Turing ended his life before his lifestyle was deemed acceptable. It is a real shame. If he could have stuck it out for a few more years, he could have been an example that who one likes to bed with has no effect on their professional competency.
It is quite possible that he would not have killed himself were it not for the mood-altering effects of the medication he was forced to take.
You missed the bit where it continues until you haven't slept for so long that you are literally hallucinating, at which point they start writing down your insane babbling as evidence against you.
with the excuse that "it'll become a shrine for terrorists".
Note that Bin Laden hated shrines for religious reasons. Clearly, they were worried about all those terrorists who love Bin Laden, while disagreeing with him on religious matters.
Yes, it is horrific for the patient too. The have to live with the knowledge that what they consider their "self" will slowly vanish. Later, terrifying confusion and probably paranoid delusions.
Falling into a dream is relaxing. Dementia is being wide awake, frightened, and having no idea what is going on.
And some people will have lucid moments in which they know what is happening to them.
Hint: bananas have more radiation than almost every other food available, yet nobody wants to pull bananas from the market because it's the only good source of potassium.
Those are the same thing.
You have to eat potassium, or you will die. All natural potassium is "contaminiated" with naturally-occuring radioactive isotopes of potassium. Any replacement source of potassium would be just as radioactive.
KDE apps are not just for use with the KDE workspace.
There are many KDE project actively porting their applications to other environments, including MacOS and Windows.
What should they have done? They've done wrong if they participated in interception for the regime, but I don't see what good ignoring an order to shut down would do. Vodafone doesn't have any soldiers; Mubarak could perfectly well have shut it down himself by cutting power or having their equipment blown up.
While SSDs have a great performance, they also require you to spend a good amount of buck per GB. And so far, SSDs' lifespans are quite limited compared to clunky good old hard drives.
If lifespan and price/GB always trump seek time, I imagine you exclusively use backup tape?
The photo on the website looks a little like it's rigged to a powered hub with a modified USB cable (it's technically possible, if supposedly forbidded, to power a host from USB's +5v wire).
So here we are again, hearing "everybody else is as bad". Anyone else reminded of how everybody else's phones can be held wrong too?
Caching the data for a matter of days is not the same as saving it forever and copying it to other devices, just as being an ordinarily radioopaque human is not the same as poking the actual antenna.
IPv4 addresses may be running out, but we can all look forward to supporting them forever in a second stack, running parallel to our IPv6 software, now and forever, for the rest of eternity, Amen.
Like how browsers all still having to cope with both Gopher and HTTP? Like Gopher, IPv4 will fade out, slowly. At some point, new networks will see no need to have an IPv4 address just for the tiny minority of users who would need it.
I know the problem is of a much greater magnitude, but it still doesn't require an instantaneous switchover.
(Yes, I know Firefox only just dropped Gopher support.)

Slashdot Mirror
so fuck you hoover
Indeed. While many of his crimes are now widely known, not enough people know about the extent of his responsibility for the Pearl Harbour attack.
I am impressed. Look at what can be achieved with just a big, controllable lens.
This is Slashdot. You almost certainly have flagella.

I hate to break it to you, but you're an Ubuntu user, not a Debian user.

What *does* have intrinsic value? Like gold, the value of Bitcoins derives almost entirely from scarcity.
It can be a long, long time between becomng very forgetful (who isn't, sometimes?) and ceasing to enjoy life.

What a curious selection of phones. The venerable Nokia 3410 is missing, but they somehow bothered to test an N-Gage.
Here is comprehensive data for Nokia handsets.

The skin is often eaten; in cakes, for example.

Not how probability works.

Does "1080p30 H.264 high-profile decode" imply hardware decoding?
Pretty sure Linux runs on a CPU, rather than the other way around.
Just the "giant robot arm" bit would make this any geek's dream...
