Actually I think the subs are pretty good. Didn't they pwn a US carrier fleet a few years back? But I wouldn't trust the DSD to secure my backups or lock my front door. That would be silly. Describing them as our top cyber spy agency is a bit like describing the Victorian public transport corporation as our top electronic ticketing agency.
No not really. If he had stayed with the first woman for a couple of days instead of jumping over to the next one there probably wouldn't have been any complaint.
Atomic weight is calculated based on the number of isotopes of any given element. A handful have only one isotope and therefore a stable atomic weight, but most elements have more than one isotope, carbon 12, 13 or 14, for example.
Makes much more sense than weights fluctuate based on where they are found in nature. Its why centrifuges can be used to separate uranium 235 from uranium 238.
Our sun gives off a stream of charged particles that form a bubble known as the heliosphere around our solar system. The solar wind travels at supersonic speed until it crosses a shockwave called the termination shock. At this point, the solar wind dramatically slows down and heats up in the heliosheath.
Would anyone care to explain what supersonic speed means in this context?
Travelling faster than the speed of sound in a medium. Even the gas surrounding Voyager 1 transmits sound waves, but they are quite different from the waves in our atmosphere.
I doubt the situation would be any better if OpenBSD had been commercial and closed source. Who's to say the same back door isn't in Tru64, HP-UX and AIX?
Gmail may not be hosted in the US. Say the email is hosted in India and the Government there would like the US to approve a trade deal. It won't take much leverage to get a copy of your email.
Say you could tailor a bacteria to attack or compete with a bacteria which you needed to control. As the target mutates your attack vector could be reprogrammed accordingly.
Or how about extending the idea to build a programmable immune system? If the patients immune system has crashed you just feed in tailored bugs to keep infection under control.
Thats true. She is mainly interested in "passive" content. She loves the Bureau of Meteorology site for example because she loves to garden, but needs to correlate her gardening with the weather. I set up an RSS feed reader with links to blogs such as boingboing, and news sites, but she is not so interested in those. A tablet would be fine but we are kidding ourselves if we think malware is going to just go away.
How do you differentiate a DDoS attack from the usual slashdotting of a web site?
DDoS attackers don't do normal http queries. They make an initial connection to the server and leave it dangling to later time out. The server supports a finite number of external connections and can be easily kept out of action.
> Annoys the snot out of my wife and kids, but that's hardly my problem.
So you are doing it wrong just to annoy people?
I run FVWM with Button3 mapped to the window close function and the mouse buttons reversed with xmodmap. Its annoying for people who try to use my workspace but I can live with that.

Makes me wonder what happened to the rumored HP WebOS tablet.
Did they put Timothy McVeigh back in his cell? Ewwwww.
Seriously, since the US pretty much runs the world, anybody upset about the way things are being run is by definition an Ameriphobe.
But also the Judge has to be convinced that Assange won't just write off the bail money. So it is best if it comes from friends.
Why?
makes me want to make sure I delete my dating profile from POF. It doesn't work anyhow.... :(
Didn't work for Julian. He had to start an international NGO to get chicks.
Can you fax me some white paper? I'm running out.
If you are in a car you just need to give the phone enough power to burn away the roof of the car so that it has a clear view of the sky.

I think thats a 2CV.
But how will they be able to find "bugs" in their program when the program is all bugs?
It works for me!

There really should be a license requirement for using computers on the internet - you don't let unlicensed drivers on the road, do you?
Then my mother would have no access to the internet. She only uses three or four functions on her ubuntu system and I reckon its pretty safe.
...for powering the worlds smallest electric violin.
I wonder if it dreams of android sheep?

and JAXA's planning a solar sail-powered Jupiter missing in the late 2010s
I think a solar sail mission to Mercury would be a far better idea.
They are going to be confused when they find out that NASA is a brand of lubricants in Malaysia.
Maybe it worked too well -D
