So... you're saying congress passing such a law isn't that unimaginable after all?

It isn't enough just to sandbox the viruses. It must also run the programs you DO want to run. A "properly" configured Windows box won't do that. There is plenty of blame to go around for that little feature.
Your statement cannot be true. Since in the past 400,000 years, quite a few of those had temperatures *significantly* higher than today, if the CO2 correlates well, they should have had correspondingly much higher CO2.
F-ing Pat, "Do you know who I am?" Kennedy. You'd think a guy that ran practically unopposed in state that thinks we owe something to anyone with the name "kennedy" because "sacrifices were made" wouldn't need so much campaign graft.
Yeah. It certainly couldn't have been because he didn't want to talk about how great the country was while everyone, including himself, was in mourning.
Diebold offers system with a paper trail. Aparantly it is more expensive. Or something. Anyway most counties that choose their electronic voting system CHOOSE the paperless option. Everyone's makeing Diebold out to be the bad guy here, but they're just one vendor in many that the boards of elections choose, and chose the worst product imagineable.
Since in MY state, the particular boards who chose paperless voting happened to be counties known to be heavily democrat, I can't help but wonder if the whole shenanigans were manufactured in a deliberate attempt to stain the current administration.
Anyway, just because Alaska's elections authority SAYS they can't turn over the data because it's in a proprietary format, doesn't mean they aren't using diebold as an excuse to simply not do something they don't want to do in the first place.
Actually they do. I remember seeing a/. post a while back about a "procedural" 3D FPS engine. The whole thing was less than a meg, but had several levels with a quality between quake 2 and quake 3 or thereabouts. argh i wish I could remember what it was.
Mostly I was just going for the "both have a work of fiction written about a subject with a large kook following despite contrary evidence"
of course, Asimov's superprequel "Nemesis" didn't require Asimov to join the kooks and say things like, "My next book will reveal even more incredible secrets of the vatican than this one" to promote it.
But are there stars orbiting that distance with planetary systems? I would think that such proximity would perturb the hell out of whatever was there. The only analogue I can think of is the earth-moon system, where the only satellites are artificial and maintiained by active thrusting. (and maybe pluto-charon, but we won't know much more about that for a decade)
I would like to point out that, separate from this issue, amateur astronomers are quite capable and in some instances have equipment rivaling professional gear. IIRC, something like 50% of newly discovered bodies in the solar system are found by amateur astromers. Their huge number of eyes is an invaluable resource to the scientific community.
A big problem is particles. The shielding only does so good of a job. One thing done in order to prevent bit-flips in ram, it is run at a higher voltage (increases the depth of the charge bucket so one stray particle can't cause a flip), which also introduces other problems. As modern processors strive for ever smaller voltages to solve the heat problem, this becomes more and more necessary. The shielding necessary to allow a non-hardened board would be neither light nor cheap.

Obviously, all time-travelers' messages have already been delivered. Otherwise they'd never have discontinued the service.
"podcasting" has been out for a while now. Surely there is a new trendy hip term floating about that we're not yet aware of.
The problem with drunk driving is that often, the people that die aren't the drunks.

Your article uses the word, "leverage." Furthermore, it uses it as a verb. Stop weirding language.

Maybe, but why was he walkin' around protecting a breifcase that only contained two orange lightbulbs and a battery?

What's so bad about selling out?
So... you noticed an error in the Wikipedia, did you...
May I ask, "Why is it still there?"

Wait... I thought the goal of LoRD was to make it with the barmaid...

Jeb Bush is eligible.

Tycho Brahe was an amateur astronomer.
I'd put it closer to "Da Vinci Code" on the scale.
Yeah heaven forbid the critical technology of metaspy fall into the wrong hands.
NASA != ESA.
yeah that was a great article. NASA warns of cluttered space. well.. NASA.. who'se fault is that, really...
Ok, but what will you do for him in 50 years when pretty much nothing's different? I predict you'll just raise the bar another 50 years.
