    "The problem is, how come they have power / right to monitor what am I doing? "

    They don't, but they are not monitoring BT traffic on your side. They put up some bait seed/tracker, see who is connecting to it, log his IP. The IP adress is then used for forcing the netblock owner(e.g. ISP) to give out user info of the IP in question, follow by the RIAA style legal extortion.

    yes and no.

    Yes if you click yes to every random popup and run unknown exe w/o a thought. No OS can help you this way.

    No if you are talking about automated worms. Being windows compartible doesn't mean that it need to imitate its security holes as well.

  5. runas /user:administrator cmd on A Fresh Look at Vista's User Account Control · · Score: 1

    runas /user:administrator cmd

    This will give you a root shell. Just spawn whatever applic that need admin rights there. Only thing that can't run that way on winxp is the file manager(explorer), which is already running as the current user's desktop manager. One can spawn IE and use it as file manager though.

    I usually have cygwin installed and use Bash root shell instead. cmd sucks cock.

  7. Re:Server vs PC on Sun to Give Niagara Servers to Reviewers · · Score: 1

    - Server mobo usually have 2 or more separate PCI bus(not slot, but 2 channels with dedicated bandwidth). This separates high traffic systems(HDD,NIC) from the rest of the system. Single PCI bus will cause a lot of contentions in server environment. - Server mobo often don't have AGP but have integrated cheapo GPU. This save some wiring which would otherwise need a extra layer on mobo. Who need 3D gaming on a god damn server anyway. - Server usually are MP. They usually have larger no. of applications/threads running concurrently, which suits better with MP. In contrast, most Desktop applics are single threaded, and they are better off with single high clock speed CPU. - They have more RAM for the same reason as above. - They have redundant components/hot swap capability (CPU/RAM/HDD/PSU), which is seldom seen on PC. - Firmware/BIOS having some diagnostic/remote management capability. - And in general, all their HW are of higher quality and design to last longer than PC.

    Not necessarily. All normal material slow down light, and the difference in C at medium interface cause light to bend. The new material that cause light to bend the other way probably means C is higher than C(vacuum). Currently only exotic material like BEC has these properties. These exotic materials are not easy to made/maintain, so are microscope using them.
    BTW TFA has no information about what material/technology does this use. Anyone got links?

  17. it is a bad idea on Water Now More Awesome Than Previously Thought · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Small scale extraction may be ok, but using cold water as global energy source is a very bad idea. e.g.:
    - It can change the pattern of ocean current, causing major climatic shift.
    - It can cause oxygen depletion in deep ocean, causing mass extinction.
    - Deep ocean water contains large amount of methane hydrate. Heating them up will release the potent green house gas into atmosphere.

What MacroShit is doing with w2k3 sp1 is much worse. They allow you to download and install anyway; but the system will refuse to let you login after reboot. (Give you some shitty warning msg about license then returns to login screen). Pirated w2k3 becomes a heavy doorstop after installing sp1.
