  1. Re:Lady Gaga? on Google Trying to Lure Celebs to Google+ · · Score: 1

    And it will take you 6 months and all the data you'll have will be fairly useless.

    Remember, Google isn't paying people to read up on what you think or who you are. They really don't care about you that much.

  2. Re:Misleading Article on Bitcoin Mining Tests On 16 NVIDIA and AMD GPUs · · Score: 2

    But the value of a Bitcoin can vary with the difficulty. Right now its about 1 B$ = 14 USD but if the difficulty doubled the value could double to 28 USD.

    Unfortunately that is a licence that you will need to purchase separately.

    There are also super nodes that Skype runs. If a client doesn't know any peers they connect to a known supernode.

    Erm Skype does use central servers for coordination.

  7. Re:Good practice anyway on Microsoft Says Reinstall Overkill In Removing Rootkit · · Score: 1

    I have to say I've never actually reinstalled Linux on a computer. Once it goes on, it stays for years.

    You try it first and we'll watch how you go.

  9. Re:cost on There Oughta Be a Standard: Laptop Power Supplies · · Score: 1

    The thing is if you plug in a usb port you can only accept 5v 100ma or the computer will disconnect the port.

    You have two options:
    - Negotiate via usb for more power if it is a computer
    - If its a dumb charger, use the signal wires set at a voltage via resistors to indicate that it is a dumb charger.

    For the latter, different resistor values determines if it can fast charge or not.

  10. Re:Lots of work to do... on Stack Exchange Website Profiler Now Open Source · · Score: 1

    It seems they use Linux to cover it up when Windows dies with HAProxy.

    Everything still boils down to IIS, .NET and MS SQL.

  11. Re:maybe not such a bad idea on Google Redirects Traffic To Avoid Kazakh Demands · · Score: 1

    How would it solve it? How would I address a packet to someone else's lan?

  12. Re:It's called a fuel cell on MIT Develops Fast Charging Liquid Flow Batteries · · Score: 1

    It is, because the 'recharging' occurs at the 'petrol' station long after you've left.

    Its then pumped in to someone else's car.

  13. Re:What could possibly go wrong? on US Nuclear Power Enters the Digital Age · · Score: 1

    Do terrorists work in a analog world? Yes. Do terrorists work in a digital world? No.
    So this upgrade from analog to digital will stop terrorists!

    Sorry, just showing how stupid your post is. :)

    I dont see how security has changed since 9/11. Its exactly the same.
    How exactly could a grope have stopped 9/11?

    Has any new measure been added to stop 9/11 from happening again?
    Only thing I can think of is reinforced cockpit doors. Inconvenience to passengers? 0.

    My Wii has Other OS function. Don't know what you're talking about.

    Granted, it wasn't built in, but its a awful lot trickier to take away too.

    Erm HB Gary was some guy typing SQL queries in to urls and then sent a couple of emails.

    Hardly planned, professional or sophisticated. They got screwed by the simplest of flaws and they gave their root password out just because a email asked for it.

    If you only wanted a small portion of the data, it would work just fine.
