed peers. High speed clients prefer to talk among themselves, and low speed peers will be starved. -Possibly geographically segmentates the network, as local peers usually have higher bandwidth. -Combined with download-and-run behaviour, seeds will only exists for short time on fast peers. Low speed peers might never be able to get all the chunks.
Thus overall outcome depends greatly on highspeed/lowspeed and mod/normal client ratios. It is hard to predicts what will happens without detail simulations first.
USB supplies flat +5V and GND in 2 pins. No bus protocol is required for gadgets drawing power from a port. Using simple "aftermarket charger" is always possible, so charge_by_computer_only_act is unenforceable; a long as they are talking about the USB standard as the world know of.
Chinese characters are exactly a counter example for internationalization of the DNS. Almost every nation in the chinese cultural influence circle have their own variation(s) of kanji, and own version(s) of kanji coding and input methods. e.g. the char (war) traditional chinese(big5): simplified chinese(gb): kanji(jis/euc):
Most people who can read chinese character will be abled to read all variations without trouble, thus mix used of different regional variations might not be apparent. The different variations of the same character however have distinct unicode and computer treat them differently. Obvious problem will be e.g. 1)User confusions because their local IME input wrong variation of the character 2)Phishing with char variations
And the fun doesn't stops here. With Chinese char DNS possible, users will not hesitates to use chinese path/file name as well. Many OS does not supports unicode properly, and thus use local coding on the URL instead. Disasters like http://unicode.domain/gb3212/big5/euc.filename will spread like wild fire. Even with an unicode OS, aforesaid char variations problem will still be there.
So yeah, welcome to our new internationalized DNS and see IT support cost explodes.
People expect video to behave like video; that is, you stick in the media, press play button, and the damn video should just run. Tape, LD, VCD, all analog media behave like that. DVD on the other hand comes with non-standard interactivity, forcing one to use non-standard menu to navigate the media, having non-skippable advertisement that is counter intuitive to "skip" button etc.
I have come across a few old folks and kids(sometimes young adults too) who got stuck when they first encounter dvd. Those people trends to memories the machine's operation procedure instead of the understanding the ration behind the actions. Non-standard way of interaction make dvd hard to use for them or anyone trying to teach them to use one.
Looks like HD disc will be even more invasive than dvd. Hope that some manufacturer will put a DON'T-BUG-ME-JUST-PLAY-THE-VIDEO-SERIALLY button and gimme back my old time video experience.

US is sending carrier task force into Yellow Sea, China is mining the region as a response.
OMGWTFBBQ we are at war!!!!!....
Oh wait...
No. Thank you.
This is not a fair comment. China is doing a lot more than the US in trying to reduce CO2 emission. E.g.
they are building 100 new nuclear reactor within this decade
They are also building hell a lot of new wind turbine as well

You need to disable it for 48hrs. From GMT-12 00:00 to GMT+12 23:59 1st April occurs somewhere in the globe.
.....from orbit. That's the only way to be sure.
