For example "Grab your rifle! There's a coyote attacking the livestock!", which is not an overly uncommon thing to happen around here.
Also the occasional human with ill intent towards me, my family, or my possessions, which is considerably more rare, but still worth being prepared for, especially being as it would take the police about half an hour to show up here.
The net benefits of IPv6 are large (The ability to connect everything to the internet and have them universally accessible allows some really neat "world of the future" ideas to be practically implemented.), but to most people, they don't seem very relevant yet, as we won't be hitting the limits of the address space for a few years yet.
When we do start feeling the limits in a few years, I predict there will be a mad scramble to implement IPv6. Or given the way most North American ISPs seem to work, a mad scramble to implement half-assed shortsighted workarounds that will be more expensive and less functional.
You seem to be implying that killing something is never a correct course of action. I can think of several not-uncommon instances where it is a correct action.
It needs to be investigated, as it indicates the fscking door was wide open and any random person could have gone in, regardless of whether the kid did anything.
I question too. $1000 (CDN) bought me my current laptop (an HP tx2512) in August, which has a 1.9ghz AMD X2 processor, 3GB ram, 250GB hard drive, half decent video (ATI 3200HD), same 12.1" screen size (same 1280x800 resolution too), and is a convertible tablet. About the only thing the Dell does better is that it is thinner, a little lighter (mine is only 2 and some pounds), and has a built-in 3G modem, though I can stick one of those in my expresscard slot (which the Dell lacks) if I had need.
Maybe they should just remake the gear from Apollo. We know it worked (cue the conspiracy theorists) and we could definitely do quite a lot of stuff with it, given advancements in technology in the past 40 years. Just compare the monstrosity that was the Apollo guidance computer (thousands of RTL NOR ICs, magnetic core memory) to something modern to do the same thing (Hell, my pocket calculator could likely provide much of the functionality if you rad-hardened it.) and you can save a ton (probably literally) of weight for other stuff.
I think the tag is echoing the sentiment in the summery that a lot of these courses are a waste of time (and money), in that you don't really learn the needed skills in them.
Linux is not completely virus-proof. Where do you figure the term rootkit came from? Linux viruses are far more rare and often quite limited in what they can do, but they do exist.
Yeah, that RAD750 is the one I was referring to. One thing I noticed is that the thing is built on a process size nearly twice as large as the regular earth-bound chip (250nm vs. 130nm).
It takes several years to develop a radiation hardened version of circuits, in addition to being very expensive. About the most modern such processor is based on the PowerPC 750, aka Apple's G3.
Also, as far as I understand it, processors using smaller processes are much more difficult to harden, which significantly limits modernization.
I tend to just bundle up the extra wires with velcro ties and stuff them into the top 5.25" bay, right above the optical drive, and since that's a dead-air zone anyway (optical drives don't need any active cooling), so it doesn't affect anything anyway, though I suppose that would be a problem in cases that have a top fan mount, though I still subscribe to soldered-joints-are-better-than-contacts camp.
I've found nothing but problems with modular supplies. The contacts wear, oxidize, and after a year or so, it gets to the point where it is throwing the voltages to hell (in excess of 10% off), which doesn't qualify as good in my book.
Which may be plenty, depending entirely on what it's being used for. It's more than you'd ever need for audible frequency work, but would be woefully inadequate for RF.
Patches that fix things are generally pretty tiny, as they're generally not much more than s/badcode/goodcode/. It's content patches that add new stuff that get huge, and are inherently big due to big files required, like textures, sound files, etc.
But there are societies out there who didn't experience the horrors of the Spanish Inquisition and all that, and who still cling to the (in our eyes) outdated concept of blasphemy-as-a-crime.
Not yet anyway. Islam came into being 700 or so years after christianity, and they share a more-or-less common base, so islam could be considered right now to be as christianity was in the 1300s, and going through their own schism, or perhaps their version of the protestant reformation, only with 21th century technology at hand, which may be a distinct cause for worry.
Unless I'm getting this mixed up with another one, according to govtrack, this never got voted on in the Senate, nor did its companion, HR 251, which was passed in the House, so it's not actually illegal.
The people suggesting "call the media" are not wanting the media on the scammers. They're wanting the media on the law enforcement officials so they will go after the scammers.
This isn't about preventing people from gambling. This is about preventing people from gambling when they're not giving the state of Kentucky their cut.

According to Twitter, it's Microsoft's fault.

Because sleep still consumes a non-trivial amount of power.

Just be sneaky about it then.
Austria, which like Switzerland, is a neutral country and has mandatory military service.
Which part of "ripped out" specifies that said fun stuff cannot be replaced?

Perhaps it falls under "stuff that matters".
This would probably sell in Singapore.
Or Korea.
