Grown ups cannot help you deal with a bullying problem. I am not a big supporter of violent responses, but in my experience, the only thing that works is to punch the bully in the nose. This is unfortunate, but true.
Sorry to ask a dumb question in this forum, but why look at SHA1SUMs when you just want to know if one file is different from another? Can't you just compare files bit by bit? Is there an official list of SHA1SUMs published by Microsoft so that an average user could tell if system files have been compromised? This may not always work since, on Windows machines, files with the same name are not identical from one machine to another. Thanks.
Any government founded as a result of revolution has a hard time after they become the "establishment". How can revolution be forbidden when it was OK to do it in the first place? I'm referring to China, of course...
I'm really sorry I went to that site. I'm going to have bad dreams like after the first time I saw a Godzilla movie. Every time I looked out a window at night I thought I saw a T-rex staring back at me.
Iran has banned the wheel permanently. "An Iranian official said the measure was meant to boost local development of technology and to build trust between people and the government, according to the Wall Street Journal." Anyone owning an automobile is required to turn in any round things on their cars (road wheels, steering wheels, hubcap spinners with pictures of Mohammed, etc.) or face severe punishment.
I have been one of those highly-trained educated people and I can tell you this type of announcement is most likely 100% true and 150% BS (simultaneously!). The scientific part will be true, but there is NO appreciation of what it takes to get something into production in a real product. These stories are released to 1) increase the stature of the researchers in the scientific community (which helps them get funding and therefore keep their job) and 2) seduce VC groups because these days almost every professor is the CEO of a start-up. {At the last conference I attended (ISSCC) I think I was the only person I ran into that wasn't the president of something.} As proof of this I offer the huge number of web sites that advertise a neato product without showing any way to buy anything. So, just how is it that you are the "world leader in CMOS imaging", but have no sensors to sell? Hmmm...

If people figure out how to teleport troops or nuclear weapons into my basement it will be VERY BAD! There have been a few sci-fi stories examining the impact of teleportation which I can't seem to remember. Perhaps some literate slashdot members will enlighten us? I would discuss this in greater detail, but there is a Homeland Security truck in front of my house and there is someone at the door...
One of the comments on the article site mentions this. It has been great fun trashing the government for idiocy, but you can't expect people to deal with a blank submission. Just another troll to get people fired up about how the government can't do anything right. They are even getting partially blamed for the Toyota gas pedal recall.
I unfortunately have to agree. If you are tormented by a bully, there is usually no good way for the grown-ups to help you. The bully's parents will not believe their angel could do such a thing and you really can't have your Mom rescue you in front of everyone. I talked myself out of some fights, but when that didn't work I fought back. Of course there were no guns then...
Classic story:
While riding on the bus, the guy behind me repeatedly whacked me over the head with a book. The last time he hit me it was so hard my vision blanked out for a second. I turned around and clipped him on the jaw. He said, "Meet me after school to settle this." I was really afraid, but I showed up. He didn't and I never had problems again.
In other news: Oh, and I learned never to get into fights over a girl. They are just embarrassed by it and won't thank you for defending them.
The only information you are supposed to use to come to a verdict is what you hear at trial. Nothing else except your own knowledge and experience. In the two trials I have been on, you could not even take notes during the trial to help refresh your memory about the testimony. In my second stint at jury duty, we were allowed pencil and paper during deliberations because there were 18 charges to keep track of.
How to get out of it?
I just started a new job and I might get fired if I serve. (Doesn't always work.)
I think the defendant should take the stand in his own defense or else he/she looks more guilty.
I know the defendant or his/her attorneys or the victim.
Anyone arrested by the police must be guilty of something.
I don't understand English well enough.
I play tennis with the District Attorney's wife.
I or a family member have been arrested recently.
etc. etc. etc.
You should serve if asked! I found it really interesting and you get to trash the annoying attorneys during deliberation which is always fun.
My wife has two knee replacements and a pacemaker. She can't go through the current metal detector and I wonder if she can go through a full body scanner.
Excuse me, but Woz does not "understand the problem", he simply experienced it. He says he can duplicate the problem at will, but doesn't say how. Anyway, my wife's 2007 Prius runs fine. Boring, but fine.
When we were in Copenhagen in Nov. 1972, we saw elderly women riding bikes to go to the opera in the snow. People were wearing sandals while biking to the Technical University of Denmark (Lyngby). We are wimps.
I got my motorcycle license last year and I am totally paranoid. People in the US are not used to dealing with bikes/motorcycles and just don't pay attention to them.
If slashdot is having a discussion of the Superbowl that enhances their business, then mentioning it probably violates something. One of our local radio stations used to sponsor a Superbowl Party and would rent buses to send people to the game. They were told they were no longer allowed to mention "Superbowl". They started referring to it as "The Big Game". Sad.
Try reading "The Last of the Mohicans" by James Fenimore Cooper. The language is incredible (though criticized by Mark Twain for being overly formal). There are short portions with French dialog (and no translation), so I have to think that the author assumed the reader understood French. Were people better educated in 1826 than now? I was also shocked to find that the abridged version I read as a child was quite toned down from the real thing. I felt like a child reading a grown-up book for the first time. I read it three times! Sorry, but our present language is dumbed-down and illiterate.
My wife has a Prius and I have to admit I didn't know about the three second deal until a few weeks ago. I think there are reasons they want the time delay. Firstly, you don't want a moving car to power down if you poke the button by accident for safety reasons. Secondly, the transmission may be destroyed if the vehicle is off and coasting at a speed higher than the maximum allowed towing speed (maybe 40mph).
However, my brother and I can't figure why the brakes don't stop these runaway cars. We have tried flooring the gas and stepping on the brakes and the car stops:
The victim vehicles: 1984 BMW 733i, 1974 BMW Bavaria, 2008 Toyota Camry (4-cyl).

2010? I can't even get Outlook 2003 to work. It got slower and slower until it wouldn't run at all. Thunderbird yes, Outlook no!

Didn't there used to be 21 THOUSAND AI experts? I'll wait until there is only one AI expert - a non-human running Bioshock 3.

Fark will now need a "South Carolina" tag to go with the "Florida" tag.

I was almost buying this until I saw "A&TT". At least you spelled the unit MHz correctly unlike my local utility that spells kWh as "KwH".
and sure enough 6 months later the 5-year-old battery in my MINI Cooper needed to be replaced.

I agree 100% with 01000etc. Do you know the definition of an emergency brake? If you really need to use it, it's an emergency!
