What you are describing is inconcievable to most of the posters. You might try: "imagaine a 16way AMD box, a real screamer for SETI, molecule folding etc., also fully modded to use the waste heat to make espresso but would randomly shock you and download kiddie pr0n without your knowledge'.
That might be something a slashdotter understands. Mom, is that you?
Youy're right about Opera losing by hiding the information, but you are dead wrong about calling it "small fish".
With an installed base of 1.5% this is still several millions of computers you can infect, controll and monitor. Don't forget about the BlackICE (http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/03/21/00 23254) incident some time ago, no fish are too small on the internet due to the law of large numbers.
I have no idea about how DRM in cable works though. I record all my shows using a VCR because it's analog and the shows look warmer than using digital recording.
The length of this vector can be calculated easily using pythagoras's theorem (sqrt (12^2+4^2+3^2). It's 13 units in length. We want a unit vector (i.e. a vector 1 unit in length) So we divide by the length to get (12/13, 4/13, 3/13).
Acutally, using pythagoras is not efficient in the digital world. The length of a discreet vector [x,y,z]is always the absolute of the largest axis scalar. FOr the vector (-13,-4,-3) -13 is the largest scalar axis, and the absoulte of this is, of course, 13. Ergo the length of the vector is 13.
That's just dangerous, hear me out and I'll tell ya:
Works okay until older brother threastens to cause bodily harm the smaller kids, unless he is given said password. Older kid then finds dads pr0n collection and threatens to tell his mother unless given incredible raise in allowance. Spends allowance on new computer and books, and learns how to misuse dads credit card online. Mum discovers dads new credit card bill, complete with $9.99 for unlimited access to alt.sex.beastiality.hamster.duct.tape. Wife divorces dad, takes the house, car and younger kid while dad can keep older kid.
Changing passwords at somewatat-constant intervals is a good idea, as long as you are able to select the time-frame yourself. Changing the password monthly on a system you use twice each month is just as usefull as changing the password daily on a system you log on twice each day!
In my experience, and lots of others (Google is your friend), forcing password change too often leads to significantly weaker security, mainly due to passwords beeing written down or otherwise easily locatable (Modelname of monitor, anyone?), or beeing made in an easy-to-guess sequence ().
I, for one, would like to welcome some new non-password-changing overlords!
It would be interessting to use this technologu in orbit. The gravity up there is close to zero, but not entirely zero. Maybe we can now get true zero-gravity to make things like perfect spheres, lenses and other exotic materials/specimens.

Are you trying to tell us in won't be free as in DeBeers?

At least in Soviet Russia the joke-repeating overlords hangs you!
It is with great sadness I have to tell you that research causes cancer in mice....
You are (un)fortunatly wrong in you statement. A description is valid as prior art for patents, it does not have to be a working sample or even schematics. Ref: http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode35/u sc_sec_35_00000102----000-.html

Don't you know? The Iranians already have the PS 4, that's why they want nuclear power!
The list is already out! Piratebay already has a "Top 100 PC Games" liste.
None, there are only downsides to goatse...
You're lucky. When I was young, I had to take the bicyckle.
As long as the movie graphics is better than the other CGs(pun intended), such as Pool of Radiance, it can't be that bad ..... can it?
It does not matter anyhow, as things like this is usually prected by a SEP(somebody elses problem)-field.
Crap jolkes? When I was young we only had crap to power our houses. We had to let it ferment in thside the house just so we wouldn't freeze to death!

Oh, you're sooooo old-school.
I would just outsource the whole computing-thing.
