Larger platters means more centrifugal force. Too much force and the magnetic emulsion starts to come off the platters, so you either need to find a better way to make the emulsion stick (which does not appear forthcoming. They have to shrink the platters for higher speed 10k and 15k drives) or run the drive slower, which will clobber performance.
that 4 million lines is spread across about 22 different architectures, a couple dozen file systems, and thousands of device drivers. The actual amount of that which one needs to understand to work on something is vastly smaller.
The definitions were up to date (but would become out of date when they started pushing large (>980 bytes) definition updates next month, which the old version cannot handle), but the version was not.
It's quite a bit more extreme than just shutting down one of their servers. They issued a final "signature" update that literally caused each installation of that version to stop functioning.
Starting from 15 April 2010 our CVD will contain a special signature which disables all clamd installations older than 0.95 - that is to say older than 1 year.
I don't think that will work. I believe land ownership on the moon is indirectly prohibited by article 2 of the outer space treaty. Governments can't lay claim to areas on the moon, so they also can't grant areas to private companies or individuals.
.50 BMG was originally a heavy machine gun round. BMG stands for Browning Machine Gun, specifically the M2. It's also used for some sniper and anti-materiel rifles.
That was more true in the 60s, but now putting people in space is hardly NASA's core competence now. They do much more unmanned stuff. They run over 100 scientific satellites and a bunch of interplanetary probes, along with the rovers on Mars.
And for any comments about "statutory rape", I don't think that applies (at least it shouldn't) in the case of two minors.
It applies in most of the US (21 states have close in age exemptions, with varying specifics), which I also think is insane. It's even worse in New York state, where if both underage partners are 16 (age of consent is 17 there), they can both be considered statutory rapists.
anything created by the government is public domain
That only applies to the federal government. State and local governments can copyright their stuff if they like. Florida and Minnesota don't allow it, but I don't know about anywhere else.
Corporations are a creation of the state, and exist only under permission of the state. The solution for dealing with such abuse of laws is to have the state dissolve the corporation and auction all the assets, and release all "intellectual property" back to the public as public domain.
But how do you do that without causing massive collateral damage in the form of employees (in pfizer's case, about 82,000 of them) losing their jobs/pensions/etc.?
Actually, it shouldn't be too hard to build something like that thing for real.
I would bet that someone at arcadecontrols.com is going to start drawing up plans for a cabinet like that. Building it around a mini-ITX board and a small LCD (One of Dell's doublesight displays seems about right, though you could probably find something cheaper) or maybe a netbook would probably work nicely and give more flexibility than an ipad, though you'd probably want to enlarge it a bit to add more buttons so you can use it for more games.
Require car manufactures to have speedometers that are accurate (and easily calibrateable) and I will support your proposal. Simply getting new tires can chuck the speedometer by 5MPH, nevermind other factors.
I suffered from headaches for years until I bought a new LCD tv. I was 'hearing' the TV's high frequencies (That damn whine from CRTS). Now with LCDs I don't hear that at all.
Completely different thing than "EM sensitivity". The CRT whine is not EM noise, it's mechanical sound. A marginal or failing flyback transformer in conjunction with the circuit board it's mounted on forms a loudspeaker and will give off a whine at about 15KHz (NTSC horizontal scan rate).

After all the kicking, screaming, and hair-pulling that would entail, it would push back the exhaustion date about one year.
This had nothing to do with the FCC case beyond being on the same subject. RCN was accused of violating the Consumer Fraud and Abuse Act.

It's a lot less indimitating than it sounds.

It isn't a remote server shutting down, they issued a "signature" update that caused each installation of a version prior to 0.95 to stop functioning.

NASA does a lot more earth-oriented stuff than it does space exploration.
Check out their list of current missions.

How about I use my block during the hours of sleep i enjoy at night
That's the point. The issue is that children are reportedly playing these games all night and not sleeping enough.
IIRC, registering for those online games in Korea requires your nation ID #, so that won't work.

However, statutory rape doesn't apply when both parties have consented, but are both underaged. It's called the Romeo and Juliet rule
Actually, that doesn't exist in most states. Only 21 (IIRC) states have that type of exemption. Wisconsin is among those that don't.

All of which are used to attain pleasure, through a greater or lesser degree of indirection.
Actually, Emacs is technically 1.23.1. They dropped the leading 1 back in the 80s as they figured they would never need a second major version.
Not a made up word, it's just archaic. It appears to have been in common use in North America in the early 1900s.
