I don't know; hypothetically... if I was running Tor... and if I did happen to send out my login information... I wouldn't want the site to confirm that it was me who posted it. Although I would want to be able to post as an Anonymous Coward.
Actually, there are several available programs to do this kind of search. Here's a list. Ignore the first three that do performance statistics; there are better ones below them.
If you want a single specific, easy-to-use app, I'd suggest DepSpid. (I haven't used it specifically, but all projects on the BOINC platform are very similar.)
Once I noticed that a computer somewhere had pulled over 1GB of data for a Linux *CD* (700MB), in my uTorrent client. And, yes, I did have DHT on. At the time I figured it was just a rogue client, and blocked it in my firewall. Now I wonder...
I agree. Personally, I'm looking for a version of wikifilter that works with compressed versions of the XML database. That way, an entire snapshot of Wikipedia articles could be put on one DVD.
The problem is, right now, the XML database must be decompressed, and that way it takes 10-15GB.
The first thing doctors try to do for an ER patient is stabilize him/her. (Let's go with "him" so this doesn't get silly.) If his blood pressure is low, they give him IV saline or a blood transfusion. If he's running an extremely high fever, they give him an ice bath. If he's puffing away on a cigarette, they take away the cigarette.
The point is, even if a doctor doesn't know what's wrong, if there's one symptom (like overheating) that's an immediate danger, and there's a quick fix for it, the doctor will use the quick fix first and then figure out what caused it. If the earth is warming now (and it is), and decreasing CO2 will cool it (and it should), we should go ahead with it even while we confirm the cause.
Good grief! Get that man a copy of KnoppMyth! He'll still have to reboot to watch shows (if he likes Windows), but at least he can do more than just watch one through.
My web browser allowed me to download this utility which allowed me to circumvent this encryption. Is it in violation of the DMCA?
Absolutely! You must use Internet Explorer 7.
My operating system allowed me to operate this web browser which allowed me to download this utility which allowed me to circumvent this encryption. Is it in violation of the DMCA?
Of course! You must install Windows Vista.
My computer allowed me to run my operating system which allowed me to download this utility which allowed me to circumvent this encryption. Is it in violation of the DMCA?
Definitely! You must buy a computer with a Trusted Computing module.
My university's computer store sold me the computer which allowed me to run my operating system which allowed me to download this utility which allowed me to circumvent this encryption. Is it in violation of the DMCA?
Certainly! The store must sell only computers with a Trusted Computing module, running Windows Vista.
My government runs the university which runs the computer store which sold me the computer which allowed me to run my operating system which allowed me to download this utility which allowed me to circumvent this encryption. Is it in violation of the DMCA?
Probably. The government must only use computers with a Trusted Computing module, running Windows Vista.
My fellow citizens elected the government which runs the university which runs the computer store which sold me the computer which allowed me to run my operating system which allowed me to download this utility which allowed me to circumvent this encryption. Are they in violation of the DMCA?
Some of them are. They've been sued, haven't they?
Some MPAA members are citizens who elected the government which runs the university which runs the computer store which sold me the computer which allowed me to run my operating system which allowed me to download this utility which allowed me to circumvent this encryption. Are they in violation of the DMCA?
There may be a few, but they're being rooted out as we speak.
Some MPAA members worship a deity who allegedly convinced them to elect the government which runs the university which runs the computer store which sold me the computer which allowed me to run my operating system which allowed me to download this utility which allowed me to circumvent this encryption. Is He in violation of the DMCA?
Without question! In His omniscience, He "imports...any technology, product, service, device, component, or part thereof, that - (A) is primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title;".
Next, on Slashdot, the MPAA sues God for decrypting all their copyrighted works!...or is that Boston Legal?
Except, of course, for PBS, some premium cable channels (I imagine there are still some that don't have advertising), and pay-per-view. In those cases, programming exists to keep the consumer paying for it directly.
What, nobody modded this funny? Yes, the parent starts out well, but...
Use some of this energy to create hydrogen from coal, and use that to power automotive fuel cells.
This, of course, is a variant of steam reforming. In this case, C+2H2O => CO2+2H2. You'll note that this generates CO2 from the carbon in a fossil fuel. Not good.:(
