If they are around our intelligence (+ or - 30 IQ points) then god help us. If they are smarter then they would realize that they have a entire uninhabited galaxy to rape and pillage.
You sure you dont mean LCDs? CRTs dont use any power to display black.
Personally I've never seen a CRT display much light when showing black at night. Thats comparing my web surfing monitor (white) to my IRC/Konsole monitor (black).
Step 1: Congress makes it illegal to filter political content, or for any US corporation to aid in political sensorship except content relating to the US government
The first viruses spread themselves by infecting other files which were then moved by the users. That fits the definition.
Social Engineering attacks cannot be stopped. People are extremely stupid and will do what a popup tells them to do. IMHO if someone willingly installs malware on their computer, its their own fault.
Viruses which spread themselves are much more scary however especially the good ones.
Viruses need to self replicate. Social Enginnering 'OMG Download this cool app d00dz' doesnt count.
There arent any easy ways to get a phone to send a virus to another phone. The easiest way is Bluetooth or Wifi and then its still a pain in the ass to make it spread.
With Bluetooth you first need to somehow get another phone to connect to you, without user intervention which is impossible (without flaws in the stack). Then you need to send data to the other phone in a way which makes it execute the code. Also basically impossible.
Whats the chance of Google's code having fundamental bugs like that? Nil.
Ah the good old 'Its someone else's fault' routine.
Ever considered that if you were doing the speed limit you would have been able to swerve out of the way or stop?
An absence of evidence is not evidence. In Australia, speeding is a very big problem. A car crash involving speeding on the news at least a couple of times a week. Heck they even have holiday tallies for Easter, school holidays, Christmas, etc...
Actually these days its where they have to roll out the least back haul.
We can assume that in Australia at least, the exchange is in the worst possible place. Inner city it doesnt matter too much because the suburb sizes are small enough for ADSL but as you get out a bit it really bites.
I never saw the point of spares. You cant hot swap them (a small ultra capacitor would help here) so unless your prepared to reboot the laptop, which is a pain in the ass, they are pointless.
Sure they are good on a long trip without any power and you *need* the laptop but usually its just easier to not use the laptop.

Screw copying it to another drive. Just dd it to a file.
Linux can mount the file and pretend ita a hard drive transparently.
It also makes making duplicates easier.
And some people say the Gimp is inferior to Photoshop.
;)
I can really see why thanks to that post.
The Gimp doesnt chew nearly enough memory to be the best photo editor.
Depends on how intelligent they are.

You've been watching far too many movies.
Blackle is absolute crap. :P
No laptops do turn off fully.
Pull the battery out if your paranoid.
I wish the magnetic remote charging technology takes off.
Then the remote can function off a capacitor as well.
I honestly cannot see how standby can chew significant amounts of power.
The circuitry is dead simple and very light.
It was made by the NSA. What did you expect? :P

I am very seriously considering getting one.
Its a sweet board with a perfect price.
Well you revolt first. They will run out of bullets after the first wave. :)

There fixed it for you.
Dont you mean that in two decades, China will become as free as the US?
Private keys are protected with far more secure methods than most other things.
Thats including credit cards and similar sensitive stuff like that.
Cacert.org keeps theirs on a secure box who's only connection to the net is a slow serial link.
I wouldnt be surprised if the first number was in fact accurate until Slashdot linked to the site. ;)

No idiot. Its 'US Clueless'.
:)
Who else would vote a ape in as president?
Or just do it in parallel which is more sensible.
Its dead simple to make Linux do it. Not sure about specific distro's.

Are you trying to imply that these guys broke in to the server room, guns blazing killing anything which moved and then changed their grades? :)

Inner city it doesnt matter too much because the suburb sizes are small enough for ADSL but as you get out a bit it really bites.
So...I should buy a lot of carbon credits and make a killing in 20 years time? :)
Is that a challenge? :D
