At work I run fvwm with the mouse configured for left hand use with xmodmap and Button3 on the title bar set to close the window. Right handed users inevitably grab the mouse with their right hand and try to move a window with their Button1.
Thats an interesting figure because when the alpha came out DEC were predicting 1000 fold improvement in speed over about the same period. They split the improvement over factors of ten: clock speed, parallelism in the CPU and multiple cores were each expected to deliver a factor of ten improvement.
Now while our algorithms might be getting better our programmers definitely are not. A lot of those improved algorithms must be in our APIs. Like the way its easy to use a Hashtable in java now but in the last you might have just searched a linear array.
The axe (or ax) works both ways. My uncle is a former airline pilot and he personally knows of many situations where either the captain or first officer experienced a mental breakdown and had to be removed from the flight deck.
Isn't that what one of the things the video exposed - the fact that the ground crews are yet another glaring hole in the security system?
In reality you either trust your ground crews or you don't fly. They have to walk around with deadly weapons (tools) just to do their jobs. You could confiscate sharp objects at the metal detector then they would pick the same tools up from their tool box and keep going.
Further to that point, a mechanic could conceal a screwdriver in the cabin to be used by a hijacker as a weapon, or he could just sabotage a component and wreck the aircraft that way.
Yet, with our sister planet too harsh for us, and anything farther away being even more inhospitable, it's the only rockball we have for fueling our dreams of visiting at present. So we gaiamorphise Mars, and pretend it's more Earth-like than it is.
Its easy. Just move all that carbon dioxide from Venus to Mars. Problem solved.
40 miles is close to the maximum range for a primary radar (that is, not using a transponder on the aircraft). I wouldn't be at all surprised if the coverage was spotty. I recall from the book that the stationary track was considered evidence of a UFO (as opposed to a fixed wing aircraft or helicopter) but "stationary" needs to be qualified. The radar they had can't have had that much resolution. Helicopters can remain fairly stationary (wasn't as easy in those days without GPS).
For me, this might just have been a light aircraft with a few planet sightings thrown in.
My bet is that the objects in the Kaikoura sighting were normal aircraft. Maybe somebody decided to try his hands at IFR flying without an appropriate rating. The radar data is consistent with a normal aircraft and the rapid movement on the film is obviously caused by camera shake.
WTF is the perfect nickname for both the CIA and Facebook. After all, they're both in essentially the same business. The CIA spies on foreign powers and Facebook spies on everybody. And both lie about it and have been caught.
Combined they could be called the Central Intelligence Corporation.
Then there was this blind guy who tested every component he used with a meter and found that his designs would never work in production with normal tolerance resistors.
it wasn't visible to "the world to see", it was visible to neighbours and people walking by. _Now_ it's visible to "the world to see". Surely you can see the difference
it was also visible to every car that drove by on the street.
Provided that they have a periscope like pylon attached to the top with panoramic cameras.
One link I found makes that the 698-806 MHz band so its about 100Mhz wide but I suppose the value is the universality of it. You can smother the US with microcells. Maximum individual throughput is limited by that 100Mhz bandwidth, and its not fantastic. Probably enough to put a serious dint into demand for ADSL, especially in low density areas.
letting Some Random Website run whatever random shit on your machine is simply **idiotic**
Java applets originally only permitted socket connections to the host they were loaded from. I believe security is more fine grained now. Thats far better than the approach which seems to work with javascript.

Dangerous -- you might introduce venerean diseases.
Originating on Titan, no doubt.

Like the ones ground crews are already using?

Too tiny and too far from the sun.

I could believe ball lightening if there was activity around (and I know south island has a lot of weather). Maybe, maybe not.

> In my experience most people misidentify pedestrian phenomena and call it a UFO.
Uh, what? So they see something they can identify, but somehow gets confused and think it's something they can't identify?
Sure. The Kaikoura thing was basically lights in the sky and some radar tracks which might or might not have been correlated with them.
You stole our summer you buggers. It hasn't been over 20 in Melbourne all week.

Yo Dawg I hear you like task forces...

Did they whack him with a spruce tree or something?
Bet he'd go for that.

"I was overwhelmed with anxiety that I might be the target of a sex crime".
That makes no fucking sense.
Japan has some unique issues with sex crimes

you seem to have never learned about directional antennas, or at least have never applied the idea in this context.
Not much use on a cell phone but handy for making the most out of a single cell tower.
Bandwith is limited so you want to use low power close to the user.
Netcraft confirms it. Mobile TV is dead!
Long live youtube over 3G.

but realy, what benefit would there be to a porn content provider to use a .com ?
Getting past simple minded filters?