I'll refrain from commenting about the bicycles, as I know nothing about social engineering.
Implement modern, safer nuclear technology.
Good!
Rocket the waste into the Sun, or maybe dump it on the Moon or a passing asteroid.
That old saw? The problems with this have often been discussed; I won't reiterate them here. I much prefer this old saw: Recycle, Reduce, Reuse!
Create solar powered ozone production plants with 5-mile-high smokestacks to replenish the earth's O3 layer.
Of course, the ozone depletion issue won't be solved by injecting ozone. The sun's light creates ozone every day, and ozone naturally destroys itself eventually. It's just that chemicals that destroy ozone catalyze its destruction, so the equilibrium shifts to have less ozone. Besides, ozone depletion has very little to do with global warming.
And finally, if the last sentence didn't make you laugh, nothing will!
Plant respiration is half a solution. Then you need to sequester the carbon in the plants.
I particularly like Engineer-Poet's plan as a solution for this. In particular, steps 1 (gasification) and 7 (burial of charcoal) are in themselves a solution, with 2 (electricity generation from the gas) and 8 (sequestering CO2) as good additions. By his calculations, we could make >500 million tons of charcoal, which is basically pure carbon, just in the United States. That equates to over 1.8 gigatons of CO2, so there's a good deal of leeway. The gas could also power up to half the United States with electricity, offsetting the cost of the plan.
The biggest issue I see is that charcoal is better than the highest-grade coal you can dig out of the earth. So instead of burying charcoal while digging up coal, at the moment it would just make sense to burn the charcoal.
try restarting just the windows manager on Windows - you can't
Yes you can - usually. In Task Manager, find process "Explorer.exe" and kill it. If it doesn't restart right away, go to File -> New Task, and run Explorer.exe.
The summary makes it sound like these companies produced adware. Actually, it's almost the opposite. Cingular, Priceline, and Travelocity have been fined for buying advertising displayed through adware programs produced by others.
There are several other emulators, including versions for Windows CE and PocketPC, as well as many other programs and resources, on that site. That also means, if your college will allow PDAs in the classroom, you could just get a PDA and forego the physical calculator entirely!
As stated by others, this only applies if someone paid a blogger to write a blog entry. Furthermore, "...such term does not include any communications by an entity directed to its members, employees, officers, or shareholders."
Members are defined as:
...if the person or entity--
(i) pays dues or makes a contribution of more than a nominal amount to the entity;
So that excludes all you subscribers out there from the 500.
(ii) makes a contribution of more than a nominal amount of time to the entity;
That probably excludes anyone who's posted on a blog. It might exclude all registrants, too. It's hard to say what's "nominal". IANAL.
(iii) is entitled to participate in the governance of the entity;
Daggummit, I think that completely excludes Digg! (Since anyone is eligible to register and down-digg any paid posts.)
(iv) is 1 of a limited number of honorary or life members of the entity; or
(v) is an employee, officer, director or member of the entity.
P.S. When posting the cut-and-pasted section of the bill as it originally was, I got the following:
Lameness filter encountered. Post aborted! Reason: Please use fewer 'junk' characters.
It's interesting - I've done some math on this before, and it's not really worth it.
After efficiency losses from engine and alternator, one gallon of gas is equal to at least 10 KWH of electricity. Realistically, about the best you could do with solar panels is to cover 2 meters of the car with ~15% efficient panels = 300 watts (max). Now assume you get 12 hours of full sun directly on the panels each day (which is impossible). That's 3.6 KWH/day, or about a third of a gallon of gas. More realistic solar panel data (PDF) gets about 1/5 of that in real life.
That might not even be worth the extra weight of solar panels and equipment!

Naw, man, sed is way better than ed!
Real geeks use an editor that doesn't display anything at all. And with sed, I can screw up all the files in a directory at once, instead of one at a time with ed.
That's all I have to say, but I think it had to be sed.

Based on the image posted above, and comparing the USB plug to a USB plug in my hand, it looks like about 1/2 inch by 1 inch. Really tiny.
I guess, if old USB drives were "thumb drives", this should be a "thumbnail drive"!

That's why there's encryption software. Unfortunately, Wikipedia doesn't list much file encryption software.
However, most file compression software can encrypt. I think 7-Zip is a good one. Anyone know of better file encryption software?
Maybe, but it's infinitely improbable!

That's right! You can get an exceptional emulator for an HP48-GX, free!
The emulator is here: http://www.hpcalc.org/details.php?id=3644
You also need to get a ROM dump file, which you can get here: http://www.hpcalc.org/details.php?id=4368
