Web logs at Healthcare Advocates indicated that someone at Harding Earley, using the Wayback Machine, made hundreds of rapid-fire requests for the old versions of the Web site. In most cases, the robot.txt blocked the request. But in 92 instances, the suit states, it appears to have failed, allowing access to the archived pages.
In so doing, the suit claims, the law firm violated the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which prohibits the circumventing of "technological measures" designed to protect copyrighted materials.
They are being sued because they allowed the circumvention of a procedure they had in place to allow people to block access to their own site's history. Just looking at old pages isn't the problem here.
For this experiment, coachroaches proved to be very unpredictable. What if they hooked the thing up to several cockroaches, and took the most common reaction from the group as the correct response?
Uh, you're probably not an English major either because you misquoted the article, "This almost doubles the previous record of 42,195 digits by fellow Japanese Hiroyuki Goto."
that this would be impossible without using some sort of memorization scheme. One that comes to mind would be memorizing groups of digits and labeling each group in your head. Get the groups down pat. Then start grouping the groups. So if each group had 50 digits, the next group might be a collection of 50 groups (or 2500 digits). Not that this technique would make this ANY less amazing!
Are you assuming that the plane of this alien planet's orbit intersects with out solar system? If it doesn't, then you will never see the planet pass in front of the star. So how do we judge sizes of planets for which no occultation is seen?
That's a touching good story. But it doesn't mean a whole lot. When animals are endangered, even THEY don't speak up for themselves. If humans were ever endangered, you'd bet your ass we'd be doing something about it. It's a completely different situation. The animals that die out do so because they are unable to survive. Therefore, if humans are ever unable to survive, then we SHOULD die out. I just don't think that's gonna happen unless the entire planet pretty much dies.
If you are just starting, it might also help if somebody told you where to look: I'm new to stargazing but I downloaded Celestia (free) and flew over to the upper hemisphere of earth and set the date to tonight (June 25). You can find the planets by watching where the sun sets. The planets will set at that same spot about 2 hours later. They will be moving down and to the right at almost exactly a 45 degree angle to the horizon. So that means that after sundown, you can look up and left of that spot to find the planets. Look relatively low in the sky.
a satellite laser from Akira? Say what? Did he seriously think he could just slip that one in there without people noticing how obsessed he is with that movie and how he's part of the cult following and has an anime tattoo on his shoulder?
Why is the parent modded as flamebait? I totally agree: the burden of recycling should be put on the consumer. That's the way most other products are handled.
Is throwing out an old motherboard appropriate? That's up for debate. It should be a personal choice IMHO.
Besides In The Groove (see sibling post), Gran Turismo 4 for the PS2 lets you do some pretty cool stuff like save screenshots to a flash drive. It also lets you print to an epson USB printer BTW.
And on the other hand, people like me who started as EE and moved to CS halfway through sophomore year aren't accounted for. Yet another reason to look at 3rd/4th year students instead of incoming frosh.
The crucial difference between a MMORPG and your dice&paper role-playing is the real-time vs. turn-based nature. Permadeath works just fine for turn-based stuff because there is no such thing as an accidental death unless the Master causes it. Real-time online games can get you killed for all sorts of reasons from a lapse in attention to a power outage. And that's just unacceptable.
The two NVTV cards tested seem to be a little different. The one in the anandtech review has twice the number of S-video and stereo jacks. Besides that, anandtech says "At $130 - $140 for a dual tuner card, the NVTV is fairly affordable..." Is anandtech trying to say that the NVTV actually costs that much, or that most dual-tuners cost that much and the NV one is cheaper? It's confusing. Techreport.com quotes the NVTV card at under $65.

You guys are all way off base. FTA:

78% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

...unless they recently fixed the article text?

Saturn is the LEAST dense. So comparing it's density to Saturn to make it sound really dense is sort of silly.

Alright, 11 replies and nothing worth modding up. I challenge somebody to actually make intelligent conversation out of this article.
FTA: They sort of partially heard the word both ways
That's sort of partially scientific.

Cape or not, this is one alien I wouldn't mind having a costume malfunction.
I'd hate to ask what you sacrificed for the meow meow song.
Actually, they originally started the movie with Eggo's, but they decided to lego their Eggo's.
Now I have to firewall my exterior power outlets?!
the best way to consolidate various types of emails may be to email them to a common source. Then archive from there.
"irreversibly encrypted" ?
Wow, you're hardcore. You don't even want the person you're chatting with to understand you!
The Apple I was the very first Apple computer. This book shows you how to build one for under US$100.
FYI, the original model was marketed at $666. I think it's safe to say that Apple's marketing strategies have improved a bit since then.
