If they burn out before the advertised period then just go and get your free replacement. I've had every Phillips CFL I bought, replaced 3 times over the period of 5 years of their advertised life.
From what I've heard, Fedora's version isn't any better off.
That was true only for short period after the initial F9 release. It just-works since then.
Ubuntu had integrated PulseAudio so early because Canonical didn't want to support legacy audio for the next 18 months that would take to replace the the 8.04 LTS. The second reason is that Fedora and Ubuntu are competing for the "latest and greatest" features. Turns out Fedora can get away with a few quirks but a (supposedly) stable branch of Ubuntu, can't.
Parent has probably the best idea so far. See those ads with tear-away phone numbers? Replace the phone number with unique keys and you've got yourself a geography based filtering scheme. You could also add an invitation model if you want people to get their friends to join.
I think it wouldn't be of any use in court either way. A web page is still dubious.
An EULA signed on paper, in two copies, before your purchase would give you timestamped evidence of the terms you agreed to. It would force the company to actually validate the terms in court and make customers think twice.
I think trying to set up a scheme like the one you propose AND giving it legal grounds could only add to the problem.
If joe sixpack asked a windows "expert" for help, he would probably get laughed at for not knowing how to change the registry entries of the application he was trying to get to run.
"Experts" like that aren't exclusive to linux. I admit that Linux does tend to draw in these kind of people more because it's seen as the alternative for a bit more knowledgeable audience. These "experts" are commonly known as "dickheads". They are everywhere and you've probably met someone who laughed at you because you didn't know something about car mechanics. In that field you could be the "Joe Sixpack".
I'm skeptical. Extreme overclocking requires copious amounts of dangerous coolants which are known to cause severe brain damage to the system's user. Side effects include: empty fridge, finding strangers sleeping in your tub and massive hangovers.
DRAM does use a transistor's parasitic capacitance to hold the state. It isn't entirely unlikely that the same parasitic capacitance would hold the state in an SRAM.
And comment has a little bit strange tone, like i stepped on somebody's feet.
I didn't mean to sound like that and I blame the text-only medium. (mostly but not entirely)
My point is, you shouldn't dismiss the insight of people who actually do the research, in my opininon. If they say that graphene has the potential to be an HTSC (which they don't BTW), then there may be something to it. Even if they won't succeed in developing an HTSC they may be able to use their acquired knowledge of the material to other purposes. The benefits of research are unpredictable but they're always there.
It looked like you're dismissing this research because "everyone seems to research for graphene HTSCs and not cooling for my regular SCs".
As you have stated in your small disclaimer: you don't research HTSC and you're probably missing an important piece of the puzzle which would help you understand why they're researching this application. This new method of production has the potential of lowering the costs of researching graphene applications overall, not only HTSCs. There's little you can do to change the focus of a research community if you're not at least ONE of the following two:
A respectable member of that community
A guy with a big chunk of money to spare
If you want more focus on other applications then you should put your money where your mouth is and fund it. A very big pile of money, I might add. Fortunately that pile just got a little bit smaller thanks to this new method.
Such a universe has a centre and it can be agreed upon: the centre is placed beyond that universe. Just like the centre of a balloon is inside it and not on it's surface.
qA - start recording to the 'A' buffer. Do some magic on a record/block/line. Hit q to stop recording. Typing @A will repeat all your magic between qA and q. If you'll end the recording session with a move to the next record/line/block that needs to be processed then you can just type 1000@A and be done with it.
You're right of course. My sarcasm detector failed me. All clueless zealots will scream bloody murder at any hint of a copy-cat. I don't want to start another OT discussion on Microsoft practises, but they are helping either.
PS. On a less serious note: I don't consider KDE "the best from the OS community".
Sounds like its time you found a new cage!:)... while its still a cage, the new surroundings may make it feel like a better cage.... that is, until you can find a way to live without the need of a cage... I'm still looking for the answer to that one, like most people.:)
Unless someone comes up with some amazing breakthrough that makes factoring very large numbers trivial, there aren't really any practical cases where the encrypted data stream is the likely target of an attack.
You've hit the nail on the head. We have to create new cryptography methods or the data stream will be an attack vector once a quantum computer comes around. Of course we're talking about decades of research, but this is the first step.
Slashdot Mirror
Why are people still using the Control Panel?
Familiarity. Plus I don't think the new method is good for more advanced administrative tasks.
I don't have to worry about my children's future.
That depends on whether they're already born or just planned. If not, then I've got some bad news about your lap-heating scheme.

Imagine a bewolf cluster of these.
And if you need more power, you just need to pick up more chicks.
Forget it. The algorithm for that is NP-complete.

But theory and practice are often vastly different.
Theory is always in accord with practice. Hypothesis aren't. Stop misusing those terms, please?
Theory is great, but reality trumps.
That hasn't been the case since Newton's works you're so keen on dismissing as "theory".
Such a universe has a centre and it can be agreed upon: the centre is placed beyond that universe. Just like the centre of a balloon is inside it and not on it's surface.
Unlike some other federations that shall remain unnamed, like the US.
You just had to spell it out, didn't you? By Zeus, it didn't even take you a proper ellipsis to spill the name!

Hmmm...let's see where they've stolen their UI improvements so far:
That wasn't what I meant. I don't think they've stolen anything until any code has been copied.
Really, this is basic Boolean logic. Anyone reading /. ought to understand this stuff...
That's what amazes about the recent negation operator misuse in the tags. Where do these people come from?
They should spend some time in their mom's basement once in a while.
I see the KDE team made leaps and bounds in their Windows port.
Don't worry. The flashbacks subside after 30 years or a shock therapy after a manic depression episode (whichever comes first).

A bigger cage... I can't even see the bars!
I find that fascinating.
I disagree.
Personally, I find that completely awesome.
